More PiCriC Acid Now
Ready for Farmers
BADGER FARMERS CAN GET Elk
PLOSIVE AT LOW PRICE OF
$1oe5 THE HUNDRED

Another large consignment Of sal
yaged picric acid has just been allott
ed to Wisconsin settlers for land clear
ng purposes.
Negotiations with government Off
Gals have resulted in making avail
ale several millions pounds of this
var surplus explosive now stored at
EFT. Wingate, New Mexico. Officials
Of the Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture are offering this to farmers at
very low figure $10.95 hundred
pounds where a carload is delivered
% one shipping point. This enables
The settlers of a community or county
to pool their orders and take advan-
age of the unusually low rate.
Through an arrangement made
with government representatives a
large supply Of salvaged blasting
caps has been secured. The states
land clearing officials are able to
supply one hundred caps with each
one hundred pounds of picric acid
Where an explosive is ordered
through county agents no local
freight on caps will be charged. Meth
er caps nor picric acid can be ordered
separately
John Swenehart, in charge of the
states activities in land clearing, an
nouces that when the present supply
of these explosives is exhausted or
ders with remittances will be return
ed.
Swenehart announces that Wiscon-
sin farmers have already used more
than two million pounds of this explo-
sive.
Swenehart states that in counties
which do not employ agricultural
agents or where the demand is less
than carload, orders may be placed
directly with his office. In such cases
delivery will be made by local freight
from nearby carload distributing
point and local freight charges will
be paid by the farmers who get the
material. He is urging farmers to
place their orders as promptly as
possible so as to insure delivery by
the time the explosives are needed.
He has found that bankers often ar
range for credit to enable the farmers
to place their orders.

Gov. Blaine Says Fines
Must ALI Be Collected
PRISONERS MUST BE FOUND
WORK If POSSIBLE-LAW
BEEN DIsREGARDED

Wisconsin's unique law, whereby
prisoners in counties where no work
houses are maintained must be re-
leased in custody Of employers if work
for them can be found must be enforc
ed, Governor John j. Blaine today adj
vised the seventy-one sheriffs of the
state. During the past two years a
number of sheriffs have neglected to
enforce this law, passed in 1917, to
the point where their removal from
office would have been justified, but
no action was taken, Blaine said.
All district attorneys of Wisconsin
were requested today by Governor
Blaine in letters to move the courts
cases Immediately after such penal
tiles are assessed. 'sThe school fund
of the state has been deprived of
great deal of money by the failure of
the court to direct an execution call
ing for the payment of the fine,
Blaine's letter said. The governor al
so called attention to the fact that if
a man on conviction is unable to pay,
and serves a Jail sentence in lieu
thereof, he is not relieved from salts
flying that part of the judgment i'm
posed in the fine.

Inter Sc Masquerade
Most Enjoyable Affair
ANNUAL EVENT SET NEW MARK
IN BIG ATTENDANT AND
NUMBER MASkERS

Last Friday evening saw the big
gest and best masquerade ball ever
staged by the Inter Sc. In point OF
attendance, number of maskers and
variety of costume the annual event
set new mark The floor was crowd
ed with masked dancers and all
other available space was filled with
spectators, making capacity atten-
dance.
To enumerate the many well pre-
pared DISCUSSES would be an endless
task, but the grand march just pre-
vious to the unmasking gave one the
opportunity to get an idea OF the
great number of maskers.
Three prizes were awarded, one for
the best comic, one for the best lady
costume and one for the best gentle
man. Max Ewald as Rip Van Wrinkle
easily captured the comic prize. Miss
Haynes, posing as a yelled Turkish
lady, was the choice of the judges
for the winning lady, and Joe Trinka,
disporting himself as a member of
the Turkish royalty, carried off the
gentlemen's prize. The judges had no
easy task in making their selection.
-Peterson's orchestra of Amigo, a
new organization in this part of the
country, played the music the dancers
liked and were generous with it, keep
ing the crowd in jovial mood all the
time 1t is a safe assertion that the
orchestra will secure more engage
ments here in the future.
AS is their custom, the Inter Sc
gave the masquerade as a benefit for
the Eagle River Band Complete fig
ures as to receipts and disbursements
are not yet available but will be print
ed in these columns when they are
obtained The large attendance insur-
es a neat sum for the band boys
which will be used to help pay off
the balance of their debt incurred in
purchasing new instruments last
year. Band members appreciate the eff
forts of the ladies in doing so much
for them.

