Tentative plans were made at Mad
ison last Friday for pushing Wiscon-
sin Dairy Products, the purposes OF
which are to develop better mer-
chandising system for dairy products,
which will include organization,
standardization, packing, labelling
and advertising. The dairymen and
bankers of the state are the only
ones who can become members. An
nual membership fees for the years
1923-1924 will be the money received
for one average days milk in June
for the dairyman, and one-tenth of
one per cent of the capital stock for
the banker. Cards for joining this
organization can be procured at this

products, and should receive the beni-
fits from this organization" said

the railway crossing on the approach
to the interstate bridge at Hudson.

to cross the tracks when the local
freight, drawn by two engines, and
speeding up to make the steep grade
toward River Falls, came suddenly
into view from behind the buildings
along the track.
Swerving the car sharply to the left
into a snow bank, the Doctor managed
to keep off the track, while the train
whizzed past within few inches of
the rear of the machine, which had
skidded almost onto the rails.

OIL STATION THIEVES
AGAIN OPERATE HERE

Sometime between 6 and 10 o'clock
last evening would-be thieves broke
into the High Grade Oil Co. filling
station, corner of Main and Maple
streets, in fruitless search for cash.
Gaining entrance by smashing a
basement window they pried open
money drawers in an amateurish,
buhgling manner, and scattered files
and papers about the rockns, but as
the days receipts had been removed
when the place was closed for the
night, their search brought no con
vertable returns.
George Currier returned to the sta
ton about 10 o'clock and discovered
the evidence of attempted burglary.
1t was fortunate that he did return,
for the night was bitter cold and the
open basement window would certain
~ have resulted in an expensive de-
struction from the freezing Of water
pipes.
This is the third oil station robbery
hcya since last Fall. The High Grade
Co.'S storage tanks, near the stock
yard, were raided one night and MANY
gallons Of gasoline and lubricating oil
stolen. The Standard Oil filling sta
ton on Main street was broken into
and small amount of change secured
from the cash drawer. The filling sta
tion jobs are thought to have been
perpetrated by very amateur junior
talent.

LEARNED WRONG SALUTE

A subscriber who evidently is pref
ty well acquainted with the county
press drops a line as follows:
81 notice that you are not printing
the weekly letters from our congress
man and our assemblyman. | r2th-
en- approve the omission, but wonder
ed at it."
Well, to be perfectly frank with
you, each gentleman in question has
evidently ordered his prose-laureate
to cut us off the mailing list, as We
havn't been favored with their Thra-
sonic stories. Perhaps we are 10
blame for not having perfected our
selves in the art of making the pro-
per political salaam.

terests this community are published
regularly in these columns with the

THANKING &c. b."

Ye Scribe spent the weekend in
Madison and Milwaukee, attending
the Wisconsin State Press association
meetings and visitin' round at the
Fourth Estate" plants in both cities.
That fact in itself is not exactly of
startling news value, as we had bles-
Sod both towns with our benign pre-
eence quite frequently in our Dalmy,
innocent youth. We'll, balmy anyhow,
if you must have it thus.) But this
last trip was one to be gratefully
cherished in live-long memory, and
its most pleasant features Were due
to the grand hospitality of Senator
G. b. Skogmo.
Discovering "our hero" agap mid
the majectic and imposing beauties
of the state capitol building, the Sem
ator took us under his benevolent and
capable wing, and throughout the re-
mainder of our visit officiated as
host, guide, promoter and guardian
angel.
We would like to go into more de-
tailed account of some of the promi-
nent items of interest encountered
through the Senator's courtesy, but
as the main object of this is to ex-
press our appreciation, we'll leave the
rae+ fo,. f,,fpYa diccnr,rco
From the heart out, Senator, many,
many, thanks! "

No. 1.

Revenue officers are visiting every
county in the United States to aid
taxpayers in the preparation of their
income tax returns for the year 1922.
Information concerning the date of
their arrival and the location of their
offices may be obtained by writing
the collector of internal revenue for
the district in which the taxpayer
lives.
Fc.ms for filing returns of indivi-
dual net income for the year 1922
are being sent to taxpayers who filed
returns for the year 1921. Failure to
receive a form, however, does not re-
lieve the taxpayer of his obligation
to file a return and pay the tax on
time, on or before March Is, 1923.
The forms, 1040A for filing returns
of net income $4,000 and less and 10
40 for filing returns of net income in
excess of $4,000, may be obtained
from collectors of internal revenue
and deputy collectors.
Returns are required of every
single person whose net income for
1922 was $1,000 or more or whose
gross income was $4,000 or more and
of every married person whose net
income was $4,000 or more or whose
gross income was $4,000 or more.
Careful study of the instructions on
the forms will greatly aid in making
correct return.

HELP KIDNEYS
 BY DRINKING MORE WATER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and Help
 Nesltralize Irritating Acids

Kidneys and bladder irritations often result from acidity, says noted authority. The kidneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder. where is may remain to irritate and inflame, causing a burn ing, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the blad- der, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread; the wa ter .pascs sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in voiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it because they cant control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful. this if often one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Begin drinking lots of soft water also get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irri- tation to the bladder and urinary or gans. which then act normal again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive. and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by acid irritation. lad Salts causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have a pleasant, efferves- cent Whitewater drink which may quickly remove your bladder irrita- ton. By all means have your physi- clan examine your kidneys at least twice year. !.
