Wisconsin. Thursday June st 1916
Went Into the Ditch

A near accident occurred on
the Ashland road near the yicin-
ity of Long Tressle last Sunday
afternoon when a large Mitchell
touring car driven by Judge
Risjord of Ashland went into
the ditch at the side of the road
as it was attempting to pass a
car from this city. The road at
this point is very narrow and
both cars met on the fill at the
bottom of the ravine. The car
from this city was brought to a
stop when the Risjord car at
tempted to pass and in doing so
slipped off the bank into the
marshy ground and went in so
hard that it took a number OF
men and several automobiles
considerable time in pulling it
out. The side of the car hit a
log which prevented it from
toppling over. The car came
out without any damage.

Finish Fine Well

G. Gustafson & Son, artisan
well drillers, have just com
pleted the work of installing a
5 inch dust proof case we'll on
the farm of County Surveyor
w. w, Smith near Sioux River.
This we'll is 205 feet deep and
has about seventy-five feet of
good pure, soft water. The we'll
was drilled at the top of a hill
and some hard soil and boulders
were encountered, but the we'll
completed is fine one.
Gustafson & Son are now
drilling a we'll on the farm of
Charles Peck near Sioux River.

Delicious Ice Cream

The White Rose Creamery
company are certainly demons
trating that they are able to
turn out fine ice cream since
they installed their new ice
cream machinery and the run
on the institution has been so
great that they have been unable
to supply the demand.
Manager Mckinney feels very
jubilant over the new branch of
the creamery and he says that
within week or so he will be
making enough ice cream to
supply the Washburn trade.
Heretofore the Washburn
merchants have been getting all
of their ice cream from outside
points but with the Washburn
Creamery turning out first-class
cream practically every one of
them will patronize this institu-
tion.
H. E. Taite, the new man in
charge of the creamery, knows
the butter and cream business
from a to 2, and with him in
charge of the plant and Messrs
Maxcy and Mckinney boosting
the business end of the institu-
tion the farmers are assured q
square deal and the success of
the creamery in this city is
assured.

Walter Yankee, son of Deputy

to good nerve and presence OF
mind. AS he was riding down
second avenue east at Ashland

of this city. The lad was com.
ing down the left side of the
street on a bicycle and crashed
right into the Studebaker car

AS young Yankee fell from his

This Cow No Border

John Score of this city owns
a cow, which if it keeps up it's
milk average for a period of ten
months. will net him a profit of
160.40, according to a test
made during the past week by
Max Steinert of the Agricultural
Class of the Washburn High
School,
Stienert's record is made up
in detail. giving the pounds of
milk. the test of the milk.
pounds of butter fat,
cost of shorts, cost of hay, pro-
fit on butter fat andon skim milk
The record for the Score COW
shows that the animal gave All
pounds of milk during period
of seven days. the lowest milk
test being 80 while the highest
test was 4.8.
The cow consumed 88c worth
of shorts per week and 81 40
worth of hay. The gross receipts
from the sale of butterfat and
skin milk would have netted
Sc. 20 while the cost Of keeping
the COW would have been 1928,
making a net profit of $4.o1 for
the week.
The Agricultural class Of the
High school are doing actual
work and the keeping of the
milk record is one of the
branches of their work. Many
cows in the city have been
tested and some have been
found to be netting the owners
very little profit. The cow that
is nothing more or less than
boarder should be put upon the
meat block and better COWS
substituted as milk producers.

Omaha Officials
Ask that New Depot be Built
and that it be Located
on Wash. Ave.

The Viking Club, an organi-
zation of Norwegian Lutheran
church people, are going after
the depot proposition and dur
ing the past week petitions have
been circulated throughout the
city calling upon the Omaha
railway company to erect
a new depot and that the same
be built at the corner of Wash
