new WATER TANK
Being BUILT IN
500 Line YARDS
A new water tank is being built in

A new water tank is being built in
the 500 line yards in this city.
The tank is located on the west side
of the tracks and north Of the old
tank The location of the new tank
made it possible for engines of south
bound trains to take water while the
trains are standing at the station plat
form.
The new tank will have a capacity
of $4,000 gallons and is of wood con-
struction, the dimensions are 16 fee:
by "A feet. The tank sets on 'T''
beams which in turn set on a concrete
foundation.
1t is expected that the tank will be
ready for use in month.
This new tank will be connected
with the 4 inch pipe that was put in
over a year ago with two inch pipe.
The old tank will be removed as
soon as the new one is placed in COM
mission.
Some people look upon the construc-
ton of this new tank as an indica-
ton of the building of the much talk
ed of ''cut-off." However, the Re
porter is informed on reliable a7tthori-
ty that this "eut-off" will not be
built this year.

WISCONSIN
CAN Mobilize
1000 MEN
Adjutant General Holway Says
State Troops Could Be Modified at
Camp Douglas in "a Hours.
(By United Press Association. }

(By United Press Association.)
Madison, Wis, April 21.-If an
emervency occasioned the necessity
for it, Wisconsin could mobilize 1000
trained soldiers at Camp Douglas with
in "a hours after the call was issued.
This was the statement of Adjutant
General Orlando Holway today.
From the information we have at
hand, Wisconsin is the only state that
has detailed schedule worked out for
the mobilization of it's state troops"
said General Holway. ''In just "a
hours the railroads, under our agree
| ment with them, can furnish equip
ment and place same at the starting
place of the trains.
Every company of the National
Guard has instructions as to what
train it will take, the time it leaves,
and even the cars in which the indi-
vidual soldiers are to sit.
"While no action has been taken by
the adjutant general, owing to the
fact that no authority has been grant
ed by the war department, it is esti-
mated that in this same time, "a
hours, every company can be raised to
war strength. The companies were re-
| Gently enlarged from a complement OF
IS men, peace strength, to 81 men, and
the captains of each company have
been instructed to conduct tentative
recruiting campaigns which would re-
suit in raising the strength of $50
men, or full war strength. General
H0lway said that he was of the opin-
ion that every company could be rails
ed to war strength shortly after a
call had been issued.
A new schedule providing for the
increase in the size of the Wisconsin
National Guard, is being arranged b.
the adjutant general and the railroads.
Last year Il trains, including cars for
the men, baggage cars, horse cars and
all, necessary equipment, were neces-
sary to transport the $500 troops that
modified at Camp Douglas. The in
creasing Of the strength of the COM
panies to 81 has necessitated the add
ing Of five more trains to the schedule.
In case the war department orders the
guard increased to war strength, still
another schedule will have to be pro-
vided.

A fire Of unknown origin starting in
a clothes closet at the home of Ben
Epstein, 18th st. and Washington Az
enue last evening about o'clock did
damage amounting to between $50
and $50.
Several suits of clothing and cloth
ing belonging to Mrs. Epstein and the
children constituted the principal loss.
The wood work in the closet and adj
joining room was damaged to some
extent.
Mr.. Epstein and VIM. McGlynn put
the fire out with buckets before the ar

The immense volume Of smoke
which filled the house led the occu-

No one is so independent as the
farmer; he doesn't have to truckle;
if he is insulted he can resent the in
suit without fear of losing trade, and
there is no earthly reason, with the
improved farm machinery he now has
in use why he should not have an g.
hour day and such leisure for read
ing and study as would soon make
him one of the best informed men
in any calling. Why shouldn't the
farmer be all this and more? Surely
he has the possibilities.

Seeding and planting is the order of
the day. Every farmer who may be
truly called farmer is busily en-
ployed in putting in his crops. The
croaker or paper farmer is sitting
about on store boxes at the village
store whiting and deploring the state
of the weather; "too wet to pillow or
plant anything" while last week it was
too dry. The weather is never just
right for those fellows. They, like
Wilkins Micawber, are waiting for
something to turn up, instead of go
ing out to turn up something.
