AMERICAN TRUCKS

have been prohibited except for such

This action, presumably by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer Regi-
maid McKenna, eliminates a long
series Of efforts on the part OF the
British trade to prevent further
American competition. Tied up with
government orders to such extent that
they could not supply private users
and later released to some extent for
private trade with government con-
tractors, British factories have been
unable TO supply British business men
with motor delivery and haulage
equipment. There are now some
thirty lines Of American trucks rep

number OF releases Of product for pri-
vate sale were granted some Of tha
truck firms which have since been
withdrawn, so that with the demand

by tie government to put up with in

MARKED ROADS To
BENEFIT N0TORlST
Practice of Labelling High
ways of Great In
pOrtance.

A few years ago such thing as n
:oute definitely named and marked
for the guidance of the travelling pub-
lie was unknown. Roads were known
locally. and were considered only
from the local standpoint. The pos
sibility of road having a relation 70
other states or to the country at large
WIS not realized. Consequently the
conditions of the roads in yarious
communities have depended upon the
enterprise ard progressiveness Of
those communities alone. Since the
era of the otor car with the at.
tending promotion Of marked routes
q great impetus has been given to the
improved roads movement. The or
gar lied interests of The through route
associations have assisted isolated
communities and have induced them

suited In definite action being taken
by each individual locally in such a
manner as to carry out one general

Practically all of the marx ed routea

perfected organizations Of interested
reputation. together with the most
humble person along the route. have
been closely identified with this move
n,ent. The com animation of the ef-
forts OF all the Interested people be-
tween these two extremes has resulted
In a movement which has awakened
the whole country to realization of
the fzct that the time for definite ac-
ton concerning the road problem Is at
hand. Strength always results from
organization, and the strength oh
tained by uniting the interest OF the
general public far surpasses any pos
sessed by state and county officials or
isolated road legislation
A large amount of enthusiasm has
been displayed by motor car users
JIom the standpoint of the rtotor car

experience of Wisconsin librarians, !"
says the Wisconsin Library Bulletin; as
statistics show gain of rs per cent in
the circulation of the ten larger libra

Perhaps it would interest the people
of Edgerton to know what is being
done in our own little library. From
Monday morning, Jan. 10, to Saturday
night, Jan. Is, 529 books were circu-
lated. And the following subjects
were looked up and material furnished
during that time: Fire prevention,
Verdi, History of crotchetting, en-
broidery, tatting and basket weaving,
Aida (opera), Delphian oracle, Cata-
combs, Black Hawk war, Explorers

WILMA BATES.

Miss Wilma Bates passed to the world
beyond at half-past ten clock, Sunday
night, January 23rd, after but a few
days illness, the result of an acute at
tack of Brlght's disease.
Wilma was born in the town of Por-
ter q years ago, and after finishing
the public school there she attended
the Edgerton high school and graduated
in the class of 1907. Since then she
has been engaged in teaching and had
just begun her ninth year as teacher in
the Magnolia district. She came home
i'll last Thursday, and although every
thing that medical aid and loving hands
could do was done, it was of no. avail
Wilma was very lovable little per-
son and made friends wherever she
went. A father and mother and one
sister, Mrs. George Kothlow, besides
other relatives are left to mourn her
loss.
The funeral was held at the home on
Wednesday afternoon at l o'clock, con-
Quoted by Rev. F. w. Schoenfeld, after
which the remains were tenderly laid
to rest in Fassett cemetery at Edger-
ton.

Obituary..

[. o. Brictson Died of Heart Failure

I. o. BrictsOn Died of Heart Failure.
The particulars concerning the death
of I. O. Brictson at Victoria, Mexico,
are conveyed in letter written by his
son Otto to sisters in Edgerton, Slough
ton and Deerfeld under date of Jan. Is.
The letter stated that Mr.. Brictson
was taken i'll the day before he died
with a stomach disorder with which he
had been troubled from time to time
for some years. The immediate cause
of death, however, is thought to have
been heart failure. The remains could
not be brought to Wisconsin because OF
Mexican law providing that inter-
ment must be held in Mexico and the
remains must remain where buried for
a period of five years. The funeral
was therefore held in Victoria and was
attended by all of the Americans in the
city. Mr.. Brictson was nearly 65 years
of age. His widow will remain for a
time with her two sons on the home
ranch. Conditions in the section of
Mexico in which is located the Brictson
ranch are said to be quiet, it being 1900
miles distant from the scene of the re-
cent bandit outrages.
With the death of Mr.. Brictson,
passes one of Wisconsin's most inter-
esting men. At his home in Deerfield
he was the conservative president of
the Bank of Deerfeld, owner of consid-
cradle real estate and owner. of the
largest tobacco warehouse in the state.
In Mexico he was the logged, tenacious
fighter of those who sought to under
mine his title to his vast possessions
and ultimately take them from him.
His fortunes in Mexico, until recently,
were always potential ones. Ten years
of court litigation, instituted by a
Spanish count from whom Mr.. Brictson
purchased his hacienda of 1000, 600
acres, was fought from the lowest to
the highest Mexican courts. Mr.. Brict
son finally won out and died in posses
sion of his lands. He spent seventeen
years in Mexico.
His long fight to keep his Mexican
holdings proved cumulative strain on
Mr.. Brictson's physique and weakened
him, it is believed, to a breakdown
which brought on his death just as he
was in position to enjoy the estate he
had fought half score of years to re-
tain.
