| The graphite in OlLDAG Is deflocculat-
ed, that is. sub.divided to molecular fine
ness, in which state it will pass freely
through standard filter paper. When
mixed with motor oil, the tiny particles
are carried into the crank bearings and
to the cylinder walls and piston rings,
where they form film, providing these
parts with more perfect fit than it
is possible to secure through maehin-
ing. The friction and noise in the bear
ings is greatly reduced, while the fit in
the walls and rings increases compress

Gentlemen
We are using Atchinson's Oildag in
our f. NJ. i. 80 and are pleased to say
we are getting very satisfactory results
from same. With the ordinary oil as
previously used, we could not get over
200 miles per gallon of oil, but by mix
ing the oildag with il we find that we
get considerably in excess of 600 miles
per gallon. At the same time it seems
to greatly improve the operation of the
engine, eliminating smoke and also
greatly increasing the Hill climbing ca
pacity of the machine
Very truly yours.

fne time has now come to take stock

The budget valuation and taxes were the

which is making a valuation more
thorough and uniform than would have
been possible under any system of rat
ing reform carried out by local authori-
ties. The budget taxes are being slowly
collected, and the claims of the local
authorities to share the proceeds are
under consideration.
on al these three points-the valuation,
the taxes and the division Of the pro-
c.eds between the state and the local
.-uthorities-the time is ripe for further
advance. Public opinion is demanding
something simpler and more workable in
Vs.lation and taxation, the transference
of the burden of local rates from build

September 10th to 18th inclusive. The
exhibit will include a model showing
the possibilities or road relocation,
charts and diagrams showing amount
of work done in 1912 and to be done in
1913, and what is probably the most
complete pictorial exhibit of road con-
struction ever attempted in any state.
Experienced engineers will be present
to give advice on any phase of road or
bridge construction. This exhibit will
be placed next TO the Germania build
ing, and on the same space with an ex-
tensive exhibit of road machinery to
be displayed by manufacturers in this
line. Altogether, the exhibition will
be one in keeping with the tremendous
advancement in Wisconsin along the
lines of permanent road construction.

evening, but all out buildings escaped;
H. A. Hulsether of Stoughton had
$1,000 insurance upon the building and
$3.50 on the furniture, which means a

alone was worth $4,000. Mrs. Hart set
fire to some bacon rinds and refuse IN
the range and thought nothing serious
would result. In the course OF an hour
the whole upstairs was found ablaze.

Life Crushed Out by a Bull.

The lifeless form of Edwin Russell, an
employee on the VIM. Birkinbine farm,
was found Wednesday evening in the
pasture on the farm, whittier he had
gone in the morning to transfer the
cattle to another pasture. Among the
herd was bull that was accustomed
to run with the stock, but has shown
no signs of viciousness and was not
considered dangerous, but Wednesday
morning he must have been ugly and
when Russell came into the pasture the
bull attacked him, crushing the mans
life out. No one saw the terrible cpl
sode, so no one knows the awful exper-
fence Russell went through before death
came. When found the body was face
downward and the upper portion of the
body badly crushed, nearly every rib
being broken.
Wednesday morning the men on the
farm went away for the day and when
noon came and Russell did not appear
for dinner nothing was thought of it
because those in the household thought
he had gone with the other men.
Russell was about As years of age and
claimed that his home was near Du-
buque, Iowa. Sun Prairie Countryman.

ANOTHER FARMER ALSO INJURED.

Ole Seamonson, the well known
farmer living a short distance north of
Stoughton, had disastrous experience
with a Holstein bull Saturday morning,
in consequence of which he is confined
to bed with two ribs broken and numer-
GUS bruises. In the morning the bull
is at liberty in the barnyard, together
with the other cattle, ann has not been
considered at all vicious, but when Mr..
Seamonson crossed the yard with a
pail of water for one of the horses, the
animal started for him, knocked him
down twice, and doubtless would have
killed him had not Mr.. Seamonson.s
two sons, Carl and Oscar, come to his
rescue. AS it was, Mr.. Seamonson' s
left ribs were broken and he was badly
bruised, but his injuries are not consid-
cred dangerous, although his advanced
age of 73 years will make his recovery
slow.

Key. Mac1nnlS goes TO the M. T..
conference at Milwaukee next Tuesday.
1t is four years since he came to this
charge and the call is almost unanimous
to have him returned. On the other
hand, Mr.. MacInnis is more than salts
fed with all conditions here pertaining
to his work and nothing would afford
him more satisfaction than to remain
another year. From an outside view it
would look as though better relations
never existed between pastor and con-
gregation. But for all this, Mr.. Mac
Innis would willingly move providing
he could secure a charge in the vicinity
of Appleton where his son Earl will at
tend college the coming year. And his
desire to change for this reason cannot
be criticized And may good luck at
tend your conference trip, is the wish
