Lumber Yards Merge
At Spring Valley

A deal which has been in progress
since last summer was consumated
last week when the Spring Valley
Lumber & Supply Co. took over the
Madison Bergman Co. lumber yard.
The two yards will be operated
hereafter under the management of
A. H. Hoel, local manager of the
Lumber & Supply Co.
Revival in the lumber industry
last year gave Nels Madison, senior
partner in the firm of Madison Berg
man, all he wants to attend to. For
a while Mr.. Bergman figured on
buying Mr.. Madson's interests and
continuing the business, but he has
now concluded to go into the business
in another town, having two or three
in contemplation at present.-Spring

Slippery Elm Bark
Now Makes Clothing

A new use for the loved slippery
elm" bark of our childhood, chewed
so vigorously, has set number of
men in Spring Valley at work.
At Nels Madson's mill all the
water elm bolts and logs are care
fully peeled and the gluey inner bark
saved. This is sold to man who
ships it to England where the fine
fiber of the bark is carded out and
mixed with wool to make "pure wool"
English clothes.
1t is possible that some of us are
wearing, or will soon use, some OF
this product of our forests, at cost
which includes shipping twice across
the Atlantic, a heavy manufacturing
charge and big tariff levied when
it re-entered this country.-Spring

Catch Vote Scheme
Proves A Boomerang
st. Croix Townships Renounce Home
stead Exemption Law AS I'm
fair To Other Taxpayers
(Spring Valley SUM

The township of Springfield, St.
Croix county, which includes the in
corporated village of Wilson and the
unincorporated village of Hersey,
doesn't like the homestead exemption
law.
They will have nothing to do with
it.
AT a mass meeting hell at Hersey
Saturday night the matter was
threshed out. A number of exemp-
tons had been filed by people in the
village-mostly Civil War pensioners
who have only a small holding-but
these men all agreed to withdraw
their affidavits and leave the slate
clean.
A meeting was held in the incor-
porated village of Wilson with the
same result. This village is so small
that the exemptions, if filed, would
throw very heavy burden on the
rest of the property.
1t would have done the "progres-
sive" legislators who passed this law
a world of good to hear what the
good farmers of Springfield think of
it; and c. E. Hanson, of River Falls,
who is credited as the author of the
bill, is not gaining any favor thereby.

Boy Scout Column
Scouting In The United States

The United States needs-in this
generation and in generations to
come-men of vision, men of action,
men of character. The Scout Move
ment is helping definitely to instill in
the boys of today the essence and
spirit of Americanism which will
guide our country Alright in years to
come. A SISSY" made vigorous and
manly, a ''roughneck" tanned, a snob
democratized, a selfish lad made gen.
erous-such changes in the direction
of good citizenship are included in
the experience of almost any scout
troup. Multiply such contributions
to citizenship by thousands of troops
operating over period of years;
the sum total is incalculable. The
Scout Movement has been particu-
larly fortunate in this country in that
it is knit together in one vigorous,
unified organization. A boy scout in
Kennebec, Maine, wears the same
uniform as his brother in Nogales,
Arizona. The same tenderfoot test
is given in the same way fromTalla-
hassee to Seattle. Moreover, thanks
to the service-station function of the
National Council, if a scoutmaster in
Minneapolis, or in Boston, or in New
Orleans, invents a good scout game,
or discovers a new way of teaching
first aid, or succeeds in some special
plan for cooperation with church or
school, this helpful information is
sooner or later made available to all
scoutmasters throughout the country.

Wisconsin Farm
Market Improving

According to F. G. Haigh, execu-
tive secretary of the Wisconsin AS
ISOLATION of Real Estate Brokers,
who recently completed a two
weeks trip through the North Cen
trail part of Wisconsin, the sale Of
cut-over and farm lands is showing
a marked improvement over the pre-
ceeding three years. One large
colonization company of the Chip
pewa valley located three settlers in
one week, all of the settlers and
their families have left the cities be-
cause of the lack of employment.
The larger colonization compani 5
are offering exceptional opportun-
tiles to new settlers by selling land
on the thirty-year payment plan,
building a small house and barn,
furnishing a team, clearing up,
stumping, and breaking an amount of
land sufficient for a start. Cows
and other necessary farm animals
are also provided for the settlers.
Extended payment plans with low
rates of interest together with ar
rangements for financing the living
expenses of the settlers until the
farm becomes sufficiently productive,
are being offered to those where the
moral risk is thought to be sound.
The market for improved farms is
greatly improved, due, largely to
the decrease in wages and employ
ment in the city, which gives rise to
better farm market. With the adj
justment occurring ia economic con-
.ditions, farmers as a class are be-
ginning to realize a home on the
farm and a sure living is desirable
than, perhaps, rented quarters in the
city with the element of partial c.-,-
ployment only, as would be founnd in
metropolitan centers. Prices of
farm products in Wisconsin ara re-
naming stable while a gradual in
crease in farm land values is becom-
ing apparent.

