REPORTS DIFFICULTY
IN GETTING CARS
Bruce Potato King CIa.m Big Ship
pers Get All the
Cars

Tom Graham, the potato king of the
Bruce cOuntry.sWas in Ladysmith Mon
day and stated that he raised 5000
bushels Of potatoes and had most Of
them stored at his farm. He says that
he is unable to get cars to ship his
own potatoes. but could sell to the big
potato houses, who could furnish him
with cars in short order. 1t appears
10 Mr. Graham that these big com
panieS have the refrigerator cars
leased. and pay $50, per week for the
rent besides freight. Therefore, Mr..
Graham asks. what chance has the
farmer got except to sell to the big
buyers at their own price?
The News Budget interviewed E. e.
Carson. local agent of the 500 Line,
on this matter. and his statements put
different light on the matter. 1t is
true that certain of the big shippers
have leased cars for the shipment of po-
tatoos. but these ears are leased from
private companies and not from the
railroads. Certainly the concern that

A CORN CHALLENGE

J. w. Robinson, who lives on the
Flambeau river s miles southeast of
Bruce, says he raised twelve acres OF
the best corn grown in northern Wis
cOnsin this season. Samples of this
corn are on display at Hill 4 Ser
gents office and are of the yellow, early
maturing sort that always does well
in this section of the state.
We would like reports from anyone
who has raised a big crop of corn or
anything else during the last season.
We don't advocate big acreages OF corn
for this county, but believe small acre
age of it can be grown to good advan-
tage on land that has had clover on it
for a few years, and has had applica-
lions of farmyard fertility.

THE BTSSELL STUMP FULLER

That the Bissell stump puller is
creating a sensation in the way it re-
moves the fangs Of northern Wisconsin
cut-over land, is manifest by strong
endorsements Of men. long residents
of this cut-Over district
Dewitt Van Ostrand of Phillips, E.
]. Stallman, of the business depart
ment of the First National Bank. of
Milwaukee, and Ralph Skidmore, of
SkidmOre Land Co.. of Marinette, Wis,
make good examples of the character
of the men who are loking for the ma
chine to do big things in land clear
ing. Mr.. SkidmOre, after watching a
demonstration recently said: THAT
[ think it to be the best machine that
has been built yet, you seem to have
overcome two of the big drawbacks of
other machines; namely mobility and
anchOring. My thought is that land
clearing machine should have plenty
Of stamina, and should be as nearly I'M
breakable as it is possible to make it
and stamina in machinery usually
means weight The thing that APP
pcdlcu 10 lie ulOIp uIdu yJulIlS else
was the feature of pulling stumps in
to windows. By doing this it goes
a long ways toward finishing the job
as compared with ordinary land clear
ing operations and makes possible
much quicker comeback from the set
tier"
The machine has cleared 80 acres
in 315 hours at total expense of less
than $40 for the period. 1t pulled as
high as % stumps at one whack.
1t is being given much publicity in
big newspapers and moving pictures
are being made of it.
AS we stated some time ago Mr. Bis
sell is looking for a place to manufac-
ture or assemble the machine and La
dysmith is the best central location
for the plant. The business men of this
city would probably do well to call a
meeting to discuss this proposition.
There are at least a half dozen good
points i'll the territory SO that if we
want the plant here we should decide
at once.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

One big manufacturing industry re-
Gently discharged 30 per cent of their
men probably picking out the ones who
were not producing as much as they
should, and they claim to be producing
as much now with 20 per cent as many
men as they formerly produced with
100 per cent.
The attitude toward work is chang
ing and men who. are fortunate enough
to have good job are very careful to
do work enough to hold it.
The happy middle ground when every
man has work at good pay is seldom
realized. For years the job has hunted
the man, and now the tables are turned
and the man is hunting for the job.
When conditions adjust themselves
there will probably be job at good
pay for every willing worker in the
good old Z. s. A.

AUGMENTATION
IS THEME OF TALK
BY MISS adams

XIII the idea of looking at immi-
grants as a class rather than individ-

Americanizadon," said Miss Jane
Adams, of Hull House, Chicago, in an
Americanization talk before the
Friends Reconstruction Reunionists in
1indley Hall at Earlham College,
Thursday night
Her talk was the second in a years
time before such a group of Friends.
The other was at Friends relief
headquarters in France when she was
investigating conditions abroad late
last fall. Many Of the same American

Miss Adams said she had noted

ing the past few months than ever
before

as simply Austrians devoid Of diversi-
fed individuals; neither must we look
at Cinnamon, nor CZeChs. nor Italians

Attempts to spread the English Ian
guage and an understanding of Amer
lean history among foreigners was
characterized as estimable, but insult
.ficient, by Miss Adams. She plead
that something deeper and more
human must go hand in hand with
this.
A considerable portion Of the lee
ture was devoted to a comparison Of
the Europe as she saw it last fall, and
Europe as she viewed it 35 years ago.
Then, nations were looking toward
probable United States Of Europe, she

FURS and
MYSTERY
BY PALAIS ROYAL

6y PAEAIS ROYAL
When you buy furs, it is we'll
to invest in them, rather than
to speculate. There's a marked
difference between the two.
Whenever a fur piece is great
ly underpriced, there is reason
for it. and do not permit the
dealer to tell you that it's be-
cause the weather is warm or
because you're favored Gus
toner, or any such tomfoolery.
Find out why!
Take fox skins, for example.
A legitimate fur dealer may
show you a fine large muff and
throw, made from fine peltries
of unusual size, and quote you a
very fair price on 1t.
Before you purchase, you re-
member that So-andSo, around
the corner are having a heavily
advertised Sale. You decide, as
Is your privilege. to go and see
what they are offering. Fine!
But they are all ready for you
and show you set at lower
price and apparently identically
the same as you were looking at
in the legitimate store, but which
is really worth only half as
much,
Sour grapes?" Not so-here
is the little darkie in the wood
pile.
An interruptions furrier can
take a very small fox skin, or
most any other kind Of peltrie,
and expand it to about twice it's
size, but its intrinsic value does
not expand accordingly.
The skin is laid face down
ward and slit many, many times
down the wider part by cuts
about half an inch apart and run
ming parallel to each other.
Common sheep skin strips are
then cut and inserted in these
Sits and sewed along each edge.
making the back look like
bird's-eye view of freight yard,
although the deception cannot
be detected on the fur side ow-
ing to the great density Of the
fur
When such a piece is made
into a muff or throw, the pad
ding and the lining prevent one
from feeling the many seams in
side the skin, but if you will
press the piece hard between
the two hands and rub slowly,
you will have the sensation Of
passing your fingers over
silken covered wash board.
So, after all, you find that the
genuine article in the honest
mans store represented true
value, while the special reduc-
ton" was no reduction at all
but decidedly an initiation.
Use care to shun the animal
that grows" to twice its size
after 1t is killed, and-beware

When the merchants of the city

that they were suffering from nerv-
