WILL PAY GROWERS
FOR SPUD STORAGE
Potato Exchanges Policy to Re-
suit in Increase in Number
Of Farm Cellars.

The Minnesota Potato Grow
ers Exchange will pay members
for storing potatoes on their
farm and make an allowance for
shrinkage. This was announced
this week by the executive
board at a recent meeting in St.
Paul.
The Exchange will allow a
member three cents a bushel for
putting potatoes into storage
and taking them out, to which
will be added a cent bushel
for each month or fraction there
of the potatoes remain on the
farm. 1t will be possible for a
member to get a bonus of nine
cents a bushel. If potatoes are
stored until spring.
Allowance for shrink is II per
cent per month on delivered
weights.
This regulation is expected to
greatly increase the amount of
home storage in Minnesota. Ex-
change officials point out that
income from storage the first
year will practically pay for the
materials needed.

JACK PAouETTE DIED

Jack PaQuette of Arbor Vitae, died
there Sunday as the result of wounds
inflicted by himself while suffering
fron sudden attack of dependency.
He had recently finished his work OF
g assessing the town, a position he had
held for several years, and had been
stopping at tn home of his father
Dennis Paquette. EARLY Sunday
morning he went to a lake between
there and Woodruff to battle. While
there he apparently decided to do the
rash act by cutting the arteries of
both wrists. He was found by passers.
by some time later in an exhauss ed
condition and removed to the IA
quette home where he passed away
four hours after.
He had been a resident of Arbor
Vitae and vicinity all his life and had
been a prominent figure of Woodruff
Minocqua and Boulder Junction for
years and at one time had charge Of
his fathers large business affairs at
Boulder. He was a man of very like
able ways and manner and a wide ac-
quaintance were shocked to hear of
his death in such manner.
Besides his aged parents and sever
al brothers and sisters, he is survived
by wife.
Funeral services were held from
the Paquette home at Arbor Vitae.

Ford Sales Reach High
Mark for the Half Year
OVER A MILLION FORD CARS AND
TRUCKS SOLD AT RETAIL DUR
ING 1ST SIX MONTHS OF 1924

Sales reports from the 81 Ameri-
can Branches of the Ford Motor Co.,
show that over a million Ford cars and
trucks were sold at retail during the
first six months of 1924. The actual
figure is 1,036,97S, which exceeds the
total retail sales for the same period
in 1923 by 3S,095-an average gain of
o. 1872, sales per month.
A comparison between Ford sales
in 1924 and 1923 not only indicates
remarkable increase in the country's
buying power but also shows that this
growth continues month by month. In
every instance the monthly sales in
1924 have shown substantial in
crease over the corresponding month
in 1928 In June they reached 170,747
which was approximately ahead of
June sales in the preceding year.
These figures are for retail sales in
the United States alone and do not
take into consideration the sales made
by foreign Ford branches and as
sociated companies, the majority of
which assemble cars from American
made parts.
Perhaps the most encouraging sign
of the times lies in the fact that these
sales have been spread very evenly
throughout the country and indicate
a general prosperity that is not con-
fined to any particular section.

HISTORY OF LINCOLN, ONEIDA

BEING DISTRIBUTED

Messrs. Belden and Purves, of st.
Paul, the gentlemen who canvassed
Villas county last year taking SUBJ
scripHions for a history of Lincoln,
Oneida and Villas counties, returned
last week to make deliveries of the
books to their customers.
The history was published by H. c..

is book of IT'S pages, exclusive of
the index. Bound in an attractive and
durable manner, printed on good book
paper, it contains in the beginning, a
brief history Of the state, and its
early settlement and the resources for
which it has become noted.
Lincoln, Oneida and Villas counties
have been given about an equal
amount of space and the history of
each county is traced from the begin
ming down to the present, with biog-
raphies of those who once did or do
now take an active part in the pro

tsnying the biographies are many fine
of the individuals men,
toned and to every one interested in
works Of that kind, the book will be
a valued addition to their library.
1t is probable that in. gathering the
data for any work of the kind, that
unintentional COMMISSIONS are made,
and again, it must be remembered
that in order to produce such a book,
it must have much financial assist
ance from the communities receiving
such publicity and recognition. There
have been some omissions Of this kind
in reference to some residents of vi
las county and Eagle River, that per-
sonally we believe were well entitled
to be represented in the book, regard
less of whether they signed up for a
copy or not. At that the combined
history of Lincoln, Oneida and Villas
counties is one that we are glad to
add to our previous collection of Dane
Columbia, and Green Lake, Marquette
anC Waushara counties.

SLIGHT DECREASE IN
POTATO ACREAGE

The Potato acreage in Wisconsin
this year is s per cent less than last
year, based upon the estimates an
nounced today by the Crop and Live.
stock Reporting Service at Madison.
It is explained that alternating low
prices and small yields for the past
four years have turned Wisconsin
farmers somewhat away from potatoes
as a cash crop. Difficulty in hiring
competent farm help has also caused
some farmers to reduce their acreage.
The reduction is as much as IL per
cent in the Barron-Chippiewa anG the
Waupaca-Po Portage districts. In the re-
gion about Milwaukee the reduction
is only per cent. The acreage Of the
State is placed at 25O,000 acres COM
pared to 272. 900 last year and $4,000
in 1922
The stand of potatoes in Wisconsin
is uniformly good, and the condition
Of the crop in the United States is the
same as last year.
The acreage the United States is
1T per cent less than a year ago. The
Eastern States have generally increas-
ed their acreages, New York, per
cent, Maine, 5 per cent; and Virginia
per cent. The Western States in com
mon with Wisconsin, have cut their
acreages, Minnesota, per cent;
