ing with steam. Young Ander-
son had endeavored to build an
engine and was using an empty
beer keg for the boiler, but
when the steam got up to
sufficient pressure the keg
bursted and pieces struck Ander-
son, cutting his jaw, his head
and bruising his shoulder. The
injuries we're not sufficient to
lay him up.
The engine which Anderson
was experimenting with, was OF
crude make.

Money Growing Cucumbers

The following item taken from
the Oconto Reporter will give
some idea of the money to be
made in the growing of picking
cucumbers.
Some time ago "a gentleman
representing the Heinz Pickle
Co. was in the city for the pur-
pose of interesting the farmers
of this section in the growing of
cucumbers and it was stated at
that time that if $50 acres could
be contracted for the growing of
cucumbers a pickle factory would
be established by the company
in this city. The farmers of this
city knew little of the growing
of cucumbers and were therefore
somewhat skeptical about sign
ing contracts.
Recently two Washburn men
went to Hayward for the pur-
pose of looking up statistics rela-
tive to the growing of cucumbers
in that section and they found
that some had made large re-
turns from their land while
others had made but little money.
We therefore publish the follow
ing item:
Oconto Reporter: Some of the
farmers who have raised cucum-
bers this season for the Alart
and Mcclure house have re-
ceived good returns, running as
high as $138 an acre in some
that have been reported to us.
The following amounts are shown
on the books of the company as
having been paid patrons:

Bridal Chorus
(Long Green)

Here comes the groom,
Pale as a sheet.
See how he stumbles
All over his feet.
Notice his gloom
Sadness complete.
He'd give his shirt
For chance to retreat.
He has the gold ring
Tucked in his vest.
So, why this worry?
Why this unrest?
Woe and alas!
A thousand alacks!
The poor gink's forgotten
The dime for his tax.

be tolerated in Wasnburn so long
as the voters of the city decide
not to license saloons was made
known on New Years day when
Chief of Police Gideon Chauvin
and Patrolman Joe Arseneau and
a number Of individuals raided
the rooms over the Burns build
ing on Bayfield, street where a
beer party was in progress.
1t is said that two or three in
dividuals made a trip to Ashland
on New Years eve where a good
sized keg of beer was purchased
and this was hauled across the
bay on a hand sleigh and was set
up in the rooms over the Burns
building, with pump attached,
and the party proceeded to cele-
brate the dawn of the New Year.
Had it not been for the fact
that several of the members of
the party got boisterous and
made their way from the build
ing the party would probably not
have been discovered. But one
young man went home in the
morning and when he attempted
to return to join the party the
mother made complaint to Chief
of Police Chauvin and several
members of the Civic League
were also notified and a raid on
the premises was planned. The
raid was carried out at about, ten
thirty o'clock and from twelve
to fifteen persons were discov-
cred in the building in the act of
drinking up the beer.
While the names of the party
were being taken down several
made an endeavor to escape and,
several who were more noisy
than the rest were placed under
arrest and taken to the city lock-
up. The keg of beer and pump
was also taken to the lock- up.
On Friday afternoon the cases
of the four arrested, who were
charged with being drunk and
disorderly and disturbing the
peace, was called before Munici-
pal Judge George A. Calder, and
all pleading guilty, a fine of five
dollars and costs, amounting in
all to $500 each, was placed
against them.
The same day warrant was
sworn out against Charles
Hawkes. who was charged with
giving away intoxicating drinks
without first having obtained a
license or permit therefore as
required by the chapter (this
being impossible in a dry town.
and the case was called for trial
Saturday afternoon at two O.
clock.
From the crowd present it was
apparent that a good deal of
interest was centered in the case.
District Attorney Charles F.
Morris, who was out of the coun-
lty, was not present to prose-
cute, and the trial was set
for Monday afternoon at two
Io'clock. The term of District
Attorney Charles F. Morris ex-
pired on the first Monday in Jan
uary and the new District Attor-
lney Alfred M. Warden was given
the duty of prosecuting the case.
The case was called again on
Monday afternoon before one of
the largest crowds that has ever
crowded the court room, but
there being an error in the
warrant, a new charge had to be
made and the hearing was set
for Tuesday morning. The court
room was again packed with
people and the trial of the case
was had before Judge Calder.
Four witnesses were sworn by
the state to show that Hawkes.

