The others were her husband, father

After being idle for four months on
account of a strike of 900 employees,
the Nekoosa-Edwards paper mills at
Nekoosa and Port Edwards, near
| Grand Rapids, are running again, ac-
cording to Franz Rosebush, superin-
tendent. At Port Edwards the COM
pany has erected a building to house
100 men. There are 500 men in the
mills and many of the former en-
ployes are drifting back, said Rose
bush. The labor leaders still contin-
ue to maintain pickets.
Herman Elsas, president and gen.
eral manager of the Continental Pap
er Bag Co., New York, purchased for
that company the Marinette and Me-
nominee Paper Co. mills at Marinette
and Menominee. The purchase in
cludes large water power on the
Menominee river, three paper mills,
two sulphite mills, two ground wood
mills and other valuable real estate
and timber land. The consideration
is reported to have been about ST.

The discovery that Benjamin An
derson, Deerfield, is afflicted with
leprosy, brings to light the third case
of this dread disease within a recent
period. Andrew Anderson, the sick
mans son, states that for months he
was unable to market his farm pro-
ducts, was refused visits from the
neighbors and had to keep the chill
dren out of school. Even though his
father was kept in a. room alone the
neighbors objected to his presence.
The elder Anderson is a resident of
Sank county and his case has been
remanded to the courts of that baili-
wick.
With a record of 118,000000 fish
saved in ten weeks and three weeks
work remaining, the government fish
rescue crews on the upper MISSISSIPPI
pi river, between Bellevue, Ia, and
Red Wing Mimi, have exceeded last
years record by $50 per cent. All of
the fish rescued were caught in land
locked pockets which were fast dry
ing up or where they would have
smothered when the sloughs froze ov-
er in the winter. G. F. Cutler, super
intendent of the Homer Fish hatch
cry and officer in charge of the res
cue work, said that more fish have
been saved by eighty men in three
months than all of the government
/ hatcheries in the United States prop
agate in year The work is to be
continued until Nov 10, if the weather
will permit and by that time, it is es-
timated the number of fish saved will
total over 130,00O,000 Supt Cutler
declares the fish rescue work is the
greatest food conservation movement
inaugurated by the government. If
one4half of the fish rescued this year
grow to one pound in weight, the food
value of the fish saved thus far this
year. at ten cents pound, totals
SIS 900 900.
