AWNINGS

r VIKINGS used to be found only
on the fronts of stores down
LII town. Dwelling houses had
blinds which were closed to keep out
the hot sun. Blinds are disappearing
except for ornamental purposes and
today a first-class apartment house
without awnings could scarcely find
tenants. This has caused an increase
in awning sales and made them a
part of the equipment of many house
holds.
The iron frame, the canvas and
other materials in awnings take SO
cents from every dollar which the
awning manufacturer receives, &C
cording to government figures. Thir-
teen cents goes for labor. Twenty
eight cents is the share Of profit and
overhead including taxes.
When the awning makers get a 10
per cent wage raise it adds LIZ cents
to every dollar which the manufac-
turer must charge for his product.
When his material goes up 10 per
cent it adds SO cents.

The average cost of hogs at the

ably a nickel lower than on Satur-
day, due to fairly heavy receipts OF

steady to 10 cents lower, the top
having been a dime lower at $7.15

haps that much lower. A few hogs

IN the market was discounting a
period OF ample business activity

ten points from its recent low.

Considerable irr~egularity developed
toward the end of the first hour when
heavy proft-taking came into stocks
prominent on last weeks advance.
But a few groups continued to move
ahead while this selling was being
absorbed Sugars were especially
strong, many traders buying stocks of

theory that good prices will lbe OBJ

Second Hour
Stocks moved irregularly in the

is SEEKING TAX RELIEF
Assemblyman Mark Sponsors
Several Bills Affecting the
Northern Counties.

Madison. Wis. Feb. 1.-two
bills directly affecting Villas coun-
e. were introduced in the lower
house of the Wisconsin legisla-
mrc this week by Assemblyman
Il. NJ Mark, Hurley.
One bill would authorize the
commissioners of public lands TO
hold hearings in Villas county re-
garding state lands. The county
board or a district would have
the right to ask the commission
ers to put up certain parcels OF
land for sale. AT the present
time the statutes do not permit
the land commission TO make sale
of any of the purchased school
lands or other lands.
To relieve Villas county's burden
of maintaining the state high
ways, an appropriation of $4,000
was asked in another bill by Mr.
Mark. Approximately 400 of the
land in Villas county is state-own'
ed and therefore, tax exempt. The
appropriation asked would equa'
lie the tax problem and shift
part of the load the county has
been carrying onto the state.
Another bill of interest to vi
las county as well as to all coun
ties in the state was also intro
duced. II would empower county
boards 10 borrow money on tal
titles TO tide them over for ;
short period.

Picric Acid for Farmers
Villas County Land Ciearers Can Secure Supply

More cleared acres in sight in
Northern Wisconsin.
The farmers of the county are
offered a share of an allotment OF
picric acid at a very low figure.
County agents have just been no
titled that where a carload Is de-
Iivered to one shipping point, this
war surplus explosive will be
available at Sl095 a hundred
pounds with no extra for 100
blasting caps.
Another large consignment Of
the explosive has just been allot-
ted Wisconsin settlers for land
clearing purposes. Negotiations
with government officials have re-
suited in making available sever
al million pounds of this war sur
plus explosive now stored at Fl.
Wingate, New Mexico. Officials
of the Wisconsin College of Agri-
culture are offering this to farm
ers.
1t is through an agreement
with government representatives
that a large supply of salvaged
blasting caps has been secured.
Where the explosive is ordered
through county agents no local
freight on caps will be charged.
Neither caps nor picric acid can
be ordered separately.
John Swenehart, in charge OF
the states activities in land clear
ing, announces that when the
present supply of these explosives
is exhausted, orders with remit
tances will be returned. He is
calling the attention of all land
clearing agencies to the fact that
both the picric acid and the caps
are war supplies and that 1t is inn
probable that the products could
be furnished commercially at the
prices quoted After Wisconsin
and the other cut-over states have
consumed the available surplus oil
war explosives it will, of course
be necessary to return to the use
of regularly manufactured mater
ials.
According [ announcement.
just issued by Swenehart, the ex
