Visit some great emporium. There mil
lions Of money are invested, and the
complex system is operated on the
nigh scale of expense that burdens
metropolitan trade. The cost of the
thing to you is not merely what you
pay for the article. 1t is your car
fare, the dinner in the city, and most
of all, the time.
The home store lays down the ar
tlcle from Egypt or Australia or In
dia on the counter at the price the
same thing will cost in the great city.
And even if you paid lot more for
it, you could afford to. For you have
bought it without loss of your valuable
time, without any incidental expense
whatever.

Reducing Feed Costs

The food production organization
resembles systems of producing man
ufactured goods as these existed 100
years ago.
In those days there was little con-
centration of manufacturing in large
establishments. Products were most
" turned out in little workshops.
Many things were made in peoples
homes. There was little division of
labor and little machinery. Wages
were low, but production cost high.
When manufacturing was concen-
trated in large workshops with divi
sion of labor, use of machinery, and
systematic organization, production
costs were reduced, although labor
cost higher.
Would it be possible for a similar
reduction in costs to be made in the
business of food production?
The land is scattered, so the work
ers can never be concentrated in any
one place. 1t is usually cut up into
small individual farms, so that pro-
duction is not organized on a great
scale.
Some people have always contended
that the work could be done with
greater efficiency, if corporations
would obtain control of large tracts
of land, and operate them with gangs
of men somewhat after the style of
factory production. This seems pos
sible. Yet it has not been satisfac-
torily tried out, except in some To-
calities like the great farms Of the
Northwest wheat belt. Conditions
there are exceptional. These tracts
can be worked according to standard
lied plans better than the average
small farm.
Also the single small farmer, know
ing every foot of his land and familiar
with its possibilities and treatment
by long experience, would have a Ger
tain advantage over the corporation
attempting to operate large group
of such farms. Individual ownership
gives a man incentive to do his best.
The owner of the small farm might
get quite as much out Of his own
acres as the corporation gang that
might work more scientifically, yet
with less ambition and interest in the
results.

OBSERVATIONS
IF The WAR

Was the subject of DR.. Henry Coe
Culbertson, President of Ripon Col
lege, who spoke at the Congregational
church Sunday night. A large audi
ence greeted him and they were high
Iy pleased with his talk on his person
al observations of the war while he
was overseas in the Y. NJ. c. A. work.
His talk was very interesting and in
{ ructive. He brought out many facts
that his hearers were anxious to
know about. He refuted many ad-
verse criticisms being circulated in Thu
country adversely to the Y. NJ. c.
work overthere. He was an eloquent
speaker and gave many of his per
sonaI experiences while in the service
over there the past year.

MunicipIe Wood & Coal Yard

At the last session of the Common
Council there was started movement
for a coal, wood and ice service IN
Grand Rapids to be operated by the
city on a cooperative plan. There
appears to be a sentiment and belief
prevalent among our citizens that we
are being overcharged for ice, wood
and coal. Personally we have no data
on which to prove whether the charges
are true or false We understand that
members of the Common Council
have figures and that the dealers are
asking too large profits from the con-
sumers. If this is so, and that the
local dealers are in a combination and
overcharging the consumers then some
steps ought to be taken to prevent
it. Last winter we know that Wau-
sau purchased wood in large quaint
sizes for her citizens and sold it at
cost price which was way below prices
charged here at the same time. This
fact we took particular notice Of at
that time.
Wood prices range from $500 a
load for pine kindling. Mixed cord
wood 16 inch length $500 and $3.50
per single cord. Hard maple wood
$500 and $3.50 per single cord &c
inch and hard to get at that.
Cheapest soft coal $3.50 per ton up
to $1,000. Hard coal $3.50 per ton.
These prices are very high. The
very highest they have ever been in
this city. Judging from the retail
prices in Green Bay, Fond du Lac,
Oshkosh and Milwaukee they are high.
We believe the Common Council are
wise in investigating the matter and
let the people know the truth IN the
matter. Our citizens are willing to
pay the coal and wood dealers a fair
! profit on their investment, but they
don't want to be over taxed because
the dealers can do so by standing TO-
gether and controlling this market
A thorough investigation of the mat
ter will do no harm at this time.

with increased facilities of every ma
ture, the farmer here today has only
to take advantage of the glowing
opportunity before him. The first step
is to eliminate the scrub bull. There
never has been an argument In favor
Of arguments against him. So long
''as money talks the argument of
decreased profits is loudest against
the scrub.
The need for Improvement is so
imperative that farmers of the state
must supplant the scrub and the grad
sire with pure breds to keep abreas.
of the insistent demands from buy
ers for better cattle or be placed in
the position of the scrub" football
team and witness the progress from
the side lines. Unlike Topsy, the cat
tie industry Of the state has not ''just
growed." This state has not assumed
leadership in cattle raising through
accident. AS a great advertiser once
remarked: ''There's reason" Pro-
gressive farmers saw the handwrit-
ing on the wall. They discarded the
scrub. They turned to the pure bred
sire. The result has been that buyers
from almost every state in the union
have turned to Wisconsin for their
supply! But the demand for better
cattle has increased to such an extent
that the supply is inadequate to that
demand. There is no market for the
scrub offspring. Theref0re-there IS
no place for the scrub. The argu-
ment is simple, sane and sound, based
on dollars and common sense. The
pure bred is demanded. The scrub
is denounced. What will Wisconsin
do? There can be but one answer
edo" the scrub.

RECRUIIINGFOR
i. 5. NAVY

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. Is, 1919.
My dear Editor:-I am again writ
ing you in reference to Navy enlist
ments. By authority from Washing
ton, we are again enabled to furnish
transportation to applicants and also
subsist them. This means that any
one wishing to enlist, will have their
transportation paid to Milwaukee and
if they fail in the physical eXamina-
ton we will send them back We
will also subsist them while here.
In order that this may be used in a
conservative manner, consistent with
the plan of economy practised IN
Government branches at this time 1T
is suggested that no one take advan-
tage of this unless they feel reason
ably sure that they can pass the
physical examination. They could go
to their family physician, or any pa
triotic physician in the town will
gladly give them a preliminary eX-
animation, and then, if they will no
tify US or our nearest sub-station,
transportation will Immediately be
sent them Attention is again called
70 the fact that the ages for enlist
ment are II to 35 years. Men under
Is years of age must have their par
ont's consent.

put Wisconsin in the front rank in
recruiting, which was the position it

ADOPTED

WHEREAS, the dairy farmers have
not greatly increased their net profits
during the war owing to advanced
costs for feed and help, and
WHEREAS, during the past four
months a fairly commensurate profit
was established through the high
prices for milk products, and
WHEREAS, said increase in profit
has been confsicated entirely by the
milling interests in the sudden and
unwarranted increase on the price Of
bran from farmers who depend on
bran for their protein feed, now there
fore be it
RESOLVED, that we hereby ask
our Senators and our Representative
in Congress to investigate the question
not necessarily at this time, to reduce
prices but to discover if possible the
source of power among the mill own
ers that can produce ARBITRARILY such

The above resolution was adopted
unanimously by meeting composed
Of representatives Of school boards
and teachers from practically every
school district in Wood County. There

question should be investigated.
