The dust is fast settling after
three months of political upheaval.
Several elements entered into this
campaign that were new in the polit-
ical game. The most important was
the suffrage vote, and the only issue
In the Republican campaign was to
defeat the party in power.
The Republican party, drunk with
success and power, believed all they

Press. which came forth with an edi-
torial wall that Washington nomi-
nally Republican state-has turned
the tables and cast majority vote
for q Democratic president and gov
ernor. This wall is to the effect that
the ballot is new to the women and
that they cast their ballots for Wilson
through sentimentalism (Which the
Democrats preached) and turned a
deaf ear to logic and cool judgment.
The Republicans claim they made the
good old-fashioned G. o. P. appeal to
cool judgment and overlooked the
play to sentimentalism and so went
down to defeat. If what the Repub-
hcan party put forth was logic and
m appeal to good judgment, we are

This blind editorial that was in

voters is in reality the greatest trib-

Washington, or the nation. II both
candidates weighed even in the bal
ance of wisdom and efficiency, 1t is a
comfort to know that loyalty and
efficiency will overrule wealth and
criticism in electing a president Of a
great nation.

Change

A former resident of Grand Rapids,
writing to a local resident about the
desire of some to change the name Of
Grand Rapids, has the following COM
ment to make:
[ am returning the enclosed card
protesting against changing the name
of Grand Rapids, to you instead of
sending it to the wood County Re
porter" You may turn it over to
Albert and tell him that this repre-
sents all the Bezoier Des Marias Clan.
Your letter gave me the first in
formation I had. It doesn't seem pos
sible that the people who desire this
change, or, suggested it, did it seri-
ously if the reason that you mention
ed that there is another town in Michi-
gan by the same name is the only
reason they have for changing the
name of Grand Rapids, Wisconsin. 1t
seems to me too silly and ridiculous
for consideration, for, as long as mail
is handled by human hands and sub
ject to human inefficiency, just so long
will there be mistakes made.
The people who want to change the
name Of Grand Rapids Wisconsin, and
expect as a result that all their trou-
bles so far as the receipt of mail is
concerned will be ended are expecting
too much, and will pay too big price
for what they will get. For example,
our general Offices are located at In
dianapolis, Indiana. There are ten
branches centrally located in ten dis
tricts covering the United States. Tt
is very common occurrence for US
to receive mail here at Minneapolis
that is plainly typewriter addressed
to the Van Camp Products Company,
indianapolis, Indiana. We receive
mail addressed in this manner from
San Francisco, Atlanta, New York,
Boston and from all large centers in
the United States.

CREOSOTED WOOD
0NFARN

Madison, Wis, Aug. 4.-The use of
creosote for lengthening the period
of service Of timbers on the farm is
illustrated by a small model farm
which has just been installed in the
Forest Products laboratory at Madi-
son. This model and a similar one
which is being used for exhibit pur-
poses by the National Lumber Manu-
facturers association were made by
Dean A. Schweichard, who graduated
this year from the manual arts course
of the University of Wisconsin.
The green fields and orchards sur
rounding the farm are enclosed with
fences supported by fence posts with
well creosoted butts. Near the barn
is an open tank treating plant, a de-
sirabIe addition to the equipment of
any farm Tt consists of one or more
strong tanks which may be heated
either by a fire built beneath or by
steam coils if boiler is available.
A wooden silo with creosoted slaves
is also shown. In the local telephone
line which passes the farm the poles
are creosoted from the butt to a point
we'll above the ground line. The porch
silIs, steps, and the timbers in the
bridge across the creek have also been
treated with the oil to prevent decay
which ocurs most readily in such damp
locations where there is poor circula-
ton Of the air.
Even the railroad which crosses one
corner Of the pasture shows a good
penetration of creosote in the cross
ties on which the tracks are laid. The
wood blocks with which the barn is
paved also have their share of pre-
treatment.
Although the effects of the creosote
are at first sight conspicuous, yet
