Memasha WoodenNare
VII Close Factory
Branch Manufacturing
Plant In This City VIII
Close End Of This Month

A telegram to parties interested
in this city, recently announced the
closing Of the Menasha Wooden
ware Corporations branch factory
in this city as Of July LIST.
Located in Sank Centre several
years ago, this concern conducted
a successful factory for the manu-
facture of wooden buttertubs. Sew
eral men were employed in the
factory, and as time passed the
crew was decreased, until at last
Otto Folkestad was the only man
employed.
This condition resulted from de-
creased demand for wooden tubs,
and the manufacture of paper car
tons, now in general use in cream
cries throughout this part of the
country.

inauguration of the pro-
gram Is in line with present
tendency to help keep rural
young people on the farm and
try to show them how to make
It pay" Mr.. Olson said. The
program is attempting to COM
bat q tendency In recent years
for rural boys to drop out Of
school at the 9Th or 9th grades,
he pointed out. "This should
provide the necessary interest"
he said.
The four point program, outlined
this week, combining a course each

senior high building. A part of
the room will be set apart for
laboratory purposes.
The complete program, he said,
calls for one course each year in
high school in some phase of agri-
culture and practical application
Of what they learn is to be carried
out in projects on their own farm
homes. It includes all types of
projects that are practical for farm
operation. "Out of these there's
an opportunity for students to
make some money" he said. Crop
and livestock projects will be fin

A. P. Pujo Dies; Headed
1912 Money Trust Inquiry

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1.-Former
Representative Arsene Paulin Pujo,
70 year old attorney Of Lake
Charles, died yesterday Of bronchial
pneumonia.
He was chairman Of the House
Banking Committee In the Sixty
second Congress and chairman Of
the subcommittee which made the
famous "money-trust" investigation
in 1912.
The investigation brought the
names of the late j. Pierpont Nor
gan, James A. Stillman and George
F. Baker into the headlines almost
daily and revealed, according to
newspaper interpretations, that a
dozen men exercised extensive con-
troll over much Of the country's

NJ. Cameron"
You don't think Claire
started, fearfully, half afraid to utter
the thoughts that swarmed into her
mind.

"That-that anything really can
have happened to him? That-that
he may be hurt-injured?"
"Of course, I cannot say. 1t would
be a guess and we of the Surete do
not guess, mademoiselle. We get our
facts, and then we know"
No Laughing Matter.
Although the little man preened
himself proudly, there was a serious
note beneath the surface that stifled
the laugh that half started in the
girls throat. This was no laughing
matter. Cameron undoubtedly had
disappeared. He had not communi-
Gated with the Embassy or the
Surete. There was no word at the
hotel.
What do you intend to do?"
"Since you have officially brought
it to my attention, and since we
know something of NJ. Cameron, I
shall make it my duty to find him
if he is in Paris" Bornet answered,
simply. And believe me, mademoi-
selle, if he is in Paris, we of the
Surete will find him. And promptly" I"

you learn something definite about
what has happened to him. Per-
haps I may get some clue"
IF you are determined then, I

tective said First, we shall go to

this matter of the incendiary pow

to see if there is any trace of finger

box. Then they will destroy the

After that, I shall take you to your

Increased World Trade
Seen as Move for Peace

There is both need and oppor-
tunlty" for a tremendous volume of
international trade, DR.. John Lee
Coulter, consulting economist. of
Washington told the 32d annual
meeting of the American Railway
Development Association at the Will
lard Hotel yesterday.
IN support of his statement, he
outlined the following reasons: An
sources, unequal concentrations of
people and lack Of uniform develop
ment of arts and sciences. which,
he said, has caused varying stand
ards of living.
Judging from events. it would ap-
pear that these factors have made
for war, DR.. Coulter said, but the
solution of them could well make
for peace. International economic
conferences, tariffs and less empha.
sis on synthetic products were ad-
vocated by DR.. Coulter as a part of
the remedy for the worlds troubles
Carl H. Wilken, economist of
Sioux City. Iowa, told the delegates
that national economy of s1OO, ,OOO,-
100000 could be realized within two
years and unemployment virtually
wiped out if a parity is established
between farm and industrial prices
This could be largely effected by
tariffs, he explained.
He added that this country is in
reality not troubled by surplus of
foods and that Al 900 900 more plant
ed acres are needed over the 1929
number if the population is to be
fed three full meals a day"
The convention, which opened
Thursday, will adjourn today. George
Spence of the Canadian Depart
ment of Agriculture will be among
the speakers at the closing session.
