BRITISH PLAN MUDDLES ARMS MEET
IN OUR
VALLEY

n LII up and down the Valley, farmer,
u are talking about how best To or
ganlze for the marketing Of their prod.
ucts.
The farmers have come to the real;za.
ZION tlat their salvation lies in theil
own hands, that farmers must lead in
the movement to work out their own
future.
They realize that the markets of the
country will consume a certain amount
of fresh vegetables. This being true
they face the task of working out some
plan that will not result in flooding Ger
tam markets, to their great loss, while
others that are overlooked have a
healthy demand for their stuff.
antthere is no definite plan as yet
They are thinking hard, with the hope
that before another shipping season
rolls around something definite will
hare been developed.
Two meetings with this end in view
have been held this week In one case
the potato growers in the Fresnos-
Brownsville district have Jointly agreed
that next year they will set price ev-
cry "a hours, based on market condi-
tions, and every grower agrees that
nothing will move under that price.
1t is merely loose organization they
have formed, the sum and substance of
it being a sort Of gentleman's agree
ment.
Up at Weslaco yesterday, there was
another meeting called BY the VALLEY
Df
of some farmers of the uper Valley who
believed the time has come for the farm
ers to act for themselves.
No plan developed, nor was one
desired. Chairman Baker, farmer,
declared that the meeting was called
principally for the purpose Of "starting
something"
Marketing organizations have risen
and fallen in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. There have been many sults of
organizations, the last ten years having
witnessed the development and aban-
donment of the Unit Marketing System
and the Rio Grande Growers Ex-
change.
The general system now most favor
Su' apparently. Is the organization or q
marketing system by commodities, with
perhaps single general direction to
keep overhead at a minimum.
As one speaker pointed out, what is
good for the cabbage grower may not
be good for the potato grower.
The Valley is fortunate that it has a
class of farmers the average of whose
Intelligence is greater than in any sim
liar area anywhere in the country. If
it is possible to create a workable plan
and live up to it, it seems that the
Valley is most admirably situated for
it.
The farmers should have the active
support in all their efforts Of the bank
ers and businessmen generally. for it is
upon the success of the farmer that
their own success depends.
The Valley will not move forward as
it should until the grower can realiz.
a profit on his efforts.
A new use for the canals of the Val
ley is reported by the Donna News.

without notice to their friends The

Jurors Find He Did Not Strike
Mrs. Y~Oung-ROping Stunt
Figures in Case

Earl leighton is not guilty of third
degree assault upon the person of
Lillian Gardner Young, a jury in JUS
tice Of the Peace Axtelrs court de-
cided Wednesday. The trial was held
at the court house.
The alleged assault occurred early
last month. Mrs. Young claimed that
leighton not only knocked her down,
but added insult to injury by dropping
a lariat moose around her neck and
dragging her several feet. The trouble
arose over the removal Of some hogs
from a barn owned by the Kopp COM
pany, Of which leighton is an en-
ploye.
The principals stories of the af-
fair varied considerably, especially as
to the degree of violence and the
language alleged to have been used.
The jury, however, after being out
only a few minutes, returned a verdict
Of mot guilty."
At the trial the state was repre-
scented by County Attorney E. A.
Peterson and leighton by Attorney
R. II. Keister.

SHOOTING CASE IS
TRANSFERRED HERE

Formal order transferring the
Park county case of the state versus
E. D. Harmed, charging with the
shooting, last January 1, Of Otto
Zinnell, to the district court here for
trial has been issued in Livingston,
according to advices from that city.
The change Of venue was applied
for on the ground that the defendant
would be better able to insure himself
a fair and impartial trial. The tech
nical charge against Harmed is as
sault with intent to kill. The shoot
ing occurred following an argument
at a dance in celebration of the New
Year. Trial will now be had before
a jury in Judge Ben B. Laws court.

Milwaukee Man Fined.

George w. Young, a member of
the firm of Young & Young, patent
attorneys of Milwaukee, was fined
in Forest county court at Crandon
yesterday by Judge w. A. Wescott
for violating the game laws. Young
paid q fine of $500 and costs for
hunting deer during closed season
and headlighting at night. Young
has been located in a cottage at
Franklin and Butternut lakes and
was caught by Warden Devine
with venison in possession. From
reports in that section he had been
shooting female deer and violating
in one of the worst methods any
man could be guilty of-that of
shooting and manning does who
are raising their young and who
are not fit to eat at this time. Il
man is pretty low in every scale
when he wilfully kills a female
deer, even though the season was
open. The Forest county judge is
a real sportsman and is said to
handle violators with spiked gloves.
We commend him in this.

