GERMANY is
READY TO TAKE
WORLD TRADE

London, June 18-Germany, now
set for the greatest trade drive in his
tory to meet her indemnity obliga-
tons is preparing for a commerce
struggle to take all the world markets
away from Great Britain according
to the Daily Express
The Daily Express views the future
that the British working men are go
with undisguised alarm, declaring
ing to suffer keenly from the indus
trial competition.
Before the war the total export of

world was thirteen hundred mil
lions" said the Daily Express. IF
Germany is to pay the war indemnity
as it is now fixed she must export
over fifteen hundred millions of
goodS-more than the total export of
the world before and twice the pre-
war export of Great Britain and Ger
many combined.

the form in which the Allied Powers

sternation tr the city and in the

many, as our commercial rival is
able to pay, she can only do so at
the price of running the export trade
of Great Britain. If she sells over
fifteen hundred millions worth of
goods to the world at large the Brit

live, may as well put up its shutters.
There will be nothing left over for

"And this may well happen The
Germans are working furi0usIy at
low rates of wages and with the

NOT TO HONOR
TICKETS FOR
HALF-FARES

With the second conference be-
tween the representatives of the Con-
necticut company and the troIleymen
at a deadlock, and the matter about
to go to arbitration, many other mat
tiers of interest to habitua1 riders are
coming to the surface.
One is the fact that with a reduc-
ton in operating expenses the men
feel as though there should be a re-
duction in fares. This is in line with
the belief of the public that the
quickest way for the trolley company
to get rid of the horde of jitneys
would be to operate over the same
distance for the same fare 1t is
admitted that research has shown
tro1leys more practical and cheaper
of operation than jitney buses. Local
officials have denied right along that
any reduction was anticipated. The
effect of the new jitney law upon the
riding public may govern the situa-
ton to a great extent In the mean
time, instead of a reduction, it is an
nounced from New Haven that half
fare tickets will not be honored dur
ing the summer.
This covers tickets issued for
school children which were later al
lowed to include those attending Sun
day school. During the summer
when public schools are closed the
tickets viii not be honored on the
Sabbath.
Connecticut company officials have
also denied that the use of buses was
to be resorted to, especially on the
geport-Danbury line, to give more
frequent service and to compete with
jitneys- The dispatch, which has
been denied. came out of Danbury.
People interested are wondering if
the report was garbled. and if the
road may not be considering gasoline
propelled motor railway cars. of the
type long in use and very successful
on a number of progressive western
roads such as the Chicago & North
western. c. NJ. & st. P, Northern Pa
ciic and others These cars, over
the regular lines, are very speedy,
and give the opportunity of quick
service on branch lines and local
runs, and only require two men to
operate, which is much cheaper and
more efficient than running local
trains of three or four coaches at a
greater locomotion expense, in addi-
ton to requiring q crew of three men
besides a brakeman on nearly every
car

MEETING AUBURNDALE HOL-
STEIN CLUB OF THE WOOD
COUNTY HOLSTEIN BREEDERS
ASSOCIATION.

The second meeting of the Auburn
dale Holstein Club was held in Au-
burndale on Thursday, March oath.
The meeting was called to order by
Pres. VIM Schultz. The liberal at
tendance of enthusiastic Holstein
breeders made the session an inter-
esting one. Upon the resignation of
Sec'y.-Treas. Donald Meany, George
Kieffer was elected to that office.
County Agent R. A. Peterson outlined
plan of work for the year which
embodied the plans for the enlarge
ment of the club, a campaign against
the scrub sire, the support of Boys
and Girls Club, development of show
animals for local and County Fairs,
encouragement of testing thru both
official and Cow Testing ISOLATION
methods, and last to have every herd
tested for tuberculosis. The program
was unanimously adopted for 1921.
A discussion of the Auburndale Cow
Testing Association which will start
work on April 1st with Mr.. Alvin
Schroeder @: Marshfield as the tester
followed. Two more members of the
Holstein Club joined the testing as
sociation so that eleven of the eigh-
teen members of the Club will be in
the testing association.
Several of the herds represented are
already on the Federal Accredited
Herd list and more applications for
the T. B. test are being made for the
remaining herds. All the members
were in favor of the County T. B.
Cleanup plan.
George Baltus and Tom Woiler
were elected as directors to work
with the officers in putting Auburn
dale Holstein to the front. With the
active leaders who have been elected,
backed up by the enthusiasm of the
club members, there is no question as
to the success of the Auburndale club.
The Auburndale Holstein club will
be one of the ten clubs that have been
in Wood County this winter
that will federate at an early date
into a Wood County Holstein Associa-
ton.

