Mine Thousand Idle Acres
Turned Into Improved Farms"
is to be the slogan of Bayfield,
county for the year 1921. Do
you realize what this means in
dollars and cents to the county
as a whole? The difference in
the value of an improved acre of
land over wild acre of land is
estimated at abut $500 which
multiplied by 5000 means that
the wealth of the county will be
increased 695,000 in a single
season. But that is not all.

whether the owner of the convey

On InurSoay evening, January
18th, the Powder line force and their
families gathered at the Y. M. C. A.
to celebrate the completion of full
year ending Dec. oath 1920 without
major injury. During the year
an average of &C men were employ
ed and throughout this whole period
not a single hour was lost due to
an injury; a record that all can be
proud of.
The manufacture of dynamite is
considered a hazardous occupation,
but with the right spirit of Safety
First and the close cooperation of the
men it clearly demonstrates that ac-
cidents in this operation can be
avoided.
The Powder Line force is we'll or
ganized to guard against any un-
safe conditions, and the spirit of
Safety First which these men have,
was evidenced by the large attend
ance at the celebration. Approx
mately IT'S were present.
The entertainment started prompt
ly at 7:3O P M. with the showing of
seven reels of good lively comedy;
which was greatly enjoyed by the
older folks as we'll as the children.
Westerlundis orchestra furnished
the music and kept the audience spell
bound with their jazzy selections.
Immediately after the show, every
one retired to the auditorium up
stairs where sumptuous lunch, was
served, during which the orchestra
again came to the front and made
things lively. Mr.. Slime, Powder
Supt., acting as POSTMASTER called
upon Mr.. Knotts, the Safety En-
gineer, who responded with very
interesting talk on the subject Of
Safety. Mr.. Beers was next called
upon and gave a short talk on the
subject of Safety from the Man
ayers Standpoint, after which
cigars were passed to the men and
ice cream to- the ladies and children.
Dancing was the next feature of
the evening which was enjoyed by
old and youn galike, only old times
dances being allowed. Perhaps the
main event of this feature was the
"Buck and Wing" dance by Dun
can Arseneau, who was again and
again called upon to preform this
difficult feat and to express the un-
animous opinion of the crowd, it
should be said "Dunk sure can shake
mean hoof when it comes to the
clog dance"
During the evening candy was
distributed to the children and ice
cream was on hand as a ready re-
freshment for the dancers.
Dancing was indulged in until
midnight and everyone voted they
had a jolly good time, and would do
all in their power to continue the
/ Safety record indefinitely.
1t might be added that the en-
tire plant of the du Pont company at
Barksdale has gone for a period of
eight and one-half months without
a single major accident, which means
that no man epplt Jed at the plant
has been compelled to leave his work
for more than one half day as the re-
suit of injury. 1t is record to be
proud of and certainly one that is
appreciated by the du Pont company.
1t speaks well for the Safety Divi-
sion at Barksdale and the coSopera-
ton of the workmen. Go to- it boys
and make it years record.

that one of the editors, seeing the

SAVINGS DEPOS!7ORs
HAVE R!!L|QN PROFIT
Commodities Decrease Thirty
Per Cent in Value
During Year
PRICES ARE STABILIZED
Reports to Comptroller of Currency
Show Two to Three Billions
Savings

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 30
Approximately 1,000,000,000 in
profits has piled up in the last 10
months for possessors of deposits in
savings banks, owners of government
thrift and war stamps and of other
securities easily convertible into cash.
This profit now is waiting collec-
ton by it's thousands of owners in adj
dition to more than $4,000, 1000
worth of interest at 4 per cent. 1t
is, as yet, mainly paper profit, but
is sure and certain and results from
the general decrease of approxi-
mately 80 per cent in the value of
nearly all commodities during the
past year.
Prices Stabilized.
Depositors in savings banks now
have between two and, three billion
dollars to their credit, according to
estimates based on reports to the Of
fee of the comptroller of the cur
rency. Those who wish to draw their
cash and take their profit now can
buy many stocks, bonds, industrial
securities and other commodities and
securities at far less than year ago.
Prices generally now have practically
reached stabilized level, most gov
eminent officials believe, unless the
nationwide economic depression is
to cut still deeper than it has. But
with business on the road to a boom,
prices are likely to advance.
In 81 big cities the general level
of food prices has declined more than
80 per cent in the year. the reports
to the labor department show.
Clothing, farm products and other
commodities have declined in pro-
portion. The decline has been ap-
proXimately three per cent month.
But in June the drop was less than
one per cent. This indicates, Off
Gals say, the bottom level of the
price curve probably has been
reached. 8F
Prices now are between As and so
per cent above those of 1913, with
the exception of building materials.
The following table shows the de-
cline in food prices during the year
in some of the nations biggest and
most important cities:
Thirty-nine per cent: Butte, and
Portland, Oregon.
Thirty-seven per cent: Salt Lake
City and Seattle.
Thirty-one pre- cent: San Fran
cisco.
Thirty per cent: Los Angeles.

THOMPSON-SMITH
COMPANY ABSORBS
RIVAL STAGE LINE
Will Establish Half-HOurIy Service
Between Olympia and Tacoma
Using Eleven Cars

The Grays Harbor Stage Company
and the Thompson & Smith Stage
Company have purchased the operat-
ing rights and the Olympia terminals
of the Olympia Tacoma Stage Com
pany running from the Central Bus
station here. The Thompson &
Smith Company has taken over the
Offices formerly occupied by the state
travelling library in the Martin build
ing and are remodeling them into an
office and waiting room. Beginning
Monday the consolidated lines will
operate as one concern from the new
station on half hourly schedule to
and from Tacoma.
1t requires eleven stages for this
maintenance of double service.
Heretofore the Thompson & Smith
company has been operating but
seven stages. The White stages used
by the Tacoma Olympia company will
not be included in the deal it is I'M
derstood, but the four new stages
purchased for the Grays Harbor run,
which was ruled out by order of the
department of public works a few
weeks ago, will be used on the new
service
Operate First Modern Stages.
Thompson & Smith started operat-
ing the stage line between Olympia
and Tacoma on July 8, 1920, with
the first modern stages used here.
The company is also operating six
stages similar to the stages on the
local run, between Everett and Mt.
Vernon. The company was also in
terested in the Grays Harbor Stage
Company of which Adolph Schmidt
of Olympia is president.
The Grays Harbor Stage Company
was ruled off the run between Olym-
pia and Aberdeen by the department
of public works because the original
stage line operating between those
two points had been operating in
good faith on and since January Is
and therefore held the prior right to
certificate Of necessity and convent
ence provided in the automobile reg
ulation act passed last winter.
