silk Underwear Buying Retarded.

Growing distrust of present prices of
silk is seen In the curtailing of whole
sale buying OF silk underwear. A prom
inent manufacturer in that line Is re-
ported as placing his merchandise on
the market at prices based on purchases
Of The raw product last August. when
raw silk was selling around the sc level.
In spite OF his prices being less than
present replacement values. the manu-
facturer reports only hand to mouth
buying evident by ont of towr buyers.
Certain of the city's largest retail stores
arc doing their purchasing daily as call
demands. and orders placed usually are
for half dozen lots or less. That buying
indicates that stocks arc low, and yet
retailers are unwilling to commit them
selves TO advanced orders.

Market Deadlocked on Reports
That Buyers Were Holding

Unsettling advces from goods centers.
Liyerpoois softness and reaction of ser

All reports from local cotton goods quar-

would have to make concessions to do
business. In other words. a deadlock
resulted Manchester reports were jus,
as pessimistic and Indicated that the
expected Indian demand had not mater
ialized.
The Census Bureaus ginning figures
made no impression on the market de-
spite the fact that they we're slightly
out of line with expectations. The num-
Der OF bales ginned in this season, bofore
January 16 was 1854, in contrast to
l2,o14,742 ginned in the corresponding
1921 period. According to the foregoing
only about $4,000 were ginned in the
first half of January, or more than esti-
mated by the National Ginners Associa-
ton.
The market here was not active
enough in it's early dealings to show
much unsettement. Prices dropped Il
few points at the first call. and later in
the forenoon eased off about 25 points

close. Liverpool interests, commission
houses and local Wall Street operators

Small exports. closing weakness of
grain and reports of wage cutting in
Lancashire and Rhode Island were all
factors on the decline. The market was
within few points of it's days low at

Little Interest I'm Fur Strike.

Comment heard yesterday In the trade
on the contemplated strike IN the fur
industry was TO the effect that manu-
facturers were only slightly concerned
about it. The present agreement be-
tween the manufacturers and the work
ers expires on February %. Before re-
newing it the manufacturers viii ask
for five hour increase in the working
week and cancellation of several holi-
days. The lack of interest by the manu-
facturers is said to be due to the fact
that production is practically nil. and
that If strike should occur 1t would
relieve the operators Of one phase OF
overhead expense during the present
period of inactivity.

strike settlement Helps Braids.

The settlement of the strike in the
cloak and suit industry has given a
decided impetus to business in the braid
and embroidery lines. orders received
in the last week, according to n manu-
facturer. have Increased more than 100
per cent. since the settlement of the
strike. \ late Easter this year is eS-
pected to prove somewhat of a boom to
manufacturers in that line. as il means
longer period of spring buying be-
fore the fall business shall begin. In
addition the lengthening OF the spring
season shortens the period of time be-
tween the two buying cycles.

CAR AND TEAM COLLIDE
DR.. A. w. Thorpe injured in
Collision on Main Street
Monday Evening.

As a result of a collision on
Main street Monday evening be
tween the Ford sedan driven by
DR.. A. w. Thorpe and the horse
driven dray belonging to Chas.
Hanke, DIR. Thorpe is confined to
his home suffering from the loss
of a thumb, several broken teeth
and other body injuries. While
his condition is not considered
critical it will be some time be
fore he RECEIVERS from the result
of the accident.
The team and auto came to-
gether head-On Monday evening
a few minutes after five o'clock
in front of the Hanke residence
on Wall street. DIR. Thorpe was
returning from a professional
call and met the dray Just as it
was about to turn into the alley
at the Hanke residence. On &C
count of the mist and fog at that
time it was impossible to discern
an object many feet ahead. The
pole of the dray struck the radi-
ator, crushing it back over the
engine, continued through the
windshield and through the steer
ing wheel. 1t severed the left
thumb from the doctors hand,
which grasped the wheel, struck
him upon the chest and broke
several of his teeth and cut his
cheek, passing back through the
left door of the sedan.
Both of the chains holding the
pole to the collars broke, the car
knocking one of the horses down.
The car slid almost its length
along the pole before coming to
a stop. The only injury to the
team were a few cuts on the near
horse which was thrown from
its feet by the impact of the car.
The damage to the car is slight,
it being driven to garage I'M
der its own power after the acct
dent.

