NEED NOT HAVE HESlTATED
Enraptured Maiden Was Eager for
Question lowering on the Lips
of Fond Lover.

The dance was over, and now, as
Rupfield tenderiy helped her on with
her wraps the question that had been
burning through her brain all the
evening reached fever heat.
Would his lips ask her what his
handsome dark eyes had seemed to be
asking mutely?
She hoped so. She prayed so. She
and Rupfeld had known each other
for four months now, and never had
such a splendid opportunity oruthe
question offered itself.
He gulped. She trembled with an
ticipation. Why was the poor boy so
shy? Did he think for moment she
could possibly refuse him? Dear, fool

"Faustp a Real Person aoe.

Faust" hitherto regarded as leg
endary character, emanating from the
brain of. Goethe, really existed as a
self-styled prophet, quack doctor and
peddler of fake horoscopes, according
to a discovery made during the re-
cataloguing of the Munich library. In
the diary of Canon Killian Lieb there
was found this entry 20 o. -@.@ i-is
Faust, June, 1923, when the sun
and Jove meet in the same constella-
ton other prophets like myself will
be born"
Under this Canon Lieb had written:
"Faust may believe he was great
commander with Understanding titles
undertaking a pilgrimage through
Germany, but he was, asa matter Of
fact, a quack doctor selling faxed hOro-
scopes and remedies. The fact that he
became rich was due chiefly to his ed
ucation, he having been graduate of
Heidelberg in the class of 1887"

The following circular has been CIV
en- out by the Wausau Rotary club:
In entertaining so large a group of
men as will attend the 18th district
Rotary Conference to be held at Wau-
sau Wis, in April, there are inumer-
able items of detail to be looked after.
The Wausau Club thinks that it has
provided for every possible contingent
cy in the committees that it has ap-
pointed to handle the Conference. Ev-
cry one of these committees has en-
tered enthusiastically into the spirit
of the proposition, and is bending

guests pleasant and profitable. The
purpose Of this folder Is to give you
some idea of just what we are doing.

chairman of all committees. He has
been on the job ever, since Louis
Pradt designated him as the boss OF
the whole proposition. Fred's bust
ness interests have become secondary,

Sycamore's Good Traits.

OF all our forest trees the sycamore
is the last to olOthe itself in the spring
fact, spring is gone before the syca-
more has donned its raiment of foliage.
In early June, when all the other trees
are at their best, the sycamore still
displays it's winter baroness scarcely
yelled by immature leaves. 1t is said
that the sycamore's leaves, which come
in May, are likely to be destroyed by
a mysterious fungous disease, and that
the foliage which finally natures In
July is in reality the trees second
crop. If this be the true explanation
of the sycamore's hardness, the tree
deserves great praise. Such undiscour-
ageable persistence is quite in har-
mony with the sycamore's rugged per-
sonaiity. What other tree would not
give up the fight were it thus handi-
capped and tortured by malignant
enemy? @

how their paid newspapers tried to
disgrace him and drive him out of pub
liclife. And you know WHY-because
he has been the ONE MAN that has
fought for the welfare of the COMMON
PEOPLE and FOUGHT HARD, and
ALL THE TIME. Naturally he made
enemies of the plunderbund, and when
the time came for the profteers to
reap their harvest from the misfor-

SMALL PROFITS MADE
ON FARMS REPORTS SHOW

Washington, Oct. 30.-Compara-
lively few farmers have made large
profits these recent years of high
prices, if figures brought out in a
survey of three localities by the Uni
ted States department of agriculture
can be taken as indicative of the
country as whole.
The figures on farm profits, cover,
ing seven years in two areas and five
years in a third were made public by
the department Monday. They show:
That comparatively few of the far
mers in the groups studied have been
making large profits during the re-
cent years of comparatively high
prices.
That their average return on in
vestment increased from about 4 per
cent in 1912 to 7 per cent in 1913.
That most of the farmers are max
ing less than $500 cash per year over
and above the things the farm fur
nshes toward the family living, which
however, constitute very important
factor.
These facts brought out in this re-
port are of special significance, since
they represent the results of contin-
uous studies of the same farms eX-
tending over a longer period of time

Departemnt specialists point out
that though farm incomes in most
cases showed a marked increase dur
ing the years 1868 as compared
with incomes for 1925, these in
creases are more apparent than real,
in view of the decrease in the pur-
chasing power of the dollar. The
turnover for the recent years was
larger than for the earlier years, but
the returns were relatively little lar
ger, if measured. in terms of the
things it would buy rather than in
terms of dollars and cents.
