Fertilizer Prices Increased.

Commercial fertilizers are being
used by some Wisconsin farmers IN
the production of such crops as tobac-
co and potatoes and other cash crops.
But because of the rise in prices due
to the war, the sale of commercial
fertilizers has greatly decreased dur
ing the past. year.
With the increased prices it be-
comes more and more necessary for
the purchaser of these fertilizers to
know their real value.
That it. is impossible to tell the
value of a commercial fertilizer from
its appearance or order is one of the
points brought out in a bulletin on
Commercial FertiliZes, What they
Contain and their Uses" which has
just been issued by the agricultural
Experiment station, Madison. The bull
letin also gives list of the fertilizers
licensed for sale in the state together
with their chemical analyses. A valu-
abel discussion of the different ele-
ments such as PHOSPHORUS, potash
nitrogen, ammonia, and lime is IN
cIuded. While they alst copies Will
be sent, on application, to residents
of the state.

THE ORBIT.
Fine Editorial Work Knocked in the
Head by ROttei Printing.

The Orbit, the official annual of the
Watertown High school, has been
placed on sale
Notwithstanding the announcement
hat the book was produced in this
city, there is not a word Of truth in
he statement. The Orbit was printed
md bound in Milwaukee.
The editors of the book expended
oreditable energy in giving the read
ers good, live reading matter, and
lot a department in it's composition
an be criticized.
The printing is not creditable when
poor ink distribution which makes
he cuts appear notified, offsetting and
)ther defective work is considered
The cover is pretty
1t should be explained in this con-
lection, however, that those in charge
# the publication are not to blame
for sending the work out OF town.
That condition was brought about by
1 printing Office accepting the job and
then peddling it in Milwaukee.

Trout Die In Irrigation bitches.

Washington, June 19-Thorough
tests of devices to prevent fish from
entering irrigation bitches are to be
made by forest service, officers, who
say that thousands of the trout placed
in western streams by the government
are killed through being carried into
the bitches and washed out on the
fields. There are not less than 1,200
irrigation projects on or near the ma
tional forests, and in many places the
loss of trout is heavy. The amount of
water used in irrigation, it is said, Of
ten determines the advisability Of ar
tificially stocking the streams.
The government annually plants
large quantities of fish fry in the
streams of the national forests. Last
year over 100000 were planted in
Colorado and Wyoming alone. This
was done to render the forests more
attractive to the public by afforGing
good fishing. Where much of the
water is used for irrigation, unless the
bitches are screened, the trout enter
and are washed out on to the fields.
While fish are said to make good fer
tiIizer, officials think thai trout are
too expensive to be used for that pur-
pose.
Most of the states il the west have
laws requiring that the bitches be
screened, but these laws are seldom
enforced. The farmers are said to dis
like the screens, because they collect
|drift-wood and trash-which prevents
the free flow of the water. Often, too
it is stated, the farmers can supply
their families with a mess Of fish by
collecting the trout which are found
IN the fields.
A number of devices for screening
the bitches are in use, and while two
or three have been found to be fairly
effective most of them are said to be
unsatisfactory. 1t is asserted that
this subject presents an excellent op-
portunity for inventors, since a sue
cessful screen will be sure to be wide
" used Under present conditions
officials are slow to recommend that
the trout be placed in streams where
they are apt to be led off into the irri
cation bitches.

INSPECTION OF
FIRE APPARATUS
MAYOR, FIRE CHIEF, ALDERMEN
AND OTHERS TAKE A JUNKET
TO MADISON.
We're Given An Auto Trip About Town
and Enjoyed Sumptu0us Spread
by Madison Firemen.

The demonstration of the combina-
ton chemical and hose car motor
trucks, given Monday in Madison by
c. G.. Watson, Chicago, for the mayor,
chief of fire department and a majority
of the aldermen Of Watertown proved
satisfactory, and all were impressed
with the tests given.
The motor trucks were put to a
severe test
They were run up the highest hill
in the city at full speed without a stop.
A good record was also given by the
Junior pump. In the afternoon a
test was made from one of the hyd-
rants in the university grounds. This
hydrant is located in one Of the high
est spots in the city Without the aid
of the pump, a stream of water was
forced from the hydrant mouth at a
pressure of rs degrees, and later on
through an rs inch hose nozzle, 1872
degrees.
It'll the "T ,nior" pump attached to
the fire apparatus a 165 foot stream
lydrant and 115 degrees through the
aozzle
The pump will also work from a
suction lift. This gives it a special
advantage in suburban districts and
small towns where it might be neces-
5ary to draw water from a stream or
rom a well.
This pump has high rating with
ire companies in other cities the size
Of WatertoWn and larger At the re-
;ent convention of international Asso-
citation of Fire Engineers at Cincin-
natl, the combination chemical car
With the pump delivered 315 gallons
1T $50 pounds pump pressure.
This motor also has a low mainten-
ance cost as periodical inspection of
cars in service are made without
charge to the customer
The motor is made by the American
Ia France Engine company of Elmira,
n. Y, and weighs $500 pounds with
all apparatus.
The WatertOWn representatives
present at the demonstration were:
Mayor Mulberger, Fire Chief CHASER,
Robert Kerstell, engineer Phoenix,
fire company No. and Aldermen j.
E. Bremen, G. Kerr, Jr, w. Wede-
meyer, J. Kessler, c. GIatzel, J. Knick,
w. Beurhaus, w. Gruetzmacher, H.
Bublitz, c. Harte, c. Kohn and C.
Xleman.
The local people left with a good
Impression of the Madison fire depart
ment.
They were given a trip through the
city and an excellent lunch was served
afterwards.