START A NIGHT SCHOOL
Where Citizens May Have a
Chance to Learn American
Methods Free.

Within a few weeks a meeting
will be called in the village for
the purpose of promoting anight
school for aliens and foreigners
who desire to familiarize them
selves with the language and
methods of American citizens;
and also for those over school age
who have had no opportunity to
educate themselves in reading
and writing.
The move is a splendid one.
During the war with Germany,
at the time the draft boards were
in action, it was found that whole
communities were deficient in the
methods of American education
and also unable TO understand the
American tongue. Since then
different sections Of the state have
opened schools for the education
of the unfortunates who either
desired to become citizens or who
after they were citizens were I'M
able to talk United States"

Villas Wins First i'm the Potato Show
DIED AT KANSAS CITY
Announcement of l.. j. Dear
dorffs Death Received on
Saturday Morning.

In the announcement of the
death of L. ]. Dearborn of Kan
sas City last Saturday morning,
the true worth of Mr.. ID. was
demonstrated by the friends of
the family in this section OF the
lake region in their expressions
of regret at his sudden taking
away.
His death occurred IN a hOspi-
tai at Kansas City on Friday eve
ming after an illness which pre-
coded his leaving Eagle River
some five weeks ago. He suffered
an attack of flu during the latter
part of September, and was com
PEELED to remain indoors at his
summer home on Catfish for a
couple weeks before his depart
ure for Kansas City. Arriving at
Kansas City he Immediately en-
tered a hospital, but cOmplica-
lions developed and his death
'came last Friday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dearborn had
been residents of this section for
many years, owning a home on
Catfish lake where they spent the
vacation season each year from
May until October. His pleasures
in this section were that of a true
sportsman. He loved the waters
and the woods, and besides that
was an ardent devOtee of baseball.
For years past he owned one Of
the fast motor boats on the chain
of lakes, and occasionally would,
with some companion, leave for
a lengthy trip into the unbrOken
wilds of Wisconsin. His main
sport was baseball, and it was
rare that he failed to witness a
game where the Eagle River team
was a cOntending spirit. Upon
his arrival last summer he was
made manager of the Eagle River
ball team and continued IN that
capacity until the close Of the
season this fall.
The sympathies of every person
in this section goes out to Mrs.
Dearborn in the taking away of
her husband. This section, in
his death, loses a forward spirit
in community uplifting and he
will be missed from many a gath
erings where he was a leader for
anything that pertained TO the
advancement of this section, so
cially and for closer business re
latiOns.

ELECTION VERY QUIET
Lack of Interest Shown Over
Entire State-County Re-
publicans Sweep Field.

Yesterdays election in state
and county was an extremely quiet
affair, and the votes polled in vi
las county showed lack of inter
est in affairs for both branches.
The entire republican county
ticket was easily elected and
there was no excitement at any
period of the day. The polls
were like a Quaker meeting, far
different from what they were
years ago when election day"
meant something TO the candidate
and the voters. Then it was n
question of who had the longest
purse and greater amount of wet
goods and who could jockey the
votes his way at the last minute.
The principal contest in county
affairs were contestants for the
offices of treasurer and sheriff
Adams carried over Persohn for
treasurer by a big majority, and
Blohm beat Alton with a still
larger vote. Denton, democrat,
won the office of coroner, not
having any opposition on the re-
publican ticket.
The following will conduct the
county offices for the next term:
County Clerk-Mary Hong.
Treasurer-Chas. II. Adams.
Sheriff Chas. II. Blohm.
Coroner-A. A. Denton.
Clerk COurt-Hunter Case.
Dist. Atty.-Geo. +. O'COnnor.