BIRNAMWOoD TEAM

What promises to be the closest
game the local high school basket
ball five have scheduled so far this
season is billed for tomorrow (Fri
day. night when Birnamwood plays
here at Renk's hall.
Birnamwood has defeated Marion,
NATION and other speedy teams
down state and at the rate the home
boys have been travelling this season
basketball fans ought to see - rSasl
game The locals have not lost a
game this year and have succeeded
in piling up an enormous total against
their opponents. Without question
they will endeavor to uphold their re-
cord, and with the visitors equally
as anxious to add another win to
their credit, we predict the best game
local fans have seen.
The evenings program starts off
at 7:30 with good preliminary and
then comes the big game. After the
games the Junior class will hold a
basket social. Everyone is welcome
and invited to bring a basket Should
conditions warrant, a short dance
will wind up the evenings entertain
ment.
The expenses incurred in bringing
the Birnamwood team here are the
heaviest the athletic association has
undertaken this year, which means
that a full house will be necessary to
enable the boys to break even. With
the promise of the best game of tbs
season a capacity crowd is expected
Admission will be 35 and 20 cents.

ESTABLISH FARM BOARD

Establishment of a Wisconsin Farm
Valuation Board with the ultimate OBJ
ject of securing national board with
the power to fix farm prices was the
subject. of big farm legislative pro-
iect outlined at Madison asst week by
Senator A. E. Carey of Edgerton who
will father the bill. This is the first
big farm project to be brought before
the legislature and while actions
would be limited to Wisconsin should
the bill pass, it contemplates a SINH
lar national board with even greater
powers.
The objects and powers of the
board as outlined by Senator Carey
are:
1. To furnish farmers with scien-
tific data so that they may intelligent
ly understand at how great loss they
are compelled to market their pro
ducts.
2. To furnish reliable data for farm
pools and organizations.
8. To encourage and educate farm
ers and the public to demand the
creation of a national board with the
power to fix farm prices.

INDIANS BUSY

Practically every able bodied adult
male Indian on the Lac du Flambeau
reservation is employed this winter,
according to ]. M. Balmer, reservation
superintendent. Most Of the Indians
are engaged at logging being located
at lumber CAMPS throughout the north
ern part of the state. In the spring
they will resume farming on the reser
walton.
"The last few years have witnessed
a notable advance in the industrial life
of the Lac du Flambeau tribesmen,'
said Mr.. Balmer.
"They have become thoroughly i'm
bued with the spirit of thrift and man.
age to keep busy at some profitable
occupation during the entire year.
Many manage to save money from
their earnings. Some white men would
do well to follow the example of their
copper skinned, brothers"

A TIMELY STEP

Wisconsin stands first and foremost
among the dairy states.
Thus far, however, the producers
have centered largely on the develop
ment of their farm program. Now
they are turning to the money max
ing, business building side of the
dairy industry, to merchandising, mar
keting, advertising and publicity.
For the organization of a co-opera-
tive movement embracing these essen
tial points, a get together will be held
at Madison The country banker the
farmer and the business man will con
suit and confer for one outstanding
purpose, namely, to sell Wisconsin's
quality dairy products to the world.
In this the whole state is interested
for as the farmer prospers so prospers
the public.
AS groundwork for this new co
operative enterprise there are many
striking statistics, many talking
points for statesmen.
Wisconsin is first in the volume OF
milk produced, with record of 10
per cent of the total production in
the United States.
First in the total production of
cheese of all kinds, furnishing approx
mately two-thirds of all cheese made
- 4ba TTpifod Gtotoc
First in the production of American
cheese, with record of three-fourths
of all produced in the United States
First in the production of Swiss
brick and Muenster cheese. second in
the production Of limburger.
First in condensary products, turn
ing out one-fourth of the total produc
ton in the United States.
And just one step from first in the
production of butter, with II per cent
of all the creamery butter in the
United States to its credit.
The total value of Wisconsin dairy
products for the year ending June 80
1922, is conserYatlvely estimated al
$2OO,828,O 900.
Yet the farmers find dairying I'M
profitable, at any rate, it does not
bring the returns to which they feel
entitled.
For example, much Wisconsin but
ter is shipped out just as butter, then
handled by packers under quality
label and sold at fancy prices.
Now the farmers intend to get the
money for themselves.-E Editorial Mil

GRANT HADLEY PLEASED

The Grant Hadley Concert Com
pany, appearing as the third number
of the lyceum course at the opera
house Wednesday evening, met with
an appreciative reception from a full
house. Their program included all
that music lovers could wish from
classic selections down through the
list to popular ballads. In Mrs. Had
ley, her audience found remarkable
soprano, one of the best it has ever
been the pleasure of local people to
hear. She had a wonderful range and
finished technique in the most diff
cult of passages, singing with an ease
that made it pleasure to listen. Mr..
Hadley sings a basso that thunders
out on the heavy passages and yet is
remarkably mellow when the score de-
mands it. The young lady violinist
played all too little to suit her audi
ence being encored on every selection
The tenor and the pianist did their
parts equally as well, making a COM
pany that can produce satisfactory
entertainment anywhere.
