are ready to portion it out. Louder

is taught certain passwords and grips

HOLCOMBE PAGEANT
NOW IN MADISON

Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Edminster, who
Gus resources in Chippewa county, on
the upper Chippewa river, have re-
ceiyed recognition from the Wisconsin
Historical society and their splendid
pageant of September 13 and IA, 1917,
has found a home for all time in their
magnificent building at Madison says
the Chippewa Falls Independent.
Under the direction of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. J. Edminster was portrayed the
coming of the fur traders in the Chip
pewa valley, bit of Indian life. and
the first permanent settlers. The clos
ing scene of the pageant on September
IA was depicted the modern and econ
omic and industrial development of
that region. One very interesting part
to those who witnessed the perform
ance was the appearance Of an OK
team hitched to an old Jumper"
driven by Mr. and Mrs. administer,
representing their coming into that
region 1t is work of this kind that
counts in a new country and surely
Mr.. and Mrs. administer have done
their part in placing Chippewa county
on the map. Most of our pioneers
when they made their fortune out of
our splendid forests, and the soil, were
cOntented to take life easy or more to
other parts and spend their money.
When you go to Madison visit the his
pageant has been arranged. AS the
ages roll by Mr.. and Mrs. administers
work will be more appreciated.

There are sometimes places on the

gets worn off and which cannot be re-
touched without making 'botch job"

Peculiarities of the Latin-Ameri-

It was with this in mind, particularly
that the Bureau collected representa-
tive styles of shoes to illustrate the
very high instep, broad ankle, short

1916, John Shelton Williams appended
a table of figures showing the salaries
paid to presidents of national banks.
1t appears that the average salary
paid by ten banks in the Central Re-
serve cities having a capital of S.
000,000 or more is $4,000 a year. The
same tabulation shows that the aver
age salary paid to presidents of ma
tional banks having capital of $780,
900 and less than 100000 is $1,354
per annum, and the average salary
of heads of banks with a capital of
100000 and less. than $250,OO0 is
given as $2,414. It is believed that
on account of the high cost Of living
the salaries of the small and big bank
presidents have been increased since
1916.

MAY SAVE $4,000
TONS OF SUGAR
USED IN DRINKS

Bott1ers Of soft drinks in the United
States may save approximately $4,000
tons of sugar annually by using other
sweetening materials, according to in
vestigations by specialists of the Blu
reau of Chemistry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The Blu
reau of Chemistry is preparing to fur
nish bottlens with sweetening formu-
las that will allow the actual sugar
content in soft drinks to be cut to SO
per cent. or less and at the same time
will preserve the customary taste and
quality of the beverages Starch SUI
gar, starch syrup, maltese syrup and
honey are the substitutes used.
The Bureau of Chemistry special
lists have co-operated with bottlers in
using these to sweeten and give
body to soft drinks Their favora-
BILE opinions of the results have been
sustained by four tasting juries,
made up of representatives of the bot
ting industry, bureau experts, repre-
sentatives of f1avoring extract manu-
facturers and women and children
representing the consuming public.
The sweetening formulas that have
been tested in the bureau experiments
will be furnished to bottlers and the
results of the experiments will be
described in detail in bottling trade
publications. Restrictions on the use
of sugar in soft drinks have been
placed by the United States Food ADJ;
ministration, but it is believed that
the Bureau of Chemistry experiments
will allow the usual amount of these
products to be manufactured without
marked change in paiatabllity or
quality.
