Not a Foot of Railroad i'm Wisconsin.
In 1916 there was not foot of rail.
road in Wisconsin and such wagon
roads as existed were not by any
means macadamized. We drove from
Milwaukee. Father had one team of
big black horses. Whether the rest of
the teams were horses or oxen, [ do
not recall. We went first to James
vile, where father had cousin, James
@. Case. The city of GAINESVILLE was
sefterward plated upon part of the
Case farm, so it must have been very
close to the town. Here we stayed
some two years or more. The
land i'm this region known as
Jefferson Prairie) was already pre-
empted, so father set out to find
sonnet hing desirable in some
other portion of the state. | do not
Temem Der what inducements led him
to decide to settle in Sank county.
AT that time there was a great deal
of land granted in so acre and 100 acre
land warrants. These were as salable
as negotiable paper and were often
Brought up by city spectators to be
sold to would.be settlers. Father pur-
chased the right to settle upon these
grants, going to Mineral Point each
time to get the land warrants Issued
until he had acquired some $50 acres
on the Wisconsin river, (most of
which he afterward sold to David
Felt), and 800 acres in West Fairfield,
aand which is now known rs the
Getchell and Newell farms.

Cream Separators.
Come in and see the Simplex Cream
Separator at work. IL is considered
the best made separator; there is no
point bearing to wear out and all bowl
and spindle trouble is done away
with. The Simplex Is guaranteed for
LIFE. One of them has been running
continuously at the factory for 10
months and shows no sign of wear.
We also have an automatic cream sep

Milking Machines.
We have the only practical milking

time makes the farmer almost indie

Local Merchant Denies Navy Boycott.
Communicated

MIR. Editor-An article appeared
in Baltimore paper this morning
which stated that the Naval Academy
authorities had boycotted the Annap-
oils merchants. This is untrue and
unjust to the authorities at the Acad-
envy. / have received most courta-
Gus treatment from Captain Logan
and his senior assistant, Lieut.. :
Commander r. c. Bulmer, and was
informed by these officers that any
representative merchant of Annapolis
could get permission to display his
goods in Bancroft Hall, providing
they don't go beyond the rules.
This is done principally to keep the
midshipmen from contracting too
many bills, also to give the fourth
class a chance to buy their needs
for September leave as they are not
allowed much liberty out in town.
BY this arrangement the fourth class
would have as much chancs as the
upper classes, and that the Army and
Navy cooperative concern, which
was mentioned in the article, does not
receive any more consideration from
these officers in authority than any
other concern, as everyone is'treated
alike.
