Jewish Representative Out.

JEWISH Representative OuC.
Washington According to the
daily press, Eugene Myers, of Bos-
ton, has withdrawn, by request, as
the representative of the Jewish
race on the mission to Russia. Mr..
Myers was appointed by President
Wilson on the recommendation of
Justice Brandeis.
It was denied at the State De-
partment that any hint had been
received from the Russian govern
ment that Mr.. Myers would be un-
acceptable, and officials said that
not even indirectly had the Russian
government passed on the person
mel of the mission.
Mr.. Myers, it was indicated,
withdrew because there was divi-
sion among prominent and infuen-
tial Jews concerning the selection
of a representative of their race,
all not being able to agree upon any
one person recommended.

Rockford Camp Soon Ready.

Camp Grant, situated four miles from
the business heart of Rockford, where
Wisconsin boys from 60 of the II coun-
ties Of the Badger state will receive
their training in the new national army,
is now more than two thirds completed.
Working force that at times has
totaled 5000 men, Bates & Rogers, the
Chicago construction company in charge
of the work, has pushed Camp Grant
ahead to a stage where it is now fur
Their advanced than almost every other
cantonment in the country, and this in
spite of the fact that the Rockford
camp was one of the last to be started.
According to information received in
this city the Wisconsin soldiers from
all but II counties will be sent to the
Rockford cantonment,e the only excep-
ton being made in the case of the
counties along Lake Michigan whose
contingents will go to Battle Creek,
Mich. This shift means that a major
ity of the Badger state soldiers will do
their training in Rockford along with
some 10000 boys from Chicago and the
two northern tiers of counties in Illi-

Farm Hand Run Down by Auto.

Chris johnson, farm hand employ
ed by Albert Hanson in Albion. was
struck by fast running automobile
while walking in the road near the
Bartz farm owned by Frank Moore,
about $50 Friday evening. The driver
of the car did not stop to see how.
badly he was injured, as required by
law, though Johnson claims he heard a
woman scream when he was hit. The
impact broke Johnson's leg near the
ankle and must have knocked him in
sensible for time. During the night
he crawled to the Moore home where
he was found the next morning in the
yard DR.. Morrison was summoned,
who took the injured man to the James
vile hospital where the fracture was
reduced. He has since been getting
along as comfortably as could be ex-
pected.
The night was dark and johnson is
unable to give any kind of a descrip-
ton of the car except that it was &C.
cupied by man and woman. He had
been in town for the evening and was
walking in the highway when the car
noiselessly crept upon him without any
warning. The officers would welcome
any information leading to the identity
of the driver of the car.

Sunday Excursion to Camp Douglas.

About seventy-five Edgerton people
joined 800 at Stoughton and as many
more picked up at GAINESVILLE and Madi-
son, filling an excursion train of eight
coaches that ran to Camp Douglas on
Sunday last. The majority of those
who went had relatives or friends
among the soldier boys encamped there
and took advantage Of the occasion to
make the trip on day when they could
best be spared from home. The wealth
er was delightful for an early morning
ride and the train reached Camp Doug
las on schedule, about 10:45. Several
hundred of the soldiers were at the
station to greet their friends and con-
duct them to the 4th regiment camp on
the far side of the reservation, a walk
of at least two miles, past the locations
of other regiments encamped there.
Company K, composed Of Edgerton and
Stoughton men, were pleasantly locat-
ed close under jutting bluff on the
east The boys were pleased to meet
their home folks as many of them
brought delicacies not furnished in army
rations. All members of the company
were in the best of health and SEEM
ingly satisfied with their camp exper-
fence so far. The food was plentiful
though plain and well cooked. Lieut..
Wood said he was proud of his COM
mand and the boys were doing splendid.
The company had not yet received
their full equipment of guns and cloth
ing but it had reached camp and would
be issued the next day or so. The
paymaster's call was sounded in camp
during our stay there which was hailed
with much joy. So the boys will have
an opportunity to see some of Uncle
Sans money.
Camp Douglas was busy place on
Sunday with several thousand visitors
there from all parts of the state and
all railway trains reaching camp were
crowded to their capacity. The excur-
sion train left at $40 o'clock but was
delayed from various causes and did
not reach Edgerton until past IL p. m.

