And "opportunity for very great service awaits if we shall prate to It." Warren 0. Harding entered the political campaign a year ago with that thought ever before him. Service is to him what the biasing cross in the Btavaai was to Constant ine: "In hoe alcao aia acceptance speech he said: "With an unalter- faith and in a hopeful spirit, with a feytan -of Serrite in my heart, I pledge fidelity to our country and to Odin his Labor Bay speech of 1920 he declared: "Work is the supreme engagement, the sublime laxury of life I wish I could plant the gospel of loyalty to work and intercut in ac CMaJifthmat."

The check, which was for $20, was drawn on the First-Fond du Lac National bank, and the bank, instead oi returning it to Mrs. Moquin, turnec it over to Chief of Police Nolan, who put Detective James Silgen on the job. Silgen located Seely at North Fond du Lac and the arrest on a warrant sworn out by the chief followed in quick succession. The authorities are half inclinec to believe Seely's story, and the case was held open until next Thursday by consent of the district attorney Meantime the truth of his story relative to having funds in an Ogdensburg bank and the suspect's record in Waupacn county will be investigated. Should everything prove as Seely says, and if he makes good the worthless check, he may not be prosecuted.

Seely has been working on a farm in the county for the past few weeks.

Although it is still a weakling compared with 1913, It is now worth 66 2-3 cents in buying power at wholesale, compared with 36.7 cents in May, 1920 according to the United States bureau of labor statistics. The dollar is worth most in buying food products at wholesale, with S4 per cent buying power on the farm compared with 1913 standards. In buying food it is worth 70 cents, clothing 53 cents, fuel and lighting 55 cents, building materials 53 cents, metals 83-cents and house furnishing' 4G cents.

Stating it another way, farm products are 19 per cent over 1913. foods are 42 per cent higher, clothes and clothing 90 per cent higher, fuel and lighting 82 per cent higher, house furnishings 118 per cent higher, and metals and metal products 21 per cent higher. The report further shows that in some of these groups, like clothing fuel, prices went up several in October while some lines went down. The general price level is 45 per cent down from the peak of Mry. 1920.

but it is still about 50 per cent above 1913. THREE DEATHS OCCUR IN CENTRAL WISCONSIN Joseph M.

SURPLUS HAY CROP REPORTED ON FARMS IN GARSON-LINWOOD tart West of the Wisconsin Hirer Produced Fair Crop This Tear --Cvantjr Agent Helping To SeU It Farmers in the towns of Carson and LLnwood have a surplus of good timothy hay this year according to Chairmen James M- Fogarty and John Fas- cavis, now attending sessions of the county board. Much of the land in Portage county west of the Wisconsin river is heavy soil and produced a fair crop of hay this year, although not quite as much as usual due to the dry season. "Farmers east of the river -thought they had the best of us a couple of years ago when potatoes were selling around $7.00 a hundred," said Mr.

Fogarty. "This year the tables seem to be turned. Men to whom I have formerly sold around ten tons of hay ire now buying two or three tons. They say they have sold most of their dairy cattle because of lack of feed." Hay this year is of good quality as the weather during haying was favorable. Good quality timothy hay is being sold on the market square in Stevens Point at $20 to $22 a ton.

Prices at the farm are $3 to $4 lower. In past years a good deal of bay has been shipped out of Rudolph but at the present time freight rates are so high that most of the 1921 crop will be sold locally. Mr. Fogarty and County Agent W. W.

Clark are making a list of men having hay for sale and will refer prospective purchasers lirect to farmers. "There is no advantage in shipping hay in from outside the county while farmers have a surplus here," said the county agent. "Many men have no hay at all right now with winter just beginning and our Idea is to bring demand and supply togethe" to tho advantage of each. Good hay at $16 to $17 on the farm is a reasonable price in comparison jjrita other feeds."
