could be avoided by using il only dur

cheaper soft coal can be used almost
as successfully. Many persons ar

soft coal the coming winter. In cities
where it Is obtainable others will use
crude oil as a substitute. A year or

HARD COAL SCHEMERS
NEED A LESSON

Newspaper reports indicate that
hard coal miners will strike Sept. LIST
for more pay. The public Is gradual
ly coming to the belief that the dis
agreements of owners and miners is
a p"rearranged scheme to force up the
price of their product. 1t is now up

of defense that seems practicable.

possible, and use other fuel. 1t can

by G. H. Carroll with maCarOni wheat
has proved a success and he expects
to plant a good field of it next year.
This is the only effort, we believe in
this county with the new wheat. 1t
is claimed to be harder and can
stand the drouth much better thar
the American wheat.
S. Pauly has applied for a franchise
or permit, which is all that the town
can grant to build an electric light
plant. He is making preparations
for the construction of the building
now. There is no reason why Mr..
Pauly should not succeed in his ven
ture and we hope he will. The town
should have at least a half dozen
street lamps and nearly every resi-
dence in Miller should have a set of
incandescent lamps. The cost will
be considerably less than oil lamps
and the light is better in every way.

LOW ZINC ORE PRICES
FORCE MINES TO CLOSE

PLATTEVILLE.-O so per cent
of the zinc mines in the Platteville
district are operating, and most OF
those with small forces. The other
half are shut down altogether, Low
prices which zinc commands and q
dig surplus on hand in the Missouri
district are said to be the cause for
this condition.
So large supply of ore is on hand
in the Missouri district, that all the
mines shut down for week recently
to cut down the output, but stlll
further working down of the over
stock will be necessary before the
effects are noticeable here,
The two large sulphuric acid man
ufacturing plants at Mineral Point
and Cuba City are running day and
night and are consuming a great
amount Of low grade zinc ore, and but
for the demand created for ore from
this source the situation would be
still worse. The demand for acid IS
good and both plants intend to oper-
ate with large forces all winter. Very
little high grade ore, which now COM
mands $43.50 a ton, is being produc-

HOUSE SQUARE
CASSVILLE WRITER
.SA YSsBUYATHOM
Especial to the Herald

Inc growing tendency of residents
IN the smaller towns to do their trad
ing and shopping in the cities may
nave some bearing on, and account
to some extent for the unreasonable
difference between the purchasing
power of the farmers dollar and the
selling price Of his product. While
IN no way wishing to enter into a po-
litical discussion, it is nevertheless a
fact that the farmers dollar does not
reach as far as the dollar of the pur-
chaser of his products. The argu-
ment has been advanced that the
jobber and manufacturer and in
many cases the dealer and retailer
are responsible and that they must
adjust their prices in order to better
equalize conditions. Now to illus
trate Shoppers going to the city
find prices of wearing apparel, fur
niture, hardware, ETC., extremely
high. In some instances, rather than
have the customer leave without
making purchase, the price is re-
duced sometimes so per cent. In
other instances no reduction is made
whatever. That the retail price is
outrageous in either case is demon
strated by the fact that dealers IN
small towns-say Cassville-sell the
same, identical article from 40 to so
per cent less than their city competi-
tors, and yet realize a profit. This is
not idle talk or prattle for this fact
was prove here locally last week III
several instances. Parties residing
near Dubuque came here to price
rugs, hardware and furniture, after
having made similar pilgrimages 10
the city. They were dumb-founded to
find the price on these various articles
so much below those quoted by the
large city dealer that they were in
clined to be skeptical as regards the
quality Here they were again pleas
antly surprised to learn that the
goods were identical in every respect.
Result: The local merchants-Cass-
vile again-made sales which rose
into four figures and have not only
gained the confidence of these new
customers, but have been assured OF
more patronage from that immediate
neighborhood. Merchants in all the
smaller towns sell far below the city
dealer, yet many people in the small
towns journey to the city for bar
gains"

Foster Porter and DR.. r. M. Carter
departed early Sunday morning by
automobile for Tripoli, Wis, where
Fuller Porter teaches school, to hunt
deer this week We hope they may he
successful in getting at least one deer
especially as we have been promiS-
ed a venison feed in case they do.
Joseph Powers of Fennimore, was a
Bloomington caller Sunday and III
conversation with an old friend here
stated his conviction that there was
oil down in the bowels Of the earth
underneath Grant county, in the Vi
cinitv of Animation Mr. Powers is so
sure Of his ground that he expects TO
soon take steps to have two holes
drilled down to the oily regions, and
SAYS if local capital cannot be OBTAIN
ed, he can get the necessary money IN
the east.
The Joe Greer family returned
home last week from their seasons
work with the Sells-FlOtO circus and
expect to be here until February, at
which time they go to New York City
to join the Ringling-Barnum & Bailey
show at Madison Square Garden. Joe
is convalescing from a very severe
kick over the heart that horse gave
him a couple of weeks ago, and WhlcE
kept him in a Texas hospital for sew
eral days. Their dozen trained horses
arrived here a couple of days later
and are at Joe's barn in the village
Record.
While crossing the street at Hos
kins' store, today, Chas. Hale was run
into by horse and fell to the ground,
cutting one of his cheeks and inJur-
ing his side. Mr.. Hale is near sight
ed and somewhat deaf and did not
see the horse, which was driven by
children.
While exact figures are not obtain
able, and the village board has taken
no action on the question, it is PROB
able that the tax rate for the village
of Bloomington this year will be
about 31@o, or So mills. The rate
last year was go. The increase is
due to the initial payments for the
new school building voted last Octo-
Der. The school expense is over $22,-
900 as compared with $11,5OO last
wear. The village expenses are small
er than last year, there is small de-
crease in the state and county taxes.
So prepare to pay about $50 for every
ST 900 of property assessed to YOU
