Packard Co. Has New Arrange

Away From Residence

Modern efficiency experts are al
ways deyising some new way OF cut

making every minute count, not only
so profits may be maintained, but bet

One of the latest stunts in the coal
business is the '1wheel-in" and STOW
ing crew. Just as the householder
becomes worried about the big pile of
coal dumped into the street from a
big Packard chainless truck, the
slowing" crew dashes up. And they
come in style, too, by light delivery
car, which carries four to six men and
wheelbarrows, shovels, planks. etc.
In a jiffy the equipment is On the
ground The men place planks on the
lawn so that the sod will not be cut
and the work of making the big coal
pile vanish is on under the direction
of the foreman, who knows just how

of the men load and other wheel, 50
there is a continuous procession. AT
last every bit of the precious coal has
been thrown into the bin. The men
load their wheelbarrows and planks
and shovels on to the delivery car and
are off to some other point.
That the work of a "wheel-in" crew
may be carried on with the utmost
efficiency it is necessary that the coal
firm lay out a definite route Of de-
liveries each day. The big Packards
then start out. dumping two tons here,
three there. five at some other place.

neither the trucks nor the "wheel-in'

for the ''wheel-in'' men use broom on
the pavement.

SOURCES OF STRENGTH.

Already, before the presidential cam
paign has fairly opened up, it is plainly
apparent that President Wilson will
have many sources Of great strength in
his candidacy for reelection. During
the last three years the national admin
istration has done 50 many great things
in line with the true spirit of the
Declaration of Independence that it has
strongly intrenched itself in the hearts
Of those whose hearty desire is for I'M
diluted Americanism.
Business men, big and small, who
want only equal rights to the open door
of opportunity, without special favors,
know that through the reserve banking
act, and kindred legislation, the New
and is blessing the commercial life Of
the nation
Farmers plainly understand that for
the first time in fifty years they have
been given due consideration by the
national congress. The rural credit act
is not yet in practical working opera
ton; but it is eminently fair and ought
to have been enacted long ago. 1t will
soon prove its great worth.
But doubtless the administration s
strongest support will come from work
ing men, organized and unorganized.
The whole spirit Of Wilson's great mind
and heart is Democratic, against that
which is Tory. When he said that all
reforms worth while come from below,
and not from above, he spoke out Of a
well stored mind, and with a clear
vision. He rightly holds that the labor
question is the question of human well
fare; that labor is not a mere commod
ity; and he knows full we'll that when
the historic Old Democratic party of
jefferson and Jackson became as a
plant grown up in its youth it was be
cause it championed the just demands
OF the labor organizations of the early
days of the Republic. Chief among
their demands was that for free public
education, as against charity schools.
The placing Of those two great law
yers, and great Americans, Judge
Brandies and Judge Clarke, upon the
supreme bench marks we'll the liberal
policy of the Wilson administration. 1t
is a policy which will draw strength
from many sources.

HUGHES IN FAVOR OF
NATIONAL SUFFRAGE
Presidential Candidate Would
Force Measure on States.

New York, Aug. 2.-Charles E.
Hughes has declared for an amend
ment to the federal constitution pro-
viding for woman suffrage. Mr..
Hughes's views on the subject were
made public in a letter he has written
to Senator Sutherland of Utah.
Mr.. Hughes letter was in reply to
telegram received from the senator
asking the nominee to define his per-
sonal position with regard to the
equal suffrage federal amendment.
Washington, Aug. News OF Mr..
Hughes announcement was received
with unbounded enthusiasm at the
headquarters of the Congressional
Union for Woman Suffrage. State
monts were issued by Miss Maude
Younger, Miss Lucy Burns and Mrs.
Addy Scott Baker predicting that the
women of the West would rally to the
support of Mr.. Hughes and contrast
ing his attitude with the insistence of
President Wilson that suffrage Is
state issue.

sound and we'll stated; but along with
it there comes another thought of great
importance. He points out the great
increase of the wealth of the farmers;
but the increase of farmers has not
kept pace with the increase of wealth.
In fact the counties of Grant, Green,
Iowa and Lafayette, taken together,
showed a decided falling off in popula-
ton from 1870 to 1910, namely 5,573.
Grant alone showed an increase i ,026
during that period. Leaving Grant
out of the question, the other four
counties show a falling off Of 6,601;
La Fayette county alone 1884. This
does not tell the whole story, because
from 1870 to 1910 there was quite a
large aggregate increase in the popula-
ton of the cities and towns of south
western Wisconsin.
The decrease in population in this
section of the country is due to changed
industrial conditions. Mr. Him, him
self, is the son of a pioneer miller, who,
over on the Blue River, ground the
wheat of his neighbors into -four The
milling industry has been concentrated !;
and the old fashioned country miller is
no more. Beef raising is doubtless the
chief contributing cause of the loss Of
our inhabitants. Very few workers
are needed in the beef raising industry.
"A kid and | ran 700 acres of land last
year." said a townsman to the writer a
few years ago. AS doubtless they did.
Their feeders were bought in the spring
and all man and the boy had to do was
count them and give them salt, and
then ship them away again in the fall.
Dairying pays better returns than beef
raising; and naturally the keeping of
COWS and caring for them requires more
workers; but the milking machine is to
some extent supplanting the young men
and maidens who MIXED in the good old
way. The tendency is towards large
holdings of land; and the owner and
holder Of large tract Of land can
afford the easier way.
This article is written to point out
conditions; not for argument, nor to
prescribe remedy.
In the convention which framed the
constitution of Wisconsin a determined
effort was made to limit the individual
private ownership Of land to 100 acres :;
and the proposition was defeated by
only narrow margin. Some countries
levy a graduated tax on land, to encour-
age small holdings.

selves it would be very easy to defeat them
The people of Wisconsin have spoken repeated
ly on the question of progressive legislation and
on the control of trusts and corporations and
there is no question as to where the majority of
the voters stand now on these questions. There
are just enough stalwarts in both parties to
make disturbance without accomplishing any
thing.

voters than ever and large percentage Of the

'The ground of the decision" the