NEITHER WILSON OR
HUGHES TO Be PRESIDENT
Secretary of State Lansing Fills
Office on March Through
Odd Custom.
BRYAN OvERLOOKs HIS CHANCE

Here's trick to play on your worst
enemy.
Approach him with an air of hum
ility and ask him to have a cigar. Then
casually lead up to the question of
politics. Boom whatever candidate
you feel. Gradually get him interested
in your talk. Then spring your bomb.
With an air of nonchalance say, 81
have read all the newspaper and
magazine articles, know the party
platforms and have spoken to leading
politicians on the presidential can
didates. After due consideration | be-
lieve that l can safely and truthfully
say that neither Hughes or Wilson
will take the oath of Office on March
4, 1917" Indications are that one of
these men will surely fill the Office
next year. Dear friend enemy will
say Its like taking candy from a
baby" and Immediately will place bet
on his man. Then when the stake
holder has the money bring forth the
facts presented here.
Thomas Lansing will be president on
March 4, 1917 This is the truth fol-
it happens that March 4 falls on a
Sunday, and by custom, inauguration
day cannot be observed on this day
Both President Wilson and Vice-Presi-
dent MarshalIs term expire on that
day and so the job of running the
country falls on Secretary of State
Lansing. He is not only president in
name but has all the powers that are
connected with the position. He may
appoint men, receive diplomats and oc
cupy the White House if he wishes
He may even go as far as to be out
going president on Monday and de
liver a farewell speech and welcome
| the new president.
!. Poor Bryan! If he only hadn't beer
so hasty about resigning.

.BERTO'S APPEAL
TO GRADUATES
Explains at Eighth Grade Graduating
Exercises How High School
Education Is a Benefit.
PLEADS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION

A strong appeal for higher education
was made by Superintendent of
Schools, T. J. Berto at the graduation
exercises of the eighth grades of the
Watertown public schools on Tues
day evening at Turner opera house.
"Too many people believe Mr..
Berto said that ones education is
finished as soon as he is through with
the eighth grade Nowadays as soon
as one is graduated from the eighth
grade he accepts the first position with
some money to it that is offered him
He cannot see how high school edu-
cation can help him. Putting his edu-
cation on a money basis he says to
himself, Here | am earning money
(perhaps 81 or So week.. If I go to
high school / will stop earning the
money. Therefore I cannot afford to
go to high school"
Mr.. Berto showed how the eighth
grade graduate could afford a high
school education as it was sure to
pay in the end. He presented figures
based on the Brooklyn exhibit at the
Pan-American Exposition comparing
the earning capacity of students who
left school at the completion of the
eighth grade and those who left school
at the end of high school. From COM
piled statistics Mr.. Berto explained
that at the end of eleven years a
graded school graduate will have
earned S5,11250, while a high school
graduate at the end of only seven
years will have earned $7,337.50
The hall was deliberately decorated
with flowers The decorations gave
dash of colors to the scene and sweet
scent from the flowers filled the air.
The piano music, recitation and
songs rendered by the students were
entertaining. The songs given by the
class were "Stars Of the Summer
Night" 1.-THE Union Jack" and "a
Night in. Seville A piano solo was
given by Zayda Strassburg.
REGULATIONS were given by Mollie
Feinberg, Frances Skinner, Irma
Raduenz, Arthur Schumacher, Emile
Schlueter, Anna Borchers and Eva
Zeidler.
Mr.. Berto presented the diplomas
and a march by Eleanor Polzin ac-
companied by Ruth Grams ended the
program.

UNUSUAL FIRES
DISTURB SABBATH
BARN OF SCHEBLAK e HERZOG
DESTROYED BY FIRE THAT
STARTS IN HAY LOFT.
E. Weyher, Owner of Buena Vista
House Uses Garden Hose To Such
Advantage No Damage Results.

Church bells were toIling. The
streets were lined with people answer
ing the summons of the bell Suddenly
the air was rent by the shrek of the
fire whistle and the people We're
startled out OF their customary peace
full Sunday attitude by seeing the barn
o. Scheblak & HeTzog, painters at 215
North Fourth street go up in flames
Before the fire was eXtinguished il
was necessary to call out the whole
fire department. Damage to the
amount of 5000 was done to the prop
erty. The damage included ladders
harnesses, tools and several panes OF
plate glass. The barn was partly in
sured.
Fortunately Mr.. Scheblak had taken
a horse that had occupied the stable
out early in the morning for a drive in
the country. He did not hear about the
fire until in the afternoon when he re-
turned
The fire was discovered by Miss An
ma Maeschke, who is working for Dr.
T. e. Abelman. Miss Maeschke was
on her way to church when she noticed
the flames coming out of the upper
story Of the barn. She Immediately
informed some men who were in the
Service garage across the street. They
rushed back to the barn to rescue the
horse but upon finding that the barn
was empty telephOned to the fire de
partment who soon arrived upon the
scene and after battling with the fire
for about three quarters of an hour
succeeding in putting it out.
A striking coincidence was the fact
that about twenty minutes before, q
fire was discovered in the barn of the
Buena Vista House across the street
from Scheblak & Herzog. No damage
was done by this fire as it was dis
covered before any Roadway was gain
ed. The daughter of E. Weyher, pro
prietor, discovered smoke coming out
of the loft and called her father. He
brought garden hose into requisition
and extinguished the fire before any
damage was done.
The cause of both fires are unknown
