LOGS LIKELY TO BE DAM
AGED BY WORMS IN WOODS

How to handle nearly half million
feet Of 25-log pine timber on the roll
ways near Gordon has been under con-
SderatiOn by the MenaSha Wooden
Ware Co. of this city.
The sleighing has been rather poor
around Gordon this winter on account
Of comparatively little snow over a
sandy road bottom. and the logs were
not hauled to the railroad landing.
Three propositions have been under
consideration in taking care of this
timber to prevent worms from getting
in their destructive work Oh it during
the coming Summer-and this small
pine is particularly susceptible to dam
age from worms: A portable mill may
be taken in there to saw the logs or
ii may he hauled out by tractors,
though this would not be an easy task !;
or the logs can be fiOated to Chittamo,
on the 500 Line. and loaded there, pro
vidcd driving conditions on the river
there are favorable.
There is considerable money invest
cd in this bunch Of logs, and the say
ing of it in full. together with the an
ticipatcd profit. means something to
the company and the employees neces-
Siry TO handle and work it up.

CASH BASIS
Move Taken To Eliminate Loss

lecting

Rusk county garages will do a
strictly cash business hereafter. This
was definitely decided upon at meet
ing held at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms Monday evening, although this
step was first suggested and agreed
upon at the meeting held Feb. "A.
Losses sustained by the members OF

tically every garage in Rusk county,
made the adoption of the cash system
absolutely necessary 1t will result
in giving the public better service and
the man who always pays his bills
will not have to pay percentage to
cover the bills of the chap who evades
payment.
The members have agreed to make
absolutely no exception of anyone.
