piter, Saturn and Mercury are in a
mildly beneflc aspect early in the
morning, Uranus dominates In evil
power.
| The position of Jupiter and Saturn
seems to indicate that labor prop

Women should be exceedingly
diligent and circumspect at this
time. for they will find that they
| meet with more than usual opposI-
tion in business affairs.
Uranus Is in a place supposed to
arouse the ambitions of women who
covet power and money. They wis
practice duplicity and cause anxiety
in all ranks of political life.
Many sudden deaths will mark
the next few months. and persons

TAXI USERS NOW
WANT FINE CARS
Old-Fashioned, Obsolete Autos
Fail to Attract Public.

With the growth and development of
the motor taxicab and transfer business
there has come a decided advance in the
demands Of the public. The old days
when fare" was satisfied with any
thing that could chug and sputter its
way along the streets regardless Of the
external appearance or internal cleanli-
ness Of the machine long since have
passed. Nowadays the public demands
clean, smooth running, thoroughly de-
pendable machines and competent, trust
worthy drivers who are courteous in
their treatment of passengers.
THE public knows exactly what 1t
wants in this line" said Mike Maroney,
president Of the Yellow Cab Company Of
this city, "and any company that ex-
poets to stay in business must meet these
demands Our equipment of twenty
eight automobiles costing $1,000 each and
necessitating a force of sixty one men to
operate them are In marked contrast to
the Junk equipment In common use
a few years ago.
Personally 1 consider the ordinance
recently passed by the city council max
ing 1t compulsory for taxicabs to carry
taximeters a great blessing to the travel
ing public 1t affords absolute protec-
tien against overcharges and does away
with all the disagreeable arguments that
formerly were such an annoying part OF
the business. For the last four years.
long before the present ordinance went
into effect. we equipped our machines
with taximeters and they have been so
equipped ever since. One of the inter
esting features Of the business Is the
increasing use Of taxicabs for business
purposes. 1t seems business firms are
realizing the additional cost of hurry
up transportation is more than Offset by
its advantages in time saved over the
slower methods of transportation. where
business matters Of real importance are
concerned"

BUY FURS NOW,
EXPERT ADVISES
Scarcity of Animals and Dis
gust of Trappers Results
in Shortage.

Trappers throughout the fur country,
during the past year, are turning in
fewer skins than for years back, accord
ing to reports received by furriers. With
a trapping season far below normal there
is every chance Of a shortage of furs be-
fore the winter is over. according to NJ. j.
Davidson of the Indiana Fur Company.
"As ! see 1t there is almost certain to
be an advance Of % per cent or more
in the price Of furs as soon as cold
weather sets in" Mr. Davidson said.
with cold weather invariably comes a
rush Of business caused by the buying
public all making up its mind to buy
furs at the same time. Coupled with the
fact that the trapping season promises
to be a Hight one because OF the low
prices paid last year for skins, is the fact
that some Of the most popular skins are
becoming scarcer year by year. Even
the skunk is not as plentiful as a few
years back. This skin has been in great
demand for making collars and cuffs and
seems TO be disappearing rapidly.
The same can be said Of the beaver
and muskrat. OF late years the muskrat
has been sought for his Hudson seal tur'

labor upon It.

to be that that f,lrs will decrease in price
as the year advances. | feel sure that,
owing to the conditions l have enum-

