Since the manufacture Of Swiss

Weimar who makes no pretensions

to demonstrate to cheese makers, farm

county how to produce the long sought

Through Weimar's process American
made "Swiss" cheese can be made to

distinguish the difference. The new
culture, Weimar says, can be used sue

TrampIes Life From Big Reptile In
Little Time.
A combat between buck deer and
a five-foot blacksnake was witnessed
in field about mile and half west
Of Youngsdale, Pa, by Emmanuel Ar
mold. who had been fishing In NOEL
haitian run for trout and was walk
ing to Lock Haven via Castanca.
The fight was Of short duration, for
the deer trampled the life out Of the
big snake In few seconds.
Arnold saw the buck and doe in
field near woods, and the next in
slant the buck leaped in the air four
times In succession and came down
with his feet close together. As he
started toward the field to make an
investigation the deer ran into the
woods and disappeared. On reach
ing the spot where the animal had
been standing Arnold was surprised
to see a large blacksnake crushed and
mangled by the sharp-pointed hoofs
Of the deer, which were punched to-
gether each time the deer landed on
the reptile.

THE GREATEST BARGAIN

In time when prices are soaring out of
reach, it is fitting, nay, even pleasure, to call
attention to the fact that April 80 marks the
117th anniversary of the day the United States
bought vast empire from France for only
B15000,000 This comprises what is now the
states of Louisiana. Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa,
Minnesota, North and South Dakota Nebraska,
Oklahoma and the largest parts Of Kansas, Col
orado, Wyoming and Montana.
The greatest bargain in history was called
the Louisiana Purchase and was negotiated in
the administration of President jefferson and
in the reign Of the first Napoleon.
The purchase more than doubled the area oil
the United States but nevertheless, there were
a considerable number of Americans who sus-
pected Napoleon of protiteering and denounced
Jefferson as an easy mark. In fact, there was
instituted among the New England states a
definite movement of secession in protest
against the purchase.
jefferson himself was not without msgivings
for $15,000,000 was large amount of money
in those days and the territory included in the
purchase was then a vast wilderness with a
population of but 10000. The land had been
coded by Spain to Napoleon who planned to
erect great colonial empire, but he found
himself obliged to sell out when pressed for
ready money to carry on his wars against Eng
England and her allies.
Some historians say that, besides the Revolu-
ton and the Civil War, the Louisiana Purchase
is the greatest fact in American history. But
there can be no doubt that it is the most profit
able investment ever made by any nation, for
the taxable wealth of the territory included in
the purchase now is about 600 times the $15,-
100000 the United States paid for the land
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1920-04-22

But, regardless of its nature or its results, it
is indicative of one very important thing-a
growing conviction in the minds of the people
that they hold in their own hands one of the
chief weapons with which to hammer down
prices, that Of buying power.
The campaign shows realization of the fact
that refusal to buy will decrease the demand
below the supply. And oversupply must, in
the long run, bring lower prices.
One Of the greatest agencies of high prices
has been extravagant, reckless buying. Price
has come to mean nothing to many people. Saw
ing has become forgotten word
America has been on a spending jag. Prices
have never been so high, true-but neither
have the sales of fancy articles. luxuries, silk
shirts, jewelry, lace hose, ct cetera ad infnitum
There are signs Of changing condition. The
ultimate result of widespread overall move
npent would be an increasing use of old clothes,
an added respect for patches, the giving up of
luxury buying and the saving Of money, rather
than the spending of it.
Such sentiment would be a real stride to-
ward lower prices.

Big Curtis Plane
Will Fly Here
Curtis Eagle to Fly Over Kenosha Ac-
cOrding to Announcements Made
BY the Company Today.

Word has been received by Leo Dali
ley. manager of the Curtis company's
branch at Waukegail, that a big ten
passenger Curtis Eagle airplane viii
arrive at the Curtis Flying Field, Just
south Of the city sometime next
month. The big airliner is coming
from Garden City, L. l., and it is ex-
pected that it will be plotted by Ro-
land Rolphs, the pilot who put up a
worlds altitude record last year OF
$4,000 feet, but who was afterwards
beaten by 1t Schroeder at Dayton, o.,
by an altitude of over $4,000 feet.
According to Mr.. Daley, the Eagle
ship that is coming to Waukegan is a
later model than the Curtis Eagle that
was on exhibition at the Coliseum az
the recent aero show. The new ship
is built so that passengers can stand
up in the cabin, and it carries ten
passengers instead of eight, As did the
one shown in Chicago. She has dual
control, has three $50 h. p. CO motors,
giving her a flying speed Of 105 miles
an hour The cabin is luxuriantly fit
ted up with upholstered wicker chairs
with gray broadcloth and silver trim
mings. There is lavatory and bag
gage compartment and none of the
brace wires are visible from the in
terror Of the cabin.
Should one Of the three motors get
out of order, the remaining two will
keep the big ship in the air, and should
she have to resort to one motor only
she could maintain gliding angle that
would bring her to a place of safety.
After short stay at Waukegan the
big ship will fly over Zion, Kenosha
and Raci1e on, her way to Milwaukee,
where she will land at the flying field
at New Butler.
