Glue From Flippers of Seal

The way to new and easily ex- plotted source of glue is opened by re- cent experiments of the bureau of standards with a barrel of salted seal flippers, from the Pribilof Islands of Alaska. According to the Popular Me- chanics Magazine, this work demon- strated that 67 per cent of the weight of the salted flipper can be secured as glue of good quality. The significance of this result is realized when it is known that, as the four flippers of the fur seal average eight pounds in weight, and as the bureau of fisheries reports the killing of about 30,000 ami mals annually, the yearly production of fhppers approximates 240, 900 pounds.

this fellow does say something about,

we know what we mean when we say

Negro getting Fine Officers" and
then being unable to deliver any

In the shop is where the genius of
production does its vast work, and
here, also, is where direction should
begin. And again, also, here is where
the Negro capitalist" is weakest. Of

blank institution. 1t is long on office,
but short on shop. But you don't find
men working hard and producing
something real just to fool the public.
Production itself speaks for the sim

CRIME is the honor badge of the i'm

is all right if it presupposes a great
shop. But office without shop is as

QUEER THINGS.

Local Gambling Clubs must be reg

institutions. 1t is said that when
gamblers become "over-heated' and
use abusive epithets to winning ones,
they are put out and barred from the
place. Does the barred one indignate-
ly and sensibly tell the proprietor to
go to hell with your internal placer"
And reasoning thus, further says: II
don't want to go lin your place any
more, you are comforting a great favor
upon me by keeping me out" We ask,
does the barred one say that? Never!
On the other hand he will cringe,
show his teeth and hang around, he'll
do anything to get back the privilege
Of losing his money in that place. He
will even get his friends" to inter
cede for him. This being so paradox
ical is why we place above this little

RENTERS BREAK AWAY
FROM OLD CONDITIONS

Kidder and Tague moved onto the
J. II. Macarthur 240-acre farm, April
IS, this year, coming from Elmo, Mis-
souri,. near the Iowa line. This farm
is three miles north of Ingram and the
boys rent it on the $3.50 basis. Land
lord and renters furnish half and take
half of everything.
The boys tell of rents where they
came from. If a farm is for rent, it
is often put up at auction as there are
so many men there who have no piOn-
eering instinct, and they quarrel over
farms that are for rent rather than
go out into a country where they could
get farm Of their own for what they
pay rent in one year there. One OF
these auctiOned leases brought $3.50
per acre for the privilege Of working
another mans farm during 1920.
The boys have cleared six acres of
new land this spring, besides putting
in six acres of oats, three and One-half
acres Of potatoes, one acre Of onions, an
acre of millet and three acres Of rutta-
bagas. They have % head of milk

MenOminie, who imports Guernseys

they get their barn in shape, they will
put in a herd Of pure bred cows and sell
off all the grades. A new barn will be
built this fall. The dimensions are to
be SOX120. which will make it one of the
biggest barns in the county. There
will be a driveway through the center
so the fertility may be returned to the
soil daily.
If these men carry out their plans
their farm is destined to be big credit
to that part of Rusk County.

WHO HAS BEEN HERE
LONGER THAN p. LESSARD?

Peter Lessard of Ingram, has been
in the country around Ladysmith for 5S
years. He came here when 81 years
old and has been in the county or near
by ever since.
He was cruiser for most of the old
lumber companies who operated here
in the early days when the pine was
being cut from the virgin forest, and
he says he knows Rusk county by heart
For the last % years he has been liv
ing around Ingram, cruising for the
lumber-men there and opening up
farms.
He has owned and done clearing on
13 different farms and has perhaps
cleared more land than any other man
in Rusk county. He is now opening up
his 1G0-acre farm three miles north of
Ingram. Starting three years ago,
he has chopped off % acres, and has 20
acres in hay. This hay is a fine crop.
1t was sown on the land that was
brushed and leveled then spring-toOthed
until smooth. This is his system of
handling new land and is the method
used by many successful men here.
Mr.. LesSard is building a new barn,
30X32, and new house, 22X2S. He is
now 70 years old and has not been able
to do much work this spring, and is
taking it easy Surely this patriot
has done his share toward developing
Rusk county, and is now entitled to
spend his days without any more work

EAU CLAIRE MAN
LIKES RUSK COUNTY

+. A. Lange, of Eau Claire, was in
Ladysmith, Tuesday, looking for pas
ture for $50 large steers that he now
has on pasture at Ingram. He found
the pasture he wanted on the Big Sew
Ell Livestock Ranch and decided to move
the steers over here for the summer
In the afternoon he went to Ingram
that his cattle had gained so that
about 80 head were fat enough to ship
and twenty more would do to ship in a
couple of weeks. When these cattle
are removed there will probably be
enough pasture for the balance of them
for the rest of the season, so that they
won't have to be moved.
Mr. Lange said he would probably
buy couple Of hundred smaller steers
TO put on the Big Seven pasture and
take them to his pea packing plants at
Thorpe, Stanley and Eau Claire for
winter feeding.
While here he looked over the big
clearing going on at the Big Seven and
saw one man and his two boys clearing
close to an acre of land per day and
said he didn't know that there was wild
land like that in the country. He at
tended the land clearing school Tues
day afternoon and saw the new methods
of clearing land. The blasting i'm
pressed him the most. He enjoyed his
trip and went back home feeling that
Rusk county was all that it was repre-
scented, and was a good place for man
TO live.

RETIRED FARMER
DON'T LIKE TOWN LIFE

Louis GagnOn, Of Ingram, is another
man who sold his farm twice. Last
fall he sold it for $4,000 and got $500
down. Then in January Of this year
he sold it again for $15,500, which
price. with the fellows money, who got
cold feet, left Mr.. Gagnon an extra
thousand dollars more than he sold for
at the first sale, C. w. Wirth is the
present owner. The farm consists of
240 acres. 1t is located one mile west
and three-fourths Of mile north of
Ingram. This farm is now worth
around $4,000. Mr.. Gagnon says he
had a good home on the farm but has
a poor one in town. Truth is, he is
lonesome for the farm, but don't like
to acknowledge it.

By Falling Rock
LabOrer Dies In Hospital

Paa Kekua, a Hawaiian laborer OF
the East Maui Irrigation Co., died last
Friday night in the Paia hospital as
the result of injuries received the
previous Tuesday from a cave-in of
earth. The unfortunate man was
about 55 years of age and is survived
by a number of small children.
At the time of the accident which
resulted in his death, Kekua was en-
gagged in repairing the road near Kai-
lua. He was by himself and had Just
begun work for the day when a large
rock and a lot nt loose earth caved
upon him fror the bank beneath
which he was working. Some 10 or Is
minutes later passers by in an auto
mobile, happened to notice his arm
and Tg protruding from the earth and
aftEr some difficulty succeeded in re-.
' loving the injured man from his
horrible position. He was taken to
the hospital where it was found that
his back was broken and he was other
wise so terribly hurt that there was
chance of his recovery.
The accident is almost a counter
part of one which occurred in the
vicinity a few months ago, in
which a Japanese employee of the
company, named Shigeta, lost
his life.

adapted from a magazine story by
Nalbro BARLEY, concerns a young
French convent girl who comes TO
