time to unearth them. They as
sumo greater proportions in con-
gested districts than is possible
| in the small city. That In the past
three years, considerable of a
stride has been made In Baraboo,
along these lines, anyone with an
investigating mind can discover
for himself.
Some Conditions IN Baraboo
After the retirement of the two
! old firms, unknown to me, a sched-
ule of considerably increased pri-
ces was drawn up by and signed
! by each of the succeeding firms,
each being provided with a copy.
Later, one asked my opinion. |
advised against it, stating it
was an injustice to his patrons,
and as both copies were in his
handwriting, if any deviations
from the letter of the contract
were made, unpleasant comphca-
tions might arise for him as he
could be made to appear response
bic for their existance. This is
the schedule / later refused to
adopt, reasons for which [ gave
in my previous article.
Gradually,without Justification,
extra charges have been added
until the general funeral expense
has become a third to one-half
/ higher than formerly. For in
stance: Formerly the price of
the casket included the outside
box, trimmings, etc. The price of
the casket has been raised, and an
additional charge made for the
outside box, trimmings, etc.
Antagonistic measures have been
put into practice to Interfere with
my business. I refer to disparaging
statements regarding the quality
of my goods, which [ can prove
equal to any; to solicitations
among old patrons who have vol
unteered apologies for allowing
outsiders to influence them; to
gifts, fees, ETC., distributed for
such influence attempted inter-
ference with wholesale houses, let
tiers in substantiation of which, I
posses and interference with
livery service. When I started
in business | employed Sherm
Luce to pull my vehicles. Early
in 1914 about an hour before the
teams were required for funeral,
for which all arrangements had
been made, Sherm came to me and
informed me he was unable to pull
my rigs. | asked why, and he ex-
planned that Elmer Johnston had
given him the choice of pulling
his rigs or mine, and as he was
receiving more from him because
of housing his vehicles, caring for
his horses, etc, he had no choice
but to give him the preference. On
this short notice | was compelled
to make other arrangements.
I have explained in brief, con-
ditions which have crept into the
profession elsewhere, and what
! they have resulted in. AS you will
readily see, some of these unde-
sirable conditions have been pre-
vailing here in Baraboo. | make
this statement to the readers Of
The News, because, tn r ug h
publicity alone, can these things
! be known and remedied.

vailing in the undertaking profess

to contribute fees to secure the IN

fees were found to range from $40
to $50, according to the value Of

suppose that the patron bore the
burden?
Form Combine
In another city an undertaken,
starting to establish a BUSINESS
was confronted by combine that
required him to adopt a certain
schedule of prices, and to give
bond to the amount of $4,000 as a
guarantee to the maintenance OF
those prices, the stipulation being
that ON the first offense he forfeit
the proceeds of the case, and on
the second offense the bond should
be forfeited and pressure brought
to bear to force him out of bus
mess.
An old reliable undertaken, con-
Quoting one of the largest es-
Establishments, was too honorable to
alIy himself with combine of this
sort. Pressure was brought to
bear upon him. Factories were IN
fluenced to di inmate
against him, liverymen were for
hidden to furnish him with teams,
and every possible interference was
resorted to to destroy his bus
mess, until he became financially
embarrassed. At this point,
friend came to his assistance. Ar
rangements were made to manu-
facture their own goods. They es-
tablished and conducted their own
livery, They placed their prices
on a basis fair to themselves and
Just to their patrons. They adver-

NOVEL FARM DEMONSTRATION
SELLS OVERLAND MODEL 75-B.

Here is an unusual demonstration Of
an Overland New Series Model 75-B
which resulted in the sale of car.
AS a rule, when prospect is inter-
ested in a certain make of car, he likes
to try out the car by a ride or two,
basing his decision on the action of the
car on the road.
But this sale was comewhat diff
ferent.
This Overland and Willys-Knight
dealer called upon prospect who lived
As miles away. On reaching his farm
he found him busy cutting corn and
fodder for his silo. The farmer abso-
lutely refused to talk car.
After watching the farmer and his
hands at work for while, the Over
land dealer suggested novel demon
stration, to which the farmer at length
consented.
The cutter and feeder were hooked
to the rear wheels of the Model 75-B,
which was lacked up and placed on
stumps. The corn and fodder were
then cut and transferred to the silo
for five hours, without a skip or miss
of any kind.
Needless to say that the demonstra-
tion was enough to sell this car.

Legal training and unques-

A man whose record contains

FOR SHERIFF.
GUS SKIBBIE.
o the Voters of Wood County:

To the Voters of Wood County:
You will soon be called upon to
select, through the means of the bal
lot the men who are to assume the
responsibility of administering the
business affairs of Wood County. 1t
will be your ambition to place such
men in these responsible positions as
are best qualified.
One of the most important offices
of the county is that of Sheriff, and
if ever the voters were in position, to
vote for a man who has shown his
splendid fitness for the position he
seeks, it is in connection with the
caididacy of our present Sheriff,
"Gus Skibbie," for reelection to the
Office he now holds. When this man
solicited your support in the campaign
of 1914 he presented for your con-
sderation an unbroken record OF faith
full service in every capacity in which
he had previously worked, and prom
ised to continue such service If chosen
as your Sheriff. You took him at his
word and made him Sheriff, and all Of
our citizens who have had business to
transact with him, or have taken oc-
casion to inform themselves of the
affairs of the office, are of one voice.
"Gus has proven himself well worthy
of the trust imposed" Don't you be-
lieve this official should be reelected
as a substantial endorsement of
good, clean administration of the pub
lies affairs?
An investigation will disclose the
fact that the business of the Office has
been transacted in the most economi-
cal manner, and aside from an un-
usual amount of work for the courts,
269 prisoners have come under the
Sheriff's care, % of whom were taken
to the Columbus and Mansfield prisons
and number to the Toledo work.
house.
There has been no blare of trumpets
as to the quantity or quality of the
service being rendered by Mr.. Skibbie,
for he is not of the demonstrative
type. "Gus" has simply gone along. in
the even tenor of his way, doing his
full duty from conscientious stand
point without fear or favor. He has
been tried and found right, and now
comes to you respectfully soliciting
YOUR support. If elected to succeed
himself, the office of Sheriff will re
ceive the same careful attention as he
has given it in the past.
