The Scots are making an effort to
stop the hoary old joke that they
never spend any money. Scientists
who have gone into the antiquity of
jokes and made a study of the SUBJ
ject say that there are only about six
original examples and that all humor
is based on them. Old jokes come
back into style or else appear wearing
new habiliments. Excursions into new
fields sometimes are dangerous and un-
profitable. The plumber joke may not
have been one Of the early sextet, but
1t has been a favorite not only with
the almanacs, but with the comic
shippers and the higher class weekly
funny magazines. If the plumber joke
has to go, the joke writer's merely
will understand that they have one
less subject upon which to work.

TERRY'S BIG UNCLE TOMS
CABIN Is COMING

Announcement is made of the COM
ing of the old favorite and much
talked sof play, Uncle Toms Cabin.
Many amusement enterprises have
grown from small companies to two
and three car shows, the Terry Com
pany being one that is found in this
class, having started thirty
years ago with small troupe of ten
people, and gradually augmenting
their attraction until now the COM
pany numbers fifty people and travel
in their own cars. Their great sue
cess being due to the fact that the
show management has always had
the required energy, push and honest
business dealings, in presenting this
mammoth Uncle Toms Cabin Co.
From the day Of their beginning
with small things, they have mount
ed upwards until now they stand at
the top without competitors. And
now Terry's is a household word in
many states.
Neither expense nor time has been
spared to. make the Terry show the
best of its kind on the road, having
equipped the stage, which is one of
the largest portable stages ever CON
structed, with the massive scenic and
electrical effects required to properly
produce this play, the presenting
cast is made up of the very best
dramatic talent that could possibly
be secured, and anyone that witness
es the production can feel assured
that they will see a complete and
first class performance.
The name Terry is a guarantee in
itself for whenever this name is
found upon the advertising the pub
lie knows what to expect, as their
presentation is a true representation
Of the famous story.
Many imitators have tried to fol-
low the ways of Terry, and want to
know the secret of his wonderful
success, but there is no secret, it is
simply the honest method in which
the shows have been conducted since
the first performance thirty-seven
years ago.
Terry's Big Uncle Toms Cabin
will be at River Falls for one night
performance only one Monday, Aug.
10.

HAY CROP 16 PER CENT
BELOW AVERAGE

The yields of hay, although poor,
are better than was expected earlier.
Timothy made good growth after
the rains, but clover having headed
failed to make much growth. Old
meadows are thin and clover is short.
The first crop Of alfalfa yielded
IL tons to the acre, and with the re-
cent rains the second crop is now in
thrifty condition. Where there are
good stands of clover the second crop
is promising. Only frequent rains
and good weather have made possible
the yields of hay that are now being
cut in the face of conditions on June
/. The condition of 60 per cent in
dicates hay crop in Wisconsin 16
per cent below the 5-year average

THE FACTS ABOUT THE HIGH
WAY APPROPRIATION LAW
PASSED BY THE RECENT LEGIS.
BY f. A. Cannon, Executive Secre-
tary, Good Roards Association of
Wisconsin

Many inquiries are being made by
the people of the state regarding the
highway appropriation bill passed By
the last legislature. They wonder
why a gasoline tax law was passed
in addition to the present license fee
based on weight. They are under the
impression that this means additional
highway expenditures. This is
a wrong impression, as the facts will
show.
In the year 1924, excluding the
county bond issue funds which are
practically exhausted, there was
spent on highways by the counties
and the state in round numbers
$4,000 900. Of this, $6,462,000
came from automobile license; ST.
$4,000 was received from the fed
eral government; and $7,448,000 was
raised by direct county taxes.
Under the new highway appropria-
ton law, which includes the gasoline
tax, the estimated state funds which
viii be raised, and the amount re-
ceived from the federal government,
will be $14,853,OOO, practically the
same as last years expenditures.
tof this, $s,1OO,OOO will come from
the license fees; $4,880,O0O from the
gasoline tax; and $1,873,OOO will be
in the form of federal aid.
Note that the state funds avail
able are practically the same as the
expenditures of 1924. In the 1924
expenditures, however, we find ST.
448,0 900 direct county taxes Under
the new law, if the counties wish,
they can eliminate this tax and still
have the same funds available, the
difference being made up by the gas
oline tax, the increase in the meteor
license fees, and an increased amount
of federal aid.
To sum it up, the new law does not
provide for more highway expendi-
lures. It does provide for larger
state funds coming mostly from the
new gasoline tax. 1t means that
larger share will be paid by the
motor vehicle owners and that over
S7,000,000 of general property taxes
will be lifted if the county boards so

POTATO ACREAGE CUT
THIRTEEN PER CENT

Four years of low returns from the
potato crop have brought another
cut of 10 per cent m the Wisconsin
potato acreage. Cuts of seventeen
and eleven per cents have occurred
during the past two years so that the
Wisconsin acreage is now down to "a
per cent of the 1922 acreage. The
reduction is greaest in the northern
counties and less in the district about
Milwaukee where local markets. have
kept prices at higher level than for
potatoes shipped out of the state.
Some encouragement for this
years price prospect is found in the
fact that the United States acreage
is cut per cent, and with average
yields the crop may be short enough

Squirrel Pest

Despite his pretty appearance and
amusing ways, the common red squir-
rel is said to be one of the most de-
structive pests found In the woods to-
day. Ornithologists claim that his
depredations among birds rank second
only to those of the hunting cat. and
that he not only kills young birds, as
does the cat, but he will destroy the
eggs before they are Matched. Around
farm buildings he is considered a nui-
sance because of his propensity for
chewing hole through some building
which he has selected as a likely place
TO store his winters supply OF food.

one of the very favorable develop
ments of June weather. Oats and
barley responded quickly to rains of
early June, and although headed out
on short straw the thrifty color and
the way the grain is filling promises
good yields. In eastern Wisconsin,
north of Milwaukee, heavy yields are
in prospect. In many fields in south
ern Wisconsin rain came too late to
overcome the damage that had been
done by drouth, and yields in this
section will run lighter. The con-
dition of SO per cent for the Wiscon-
sin crop is two points above the aver

Except in southern counties, June
weather has permitted barley to
make good heads, fill well, and give
promise of favorable yields.

Various reports timed it from sos

A rumbling accompanying the

GERMAN NOTE
DOESN'T CAUSE

French See in it Simply Note
of Protest Over the
Evacuation Delay

Paris, Jan. 7.-(By the A. P.)-The
German note in reply to the allied
communication on the continued oc-
cupation of the Cologne area was re-
ceived in Paris today. 1t declares
the action. Of the allies is reprisal
and violates clauses of the Treaty of
Versailles.
French official circles regarded it
merely as note of protest, which
does not call for response.
1t is thought likely the allied pow
ers would allow the matter to stand
as outlined in their note to Berlin,
giving notice of their non-evacuation
to January 10 until the final report
of the military control commission
on armament conditions in Germany
is in hand. They then will simultan-
,eously reply to the German protest,
which is signed by Foreign Minister
Stresemann and make known what
their future attitude will be.
