HIGHWAY AND PORT AID AMENDMENTS IMPORTANT

The legislature has paved the way for the people of Alabama to take the two steps that arc absolutely necessary if they intend this to be . progressive state. The highway and port aid amendments will be resubmitted. One is for transportation by land and the other for transportation by sea. The one is the comple- ment of the other. It is just as necessary to cotton to have an outlet to Asia and Europe as it is to have it brought to the local market ing centers.
 | assured. The tremendous majority cast for ithat measure when first submitted shows how 1he citizens of Alabama feel with reference to ihtrastate road building With the federal gov tomobile taxes caring for the bond issues it Is difficult to conceive an>adverse vote on the part of any man claiming to possess common sense.
 The port aid amendment is quite as important because getting stuff to local markets is but half the fight. Cottons market is 60 per cent foreign and Alabama lumber business does not thrive when it is not moving abroad. Iron and steel can care for themselves to large extent, but the farmer needs friendly nearby port frroperly equipped to serve his export interests. If his stuff moves out of distant port he pays the freight to these ports and that reduces his profits.
 Let us vote both amendments and equip our selves to do business at home and abroad

BUY YOUR COAL DIRECT
FROM MINE-BIG SAVING.

The high cost of coal Is a thing oil
the past! At least, there are no COM
plants on this account-since the re-
moval Of government restrictions =
among those who have learned how to
buy coal. The way to buy coal is to
get 1t direct from the mines. This
saves several middlemen's profits. II
saves hauling expenses. Anyone can
now buy at mine prices, whether a
carload buyer or one who used only
ten or fifteen tons year. This has
been made possible through a plan
evolved by a large and oId-established
concern, THE BERNICE COAL COM
PANY, with main Offices at 400 Como
Building, Chicago.
This company has thousands Of GUS
toners in various' sections of the
United States who receive all Of their
coal direct from the mines. These Gus
toners are pleased not only because
Of the many dollars they save every
year, but also because Of the quality
of coal they are getting. Many write
that they never before had coal that
makes so little dust, that burns SO
well, leaving SO few ashes. II you are
a coal ussd-whsther You use hard or
soft coal, much or little-it will be
greatly to your advantage to write the
Bernie Coal Co. at once for prices,
stating kind and quantity of coal you
use.

ST. PAUL'S MEMS CLUB
AT MERRILL FRIDAY

Members of the Mems Society of st.
PauPs church were guests of the Mems
club OF ST. Stephens church of Merrill
last Friday evening. The occasion
was the celebration of the seventh an
niversary of the Merrill society, and
about eighty or ninety of the local men
went up in automobiles. A very at
tractive program was presented, and
among the speakers were the Rev. f..
G.. Grauer of Wausau, the Rev. f. S.
Scbuetze of Schofield, and the Rev.
Nagel Of Amigo.
The occasion was purely a social
one but in the course of the informal
discussion, the subject of a federation
of mems societies OF northern Wiscon-
sin was brought up. Such a group
would possibly start with the existing
societies at Merrill, Wausau, Antigo.

to take up the matter formally at an

DON'T PLANT CORN
TOO DEEP, SAYS THE
COUNTY AGENT

This week and next VII see corn
planting operations started on many
farms in Marathon county. With the
planting season approaching the rush
for seed has been increasingly active
with every one but the eleventh hour
man stocked up. One fact every far
mer should bear in mind in planting
is not to get the corn too deep, F, G..
Swoboda, county agent, says. On
heavy soils, unless the ground is very
dry, Just deep enough to cover is suf
ficient On light soils an inch deep
is sufficient On the latter it is very
easy to get too deep. In their soft,
loose condition it is very easy to get
the shoes of the planter down farther
than they should go. The deeper corn
is required for the young sprout to
push its way to the surface The
more energy thus used the less the
plant has left to make later growth.
The difference may not be much but
its just enough to give the field set
back. Farmers who plant by hand
need to be especially care,nl. The
average marker make a one to two
inch groove. The planter sets the
corn down at least an inch more
Then when the field is dragged as is
usually the case, the marks are filled
in and the cornis buried from two to
three inches. No wonder Il takes a
long time for it to come up In hand
planting corn dragging with the rows
will help the situation very much.

FARMERS TO HAVE
CHANCE TO BUY NEW
ARMY HARNESSES

Marathon county farmers now have
a chance to get hand-in on the big
supply of harnesses the government
had made for army purposes. The
harnesses are sold at $40 to $50 per
set. The Wisconsin Farm bureau at
Madison has charge of the distribu-
ton of part of these.
Prof Hatch writes as follows on
the subject:
IF. G. Swoboda, Wausau. Wis.
you have doubtless received from
the Wisconsin Farm bureau, informa-
ton and price list on surplus army
harnesses. We are today in receipt
of reliable information that the War
department has contracted with the
U. S. Harness company to sell these
harnesses on percentage basis. 1t
has been found necessary TO remodel
them to make them suitable for farm
use. We are informed that all mater
ials used in remodelling them have
passed government inspection and
should grade as well as those in the
orig, nal harness.
This is submitted for your infor-
nation. The price seems attractive.
Your farmers may want to avail
themselves of this opportunity.

The hill road to Merrill is in poor

crew of men is at work. There are
deep ruts which have been allowed to
harden and only the portion near the

thon county has been dragged. Motor
lists will find the river road in much
better shape. Straight through to
Tomahawk it is better than No. 10.
In Lincoln county the roads are in

In reply to telegram from the

Freedom to Senator Bird the Senator
sem the following lettcr recently:
Mr.. ], t. Fitzgerald,
Amigo, Wisconsin
Dear Sir:
| received at Madison yesterday
your telegram reading thus:
Every Liberty loving American
wishes favorable vote in Irish Resolu-
tion before Wisconsin Legislature to-
day. Amigo Association for the re-
cognition of the Irish Republic hopes
you can support the just claim of the
Irish for self-Government and aid in
the endeavor 10 have Congress recog-
nize the Irish Republic"
believe il you had read the resolu-
tion proposed and had fully compre-
hended just what it meant you would
not have asked me to vote for it.
This resolution contained many re-
citals of fact which do not exist and
asked us to request the President to
do Just what we bitterly complained
OF England for doing during our Civil
War. l could not vote for such a re-
versal of American policy.
l thing practically everybody in
this country wants our government
to recognize Ireland as an independ-
ent nation, Just as soon as the rules
OF international Law, which we have
ourselves insisted other nations should
recognize, will permit. / was per-
fectly willing to vote for resolution
asking the President to do this al
though l am confident he will do it
anyway, just as soon as is consistent
with the traditional American policy.
Senator Burke, good American
OF Irish decent, proposed such re-
solution for a substitute and | voted
for it, but it did not pass.
The resolution which did pass was
pure political buncombe trying to
catch the Irish vote. Perhaps you
are going to be caught by it. Perhaps
not.
Those who want your support should
ask for 1t on purely American issues.
Ii their position on American issues
does not appeal to you, hope they
cannot catch you on foreign issue.
Some of our citizens of German de-
scent unfortunately got caught this
way during the late war They were
misled by designing politicians. No
one criticised more strongly than did
our citizens of Irish descent. Are you
going to make the same mistake?