whether the cash and small pront
principle is good for the merchant may
be imagined from the fact that Is the
last forty two years the company paid
dividends every year but one.
Oliver c. Fuller, president Of the First
Wisconsin National Bank. the largest
financial institution Of the State, paid
this tribute to William steinmeyer Com
pany:
Their principles are correct and they
cling TO them. They treat everybody
alike. My relations with them are fairly
close. yet any goods purchased by my
wife must be paid cash on delivery. She
pays or the goods go back They keep
costs down to a minimum in all the oper-
ations of their business and always have
done So"
Mr.. Fuller was asked for an estimate
of the saving OF tRe no credit-no book
keeping system. He said he was not
in position 20 do so.
Generally speaking there has been an
increase in manufacturing activity and
an Increase in the efficiency Of labor
There is possibility of improvement in
building lines.
FAIR PROPORTION OF
REASONABLE LABOR.
Milwaukee Is blessed with a pretty fair
proportion of Reasonable labor. There is
a housing shortage. Public spirited citi-
ems have Joined with the Association Of
Commerce in a project for the building of
homes at the lowest possible cost. Archi-
tects and others are giving their services
without charge. An amount of study has
been given to this enterprise by the best
minds Of the city that speaks well for
Milwaukee. Bankers, manufacturers and
others have Joined heartily in this under
taking and 1t looks promising. II it
goes through workers will be enabled
to acquire well built, pretty little homes
for less, over a period Of years, than they
would pay in rent.
There also is a fine project well ad-
vanced for coming the city. As matter
of fact Milwaukee needs coming les than
many other cities, but it doesn't think
so and the new coming simply will add
10 it's already orderly and well arranged
housing. The coming in view has par
ticular regard for the districts just be-
yond the municipal lines. There is a
great deal of Milwaukee that is just out
side the corporate limits.
Wholesale and retail merchants report
a good volume of business. As In other
cities purchases are up to last year In
quantity, but lower in money total.
From the appearance of Grand avenue no
one would suppose there was depression
of any kind hereabouts. The State Fair
drew q tremendous crowd to the city
last week and the hotels were so over
crowded that many Of the visitors had
to seek quarters elsewhere. Except on

INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF MEN ION THE ROAD"
There is a pronounced increase in the
number Of statesmen ION the road" In
the Phster Hotel most of the rooms
seem to be occupied by statesmen who
have their goods on display.
Outside of Milwaukee it is much the
same as in the city. Summarizing con-
ditions throughout Wisconsin G. d. Kull
manager Of the Manufacturers Associa-
ton, says:
There has been pronounced improve
ment in the textile industry and good
improvement in the shoe industry. The
metal trades are way down, perhaps as
bad as at any time since depression
started. The wood industry Is operating
now. What sixty days viii bring to It
cannot say. Pulp and paper mills
are ON 90 to 90 per cent capacity. Con-
struction industries are on 80 per cent,
but there is more going on than the pub
lie appreciates. This is particularly true
upstate. In one upstate town eighty
nine dwellings and three large office
structures are in course of building.
Any one passing through that town
wouldn't suppose there was so much
activity.
The labor situation had to be cor
rected and is being corrected. For a
time labor acted as If it should get 100
per cent pay for Is per cent produc-
ton. That is changed. We have &
good, sane element In labor here, espe-
cially in Milwaukee and we are making
Roadway.
There have been sporadic attempts to
relieve unemployment ~ encouraging
building possibly through the use of
public funds. There is extensive high
way construction under way. This
amounts TO some hundreds of miles OF
concrete and more than that Of macadam
road. This ceases with frost.

background. While crops In general

dairy situation is satisfactory.

port regarding them.

Der Is, tn law allows the killing Of
two Chinese pheasants, five quail,
and five Hungarian, but the bag
limit for one day is ten birds and no
hunter is allowed to have any more

garians, or vice versa, but the total
must not exceed ten birds.
/ Upon the recommendation of Pres

cided to hold smoker for the sports
men of the entire county, including
the. members of the Tenino Rod and
Gun club, to discuss and prepare
plans for the propagation and pro-
lection of game and game fish in
various parts OF the county. At this
time the association will also take
up the ACCESSIBILITY Of closing certain
lakes and streams to fishing for
the purpose of restocking them.
The association Investigated the
reports OF depredations made by the
gray squirrel regarding girdling
fruit and forest trees. The game
commission will be asked to trap
these squirrels in districts where
they are causing trouble and trans
port them to other parts of the
county where they are apt to de
little damage. The sportsmen felt
that 1t would be unwise to kill these
animals in view of the efforts which
had been put forth to propagate
