CONOVER'S BIG DRIVE
Residents of That Town to
Raise Funds for Salvation
Army Saturday Night at
the Village Hotel.

Every resident of the town OF
Conover, that hustling town in
Villas county just north of the
county seat, will pull off a drive
for funds for the Salvation Army
next Saturday evening, October
18th.
Conover's quota in the big
drive has not been raised as yet,
and those active in war work
cannot see their town fall down.
They have therefore scheduled
dance and box social to be held
Saturday evening at the Hotel
Conover for the above purpose.
The "doings" will start at eight
O'Clock with the auctioneering
off of the baskets of bully good
eats" which the patriotic ladies
of that town will prepare. Then
it is up tothe young fellow to buy
his lady loves basket, otherwise
there will be a transfer of affec-
t1ons. On the other hand the
housewife will watch her spouce
and see that he b DIS way up on
her contribution. If he does not,
trouble in big gobs will follow.
Either way you can figure it, fell
lows, the ladies have it on you.
Therefore, to the wise guy be-
longs the spoils and it is up to
the male population to get into
the game with a hurrah.
If the people but remember
that the Salvation Army went
into the front line trenches and
gave succor to the boys of Como
yer who were fighting for their
lives and their country, what is
now being asked is nothing COM
pared to the good done by this
organization. Therefore see that
Conover goes over the top with
a whizz-bang.

Attention!

All citizens of Northern
Wisconsin are cautioned to be
unusually careful with fires
this fall. The great amount
of vegetation grown in the
past season will develop a bad
menace with dry spell in
October and November. Set
tiers are warned not to burn
carelessly when clearing.
Lumbermen, campers, hunt
ers, jobbers and others are
urged to be unusually care
full. Make this a matter of
your business so that we will
not suffer confiagration such
as Minnesota suffered last fall.

Commercial Agencies
Report Better Trade
Buying Is Much Larger, Both
at Wholesale and
Retail

Reports received by Bradstreets"
this week indicate enlarged buying,
both at wholesale and retail. Excellent
soil conditions for winter wheat growth
and spring wheat seeding. More life
in building trades, with a correspond
ing increase in the demand for lumber
and other materials; good sentimental
effects Of the cut in iron and steel
prices and larger demand than ex-
pected for desirable grades of wool at
the government auctions are factors
noted as exerting a favorable influence
on business activity. The urge Of
spring buying has been reflected in
better reports as to distribution of dry
goods. clothing, shoes, millinery, mems
furnishings, jeweiry, and automobile
and accessories.
"'Dun's Review" says: "The reawak-
ening, Of commercial activities, al
though s,ill slow TO appear in not a few
instances, ls each week broadening in
IT'S scope. After several months Of
general readjustment, the most graft

spiSuous economic unscttIemcnt, as
failure statistics demonstrate, and
optimism regarding the future char
acterizes practically all reports. That
business will further recover during

Business Money

Whether or not the driven snow dis
couraged paper brokers yesterdays
market was excessively quiet Hardly
any new notes made their appearance.
Inc buying was $3.50. The general
rate is 51a per cent. There we're rum
ors of paper selling at 5A. What
seems to have happened is that one
bank was offering to take limited
amount at that low rate for a corrc-
spondent, providing it had a maturity
of not more than ninety days. The
concession was probably offered be-
cause for special reasons the CORE
spondcnt did not want to employ its
funds beyond that time, and had to
offer a concession on account of the
scarcity of such short-term paper. One
occasionally finds q scrap of paper at
5a4 per cent. but these instances are
so rare as to be negligible.
The utter lack OF borrowing is inter
preted by many brokers as rejecting
corresponding lack Of business. That
is conclusion suggested by their
normal experience. But, according to
one broker, the reason present borrow
ing is so bad is that business is so
good. Collections have never been so
amazingly prompt When they can
collect easily from their customer RS.
business men need to borrow less from
the banks. This is notably true in the
clothing line. From the recent strike,
manufacturers were delayed in sending
out goods until February and March,
and figured upon corresponding post
ponement Of payment until May, June
and July. But they are getting their
payment now. number of borrowers
have been anticipating their notes;
one borrower yesterday paid off $780,

WOmen's Dress
Goods Shortage
Seems Certainty
Passaic Mills, Again Stopped
by Labor Troubles, Are
Not Taking Orders for
Fall Deliveries at Present

With the renewal of the strike in the
six leading dress goods mills of the
country at Passaic, N. j.. the outlook
for fine woollen dress goods for next
fall is regarded as gloomy The mill
owners have discharged all Of their
employees following the resumption of
the strike and will attempt to resume
operations again next week, employing
all those who apply and agree to the
terms laid down by the mills. But the
not expect to be able to resume full
operations under such conditions.
The strike, which is now in its eighth
week, came at the end of the spring
season and the beginning of the fall
season. Some spring business was lost
1t cannot be regained now. The mills
should now be taking orders for mate
rials next fall, but will not do so until
the labor situation has cleared.
What's the use of taking orders
when we don't know what we can make
or deliver" said representative of
ono of the mills involved, yesterday.
I'VE are besicged by manufacturers of
women's garments who want to place
their orders with us, but we turn them
nil down. We haven't single order on
our books now" Representatives of
other mills said the same thing
1t is estimated that the mills in the
vicinity OF Passaic produce between 40
and 40 per cent of the high class wool
len dress goods, suitings and cloakings
used in the women's garment trades.
Their output during the war was small
as most of the production of the mills
was engaged on government cloths,
such as fine shirtings and light weight
suitings. Some of the mills also made
melton ovcrcoatings.
There is. consequently, IL dcarth of
these fabrics in the hands of jobbcrs
and cloak, suit and dress manufacture
crs Even If the mills we're to resume
full operations next week they could
not supply the great demand for these
fabrics before tho fall season set in.
If the mills do start up in the near
future and are able to book orders for
fall, prices will bc higher than ever,
say the mill agents. AT the best, their
labor will cost more and the high grade
raw wools which they have bought
lately in anticipation of fall business
we're purchased at high prices
