Soft Coal Down

The bottom has fallen out of
the market in soft coal. From
a price of Sl4 wholesale or dock
price has decreased to $3.50 a ton
at Ashland. The break came
in consumption caused by the
unusually mild weather conditions
of the last three months. Ship
'ments of coal from the docks
have consequently been far from
below par for the season and
dock companies holding sizeable
stocks are anxious 10 unload,
especially in view of the recent
tumble of coal prices in the east.
Hard coal prices are unchanged
and no break in them is expected
as supplies are estimated TO be
barely sufficient to last through
the balance of the winter, even
should the weather remain mild.

KICK FROM THE OFFICE
Shawano Journal Lands on
Double-Headed Publicity
FELLOWSHIP is Right.

In last weeks issue of the
Shawano Journal, Editor Stanley
hits between the eyes the class
of people who hunt double-headed
publicity at the expence of the
newspapers.
This same thing, having been
worked upon the Villas County
News so often, we deem it
a mighty good article to publish
for the information of the free
publicity" guys.
The Journal says: "A newspaper
gets so used to complaints from
other fellows that it comes as a
matter of course. A name isn't
just right, a phrase doesn't come
in just to suit; we didn't brag up
the reader as much as he thought
he ought TO have been Dragged:
we didn't get this fellows name
in the paper; or we put so-and-
SOS article somewhere off the
front page. But today we are go
ing to turn the tables and see how
it feels TO be kicker for once.
Some of our friends have the
habit of coming to the office
with an article, to be published
in the paper. Now please fix this
up nicely and give it a good
place. This is on Monday. On
Tuesday, the Advocate comes out
and we find the whole thing all
spread out in the Advocate. You
have worked Scott too. The
chances are we have the offering
set up in type and we run abe
cause before we had caught on to
the situation we had promised to
do so.
IF you are going to give an
article to the Advocate, give it to
them, and if you are going to
give it to the Journal, let us have
it, but don't try to work both
ends to meet in the middle. This
must disgust Mr.. Scott Just as
much as it does us. There are
enough things in a small town
like this that have to be repeated
in the two papers without having
the public work us with dupli-
cations. After repeated experience
we learn to know those who
habitually hot-foot between the
two offices tipping off news
brand new" to each office, but
we can not of course always know.
You can work us both, quite often
if you want to, and we cant help
it, but we want you to know that
we don't like it, just the same.
BE fair with us in this matter.
Choose the paper in which you
want your article to appear, and
you will be courteously received,
but do not work us all."-Shaw-
ano Journal.

WAS SECOND WARMEST
Month of january Showed
Even Temperature and But
Few Zero Mornings-Som
Rain and Snow.

January, 1921, Just passed, has
shown a record second to none in
even temperature. Only once has
that month been passed in sum-
mer weather during the winter
time) and that is claimed to have
been in 1871. (0ld timers will
please dig up their calenders and
verify the statement
But few, if any mornings dur
ing the month showed below zero
weather, or even down to zero.
There was some rain and very
little snow--only one blizzard be-
ing recorded during the month.
That is the one that played havoc
with the highways in certain
places by drifting them badly.
1t has been ideal all winter,
and the prospects for a continual
tion of mild weather during Feb
ruary and March is due rs. ac-
cording to the real wise fellows
who occasionally prophesy as To
weather conditions when they
are good. But when we land
real old tail-winding winter, then
those fellows are sure to tell you
that they knew it and puff
themselves all up over their pre-
dictions which happened to hit
the nail.
Automobiling in northern Wis
consin is ideal right. now, and
with no frost in the ground, high
ways are certain to be splendid
when the spring break comes.

BENEFIT OF SETTLERS
Settler Legislation is the Fea-
ture of the Present Legis-
lature-Bill Now Being
Framed.

Farm and settler legislation,
by which the state will be asked
to assist the tiller of the soil, and
especially the man who takes up
the undeveloped acres of the
state, will form an important part
ofthe legislation during the pre-
sent session ofthe legislature.
Farmer members are far in the
majority over other professions.
Inthe assembly they have almost
half of the membership-l1.
A bill will be introduced by
Polk county. to allow the settler
surcease from mounting tax costs.
He proposes to read into the tax
laws a measure which will enable
the settler a minimum tax assess
ment.
Through his plan, the state
would not increase the tax for
five years to the farmer who
takes up undeveloped land. If in
that time, he has failed to make
good, Mr.. Nelson feels he cannot
ask more from the state. This
sustained level of taxation is be-
ing urged by the northern county
assemblymen as a get-tOgether
ground for those who argue no
taxation for a period of years fol
settlers and those who oppose this
action.

ask for in showing him that
he will amass big returns from
the money spent IN advertising

Another thing, it is proof that
the Villas County Bible, as Ralph
Miller of Washington, ID. c. calls
il, is read and preserved--not
thrown in the junk heap and for

appreciates the courtesy of all its
readers, even if they were too
late for the money. Thanks.

LAND CLEARING MEET
In Session Today at the
Opera House-State Men
Are Giving Valued Infor-
nation.

The land clearing meeting for
farmers, business men and others
interested in the advancement of
Villas county, is in session at the
opera house today, having started
this morning with John Swene-
hart of Bayfield,, who is at the
head of the land clearing depart
ment, as the principal speaker.
The land clearing meet was
brought about through the
efforts of the c. S. Club of farm
women of Villas county, and if
their plans materialize, the land
cleared during 1921 will amount
to hundreds of acres of land that
will begin to produce real money
instead of being a drag upon the
farmer.
Villas county cannot afford to
sit back and see the other north
ern counties clear their lands in
big punches, and under a system
attic campaign-and at a minimum
cost TO the owner.
