The publication of fair price lists
thIuout Wisconsin is spreading rap

lists.
To know what are the fair prices
for them to pay and to keep in touch

wives should consult these lists be-

Merchants as well as the house

stabilized. With fairly free flow of
transportation, prices can be main

Wages After the War.

matter of wage-scales after the war

preparation is made for the after-war
reimbursement, the wage-earner is like

ton of labor which presents a string
Of eyer-growing demands ignores the
fact that upon the conclusion of peace,
millions of lighting men will be ready

The supply of labor will then equal
and likely exceed the demand, and
those groups now in a position to
make exorbitant demands Will ma
their power gone. Once more wages
will drop to a normal and reasonable
level. II is unfair to workers to let
them imagine that the present scale OF
wages can continue, for, under this de-
fusion, the proper measures OF econ
omy and thrift are likely to be Ignored
Far better to consider the situation at
once and plan ways to meet 1t. 1t is a
duty to wage-earners to make them

to confront them, so that they will not

Water Carriers.

On q trip to Ecuador one sees some
remarkable sights. 1t is amusing to
see the water porters Assembled about
the fountain in the center of public
square in any of the cities there.
These water porters differ from the
less energetic ones of some South
American cities in carrying their jars
upon their backs instead of on the
backs of mules. The earthen Jars are
deep have wide mouth, and hold
about 40 pints. The porter carries 1t
on his shoulder fastened with leather
straps. He never detaches himself
from his jar either to fill 1t or to
transfer its contents to that of his
customer. He turns his back to the
fountain so that the Jar comes under
one of the jets of water and listens to
the sound of the water in the jar, and
his ear is so well trained that he al
ways walks away at the exact moment
when it is filled. Arriving at the house
of a customer, he goes to the house.

appears behind a torrent of water.

laughing the visit of their aguador,
the respectful little man who bows to

What a farce is this primary cleo
tion-every primary election. When
expediency suggests, Democrats use
only the Republican ticket and Repub-
licans the Democratic. This year Wis
consin's Democrats largely ignored
their own candidates for some selnsh
purpose or other with the result that
the Democratic party is essentially
nonexistent. Its candidates, if it have
any, often must run as independents
The whole primary system is simply a

1920 BASE PRICE SET
FOR 1919 WHEAT CROP

BY proclamation issued by the
President, $500 bushel is set as the
minimum base price guaranteed by
the government for the 1919 wheat
crop. The price for Chicago will be
1926, the same as 1t is for the 1918
crop.
A dislnterested commission will be
appointed next spring to see whether
the increased cost of farm labor and
supplies would justify an increase
above that price.
"In giving a guaranteed price for
wheat one year in advance there is
considerable risk" the president
said.
Despite this, the desirability of as
surfing a supply of breadstuffs to the
world by insuring the farmer against
the fluctuations in prices that would
result from the uncertainties of the
present situation, seems to me to
make the continuation of the guaran-
tee for another year desirable"

them to the dinner table, having n
place for each one, all through the day
acting just as though there were real

Ainrettes From India.

Aigrctte plumes are now obtained
in India in much the same manner in
which we get our ostrich plumes.
When captured, the birds become very
tame. They are fed upon fish. The
birds grow rapidly, and each year pro
duce four sets of the delicate, highly
priced aigrettes. The aigrette is re-
moved without the least injury to the
bird. India seems to be the only
country in which aigrettes can be oh
tanned without killing the mother bird
