MORE BUSINESS FOR THE WAGON
COMPANY.

Consolidation With the New STRAIT
man Vehicle Co. Effected.
The officials of the Edgerton Wagon
90. have during the week negotiated
consolidation with the New Stratman
Vehicle Co. of Dodgeville and on JAN
uary 1st the materials, tools and stock
will be transferred to this city and be-
come part of the Edgerton Wagon
Go. A committee consisting of Andrew
Jenson, Nels Halverson and C. w.
Birkenmeyer We're in Dodgeville Satur-
day when the deal was closed.
The Stratman Vehicle Co. manufac-
lures line of farmers milk wagons
on which a very large business has been
built up in the dairy sections of the
west and have on their books orders for
$50 wagons for spring delivery, which
will be filled from the factory here.
Mr.. w. w. Huxtable, who has been
secretary and manager of the Dodge
vile concern under the new arrange
ment, will take charge of the manage
ment of the Edgerton Wagon Co. and
push the sales of the milk wagons
through " distributors who already
handle these vehicles.
On the face of it it would seem ap-
parent that the consolidation is bound
to work to the advantage of our local
enterprise in that it secures an estab-
lished business and the services of
man who has built it up. The factory
at Dodgeville had outgrown it's present
quarters and Mr.. Huxtable was looking
for more central location in the dairy
district when the proposition to consol-
idate with the Edgerton Wagon Co.
was made and our new factory build
ings seem an especially appropriate
place to move to. An agreement there
fore to exchange their factory for stock
in the Edgerton Wagon Co. was easily
arranged, and Mr.. Huxtable is expect
ed to remove his family here and take
active management of the factory soon
after the new year.
1t looks as if our new wagon factory
would be busy place the coming year,
furnishing employment to large num-
Der of hands and become valuable ac-
cession to the business of our city. It
is not too late, however, for those who
might desire to take stock in the local
enterprise to do so and help boost along
a good thing.
A state factory inspector was in
town Monday and looked over the new
wagon company's plant which he pro-
nounces we'll equipped and up to date |
as factory building. His O. K. speaks
we'll for Superintendent Nels Halver-
son who designed the arrangement and
installed the machinery with view of |
economical production. The first con-
signment Of sleighs made in this fac
tory was put out this week.

In the morning at 1920 Pastor Mac

At 7:3O p. m. the subject will be

At the Thursday evening prayer

The Mems Aid society has been reor-
ganized into a Brotherhood Club with
the following officers: President, d.
w. North; Secretary, w. H. Pomeroy;
Treasurer, C. III. Babcock. All who
were members of the Aid society are
considered members of the Brother
hood. The object of the Brotherhood
is to provide good fellowship, to inves-.
tigate conditions of needy people and
in private way to minister to their
wants. Much has been accomplished
in the past few days. My friend, no
doubt Providence has been kind to you,
remember there are some not so well
situated, not so well provided for as
you. Present a little gift out of your
abundance to some needy one. Happi-y
ness will pe theirs and pleasure yours
thereby.

humble judgment, there are greater
and by far more appropriate subjects
for Sunday evening. A sermon or ad-
dress from the pastor of the Congre-
gational church would have accom-
plished more good. He may not be so
learned as the Madison scholar, but our
belief is that his judgment is superior
and will accomplish more for the uplift
of society. The earnest prayer by the
pastor and sweet singing by the choir
of that church advanced us more to-
ward the goal Of good than did the wild
moan about 'sno coal or phosphate three

NO POTOMAC TRIP FOR YALE.
Crew Not TO Meet GeorSetowu-Othc
Races Undecided,

There have been persistent reports that
the Yale crews would go to the Potomac
River in the Easter holidays for a training
trip and that a race with the GeorRetovn
varsity eight would be an Incidental. Ac-
cording to John A. Kennedy, the Yale
rowing coach. this report did not originate
in New Haven and Yale is not to make the
trip The Easter vacation at Yale has
been very much shortened. which puts the
journey out of the question.
The matter Of a return race with Penn
sylvania still appears to be undecided. and
the New Haven folks have thus far fixed
upon only one regatta. that with Harvard
at New London. The date for this even
has not been settled. There is a difference
In time between the commencement days
a. New Haven and Cambridge which has
stood in The way OF an easy settlement
Yale rowed against Pennsylvania last year
for the first time in years The Red and
Blue won the race. which was decided on
the Schuylkill. That is. the Penn varsity
beat Yale, but the Blues second varsity
won from the Penn second.
Columbia has been in hopes OF arranging
a race with Yale TO be rowed here on the
Hudson. There is a good course on the
New Jersey side. where the New Workers
row right along. which has appealed TO
Coach Rice of Columbia as a good place
for deciding dual races II was planned
to have Yale come down and to have an
observation boat or SO to run alon ide
the crews while the race was being rowed
IL was thought that having a race in New
York would help to stimulate interest in
the Columbia crews.
Even though they have finished so we'll
y at onGhkeepsie for the last three seasons,
the effect OF this has not been sosgood az
would be victory in race with a big
university like Yale right here in these
waters. The Columbia folks have not
given mp hope OF getting IHle TO row here
especially as the New tavenites have moi
decided on any other preliminary races

There is great interest in the announce
msnt that Georgetown will develop a
freshman crew this season in addition 10
the varsity eight. The Washing zton folks
never before have attempted to put a frst
year eight on the water. The only other
crews outside of the varsity have been
prep eiRhts. although a Georgetown four
did take part in one Of the races at PouEh-
keepsie some years back
Georgetown has been 80 much In din
culties for material that IL was not though
likely that men enough could be spared
from the squad to make up a freshman
