Pat Morans Cincinnati club, with
seven IN a row and nary a setback. is
the relgning sensation in tho major
leagues. Cincinnati no doubt already
IS getting ready for the worlds series.
They have done that before in Gin

for baseball optimism is one OF the
happy qualities with which the fans
Of that city arc endowed 20 a remark

that the Reds have taken seven in

Mt find better town, old fellow, but
why not try to build one for your own
satisfaction?
An inspired student of human nat
ure has said that in general pride
is at the bottom of all great mistakes.
In every community, in every organi-
cation and in every family, pride has
hindered progress and disturbed the
sacred peace and harmony. 1t is the
breeder of ills both great and small.
There can be no doubt about it, the
small town is the place to bring up
children. Every time you pick up
daily paper, you can find instances of
childish crime which are almost I'M
believable. Sometimes we think our
boys and girls are pretty wild and of
course, they are far from perfect;
but their outlook on life is much
broader and purer than the poor chill
dren of the city slum districts.

A Great Light Dawns.

On the first of January, 1920, law
goes into effect by which the finance
committee of the senate and the ways
and means committee of the house are
to form a joint committee to fix what
expenditures are to be undertaken for
the financial year And when the fig
ures have been reached, nothing can
be added to them except by interven-
ton of the president, or by a two
thirds vote of the committee.
This is better than allowing twenty
different committee to authorize ex-
,penditures whenever they feel like it
! It is extremely difficult to do these
things, even when the outgoings are
all recorded in one book. But when
a whole library of ledgers is kept, re-
cording the financial jazz-concerts OF
twenty committees, the agglomeration
! is simply kaleidoscope.
| No wonder that this has been the
most extensively run country in the
world. No wonder there have been
taxes on everything, from medicine
to children's toys. The recently pass
ed measure marks the beginning of g
better day. When accounts are kept
in such a way that we can really tel
what we are spending, we will proba
bly, spend less, and need less.

Secret of II Vulgar Idea of Marriage.
The treating of young girls as OBJ
jects of ornament, and bringing them
up in luxurious idleness. This habit
of excessive outlay upon young girls
runs thru every grade Of society
The daughter of the blacksmith is as
likely to be dressed extravagantly in
proportion to his means as that of the
millionaire for whom he works. The
income which the successful profess
ional man earns by his brains is
equal to the interest on large bulk
of capital; it gives him the feeling of
aff1uence. But in rearing his daughter
he is apt to wholly forget that his
brains die with him. For how many
of the pretty, innocent butterflies who
brighten our streets today is any pro-
vision made to insure them, five years
hence, one 1.-THE of the luxuries which
they now enjoy? How many Of them
are qualified to earn their own living?
The effect of this cruel neglect in par
ents strikes deeper than mere power
ty. Luxuries are made necessities for
the girl. She knows that on the death
of her father she will lose them. There
is but one way to secure thenl-mar-
riage with a rich man. There is the
secret of the -ulgar idea of marriage
which is debasing our social life; of
the market for women which fashion,
able society has become: of the vol
untary sale of themselves of the pref
test girls of each season to rich old
ment of the wretched homes, and Of
the innumerable divorces that end this
lamentable history. What is the rem
|edy?

The Farmer and the Spuds.

A few years ago an Alabama farm
err had 1900 bushels of sweet potatoes
to sell, and southern commission
house offered him half a cent pound
for them. This was the equivalent of
the price offered per bushel. At the
time this offer was made sweet pota-
toes of an inferior grade were selling
in the stores in northern states at five
and six cents pound.
Investigation showed that there was
not one person or one firm that was
making an unconscionable profit out
of the difference between the consum-
er's and the producers prices. But
there were altogether too many peo
pie getting some profit out Of each po-
toto. There were too many middle
men. The cost OF transportation was,
naturally, part of the leakage. Rail-
roads were privately owned then and
freight rates were lower than they are
now, but this was not enough to bring
the cost of the consumer down to the
proper figure. Some kind of organi-
cation was needed to eliminate num-
Der of the leakages, and to get the pro-
duct moved to the consumer by more
direct route-in short, to remove some
of the middlemen.s
It is still more necessary now. This
newspaper is not ready with the solu-
tion II it was, the editor of this pa
per would set up today as the greatest
economic genius of all time. He would
write the name of our beloved town
on the map of the world in letters big
enough to be read from the planet
Mars.
Getting down to the root of things,
it seems logical that if man grows a
vegetable in Alabama, and man in
Michigan eats it, that at least four
people should be paid something-the
man who grew it, the man who trans
ported it, the commission man who
distributed it, and the retailer who
sold it to the consumer. There is no
excuse for other middlemen, and this
limited number of handlers is not suf-
fcient to explain the great disparity
between the price received by the grow
err and that paid by the consumer.
It is evident that too many people
who don't grow, or transport, or even
retail foodstuffs have voice in argu-
ing what the price is to be-and get
paid part of that price for arguing
about it.
This sort of thing is unwarranted
and needs changing, folks. But how
are we going to do it?
Will some local citizen come to the
front with the logical solution, and
make himself famous and the bene-
factor of mankind?
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1919-08-14

There was never a time in the his
tory of this town when the readers of
this paper were so interested in the
advertising columns as they are today.
With prices of everything up in the
clouds, the average man or woman IS
keenly alive to the possibility of shaw
ing off a cent or two in the price of
necessities, and watches the ads like
a hawk in the hope of finding some re-
lief. The WISE merchant takes adj
vantage of this and places his propo-
sitions before the people each week.

ERGOT IN RYE

1t will soon be time to think about
planting rye. Ergot is quite abund-
ant. Plant year old rye or treat your
seed. The treatment is as follows:
Fill tub or other receptacle with
strong brine Put the rye into it and
the kernels affected with ergot will
1oat. Skim them off, pour off the
brine, spread the rye out and let II
dry. Do not put the rye back in sacks
that were not disinfected. W. w.
