A movement is on foot at Oshkosh
to establish a plant to manufacture
pearl buttons from clam shells taken
from the Wolf and Fox rivers in that
vicinity. Shell gathering is an extens-
i've industry at Fremont, on the Wolf
river, most of. the shells going to the
button factories at La Crosse. Guy
Hilbert, residing at Hilbert's Landing,
where the Wolf empties into Lake
Poygun, is one of the most active
dredgers for clam shells on those wa
ters and he estimated that last season
from 100000 to $4,000 worth of shells
were shipped from Fremont alone. A
number Of crews dredged last seas
on, some of them lifting from 200 to
$50 pounds of shells a day. These
bring 1923 a ton delivered at Weyatu-
vega.
The shells on the Wolf river are
heavier and tougher than those on the
Fox and hence are more valuable, be
ing made into buttons having four
thread holes. The softer Fox river
shells are used mostly for buttons with
two thread holes. A scow is used and
this floats with the current in the
dragging operations. 1t is said the
supply Of clam shells will last twenty
years at the present rate of consump-
ton.
Once in a while pearl is found
that can be disposed of to the jewelry
trade, although clam pearls are not
as valuable as oyster pearls. Mr.. Hill
bert has collection valued at about

old owl
Home-the place yhere you are
treated best and grumble most.
Fresh strawberries are in the mar
ket at soc a box-made for the pu~-
pose.
There is no geography of success.
Success is in yourself and not in the
town or business that surrounds you.

The state conservation commission
is making preparations for a busy
season in the distribution of fish and
fry. 1t expects to Guido any previous
years in the collection of the spring
spawning variety of fish-if wind,
weather and high water do not spoil
their plans-as the work depends a
good deal on the condition Of the ell
ements.
A good many fish will spawn in the
lakes this year before the ice goes
out, as the ice will be some ten days
later than usual.
Since the first Of January, this
year, the commission has received and
booked 5000 orders for various va
rieties of fish for the many lakes and
streams of the state. The commits
sion generally carries forward enough
applications from year to year to send
out all the fish they would usually
have for distribution the following
year.
A great many fish will have per
ished this past winter in many in
land lakes on account of the great
thickness of the ice and the great
blanket of snow on the ice which
practically Theoretically seals the ice
so that none of the foul air or gases
arising from the water can escape In
the inland lakes having streams Of
water through them, giving circula-
ton to the water there will be very
little effect, if any on the loss Of fish.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: A certain hest
tation in business with shrinkage in
it's volume is natural at this season,
and there is now all the more reason
for it because of present disturbing
elements. Yet the volume of transac-
lions is greater than usual at this pc
riod and the position of commerce and
industry remains remarkably strong,
Notwithstanding the foreign complica-
titno,s transportation delays and
doubts about future supplies and
prices.
Recent storms and cold hindered eff
forts to relieve the freight congestion,
and overseas shipments continue diff
cult and uncertain, but domestic move
ments of raw materials and products
freer and there is somewhat less re-
straint on manufacturing activities.

have appreciably diminished, and in

To Price Mark White Ivory.

Eyes, we have found way to do
that" said the buyer in answer to a
question, asked by writer in Toilet
Requisites. "Now that white ivory
ware has attained such degree of
popularity we have a great deal of it
to mark. AS you say, it is difficult to
put a price mark on it without scratch
ing the surface. In times past little
piece of adhesive tape was stuck on
the goods and the price written on
that.
This method is clumsy and the eff
feet isn't pleasing. Then we tried u.s.
ing match, marking the price on with
ink. But the match absorbed the ink.
So this wouldn't do, One day some
body thought of an orange stick. We
tried it and It worked perfectly. The
orange wood is too hard to take up the
ink and not hard enough to scratch the
ivory"

DAYLIGHT SAVING SYSTEM is
ADOPTED.

The so-called daylight saving plan
by which the clocks are set forward
one hour during the long days of sum-
mer was adopted by most of the coun-
tries in the north of Europe in 1916.
The nations in which the system was
put into effect included Great Britain,
France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark. In Eng
land the law was operative from May
21st to Sept. Goth; in France, from
June 14th to Oct. LIST; in Sweden,
from May 18th to Sept. Both; in Nor
way, from May 22nd to Oct. list; Ger
many, May LIST to Sept. 30; and in
Italy, from June 4th to Sept. 30th.
In general the laws provide that
factories, banks, stores, trains, thea
tiers, restaurants and other Industrial,
financial and trade establishments
shall conform to the new schedule,
beginning and closing their activities
one hour earlier in the day than I'M
der the old system, though by the
clock the time is the same. In the
large cities in the United Kingdom the
parks were obliged to keep open one
hour later than usual to give the peo-
pie the benefit of more fresh air.
In the United States the daylight
saving plan was adopted in some
cases by individual firms and by
few municipalities, but chiefly on &C
count of the great inconvenience it
would cause to the railroads it was
not generally favored. There was no
national or state legislation on the
subject.

Clear, Peachy Skin
Awaits Anyone Who
Drinks Hot Water
Says an inside bath, before break
fast helps us look and feel
clean, sweet, fresh.

Sparkling and vivacious-Merry,
bright, alert-a good, clear skin and
a natural, rosy, healthy complexion
are assured only by pure blood. If
only every man and women could be
induced to adopt the morning inside
BATH what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of the thousands
of sickly, anaemic-looking men, wom-
en- and girls, with pasty or muddy
complexions; instead of the multi
tudes of nerve wrecks" "rundowns,"

glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it

neys and ten yards of bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible waste, sour
lamentations and poisons, thus
cleansing, sweetening and freshening
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bill
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism,
colds; and particularly those who
have pallid, sallow complexion and
who are constipated very often, are
urged to obtain a quarter pound Of
limestone phosphate at the drug store
which will cost but a trifle, but Is suf-
ficient to demonstrate the quick and
remarkable change in both health and
appearance, awaiting those who prac-
tice internal sanitation. We must re-
member that inside cleanliness is
more important than outside, because
the skin does not absorb impurities
to contaminate the blood while the
pores in the thirty feet of bowels do.
