Bargain Loving New York
BY FREDERICK }. HAsKIN

of large estates he had an opportun
ity to secure lot of good but hope
lessly modern furniture at a very low
price. He could not use such stuff
himself, he said, but he believed that
it could be handled at handsome
profit by private individual. At any
rate, he suggested that she buy a few
pieces at a sale that was to take place
soon; advertise them as private
householder and see how the public
responded.
The widow followed his advice and
was amazed at the results. She not
only sold the furniture she bought at
the sale, but some of her own furni-
ture as we'll On this first transaction
she made $500. After that, she attend
ed sales regularly and also started
visiting the large wholesale houses
and buying up odd lots of portieres
and tapestries at low prices. She dis
posed of these at such large profit
that a new idea occurred to her why
not" she thought, buy directly from
the big furniture factories?" Her
business was growing so rapidly that
she could no longer take the time to
attend auction sales in distant parts
OF the city, and furthermore, she had
observed that the new, unblemished
portieres, described as slightly used"
had sold to much better advantage
than the really damaged furniture
that came from the auction rooms.
New Secondhand Furniture.
You see, the whole thing is very
simple" she explained to her tenant
THE people who come to buy these
factory goods expect to find them con-
siderably damaged. Any furniture
which has been used at all generally
is. When they fined the things in
perfect condition, they are taken by
surprise and are easily convinced that
they are getting great bargain. In
one week | sold three Queen Anne
desks-each desk for $40 more than
it would have cost in a certain large
department store

GOOD QUALITY SAP, LARGEST RUN IN YEARS,
REPORT FROM WAYNE COUNTY SUGAR CAMPS

prosaic now, but the same process of
gathering and manufacturing is fol-
lowed.
Tapping the trees is the first pro-
cess, holes being bored about one
fourth to one-half inch in diameter,
and spout inserted on which is hung
a pail to catch the dripping sap. Some
amateur sap gathering may be OBJ
served in Richmond on South Seven
teenth street between A and B streets.
AS the buckets fill, they are emptied
by the gatherers who travel from tree
to tree with team of horses pulling
sledge on which a barrel is laiG,
with funnel in the bung hole. The
buckets are emptied into the barrel,
and when full, it is hauled to the
camp, a board shack sheltering the
evaporation and storage tanks. In the
Cromer camp, and all others where
that is possible, the camp is built on a
side hill, and the barrels are delivered
to the up hill side, where they are
rolled off directly over the first stor-
barrels, 600 gallon) capacity, or more.

capacity of the evaporation.
Clear Fluid.
The sugar water as it is poured out
is found to be. a clear fluid, just a lit
tie milky, with a weakly sweetish
taste. From the last storage tank

automobile valve on the first pan, sit

orator.

this way Is, indeed, so very easy and
profitable that there are now concerns
who are willing to supply merchandise
on a credit basis to private individuals
who will agree to advertise and sell it.
One of these concerns recently adver-
tised for home workers" who were
later circularized in the following
frank manner:
IF man puts an ad in the paper
like those We mention above, and the
people rush to his house and buy him
out just because they believe he is
really selling some of his personal ap-
parel or furnishings, and they think
they are getting a wonderful bargain,
the party selling the goods is justified
and you can not blame him IL he is go
ing to advertise like that right along
and build up a big bank account be-
cause he knows how to take advan-
tage of the ordinary peoples credulity.
To make big money in this world you
, have to study human nature and take
advantage of what you learn. We are
writing to you just as plainly as though
we were talking to you face to face.
1--WE buy up large jobs of goods from
bankrupt concerns, from estates which
are being settled, from the biggest job
! bers in the country. What we buy we
buy at such ridiculously low prices
that you would not believe it. We have
bought goods under the hammer in
some Of the big auction houses of New
York at such low prices that the own
er of the goods who was forced to sell
because he needed the cash, and who
/ happened to be standing by watching
the sale of his goods, actually had
tears in his eyes. But this is business.
If we didn't buy, someone else would.
This merchandise we ship to our eli
ents who advertise in their daily
papers just as we advise them. We
coach them. We train them We prac-
tically lead them by the hand. We
show them for the first time in their
lives how to make big money in a
smart way, and, what is more, they
do not, have to give up their employ
ment, because they can either have
ipeople come to them in the evening
or else there is always some one al
home during the day to take care OF
them
This is only a part of the letter, but

their suspicious may become aroused.
and in some New York dailies such
ads have been carefully marked with
title Dealers" yet the chances OF dig
covery are obviously slight.
AS for the public it has seldom any
reason to complain, because 1t does
not know it has been deceived. The
people who are taken in by schemes
of this kind rarely discover their own
gullibility. They are the same people
who buy factory-made antiques; who
purchase neckties from street peddlers
at prices double those prevailing in
the stores, and who buy oil wells in
the Cobb Desert. New York is full of
them.

