COMMISSIONERS
AGREE TO PLAN
Scheme for Marketing Farm
Products Is Endorsed at
Special Meeting
TRUCK WILL GO AROUND


week, the Orange county COM
missioners agreed to appropriate
$1,000 for the pay of the man
who will drive a truck ~around
to gather farm products for the
market. Their decision was taken
after they had heard R. P. Har-
ris, agriculture teacher in the
Chapel Hill school, explain the
scheme in detail.
The grant of money for the
driver is conditioned upon Mr..
Harris's raising money among
the farmers for the purchase OF
the truck and arranging with
the school board and the bank
for a fund to finance the market
ing operations.
Il am sure can carry out
my end of the job,' said Mr..
Harris yesterday, so the action
of the commissioners cinches the
matter. have talked to enough
farmers about this plan to know
that the purchase price of a
truck will be contributed. AS
for the financing, there is no
reason to fear an obstacle there.
What we need is a revolving
fund We may sell a lot of chick
ems and eggs, say, to a restau-
rant here, or possibly COM
mission house in Richmond. The
bill may not be settled at once,
but we want to be able to pay
the farmers promptly. So we
use the money in the revolving
fund and it comes in later from
the people who buy the products.
This is a familiar mercantile
operation such as the banks are
financing every day.
prompt payment is feature
that will tend to stimulate the
farmers interest and make them
join in the marketing scheme.
My idea is to have the driver
carry to a farmer every week
a check in payment for what the
farmer has delivered to him the
week before. Of course we will
get the very best price we can
for his products.
" By going over six routes
one for each day in the week
one truck can cover the greater
part of Orange county; that is,
can reach those farmers who are
going to have things to sell at
first. AS times goes on, and as
the merits of the scheme be-
come known, there will be more
and more products offered for
sale. The sooner there are
enough to justify running more
trucks, the better.
"This appropriation by the
county commissioners gives the
marketing system a start. Event
ually it should be self-support-
ing. With a large volume of
sales, the cost to each farmer
will be small. Perhaps not more
than a cent, or cent and half
per dozen eggs, or cent a
pound for chickens.
with proper cooperation
from the farmers (and my ex-
perience this summer indicates
we will get that, this farm-to-
farm collection plan should be
OF vast benefit to the county.
We have got the soil and the
climate for poultry and vegetable
production on large scale.
The county ought to supply all
its own needs and have a sur

Let The People Sneak.

Political leaders are gnmshoeing
around in an effort to determine who
they want for president to succeed
Mr.. Coolidge. Apparently they want
to supply the motive power that pro
pels the popular band wagon.
Through long aud honored custom
it seems TO be the prerogative of the
leaders to select the proper candidate,
and the exalted privilege of the vot-
ers to humbly swallow the selection
thus made.
The leaders have brains. and use
them. That's the reason they are
leaders.
The voters have brains, but do not
always use them to the best advan-
tage. That's the reason they are lust
voters.
Most of tile talking and cogitatine
should be done Just now by the yot-
ers. They should make their prefer
ences known toandfelt by the leaders
before the latter get behind any GER
tain candidate 10 concerted effort
te put him across.
The people are many, but the lead
eTs are few.
The people shouldzselect their own
band wagon, then crack the whip and
tell the leaders to pull ii along to vic
tory
The people are strong only Ewhen
they realize their own strength.

Violin of Old Master Eau Claire
Treasure

A most beautiful relic of the middle
ages is IA violin owned by Mrs Fran
ces $. Stewart of Eau Claire. II is the
work of Gaspard Duiffopruggar In
1917. The celebrated craftsman lived
for the first part of his life in BolOgne.
He was noted maker of tenors and
BASES.
Researches of Herr Niederheiimann
establish the fact that Duiffopruggar
made six victims. One of these made
in 1915, is in the possession Of Riley
Ward, Liyonia, N. Y. There is one In
Boston made in 1915 by the same max
TT that is insured at $4,000. Another
sold in Moscow many years age for
$4,000. The first instrument made
by Duilf0pruggar was for Francis L.
of France and is now in England and
is priceless
The Stewart violin was made for
the cou.t of Spain and has the Span
ish crown printed on the back OF the
instrument. On the back of the violin,
iulad in woods of several sorts and
c0lors, is a picture of an ancient
walled city whose gateway gives a
view down the street, Smaller inIaid
pictures adorn the sides. and the let
ters carved along the sides form the
words; Castro X NEWS Aries Re
sonant FEW Del Prima." On the
head ofthe violin is carved by mas
ter's hand likeness of handsome
man with long beard and curling
hair II is said 10 be Duiffopruggar' 4
own likeness. ON the face of the vio-
lin are several small carvings in bas
relief OF conventional designs. The
instrument is well preserved and it's
tone is said TO be of brilliant and
wonderful quality.

with the exception of England
Europe is dotted with countries that
owe the American government vast
sums of money, about seven billions
Of dollars, on which not even the in

A foreign government bond is nc
more secure than the government

Of that fact in the utter collapse OF

in this country for the investment o.

Wisconsin Rich in Prehistoric LOee

That the upper Mississippi valley,
particularly the territory lying be-
tween Genoa and Winona. was the
habitat Of race of ancient mound
builders is the conclusion of histor-
ians and early settlers who explored
mounds in this district ana who ex-
hibit, in proof of their contention,
metal implements which they claim
never were made or used ty Indians
found here by early explorers.
The most comprehensiye summary
of the findings of men who conducted
research work in the mounds in the
neighborhood of La Crosse is fOnnd
in early history written by Lafayette
II Bunnell, in the possession of G. A.
NOetzelman of La Crosse. In this
volume, entitled Winona, and Its
Environs on tie Mississippi in An
cient and Modern Days, DR.. Bunnell
writes that there was an imperfect
tradition among the Winnebagoes
that when their ance stors first came
to Tfempealeau they found some of
the monnd builders there but that
these disappeared at once, as if in a
night. If it were true, they were a
timid race and probably the last
remnant of their people.
On the ridges of the bluffs, not far
from the Trempealeau mounds, there
have been found skeletons with pot
terry dishes in the same buril mound,
and in one instance the bony fingers
were clasping the rim of the earthen
or stone ware vessel. The head of the
skeleton aud piece of the pottery
were given by DR.. Bunnell to the
Wisconsin Historical society, toget-
her with an account of it's discovery
by Mr. Seymour, formet merchant
of Trempealeau.

Flax as a Cash Crop for State

Seed flax as profitable cash crop
is attracting the attention of great
many progressive farmers i'm WiscOn-
sin at the present time, largely be.
cause of the constantly increasing de-
mand in both commerce and industry
for this product.
Flax, cultivated for its fiber, was
one Of the first plants introduced into
this country from the old world. With
the introduction of the manufacture
of linseed oil, about the first of the
nineteenth century, a new demand for
seed flax was created and new in.
terrst taken in its culture. In recent
years the intensive manufacture of
paints, varnish, linOleums, printing
inks, and other articles of industry in
which linseed OIL figures as basic
ingredient, as well as the use of the
seed in the form of a stock food, has
greatly increased the demand for high
grade flax seed
Flax has been successfully grown on
Wisconsin farms for over so years.
The idea, however, that it is pioneer
crop, adaptable only to new soils. has
had much to do with the educed pro-
duction in recent years. AS a mat
ter of fact experiments show that
the crop grows well under proper con
ditions in most sections of the state,
and is particularly adapted to sod
lands, such as new breaklugs and old
meadows
