HOW TO MAKE MONEY FAST

Get a dozen eggs, a pumpkin pie,
loaf of bread, a pound Of wieners,
a cash register and a box Of paper
napkins and start a chain of restau-
rants The public has learned how to
make this sort of business profitable.
You can retail a few sandwiches at
20 cents each, making profit of $50
per cent. BY using a razor you can
cut pumpkin pie into II pieces and re-
tail the pie at 20 cents the piece. Thus
each pie will bring you $40, repre-
senting a profit of 1000 per cent, as
the original pie cost you II cents. Yon
can get one dollar out of every Loaf
of bread by serving two small slices
of toast for 70 cents. 1t is being done
every day, and so far as the fare IS
concerned the public simply eats it
up.

WHAT YOU HAVE LOST
Wisconsin State Journal

1t is said the OLDEST industrial com
panv in the world is a Swedish 1irm.
Its letterhead announces that it was
founded in the year 1925. The name
OF the company is StOra Kopparbergs
BergsIat Aktiebolaget The name it
self is formidable enough to stand the
storms of seven centuries. Trans
lated it means the Great Copper
Mountain Company.
The Oldest company has many in
terests Primarily it has always been
a miner and refiner Of copper. Today
it has scientific management i'll the
33d degree It's welfare activities for
its employees include hospitals, Ii
braries, baths, schools, cooperative
stores, recreatiOnaI CCncers, summer
homes for children and garden plots
EOr the workers homes. In a sense
modern civilization considers these
things ideal. Yet it is doubtful II the
companys employees are as happy as
its employees Of many centuries ago,
when the miner logged his ore away
from the mine and smelted it in his
home.
We have gained a lot of things by
our modern industrial system. Also
we have lost lot. Our great-grand-
fathers felled trees, made clearings
III the wilderness, built log cabins.
Musket balls, nodded at an open fire
place, brought them venison, wild
turkeys and other game. Tanned
deerskin and spinning wheels solved
the clothing problem Forests gave
free fuel Great-grandfather had to
chop the firewoOd and he had to put
a few hours a day in his garden. But
his beloved home was in sight at
nearly all times. And the children
rolicked about him as he welded his
AK and hoe. Life was in the open
healthy. glorious, with birds singing
by the thousands and sweet woodland
scents fltering through the sunshine
ON the pure air. Too much we eat
out Of tin can and a cold storage
plant now. Our water is chemically
treated to kill germs. Spinning
wheel and deer are gone; clothing
eats into our pay. Forests are near
ing extinction and sOoty coal costs
like sixty. All is a system-method
zeal, this regulated, that prohibited.
Such is progress. And the ultimate
goal iS-what? No one knows

SATAN ROUTES RURAL DANCERS
Swan CitV (MinnO Herald

Lake Marion, nine miles from here,
is a pretty resort, and a pavilion has
been built there by the side of the
hotel for dancing. On Sunday for
some time back. dances have been
held and people for miles around
have attended. 1t has been said that
the dances are rough. One Sunday
night a dance was in progress, and
there were 100 dancers on the floor,
when the devil came and was in their
midst, Some claim that he came up
through the floor, and others that he
came down from the roof. He was a
regular fellow. they say, horns, boots
and tail. The lights fared, the mu-
siraI instruments flew from the hands
of the players and were splintered.
Lur;d lights filled the place and the
devil danced among them Women
and girls screamed, and some tainted.
They all fed, terror-stricken. from
the place, Some hid i'll the woods all
night; some sought shelter at farm
houses md 26 cars were left standing
Dcay tie pavilion until daylight came
wien the party rallied and kept their
courage up by keeping close together.
Many and varied stories are told of
the details. but the above is told by
all. II ii was a hoax, it was cleverly
done end the perpetrators are keeping
IL still. The proprietor has offered
$1,000 for an explanation of it. His
place, hotel and all, is deserted and
abandoned. Neither he nor his fam
lily dare remain there

