Versant with these lines, knows the

Coal that is economical.
1t might be we'll to add that the
very great success that Mr.. Hehmeyer
has made IN this very important COM
mercial enterprise is due to a large
degree to the fact that he is exper-
fenced and knows his business. His
word carries the weight of authority
upon these matters and his enviable
reputation as fair business man evil
dences the fact that he has merited
the success that has been his. Mer-
Ger county needs men like Mr.. Heb

that he an dIis elevator is located

AS the general purpose of this re-
view is to give both the local and the
outside world an adequate idea of
our industrial progress and the gen
eral excellence of the various pro-
ducts OF the local plants we deem 1t
quite app, opriate to devote space to
The Birkmeyey-Mescher Tile Co., of
Coldwater, Of which Mr.. Henry Birk-
meyer, is manager.
Here the analysis of the clay shows
it is peculiarly adapted to the pro-
duction of the best grades of tile ON
the market. With this foundation
The Birklncyer-Mescher Co. equipped
their establishment with the latest
scientific machinery for the produc-
tion of h, gh grade product.
Then the management has had in
its employment only men of exper-
fence, many oil whom have been with
the company for some time, thus as
suring the public of high state Of
efficiency and uniformity in the pro-
ducts.
It may be we'll to add that the
plant is one of the best equipped as
well as one of the best conducted in
the country while the product has al
ways maintained high standard and
finds lalge and ready sale.
Many farms are drained with their
tile, which shows their reputation
and popularity at home and yet the
local consumption of the large out

The plants OF the White Mountain
Creamery Company which is ably
managed by Mr.. C. V. Huenke of
New Bremen, are model sanitary in
stitutions of this part of the country
that have met viii he universal ap-
proval OF the people. This company
has probably made greater strides
than any other similar institution in
this part of lhe middlewest. The de-
mand for its brand of butter is daily
increasing and so is becoming better
known the name and fame of this sec
ton.
The creamery's brand of butter is
Il neat package and there is no better
brand known to the market today.
But why should not the White Noun
tain Creamery be able to produce as
good, if not better, butter than any
ether creamery on earth? Its plants
are in he midst of one of the most
prosperous farming sections in the
United States; its supply of cream
comes from the healthiest and best
led cows in this particularly advan-
tageous section, for they pay the
highest market price and pay in cash
thus inducing the farmers to properly
feed and care for their animals. The
creamery is positively as sanitary as
long experience and the expenditure
of much money can make it, and it
is in the hands of men who are thor
oughly conversant with every feature
of the creamery business.
There is no reason why we should
not occupy :. prominent place in the
better class OF butter markets and the
above are some of the reasons why
the brand of butter is becoming more
and more popular with particular
buyers, and why the White Mountain
Creamery is prospering far beyond
even the promoters expectations.
The White Mountain Creamery is
also large producer of delicious ice
cream. This is manufactured from
the most pure and wholesome ingre-
dients and is not only health protect
ing bur health giving as well.
Throughout the ice cream depart
ment the same high stands I'd is main
tanned and the popularity of their
brand of frozen dainties is daily in
creasing.
- This popular concern is under the
management and operation of G. v.
Huenke and TO his sagacity and bus
mess foresight is due the great sue
cess of the institution which is one
of Mercer county's most advantag-
eous industries, for he obtains the
raw material here and the money
spent is left at home while a large
portion of the product is sold outside
Cf the county. The people of Mercer
county owe debt of gratitude to the
White Muntain Creamery and to Mr..
Huenke and this debt can be most

Without an elevator any communi-

slow and prosperity a condition al
lnost unknown. With an institution
of this kind in its midst, such as :he

been adding to the growth of the
community with marked success for
some time.
Very liberal with his dealings with
the public, Mr.. He"meyer attracts
trade from the country for many
miles around. The farmers of this
section have long ago learned that
he pays the highest market prices
and hence they seek no further mar

