CALL WOMEN FOR
BOX FACTORY WORK
Shortage of Men in Wisconsin Is
Serious Problem.

Marinette, w is, May ~. - n
shortage Of men for work in tn
lumber production industries in th
North, has caused a box manufac
turing company here to turn owe
large portion OF its work to WON
en-. Fifty girls have been employed
to operate various machines. anc
from the reports OF the manage
ment the work is being performed
as quickly, accurately, and etfl-
cicntlv as when men did the work,
In several places the girls work
at the same machine with men, per
| forming their duties without slow
ing up the production in the least.
/ In the assembly room men insert
| pieces Of wood to be sawed and
girls clear the machine from the
other side. In the room where bot
Ting cases for beverage companies
are made, girls put the partitions
together and the men place iron
bands about the two ends Of the
cases Although the women are new
to this work, upwards of 1000 cases
a day are being turned out. In the
printing room, where the name of
the company for which the boxes
are being made is stamped upon
them, men feed the press and girls
clear it.
In several places in the factory
the work is such that it has been
turned over completely to the girls.
In one part of the assembly room
girls place the hinges, locks and
springs on the boxes without the
assistance OF men. In other places
the work is such that men still have
d monopoly. The handling OF
heavy log, as they come from the
woods and the cutting OF the logs
in the Sawmills is too heavy for
other than the strongest men.
In the work the girls have all
been protected from danger as
much as possible. In many places
the girls are sisters or daughters OF
the men at the factory and the

girls themselves are enthusiastic

!, LOCAL COMMENT

The county board is to be commend
ed for its efforts to restore the court
house lawn which was so badly frozen
out during the winter before last. Re-
placement of the shrubbery which has
died should also be made This. court
yard has fair start toward degree
of beauty. which has made the ceme-
terry famous and should be kept up.
People. however, can help IL they will
stay on the cement walks and not cut
across the lawn Careless, thoughtless
wearing Of paths is doing much damage
to public grounds. Sooner or later pro-
vision must be made in Church street
for the parking of autos A few years
ago autos We're admitted to the court
yard only on circus days, but now they
use the lawn on an average Saturday
The time is here for more room to be
made in our streets for automobiles.
Z
People can we'll afford to go to the
liberty bond headquarters at the Mar
shalltown Club next week and order
the amount of bonds which has been al
lotted to them by the various appraisal
committees because in most cases the
allotment will be less than THE aver
age person expected. These bonds at
Az per. cent interest and free from the
tax on moneys and credits are equal
to a Az per cent guaranteed invest
ment or deposit in Uncle Sans bank
and will appeal to many as an ideal
investment. II anybody finds that he
has ordered too large an amount he can
always sell at slight discount of only
a fraction as the 3h per cent bonds are
now quoted at $3.50 on the New York
bond market, but the government urges
that every patriot keep his bonds If he
possibly can. To buy with the inten-
ton Of selling does the governments
credit more harm than good as it de-
presses the price of our governments
notes in the markets Of the world, casts
suspicion upon Uncle Sans credit and
depreciates the value of every bond that
loyal patriots are holding to help win
the war Any person can borrow on
his government bonds so no one can be
seriously pressed by any appraisal
which a committee will make.

many whether the resort to Injunction
proceedings and the expense OF litiga-
ton il the fairest or wisest policy to
pursue toward the public utility COM
pany. The franchise contract be-
tween the company and the city sought
to avoid needless litigation by granting
to the city council the right to examine
the books OF the company and deter
mine what fair rate should be. In
the present controversy the company
offered its books for inspection and the
council could have informed itself as
to the justice Of the company's claims.
| To Ak rate without any effort to OBJ
tain information puts the council in the
position of knowing nothing about
what it has done when the case is
reviewed in court. Nobody wants to
pay any more for gas or electricity
than he has to. but IL the present rates
do not provide for cost Of production
and fair return upon investment, as
the company claims, the courts will de-
eide against the city council and will
order an accounting which could have
been done without the expense Of a
law suit The time to fight would be
after the council knew It was right.

TRADING OFF LIBERTY BONDS.


1.-THE Pella Chronicle.l
A fellow was In Pclla last week
trying to get the people to trade their
liberty bonds for stock In another
concern. We understand that game
IL being played in many places. Peo-
pie are made to feel that in buying
liberty bonds they have made a sac
rifice to the government, and the
stock company comes along as
benefcent friend who is willing to
take them of the buyers hands and
give him for them stock which they
claim may pay from 10 to 20 per cent
dividends instead Of the insignificant
per cent the bond pays. We don't
know whether any one in Pella bit or
not, but they probably did. Our citi-
zens have been taken in before. and
sharpers always come back to easy
marks. A man that offers you trade
of that kind has a poor opinion Of
your intelligence, and II you fall for
it, he has you sized up right. A lib
>erty bondholder can not do a more
foolish thing than to trade it for a
speculative stock. The chances are a
great many to one that the stock COM
pany will never earn any dividends,
and in the few cases that do reach q
paying footing the business will be a.
nanced at the expense Of the govern
ment. A new business can not be
built up without the outlay Of hard
cash, and the promoters of a business
which takes your bonds in exchange
for stock must turn the bonds into
money in order to build up the bus
mess. That means Just so muvh
money permanently withdrawn from
the support Of the government in the
war for a business which, to say the
