The WatertoWn high school football

DORNFELD PLANT
NEGOTIATIONS CLOSED
LARGE MANUFACTURING CON
Germ BECOMES OWNER OF
LOCAL IRON WORKS.
VIII Build Tractors and Sugar Cane
Haryesters-Large Orders Are
Already In.

The Dornfeld Iron Works of this
city has been taken over by the Mon
arch Tractor company, corporation
of Chicago and Eastern men, capital-
lied ct $250,000. The corporation is
incorporated under the laws of South
Dakota It's principal Offices are in
Watertown and in Chicago, Illinois.
The plant will be used for straight
manufacturing purposes. The Never
Slip" tractor, machine of the cater
pillar type, made in sizes from to
so horsepower will be the chief pro-
duct Orders for over 100000 worth
of tractors are now in, so plenty OF
business is assured. The heads of the
concern have been building tractors
for many years and have wide trade
connections both in foreign and in this
country Some of the orders now in
are from the United States, but the
majority are for Russia.
At present the plant is engaged in
building sugar cane harvesting ma
chinery for the Luce Sugar Cane com
pany of New Orleans. A large busi-
ness is expected in these machines as
well as the tractor, as they are the
only successful commercial machine
of the kind
The new plant will increase its
force OF men, as it becomes equipped
to handle the work, until it reaches
capacity. The taxes it will pay to the
city will be an appreciable asset, and
not the least of its virtues will be the
advertising of Watertown Enterpris-
es like these are what puts a city on
the map.
Each of these machines does the
work OF from 40 to so men, weighs
nearly $4,000 pounds, and is about s
feet wide, thirteen feet high and thir-
ty feet long Mr.. F. C. Douglas Will
kes, the manager of the Luce Sugar
Cane Harvester Co., has been in this
city for several months and is super
Vising the construction of these ma
chimes which are for shipment to Gu
ba, for the crop beginning in January
Among the orders in for these cane
harvesters are those from Mr.. Manuel
Rionda president of the Cuba Cane
Corporation, which comprises prob-
ably the largest group of cane grow
ers and grinders in the world. An
other purchaser is the Marquis Ra-
mon Pelayo of Aquacate, Cuba, one
of the largest individual growers and
grinders in Cuba.
The combination of this harvester
business with the manufacture of trac-
tors is easily understood when it is
explained that the harvesting super
structure is mounted on a As horse
power Never Slip" tractor, the Luce
people finding that this flat wheel type
is best suited to the heavy work which
these harvesters are called upon to do.
The harVesterS cut the sugar cane
stalks below the ground level with
large rotating circular discs after
which they are taken through the ma
chine, the tops and leaves removed,
and the cleaned stalks fall into an at
tached wagon ready for the mill

AGED OFTEN NEFD
CARE Of HOSPITAL
EXAMPLE OF ELDERLY JEFFER-
son COUNTY MAN BRINGS UR-
GENCY OF NEED OF HONE.
Scientific Treatment In Hospital Pro.
IOnged Life of Aged Man But
Came To Late.

| A well-to-do old man of Jefferson
| County chose to live alone rather than
with relatives; He asked no odds o.
anybody, he had money to buy what
he wanted, but slowly and surely the
day when he would need hospital care
was nearing
For some days his absence on the
visited, aroused the curiosity of his
Ineighbors; an investigation of his
home revealed his pitiable condition a.
he lay in much neglected bed, unable
to get up, with both of his legs in a
gangrenous condition owing to the
age.
He was taken to the hospital where
he was carefully nursed, too late to
save his life which was prolonged for
six months by the care given him by
the Sisters of st. Mary's Hospital.
Had he but taken advantage of the
scientific treatment he could have re-
ceiyed in a hospital before it was too
late, his life would have been greatly
prolonged, and he would have been
saved the excruciating suffering which
accompanies the disease with which he
was afflicted.
This is but one Of the many instanc-
es where q hospital would have given
this man something which the possess
sion of money, alone, did not afford
him.
when you help ST. Mary's you are
helping yourself" is the slogan which
carries a suggestion to everybody
in WatertOWn

NEGROES MOVE NORTH.
Large Numbers Leave South For New
Jobs In Northern Cities.

It is estimated the 100000 Negroes
have moved from southern states to
northern states within the last four
years. A few days ago 300 Negroes
from Florida went through Washing
ton, bound for eastern cities, and
most of them will never go back.
The unofficial explanation of the
great movement is that they are to
meet the scarcity of immigrant labor
caused by the war. The Department
Of Labor is cognizant Of the opposi-
ton in the South TO the removal of
it's labor to other sections of the coun-
try; but, so far as is KNOWN there is
nothing the federal authorities can do
about it In fact, it is said that the
Department of Labor, through its re-
Gently organized employment service,
has unwittingly been a party to some
OF the migration.

WATERFOWL HIGH DEFEATS
FORT ATKINSON TEAM
Lively Battle Shows Locals to be Great
Football Bunch-Feature of Game
is Teamwork.
WATERFOWL 26 FORT ATKINSON 6

The Watertown High school grid
iron warriors wiped out last years
defeat Of 20 to 0 at the hands of the
Fort Atkinson team by defeating them
Saturday with a score of 26 to 6.
AS usual, the locals made it a fast
and interesting game, playing well to-
gether and showing excellent team
work. The lines work on offensive
and defensive work was big league
stuff, enabling those two fighting de-
mons, Art Henke and Shorty" Kehr,
to decorate the field with as pretty a
bunch of gains as anyone could wish
to see.
The visitors soon found they had
a sizeable job on their hands for when
they succeeded in evading the line, the
WatertOWn ground gamers refused to
be dOWned without lot of persuasion.
The team used headwork and football
talent to the best advantage from start
to finish.
Wegeman was good ground gamer,
and Buffmeir and Archie did good
work on the defensive. Both sides
uncorked a few trick plays.
In the second quarter the Forts in
tercepted a forward in the middle of
the field and soon put the ball on the
10 yard line by means Of 25 yard
forward. A third forward was caught
behind the goal giving the visitors
their only touchdown.
When the last touchdown was made
It was commencing to grow dark, and
Henke failed to kick goal After a
few plays, the timekeepers whistle
called the game with the ball in play
in the middle of the field.

POSTOFFICE HONESTY.
Large Amount OF Cash Handled DailJ
BY Employees Without Loss.

No one who has ever worked in a
postoffice can doubt the sincerity and
honesty of the thousands Of employees
in that branch OF the public service,
throughout the country. Money and
merchandise is ratified out of the in
secure envelopes and enclosures on
every postoffice distributing table or
floor. Quite recently $4,000 in nego-
table bonds, good as cash, passed be-
tween a postoffice in Texas and Wash
ington. Every person who handled
the package had a chance to "swipe''
its valuable contents, but it got thru
all right. The policy of sending mon
ey in the open mails is becoming more
general, and millions of dollars an
nualIy now go through in letters, with
rarely any losses.

Indians Predict Mild Winter.

Northern Indians, schooled in wood
craft, through the signs of stream and
forest see a kindly, softened winter,
and their labors thus are lessened.
They will not go to any great exertion
to have their squaws build warm wig
vans they say The Indians base
their belief on the fact of the light
corn crop and the scarcity and lazin-
ess of the squirrels at this time. In
addition, the muskrats are dilatory in
building their habitations; the fur
bearing animals have thin coats, and
bark on trees is loose.-Mil. Daily News.
