MEDFORD, Wis, June 20 (NANA.).
The return to the direct exchange of
commodities through barter instead of
using money is already at hand for
w. H. Conrad, publisher of the Medford
Star-News and president Of the Wis
consin Press Association. For him the
inquiry, What are you going to use
for money!" is not merely facetious
question.

fireWood. He owns several more CORDS
of firewood ready and waiting Tor him
on Tavlor County farms. and that will
be hauled to him as soon as he can
find a place for it.
All this wood is in payment OF sub
scriptions to his newspaper. Some time
ago the suggestion was made in Iowa
that every one buy 10 bushels of ware
house corn and use the warehouse re-

money. Mr.. Conrad knew commodities
were as plentiful and cash as scarce in
Taylor County as i'll Iowa, and he de-
cided the time had come TO accept sub
scription payments in commodities.
The farmers were not Slow in re-
spending. They brought in wood. They
brought in potatoes. SO many potatoes
that not only was the Conrad family
supplied with more potatoes than it
could eat, but all the employees of the
paper had all the potatoes they could
use.
Chickens. geese, ducks, lamb. veal
were offered. The word went around
that the publisher was accepting COM
modities, and farmers, other than those
seeking subscriptions, who could not
sell the produce anywhere else, brought
their stuff to Mr.. Conrad. In a num-
Der of cases he was able to dispose of
the produce for the farmers.
But meat, potatoes and wood were
not the only things offered to the pub
Usher for subscriptions. Choke cherries
were plentiful last year, and the editor
was offered choke cherry juice in ex-
change for his paper. Not only cherry
juice, for some subscribers offered the
juice of the currant, the dandelion and

CHICAGO. June 20.-Another Ca

four brothers. two of whom, Al and
Ralph have made gangland history in
Chicago.
Albert was questioned bv police in
suburban Cicero in connection with an
attempt early yesterday to bomb the
home of Mayor Joseph G. Cerny, whose
election last April was hailed as death
blow to the rule of the Capone gang
in CiceroS affairs.
The bomb, hurled from a passing
automobile ripped hole in the side
walk in front of the mayors residence.
Mayor Cerny and his wife were spend

Chief Of Police John l.. Sullivan, who
was "farmed" to turbulent Cicero by
the Chicago Police Department, led a
squad of men to hotel where Al Ca
pOne once maintained an armored
apartment and arrested Albert Capone
and II other suspects. The police were
uncertain as to the motive for the at
tempted bomb outrage. They believed,
however, that it was either the work of
Communists who have been refused
permission to hold meetings in the
suburb. or gamblers whose establish
mentS have been closed.
Albert had no police record previous
to his arrest yesterday. He gave Chi
Cago as his address. One of his BROTH
ers, Frank, was killed by Chicago police
in Cicero in 1924 in running gun fight
during an election. His brothers. Al

Most Of the So leading bankers,

Conform With the Opinions
Of the AskOv American)
KEEPING OUT THE NEWS
(Hennepin County Review


There probably isn't newspaper
published in the civilized world but
whose editor, with discOuraging reg
ularity, is implored to keep this and
that and the other piece of news tout
of the paper" The requests are made
by friends and foes alike, and many
times they place the editor in a who'll
ly unfair position.
Ever so often The Reviews editor
is asked not to print certain news
scribers forces him to print it never
theleSs, he is at once set down by
those whose requests are refused as
some sort of an migrate whose par
ticular delight in life seems to be
the publishing of unpleasantries.
The editor or publisher of any news
paper worthy of the name faces a
two-fold duty. A good newspaper is
a public trust, none the less than is
a public office at the hands of the
county or state. To merit that trust,
the newspaper is duty-bound to print
all of the news which concerns the
welfare of the community, and the
pocketboOks of the taxpayers.
Aside from its function as a semi
public servant, the newspaper which
accepts 50 or SO. cash in advance,
from several hundred or thousand sub
scribers, has contract to perform
with those subscribers. When John
Jones walks into the office of The Re-
view and lays down two dollars on
the counter he does SO with the un-
derstanding that in consideration of
his two dollars The Review will send
him regularly each week, for the peri
cd of one year. all of the news of i'm
portance i'm the community.
For these two very substantial rea-
sons, the editor who keeps this and
that out of the paper every time some
one wishes to avoid the glare of UNI
pleasant publicity, is an editor un-
worthy of the good traditions of the
Fourth Estate. Readers often forget
these things, but if they would place
themselves in the position of the edi-
tor-if they would but fancy the diff
ticult business of attempting to per-
form a public duty honestly and at
the same time never to offend some
eight thousand readers-we like to
believe they would be less generous
with their criticisms.

their butter output in 1881 but due to
lower prices, their cash to patrons is

us hope for better prices in 1882.
However, low prices mean that there
must be more efficiency in butterfat
production if there is to be any chance
to win out. Weed out the poor pro-

duces less than $50 pounds of fat a
