TWO METHODS OF GARDENING
Householder With Small Plot OF
Ground Must Follow Intensive Plan
to Get Best Results. r.

The intensive gardener has his solr
as fertile as possible. spaces the rows
closely and follows one crop by an
other the same year as often as pos
sible. Onion sets are thrust into the
ground wherever there is a. vacant
space, radishes are grown between
rows Of carrots and parsnips and are
gone before the later crops need the
space. Lettuce appears between cab
bage rows and even between plants
in the row, and peas and early turnips
are removed in time for late snap
beans.
The extensive gardener, on the other
hand, to whom time and labor are
more Of an item than land, lays out
his garden with long straight rows
spaced far enough apart for horse Gull
tivation, or at least for easy wheel-hoe
work. He need not feed his soil so
heavily nor does he pay so much at
tention to intercropping and success
sion crops as the man who has more
time than ground.

The Corded and Satin Faced Silks for Fall

Silk ideas for fall are still In q
formative stage, but two types of alb
ric stand out-the corded weaves and
the satin-faced constructions like satin
canton. Alpaca, one Of the new notes
this year in Paris, is frowned upon
by the American silk trade, although
recent Paris communication stated
that the French had metamOrphosed
the old alpaca into something supple
and becominglyS springy."
The tendency noted toward shiny
fabrics in the spring collections Is
finding it's reflection in this country,
and is a much stronger note at the
moment than the corded idea referred
Ito above, which is chiefly a fall propo-
sition. The use of satin canton is
presumably matter Of expediency,
rather. than following of any style
d:ctum. Manufacturers, after using a
great deal of satin canton, with the
dull side out, more than year ago,
then swung around TO fiat crepe, which
for a while was the dominant dress
material. Some houses, finding this
an unsatisfactory medium to work
with, cast about for substitute other
thaIsthe .overworked canton crepe, and
hit upon satin canton again.
The dull side is used more freely
than the lustrous surface for all-silk
dresses, and many silk manufacturers
have marveled ut the purchase of
satin-surfaced materials to use wrong
side out, but as a matter of fact, the
construction makes particularly love-

used. The satin, moreover serves as
trimming.
These heavier crepe materials are
seen more than the lightweight clothes,
but few sports dresses are made of

CHAPTER XIII
Out of the Darkness.


The butler seemed to expect us, and
showed us at once into the large room
in which the inquest had been held.
BARLEY placed his bag and the pack
age of states on small table in the
center of the room, Roche sat down
heavily in chair, and the rest of us
stood until Miss Potter entered. She
seemed to be expecting us also, and
for the first time, since had met her,
seemed almost at her ease. AS she
greeted us. the bell rang, and a mo
ment later the butler ushered in Doc
tor King. He glanced at BARLEY,
then gave us all word of greeting.
We seated ourselves around the
table with the exception of BARLEY,
who remained standing at one end.
He was different BARLEY from the
one who had laughed and joked with
us during the past few days. His face
was stern. and his tired eyes glanced
from one to the other of us soberly.
The butler brought in a glass of wa
ter and placed it on the table.
BARLEY waited until he had left the
room again before he spoke. his voice
low and hesitating:
II have brought you here tonight
at Miss Potter's request She be-
lieves that it is possible to get in
touch with the spirits of the dead,
and that we may receive message
from Mr.. Slyke that will tell us who
killed him. She has asked us to be
present as witnesses"
Currie looked at me as if he
thought that BARLEY had gone crazy.
| was too surprised to offer an excuse.
A glance at BARLEY showed that he
was in earnest, and sank back in
my chair bewildered. knew that he
did not believe in spiritualism,
though he was familiar with the ques-
don from all sides and had made a
special study of it. l was puzzled as
to why he should stoop to this pre-
tense. Doctor King seemed more

his shoulders and whispered some
thing to Roche. who in turn shook his
head.

He paused. then continued: "You
know it is believed by thousands that
messages from the spirit world are
written on states by unseen hands.
The test of the genulneness of such
messages is the absence of an oppor-
tunity for fraud on the part of the
medium, and the fact that it is in the
handwriting of the person who is be-
ieved to be sending them. If these
tests are met. we can then assume
that the message was not the work

time on Sunday, February 25th. DR..
Lloyd is an ex-chautauqua speaker of

Those who have heard him speak in
Eagle River speak in terms of high
praise of his talents as a speaker and
literary student and the congregation
of ST. Ignatius' feel themselves very
fortunate in securing his services and
feel that he will be a strong lever in
the upbuilding of interest and attend
ance at that church. Regular Sunday
services will now be held there at
hours noticed in the church card
which appears elsewhere. Judging
from all of the reports concerning his
sermons of the past two Sundays, we
feel justified in assuring all church
goers that they can spend any Sunday
morning to good advantage by going
and listening to him.

