FEDERAL REPORT SHOWS WHERE
THE POTATO MONEY GOES

Madison, Wis.-The Chicago con
sumner who buys Wisconsin potatoes
puts half of his money into the
pockets of the wholesaler and retail
er in that city while the other half is
distributed to the grower, the rail-
road and the country buyer. The
federal report showing retail prices
of potatoes from various states
shows that the Wisconsin grower
gets only $3.50 of the consumers dol
lar while the Chicago retailer gets the
largest amount of any of the dis
tributing factors, his share being
389t. Railroads take 1917, the
country buyer 17eo and the Chicago
wholesaler 9ao. As compared with
the Minnesota grower the Wiscon-
sin farmer is little better off for ne
gets see more than the farmer in his
neighboring state. The report shows
that much of the improvement that
must be made in order that the farm
er can get better share of the cel-
sumer's dollar must be made in the
city retailing end, although the Wis
consin country buyers end is lighter
than the share of the country buyers
in the other states compared. While
the Wisconsin grower realizes that
there is little he can do to reduce the
Chicago retailers margin, he plans
through cooperative marketing to
increase his share by taking over
sum of the functions of the shippers
and wholesalers.

Results OF The Clinic
Held Here Last Week

Six cases of tuberculosis, including
one active and one suspicious case,
were found at the free chest clinic
held April 30 in River Falls, when
50 people were examined. Three Of
those in the tuberculosis classified
tion had visited the clinic on its pre-
yious visits to River Falls and all
three were greatly improved. Two
of these three patients had taken
sanatorium treatment and examina-
ton showed that the LESSONS had
healed, while the third which had
been an active case is now an arrest
ed case. One patient examined had
tuberculosis of the bone.
IN addition to the tuberculosis
cases, other disorders were found.
These included Is cases of decayed
and neglected teeth; of pyorrhea;
z of diseased tonsils; enlarged
glands, q cases; 80 cases Of simple
goitre, of which Is were found in
children; and one case of organic
heart disease. Only eight of the 50
examined were pronounced entirely
healthy, and 90 were referred to
physicians for various cases.
Owing to the low finances it was
possible to hold only one day clinic
this year. 1t is hoped that a re-
newed interest in the Christmas
Seal Sale will insure us a two day
clinic next year.
Excellent assistance at the clinic
was given by Mesdames Ella Tag
CART, D. J. Collins, Paul Weber, ]. S.
Wadsworth and Fred Seton.

Reasoning

An interesting illustration of the
processes of reasoning by which sclen-
ti6c conclusions are sometimes at
tanned is afforded by the case Of the
human skull discovered some years
ago at Chapelleaux-Saints, in France,
which, in the opinion of some, is prob
ably the oldest bodily relic of prehis-
toric man. This skull shows many OF
the characteristics of that of mon
key, but little Indication of intelli-
gence. Careful examination, however,
revealed slight excess of size of the
left hemisphere, from which it was
argued that the owner Of the skull was
right-handed, and consequently a user
Of tools, a conclusion which is thought
to be supported by the fact that an
cient stone implements We're found in
the nelghborhood.
