he told the Schmidt woman to put up
a bond $25 in cash. She complied and
was released to be in court this morn
ing. With the Milwaukee woman were
Edward Carver, Raymond Kendle and
Angelina Hapka, all of Milwaukee.

! the dead girl was taken the Hansen

called that she had suffered a frac-
lred skull and a broken thigh. Mrs.

ospital. At first it was believed that
he was fatally injured but she has
allied we'll and unless unforeseen de-
elopments take place, she will recover.

pparently has no internal injuries.

Those who saw the accident declare
hat Lena Russo, carrying the baby
nd accompanied by Mrs. Chiappetta
topped from in front of a south bound
rain to the other track, apparently
leither hearing nor seeing the other
ar approaching. When in last fran
ic moment she saw the train almost
lpon her she huddled the baby to her

LANCER to herself. When the car

Mrs. Chiappetta was struck glancing
blow and was hurled into the center
of the other track.

ing along the tracks, as there is no
crossing near the place where the ac-
cident occurred. Mrs. Chiappetta is
well known among the Italian resi-
dents of Kenosha. The child, which
was killed had lived in Kenosha for
many years and has many friends here
to lament her untimely death.

To The "OId Timers .

Gather round you old-timters" of Hobrook, you fe- lows who pride yourselves your memory, and answer
 question two. How long sine you went to the store and asked for bottle of Godfreys General Cordial or 'Dr. Radcliffes Tincture for Tootache, or "Genune Haarem Oil" or ''LeVine's Eye Water" or "Bloom of Circassia, ''Long Life Bitters." Quite few years we dare say And yet there many in this neghbor- hood to whom those sound familiar, and who recall that back several years when they were in the bloom of youth those remedies were household words.
 But you can't find them At least you don't hear people calling for them and doubt if there is in all this section that could dig up than possibly two of the several named if there should be call for it. Not that they no longer considered good remedies they doubtless just good they ever were. But there is call for them.
 And the answer is right here in these few words you don't hear them called for because you don't them advertised As long they advertised they and they sold by the thousands of bottles Today few people know anything about them and when they waft medicine that will answer the same purpose the old onethey go in and buy something they advertised All of which only proves that the things which the public advertised the things the public buys. You can't get away from this argument. And you can't offer any better proof that advertising pays than to try to buy something that isn't advertised

freight raes the West Coast Association has never fixed

freight rates, the West Coast Association has fixed prices.
 On top of all those handicaps the lumber and timber products must compete with steel, clay, paper rubber copper asbestos stone and products in all lines of building and structural work and there is possibility of forming trust to control lumber prices
 Due to conditions lumber prices in 1920 were 300 per cent higher than in 195 but from 1913 to 1915 the industry was staggering under depression that was runous and for 27 months this period 50 per cent of the sawms of the northwest idle for lack of mar kets and lumber sold far below cost of production.
 The Federal Trade Commission ignores all those facts in it's report to Congress and it's anxiety to make
 showing to justify it's continuation the payrolIs and fails to state any facts that enter into operating costs the production of lumber.
 The industry paid common labor S1OO in 1915 and $52O in 1920 Labor is 50 per cent of manufacturing costs 1t also fails to show that with all the high prices of l95O due to high manufacturing costs and lack of transportation the Northwest industry earned but 67 per cent on it's investment The trade Commission re- port states that present prices than double 1915 prices This is not true The present average sales price or lumber at the mill is but 62 per cent higher than in 1912 and is being produced loss of from $5 to S7 thousand.

NAVAJO COUNTY FAIR
 WILL BE HELD THIS
 FALL AT SNOWFLAKE

The Navajo County Fair association has received word that the state has "come through" with it's appropriation for a fair here this fall. Now the county is supposed to appropriate similar amount, which will make a nice little sum to start the ball a-roll- iEg. Owing to the hard times, it was thought the fair would not be a go this year and the proposition was about given up when the state made it's appropriation. The time of hold ing the entertainment will probably be later than heretofore, as crops are more backward than for many years, but there will be more time for prep aration.
 The new officers of the Fair associa- tion are: Marion L. Flake, president; Frank Campbell, vice president; Frank J. Willis, member; s. L. Fish, secre- tary-treasuTer.
 Even if times are "corky" there is no reason why we could not have a better fair than any of the previous ones, and we can do so if everyone will start in now and boost.-Snow- flake Herald.

Swan Song Of Bureaucracy.

Slated to be abolished by constructive policies of Herbert Hoover of the Department of Commerce. the Federal Trade Commission makes final bid for it's istence by attack what it terms the Pacific Coast Lumber Trust.
 The West Coast Lumbermans Association is the one organization that makes public weekly and daily the facts of production, shipments orders for future delivery prices operating costs and all the underlying facts of the vests greatest employing industry.
 These statements are sent to all managers of saw mills and logging camps, to all wholesale and retail dea- lers and to the newspapers generally well as to n- terested government departments and the Trade Com mission calls these the methods of trust reduce pro duction.
 This Trade Commission for the past eight years has pursued destructive methods towards western industries and has never conducted investigation that worth penny to the but alwaysa detriment to employment of labor or investment of capital
 It now claims that by merely giving out all the in- formation possible the umbermen violating the fair trade statute and their position is that of business should go bindfoded and sell his product without advice of collective economic conditions about the industry
 For generations the Department of Agriculture has supplied farmers, fruit growers and live stock men with exactly the same character of information about their products that complied by the West Coast Lubermens organization and exactly for the purpose.
 The more or less socialistc Federal Trade Commss- ion, backed by Clifford Pinchot making this fight as preliminary to what they call naturalization of the um Der industry logging operations and forestry in general and all know what that would mean.
 It would mean substituting army of redtape of flcals holding jobs for fe impractical vsonares and theoretical highbrows with college diplomas, conducting an industry that can only be handled by those who have gained their experience in the hard knocks school