"A $500 Radio Outfit free for a few

IA $500 Radio Outfit free for few
words" is the keynote of an extensive
advertising campaign in the territory
covered by the Wisconsin River Power
and affiliated companies, the purpose
being to secure a slogan for their per
cent cumulative preferred stock issue
which is being offered to investors by
the employees of the company. Addit-
ional capital for expantion of the sys-
tenn and improvement of the service is
to be secured in this manner. There
are no strings tied to this offer.
Anyone residing within the territory
served by the companies may enter the
contest by the following simple direc-
tions which will be printed in the adver-
tisements appearing in this paper.
Perhaps you may win the outfit if you
try. The Radio set to be given away
is not toy or plaything. It consists
of the most powerful receiver made by
the Westinghouse Electric and Mfg.
Co., and includes "Magnavox' loud
speaker and all apparatus and equip
ment necessary to set up and receive
wireless from all parts of the country.

Recapitulation County Nurse.

The Wisconsin Child Welfare ssWhite
Special, clinic on wheels, has finished
its first visit to the county. Saturday
the Special left Rock county for Madi-
son, to go on next week into Grant
county. The three weeks in Rock
county have been very busy ones, if
ore considers that the Special only went
to the rural districts of the county,
that the first week had rain and snow
storms and that the whole three weeks
are among the very busy ones of the
farmer, 375 children were brought to
the Special in the county, all being
under six years of afe. Out of this
number SO or one-fourth were perfect
children both mentally and physically;
only one-fourth were underweight.
Also we know that Rock county moth
ers are giving their small children a
great deal of milk to drink, and are
mostly giving them the proper food to
the best of their knowledge. Only II
were found who had some bone defect,
bringing out the important factor that
two-thirds of all children in the county
are breast fed when infants, making
the appearance OF. ricketts, very slight in
this locality. DR.. B. Fl. Rivers stated
stated that she had not.worked any
place where such few cases of ricketts,
were seen. On the other hand many
children are not receiving the care of
their teeth that they should have; IS
or one-fifth Of the children had defec-
tive teeth which need immediate care.
Enlarged and defective teeth were
found among LOG children.
Many children who during the past
year had some of the so-called chill
dren's diseases, such as whooping cough
and scarlet fever, showed some trouble
with their hearts; these children, % of
them, will need more rest and sleep
than the average child, and the defect
will disappear as time goes on.
Aside from these, defects of the
glands, skin, lungs and nervous system
were found. Several mothers were
told to take the child to their family
doctor at once for medical care.
In six different places health takes
were given by DR.. B. H. Rivers on
Health Of the Home; in IL places NOV
ing pictures were shown with an at
tendance of $40 people, while the at
tendance at the lectures was sos.
Miss Luetscher wants to thank all
the mothers who made special effort to
bring their children, also the various
districts for their hard work and inter
est in giving publicity for the Specials
appearance, and also for the courtesy
which was shown to the personnel of
the Special. She is very positive that
the Specials first trip in the state, in
Rock county, was decided success,
due mostly to the hearty cooperation
of the public, the teachers and the
press.

Fraternity the Great Need.

1t was Victor Hugo who conceived
this thought: 1.-THE true resistance OF
man against catastrophes is an aug
mentation of humanity. Love one an
other, aid one another Solidarity OF
men is the retort to completely of mys-
terious facts. 1t is thus that is estab-
lished on earth the third term of the
grand human formula, fraternity. Gov
ernments put obstacles in the way OF
liberty and equality, they will come in
their time, in spite of the monarchy
equality in spite of the aristocracy.
But fraternity is the opening door, the
emf wing purse. the helping hand"

Chess VS.. Checkers.

Chess appeals to mature minds, and
wood supplies most of the accoutre-
ments with which it is played. Some
of lie best are of ebony and lockwood,
but very satisfactory games may be
player with yellow poplar, Eastwood,
walnu maple and birch outfits. The
same holds true of checkers, but that
game usually is rated a little lower
than chess in scientific points; though
no less an authority than Edgar Allan
Poe holds that as a mental exercise
of the highest and purest sort check
ers surpasses chess.
