Saws the Gillett Times.

Last Saturday Sears-Roebuck
stock closed on the New York
stock exchange at 62h. On the
corresponding date in 1917 1t
closed at 23S-1-S. Last Saturday
200 shares of Montgomery Ward
were sold ON the Chicago stock
exchange at only 1878. Truly
an ultramarine outlook is in front
of the mail order business. Still
the Havana and Louisiana lOtter-
les hung on long time after the
public was educated to their
iniauities. And when the big
mail order houses are a thing of
the past the local merchant may
thank the local newspaper for it:

BONUS MEN ENROLLING
One Thousand State Soldier
Bonus Students Now At
tending the University.

About 1000 state soldier bonus
students have enrolled in the Uni
versity of Wisconsin this semes-
ter. under the Wisconsin soldiers
bonus act, and about
80 per cent of them are new
students. Quite a few of the new
students are not freshmen, but
have entered the University of
Wisconsin from other schools, es-
pecially from the Milwaukee
branch of the University of Wis
consin where they took the two
year engineering course.
Two years ago this time l,iOO
soldier bonus students were en-
rolled in the university, and last
year there were l,200. This de-
crease may be due to the fact that
the number of men qualifying un-
der the bonus act who wish 10 en-
ter the university naturally grows
less each year. The bonus act
which was passed by the state
legislature two years ago, expires
at the end of five years, after hav-
ing furnished each bonus student
with a maximum of Sl,OSO, or $50
per month for four school years
of nine months each.

From the Portland OregOnian.

PAUL BUNYAN!! Man of mar
velous adventures! Known TO
most residents of the middle west.
Baron Munchausen, romancer of
Europe, is a back number in COM
parison with the doughty Paul.
The difficulty is that as Paul was
not able TO write and had no BIZ
ographer his deeds live only in
stories passed from mouth to
mouth. But the time seems to
have arrived when Bunyan's feats
shall be immortalized. The Villas
County News, printed in Eagle
River, Wis, near the scenes of
Bunyan's activities, has just is
sued a special Paul Bunyan holt
day edition. NJ. c. Meservey, a
former lumberman of Wisconsin
but now operating in Portland,
received a copy from Ben Alex
ander and Meservey insists that
not half of Pauls adventures are
chronicled therein.
This being the case, and at Mr..
Meservey's earnest solicitation, we
will make some effort TO gather
some of Bunyan's tales of Prov
ess together, and will welcome
any contributions from those who
know anything of his past life

A Correction.

In last weeks News a mistake
occurred in the c. c. Knox adver-
tisement. Instead of reading "a
discount of two per cent on all
accounts paid on or before the
tenth of the month following
date of purchase" the advertise
ment erred in stating that "a dis
count of five percent, etc" would
be given.

Better Summer Service.

Fifty all steel cars have been
ordered by the Chicago and North
western Railway lin anticipation
of the increased volume of traffic
when the expected business reviv-
al is at hand"
The Northwestern officials are
one of the shrewdest railway
managers of the country. The
Northwestern company has had
that reputation for a good many
years. When it orders so all steel
cars, it does so because 1t has ev-
cry expectation of needing the
cars soon.
Moreover, it expects TO have
the money wherewith to pay for
them. 1t says its action is in an
ticipation of increased business
when the expected revival in bus
mess arrives. Clearly, it is look
ing for its arrival very shortly.
What the Northwestern has
done by its order is to increase
the confidence of this part of the
United States that business Is GO
ing TO get better and especially in
the Northwest.-Duluth News
