New Rapid Fire Gun.

After a series of tests, the United
States army has adopted a water
cooled rapid fire gun of the type in
use on the European battlefelds.
The barrel of the gun is incased
in a water jacket to prevent its be
coming overheated. This is re-
filled during heavy firing, but when
water is not easily available an ap-
paratus is employed which CON
denses the steam generated in the
jacket and allows the water to be
used over and over again. The gun,
which is operated by recoil, has a
maximum firing speed of about 500
shots minute, a somewhat slower
speed than the air, cooled guns are
expected to fire. But it is expected
to fire a greater number of shots in
long period because of the saving
of the time consumed with the air
cooled gun in inserting the short
feed strips. The regulation 30
calibre cartridge is employed and
the range is l 500 to 800 yards
Ammunition is fed into it by belt
which holds $50 rounds, the shells
being automatically inserted and
elected as long as pressure is exert
ed OH the trigger. The gun, which
weighs ninety six pounds, is set on
a tripod so constructed as to make
the weapon available for use against
aircraft.

Wisconsin has the reputation of be
ing the livestock state from the stand
point of superiority Of herds and
flocks. 1t is the greatest butter state,
likewise the greatest cheese state
1t has the superior pastures and the
best meadows. 1t has more silos than
any other state and is building them
more rapidly than any other state.
Wisconsin is noted from ocean to
ocean as the state of continuous good
Yields of farm crops and for the good
health and vigor Of its livestock
The state is noted, too, for the pro-
duction Of crops and their conversion
into commodities that take the least
fertility from the soil, while comm
anding the best and most stable prices.
Wisconsin not only produces the
best Yields, but so far the best quality
of grains that other states and coun-
tries recognize them as necessary for
seed. The result is that Wisconsin
seed grains find a market all over the
world.

Shooting Affair at IronwOOd.

A man and a woman are at Run
strom hospital at Ironwood near
death S door as a result of shoot
ing scrape In our neighbor city last
Saturday evening. Mrs. Gust Blick-
er, the woman in the case, is suf-
fering with two severe gunshot
wounds in her breast and physi
clans say that she has slight chan
ces for recovery. Red" Iloff, the
man in the case, has a bullet hole
near the heart, but it is said that he
will recover.
1t seems that the details of the
shooting and its preliniinaries are
not really known, but statement
from the woman alleges that Iloff
shot her twice and then turned the
weapon upon himself. They were
occupying apartments in building
Oh Aver street and it is thought
that family troubles eliminated in
the attempted murder and suicide.

Suppose that instead Of Uncle Sam
spending $40 to 800 per acre putting
water on land away from civilization
and waiting 20 years for its return
without interest, he should spend half
that amount clearing upper WiscOn-
sin land and wait 1Oyears for it return
with interest
That isquite supposition, isn't it?
Now, the facts are that Uncle Sam
has been doing the former for long
time-has spent something like $780,
OO0, 600 in doing it--and two years ago
the men In charge said that they could
not get the farmers to take the land
