ROAD WORK ENDED
Hoose and Hicks Have Stopped Work
on Route 90 For Balance OF
Year

Work on Route No. 90 has been
suspended for the winter The en-
gineers are leaving as rapidly as
they get their work closed up. Sam
Tolzley was the first to leave. He
went TO Crystal Falls last Wednes-
day to take position with the Nc
Kinney Steel Co. with which concern
he was working when he stopped TO
go with the State Highway Depart
ment. Mr.. Mclean has not gone yet
but expects TO leave soon. Just where
he will go is not known as yet. There
was a rumor at Alpha that o. b..
johnson was TO come to Iron county
on Jan / TO take charge OF state
work In Iron and adjoining counties.
There is about months work left
to be done OF Route 50 to complete
the contract to the county line. There
Is small piece OF grading north Of
the Nett to complete and also lot
OF head walls to be put In. The grade
will not be negotiable next year with
any satisfaction as no grayeling will
be done on 1t, at least that is the pres
ent outlook. Engineer larson Is trying
hard to get gravel spread up as far
as the road from Triangle Ranch
bat SO far he has not succeeded in
getting any satisfaction.

says that the eight miles in Baraga

The Pickands-Mather mines at
Amasa will install electric pumps. In
fact work has already commenced at
the Warner on getting ready for new
pump to be put in on the 9th, or new

One of the big handicaps OF the
mines about Amasa has been the
lack OF cheap electric current. This IS

GREEN'S FORK VOTES
TO BUY Fertilizer

GREEN'S FORK, March 19.-Decis,
ion to buy fertilizer through the Fed
Grated Marketing Service, confirma
ton of orders already given. and ar
rangements for sending in the order
for the low nship and for handling the
fertilizer, were the accomplishment
of the meeting of the Clay township
farmers association here Friday night
Price quotations were read, as was
the letter of the county fertilizer com
mittee recommending that purchases
be through the Federated Marketing
Service, and from companies which
had submitted bids through that serv-
ice. The action taken was in accord
ance with this letter. As orders Civ
en- before were subject to confirma-
ton after prices had been quoted
those who were present confirmed
and Theodore Davis with the assist
ance of Martin Nicholson, was ap-
pointed to handle the order for the
township. the elevator being unable TO
do so, as was at first arranged.
Asked for information as to analyses
best suited to local requirements, the
county agent stated that Wayne soil
as a rule contains an abundance of all
elements except nitrogen and phos-
phorus. having enough potassium for
all crops. The latter element is there
fore a needless and extravagant in.
clusion in fertilizer analyses for the
usual Wayne soils. Experiment sta
tons recommend the use of phosphate
fertilizers.

SHRINE CLUB FAVORS
CLUBHOUSE ERECTION

Fem Fem club members voted unan
imously in favor of erecting a patrol
club house at meeting held in the
K. of P. building Friday night Sheif
Duffin said Saturday that he would
appoint at once a committee to secure
a site. Definite plans are lacking at
present.
THE purpose of the club house,
said Sheik Duffin, lis to provide a
place for the club patrol team In
which it can drill and where the en-
tire club can meet for business and
social occasions"
So far as is known now. 1t Is be
ieyed that the building will be o!
but one story and will provide ample
space for a reception room, dance
hall, club meeting room, drill hall and
cafeteria arrangements for dinners OF
light refreshments. Sheik Duffin be
lieves the building of such structure
will be but the start of a brilliant fu
ture for the club.
Since the organization of this club
Of Shriners last August there have

ial to be held in indianapolis April

FARMERS APPROVE
PROPOSED EMBARGO
ON IMPORTED FOODS

Approvals OF the proposed embargo
on importations Of farm products
which compete with domestic products,
was voiced by local farmers when
asked their standing on the action
asked Of President Harding by west
ern senators and Representatives.
We especially need a tariff on
wool" said Theodore Davis, president
OF the Wayne county farm bureau
Australian wool is being dumped on
us now through New York, and many
OF our low prices are due to competi-
ton OF domestic products with foreign
importations." Chinese eggs might
have an embargo or a high tariff also. -
Il think all the farmers around here
would be in favor OF an embargo On
imports" said r. E. Morrow, president
OF the Wayne township farmers as
ISOLATION. Il do not believe there is
any question of their approval"
1T is question in my mind" said
another farmer near Greens Fork
whether the foreign countries might
not retaliate by excluding our pro-
ducts. l do not know what their
situation is. nor how our market with
! them it, but I think we should con-
slider that possibility also"
TrouuctS on winch an embargo was
asked are wool, butter, hides, all
keenly affected by foreign competition,
and cotton seed oil, long staple cotton,
| and lemons.
| Announcement was made late Friday
after a cabinet meeting on this sub
ject, that the administration would
! take some steps officially to relieve the
situation An emergency relief mea,
sure is favored however, rather than
an embargo.

WAYNE TOWNSHIP FARMERS TO FORM
COOPERATIVE ELEVATOR ASSOCIATION

mer is satisfied simply to be on the in.
side, without subscribing any more
than he has to, or any beyond his
first subscription. Then when the
hard times come, there Is not enough
capital to tide the company over, as
sistance is asked, not given, and the
company goes on the rocks"
Warns Against Competition.
Another warning was given against
trying to compete with other privately
owned companies Usually at the
first, the farmer cannot realize that
the cooperative elevator is doing him
any good unless he gets a higher
price at the wagon box than the other
elevators will give. These other ele.
vators usually are compelled to give
more than they have before, but few
farmers give the credit for that raise
to the cooperative elevator. The ele
vator at Wolcott saved the farmers two
cents a bushel during the first three
years by making Wolcott prices thai
much higher than at any other station
near.
This amounted to $4,000, paid tc
the farmers, which they would mo-
have had if the cooperative elevator
had not been there. But aside from
higher prices. if the prices at the co
operative elevator are as low. or low
err than at other elevators, the mar

will get more in the end, because al
the profits the elevator makes on hi:
business will be related to him at the
end of the year. Therefore it is pos
sible and wise for the cooperative ele
vator to charge a safe margin on the
