use for neatly five years ON a line
within a short distance of Freeport
and recently very thorough test was
made Of it by Professor Moore of the
Department of Engineering Materials
at the University of Illinois. This
test showed that the strength OF the
appliance was greater than had been
claimed for it by it's inventors,
Messrs. S. M. Mulnix and R. O.
Adams, who have tested and expert
mented with it for several years and
have finally brought it to its present
high state Of perfection.
The appliance is so simple and the
expense is so small that it bids fair
Ito rank as one of the best paying in
ventions of modern times. It's use
in the. last few years alone would
have saved line companies many mil
lions of dollars as well as the lives
of many linemen who have been killed
while at work on weak or defective
poles.
The appliance has been patented
and company known as the Ameri-
can Pole Protective Company, has
been formed.

BY MhS. HUH hE1LE1 .-F'.
At a recent meeting of the Fort
nightly Literary club witty and en-
tertaining paper was read by Mrs.
Clara T. Runge,. the author being Mrs,
Hugh Kelley, 784 Chase street, Mil
waukee, a resident of Baraboo but
spending some time in the state me-
tropolis. The witty section pertain
ing to the rubber question follows:
There is another realistic thing
that touches us deeper. 1t is our atti-
tude toward the tropics. read a
book on this subject, too. | was
so stirred up dreamed about the poor
people. If we of the temperate zone
could stay at home on the ''live and
let live plan" the tropics would not
trouble us. Our life is SO arranged by
circumstance we must interfere with
those people whether we want to or
not. One reason is the tropics is
place where we can get certain sup
plies, and we need larger supplies
than the people down there care to
produce. We have built up certain
kind Of civilization that depends on
our getting them. 1t couldn't keep
going without them. These people
have their rights with which we ought
not to interfere. Take rubber, for in

good deal of rubber for various things,

ties, etc. etc. but since we began US
ing autos for business and pleasure
we need much more. Their use is in
creased so that where we build thous-
ands now, later we will build millions.
I will translate this statistical thought
for you into it's human equivalent:
Imagine to yourself Henry Ford out
in DetrOit-a few years not meaning
to make trouble for the tropics and yet
building motors. AS a companion pic
ture visualize hot, tropical valley
inhabitated by young natives, wives,
cousins, uncles and all their other kin.
They are sitting under cOcOnut tree,
drinking the nourish 'ng milk from the
Of rubber at that time was two beeks
a gourdful Two beeks would buy
all they needed and all they had to
do to get the rubber was to tap
tree by the river. AS say, they were
very contented because they were
built that way. What happened? We
all began riding around in AUTOMOBILE
es and wearing out tires and ordering
more from thN dealers. The dealer
wrote TO the jobber and the jobber
telephoned the importers and begged
them to double the output. The i'm
porters raised their prices frightful-
ly to be ON the safe side, and then
cabled their agents in the tropics. The
first thing the young natives knew
they were being paid four beeks a
gourdful why, said the native, 1--WE
will only have to get half as much
rubber now and have just as much
money" and down he sat with
contented sigh. So the agents paid
four beeks' a gourdful and got fewer
gourdfuls.
"Where's that increased production"
the importers began to cable the
agents well pay any price" But
production stood STILL Now those
poor natives never hurt us in any way,
nor had they the slightest desire to
hurt u.s. For that matter we were as
innocent of intent to injure them but
we kept wanting tires, rubber necks,
bottles, etcetera, and urging our deal
ers to get them; so at the other end

Foxes, coyotes, and timber wolves
are reported more plentiful this year
in some of the northern counties than
for years. A prominent citizen of
Minocqua writes to the Conservation
Commission that there is more sport
Ito be had in his section in hunting
these predatory animals than in hunt
ing deer These animals, he declares,
are destroying cartridges and deer in
greater numbers than are human
hunters.
What effect did the mild winter
have on the. migratory life of birds?
Wax wings, chickadees, hairy & downy
woodpeckers, and others have been
here all the time as usual. Mrs. w. r.
Kelsey noted prairie horned lark
but on account of the mild weather
some birds usually seen here during
the winter have not been noted by
observers, as a rule. The absent ones
have been the evening grosbeak, Ameri
can crossbill, white winged crossbill,
and red poll.
Wheat is now worth about 90 per
cent of what it was one year ago and
other commodities follow:
Corn 81 per cent
Oats Sc per cent
Coffee AZ per cent
Sugar 55 per cent
Pork u per cent
Steel II per cent
Lead AZ per cent =
Copper IS per cent
The average is go per cent and cot
ton is only % per cent. The cotton
supply in March 1920 was about $685.
TAI bales and this year practically
the same, 6,521,831 bales 1t will be
seen there is little demand for cot
ton and the cotton grower is almost on
the rocks.
N. w. Morley says he went to Iron
ton to attend the first county examina-
ton for teachers, held by his brother,
the late l. w Morley of Excelsior.
The Excelsior brother was the first
county superintendent of schools, hav-
ing been elected in 1861. Mr.. Morley
recalls that when he went to Ironton,
April z, to attend the examination,
there was a very deep fall of snow.
The questions for the state super
',intendent failed to arrive and the
" county superintendent prepared his
own. Mr.. Morley says several of his
fathers family were teachers, some
Of them teaching under the town
system. The first county superinten-
dent was born on September 2, 1920,
