FROGS WITH HAIR
(Pittsburg Leader)

VT ItISUU1E ItdubID
 Finer than frog hair" has long been a slang method of expressing the su- perlative degree. Doubtless no one ever gave it a thought whether frogs have hair or not. Probably no one ever realized they did until Prof. A. G. Boulenger discovered in the German Congo frogs that had growing upon their bodies either hair or very good imitation of it. It has since developed that anatofnically it is not hair, in the sense ir which that term applies to mammals Our own hair is akin to finger nails; it is a horny growth. whereas the "hair" on the African frogs is an abnormal development of the tubercles that appear on the skin of the ordinary frog

STREET CAR SERVICE

There is probability of the dis
continuance of the street car service
at Merrill. Since the advent of auto
mobiles, motorcycles and bicycles
street car lines have not been a paw
ing proposition. A city of any size
must nave some kind of quick trans
portation, otherwise it might as well
take a back seat and go backward,
The service in Wausau could not be
better, so far as it goes, but at the
present 1t only covers a small part
OF the city, and there is no indication
of there being any extensions made
because there is mo money in it,
If Wausau ever hopes to become a city
OF any proportions some sort of taxi
service should be established, making
regular trips into the outskirts to the

other cities, why not in Wausau
Some enterprising man can get point
ers by going down to Rothschild and
looking over the bus service between
that village and Mosinee.

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-07-19
VIRoQUA, WIS, July 10, 1918.

Just little monotonous is it at pres
ent without the activity of the scores
of tobacco buyers who canvassed and
made Vernon county their stamping
ground for fortnight past.
By unanimous agreement of local
handlers and foreign buyers, all pulled
out of the contracting game last We'd
nesday. The Censor is assured that
these men came to the conclusion that
as a whole their efforts at entering
into contracts for the growing crop
were practically futile, and that their
strenuous riding in the growing district
was little less than hindrance to the
farmers in constant interruptions from
their daily and hourly conduct of their
pushing work A goodly number of
crops were bought and contracts signed
but nothing like the number one might
naturally believe considering the ener-
gy and determination exhibited among
buyers. Strong hesitancy was mani
fest among growers, and although the
prices rendered were tempting, they
were slow to bargain away commod
ity of such prospect and quantity as
the present tobacco crop gives prom
Use. Finding these unsatisfactory con-
ditions becoming stronger each day,
the buyers considered it best for all
concerned to abandon the campaign
and return at later date. Censor.
