DeerheId

George Storlie and family of Madison
have recently moved onto the Alex
Nelson farm formerly run by Albert
and Ben Nelson.
The big dredge on the Koshkonong-
Mud Creek work kicked into its winter
mornings just south of the London
highway bridge last Monday morning.
The closing down this early was deem
ed advisable because it was found i'm
possible to overcome the Quicksand in
the deep cut about 80 rods south of the
bridge. The dredge worked there for
a long time, throwing out thousands of
yards, but it caved in from the sides
and boiled up from the bottom faster
than it could be dug out.
William Meseke, whose parents live
in Lake Mills, was struck by sweep
and instantly killed last Monday while
driving a team on a capstan for the
Stokes Bros. who are digging the lat
erals for the Koshkonong- Mud Creek
drainage district. Something in the
capstan broke or failed to catch and let
the sweep back with terrific force. The
Stokes Bros. recently bought very
large pillow for this purpose, IL feet
wide and Al feet deep, with wings
about 20 feet from tip to tip, and it
has given them much trouble to handle
it In those wet marshes. A workman
on the same job had his leg crushed re-
Gently and is still in the hospital at
Madison. That accident was caused
by the breaking of an equalizer in an
Lighthouse whiffietree.

stroke of paralysis several weeks ago,
died at her home Friday morning, Nov
%. Mrs. Green was born in Wales in
1924 and came to New York in 1913,
where she was married to James Runs
by and soon after came to Milton.
Upon the death of her husband she re-
turned to Wales, again coming to Mil
ton in 1863. In 1866 she was married
to Richard Green and to them son

The family of Otto Kirchhoff had a
close call to bad fire Sunday night
After they had retired and were all
asleep, the children were awakened by
smoke in their room and ran to their
parents. The lamp left in the children's
room had exploded and before the
flames could be smothered consider
able damage was done to the room and
furnishings. They were lucky, how
ever, to escape with so little property
locs and NO harm +o tha children

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there.
fore requires constitutional treatment.

Fort Atkinson.

The big corn crop this year finds the
farmers with not near enough hogs for
it's consumption. In spite of the high
price for live hogs for several years
our farmers have been raising less
number every year. 1t is also claimed
by creamery men that the number Of
cows is decreasing. Just why these
two things should occur is not apparent.
Mrs. Eliza H. Pearce Moak, daugh-
ter of William and Amy Pearce, was
born in New Hartford, N. Y, on July
19, 1929. She was united in marriage
with Justus Taylor Moak in September,

one year following their marriage and

making their home in WATERFOWL until
April, 1903, when they removed to Fort

Moak Pearce, now Mrs. L. B. Caswell
Jr. of this city, came to live with Mr..
and Mrs. Moak when she was three
until her marriage in 1881.
L. B. Caswell of this city, who on
Nov. q celebrated his 85th birthday,
has long and honorable career to look
back upon. He has served one term as
district attorney OF Jefferson county,
and three terms in the state legisla-
ture. He was commissioner of enroll
ment with headquarters at GAINESVILLE
throughout the civil war. In 1876 he
was elected to congress from the sec

Wall PAPER Hint.

Before putting on new wall paper
it is best to remove the old paper,
and if boilerful Of boiling water is
placed in the room and ali the win
dows and doors closed, the steam will
soften the paper to such an extent that
it is easily removed.

GOV. .MEADLAUDS VERMONT
Speaks Before Bay State Sons and

Loyal Children.

Gov. John A. Mead was guest OF
honor at the annual banquet of the
Massachusetts Sons and Daughters OF
Vermont held in Boston recently: In
addressing the assemblage Gov. Mead
spoke in part, as follows =

Another Independent Telephone Com.
pany Swallowed.

The Peoples Telephone company of
Stanstead, P. O.. formerly an inde-
pendent company connected with the
old Peoples of this county, has been
purchased by the Bell interests after
acquiring several rivals in that terri
tory The capital stock of the Eastern
Townships company, as the new orga-
nization will be called, is $500. 900 with
headquarters in Sherbrooke. Speak
ing of the deal the Stanstead Journal
says: Formerly Peoples telephone
subscribers had county service as far
as the lines extended. Now the
county will be split up into as many
divisions as there are exchanges,
viz: Rock Island. Fitch Bay, Ayers
Cliff, North Hatley and C0aticook,
not to mention Magog.
''In future service without toll will
be restricted to the particular ex-
change to which the subscribers in-
strument is attached; he will have to
pay toll for connection with either of
the above named points. If he don t
like this he can kick and cuss-or Or
ganiZe new company-lf he has the
means and influence.
"Since free connection with people
across the line was abolished after
the absorption of the Vermont Peo-
ple's Telephone Company by the Bell
interests, there has heen a little talk
of an Independent international com.
pany to operate locally in the bound
ary section of Stanstead and Orleans
counties. but srch a company is not
likely to come unless the management
of the new Canadian concern should
become too grasping. No doubt the
Bell interests will dominate the new
Eastern Townships company. Just
what the future holds in store for US
ers of telephones in this district is {
matter of speculation.
Past history is not reassuring
Something. however, may be said ir
favor of amalgamation. A better
service within the prescribed areas il
assured,'

NEW FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.

The new automatic fire alarm sys-
tenn has been installed by the repre-
sentatives of the Loper Fire Alarm
Company of Stonington, Conn. The
master box has been placed IN the
Passumpsic Telephone Exchange. This
box is furnished with seven wheels.
each having a number cut upon 1t,
to rep0esent a portion of the village.
When central is informed by tele-
phone of fire, she selects the proper
wheel for that locality. places 1t on
the shaft and trips the box. The
number of this wheel is automatically
sounded on the whistle The first
blast will sound two seconds alter the
alarm has been turned in by the oper-
atot, showing how quickly the system
operates. Two wires run from the
master box to the fire station near
the depot and these are connected to
the whistle blowing machine. which
takes the signals from the master
box ard sounds them on the whistle.
1t may be adjusted to blow any length
of blast desired. This system Is set
for a three second blast ard a three
second interval. To illustrate, II the
number "a is placed on the master
box, the whistle would blow three
second blast. wait three seconds. DloW
another three second blast, wait SIX
seconds, then blow four three second
blasts with three second Intervals
between each blast. The six second
interval divides the first number from
the second. The sytem is operated by
SIX gravity batteries and protected
from high voltage wires and lightning
by 5-1O ampere fuses. A galvanometer
shows the condition of the battery at
all times and should the current get
below certain point. or should
wire break, a whistle will promptly
report the fact of blowing one blast
so it can be said that the system
watches itself.
The signals are given on twin
bell six inch whistle, nearly three
feet long, which is blown by com
pressed air, contained in a reservoir
twelve feet by four feet. placed OF
the main floor of the fire station.
! The air is compressed to a pressure
of 130 pounds by duplex Westing
house phase, 220 volt motor com
, pressor. An automatic governo
shuts off the motor when the pressure
reaches 130 pounds and starts it ap all
whenever it falls below that point
The village of Barton is to be con
graduated upon securing a moderl
fire alarm, and the residents of the
village surely appreciate the adde
protection which this system give
us.
