New Food Producer

The American Hydrate Co. has erect
ed plant at Waukesha for putting OF
the market new food preparations under
patents granted to Mr.. A. w. Cook after
twenty years of investigation and expert
ments. The factory will handle all kinds
of vegetables, including potatoes, onions,
carrots, cabbage, ETC., from which all
water will be extricated, reducing the
bulk 80 per cent. The product will be
done up in cartons like the various
breakfast foods. To prepare it will only
need the addition of cold water and boil
as if the vegetable was fresh. This food
will indeed be boon to soldiers and
people employed in such work as the
Panama canal building, for now when
thirty pounds weight OF food may be
carried on mans back and will last
three days, with this product he may
carry enough to last thirty days as easily
and have variety every meal.
Estimating Equipment for Interurban.

department of the Westinghouse Elec-

out plans, specifications and estimates
on contracts for the complete electrical
construction and equipment of the new
trolley line between Madison and James
vile, to be built during the coming sea-
son, provided the bond issue is nego-
tiated and the road completely financed
in time. No details of plans are disclos-
ed further than the equipment will be
the latest and most up-to-d date In every
way, with alternate plans for single
phase line if acceptable.
1t was stated by PfaelZer, Walker &
Co., the bankers who handle the first
issues of bonds OF the new trolley lines,
that the project looks we'll and condi-
tons of the territory will warrant an i'm
mediate sale of the lines securities when
issued.
The company thinks the project will
go through this season if certain fran
chises needed are promptly granted, SO
that the work can be started as soon as
the road is financed.

Concerning Fassett Cemetery.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue CT April
10Th wherein you state that s'lots in Fas
sett cemetery have been doubled in
price in the past year," which is true,
you also state that 1.-The raise was made
by the board of directors in order to Gre
ate fund for the perpetual care of the
cemetery grounds" which IS quite mis-
leading. When the price of lots was
petual care. 1t costs a good deal more
a few years ago. Our source of revenue
is almost wholly from sale of lots and
the small amount charged to each one
for the care of his or her lot for the sum-
mer months. The association has two
men hired for seven to eight months,
whose monthly pay is little over $500.
Other expenses, tools, repairs, ETC.,
amount to quite sum, so the members
can see why the price was increased. In
reference to the last purchase of five
acres, which is laid out on the lawn or
park plan, when the designs of the land
scape artist and engineer are fully car
ried out the land will have cost more
than $1,000 per acre, the lots will be sold
at different prices, according to size and
location. The perpetual care of lots is a
matter of great deal of Importance and
no little perplexity. Practically consid
ered no new cemetery ought to be es-
tablished without this being taken into
account. The Executive committee of
Fassett cemetery, however, are ready to
make contract with any lot owner for
the perpetual care of any lot for GER
tain sum, the interest only to be used;
by perpetual care they mean the sod or
grass.
Mounds over graves are no longer con-
sidered desirable. They are always un.
slightly, preventing the use of the lawn
mower, and costing three times as much
for care. If any of the lot owners are
willing to have their mounds removed
enough so that they can be cut with the
lawn mower, the sexton will do it free of
charge. They will then conform more
with the general design and look very
much better. Franklin once said, 81
only need to visit the burying ground of
community to know the character of
the people,
It is the wish and intention Of the
present management to make this a
modern cemetery but in order to do this
they must have the cooperation Of the
lot owners; every lot owner is member
O: the association and entitled to vote
(see by-laws). Now we wish to urge the
lot owners to come out at our annual
meeting, state your wishes or grievances,
help to make the rules and regulations,
show that you have an interest in the
association. The trustees are spending
good deal of time gratuitously and can
see no reason why they should not have
the advice and cooperation of great
many more of the members. Come out
with your advice and counsel and We
will make an Ideal Cemetery.
