BUILD A NEW DAM

The Wisconsin Valley Electric Com
pany will build the dam which 1t has
had under consideration for the past
few years, a description of which was
given in the Pilot when the engineer
came here to lay out the plans. The
large, heavy concrete wall which pro-
tects the company's. generating plant
on the west and which extends a dis
tance below the plant is to be extend
ed at the same height to the large
rocks at the foot of the falls or to
what is known "the bulls tail" When
the dam is completed and filled up
there will be no more "Big Bull Falls"
nor upper dam, the latter which has
stood since the water power was first
harnessed up in Wausau, some eighty.
years. This will vastly increase the
water power at this point and it will
be probably the largest concrete dam
on the river.

TAKE CARE OF COTTON.

Gov. Parker of Louisiana did not meet much encouragement in his proposition to close down all gins until the price of cotton became satisfactory to the growers.
 Taking 1t by and large, it was not very brilliant scheme. The clos ing down of the gins would have virtually stopped the picking, and every good farmer knows it is to his best interest to get the cotton out of the field as quickly as possible to avoid having stained cotton.
 If the gins had closed down most farmers would have been compelled to stop picking because they could not take care of the bulk cotton. D&led cotton can be much more easi- ly handled than bulk cotton
 But those farmers who are now holding their cotton should provide some shelter for it, and not leave t at the mercy of the elements Mer- oha' ts who ace interested in such cotton should insist that it be under some kind of shelter.
 There is already vasta amount of damaged cotton in the country-left over from last year and as much of this years crop as possible should be kept white and free from weather damage.

THE MISSING LINK

The newspapers carry a story that Roy Chapman Andrews, curator of mammals in the Museum of Natural History of New York, will head an expedition leaving for Asia next Feb ruary in search of the missing link between the ape and man. The ex- pedition will spend five years doing research work throughout Asia.
 The thing that interests us in this connection is what are they going to do with this link if they find it.
 Ever since Darwin first promulgat- ed his theory of the missing link there has been a great discussion of the theory of mans descent from the monkey.
 But if the expedition should settle in it's own mind that it has found this missing link, can it coneinee the world will anybody be any better off for having discovered that several thousand years ago our ancestors wore prehensile tails and climbed truond through the tree tops. We would rather not have it proved that we once did such things.
 Much money has been spent and many lives sacrificed in the attempt .o reach the poles. And after one iaring explorer finally attained the goal what did it amoutn to? How much better off is the world today because Admiral Peary succeeded in reaching the farthest point north? Nobody has benefited except Peary and he only in his pride of having achieved something which other men had been unable to accomplish.
 Money for such expeditions would better be spent in finding ways and means of alleviating pain and suffer ing, or making this old world bet ter place in which to live, rather than to try and find out what was going on thousands of year ago.
 Such theories are only promoted atheists and others who are attempt ing to discredit the Bible and to de- stroy out faith.
 Roy Chapman Andrews won't have to go so very far to prove that he was descended from the ape-and not so very far descended.

HANDING OUT ADVICE

Sometimes we have a great and abiding sympathy for tae farm CT, not that he particularly needs cur commiseration or that It will do him any good. But newspaper men have always been more or less the victims of advice givers.
 Nearly every lay member has an idea if there were only more money in the business they eoEld edit the paper better than the man whose business it IS to get a1 copy
 But in later years it has become fashionable to give advice to the farmers and they have turned their attention from the newspaper.
 The government employs a large nnmber of experts who have never been any nearer farm than to drive by the big road to go out and show the farmer how to do this and that and there are so many different ways of doing the same thing that the poor farmer is at a loss as to just what procedure to follow that in many cases he is coming to the con elusion that he doesn't know nything about the game he has been following II his life and he is giving ID in despair and moving to the cities and towns.
 Take the poultry business for in stance. Time was when farmers wife had a few hens which she turn ed loose on the farm and paid no further attention to them other than go out and gather up two or three bushels of eggs every day or So. But now, the poultry experts give out so much advice and so many foods are being sold that. guarantee to produce eggs that the poor hen is so tangled up that eggs are becom- ing so scarce that they will soon be a novelty rather than one of our staple articles of diet.
 The farmers don't need any advice as to holding their cotton; rather he needs assistance. The average farm CT knows as well as the average busi- ness man that if he could hold his cotton off the market until the de mand became strong enough he could get any price for it he might ask
 But the average farmer also knows that ir order to do this he would have to have a great deal more capital than the average farmer possesses, 0 else he must have some strong finan- eial backing from the average busi- less man.
 Now, if the cotton is to be held ar better price, something more Efficient will have to be done-some-

PROTECTION.

John M. Parker, governor of Louis jana, in a recent address, said:
 "From 1912 on I have had very strong views in regard to public matters, and especially in reference to the tariff. Those views which crystalized in 1912 satisfied me that the tariff question was not a politi- cal question. It is great big eco- homie question:"
 The farmers of this country, with the exception of the sugar growers, have not needed protection for their products. More especially has this been true of the cotton grower. He has had a virtual monopoly and the only thing that has bothered him has been the manipulation of prices on the New York market.
 But now the cotton industry is in need of protection. With the dis covery of the uses and benefits of cotton oil large and thriving in dustry has been built up.
 The industry is being hamstrung how by the importation of a cheap substitute in the shape of soy bean oil, which comes here from Japan in large quantities; also cocoanut oil
 About two or three years ago when cotton seed began to increase in price, manufacturers seized upon these imported oils instead of cotton oil, but it will be observed that their products went right along in price with cotton seed. The housewife doesn't know whether her shortening is made of cotton oil or soy bean Of course, as the fellow said, if she can't tell which is which, what diff ference does it make?
 But it makes this difference: The average housewife is patriotic enough to want products from our own fields, even though others may be just as good.
 A few years ago cotton oil was being largely used as a substitute for olive oil. It was claimed that t took an expert to detect the diff ference between the two oils and if anything cotton seed oil had a shade the best of 1t in certain uses. But a mortified government took the stand that such method of fooling the public should be stopped and decreed that olive oil should be so branded and labled that unsuspect- ing people would not get cotton oil when they thought they wanted olive oil
 Let congress put a duty on this cheap oil from Japan, so that manu- facturers will not be tempted to use it in preference to the home product.
 Gov. Parker further said that pro lection was a form of insurance and that's what we should have-insur- ance against the cheap coolie labor of Japan.
 Here is an interesting tabl@show- ing the imports of the various oils, which are being used as substitutes for cotton oil, during the last fiscal year:
