Gone, never to return. are the cheap
prewar prices of clothes. That is the
view of an expert writing in British
trade publication, and he predicts
another rise soon. Every shot fired
from a 12-inch gun, he says, uses up
half bale of cotton, and in three min
utes machine gun will squander
full bale. The prices Of WOODEN cloth
today are from two and three-quarters
to three times greater than in July,
1914. Linen prices this year, it is
stated, probably will keep at least
SO 1-3 per cent above those of 1917.

Milk will sour in any kind of warm
and moist temperature, and, because
just before and during a thunder
storm the air is generally quite warm
and moist, it is only natural that it
should turn sour 1t is wrong, how
ever, to say or think that thunder
makes milk sour. Thunder is only a
noise, and noise cannot do anything
but make itself heard. The fact that
it is generally warm and moist, how

conditions of the air sour milk very
rapidly, has led people to connect the
two in their minds, and caused them
to fall into the error Of believing that
the thunder is responsible for the
change in the milk.

Why is the ordinary white potato
often called the Irish" potato, when,
as is we'll known, it is a native of
America? A pamphlet issued by the
national agricultural department indi-

Europe by the Spaniards: 1t was
brought to North America from Ire
land, it is stated, by colony of Pres
byterian Irish who settled in New
Hampshire in 1919. 1t would thus ap-
pear that the potatoes roundabout
journey to us fairly entities it to be
called Irish.

A few days ago while coming to
Baraboo U. Won VALID of Madison
lost part of the starter from his car.
The next day in Baraboo when he at
tempted to start the machine he dis
covered his loss. He went in search
of the missing part and in his travels
remarked to a man that he had suf-
fered a loss. The man asked particu-
lars, went to his buggy, drew forth
the piece of iron and there it was.

road and picked it up. 1t was still in
the buggy when he came to Baraboo
the next day-a lucky thing for the
owner.
