BRANDT'S STORE AT
MERCER ROBBED
Tools Taken From Section House
and Safe Broken Open; $500 in
Cash and Revolvers Taken.

Robbers entered the store of NJ. f.
Brandt at Mercer early Monday
morning and after breaking open the
safe took about $500 in cash and two
revolvers and made their getaway.
Sheriff Joseph Volant was notified
Monday morning as soon as the
robbery had been discovered and
with Undersheriff Richard Kalliomaa
has since been endeavoring to run
down clues that might lead to the
identity of the robbers.
The robbers gained entrance to
the store by breaking the lock on the
rear door after entering a shed in
the rear of the store by climbing
through the window With the as
sistance of crow bars and tools taken
from the section house nearby the
safe was broken open. The safe
was badly damaged, indicating that
dynamite may have been used in
blowing it open, although so far as
known no one in Mercer heard the
explosion. II is believed that the
robbers first broke into the section
house and outfitted themselves with
various kinds of tools in preparation
for the attack on the safe. Tools
were found strewn about the store
when Mr.. Brandt opened the store
for business Monday morning.
While the robbery did not entirely
give evidence of being the work of
expert safe-blowers the sheriff is
inclined to think that il was not
the work Of amateurs.
He expressed the opinion yesterday
that developments in the matter of
the robbers may be
at any moment.

BY Use of Tags State Has Tab on
Trapping Operations.

For the first time in the history
of Wisconsin the state is discover
ing the extent of trapping operations
within its borders.
The last legislature enacted a law
at the last session that required a
metal tag to be purchased from the
state conservation department to be
attached to each trap
State Conservation Commissioner
Elmer S. Hall had $4,000 tags made
They were sold and another supply
was purchased Again the demand
exceeded the supply and orders and
recorders went in. The state has
now sent out 10000 tags and
35, 900 more have been ordered and
further orders may be necessary to
supply all the wild animal traps used
in Wisconsin.
Wardens report seeing as high as
four traps from as many different
individuals after one animal -Four
traps have been seen on one musk
rat house waiting for the animal to
come home.

Wages Higher Than Cost OF Living.
Based on selected industries all
over the country by the National
Bureau of Labor, and the cost of
living calculated by the National
Industrial Conference Board for a
workingman's family of five, it is
shown that since 1917 wage levels
have kept generally above living
costs.
The downward trend of wages in
1920-21 was arrested much sooner
than the decline in cost of living.
During 1929 fluctuations in living
costs have been almost incon-
sequential, but wages have risen
constantly.
AS result of the industrial
revival in the United States during
the past year and half the advance
in real wages, or purchasing power
in necessities of life, has sub
stantially increased, as shown by
increased savings bank deposits and
growth of retail trade.

Than Last Assessment.

Nadison-State taxes are $751;
.s9 40 lower than at the last as

Monday, showed.
The new tax rolls show that there
uilI he raised total of $5,222,5 26
this year as against $6,110,089.92
required last year.
The big difference comes in the
University mill tax. With rate
If three a;ehths of a mill for the
university there would be a total of
U8t7rS7. But Gov. John j.
BIoine RENTED $1,115.O00 in taxes
ond with this subtracted there only
remains S702, 537 to be raised for
tbis purpose. Last year there was
q mill tax total for the university
ofs1749,I53 on the rolls.
The certifications sent to the
counties today by Secretary of State
Fred K. Zimmerman show that
sl44459 must be raised to pay
certificates of indebtedness; $175,-
900 for free high schools; 100000
for state graded schools; $702,537
Mill taxes for the university; $807,-
794 in mill taxes for the normals;
1912, 1856 in mill taxes for the
common schools.
There must also be included $780,
IO6.S6 for the support of the
charitable and penal institutions of
the state part on which each coun-
4 " pays in proportion to the number
4 Of inmates the county has in the
Il Institutions.
Each county in the state pays to
ward the taxes to be raised in pro-
portion to the value of the property
in the county as fixed by the tax
commission in the state assessment.
Douglas county must raise $780,
1852 in taxes for these purposes.
The important amounts in the coun-
y are:
Certificates of Indebtedness, ST.

atH sl2,0l762; normals $13,818.-

Y'sr the amount IL $18,159.79.
However, in comparison with last

STATE TREASURER
BOOSTS DAIRYING
His Advice to Farmer Is to Leave
the Soil Right Side Up and &C
In For Dairying.

Leave the soil right side up and
devote your attention to dairying,
was the advice of State Treasurer
Levitan to an assembly of farmers
at Burke last Friday evening.
Many a pillow farmer who failed of
success through the pillow method of
agriculture failed and then made a
success by the use of cattle on sod
ded fields, he declared.
years ago an old Indian stood
watching his pale face neighbor turn
ing UP neat burrows with his white
mans pillow" Mr.. Levitan asserted.
Him wrong side up, the Indian
had declared.
'The farmer laughed and went on
with his blowing, but years later,
after successive crop failures, he re-
called the Indians warming" Mr..
Levitan said, "and realized that he
had been turning too much of his
soil 'wrong-side up
"Then he turned to dairying, let
his cattle Craze on the fields that
had failed him, and prosperity came
to his farm 10 stay. Many of our
Wisconsin communities are farming
wrong side up They have been
putting their reliance on other crops,
which in good seasons may pay big,
but at other times may be a total
loss. At the very best they have
become a gamble. The dairy COW
however, is never a gamble She
produces a cream check regularly
every month or twice a month. The
dairy COW is the saving factor in
Wisconsin"
We need more good dairy cows in
every county in Wisconsin.
Statistics show us that there are less
dairy cows per capita population Of
the United States in 1923 than there
were in 1900. And yet our coun-
try's population is growing by leaps
and bounds. We must have more
dairy products if our food supplies
are to keep pace with our rapidly
growing population"
Mr.. Levitan told Of the develop
ment OF Green county, which after
crop failures went into
the dairy business with the result
that it is now one of the most pros
porous sections of the country.
1--WE Wisconsin folks need to
learn that the dairy cow is our gold
mine. The value of the dairy pro-
ducts produced annually in this state
exceeds the value of the total gold
output of the country.
I'VE can double that dairy output
for Wisconsin and double our share
Of the prosperity that comes with it
if every farmer will get back of the
dairy cow Better leave more of
our acres right side up for the cattle
to pasture on. Wen have more
farmers all around"