Go over the leather upholstery with
wooden cloth dipped in clear water to.
which has been added a few drops of
ammonia If the upholstery is of cloth
it can best be cleaned by spong-
ing with water containing a little salt
and alcohol.
Now you are ready to use the hose.
Be sure to remove the nozzle and blow
the water over evey part of the body.
This serves to wash off as much of the
dust as is possible and to loosen the
mud, or ice, or snow, so that with a lit
tie patience it can be foated off In
cases where the car is exceptionally
dirty, it is well to let it stand fifteen
minutes and then shower it again.
Take a soft, clean sponge and, follow
ing it with a gentle stream from the
hose, go lightly over the body. IF
certain panels are grease spotted, these
should be separately washed with pure
water and CASTLE or other neutral soap,
but with this one exception, bar
soap, soft soap, or soap solution
should never be used on the body
above the chassis.
Grease and road oil collect on the
chassis, and their removal requires
more vigorous treatment and separate
tools Special brushes will greatly
facilitate work in inaccessible corners.
The caustic action of an alkaH soap is
necessary for the removal of grease on
the chassis, but even when used here it
is advisable to employ it in the form Of
a soap solution made by dissolving
pound Of soap in gallon of warm water.
The soap is, of course, rinsed off and
hard stream may be used on the chas-
sis to advantage, but it should not
be directed against the wheel hubs,
for dirt may be washed in and reach
the bearings.

Keeping Finish OF Car Perfect
DON'T About General Preservation the Life Your
and Keeping t cunning Smooth.

You can abuse the engine pretty con-
sistently before it begins to complain.
You can abuse the finish once or twice,
and then YOU have no finish to abuse.
The appearance of the car and the APP
pearance of the finish are one and the
same thing, and appearance goes long
way toward determining the value Of
a house, q horse, or an automobile.
The lack of washing and failure to
wash properly will do more toward
running the appearance of the car
than any other thing. The varnish
of the new car is hardened and bene-
flied by frequent washing with clear
cool water. Mud, allowed to dry or
freeze on the car, takes up all the oil
from the varnish and leaves the finish
streaked and spotted.
Dirt is not the only enemy, for ga
rage gases and even the atmosphere of
some cities attack the finish of the car
which is not frequently washed.
Before you turn your car over to a
garage for regular washing examine
the other fellows car, and see what
they are doing to it, and once you find
a man who knows how to care for the
car properly let him wash it every time
it needs it. A single washing, done
carelessly, will destroy the lustre
that careful washing has preserved
for months.
Start in by cleaning the top. Give it
a good stiff brushing to remove the
loose dust and then either sponge it or
use a soft brush with clear tepid water
and CASTLE soap. A chamois skin kept
especially for the purpose will hasten
the drying and of course the top is not
folded back until it is thoroughly dry.
About every other time it is good idea
to give the interior little more atten-
tion than it gets from stiff brushing.

four wheels, high ground clearance
both under axle and center of truck
(the reason is obvious to anyone who
has seen a motor truck cross a desert
OF an unbroken feld) ability to

In addition to possessing all the
above features the Jeffrey Quad is
rendered all the more desirable by hav-
ing the ultimate in tractive ability
namely its locking differentials and
special tire chains.
In the same travelling machine shop
maintained by the aero squad of the
United States Army, there is an cleo
trio generator driven by direct power.
This manufactures a current for lights
and power to run machinery. All of
these portable shops are mounted on
Jeffery Quad trucks. They fit hither
and thither during all maneuvers, and
always ready for an emergency.
In Mexico they have negotiated with
signal success all kinds of trackless
and undeveloped country.
At the present time there are many

Oil would cost about 100000. IF each
car was out only one set of tires, and
each set cost an average of $1,000, Wis
consin spent about $S,000,o0o for tires.
There are many other items, such as
garaging, insurance and repairs. If
$4,000 was spent for such items on
each car, the total for such would be
$30,00o,ooo. Such reckoning is conser-
vative, even when there is taken into
consideration the condition that some
of the cars were not operated the
entire year.
