ORGANIZED LUMBER COMPANY
DEBORAH and WaucOma Parties Will
Operate Yards i'm North
Dakota.

The Webster-Conover Lumber Co.
is a new company just organized un-
der the laws of South Dakota. The
officers of the firm are Chas. Web
ster, of Waucoma, president, and
DR.. F.. w. Conover, of DEBORAH, vice
president and treasurer. The COM
pany has purchased three yards at
Raleigh, Amiden and Rhame, N. d.
Harry Conover, who recently went to
Canada with the intention of TAX
ing charge of yard there, returned
to DEBORAH Saturday. On Monday
he went to Waucoma on business and
from there he will go to Rhame, N.
D., and manage the yard in that
town. Harry is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the lumber business, as he
has been in the business for num-
Der of years past, and we dare say
he will give good account of him.
self at Rhame, fine little town
about nine miles from Bowman,
where a number of Decorahians are
located.

A FORTUNE IN HOGS.
Two Winneshiek Farmers Draw Big
Checks for 80 Hogs.

Last Saturday Will Barth, of Lo-
Gust brought in 81 hogs, averaging
248 pounds head, and sold them to
Henry Reeves. Mr.. Barth got $13.4O
a hundred and drew a check for
$1,031.S0, which was an average of
over $33 a head.
On Monday Jack Malanaphy, an
other good farmer of Canoe town
ship, brought in 81 head and sold
them to Reeves and went home with
a check of s92s.62. He received
$13.40 hundred.
Hogs were selling on the DEBORAH
markets yesterday at 1870, and we
presume at the rate the price is go
ing up they will be SIS before long.
Pork chops are selling now at %
cents and the butchers feel that %
cents will have to be charged. No
question but that meat is a luxury
now. Mush and more mush will have
to go on the bill of fares. Why not,
it is good, and just as full of nour-
ishment as meat

MotorCarS

Automobile values as at present
established are largely due to the
foresight and courage of Mr.. John
N. WHY'S, the president of this
institution.
He foresaw the universal use of the
automobile and had the courage
to produce quality cars in larger
quantities than they had ever
before been produced.
Steadily increasing production made
possible savings and economies
which steadily reduced costs and
repeatedly established new values.
Eight years ago, with net worth of
little more than $4,000 this COM
pany produced 465 cars.
This year, with a net worth of over
SOS, 100000 we must produce
over $1,000 cars to fill our dealers
contracts.

Foresight and Courage

1t has required an enormous invest
ment in plant and equipment to
prepare for this enormous produc-.
ton.
The prime requisite in the automobile
industry is still foresight and cour-
age.
Mr.. WHY'S foresees demand this
year in excess of the possible
supply.
In addition to enormous investment
in plant and equipment Mr.. WHY'S
had the courage to contract long
ago for enormous quantities of raw
materials-$35, 100000 worth al
ready in hand for this years
record production.
See all this reflected in the values We
have to show you in the most
comprehensive line of cars ever
built by any one producer.
Note especially the remarkable values
represented in the Big Four at
$3.50 and the Light Six at 1886.
