SPRING CLEANING

This is the time of the year when all
good house-keepers will clean from
garrett to cellar and the back yard as
we'll. We not only need to change our
winter clothing as do the other ami
mails all about us; we also must clean
away all rubbish, made so plain be-
fore our eyes by the departure of the

see how badly my neighbours yard

en- then let me not be too critical, lest
| appear to Judge The good book says:
Judge not, lest ye be judged"
N.Y. wouldn't it be fine, if after we
have cleaned our premises, we would
arrange some way with our landlords
to improve the outward appearances
of our homes, | am thinking especial
" OF those improvements that do not
cost much money-just a little time
and what is often spoken of in Dixie
as elbow grease. Even we renters
can level our lawns and keep the tall
grasses mOwn. There are considerable
homes with beautiful naples or some
other appropriate shade trees set-out
in front. w hat if every home in town
had them put out this summer.
wouldn't we have an elegant town in
ten years? BY that time there will be
one or two other significant changes
made, in reform, which will change
the appearance of main street. Then
Hurley can be made one of the incest
and most desirable residence townsin

SEE VALUE IN STATE LAND.
Northern Wisconsin is A Region of
Great Potential Pos
sibilities.
BY A. ID. Campbell

The attention OF the Wisconsin Ad-
yancement association is directed to
the development of the cheap vacant
lands of the upper counties and to the
betterment of farming conditions all
over the state.
Among the movements promoted by
this organization are: Better stock:
easier conditions for borrowing money
on farms, for which purpose we con
Quoted state bankers excursion
through the state last year; better
roads for the masses as distinguished
from costly roads for the few; modern
improvements in country homes,
which we have materially advanced;
better farming practice in the use of
improved seeds and especially the use
of clover catch crops for soil improve
ment and the extension of alfalfa eul-
ture, and in many other ways urging
better conditions on and larger rev.
enues from the farms.
SHOW CROP YIELDS.
Our idea of promoting the settle
ment and development of the vacant
lands of the upper counties has been
in an educational campaign in which
official data have been used, in which
the crops yields of the state upper
counties separately and individual
counties have been placed side by
side with those of other states. An
other form of comparison has been
where the common farm crops as
whole have been used The following
table shows the returns from an acre
each of corn, wheat, barley, rye, pot
atoes and hay (the hay being reduced
to hundredweight, as hundredweight
of hay compares better in value with
bushel of the other products). The
total production of an acre each of the
crops named in Upper Wisconsin com
pared with that of the states named
follows for the years 1913 and 1914.

tax law. notices have been sent out
stating that the collector of intern
al revenue has directed his revenue
agent in this district TO inspect all
places wherein liquors are handled
and to con6scate all goods that do
not bear stamps.
The department also announces
an important ruling which states
that the moment wines, cordials,
bitters and other taxable articles
are taken into the retail part of an
establishment they must be stamp
ed. This affects saloons, depart
ment stores, retail stores and drug
stores. The stock held in storage
is not required to be stamped. Bot
ties in show cases or on display
must. however be stamped.
1t is unlawful to remove chewing
gum from the stamped packages
and pile it upon show counters and
cases. The evidence of the pay
ment of the tax is thus removed
and the gum handled in this man
ner is subject to seizure while the
seller is subject to penalties.

it is the settler who goes into Upper