BIG RETURNS
FROM TOURISTS
Estimated Yearly Profits of $2E,-
100000 Comes to Wisconsin -
Results of Tourist Traffic.

Madison-W Wisconsin makes
profit of $25.000,O00 a year out of
its tourists.
Besides the Wisconsin cars that
tour the state there were 29,409 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 just COM
pleted its all-summer survey of the
states touring business.
The 29,409 cars were all counted
on one day August in various
centers of the state and all duplca-
tons were carefully eliminated
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
dustries of the state whose import
ance is not generally appreciated"
the commission declares 1t is
estimated that daily average of
10000 day was in Wisconsin for a
100 day period.
From information secured through
tourists, il is estimated that the oc-
cupants of the average tourist auto
mobile spend at least SIS daily per
ear during their sojourn in the
state" the commission declares.
This would mean an average daily
expenditure by out of state tourists
of S450.000 and of $4,000, 600 for
the year. If 30 per cent of this
represents profit. it means an annual
profit. of 100000 through this
source alone. Many other tourists
come into the state by train
Though it is currently reported that
passenger business is rapidly being
cut down through automobile traffic,
the principal railroads of the state
still come TO the Wisconsin resorts
by train. In addition to the out Of
state tourists are the Wisconsin
people who choose TO do their tour
ing in their home state. II is con
servatively estimated that this is
more than double the touring Of the
out Of state residents, and that the
total profits resulting through
tourist business Is an excess of $25,-
100000 annually. This is more than
three times the total amount expend-
ed annually by the state in all Of its
highway activities"
Foreign cars counted in Wiscon-
sin on August follow: Illinois, TO-
532; Minnesota, 4,505; Michigan,
1857; Iowa, 1870; Indiana, 1,l50;
Ohio, 700; Missouri, 638; New York,

BIDS FOR WATER Xxx
PLANT REJECTED
Council Considers the Bids Too High
and Orders Clerk to Advertise
for New Bids.

That Hurley's proposed water
plant will cost whole lot more than
at first estimated was brought home
to the mayor and city council at the
special meeting held Tuesday even
ing, called for the purpose of CON
sidering the bids filed with the clerk.
AS usual there was a big variance
between the estimated figures of the
engineer and the amounts of the
bids. The lowest bid was some
$4,000 higher than the estimate of
j. H. A. Brahtz, consulting engineer.
The result was that the council
rejected all bids and instructed the
clerk to advertise for new bids,
which will be considered at a meet
ing to be held on Nov. IS.
Three bids were submitted, that
of the Pastoret Construction Com
pany of Duluth being the lowest,
$4,000. The bid of the Phelps
Drake company of Hibbing would
amount to about $4,000, and that
of Sehruth & Jackson of Mime
apolis about $4,000. The engineer
furnished an estimate of $37, 900.
The new bids will be based on
cash payment. 1t is believed that
this plan will result in lower bids.
The first plan of payment was
$4,000 in cash and the balance in
bonds.
While it was planned to start con-
struction work on the water plant
this fall in order that it could be
completed as early as possible next
year, it is a question whether the
project would get under way this
yea, due to the nearness of winter,
with its resultant disadvantage in
doing outside work. To build the
plant during the winter months
would mean added expense. And
then there is the matter of finances
to be settled.

EAST SIDE SEWER

The city is under a moral obligation
10 grant funds for the completion OF
the East Side sewer. as sought by the
board OF public works. Moreover the
completion OF this work will put into
use a long stretch of sewer now lying
idle because OF the lack OF this con.
Meeting link. The people whose prop.
erty will be benefited are people OF
moderate means for the most part,
who rely upon the informal promise
OF the city that this work would be
completed.
When the part OF the city not In
cluded at that time In the second tax
Ing district. where the tax was higher.
was taken into the higher taxed dis
triet. making all one district, II was
the understanding that that part Of
the city would receive greater bene-
fits to compensate for the higher tax
The completion OF this sewer Is one
of those conveniences which will add
to the value OF Belvidere property and
which win benefit the city as whole
The sewer is necessity. II is not
preaching ecohomy to speak in op-
position to II. and II Is to be hoped
that there will be little such opposi-

fitted have right to expect It. Opposl-
ton to the one taxing district plan
would have been much stronger II
there had not come. with Its presenta-
ton. practical promise that this
sewer, among other things, would be
laid. Both as just plan and as one
which is a wise business move for
the city, inasmuch as this connecting
link will put to use sewers already
laid, approval should be expressed for
the movement at this time.
