INSPECTING LOANS

F. j. Marquist, Association Ex-
aminer for the Federal Farm Loan
Bureau of Washington, D. c. was
here during the past week inspecting
the farms upon which loans have
been made in this vicinity. Farms
in the Long Lake, Engoe and Four
Mile Creek district w ere visited and
the examiner was well pleaseed with
the way farmers are keeping up
their places and pronounced all loans
as being O. K.
The director was of the opinion
that the value Of the property COW
cred by the loans would increase
each year because of the fact that
the farmers of the district are en-
gaging in dairying on a more ex-
tensive scale.

DERT-REFUNDING BOARD

A commission of which the Sec
retary of the Treasury would be
chairman would have full authority
to fix terms for funding and refund
ing of the foreign debt under pro-
visions of a bill tentatively agreed
to by the House Ways and Means
committee. The measure, Chairman
Fordney said, would be substitute
for the Administrations bill which
would have given the Treasury Sc
crettary authority to arrange for
funding and refunding of the debt.
Exclusive of the Secretary of the
Treasury, the commission which
would be created would have not
more than four members, to be ap-
pointed by the President with the
consent of the Senate. The COM
mission would continue in existence
for three years. One provision of
the substitute bill would prohibit ac-
ceptance of the bonds of one debtor
nation in settlement of obligations of
another government without the
consent of Congress. Sentiment
among House memebers. Chairman
Fordney says, is strongly against
conferring exclusive debt funding
powers on the Treasury Secretary.

GERMAN INDUSTRIAL ii.
ACTIVITIES INCREASED

HI. A. Adams, representative of the
Department of Commerce, cables a
report from Berlin, in which he says
that "the stock exchange is very ac-
tive, and both wholesale and retail
establishments have much business. T"
Mr.. Adams also observes: "A fever
of speculation, which is known to
have been on the increase, combined
with the increase in living costs, was
instrumental in August in causing
savings bank Withdrawals to exceed
deposits by 25O,OOO,OOO marks. The
September official index figures for
the cost of fving show an increase
to 1852 times the pre-war cost. This
index covers food, heat, light, and
rent. Industrial conditions are ia
vorable enough to result in de-
crease in unemployment. In many
industrial increases in wages have
amounted to 10 per cent to 80 per
cent"

THEY ELUDED THEM.

Charley Olson was as mad as a
"wet hem Sunday morning and he
is accusing Alex Gackowski of all
sorts of things, the principal thing
however being conspiracy with a
newly married couple to escape a
,charivari party. Mr.. and Mrs. Jud
Leighton were expected to return
from their wedding trip last Satur-
day night on the 10:30 train, and
Charley incidentally noised this re-
port among his fellow employees at
the box factory and the boys began
getting together all sorts of noise
making contraptions, bend on giving
the bride and groom a royal recep-
ton on their return.
Mr.. Leighton had expected just
this sort of party on his return
and before leaving had made ar
rangements with Alex Gackowski to
meet him at Ashland Junction. Alex
was down town Saturday night pass
ing the time away and Charley Oh
son did his utmost to find out if
Alex was really going to the Junction
At about nine o'clock Alex got in
his car and started in the direction
of his home and Charley started his
auto going and followed, in order
to make sure that Alex was not in
on any attempt to spoil the party.
When within a block of the Gackow-
ski residence Charley decided that
Alex really was going home, and he
returned down to town to get the
boys ready for the party which was
to take place when the train arrived
here.
I Alex politely turned his car
around after reaching home and made
for Ashland Junction, loading Mr..
and Mrs. Leighton into his car, and
returned to his home in this city.
He then came down town and was
present when the "Scoot" reached
Washburn, and to see the dissppolnt.
ed look on the faces of those who
made. up the charivari party.
Charley Olson thought something
was wrong and proceeded to the
Gackowski residence, asked if the
bridal party was there, and being in
formed that they were not, was in
vited in to partake of cup of
coffee.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leighton were at the
Gackowski residence at the time but
Charley Olson did not know this, and
now that he has learned that he was
duped he is threatening all sorts of
jokes to be played on his eluders.

MAY KEEP ROADS OPEN

MADISON, Wis.-The mainten-
ance division OF the Wisconsin High
way Commission is sending out no.
tees urging that local communities
that are interested in keeping GER
tain highways free from snow and
open for traffic during the coming
winter shall petition the county
board for the same in order that the
county board can provide the neces-
sary funds and the necessary equip
ment to do the work required. If
this matter is not called to the at
tention of the county board Guiing
their annual county board meetings
in November, 1921, says the Com
mission, petitions requesting the
Highway Commission to force the
counties to keep certain roads open
do not give the county fair show to
begin such work at time when the
best results can be obtained. Neither
does it permit the county to make
the necessary appropriations or pro-
vide the necessary equipment. The
Commissission, therefore, suggests
that the matter before the county
board at their annual meeting.

CANCER KILLS
MANY PEOPLE
Total of Thirty Three Die Each
Week From Dread Disease
In Wisconsin.

