the entire country and the whole
salers having docks at Ashland
made every effort to take care of
Ashland and the country tributary
to this city. In one case in partic-
ular, wholesaler paid more money
for soft coal and in order to play
even put up the price so cents a
ton. The other docks Immediately
put up their price for self protection
for if they hadn't their supply
would have been gobbled up at
once, and the result would have
been that they could not take care
of their regular customers.
The report of the Federal Trade
Commission which made an inves
tigation early last spring of the coal
situation last winter showed that
there was a shortage of coal
throughout the country and that in
many places, the dealers did take
advantage of the situation and raise
their prices to figures which netted
them as high as FIVE and six dollars
a ton profit. This situation did not
prevail in Ashland however as the
local dealers did not make a gross
profit of over one dollar and half
ton.
The defendants in the case were
the Pittsburg and Ashland Coal
company, the Clarkson coal com
pany, the c. Reiss coal company,
who are wholesalers and George W
Mars, the Chequamegon Ice com
pany and Tarbox and Mcdonnell
who are retailers.
The testimony of Mayor Dennis
OH the stand showed that the city
made an effort to help relieve the
situation by purchasing coal. The
city bought about nine hundred
tons on which they suffered a loss
of about $4,000, and finally dis
posed of the coal they had left to
the Pittsburg and Ashland coal
company.

No State Prison Farm This Year.

No state prison farm is likely to
be selected this fall, although the
state board of control and the state
conservation commission have made
survey of the available lands in
northern Wisconsin for this pur-
pose. A bill was passed by the
last session of the legislature per
hitting the utilization of 5000 OF
more acres of state lands in north
e1n Wisconsin for a state prison
camp, the farm to be worked by
prisoners and the products to be
used at the different state institu-
tions.
Owing to the unusual demands
on prison labor it has practically
been decided not to select the pri-
son farm this fall. All of the avail
able prisoners are at work in high
way camps or in the building OF
the home for the feeble minded at
Union Grove, or the women 5 re-
formatory at Taycheedah
Not all the prisoners can be
used in camps of this sort, " said a
member of the state board of con
troll. There is so many things fol
the prisoners to do that it would
cripple US to spare prisoners thi:
! fall to clear up the lands and put
them into shape for a crop next
/ year.
The board Of control, under th'
bill, will have to make a report O.
/ its findings to the next session o
the Legislature.

WAR FUND CAMPAIGN
MEETING WITH SUCCESS
People of Iron County Are Responding
Literally to the Red Triangle Cam
paign Now on In County.

Every section of the county is
being covered this week by work
ers and committees appointed to
solicit for the Y. M. c. A. War
Fund Campaign and they are meet
ing with good success. Iron county
people seem TO have become imbued
with the importance of donating to
this fund and are doing so in lib
eral manner. A good portion of the
village of Hurley has been covered
and the returns are gratifying and
from outlying districts comes the
news that things are going along
fine.
Workers for the cause were
prompted to put forth greater effort
when it became known the fore
part of the week that the national
headquarters of the campaign had
decided that it would be necessary
to increase the amount to be raised
in the country from thirty five mil
lions to fifty millions of dollars,
thereby increasing the apportion-
ment for each district. The govern
ment's decision to hasten the army
TO France is given as the reason for
the increase in the national budget
together with the greater cost of
equipment and administration in
France. Iron county's apportion-
ment has therefore been increased
and it will take some hustling to
reach the goal set. Chairman A. l..
Ruggles received a telegram from
the Milwaukee headquarters the
fore part of the week as follows:
Our government new program
of fastening army to France will
greatly increase amount required
for care of troops there. Equip
ment and administration cost FIVE
times as much in France as in
America. National headquarters
wires that national budget should
be raised to fly million if possible.
Urge local chairmen to spread this
news and correspondingly increase
their apportionment.
Monday night is the time set for
the close of the campaign and while
workers have been on the job so
far this week thev will speed-up
for the remaining days of the cam
paign and before Monday night it
is expected that every person in the
county will have been solicited
and, when the final returns are in.
it is believed Iron coun y will be
among the counties which met their
apportioned obligations in this war
cause.
