: Sixty-Cent Dollars.

The 1917 land clearing campaign in
upper Wisconsin means sixty-cent
dollars as far as the cost of dynamite is
concerned 1t will help the farmers to
that extent if they avail themselves of
the benefits. 1t cuts out the waste in
distribution 1t awakens settlers to the
matter of getting more land in use. 1t
hurts no one, for the dealers were not
making anything out of the traffic in
dynamite-at least not more than pay
for the time and trouble in handling
this commodity. 1t does help the
settlers, and in helping them get more
land in use it benefits everyone in the
upper counties-the best region of
cheap land in America.
Everyone should get behind the
movement for more speedy land clear
ing-eyeryone can help boost the pro-
gram for progress.

MORE MONEY FOR
NAVY YARD WORK

Washington, Sept. s.-More money
will be paid in almost all Southern
navy yards and arsenals to civilian
employees during the next twelve
months and few if any, reductions in
pay will be made at any navy yards.
The adjustment board representing
the navy, army and department of
labor in session today announced that
it expected to have the new schedules
ready perhaps before the end of the
week
Careful consideration has been Civ
en- the data supplied by labor boards
and it is believed the adjusted scales
will satisfy demands of the laboring
men.
Although the wages paid will cor
tinue to differ in different states
there has been made an effort to Tx
a schedule that will be more nearly
uniform than before.
The higher cost of living and the
increased demand for labor have
been taken into consideration in fix
ing the new scales, the board admit
ting the justice in the complaints of
the men in most cases that the wages
are not now adequate.

ANOTHER SERIES

Be ARRANGED soon

Another series of bicycle races will
be arranged in the near future, as
the contests which were held at Kup-
friaa's park on Labor Day excited so
much interest that bicyclists are
clamoring for repetition. Mr.
Wentworth, who was instrumental in
getting up the Labor day series, Is
already at work mapping out plans
for another series, and will have an
important and pleasing announcement
to make within a short time.
When the next races are staged,
there will be many more entrants,
and as a consequence the interest
will be more widespread. There were
so many counter attractions last Mon
day when the races were given that
the crowd was not as large as the af-
ternoon of sport deserved, and for
that reason it is expected that the
next date to be announced will be on
a day when enthusiasts in larger
numbers may attend.

partly eaten from night to night. and
the badly-torn remains were discov-
cred, usually just outside the hen
house in the morning. Of course he
thought it was an o'possum or some
four-legged chicken-eater, and he de-
cided to watch. 1t was about the
midnight hour, when such creatures
are supposed to make the night air
hideous by their disconcerting cries,
that a large bird was noticed to
alight in a tree, just over the hen
house, and the trusty gun, which had
been prepared for anything from
weasel to a wolf, was let go Flap
ping his great wings, and, with not so
much as a squeak, the chicken thief
fell. 1t was monster owl, and the
wings had a spread of about twenty
inches. The chickens roasted in
peace last night, and the owner be-
lieves that he got a chicken thief,
but a creature which he never ex-
pected would stoop to such practices.
