GRAIN SACKER
IS INVENTED
Patent For Invention Applied For
BY Fred Bittner And DR..
A. j. SChlueter.

A grain sacker has been invented by
William Harold, carpenter contractor
of this city. The patent rights have
been sold to Fred Bittner and DR.. A. j.
Schlneter who have applied for pat
ent. The continuance will fill a long
felt want and will no doubt be In great
demand when it is put on the market.
Many farmers have seen it and all were
highly enthusiastic about it. The sack
er is simple cOntTivance and is strong
and not likely to get out of order. 1t
takes any size of sack and is adjusted IN
an instant. The sack cannot slip off
or spill the grain. The grain sacker
may be seen at Fred Bittner's place.

Notice to Guardians.

Having just completed very exhaus-
tive and careful examination If all
guardians and trustees accounts low on
file in the county court for the year end
ing December 31st, 1918 | have thought
that the people Of the county would be
interested in knowing somewhat the re-
suits Of such investigation. [ find that
there are at the present time, under
bonds to the county court, col guardians
and trustees having trusts funds liz their
possession and under their control in
this county. These 6O1 guardians aud
trustees are under bonds to an amount
approaching nigh unto two millions OF
dollars. No small sum. The great maj
ority of these bonds are personal, while
others are by surety companies. The
amount value of all personal property, i.
e. notes bonds, mortgages, cash and other
securities now in the possession and un
der control of the 601 guardians and truS-
tees in this county, amounts to 1902 1884,
55 almost one million dollars. In the
addition to personal property OF the val
ue above stated, vast amount OF real
estate, the property of wards, is also in
the possession, or under the control OF
said guardians and trustees. The
amount value Of the real estate so con-
trolled by guardians and trustees, is not
included in the investigation made.
I find furthur that great many OF the
guardians and trustees fail to comply
with the law in the matter of invest
ments. They seem to think it OF trivial
consequence, and do not realize that 1t
is the sworn duty of the Judge OF the
county court to see to it that the law. in
relation to investments, is, as possible
strictly complied with. The greatest
difficulty that l encounter is that of i'm.
pressing upon the minds Of guardians
and trustees that trusts funds cannot be
under the law, invested in promissory
notes, unsecured.
am sending out circular letter, in
this regard, to all guardians and trustees
hoping, by so doing, that In the future
such palpable violations Of the law vii
be avoided. hope for the cheerful co
operation of all guardians and trustees
in my endeavors to fully protect the in
terest of minors, the insane and Othel
incOmpetents.

FRANK FOOTE FOR
STATE SENATOR
Prominent Lake Mills Man Seeks
Republican Nomination at
the Primaries.

Frank Foote, Republican candidate
for state senator from this, the 33rd
district, was born in Owosso, Michi-
gan, February II, 1845. Two years
latter he came with his parents to
Wisconsin territory. The family set
teld in East Troy, where Mr.. Foote'S
boyhood was spent and where he at
tended the common schools. In Sep
tember, 1861, at the age of sixteen,
he enlisted in Company |, 18th Wis
consin infantry, and in December,
1863, re-enlisted as a veteran, soon
thereafter being promoted to the
rank of sergeant. He served until
the close of the war and was honor
ably discharged in December, 1865.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 21.-How

coin Beachey, worlds greatest avi-
ator, does and will do every time he
makes a flight at this years Wiscon-

times each day on Sept. 15. 16. II
and 18.
Beachey is famed as the most skill
full of all aviators and does the most
remarkable things with an aeroplane.
but his scientific and skillful feats
pale into insignifcance when COM
barred with the stunts he accomplished
through just sheer nerve and daring.
The loop and the upside down fly
ing feats are easy for Beachey when
everything goes right. But let the
motor hesitate just fraction OF
second as the aeroplane Is at the
apex Of the loop and tail slide OF
a few feet will mean the death OF the
f1ier. Beachey is no fool. He knows
far better than anyone else just
what chance he is taking. But it's
all delightful game for him-this
sport of risking his neck on the mag
neto, carburetor, wiring and dozens
| of other factors in the construction
| of an Iaeroplane.
"It is simply the dancing along
lifes icy brink and the attendant ex-
citement that makes life worth
while" said Beachey recently.
Chance taking is not business with
me. 1t is a delightful diversion, and
no music lover ever is more charmed
| by listening to the inspiring strains
| of his favorite opera, superbly sung
| by a great artistic, when l am charm
| ed at the hum of my motor when l
am sailing in or out of loop and