RE-FORESTATION
To COMMENCE IN
Wis. RAPIDS

The question of re-forestation that
is being agitated by the Milwaukee
Journal for this state for some time
prompted George N. Wood, the Real
Estate and Insurance Man, to inter-
view Mayor Chas. E. Briere, about the
re-forestation of the parks and other
lands owned by the city of Wisconsin
Rapids. He told the Mayor that the
land below the pumping house would
be fine place to start the work. He
said that he would start planting white
pine and Norway pine, of native
growth, as soon as the frost was out
of the ground. He said the city own
ed several pieces of land that were
suitable and could be re-planted
in this manner, he would be glad
to give his time if the young men
would help him in this work. That he
would furnish the native trees with
out expense to the city. He has many
young men who have already volun-
teered to help him and they expect to
start the work this week. Some time
ago he brought this matter to the at
tention of Scout Master Knapp, and
elicitated his help with the boy scouts.

F.G. GILkEY,
CITY CLERK, OVER
RIDES THE Law
PAYS NO ATTENTION TO HIS
OFFICIAL DUTIES AS PRO-
VIDED BY THE
STATUTE.

In the Election Laws of Wisconsin
of 1919 it is provided in reference to
the publication of the list of nomina-
tions filed with him as City Clerk that
he have them published with a fac
simije of. the ballot. The law reads
6.21 Publication of Official Ballot
% Before an election to fill any pub
lie office, the County or CITY CLERK
of each County or CITY shall cause
to be published in at least TWO and in
not more than four newspapers pub
lished within the County or CITY the
nominations to Office certified to, or
filed with him, which publication shall
be FACSIMILE Of the ballot.
This part of the Statute has not been
complied with as he has only had the
notice published in one paper, and the
facsimile was not given.
Further he has failed to comply with
the Statute in the printing of his bal
lots.
1898. Election functions of County
Clerks to be exercised by CITY
CLERKS, or Election Commissioners.
The functions and duties prescribed
by for County Clerks by Section 6.25
shall be exercised and performed by
the Board of Elections Commissioners
for city elections in each city having
more than one hundred thousand in
habitants and by the CITY CLERK
for city elections in every other city.
Section 625 reads:
Printing of Ballots by County
Clerk. % Except as in this chapter
otherwise provided, it shall be the duty
of each County Clerk to provide print
ed ballots for every election for pub
lie officers to be voted for in his coun-
ty and to cause to be printed in the ap-
propriate ballot thename of every can
didate whose nameshas been duly GER,
titled to or filed with him; such coun-
ty clerk shall let to the LOWEST
BIDDER within such county the
printing of all ballots and shall keep
all proposals for such printing in his
office.
The City Clerk has utterly failed to
even carry out the spirit of the law,
but to the contrary has purposely
nulifed the election by so doing. His
attention was called to this matter and
the law, by the writer, and was very
much put out for our calling his at
tention to the law. This is not the
end of this matter, if there is any
remedy in the willful violation of the
law

BLIND OK, DESERTED BY
GANDER GUIDE, is DEAD

GREENSBORO, ALA.-The blind
OK, famous as the protege of a stately
gander on the j. A. Holcroft planta-
tion, near here, is dead. His death is
believed directly due to enforced sep
aration from his guardian.
Recently, it became necessary to
transfer the OK to another pasture.
The gander was unable to follow. The
separation was too much for the OK
and he pined and dropped, refused
food and drink and finally died.
The OK and gander lately attracted
widespread attention by their strange
companionship. Each day at regu-
lar intervals, the gander would lead
the OK to water by strutting ahead Of
him, honking loudly so that his af
flicted ward could follow the sound.
If other cattle approached, the fowl
would attack furiously, driving off the
intruders.
