Granite manufacturers throughout the
Barre district are facing car shortage
that promises to become quite as serious
as the conditions which prevailed earlier
in the year Congestion was responsible
for the shortage last spring, but large
shippers are unable to account for the
present difficulty experienced in obtain
ing cars Finished work is piling up rap
idly in some of the sheds and unless re-
lief comes within fortnight the short
age will become acute. Many shippers
have had to resort TO the use of box ears
and in some instances heavy vault jobs
have been consigned in the upright cars.
This method of transportation is very
unsatisfactory but rather than delay
longer Shipments that were due sometime
ago. manufacturers gladly accept the box

Dairy Farming Enriches Soil.

Dairying will build up the pro
ducing power of a run down farm
more quickly than will any other
type of farming While we have
few such farms in this section Of
the country, many are beginning
to show the results of continued
cropping, and this is one reason
why dairying is on the increase.
A ton of butter worth 5000 takes
from the farm but o. cents in actual
fertility. A ton of corn, which
may be worth from $I2 to SIS,
will remove from the farm over
So worth of actual plant food.
A thousand pound dairy COW
will produce eleven or twelve tons
Of solid and liquid manure in a
year, and this, if saved and used
properly. will be wolth $25 for in
creasing crop yields. These facts
explain why the dairy farm in
creases productive power. On
many dairy farms it pays to pur-
chase concentrated feeds to sup.
plemeEt farm-grown feeds, and
these all bring fertility to the
farm. Kansas Farmer.

Polite Profanity.

Profanity is far more prevalent
Than most people think. A minis
ter was returning from a fishing
tip. When asked what luck hc
had, he said, Il never caught a
blessed fish" Unconsciously he
used the word prolanely. Another
man, answering a similar question,
s,id:"I never caught a id fish. "
One was no more profane than tie
other. One expletive meant the
same as the other-no more no less.

Trick Of the Human Ego.

Although drops Of falling rain are
known to be almost spherical, they
appear simply as streaks to the eye.
This is because an indefinite number
Of images Of the drop are impressed
on the retina OF the eye and, owing to
persistence Of vision-the retention
OF an image on the retina for fraction
OF second after the object has passed
the eye gets the impression of a
streak. 1t is this that causes the
spokes of a rapidly rotating wheel to
appear blurred and that makes mo-
tion pictures possible.

"Hypocrisy."

Nothing is more unjust, however
common, than to charge with hypoc-
risy him that expresses zeal for those
virtues which he neglects to practice;
since he may be sincerely convinced
Of the advantage of conquering his

the advantage of voyage or a Jour
ney. without having courage or indus

TO AID SETTLERS
IN CLEARING LAND
RHINELANDER MEET RESULTS IN
COOPERATION OF RAILROADS
AND STATE OFFICIALS.
COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED
Plans to Be Worked Out Whereby
Money Can Be Borrowed to
Buy Stump PuIIers or Dyna-
mite to Clear Lands.

Rhinelander - Plans of statewide
scope, whereby stump pulling demon
STATIONS can be conducted and eff
fective means found for helping new
settlers clear the millions of acres of
cutover lands of upper Wisconsin will
be figured out by a special committee
appointed here at a meeting attended
by farmers, bankers, state and railroad
officials and men from the agricultural
college of the University of Wiscon-
sin.
The members of the committee are:
Dean Russell, chairman; G. P. Nor
cord, commissioner of agriculture; w.
H. Killen, land commissioner Of the
500 line; Ford Allen, dairy commits
sioner of the Chicago and North
Western railway and Carl D. Livings-
ton of the department of agriculture.
Stump pulling demonstration trains
now have run over 5000 miles of the
Omaha, Northwestern and 500 line
systems, have given thirty-one dem
instrations in eighteen counties which
have been attended by $1,000 persons.
Various methods of pulling stumps
have been shown and settlers have
been given new ideas. The essential
feature now to be worked out is rural
finance, whereby farmers can borrow
money to buy stump pullers or dyna-
mite to clear the lands.

SERVES 5sYEARs; PARDONED
Governor Phillip Released Diamond
Hunter Alleged to Have
Killed Partner.

Madison-Gov. Philip pardoned Ed
ward Eckhard, who on April ID, 1873,
was sentenced to the state prison at
Waupun for life for shooting and kill
ing Charles Peterson, near Jefferson
Junction.
Eckhard and Peterson were diamond
partners in South Africa. One morning
Eckhard woke up in Africa and found
that he had been robbed of all of his
diamonds and Peterson had disap-
peared. Eckhard floated to America
and became tramp.
One night, near Jefferson Junction,
Eckhard and Hans Wagner, both
tramps, established camp. During the
night another tramp appeared and was
fraternally received. Eckhard recog-
nized the newcomer as his old dia-
mond partner in South Africa. In the
early morning Eckhard, in revenge for
the robbery, shot Peterson after which
Eckhard and Wagner left camp. Wag-
ner went back to rob the person OF
Peterson and, finding that he was not
dead, struck him on the head with a
Ratchet. Eckhard always contended
that the blow of the Ratchet really
killed Peterson.

To owners Of Old Plate.

The value of old plate is seriously
diminished by methods of cleaning at

of the surface by the process known
as s'bufing" not only destroys the
beautiful blue color which alone comes
from age and handcleaning, but IN
great measure, also - the makers

Nifty it's provenance and guarantee It's
commercial value A certain lot OF old
family silver in good condition was by
ill luck given lately to be cleaned. 1t
is now unrecogniZable, and although
the perfection of "shine," the makers
marks of the seventeenth century are
almost undecinherable. Were these
pieces exhibited beside some of the
beautiful old silver now shown at the
museum. the extent Of the havoc
wrought in them would be surprise.
Both for the looks of old plate and out
of regard for it's worth in money, own
ers should beware of modern "buftlng.
If silver is badly furnished, one or
two applications of metal polish USED
for brass and copper will, with little
patience, remove the worst OF the tar

COMPENSATION AWARDED TO

Commission Rules Danger from As

Death on July 4.

Madison - Holding that there is a
special hazard of assault in such en-
pigments as night Waterman. game
warden, bank cashier and others, the
industrial commission has awarded
compensation to the widow of an Osh-
kosh taxi driver who was murdered
and robbed while on duty.
Early in the morning Of July 4 last,
George J. Bischoff was hired to drive a
stranger to the outskirts of the city.
Bischoff carried relatively large
sum. At 5 o'clock in the morning his
body was found sitting at the wheel
of his taxi, the engine still running.
His right trousers pocket was turned
inside out and his money was gone.
A bullet through the back of his head
had caused death.
The commission says: ut was
Bischoff's. duty to go where he was
directed. The duty and the risk be-
came correlative. Danger from as
sault was a hazard peculiar to the re-
spondent's business, just as clearly as
are the exposed gear in a machine
shop hazard in that industry. The
man whose work brings him in con-
tact with such danger, if injury re-
suits, has sustained an industrial ac-
cident We think that the deceased
came to his death by reason of per-
sonal injury accidentally sustained by
him while performing services out of
and incidental to his employment"
