KEEPING THE MIND OPEN.

"The world is full of positive men, "
says the Kansas City Star. Those
who are absolutely certain in their
statements, who lack imagination and
perception, who think the world as
they see it is all finished and will new
er be different, whose minds are closed
as tightly as the shells of an oyster to
any new idea"
The Star writer calls such men
rule of thumb fellows. 1t is really
pitiful to note how these ''cocksure"
fellows get on in the world. They sit
in judgment upon every learned or un-
learned. To hear one of these fellows
talk you might get the notion that he
could settle the European war, stop
the slides in the Culebra cut or toss
off without batting an eye such job
as controlling the waters of the Miss
issippi and Missouri rivers.
AS matter of fact men of this type
seldom get very far in the world. They
give so much attention to the business
of others that they do not have time
to attend to their own. The men who
really do things worth while in the
world are, as rule, modest fellows.
They rarely boast, but content them
selves with simply going ahead and
doing the best they know how, leaving
others to judge as to the worth of
their achievements.
The world owes it's progress to the
open minded fellows, men who are al
ways willing to learn, who never for
a moment assume they know all that
is worth knowing, but who diligently
seek to learn and who even from the
lips of babes gather additional wis
DOM

CRANBERRY TIME IN
NORTHERN WISCONSIN
Lancaster People Harvest Fair
Crop of Berries.
Mr.. J. r. Webb Spends Few Delight
full Weeks As Supervisor
Plenty of Redskins.

CranberrieS are being packed IN
Northern Wisconsin now and some OF
the local people have keen interest
in this years crop. Mr. James L.
Webb returned a few days ago from
Mather. Wis, in Juneau county, where
the Williams Cranberry company has
a large marsh. Mr.. Webb had charge
Of the checking, paid OFF the plckers,
saw that the cranberries were proper
Nv put away in the warehouses and III
general looked after the company S
business The William company is
composed of Lancaster and Platteville
people. The company is incorporated
al $4,000 and owns 1,055 acres OF
land. 60 acres of which is in two cram
berry marshes. The frost got into
The upper marsh this year and totally
DESTROYED the berries, but in the low
er marsh the crop will total as many
berries as the whole marsh yielded
last year.
This country is perfectly fiat and
level and as far as the naked eye can
tell there is no fall of any sort for
miles. 1t is with great difficulty that
the bitches are placed for drainage.
The top Of the ground is "scalped' to
the depth of about two inches and the
dirt taken off is used for making dams.
The cranberries shoots are chopped up
into short lengths and forced into the
ground. These short stems take root
grow in time forming the cranberry
vine. The berries grow on vines IN
stead of bushes, as is generally sup
posed, and an upright forms which
produces the fruit.
The berries are all picked by hand
on the Williams marsh and during the
picking season a large number OF peo-
pie are employed. The best pickers are
Polish people; "Polacks" as they are
called, and these picllers are paid their
transportation and provided with
houses during the picking season.
Other races are represented among
the pickers, and the Indian is one OF
them.
During the season bands of Indians
rove all through the northern part OF
the state and work in the marshes.
The Indians will not work on day Ia
Dor at either ditch digging or berry
picking, and they are paid at the rate
OF fifteen cents a peck for picking. Mr..
Webb says they are inveterate gam
blers and play every night around
their campfires. The Indians live out
doors and work a great deal OF the
time in the water of the marsh with
entirely bare feet.
Cranberries are a very delicate crop
and require a deal of supervision to
keep things going properly. In case
"A frost comes on it is necessary to
food the marsh, but unless this is
properly done the cure is worse than
the disease. The Williams company
keeps two men on the job nearly the
whole year round, one of whom is an
expert This season they will pack
about OBS barrels which viii sell for
around $3.50 a barrel. About forty
acres will produce this season. There
are several different varieties of Der
ries, The Mcfarland, Metallic Bell,
Jumbo, and Centennial, being the most
common varieties. The marsh at
Mather has all Mcfarland berries on
ii.
Mr. Webb returned home as brown
as a be->y and reports having a very
pleasant outing.