tic About Merits of New
Auto He is to Sell

The Diamond State Automobile
Company announces that it has taken
the local sales agency for the well
known Mercer Automobile, and Will
have a demonstrator as soon as the
factory can supply him, probably
about January 1, 1916.
Il will be remembered that at the
recent auto races at the State Fair
one of the Mercer raceabouts carried
off unusual donors under the spec
tacular plotting of Roy Freck In
speaking Of the Mercer. Mr.. Mancill
said: Il think we have something
now that will please the fancy OF
the most exacting automobile buyers
in Wilmington. The Mercer car Is
100 well known to need any introduc-
tiOn by us. l can say, however, that
for the next year they will not de-
part from their policy OF building
only four cylinder cars. They have
these in FIVE beautiful models, each
one of which is a dream in itself. The

The Mercer owner is in a class by
himself. There is nothing in the
automobile field today just like this
car. and for beauty OF line. power,

and comfort in riding and finish, |
tell you, the Mercer is hard to heat
az any price.
I'VE expect TO exhibit the Mercer

"and anticipate that it will attract
much attention from visitors"

SAYS CARS STOP

An element which the prospective mo
torist seldom takes into account in his
estimate OF the benefits which his car
will bring, is the inspiring influence
which the ear brings to the health and
strength of himself and his family.
Many life has been prolonged BY a
doctors prescription that consisted sole
ly of one motor car, taken in regular
and frequent doses. More often than
not, so doctors say, the cars advent
marks the loss OF many a remmerative
patient who, given this added incentive
to regular, pleasant outings in the open
air, has been entirely cured of some real
or imaginary ailment.
Especially is this benefit noted among
persons of advancing age TO whom a
daily outing or two in the open air often
proves a restOrer and an agent of pro-
longed life and good health.

proportion Of the sunlight during the
day, and at night are lighted by cleo
tricity. Telephone connections with
the quarters have been made, and
everything is in readiness for their
occupancy. The walls Of the rooms
are beautifully papered and the win
lows are draped with curtains, to
match the rug-covered floors.
The furniture of the room is ex-
cellent Chairs for the comfort OF
the members have been provided.
The walls have been hung with
numerous pictures of the associations
athletic teams, and pictures Of its
gatherings at athletic contests. One
Of the outstanding pictures is that of
the presentation of the pennant TO the

1t can safely be said that the Penn
sylvania Railroad Athletic Association
has the finest quarters Of any athletic
club in the city.
The association believes in following
the principles Of the motto which has
been placed before the people of vii.
ming II, /. e., "Boost Wilmington" The
committee in charge of furnishing has
purchased all musical instruments, fur.
niture, draperies, etc, from local mer'
chants. In fact, it is the scheme of ths
association to not only provide ways OF
entertainment for those connected with
. the railroad, but to create a friendly
feeling and good fellowship among th'
citizens. and it is their desire that the
affairs of the association should be 81
carried on that Wilmington viii know
that this organization exists.
The officers and members of the Y. NJ

STORAGE BATTERIES LIKE TIRES

"a storage battery cannot run on
one-half a charge" says G. c. Unger,
local representative Of the Willard
Storage Battery Company, or with
insufficient supply OF distilled water
10 keep the electrolyte up to the
proper level, without serious injury.
This acts Just like the abuse of tire
by running on sixty pounds OF air
pressure when it should have eighty
bounds. The owner does not realize
that anything is wrong until after the
damage is done and his tire is rlm-cut
and ruined.
Batteries. like tires, begin to wear
out as soon as they are made, whether
used or not, because the battery is a
chemical apparatus and chemical ac-
lion is going on to some extent at all
times in the same way that rubber
becomes brittle and loses its life.