KINNICKINNIC TEAM
BEATS NEW RICHMOND

The Kinnickinnic baseball team
won at New Richmond Sunday, Is
to Is. The game is reported as
thriller from start to finish, with the
outcome in doubt until the last put
out.
Kinnickinnic gained an early lead
and held it until the seventh frame,
when New Richmond ran the count
up to 1914 in their favor. Kinnic-
kinnic rallied and scored four in the
eighth, and then held the Cyclone
City tribe scoreless in the eighth and
ninth, not player reaching first
base.
The Kinnickinnic team will play at
Prescott next Sunday, and large
delegation of fans plan to attend the
game.

NATIONAL GUARD NOTES

Monday nights drill was the last
one this quarter, and the payroll will
be made out this week. Some of the
checks promise to be quite sizeable
as the attendance records have been
very good since April /. r
The company will leave on a
special train Sunday morning, July
81, for Camp Douglas, to be gone
two weeks. Ten trucks will leave the
same morning to drive overland and
meet the rest of the company at
camp. Lieutenant Phillips is busy
selecting his truck drivers this week,
A number of former company
members have signifed an inten-
tion to attend the encampmcnt this
summer with the company, among
them being Kendall -Wentz, Foster
Clafin, Bailey Webster, duly
Smith and Louis Bielefeldt.
The program for the two weeks
promises to be an easy one as the
schedule only calls for six hours
work a day. That will leave plenty
of time for athletics and visits to
neighboring towns, all of which APP
peal more or less forcibily to the
boys attending the encampment.
There is still an opportunity for a
few recruits to join before the en-
campment. If you are interested see
one of the company officers at once,
or come up to the armory next Mon
day evening at 1880. The 10th wants
to go over the top with full quota
this year if possible.

Health, Citizenship, Character

The various detectives of Scouting
have been grouped under three major
headings: health, citizenship, and
character. A nation of weaklings
and mollycoddles can not long endure.
The success of a democracy such as
ours depends on the intelligent citiz-
enship of its members. Finally a ma
ton without soul, without inherent
ideals of high character, is menace
to the civilization of the world. The
Scout Movement affords a national
program for training the boys of the
nation in those qualities which are
vital to the national welfare-health,
citizenship and character.

LONG DISTANCE PHONE
TAX IS REMOVED

The Federal Tax on long distance
telephone messages was discon-
tinued at midnight, July 2, 1924.
Manager o. Quale of the Wisconsin
Telephone Company called attention
today to the fact that this discontinue
alton of the telephone tax was pro-
vided for in the amended Federal Tax
bill recently passed by Congress and
signed by the President. "The
Federal Tax on toll calls in Wisconsin
during 1923 amounted to over $780,
100000. The Federal Tax on long dis
lance telephone messages amounted
to five cents on a call for which from
fourteen to fifty cents was charged
and ten cents on a call the cost of
which was over fifty cents.
"The repeal of this tax will effect
considerable number of patron and
will be welcome saving to
local users of the long distance tele-
prone lines" said Mr.. Quale.

Farm Home Burns;

Frank Peskar Residence In Kinnic.
kinnic Totally DestrOyed-City
Fire Dept. Answers Two
Farm Calls Yesterday

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Peskar, about four miles east of this
city in the town of Kinnickinnic, was
totally destroyed by fire about
eleven o'clock yesterday morning.
A defective chimney is supposed to
have been responsible for the blaze.
Mrs. Peskar was at home alone
when the fire broke out, and by the
time help could be summoned the
flames had gained uncheckable
Roadway. Mr.. Peskar was in town.
Most of the furniture in the front
rooms of the house was saved, but
practically everything else was des-
troyed. The loss is partially covered
by insurance.
A call was sent in for the city
Fire Department, and the chemical
truck, which mad just returned from
answering a call to the Truls Ben
nett home, three miles west of town,
was sent out. Although the. truck
made quick run, the alarm had
been sent in too late for the depart
ment to be of any use.
A threatening chimney fire inspir-
ed the alarm from the Bennett home,
but the blaze was extinguished be-
fore it had caused any considerable
damage.

Troy Road Matter
Nail Box Subject
Mr.. Chapman Answers Patrol
man Savage

There is a short stretch of road on
the River Falls half of Highway IS
which, it is apparent to all, is not re-
ceiving the same attention as the re-
mainder of the highway, and the
matter has caused considerable COM
ment.
Last week Patrolman Milt. Savage
gave his version of the controversy
in The Journal Mail Box, stating that
the installation of a cattle runway
instead of culvert altered the grade
level and caused the present con-
dition and the misunderstanding
which is responsible for the stretch
not being properly patrolled.
In today's Journal Mail Box Mr..
Chapman gives his version of the
matter, stating that he has fulfilled
his portion of the agreement made
with the highway engineer in charge,
and he maintains that the stretch
could be kept up to standard if pro-
perly patrolled.
The Journal Mail Box column af-
fords the public an opportunity to
present openly any and all matters
of public interest, and we urge our
readers who may find a discussion
opened therein to watch also for
answering articles.
Those who were interested in Mr..
Savage's letter should also read Mr..
Chapman's reply.
