The Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks, Freight Hand
lers, Express and Station En-
ployes, whose membership six years
ago totaled less than 5000, on La
Dor Day dedicated a handsome new
building, located in Cincinnati,
which will house it's headquarters
and it's own bank. The bank will
be operated ON the cooperative
plan. Stockholders are restricted
to dividends of ten per cent, and
profits in excess of ten per cent
are divided among depositors. Be
fore the clerical employees of the
railroads were organized it is we'll
known that they were the most
subservient, the most imposed up
on, the poorest paid among the
great army Of men and women
who transport the nations COM
merce. Today they enjoy that in
dependence which makes men
better citizens and better work
men.

snowfall last winter at that place
was 10 inches above normal. Port
land, Me-, came within half an
inch last winter of having it's re-
cord snowfall, which was 1855
inches way back in 1886. The
greatest snowfall experienced at
Salt Lake City was in the winter
of 1916 and 1917 and the second
and third greatest have occurred
since then. Cheyenne had less
snow in 1885 than any year on re-
cord, while at Boston, Mass, one
must go back to 1875 to- find the
winter it had the least snow, the
total fall for that winter at Bos-
ton being only 5 inches. From
these records it is safe to promise
the Riddles they will have lots of
this winter, and for all
the winters yet to come.

In other days, when people were
poorer and get-rich quick schemes
were not so plentiful one of the
favorite games of the sharper was
to work the missing he'll" or "un-
claimed estate" scheme. This had
lost much of it's popularity since
oil and gold stock came ON the
market in abundance, but we un-
derstand from one lola citizen that
only recently neighbor had a let
ter from one of the gentlemen
who wants him to become inter
ested in getting back a lost es-
tate" Of course it is vast estate,
and if the local man got even a
half of the share + presented as
coming to him ne wouldn't need
to work another lick. He dldn t
fall for it, but tore the letter up
and threw the scraps away. lie
was right in ignoring the scheme
but wrong in destroying the let
ter. Such documents should be
turned over to our postmaster
that he might forward them to
Washington. Very often Uncle
Sam is glad to do a little investl-
gatin on his own hook, and such
letters are one of the means he

The mechanical eye of the avia-
tors camera is adding materially
to our knowledge of prehistoric
man. Primitive disturbances of the
soil may have disappeared so COM
pletely as to leave no trace what
ever on the surface, and yet are
plainly visible from airship. The
so-called Avenue" leading from
the famous monuments of Stone
henge, near Salisbury, England,
has now been traced as far as the
River Avon by means of aerial
photographs and later vertical
tions made by pedestrians. 1t is
now believed that the stones were
taken from the Prescelly Hills in
Pembrokeshire and brought by sea
up the river Avon to a point near
Stonehenge where they were taken
overland to Stonehenge by means
of a newely discovered avenue
which follows the gentlest slopes
up from the river.

PROFIT FROM TOURIST
Highway Commission Esti-
mated Wisconsin Received
$25,OOO,OOO This Year

Sz5,OoO0OO year out of it's tour
lists. 49,
Besides the Wisconsin cars that
tour the state there were &c. 400
cars from other states that were
driven into the state during the
most popular days of summer
These are findings of the state
highway commission which lust
completed its all-summer survey of
the states touring business.
The 29,4O9 cars were all counted
on one day, Aug. 3, in various cen
ters. OF the state and all duplica-
tons were carefully eliminu II
with cars naturally escaping the
count the commission feels certain
That there were more than 10000
cars IN the state on that date.
Serving tourist business is fast
becoming one of the principal in
dustrles. of the state whose impor-
lance IS not generally appreciate
ca, the commission declares. It
Is estimated that a daily average
OF 10000 a day was in Wisconsin
for a To-day period.
From the information secured
through tourists, it is estimated
that the occupants of the average
tourist automobile spend at least
Sl5 daily per car during their So
EJourn In the state" the commits
sion declares. This would mean
an average daily expenditure by
out OF state tourists of S45O,OOO
and of 45,000,000 for the one year
Ii ~ per cent of this represents
profit, 1T means an average daily ex-
penditure of 100000 through this
source alone. Many other tourists
come into the state by train
Though 1T is currently reported
that passenger business is rapidly
being cut down through automo-
bile traffic, the principal railroads
OF the state still continue to run
their special trains to the principal
tourist centers and thousands OF
people still come to the Wisconsin
resorts by train. In addition tc
the out OF state tourists are the
| Wisconsin people who choose tC
do their touring in their home
state. 1t is conservatively estimat
ed that this is more than double
the touring of the state residents
and that total profits resulting
through tourist business is in ex
cess Of $25,000,000 annually. This
is more than three times the tota
amount expended annually by the
state in all of its highway activi
ties

