TWO LOCAL ATTORNEYS
SUCCESSFUL IN CASES
BEFORE JUDGE LANDS

Two Wausau attorneys were I'M
usually successful last week in federal
court presided over by Judge K. NJ.
Lands at La Crosse. The cases in
yolved were all brought in on evidence
obtained by prohibition agents. At
torney J. p. Ford represented William
Buynoski of Superior, Louis Zaturski
of Wausau, Felix Lukasavitz of Custer
and Joseph Gesicki of Mosinee and
obtained dismissal or their cases.
Judge Lands told some of the de-
PENDANTS that he was dismissing them
not because of their innocence but be-
cause their attorneys were able to
find loop-holes in the law and because
of the errors made by prohibition
agents. Mr.. Ford was appointed by
Judge Lands to represent Buynoski,
who was unable to retain an attorney.
Mr.. Ford's cases were heard Tuesday
and Wednesday of last week.
On Thursday Frank P. Regner of
the law firm of Regner & Ringle, ap-
peared in behalf of John Hoffman,

Condemn High Priced
Stock Foods
Prominent Hog Raiser Says
Prices Charged Are Unwar-
ranted-Makes His Own
Hog Food, With
Better Results

THAT he is all through paying fancy
prices for stock foods and hog rem
edies and that he is raising some of
the best hogs ever placed ON the mar
ket" was the statement made recently
by f. III. Beckstead, well-known hog
raiser and authority on live stock
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
of his neighbors, and have topped the
market" for several years in Iowa
He states that for years he bought
high priced hog foods and hog rem
edies, but he is all through paying ex-
travagant prices for what he can make
himself. He states that what the hogs
need are minerals, and tells the secret
OF his wonderful success by explain
ing that he takes about five pounds of
ordinary mineraline (Which is pure
concentrated minerals and costs only
a couple of dollars) and mixes same
with enough bran or filler to make a
hundred pounds. All hogs and es-
pecially brood sows require minerals
as they keep them free from worms
and in the pink of condition, and are
essential to the hogs growth and
we'll balanced ration. This inexpen-
sive mixture placed in sheltered box
where the hogs can get at it as they
need it. will produce far better. re-
suits than any high priced so-called
stock foods.
Send two dollars to The Mineraline
Chemical Co., 1888 North Wells ST.,
Chicago ILL.,, and they will forward
YOU by prepaid parcel post, enough
mineraline to make a full hundred
pounds. Adv. Sat.

ALARM CLOCKS IN N. Y.
HOTEL ARE OPERATED
BY ELECTRIC SYSTEM

An electrically operated alarm
clock in each sleeping room. OBJ
waiting the necessity of hotel
guests depending on uhe night
clerk to arouse them in the morn

BY setting this clock at the hour
at which he wishes to be awak-

Another unusual feature is an
automatic adjuster on the passen-

Real Estate Man Urges Care in Sc

Prospective home builders should
pay particular attention to the loca-
ton of dwellings in the community.
il is pointed out by Fulton Il. Gordon,
local real estate man.
Factors to be considered are past,
present and future of the neighbor-
hood. the school, churches and rela-
tive distances. he declares.
Mr. Gordon contends that there is
in the heart of every normal Ameri-
can man and woman a desire to have
a home" If this desire is not pres

NAL or un-American. he believes. al
though it does not follow that people

progressive or more easily done. and
no city in America where home is
more to be desired than Washington.

BUILDERS CENTER
INTERESTS HERE

Washington has become of late the
center of national construction in
terest due to the number of annual
meetings which have been held here.
Two of the most important factors
in the building industry, the contrac-
tor and the architect. were repre-
scented at meetings this week. The
spring meeting of the executive com
mittec of the Associated General Con-
tractors of America concluded Ses-
sionS Wednesday at the Washington
Hotel. At the same time the Amer
lean Institute of Architects began its
sessions at the National Museum.
Last week the realtors interests were
represented, with the president and
officers of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards in the city.

Local builders. architects and real
estate men have been taking advan-
tage of the opportunity afforded by
the presence of men of national char
acter to learn frst-hand of condi-
tons in the construction industry
throughout the coutry in general,
with "A view to comparing them with
the local situation.
Information gathered from contrac-
tors of Chicago. New York. Cleveland.
Boston and Detroit has led Washing
ton builders to congratulate them
selves that they have not met with
difficulties now being experienced in
other cities. The labor situation in
the cities mentioned was reported as
very serious" and delegates to the
associated contractors meeting. en-
phasized this fact with such effect
that it is understood Secretary OF
Labor Davis was interviewed in this
connection at the conference held
Wednesday. One of Washington s
leading home builders states that the
labor situation locally is satisfactory