LAND and LABOR

In the January issue of The Journ'
III of Negro History, Professor Je-
rome Dowd, OF the University of Ok
lahoma, in the course of a scholarly
article, explains the conditions essen
tial 10 development of chattel slav-
cry. Among others he notes:
"a country where there is an
abundance of free land. In such a
country it is impossible for one man
to secure another to work for him
except by coercion; for when a man
has chance to use free land and its
products he will work only for him
self, and take all the product for him
self rather than work for another
and accept bare subsistence for
himself On the contrary, where all
the land is appropriated, a man who
does not own land has no chance to
I've except at the mercy of the land
lord. He is obliged 10 offer himself
as a wage-earnr or tenant. The
landlord can obtain, therefore, all the
help he may need without coercion.
Free labor is then economically ad-
vantageous to both the landlord and
the wage-earner, since the freedom
of the latter inspires greatly increas-
ed production. From these facts
and considerations, verified by his
tory, it may be laid down as socio-
logical law that where land is monop-
olized, slavery necessarily yields to a
regime of freedom"
This / rics statement is in itself a
complete essay on the labor question.
Given free land, labor will be free.
Without free land the abolition of
chattel slavery could not make labor
economically free. The labor ques-
ton is bit a question of how to free
tho land, since chattel slavery no
longer exists. And that question was
answered by Henry George. when he
wrote ",'sogress and Poverty" AS
soon rs toe measure there suggested
shall be applied, the labor problem
v ill be solved.

There is nothing so important to
the smaller city as an up-to-date es-
tablishment where men of the com
munity are able to secure the metro
rolitan styles and service in cloth"
ing ami haberdashery. This is the
day and age when men, both young
and old, most be neatly attired in
clothes OF distinction and quality. Ii
they have to do their shopping along
these lines in some out-of-town store
the community in which they live suf-
fers accordingly.
In Rockford and vicinity the de-
sires and demands of the male popu-
lation are more than satisfied at the
store Of w. Il. Pixler and Son. This
beautiful store is strictly modern and
up-to-date and stocked with a class
Of goods that would do credit to a
city much larger than Rockford.
They feature the world famous Kup-
penhelmer clothes for men and young
men, which fact in itself is proof of
their business wisdom, for this line is
found only in the leading establish
lnents throughout the country and is
widely known for its snap and style
as well as it's high quality and wide
range of patterns for both conserva-
tive and ultra-fashionable customers.

legislative halls have sounded the
note of the conservation of our natur-
al resources and the public has risen
with one accord and demanded leg
islation along these lines. 1t is not
every county that has the advantages
Of the location of progressive con-
Germ whose commercial activity is
confined almost exclusively to these
interests The tile industry con-
serves our forests, it conserves the
land and makes places tillable that
were unfis for service. There can be
no excuse for any places about this
county to go untitled when the best
canbe secured so near. 1t pays ev-
en- to tile the hillsides as the tiling
let's the warm air in at the growing
time and this is recognized as one of
the correct principles of modern
farming along scientific lines.
At the mead of the concern is Hen

perience in the brick and tile indus

the creamery well supplied with
cream enough to keep running at its

The Democrat is pleased in this Pros
perity Edition of our onward progress
TO direct your especial attention to
this institution as one of the most
i,nportan, factors in our progress and
one of our most valued industrial as
sets.
The White Muntain Creamery Com

There are several ways of keeping
down the expense of operating an auto
mobile or motorcycle, and one of them
is in watching your tires closely. Some
owners think that as soon as the casing
shows the least sign of wear it is danger
GUS to use it longer, and hence they are
continually complaining of expense
In Ft. Recovery and surrounding coun-
try, however, old tires are made like new
at the modern and up-to-date vulcaniz-
ing establishment operated by l.. II.
Hegemyer. Mr.. Hegemyer can show
you that vulcanized tires from his estab-
lishment will save owners many dollar,
and his business is growing accordingly.
He uses only the most modern and
and scientifically correct machinery in
turning out the work which is guaran
teed to be satisfactory. 1t requires ex-
perience and proper equipment to prop
erly operate vulcanizing establishment,
and that accounts for the popularity of
the place which is now operated by Mr..
Hegemeyer.
Owners of automobiles and motorcy-
cles will find that by patronizing this
establishment they can not only save
money but at the same time protect
themselves against much tire trouble on
the road. The ever-growing trade of the
concern proves the efficiency of the es-
tablishment under Mr.. Hegemyer's S di-
rection. He is one of the well known
young business men of Ft. Recovery,
and since he has been in charge of this
concern he has maintained reputation
for honesty, reliability and high grade
work.
In making this review of the onward
progress of Mercer County The Demo
crat wishes to compliment Mr.. Hege-
myer and to refer all of our readers to
him when confronted with tire problems,
with the assurance that they can depend
on Mr.. Hegemyer to work out the solu-
ton that will operate to their best ad-
vantage.

value have been made.
Mr.. Tuerfs is one of the leading
business men of the county and it is

your special attention to his up-to-
date establishment at Coldwater and
to compliment him and the Coldwa-