DEDICATED TO DEAD BEATS

The dead beat poses as an honest
man, and by reason of his pose is
enabled to prey upon his fellows.
Wherever he can obtain credit, there
he buys He buys freely and fares
we'll When those who have given
him credit demand a settlement he
answers truthfully that he has no
money and cannot pay He will make
fine promises, call heaven to witness
that he is an honest man sore beset
by circumstance, and protest that the
debt slipped upon him without his
knowledge And SO protesting he
will earn a measure Of faith and pity,
and escape some portion of the con-
demnation he so richly deserves.
There is no truth in him. He
knows the amount of his income; he
knows that he is making debts faster
than he is making money; he knows
lhat he cannot pay for the goods he
is buying; and his clear intent is to
defraud those who trust him.
People OF large sympathy and small
wit will be tempted to find excuses
for him They will say that one Of
his reckless and care-free tempera-
ments cannot school himself to
thrift. Their defense does little cred
it to their intelligence. Any man pos
Sessed of sufficient wit to earn dol
lar knows that he cannot pay out
more money than he takes ink.

SHIPS IOWA 60. CORN TO EGYPT

Joseph A. Brunker, son of a Ridge
way farmer has filled an order for
six bushels of seed corn to Egypt.
It is stated as a fact that the great
commonwealth of Wisconsin is rated
throughout the world as one of the
leading agricultural centers and it
was also generally conceded during
the recent panic and depression now
happily passing, that Grant and Iowa
counties in southwestern Wisconsin
were the least affected of any section
in the middle west. wisconsin has
10000 more silos than any other state
and her pedigreed seed grains, dairy
cattle and potatoes have a worldwide
reputation The state is also recOg-
nized as being busy industrially and
rapidly on the return tward prosper
ity All this has something to do with
the Ridgeway boys shipment Of corn
to far-off Egypt as the incident shows
how the state is regarded outside its
borders.

the reason she is a republican is be-
cause nearly one hundred years ago
her grandfather, missionary among
the Georgia Indians, was sentenced
to four years in prison because he re-
fused to leave his charges. Andrew

reason she is a republican. Some

A 'Jack-the-W hipper," is giving
the Madison police excitement and
trouble of late. His activities are
confined to lashing young girls who
are found on the streets at night.
Why should those girls be on the
streets at an unholy hour and un-
attended? That lasher may be a
blessing in disguise. The writer
knows of other cities where it would
be a good plan to send for "Jack-the

POLITE POLITICS IN HIGHLAND

(Willow Valley Writer in Democrat)
The &. o. p. wheel horses and the
bell-wether politicians of Richland
county, who have hitherto been the
staunch supporters of the two
terms rule" have baked They
couldn't wait for the pie" to be
passed" but have taken a special
short cut to the pie" wagon. Their
itching palms, Unsuitable greed and
long habit of dictatorship in the af-
fairs of the county, has given them a
serious attack of the big head and
now through a superabundance OF
conceit and bigotry they presume
they can handle a majority OF the
voters of the county as easily as
they coerced majority of the county
dads. They even became so chesty
that they declared in public, ITO
hell with Richland Center" Not only
will the people of the county seat re-
member that, but there are rural
precincts where the people felt the
weight of that autocratic spirit ana
were witnesses to the dirty politics
where the legislators bargained away
their birthright for a mess OF pottage.
The average voter is not blind nor
deaf to these sCurvy tricks and the
perpetrators will discover the fact ere
the primary and November elections
are over Many of the common people
will endure much, but such fragrant
violations of decency as has been wit
messed during the past three years
will not go unchallenged.

LaFOllette can be beaten. He cannot
as long as he lives in Wisconsin. AS
much as one may wish otherwise you

be doped out on a basis of compari-
son of scores.

the most capable referee in the north
west has been agreed upon as referee
for the game. Time-keeperS and
scorers will be picked at the game.
On Saturday night the two teams play