Recently two French soldiers
were bathing in the Rhine River.
Since they were unable to swim,
the soldiers were in a serious con-
dition. A young German, who was
watching, swan out and rescued
both of them. The French Trib-
unal, to reward him, promised that
anything he asked would be grant
ed. He asked that the lives of
seven men, who had been con-
demned to be shot for causing
trouble to the French authorities,
might be spared. The request was
granted.

field that is likely to grow better
IN the next decade. The shrewed
young man, IN deciding what bus
mess or profession he wants 70
follow, will be wise not to 90 Will,
the crowd"
Yet, Dean Russell warns that
there IS no favorable outlook for
the inefficient man anywhere. and
especially will that be true in agri-
culture. 1t is true today that the
farmer who knows how to utilize
scientific methods is getting. lare-
er profits The result is the same
in the several states in which
careful Investigations have been
made. In Wisconsin study Of
825 farms by the university dis
closed the average total income
per farmer, according to the edu-
cation received. as follows:
Education of Animal
Farmers Income
Common school --- s.. $40
Short course in agriculture 1880
High school -- 2 1913
College ------------L---- 2,436
The young man who prefers to
follow the call Of the soil cannot
afford not to make his first invest
ment in agriculture an education
unless he is willing to join the
ever shifting crowd, dependent
upon a hand-to mouth existence.
The Journal, as does Dean Rus
sell, makes it clear that in order
to make a success at farming one
must be educated to the work.
Farming, more so than most any
other, requires a knowledge of
science, economics, ETC., and yet
some people have an idea that all
one needs is a strong back and a
weak mind, ant ~ be a far
mer. Some even oppose the hir-
ing of a county agent, who is vir-
tually university instructor
brought right to the farm. But
times are changing. The need of
education for the farmer is being
recognized more and more. 1t is
the one essential that means
greater prosperity for the farmer

COUNTIES PAYS LESS
State Taxes Said to be Near
ly Million Dollars Lower
Than Last Year.

0eN'A0Oi, w -OCdIG TAXES are
1881 ,563.92 lower than at the last
assessment, the state tax rolls GER
titled to the II counties of Wiscon-
SIN on Monday, showed.
The new tax rolls show that
there will be raised a total of S.
222,526 this year as against S6,110,-
O89.92 required last year.
The big difference comes in the
university mill tax. With a rate
OF three-eighths of mill for the
university there would be a total
OF Sl,817,53 But Gov. John J.
Blaine RENTED S1,115,000 in taxes
and with this subtracted there
only remains $702,537 to be raised
Tor this purpose. Last year there
was mill tax total for the uni
versity of S1,749,153 on the rolls.
The certifcations sent to the
counties today by Secretary of
State Fred r. Zimmerman show
that, S144, 459 must be raised to pay
certificates of Indebtedness; $175,-
600 for free high schools; S230,000
for state graded schools; $780, 37
mill taxes for the university; $780,
794 in mill taxes for the normals;
So, 1926 in mill taxes for the
common schools.
There must also be included
S049,7O6.36 for the support of the
charitable and penal institutions
of the state a part on which each
county pays in proportion to the
number of inmates the county has
in the institutions.
Each county in the state pays
toward the taxes to be raised in
proportion to the value of the
property in the county as fixed by

assessment.
