The functions Of building and

ed this week TO members Of the
\. M. G. A. real estate class by
G. Clinton James, president Of
the local council.
In connection with Gown Your
Own Home Day." Mr.. James
declared that building associa-
tions have been pioneers in
teaching thrift. These organi-
cations encourage thrift through
out the nation, he said.
Through the system Of amor
tization in which the building
and loan associations were
pioneers they have made their
assets sound and worthy Of con-
fidence, " Mr.. James pointed
out. Through loans principally
upon homes they are an instru-
mentality not only in solving
the housing problem, but an aid
in developing . greater citi-
zenry.

NEW YORK, April 30.--Tex Rick ard has denied emphatically the as- sertion made in some quarters that he has Luis Firpo tied to one year contract as his manager. The truth of the matter is that the Madi- son Square Garden promoter has an agreement with the giant Argentin- ian over this stretch of time, but only as a prospective opponent for Cham pion Jack Dempsey.
 The only other contract Ric&arl has made with Firpo is his May F engagement with Jack McAuliffe H., one of the star 15-rounders in con nection with the Milk Trust Fund Show at the Yankee Stadium. Jess

INCREASE IN COUN-
TVS VALUATION
Iron County's Assessed Valuation Is
Over Three Millions Greater
Than Last Year.

The assessed valuation of all pro-
perty in Iron county for 1923 is
8,120,792, according to figures of
Pearce Tomkins, assessor of incomes,
presented to the board at the meet
ing held Tuesday. This is an in
crease of $3,436,918 over the 1922
assessment, when the total for the
county was S14,683,874.
The increase in the total assessed
value of the county this year is
largely the result of the ~aassess-
ment of property in the c..y of
Hurley, although a substantial in
crease is also noted in the village of
Hamilton. There may be a change
in the figures after the meeting of
the special board of review for the
city of Hurley which will be held
Dec. 10, unless the board ratifies the
city of Hurley reassessment as
made by assessors appointed by the
state tax commission.
Assessor of Incomes Pearce
Tomkins figures for the total as
sessed value of the county were re-
ferred to the equalization com
mittee. This committee held a
meeting Wednesday afternoon but
did not come to any agreement.
Whether the figures will be approved
by the equalization committee will
be determined at a later meeting.

DISTRIBUTION OF SODATOL
HAS BEEN COMPLETED
Farmers in Sixty-Eight Wisconsin
Counties Benefited by Sale of
New Explosive.

The distribution of sodatol by the
Agricultural Engineering Depart
ment has been practically completed
for this fall says a Madison dispatch.
In the aggregate 68 counties have
been benefited by this work. Since
August /, between 5000 and 10000
farmers have been supplied with 112
car loads aggregating 2,105,000
pounds. Although actual de-
liveries to farmers did not begin
until September q orders were re-
ceived for 1852, 900 pounds of this
war salvaged explosive before any
material was available for demon
stration. This is worth noting as
exemplifying the attitude of the
farmers in going ahead to purchase
this new material on the basis of the
recommendation of the college.
The very low price of $5.95 per 100
pounds, f. o. b. cartridging point,
has led to its unusually widespread
distribution. In the older developed
southern counties 100000 pounds
have been used in clearing out fields,
removing stone, etc.
This sodatol distribution supple
ments the distribution of 1890
pounds of picric acid which was used
in the spring of this year. John
Swenehart states that these war ex-
plosives used this year (3,435, 900
pounds) and 100000 blasting caps
have cost the farmers Of the state
about $53O,O00 less than would have
been paid out by them if they had
purchased an equivalent amount of
standard explosives in their respec-
tive regions at the prevailing prices.
The influence of these cheap mater
ials, so essential in land clearing, is
enabling many farmers to make their
stump lands more productive at a
minimum cost.

and test at the laboratories of the
General Motors Research corpor-
alton in Dayton, and has met with
enthusiastic reception from motor
lists in Dayton and in Cincinnati.
Ohio, where it has been placed on
sale at a few stations.
Ethyl gas has a characteristic
light wine color, which distinguishes
it from other automobile fuels.
Distribution by the Standard Oil
company of Indiana will cover the
states of Indiana, Michigan. Illinois,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota,
and North Dakota, as quickly as in
stallation can be made, This in
stallation will be started in Indiana
and carried through Illinois, into
Missouri and Kansas The
southern part of the distributing
territory is being equipped this
winter and the northern part will be
equipped as early as possible in the
spring, in order that motorists may
be supplied when the 1924 motoring
season opens. First installation will
be made in Standard Oil company Of
Indiana service stations. 1t is be-
lieved that all stations will be open
and ready to supply o'!,yl gas by
July 1, 1924
There are 96S towns and cities in
the eleven states mentioned, where
one or more service stations is
operated. Bulk distributing facilities
