A BIG SQUASH

The Rhinelander Advancement AS
sociation is feeling proud of big ex-
hibition squash raised near Vinegar.
Its weight is 81 pounds. That is some
squash.
But for Squashes Of extraordinary
development the peculiar quality Of
the soil of RuSk county seems to he
really necessary.
Away back in 1902 an exhibition of
the products of the soil was made IN
the WOrden opera house, afterward
destroyed in the biggest fire which ever
afflicted Ladysmith. At this show a
squash weighing 1874 pounds was OK
hibited by Ludger LaBerge. who
raised it on his farm short distance
northeast of Ladysmith On account
of the difficulty of handling this enOr-
nous vegetable of the genus cucurbita.
it required the united efforts of four
men to carry it up the stairs TO rhe
exhibition hall
SO far as we have ever heard no
squash ever closely approached the
great I.aBcrge squash in weight.

RUSK COUNTY FARM ITEMS
News That Will Interest Our City
Readers as Well as the Tillers
of the Soil

Mr. and Mrs. John Brown and sou,
j. c., came from Riley, Wis, Friday
to look after their land interests here.
They formerly owned 700 acres of land
southeast of the brick yard. but have
sold it down TO 200 acres, getting $40
to 500 per acre for il.
Many Rusk county farmers never
have occasion TO ship IA carload of
stock or produce to market, but they
might be interested i'm knowing what
the freight cost is to Chicago. a
stockbuyer who shipped Il carload of
cattle from LadySmith recently said
the freight amounted to $1G91J. He
said it used to he 500 to $40 Il car.
Mitchell, S. d., paper last week pub
lished the market price of corn at that
point was IL cents per bushel and that
corn is the fuel used TO operate an cleo
trio light plant in one Of the small
towns out in that section. Land is
valued at $50 to $3.50 an acre The
returns from an acre of corn will
hardly pay the interest ON the invest
ment. to say nothing about taxes and
profit.
When money was flush l0anerS told
the borrowers to come in and settle.
Now the borrowers tell the lOaners to
come out TO the farm and get their
money, if they want it. At least we
know of a couple Of instances of the
kind, which suggests that there may
be others, and there probably arc. Ii
seems that people are glad to go and
get any money that may be due them,
in these times. Last week Il borrower
Ca WOman) sent notice to Lady
smith man who held her note, to come
due He informed her that she could
send it or deliver it to the bank here
and get credit. Nothing doing. Sac
wanted to personally see interest Ell
dorsement made on the note He
wanted the money badly enough to 30
and get it.
That reminds us of another incident
of the drawing power OF ready cash,
Just now. A farmerette in the town
Of Atlanta wanted to make payment
on land contract in advance of the
due date and sent word TO the other
party. business man in Ladysmiin.
He went. She delved down in the Gel
lar and brought up a thousand dollars
in currency that was mouldy from the
dampness of its hiding place. The
man was glad to accept the money,
even though it was little damp and
whiskery. No, money isn't going beg

HOW TO HELP the EDITOR

Here are seven homely ways in
which anyone can help the editor.
They we're presented by country
editor on community newspaper day
duriSg Farmers Week at Cornell:
First of all, give him the news; he
wants it. Give it to him, even though
sometimes it does not get in his pa
per. He hasn't time always to tell
You why some piece of news is not
used; but ten to one he has a per-
fectly good and impersonal reason.
Give him the news. even you may
not be especially interested in it,
Some folks never think to give the
editor news except when they are
concerned in it one way or another.
Second, don't give him a piece of
news and tell him you want it printed
just as it is written. There's a right
and a wrong way to do even such
simple thing as writing an article for
a country newspaper. One editor
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1921-12-08

had to leave town because he print
ed every piece of news just as it was
handed in-spelling, punctuation and
all-and printed it with the name of
the person who gave it to him.
Third, don't try to play a joke
through the paper unless you explain
it to the editor. A thing in cold
type looks lot different and sounds
different from a thing repeated by
word Of mouth, when the voice, the
facial expression and a gesture, per-
baps, help to show its meaning.
Fourth, don't worry for fear the
editor is making too much money;
you should want to see him be pros
porous. He can and will give you a
better paper. He will be less likely
to have a compromise with his con-
science over certain kinds of adver-
tising. And, anyhow, he can't make
a big fortune out of his paper; he
will be lucky if he can keep it go

When an army was conquered in
Roman times it was obliged to "pass
under the yoke" as an evidence of
defeat at the hands of the enemy.
This "yoke" was sometimes made by
setting up two spears and putting a
third across the top. Our English
word subjugate derived from Latin
Sub" or under, and "jugum;" or
yoke) thus contains in its compost
ton a spectacular custom from the
military life of the Romans.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1921-12-08

ing.
Fifth, be ready to tell your editor
when something in the paper pleases
you. Once in while you tell your
preacher he has a good sermon; so
tell your editor the same about his
paper.
Sixth, get your "copy" to him ear
ly. Take it to him for the next week
the day after the previous pubica-
ton day if you can. 1t takes time
to set type and make a paper. Did
you ever wonder what the editor
does all the time between publication
days? You would know if you were
country publisher yourself.
Lastly, go in some day when the
paper is being printed. Go in sew
eral times during the day, and you
will have more of realization of
what a job it is to make country
newspaper.

There is a noteworthy revival in
this country of all forms of dane
ing, with the introduction at the
same time of many old world forms
of this graceful and fascinating
art. Never before has the dance
figured so prominently in the thea
ter as at the present time and it is
a splendid augury.
1t is an interesting fact that for
many years the minstrel show was
the chief medium for the dancer in
America; although, to be sure, the
light opera and comic opera stage
has shone respondent with terp-
sichore, as well. But the minstrel
stage has produced and made fa-
nous more dancers than any other
stage form.
