REAL ESTATE MEN
MUST HAVE LICENSES

Because the real estate business so
closely affects the development and the
welfare of its residents. the people of
Wisconsin have declared that real es-
tate brokers and statesmen shall obtain
licenses and be regulated in their
transactions with the public through
the Real Estate Brokers Board, created
by action of the legislature.
Consequently, as provided by law all
real estate brokers and all real estate
statesmen are required to furnish. the
Board with credentials establishing
and competency. Af
ter January /. 1920 no real estate bro
ker or real estate salesman can do bus
mess in Wisconsin without license.
Application blanks may be obtained
by addressing the Real Estate Brokers
Board at Madison. Separate licenses
are required for brokers and statesmen.
The fee for brokers' license is $1,000
and the fee for salesman's license is
5000 The work of this board is sup
ported by fees and not by taxation.

SIS points against 93.1. which was the
score received by Oconto, the winning
county 93.1, is the highest score ever
obtained by any county at the state
show and it was rightfully deserved by
Oconto this year. Twelve counties
scored above so per cent this year.
RuSk cOunty's was awarded eighth
place. Eighteen counties were com
peting.
Visitors came from Canada, Maine
and California and several of the
southern states to see, the Wisconsin Po-
tato Show which is the worlds largest
single crop exposition. Buyers for
Wisconsin certified seed were there, in
numbers and large amounts changed
hands. The Wisconsin crop of certified
seed is now practically all sold Rusk
county has very little for sale as local
growers have spoken for all that is
available.

ATTACKS COST OF PAPER
BY FIGHT ON PULP MOLD

To learn how to prevent an infection
that causes Il loss of more than $4,000
900 annually in wood pulp and per-
haps thus to lower the cost of print
paper is the purpose of experiments
now being conducted by DIR. Otto
KreSs. head of the pulp and paper sec
tiOn of the Forest Products laboratory,
Madison. The experiments will prob
ably be financed by paper mill opera
necessary funds.
The loss is due to molds or fungi
that attack the trees, remain in the
ground wood, and damage stored pulp
by destroying the fibre Infected pulp
clogs the paper machine, results in
dirty, weakened paper greatly increase
the amount Of sulphite required, be-
sides causing total loss of between 10
and 10. per cent in pulp. thus raising
the price of paper. DR.. Kress' problem
is to discover a spray that will kill the
fungi Scientists in Canada are also
at work on the same problem.
Other relief for the paper situation,
DR.. Kress sees in the use OF western
woods and wood from southern Alaska
which he believes. may be shipped
through the Panama canal and manu-
factured cheaply enough TO compete
with the New York market. One-third
of the paper used in the United States
is imported, mainly from Canada, and
new development of paper mills is at
a standstill in this country. Only one
paper mill has been erected in the last
nine years.

25-CENT NEWS-B BUDGET
WANT AID BRINGS BACK $40

DO not say there are no honest peo-
pie in the world First place, YOU
should not be a ppSsimist and. second,
it isn't so. @. Il. Brewer will testify TO
this. Last week he lost $50 in currency
and advertised it IN the News Budget,
requesting the finder to leave the money
at the Bon Ton store. Wednesday, Mr..
Brewer called at the store and found
that the money had been left at the
store for him by the finder. James
Frost.
Mr. Brewer is convinced that it pays
to advertise in the News-Budget.
And the satisfaction of doing a good
deed is worth $40 to Mr. Frost although
Mr. Brewer left five at the store as an
appreciation of the honesty of the
finder.

The proposed reservoir. known as
the Pa Kwa Wang reservoir. was to be

shows the amount Cf power which
could be obtained with normal condi-.

power possible at each site as a result
of the operation OF the reservoir.

Accident Occurs Where Same Train

Ia Years Ago

The west-bound limited, No z, had
a narrow escape from serious wreck
about mile this side of Tony Monday
morning. One of the rails broke UNI
der the train into several short pieces.
but fortunately only the rear truck of
the last sleeper left the rails
This truck bumped along the ties for
half mile before the engineer could
be notified and the train stopped. Out
side of some damage to the track and
a bad scare to the passengers of the
rear coach, no harm was done
Old timers will remember the bad
wreck of No. at the same spot on the
first of July. 1905, in which five lives
were lost. Disregarding the fiagman
sent ahead by an east-bound freight to
hold the limited at Tony, as well as the
signal at the switch that had been left
open for the freight to take the pass
ing track. the engineer of the passenger
sent his train around the curve at high
speed into head-on collision with the
freight train, that was just getting
under way.
Two brothers from Amery, riding the
'blind.4 were crushed fiat. two men in
the mail car were also killed instantly
and the engineer, who was pinned
against the hot boiler for hours, after
lingering along few days, paid with
his life the penalty for his careless
ness.
None of the passengers were seri-
ously hurt, in fact, some in the rear
sleepers were not awakened by the
collision. although the mail and bag
gage cars were completely demolished.
