 In these flying leaps and in the race up the tree, the monkey babe always lay flat, slung under the mother. its hands and feet grasping the mothers fur.s
 Once, standing quietly on Jungle. path, I saw female of this tribe sitting on limb with her back to- ward me.

Smyrna Town Council should
get busy and make all approach
es to the Boulevard as attractive
as possible. Main Street at
Lake Como should be graded
and mecadamed clear to the ce-
ment road. Commerce street
should be mecadamed from curb
to curb from East street to the
Boulevard, the street raised and
all the gutter bridges removed
and put to grade. Mt. Vernon
and North streets should be
opened thru to the Boulevard.
By doing these it will give easy
access to the center of town

streets to relieve congestion and
would distribute traffic material

Farmers in some parts of the
country, says the Morning News
of Wilmington, are preparing to
do what manufacturers do when
they have too large a supply and
when market conditions are not
good-they cut down their out
put and quickly adjust them
selves to the prevailing condi-
tions.
'It is said that Oklahoma this
fall will see a forty per cent. re-
duction in the acreage of wheat.
Should this example be followed
by farmers in other parts of the
country the problem about the
low price of wheat will be solved
The difficulty is, however, to get
the farmers to act in unison.
They cannot all be reached, and
one trouble is, when a great re-
duction in the acreage of wheat
or any other crop is noised
abroad a large number, believ-
ing themselves to be crafty, an
ticipating a shortage, will plant
heavily, so the yield in total may
be increased instead of dimin-
ished.
Another strange thing about
it is that apparently no particu-
lar persons, unless the manu-
facturers of wheat products, get
any benefit from the low price
of wheat. The prices of wheat
products are held up with some
bakers and others saying that
the cost of the raw material is
so slight that a reduction can
not affect the price of bread
This kind of talk is the reverse
of that at the time when whear

A WHALE FOR RESULTS
Charley Fish of Elcho Does
More in Day in Building
Than Paul Bunyan and
Crew.

Leave it to Chas. w. Fish Of
Elcho to do things with a rush,
and do EN- right. He believes in
getting a thing over with in the
least possible time, and in first
class condition or not at all.
Last winter fire broke out in one
of the principal blocks of the vii
lage of Elcho, wiping out almost
every building. Across the street
stood the c. &. N. w. depot, and
1T went with the other buildings.
Some few weeks ago Fish got
busy, and today the business block
IS finished and no evidence of the
fire is noticeable to the traveller.
Hiring all of the carpenters the
job would stand, he rushed in ma
terial, and in jig-time had his vii
lage again in operation.
Across from this block was the
depot fire, and with it's temporary
quarters, cast a rather black spot
upon the progressiveness of the
village. Did Chas. w. remain idle,
and await the machinery of the
railroad to get into action and
erect another depot? Not he.
Boarding a train he met up with
the proper representative of the
road, and made them a proposition
to erect a depot of modern design
something in fitting with the
surroundings of his spotless little
village gave them an iron clad
guarantee that it would be finished
within specified time (and that
was mighty short, bullieve mel
and secured the contract.
To make a story the proper
length, Fish and his men will have
the finest depot finished within
few weeks, one would care to see
anywhere, and it is simply because
OF the fact that Chas. w. Fish be-
lleves In doing thing we'll and
without any horns blowing to tell
the people what he is doing.
Any town with that sort of
man or men, will forge to their
proper place in front-and you
can't hold 'em back.
Some fellow who has studied the
situation at Elcho, likens Charley
Fish and his men as a second edi-
ton of Paul Bunyan and his fam
Gus crew of lumberjacks. And that
comparison is not belittling to
Mr., Fish or his citizens, either.

RESEMBLES THE LOOP
Afternoons and Evenings
Wall Street in Eagle River
is Congested to Capacity.

Every afternoon and evening,
Wall street in Eagle River gives
one the appearance of the famous
loop" district in Chicago. Con-
gested to the limit, still it is de-
void of accidents of any kind.
That is due undoubtedly to the alb
sence of speed demons.
Wall street is naturally a trlfe
narrow since Old Dobbin has dis
appeared and Fords and Rolls
Royce have taken his place in
traffic rules and regulations. When
the cars park head in to the
curbs, there is easy room for two
cars going opposite directions to
pass safely Once in a great while
there is a slight collision due to
a new driver mixing himself on
signals; again some fellow will
mess up all the "rafic for several
minutes, but good naturedly it is
untangled and everybody smiles.
When the census on automobiles
IS taken Friday of this week, it
will surely be found that auto
traffic in Eagle River is not very
many jumps behind cities thrice
its size.
