OUT WHERE THE WEST BEGINS

Out where the handclasp's little stronger,
Out where The smile swels a little longer,
That's where the West begins;
, Out where the sun is little brighter,
Where the SHOWS that fall are trihe
whittier,
Where the bonds of home are wee bit
tighter,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are a trihe bluer,
Out where the friendships little truer,
That's where the West begins;
Out where fresher breeze is blowing
Where there's laughter in every streamlet
flowing,
Where there's more of reaping and less of
sowing,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world is in the making,
Where fewer hearts with despair are
aching,
That's where the West begins
Where there's more of signing and less of
signing,
Where there's more of giving and less of
buying,
And man makes friends without half
trying,
That's where the West begins.

THE CITY GIRL

She came up from the city
With her pretty airs and graces
Her gloves were made in Paris
And in Germany her laces.
Her soul was made in Heaven
And don't think I'm to blame
If the old homestead since she went
away,
Has never seemed the same
| used to think of nothing else
But how the wheat was growing
And if the sky showed signs of rain
Or how the wind was blowing
But now it seems that all these things
Are scarcely worth a rap
For her footsteps have left the field
Things please me not scrap.
I wish could explain it
1t doesn't seem quite fair
That all the sweetness should die out
Because one girls not there.
The morning sun shines just as bright
On fields of yellow corn
But / miss the brightness of her smile
The old place seems forlorn.
I've been a long time doubling
/ think I'll try today
Faint heart ne'er won fair lady"
I've often heard her say
Pm not much at writing
But perhaps she'll understand my
claim
That while she's gone my heart and
home
Will never be the same.

A Brief History of the Ice Cream
Industry

It is stated that Alexander the
Great was very fond of iced beverages.
At the courts of France and Italy IN
early times, wines and fruit juices
were cooled with ice and served. 1t
is reported that Marco Polo brought
recipes for water, ice and milk ice
from Japan in the thirteenth century.
Charles the First of England was
served with ice at a banquet, the ice
being made by a French cook, named
de Mireo. and the King was so pleas
ed with the dish that he pensioned
the cook with twenty pounds year
on the condition that he would not
make ice for anyone else. As time
went on. others among our forefathers
began the freezing of wines and fruit
juices and then of milk and cream.
Ice cream is said to have been first
introduced in the city of Washington
by Mrs. Alexander Hamilton at din
ner attended by George Washington.
The first ice cream advertisement on
record is one that appeared in the
POST Boy of New York City, Janu-
airy 8, 1886, at which time ice cream
sold readily at one dollar per quart.
So far as known, Jacob RUSSELL, a
milk dealer in Baltimore, Md. was
the first man to enter into the whole
sale ice cream business. He took 1t
up early in the nineteenth century, IN
order to utilize his surplus cream.
In about the year 1890, the ice
cream business commenced to make
rapid strides and it has grown con-
tinuously since that time, until today
over two hundred million gallons Of
ice cream are consumed annually.
Ice cream as a food is being recog-
nized more and more for its nutri-
tious value. Food is any substance
taken into and used in the body for
the purpose of building new tissues
and repairing the old and for supply
ing the body with heat and energy.
The best foods are those which pro-
duce the best physiological results

900, 000th tire. This record was es-
tablished in % years of business, but
10 10000 of these tires were made
in the last five years, during which
the greatest increase in car registra-
ton has occurred. The average per-
son has no idea of how great this to-
tai is. Admitting that each tire was
run 5000 miles before wearing out
a very low average-it would take an
automobile 1,360,464 years to travel
a distance equal to the $4,000, 000,0 900
miles delivered by these 39,000,000
tires, provided that the car ran con-
tinuously $50 miles day. Based on
the low average of 5000 miles to each
tire, the total mileage delivered would
equal distance equivalent to 100000

enough tires to more than equip every

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET

Edgerton, Wisconsin, July %, 1921.
The tobacco fields have been thru
season of hot weather which has
tested the ability of the weed to hold
out against adversely. The crop has
stood it remarkably well, better than
any other crop grown in this territory
except the corn crop which, as is the
case with the tobacco, has a chance
of giving satisfactory yield, if the
drought is broken sufficient amount
OF moisture comes to dissolve plant
food IN the soil to push the growth of
the leaf, and moderate heat from now
on attend the season.
The earliest fields are in bloom;
more hot and dry weather during the
next two weeks is going to act adver-
sely TO leafness Of the crop, and will
IN all events make it light weight. If,
on the other hand, moisture material
ize, there is time for the leaf to take
on spread.
Fields of later planting have made
only slight progress during the last
week, and the stand is somewhat I'M
even. This tobacco has plenty of time
under favorable weather conditions
from now on to take on size before
harvest. Nearly all fields throughout
the Wisconsin territory have a re-
rlarkable wholesome and attractive
color.
Some growers are complaining of
the work of the tobacco worm in GER
tain fields. From the best informa-
ton received the danger from this
pest is not universal by any means,
and the losses due to the tobacco
worm even in fields where it has APP
peared are not, as yet, serious.
Packers who have done some samp-
ling of their 1920 tobacco have found
that it has come through the sweat in
good shape, and they are in position TO
offer the trade some very attractive
leaf of this vintage. The crop is lin
tied in amount of large binders, as is
well known. This end of the 1920
crop was bought at fancy prices, and
the packer who can show choice lots
of fancy binders is entitled to the
best price the market can offer. Move
ment of leaf from first hand offers
no news of material interest
Shipments of last week. cars of
cases and 6 cars of bundles, going out.
