BUSINESS TO BEAT
LAST YEAR RECORD
Railroads Survey Indicates
10 Per Cent Increase in
Volume for u. S.

The volume of business throughout
the United States will be 10 per cent
larger this year than it was during
the record breaking year of 1923. ac-
cording to q preliminary survey gath
cred from thousands of sources by
the leading railroads of the United
States.
Almost everything that rolls over
the rails. the carriers have been ad-
vised. will roll in larger volume dur
ing 1924 than it did year ago. Iron,
steel, building materials, automobiles,
manufactured articles will pile up
new production records, so far as can
be foreseen now. The single eXcep-
tion to the trend is coal, and the rea-
son why there will not be propor-
tionate increase in coal production,
1t is said, lies in the fact that produc-
tion last year was on SO great Il scale
as to leave Industry with stocks in
excess of the normal carry-over.
The survey by the railroads has
been in the making for the past six
weeks. Almost every line of shipping
has been consulted. Every section
or the United States has been con-
sdered.
The carriers want this information
as guide to arranging their traffic
plans for the remaining ten and one
half months of 1924. They started to
collect 1T shortly before New Year.
The work has not been completed. hut
has progressed far enough to enable
those gathering it to form an intelli-
gent estimate of business in 1924 as
the Shippers see it.
Strive for improvements.
To meet the unusual demands upon
the transportation system, the leading
carriers are intensifying their efforts
TO place their plants in first class
condition. New equipment is being
contracted for as rapidly as it can be
hnanced, and as largely as prudent
foresight indicates that it will be
necessary. The present plant is be-
ing repaired with the same view to
maximum efficiency that inaugurated
the drive to clean up and get ready
more than a year ago.
Bad-order cars throughout the
country were reduced to per cent
of ownership on January Is. standing
at total of 1852 on that date.
TWO years ago the number of cars
IN disrepair was almost twice that
number. Bad-order locomotives are
being repaired no less energetically
and new cars and locomotives, con-
tracted for last year, are being de-
livered almost daily.
AS a result of the drive the rail-
roads had on hand two weeks ago
at the time of their last stock taking
an excess of 236,174 freight cars in
good condition over requirements. At
the same time the carriers were haul
ing d volume of traffic far above the
average for the past five years. This
load was being carried without in
convenience and with a degree of dis
patch unknown half a decade ago.
Seven Months Average.
For seven months in 1929 the rail-
roads OF the country averaged a haul
of more than 100000 loaded freight
cars weekly-a feat which was re-

REPORTS DEER KILLED
Latest Figures Show Less
Deer Shipped by Express
and More Carted in Cars.

While the following is handed
out as official in numbers of deer
killed in the state last fall, still
there are no figures given as to
the number taken out of hunting
camps by automobiles and trucks.
The shipment given out by the
conservation commission is that
of reported deer and those shipped
by express. This leaves a big dis
crepancy In the total really killed
and transported.
The following report was hand
ed out by the commission last
week as final for the total num-
Der of bucks slain and can be
taken for what it amounts to,
especially to those who know that
the number killed were almost as
great as the years previous:
Madison-Hunters during the
last deer hunting season brought
down a total of 303,634 pounds of
venison, the state conservation
commission reported on Friday.
The official report of the commits
sion showed a total of 1850 deer
killed.
Nov. 10, the first day of the
hunting season, brought the rec
ord kill of the season, according
to the records of Elmer S. Hall,
conservation commissioner, when
three hundred twenty-six deer
fell.
Bayfield,, Price and Sawyer coun-
ties were the best deer hunting
grounds, according to the record.
In Bayfield, county two hundred
sixty-three animals were killed,
with an average weight of one
hundred sixty-four pounds. In
Price county a total of two hun
dred four deer were killed with
an average weight of one hun
dred sixty-one pounds. Sawyer
county had two hundred thirty
one deer killed with an average
weight of one hundred sixty-fve
pounds. Deer were killed in TWEEN
ty-seven counties of the state.
An interesting fact in Mr.. Halls
report is the record showing that
a majority of the deer were killed
in the morning.

season by counties follows:

SHOULD THEY LEAVE 1T
Public Official is Quoted as
Saying Folks Should Leave
Their Farms. Why?

Not long ago public official,
high up in agriculture, was quot
ed as saying that one of the big
problems was how to get folks off
the farms. In justice to the party
in question, | can scarcely mag
inc him making such statement.
Granting, though, that he may
have been correctly quoted, there
are ample figures to show that
this problem is rapidly solving it
self. High wages in the cities,
and discouraging in the country
have resulted in a great move
ment from the farms. That, in
time, this tide must turn, or at
least cease, is conceded by practi-
cally everybody. For year or
more, though, it seems to have
been gaining momentum.
Not only has the desirability of
city life taken hold of grown-ups,
but it is also making itself felt
among the young folks of the
farm. In a certain village school
in one of the best agricultural
counties, 20 boys have just enter
ed the higher grades. Each boy
was asked what he planned to do
in life. In reply to this question,
10 named work that meant life
in the cities, while only one ex-
pressed himself to the effect that
he expected to become a farmer.
Insomuch as most of these boys
come from farm homes, the re-
naming few living in a village
of less than 200 population, their
life plans disclose a tendency that
is significant, and even startling.
It must be that they voice, in
large part, the feelings of their
families. Maybe they, with their
parents, have felt the pinch that
comes with lack of prosperity.
They have yearned for the luxur-
les and conveniences they have
seen in city homes. To them have
come desires which could not be
gratifed, and they have wondered
why the long hours on the farm
have not brought just recompense.
1t is natural that they should do
so. Perhaps, though, in time,
some Of these same boys, who now
think that city life is best, will
change their views, will see that
all that glitters is not gold, and
that after all, the country life,
even though it does not just af-
ford the returns that it should, is
not without advantages. Still, the
cold, hard truth remains that if
we are to keep our best boys and
girls in the country, if country
homes are to continue to be, as
they have always been the safe
guards of the nation, farming
must be made both pleasant and
profitable.
Many a man who loves the out
of-doors, and who in his heart
hates the narrow confines of shop,
store or factory, has been forced
to leave the farm and go to the
city in order to make living. AS
conditions improve, as | believe
they must, some of these will
come back, but not many. The
important thing is to hold on the
farm those who by tastes, train
ing and understanding seem to
belong there. I feel sure that
those who are able to stay on the
farms, and who have the pluck
and perseverance to do so, will,
sooner than many now believe,
find themselves in positions of adj
vantage. While | do not hold that

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

After a hard week of review,
nerve racking tests, and fearful
anticipation lest they fail, the
students have taken long breath
and settled down for the last half
of the school year. The final
exams, which marked the end of
the first semester were concluded
Friday much to our relief. Some
failures were reported but as a
whole the grades were good.
Friday afternoon t he semi
monthly program of the Literary
Society was given. The next pro-
gram has not yet been posted,
but it will be printed in these col
umnS next week.
When in the course of human
events it becomes necessary for a
people to have a party, they do
so. Consequently, we have two
more parties to report. The Soph-
Fresh parties are rather popular
this season it seems, but so far
Bud Pride refuses to reveal any
of the particulars.

after a hearty chicken banquet
at the Court of King Kracht on
the eve of January 28th, escort

The Industrious students have
found a new mode of employment
to counter-act their knowledge