FIND BODY OF SUICIDE
Woodsman Found Dead Near
Woodruff Cemetery; Dead
About Three Weeks.

Despondent because of his inn
paired finances, which necessitated
begging for money and meals, Law
renee Spencer, so, a we'll known
woodsman, was found dead near
the Woodruff cemetery with a
bullet hole through his head.
A new revolver, with one cham
Der empty, found beneath his body,
told the story of dependency and a
desire to end his suffering. The
body was found in a clump of
bushes.
Spencer had been dead about
three weeks, it was said, and the
body was badly decomposed. No
inquest into the death was held
necessary by Corner Hildebrand, as
evidence of suicide was conclusive.
About a month ago, or a few
days before his death, Spencer
bought the revolver at Woodruff
hardware store. A day or so after
wards he was seen in Woodruff and
Minocqua attempting to beg money
with which to buy food.-Rhine-

ANGLERS LASSO A BEAR
Harry Keith of Crandon Tells
Story of Fishermen Who
Roped a Big Bear on Stone
Lake.

When Harry Keith of Crandon
first told us that fishermen on
Stone lake between Crandon and
Laona were using bears to propel
their crafts while angling in that
lake, he was not believed. On top
OF that he also informed us at the
same time about how two deer
were using the pools in that same
lake for their daily baths during
the extremely hot weather. Again
he was not believed.
But, now the bear story is YER
flied and an apology is due Mr..
Keith. The facts of the bear story
are true, and shapes up something
like this: A couple of young men
were fishing on Stone lake and
espied an animal in the water
swimming toward shore. They
rowed close and discovered it was
black bear. Men and bear were
Of different opinions; the bear
wanted to get ashore, while the
men wanted to catch it. An anchor
rope, with moose prepared, was
thrown over the bears head and
the fight was on. First trying to
get into the boat, he was beaten
off and then started for dry ground.
He made a perfect imitation Of
six cylinder motor and kept up the
speed until he was near shore when
the moose was loosened from his
neck.
The story is absolutely true, and
witnesses claim that the young
men took desperate chances in hal
tering the bear to the boat. The
deer story is not unusual at all.
Deer frequent a lake during the
hot weather in order to drink and
drown out the flies, and most any
lake in this section which deer fire.
quent shows up these beautiful
animals most any evening or in the
early morning.
Harry Keith is vice president of
the Keith & Hiles Lumber Com
pany at Crandon, and our apology
goes to him for doubling the bear
story. He is a mighty good scout
and booster for Northern Wis
consin. That's why we thought he
was pulling a strong tale. He was,
and was able to get away with it
this time.

Talk ArOuses Interest.

A particularly interesting talk
before the Mems Civic Club was
given Tuesday evening by Prof. H.
Stewart of the Vocational Schools
Of Green Bay. The work of these
schools, as described by Prof. Ste
wart, is to meet the needs Of the
1919 of boys and girls in our larger
towns who do not go beyond the
eighth grade Of the public schools.
The vocational schools discover
the particular aptitude of each boy
or girl and trains the youth to
make success of the trade for
which he is fitted. Prof. Stewart
gave the men present much to
think about. Supper was served at
6:15 o'clock in the dining room of
the Congregational church. The
presence of a number of Eagle
Rivers summer colony added to
the interest and success of the
meeting.

BOUNDARY CASE is UP
Final Hearing on Wisconsin
Michigan Controversy Will
Be Held Either at Menom-
onie or Hurley in August.

Final hearings on the Michigan
Wisconsin boundary dispute will
be held either at Menomonie, Mich,
or Hurley, Wis, probably begin
ming July 81, Robert M. Reiser,
special counsel for Wisconsin, an
nounced last week Thursday.
The last hearing was held in
March, and since that time attor-
neys for both states have been col
lecting more evidence to substanti-
ate their respective claims to the
territory involved.
Since both sides have consider
able evidence to introduce, the
hearing probably will continue for
ten days or two weeks, Attorney
Reiser said. The bulk of Wisconsin
evidence to be introduced will seek
to show the several ways in which
Wisconsin has had jurisdiction over
the areas involved for the past 70
years, particularly the area around
the Montreal river, he stated.
The Michigan enabling act places
the boundary along the main chan
mel of the Montreal river, and
Michigan's contention is that the
West Branch has always been the
main channel rather than the East
Branch. Other disputes deal with
islands in the Menomonie river and
in Green Bay. Most Of the evidence
Of both sides on the latter two dis
putes has already been submitted.
Special Attorney Meredith and
Assistant Attorney General Carl
D. Mosier represent Michigan in
the dispute.
