Tie average price received by
the patrons averaged three cents

four cents above Elgin. During

MADE A GOOD SHOWING
Present Council was Easy on
Funds According to Com
mercial Club Report.

One of the matters taken up at
the meeting of the Commercial
Club held last Friday evening
was the reading of the report of
the special committee appointed
to investigate the financial con-
dition of the city. This report
was made by Messrs. eAxelberg,
Downs and Clausen:
The report of the Municipal
Department was read by HI. P.
Axelberg and caused some little
surprise for the city was found
to be in better financial condition
than was expected. The figures
used in the report were taken
from the records for the first ten
months period while March and
April this year were estimated on
a basis of last year. The report
shows that the income of this
department for the year ending
April Both, 1915, amounts to
ST., 217.01 while the expenditures
during the same period will
amount to SI8,339.77, leaving a
net shortage of $1122.76.
Mr.. Axelberg stated that this
was a better showing than the
city was able to make a year ago
by more than $1,000. When the
present council took hold of the
reins of the city government the
city was owing $2100 borrowed
money, and $120 is the interest
thereon. This loan has been paid
by the present council, and ac-
cording to the report the city is
in better shape. this year in
it's Municipal Department by
$780,. "a. In addition to this the
council last year transferred from
the library fund $1,000 and this
has not been done this year.
The report of the department
of schools which was read by
City Clerk Clausen showed that
at the close of the present school,
year on June LIST there would be
on hand in the school fund be-
tween $500 and $4,000.
A comparative statement was
also given showing the expend-
itures of the Municipal Depart
ment during the past four years.
In 1912 the total was $18, 48O.88
in 1913 500, 226.79, in 1914 $19,.
343.16 and in 1915 $12,971.99
During the past year there has
been a cutting down in all de.
partments which effected the
saving.

LIVE STOCK DOLLARS I'm: THE NORTH
BY ROY H. BEEBE,
Director, Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders Assn.

knew. In pure water we are
finding a treasure and in elm
ate an insurance policy of live
stock health.
We are too busy to ,philoso-
phize, but old enough to know,
that one half the history of the
greatest live stock state is in the
making. Bankers. teachers,
sheep and cattle men tell us
this, and the North has greater
faith in itself. Stories of &C
complishment take the place of
prophecies. The commercial
clubs Of the upper counties find
their greatest usefulness in en-
couraging the live stock indus
try. The butter factory on the
cross road, the live stock market,
the comm unity sire and the
price of cheese are of greater
moment than visions of an auto
mobile factory. For the men of
the mines must be fed and food
making must become an indus
try. Wild acres must be tanned
with the golden hoof of the
sheep and fe1 tilted by the dairy
COW.
And the method is simple.
More cleared acres mean more
live stock; more live stock means
ready money and more ready
money means more cleared
acres. Just as a hundred COM
munities have found--a live
stock dollar is a home made
dollar.

DwindIinq HeIgoland.

Helgoland, in the North sea, the for
midable German stronghold, is gradu-
ally yielding to natures forces. This
famous island, held by England from
1907 to 1890, is As miles northwest of
the mouth of the Elbe and Weser, and
though only rock rising ITS feet
above the sea, and less than third Of
a mile in area, has acquired great i'm
portance as a German naval base. At
tention has been called to the fact
that map in the possession of the
British Geological society shows that
its circumference in the year 500 was
100 miles. In 1900 the distance around
it was As miles, and as early as 1649
1t had been reduced in area to four
square miles. Erosion by the sea has
been the cause OF the gradual efface-
ment. The wearing away has been
chiefly from the northeastern side,
into which the sea has cut thirty miles
or more-this having been due mainly
to the set of the currents, but also to
the greater hardness of the rock still
left.

Proper Care of the Eyes.

1t is undoubtedly true that we do
not take sufficient care of our eyes.
The eye is too delicate an organ, how
ever, to be subjected to haphazard
treatment A sudden change from
very bright light to darkness should be
avoided, and If the eyes are weak the
prevailing color in the room in which
one spends most of the time should be
some tint that Is helpful to the eye.
sight.
Do not read while lying down, when
rocking or when in car. Do not use
the eyes before breakfast, and do not
read or sew in the sun, but let a good
strong light fall over your right Shout
der. Hold whatever you read on a
level with the eyes, and do not bend
over your book or paper.

IN SHADY NOOKS OF LONDON
Among Them Is the Herb Garden In
Chelsea That Was Originated
In the Year 1921.

There are sundry methods of defy
ing the heat wave that has swept over
London, says a recent Issue of the
London Chronicle.
Half a minute from the roar of
Fleet street you can rest beneath the
friendly shade of the trees Of Clifford's
Inn, or you can wander leisurely
through the clcisters of the Temple,
bordering over Goldsmith and Lamb
and Dickens. But there is an even
more romantic spot than any cld-world
inn that adjoins the street of adven-
ture-the herb garden in the heart of
old Chelsea.
Herb gardens were common enough
at one time in London, but Chelsea is
the only parish that still has one In
being, and there is rest and refresh
ment in visit to this haunt of peace
and loneliness which at the present
day produces some Of the drugs that
figure in the pharmacopoeia.
Its history is interesting. The ply
sic-garden was originated by Sir Hans
Sloane and handed ever by him to
the Apothecaries' company in 172l
The garden was presented to the COM
pany on condition that 'it should at
all times be continued as physic gar
den, for the manifestation of the pow
er, the wisdom, and goodness of God
in creation; and that the apprentices
might learn to distinguish gccd and
useful plants from hurtful ones.'
The Apothecaries' garden is the old
est botanic garden in London. 1t is
included In the many interesting spots
visited by rambling parties arranged
by the Selborne society, an organiza-
ton which reveals the beauties and
curiosities of London to the Londoner.

Not disheartened he later obtained
job as clerk in a grocery store.
Despite the handicap, H = made
