ATTACHING OLD III. c. l..

Old H. c. l.. has received several
hard blows right here in LadySmith
Commodity prices in general have
dropped considerably here and are
following the downward trend Of the
market The first drop was i'll the price
of lumber, the Flambeau River Lum-
Der Co having reduced retail prices on
this commodity here about 80 per cent
the first week in September. All
building materials are now down from
% TO 80 per cent. q considerable cut IN
prices generally having been made two
or three weeks ago.
The housewife is finding her dollars
go considerably farther in her shopping
than they did formerly. Flour is now
down to around So for Il j0-tb sack
whereas not many weeks ago she was
paying as high as $4.50 for the best
grades. Sugar is only about half what
it was not long ago. retailing now at II
cents Il pound. and all groceries and
meats are down more or less from the
peak prices of the past summer. In
dry-gOOdS. the price decline has been
fully as great if not more than in gro
ceries. To take one or two items. per
Gales. formerly selling at 30 cents are
now p: calicOeS. formerly from 20 to
- are now about half, or around II
cents. Footwear is lower priced and
clothing. generally. is down consider
ably in price.
OF course the percentages of a drop
in prices are not as impressive as the
percentage of an increase. When
sugar advances from II cents to "a.
the increase is 100 per cent, but when
the price recpdeS to y cents. the drop
is only 30 per cent.
The housewives who stocked heavily
on sugar when it was around 20 cents
per pound and boarded it instead of
uSing it up as ii went higher than that.
not only thereby helped to increase the
price and postpone the drop. but now
will use it up at a big loss. The safest
plan. usually. is to buy what you need
when YOU want it. but the same ele-
ment of human nature that prompts the
men who gamble in wheat on the board
of trade explains the fascination of
boarding commodity when the price
is soaring
OF course. both cases mentioned are
gambling. but then. whether gambling
is an evil or not depends upon the cir

FINE BARN BOOK

We are in receipt Of book entitled
The James Way" sent out by the
James Manufacturing Co., of Fort At
kinsOn. Wis, that is about the best all
around barn and farm equipment book
that we have ever seen. The book is
very interesting and instructive and
will be consulted regularly when we get
ready to build good barns on The Big
Seven Ranch. The company was or
ganized in 1906 and it has grown until
now it has an authorized capital stock
of $1,000000.
Any farmer who is planning on
building a new barn or remodeling the
old one would do well to write TO this
company for one of these fine books,
that will probably be sent for the ask
ing.

Some of the reasons why the United
at Washington and why health teach
ing in our schools throughout the land
is made a paramount factor both NOR
ally and economically:
One-half the people born in the u.
S. die before they are u years old.
Two-thirdS of the children in the Z. S.
live in the country or in towns of less
than $500.
United States has higher infant
mortality than Sweden, Norway, Swift
zerland, Finland and other European
countries
United States has a higher maternal
mortality than the majority of Euro
pe;ln countries.
In 1910 one out Of every seven died
efore they were 1 year old One out
of every four died before they were 5
years old. and at the last census 100,
900 children were in institutions, due
to neglect of parents.
During the war 46S out of every
1000, including drafted and enlisted
men, were turned down by the boards
of medical examiners as physically I'M
fit for service.
Thirty-fOur per cent were sent to
health camps to take up physical
training.
The death rate from tuberculosis is
IA out of every 100, except in Wiscon-
sin where it is a little lower, due to
the educational work carried on by the
selling Of the Red Cross Christmas
seals. Buy them,
In the United States there are 1000
900 people sick every day and there
is spent in care and medicine $3.50,
600 and besides this there is the
$1.G00000 which they lose in wages on
account Of their disability. We de

The hull Is electric welded through

cts in its construction. All plates are
abutted without tapping straps or
angles, and then are welded with a
joint which the. engineers claim will
be 95 per cent or 100 per cent as strong
as the steel members themselves. This
eliminates all overlapping steel in plat