Twenty-three hIndred deaths from
cancer will be recdfaed in Wiscon-
sin during 1921, according to an es-
innate made by the state board OF
health. "This MEANS" says state
ment of the board, "that large
number of useful citizens will be
removed from our midst by a malady
which is primarily curable.
"Cancer of the stomach and liver
will be charged with approximately
one-half of the deaths recorded dur
ing this PERIOD" continues the state
of the board. Moreover, males
and females will be equally affected.
An additional one-fourth of the
deaths will occur amonr women, the
disease attacking the breast and
generative organs.
"Stated in another way, while IL
women die each week in Wisconsin
of cancer fthe stomach and liver,
IL additional women die of cancer OF
the breast and generative organs dur
ing the same short period"
In order to emphasize the enor-
NOUS toll exacted by cancer, the
statistician of the board has express
ed the mortality in terms of one
week. Thus, one Wisconsin citi-
zen dies of cancer of the mouth
each week, one of the skin, six OF
the intestines, eleven of the female
breast and generative organs,
TWENTY-FIVE of the stomach and liver
and three of other organs, total
of forty-four each week.
"Although this record is a start
ling one," continues the statement,
"it is fairly representative Of condi-
tions throughout the United States.
However, a careful study shows that
the death rates from cancer in Wis
consin have been increasing during
the past few years therein exceed
ing similar combined rates for the
remainder of the country.
"How may this truly alarming con-
dition be relieved?" Definite
knowledge of the early manifesto
tions of cancer, early diagnosis and
early and skilled treatment will GER
tainly prevent needless suffering and
save thousands Of lives. An earnest
effort is now being made" says the
board in conclusion, ito prevent the
facts concerning the prevention and
cure of cancer in such way that
every citizen may possess accurate
knowledge. A pamphlet entitled
Cancer Facts Every Adult Should
Know" Containing authoritative in
form alton, will be sent free upon re
quest of the State Board of Health
Madison"

0. A. IAMOREAUx
DEAD AZ DULUTH
PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY
TUESDAY NIGHT
Death Comes Quickly From Apo
plexy. Vas Sitting in Chair
At His K0me When Suddenly
Stricken.


o. A. Lamoreaux, one ftthe or
ganizers of the Kenfeld Lamoreaux
company, and for many years a
resident of this city, died suddenly
at his home at Duluth on Tuesday
evening at 1870 o'clock, death hav-
ing been caused by apoplexy. News
of Mr.. Lamoreaux's death reached
this city early Wednesday morning
and was a great shock to his many
friends and acquaintance in this
city.
According to advices Mr.. Lam
oreaux was apparently well until
a short time before he was stricken.
Following hearty supper he sat
around the house reading until
about ten o'clock when he retired
for the night, but after going to bed
apparently did not feel well and
arose again and was sitting in a
chair when stricken. He died with
in few minutes. Mr.. Lamoreaux
had apparently been in his usual
good health and never complained of
sickness.
The funeral will be held on FRI
day afternoon at 2 P. M. from Craw-
ford's Undertaking Parlors, End
Avenue and End Street, Duluth, and
interment will be at Duluth.
o. A. Lamoreaux was born at
Lansing, Minn., in 1859, and was 81
years of age at the time of death.
In the year 1896 he came to Wash
burn and for a time was connected
with the Sprague interests. In the
year 1893 he formed partnership with
Mr.. E. E. Kenfeld, former Washburn
resident, now Residing at Bemidji,
Minn., and the box and Grating fac
tory was opened on the present site
of the Kenfeld- -Lamoreaux company.
Due to hard work and careful busi-
ness this firm has steadily grown un-
til today it is one of the largest box
and Grating factories in the United
States. For many years the busi-
ness was under the personal direc-
ton of Messrs. Lamoreaux and
Kenfeld. Some years ago Mr..
Lamoreaux moved to Duluth where
he has since eresided.
o. A. Lamoreaux was one of those
big-hearted fellows that it was a
pleasure to know, ever happy and
jovial, and many are the people that
have been lent a helping hand from
him when they needle assistance.
He was a sportsman that enjoyed the
great, wide open woods, that loved
to hunt for the sport of hunting,
and he always added life to any
hunting party of which he was a
member. He will be missed among
those who knew him best, for he
was good friend to have.
To his family and other relatives
goes out the sympathy of his many
friends in their bereavement.

MORE ORDERS
FOR k-L PLANT
ADDITIONAL MEN GIVEN
EMPLOYMENT
Box and Grating Factory Now
Operating on 75% Basis and
Indications Are That Business
Will Increase.

PlantManager Alex Gackowski OF
the Kenfield- -Lamoreaux company re-
ceived advises on Tuesday evening
of this week. from the company head
quarters to the effect that orders
were on the way for increased busi-
ness and that additional men would
have to be employed. On "sdnes-
day morning an additional crew Of
men were given employment and the
factory is now operating 0 ma 1870
basis.
The indications are that within a
very short time the ompany plant
in this city will be operating at full
capacity, and it is altogether likely
that capacity production will be
maintained during the winter months.
The starting Of this plant on in
creased production means much tc
Washburn, for it helps in measure
to take up much of the labor which
has been idle, and the effect will
be felt in the business section of the
city.
The Kenfeld- -Lamoreaux plant in
this city was closed down. for num-
Der of months during the summer,
and it was only recently that the
plant was started up. With busi-
ness throughout the country begin
ming to revive it is expected that the
plant will soon be operating to capa-
city.
