AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

Last Sunday at about ten o'clock,
Messrs. c. H. Graham, John I. Morgan
and Michael Roach, were going north
on Sixth street in Mr.. Graham's auto
mobile. When crossing the c. NJ &
st. Paul R. R. tracks they were struck
by switch engine, running east. The
car was struck on the side and was
carried about twenty or thirty feet
along the track and was badly
wrecked 1t was entirely closed and
none of the occupants saw the engine
and Mr.. Rodehaver, who was the en-
gineer on the engine did not see the
approach of the car. There was no
fagman on duty and the whistle was
not blown Messrs Graham and Morgan
were in the front seat and both were
cut up quite badly by the glass from
the windshield and Mr.. Roach was
rendered unconscious by the coming
in contact with the steering wheel.
They were all rushed to physicians
office where their wounds were
dressed. None found to be of serious
nature. 1t was very close call for
the men and it is a wonder that all
were not killed. Had the engine been
going at a greater speed nothing
could have saved them. AS it is, it
will be some time before they are over
their aches and bruises, still all are
able to be about.

ALMOST A DROWNING

Last Friday afternoon, Alois Eek,
delivery man at Chas. Wegner's groc-
cry store, was passing over Stroller's
bridge, when he heard calls for help.
He jumped from his wagon and ran
down to the river below the bridge
where he found that a little fellow.
about 10 years old, had broken through
the ice and was hanging onto the
edge for dear life. Eek managed to
get him out, hustled him to his de-
livery wagon and to the city hall
where his clothes were dried out and
where he was thoroughly warmed I'D.
and sent on his way rejoicing.
His name was not learned. Bows
should keep away from the river until
it is known that the ice is perfectly
safe.

ACCOUNTANTS MEETING
Hon. ]. B. Tanner, Former President
of the Wisconsin State Board of Ac-
cOuntants and Now Dean of LaSalle
Extension University of Chicago, Adj
dresses Society.

The first meeting of the Marathon
County Society of Accountants was
held at the Hotel Bells last Saturday
evening at which time banquet was
served and the forty accountants and
their guests present listened to very
interesting and instructive talk by
Hon. ]. B. Tanner, c. r. A. He said
in part:
While the value of the science of
accountancy is little known outside of
the great commercial centers, it is
really one of the. most ancient of pro-
fessions. Accountancy was well de-
veloped in the Babylonian period; that
whole ledgers as we have them now,
as we'll as law systems, have been
found in the ruins of Babylon. He ex-
planned the American Association of
Public Accountants disarproval of the
Wisconsin G. P. A. law and described
the arduous efforts put forth by him
self and his colleagues in Madison to
give Wisconsin the C. P. A. law, which
was finally accomplished in 1913. He
urged the Marathon County Society of
Accountants of Wausau to form them
selves into live, active and fighting
organization to take part in their civic
affairs and to establish a bureau for
original research, and make of their
society a business laboratory, where
merchant, manufacturer, banker and
farmer could bring their problems to
be solved by the knowledge and ex-
perience found at this laboratory, and
that it lay with themselves as members
of this society to make accounting
| history not only for Marathon county,
but for the entire country.
His talk was interrupted repeatedly
| by applauses, and at the close of the
| speech a rising vote of thanks was
| rendered him.
C. H. May, president of the society,
was Unexpectedly called from the city,
and Miss Anne Monahan, first vice
president, presided.

AMERICAN SOCIETY OF EQUITY
HOLDS nth ANNUAL CON
YENTION

The largest and most successful
convention in the history of the equity
movement was held the past week in
the council chamber of the city hall
of Wausau.
More than 100 delegates representing
seventeen states together with several
fraternal delegates from other farm
organizations participated in the meet
ings which opened Monday, the 18th,
and came to a close on Friday even
ing. While Monday was devoted main
ly to organizers work, the convention
itself got under way Tuesday morning.
The afternoon of the day all dele
gates and visitors inspected the Far
mers Cooperative Packing plant and
in the evening were rendered a BAN
ouet by the Chamber of Commerce.
The banquet was followed by an ex-
tensive and interesting program in
which visitors and home people par
ticipated.
While originally the American So
ciety of Equity was doing propaganda
work only, two years ago the business
department known as the American
Cooperative association was incorpor-
ated and the business OF the latter has
become so great that special COM
mittee consisting of one representative
from each state, one from the Nation
al Wool department and one from the
American Cooperative association,
was appointed to amend the constitu-
ton and bylaws of both the Ameri-
can Society of Equity and the Ameri-
can Cooperative association to enable
both organizations to work in closer
harmony and to the advantage of the
members.
The pooling of Kentucky tobacco of
several million pounds had been COM
pleted by the business department
shortly before the meeting of the con-
vention and netted the Kentucky grow
ers better than 100 per cent over last
year. This in spite of the fact that
| last year the country had a short to-
bacco crop, while this years crop is
| the largest in history. The differ
ence in results is due to the fact that
| this year the Kentucky farmers were
organized while last year they sold as
individuals.
The different farmers organiZa-
tions also reported saving of liter
ally millions of dollars through mar
keting their live stock through their
! own agencies instead of selling to To-
cal buyers as was formerly the case
and still is in unorganized territory.
AS the business success the past
year was very large it stands to rea-
son that the convention was the most
| successful ever held and plans were
laid for more extensive work for the
coming year. One of the prime OBJ
jects of the society being the exchange
of commodities between the producers
| of different sections of the country
through elimination of the unneces-
sary and middleman system.
D. o. Mahoney, Viroqua, Wis, presi-
dent, and H. A. Fuller, Mankato, Mimi.
vice president, were reelected and
C. F. Lowrie of Montana, was elected
director to fill the place of l.. N
!! Robertson, Kentucky, whose term eX-
PRED These three gentlemen together
with NJ P. Johnson of FOLLY, N. D., the
newly elected railroad commissioner
of that state, and H. H. Williams, ST.
Paul, Mimi, hold-over directors, con-
| stitute the board that will direct the
activities of the American Society of
Equity the coming year.