The tougnament at Rhinelander has
been postponed from this week until

epidemic of the flu at Rhinelander

School Board voted to postpone it.
This brings the Rhinelander tourna-

Home Town Paper Best
Farm Advertising Plan
PROVIDES LOCAL MARKET FOR
FARMERS WHO HAVE ITEMS
TO BUY OR SELL

The home paper is the first medium
which the average farmer should con-
slider for advertising. The farmer with
purebred livestock or pedigreed seed
grains will find his best market in
his home neighborhood. There is no
medium as effective for selling his
product as the home paper
The development of classified adj
vertising in the weekly paper has been
largely neglected. The farmer who has
a product which should be sold near
at home, can be profitably interested
in the classified column of his home
paper.
The display advertising columns of
the home paper are also an effective
medium for selling a quality product
in the home community. The live
stock card which once was run every
week for year, is not the most effec
tive sort Of advertising. Business men
have long since discovered that it
pays to change the copy. AS an adj
vertising advisor, Of the farmers of
your community, can you afford to neg
fleet the change in copy idea?
AS the successful farmers produc-
ton increases and his selling radius
is enlarged, the daily or county paper
is the logical advertising medium.
The paper that covers more than the
local community; that covers the adj
joining communities as. well, is the
second step in newspaper advertising
When one stops to consider that
about five per cent of all the live
stock in Wisconsin is purebred, and
realizes that 95 per cent consists of
scrubs and grades, the Importance of
the home market becomes manifest
The biggest market at present which
the Wisconsin advertising newspaper
man can show to his customer, the
Wisconsin farmer, is the home mar
kettle 95 per cent who, do not have
purebred livestock and pedigreed
seed grains.
AS the selling circle grows, and the
quality of the product is raised, and
the value of the product becomes
higher, and the voldme is sufficient
to stand a broadening of the sales
policy, the state farm paper which
covers the II counties in Wisconsin
becomes the logical advertising med
ium in addition to the community
paper. This is the third step in the
development of the Wisconsin farmer
as an advertiser
The final and fourth step in adver-
Using for the Wisconsin farmer comes
when his livestock has become high
priced; when his blood lines are fam
Gus; when his herds are known nat
ionally-he then can afford to adver
tise in the breed papers The breed
papers reach from $500 to 10000 of
the cream of the breeders in the
United States. It opens the nations
prize market among the producers
of the highest quality of purebred live
stock. 1t obviously is a waste of the
average farmers money to advertise
ordinary purebred livestock among
men who are looking for the highest
development in quality.

First Year Shows New
Body Made Good Start
REPORT c B PRESIDENT OF BOARD
OF TRUSTEES OF THE EAGLE
RIVER CEMETERY ASSOC.

At the annual meeting of the board
of trustees of the Eagle River Gene
terry Association held at the school
house Monday evening, the reports of
the secretary and treasurer were read
and approved and Mrs w H Bonner
Mrs. W. H. Radcliffe and R. Ewald
elected as trustees for the three
year terms to take the places of terms
expiring. The report showed a good
balance on hand and the association
is planning on a continuation and an
extension of the work which was for
the first time in the history of the
cemetery, last year, placed under
systematic plan of management.
The Association was organized in
May, 1922 solicited about 125 asso-
ciate members at $1.OO or more each.
There are 319 plotted lots in the
Cemetery, AZ are owned by the Assoc
iation, 81 are unidentified, SO are
owned by people whose addresses we
do not know.
160 assessment notices were sent
A few were returned unclaimed. 10
assessments have been paid. A few
are delinquent; perhaps others Ndid
not receive their notices.
A man was kept in the Cemetery
for about five months under supervi-
sion of some member of the Board.
Grabbing, moving, cleaning and some
leveling took up this time. Some own
ers of lots have not put their lots into
shape for mower as required by the
Statutes. The Board urges that this
work be done before Memorial Day.
Plans of theBoard for the future in
Guides water system, cleaning and
leVeling unplotted parts, building a
fence, laying out and improving road
ways. Work will begin in the spring
as soon as the weather permits.
Our budget for next year will be
somewhat as follows:
Labor by sections, $4,000 to 100000.
Fence, $4,000 to $500 (material on
hana)
Water System, $4,000 to 100000.
Plotting, $4,000
This totals $1,000 to $14OO without al
LOVING for work on roadways. The us
uaI sources @of income should produce
about $4,000 leaving $4,000 or more
to be n other sources
The Board offers special vote of
thanks to Mr.. C. H. Wiegand and Mr.
Jonas Radcliffe for legal services, Civ
