Right Idea About Business.

The old idea that business is get
ting the better of your neighbor is not
only 'bad business" but nonsense.
Business is not getting the better of
but doing the best for your neighbor
and yourself. If business is not mu-
tually profitable, it lis mutually de-
structive. My neighbours prosperity
helps mine and mine his. When that
old pernicious notion is finally explod
ed the millennium of business will be
at hand, the era of universal peace
between capital and labor.-Lord Lev
erhulme.

AIbatross Wonderful Flyer.

The albatross spends its life, with
the exception of a few weeks given
each year to nesting entirely at sea,
and is on the wing practically all the
time. Furthermore, it does not pro-
gress by tapping its wings, as most
birds do, but seems to soar at will, rare
ly, if ever, giving a stroke of the wing,
seeming to need no impetus. At nest

Some time in the dim past when
the village of Rummeles boasted
mayor and newspaper, 1.-The Rum
mees Times" which was edited by
the Banta boys of Chicago, this viii
lage was sure on the map; placed
there without doubt by the North
Western railroad and Louis Denton.
However, the new spaper after short
but glorious existence, failed for lack
OF support by the trappers and cruis-
ers in that section-just dying no
more than a natural death Now, at
present writing, things begin to
"perk up" as one old settler is credit
ed with saying. And it is about time
for the village of Conover is sure after
the county seat and the fair grounds.
It's up to us Rum meliLes to ego to it,
and grab our share of publicity.
Melvin Anunson and Louis Larson
of Larson, Wis, have arrived and will
spend the winter MT Rummeles.
Mr.. snd Mrs. George Worden of
Portland, Oregon, are here visiting
the latter's brother, E. z. Hayward
and wife, ARRIVING last week.
1t is reported that E. F. Hayward
has sold during the past few weeks
over 100 acres of land near Rum
meles. The Haymeadow tract for
merly owned by A. H. Hopkins of
Rensselaer,, Ind, was sold to Otto
Christensen of Kankakee, H., and
his three sons, who will arrive in the
spring to make improvements upon
their farms. Hayward has also sold
80 acres in the same locality to H.
Luttkns of Hales Corners, Wis, who
will join the colony in the spring.
This land was formerly owned by g.
P. Dickinson of Eagle River Forty
acres and seven lots on Marshall lake
owned by Mrs. Augusta Handles was
sold to DR.. c. l.. Tasche of Sheboygan.
If this doesn't look like good sized
colony, and for the placing of Rum
meles back on the map, then call the
writer bullshevist.
TNoTE-In the month Of July, 1908.
the Banta boys of Chicago, then on
vacation at Rummeles, issued, upon
their return home, 4-page, 5-column
newspaper called "The Rummeles
Times" A copy of this paper is cow

PACKERS SAY MEAT
PRICES WON'T FALL
Arn1istice Increased Demand
u. S. to Feed Europe.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE American
Meat Packers Association in a statement
issued to-day declared that lower prices
for meat may not be expected until the
war stricken countries of Europe are en-
abled to resume their quota OF produc-
ton.
The statement reads in part:
High prices will continue for a long
time. Each day that brings final peace
nearer means greater call on this
country for meat The supply of meat
Ia dependent first of all on the supply
of live stock. European herds have been
reduced by war To that extent world
production Of live stock Is crippled
Live stock on farms in the United
States at the beginning OF this year ex-
ceeded the number at the beginning OF
1918 by 100000 cattle, 4,2l3, 900 hogs
and 100000 sheep.
But the armistice. instead OF having
reduced the demand for meat. has given
US more than 100000, 900 additional
mouths to feed, either wholly or In part.
AS shipping becomes available an in
creasing number OF hungry nations will
be accessible for provisioning.
Great numbers OF meat animals have
been dressed since the first OF the year
Hogs are now coming into American
markets in dwindling quantities and in
lesser numbers than a year ago. Yet
pork products must form "A large part OF
our exports. The price of hogs remains
high.
statistics now available as to the ef-
feet OF war on foreign herds indicate
that swine in Italy have decreased from
2.50S, 900 In 1908 to 1870, 900 in 1918. in
France from 7,037,00 In 1913 to 4.l6S,-
900 In ISi1, in Germany from 1852 900
In 1913 to 100000 in 1918, in the
United Kingdom from $4,000 in 1914
to 2.44s,000 In 1918. In Denmark from

In the Netherlands from 1850. 900 in 1913
! TO l,lS5, 900 in 1917.
Low meat prices must wait until
European production is in good swing

and packers can only continue their
strenuous efforts and full cooperation

duction at the maximum and prices at
the minimum possible"

dent Senator Medill Mccormick of ILL

from Europe by the President on his last

Men and women are not ready to
adopt shibboleth," said Senator McCor-
mick, ''or accept q constitution simply
because 1t is one. I say that in the
stand the Republicans have taken on
this matter they have only made a begin
ming. We must carry on In the last

There was great applause from the

audience when James II. Sheffield, who
