Ford Won the Battle.

In wrecking contest last week
Tuesday night between a Ford
coupe and a high TENSION line
pole, the former came out away
ahead of the game. Barring a
twisted crank, the Ford escaped
damage. Not the ten-inch electric
line pole; it was broken in two
pieces and shunted several feet
off the highway when the car
struck it. Some fellow from out
around the Evergreen school house
missed the fill just south of the
Alfors farm on highway 80 while
going at high speed, jumped
the vacancy and crashed into the
pole. 1t broke the circuit and

HE BOOSTS DAIRYING
"Sor' Levitan, State Treasur-
er, Declares Farmers Flu
ture is Stock.

Leave the soil right side UP
and devote your attention to dairy
ing, was the advice of State
Treasurer Levitan to an assembly
of farmers at Burke last Friday
Ievening.
Many pillow farmer who failed
of success through the pillow meth
cd of agriculture failed and then
made success by the use of cat
tie ON sodded fields, he declared.
Years ago an old Indian stood
watching his pale face neighbor
turning UP neat burrows with his
white mans plow' Mr.. Levitan as
serted.
Him wrong side up" the Indian
had declared.
The farmer laughed and went
on with his blowing, but years lat
er, after successive crop failures,
he recalled the Indians warning"
Mr.. Levitan said, and realized
that he had been turning too much
OF his soil 'wrong-side up"
Then he turned to dairying, let
his cattle Craze on the fields that
had failed him, and prosperity
came to his farm to stay. Many
of our Wisconsin communities are
farming wrong side up. They
have been putting their reliance
on other crops, which in good
seasons may pay big, but at other
times may be total loss. At the
very best they have become a gam
BILE, The dairy cow however, is
never a gamble. She produces a
cream check regularly every month
or twice a month. The dairy cow
IS the saving factor in Wiscon-
SIM"
We need more good dairy COWS
in every county in Wisconsin. Sta
tlstics show US that there are less
dairy cows per capita population
of the United States in 1923 than
there were in 1900. And yet our
countrys population is growing by
leaps and bounds. We must have
more dairy products if our food
supplies are to keep pace with our
rapidly growing population"
Mr.. Levitan told of the develop
ment of Green county, which after
successive crop failures went into
the dairy business with the result
that it is now one of the most
prosperous sections of the country.
We Wisconsin folks need to
learn that the dairy COW is our
gold mine. The value of the
dairy products produced annually
In that state exceed the value of
the total gold output of the coun-
try.
I'VE can double that dairy out
put for Wisconsin and double our
share of the prosperity tina comes
with it if every farmer will get
back of the dairy cow. Better
leave more of our acres right side
up for the cattle to pasture on.
Well have more prosperous farm
ers all around"

7. f. THACKER DIES
OF HEART TROUBLE
BURIED WEDNESDAY

T. E. Thacker, one of the best
known men of the Hopi Indian reser-
vation, suddenly dropped dead of
heart failure at the Weepo sheep dip
last Monday evening while he was
overseeing the dipping of several
bands of sheep.
Mr. Thacker, who had been subject
to heart trouble from time to time,
had been overseeing the dipping all
day Monday, apparently feeling all
right About 6:15 p. m. while he
with his son-in-law, Fletcher Corri-
gan, and some Indians were separat-
ing some sheep, he suddenly fell over
on his face. When Mr.. COrrigan
reached him, he was dead
The body was taken to Keam S
Canyon that night through the help
of r. E. L. Daniel, superintendent of
the Hopi reservation, and several of
his employees; then it was brought
t. Winslow Tuesday night. The peo
pie of the reservation were unstint-
ing in their efforts in taking care
of the body.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Winslow Undertaking Parlor
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
Rev. W. l.. Martin of the Christian
church officiating. Burial was in the
local cemetery. The deceased is
survived by his wife, Mrs. Ethel
Thacker who lives at the family home
at Oraibi; his daughter, Mrs. Fletch-
er Corrigan, who also lives at Oraibi;
and his sister, Mrs. Mary Dye of
this city.
Mr. Thacker would have been So
years old had he lived until Decem-
Der s. He was born at Fort Craig
New Mexico. Practically all his life
was spent among the Indians of the
Southwest. He has conducted trad
ing stores for Lorenzo Hubbell for
the past twenty years. Mr.. Thacker
was a very influential man among
the Indians; and during his life
among the aboriginees he had come
to know them and was one of the
best informed men of their customs
in this region. He was also a shrewd
judge of Navajo blankets and an ex
pert Indian interpreter acting as
such on many important missions.
His loss will be long felt on the re-
servatiOn.

COAL SUBSTITUTES
TO BE URGED HERE
Consumers Will Be Allowed
Only so Per Cent of Hard
Coal Needed.

The Public Utilities Commission
| within the next few days will send
postal cards to all householders, urg-
ing upon them the necessity for buy
ing some substitute for hard coal.
such as briquettes, coke or lump soft
coal.
The card will call attention to the rule
that no consumer VIII be allowed more
than 60 per cent of the amount Of hard
coal he normally uses. and that the
remaining 40 per cent must consist OF
one of the substitutes.
A new report received by the COM
mission today from the Pennsylvania
fuel commission shows that the Dis
trict's anthracite shortage had been
reduced to 1857 tons on December 10.
This means. however. that the city
is nearly 5000 tons short OF SO per
cent of last years hard coal receipts.
Although the shortage in anthracite
is being gradually reduced, washing
ton is certain to receive only 90 Per
cent of normal requirements.
The weather has been so favorable
thus far that few householderS have
given thought to the fact that toward
the end of the winter they VIII nave
to take substitutes, coal men say.
The report received by the local
commission today from Pennsylvania
shows that 1887 tons of anthracite
reached Washington during the week
ended December Is. The Districts
weekly allotment is 1858. Thus.
during that week, the shortage was
reduced by more than 1000 tons.
Last winter this city used b3o,67o
tons of anthracite. The so per cent
allotted the District this year as q
result of the strike amounts to 3d.
398 tons. These figures. coal men
say, should convince householders
of the necessity of using some sub
stitutes.
Robert l. Lewis, secretary TO the
Coal Merchants Association, stated
today that while soft coal shipments
have fallen on recently. the situation
with respect to bituminous fuel Is
not Serious at this time. It would
become critical, he added, II a spell
of severe weather should come before
shipments pick up.
The falling off in soft coal receipts
is due. Mr.. Lewis said, to diflcul ties
