Cheese Board Given Praise.

Following an extensive investigation
conducted by the state council OF de-
fense and State Food Administrator
Magnus SWenson it has been deter
mined that the operations of the Wis
cOnSin cheese boards are not only
legal, but beneficial.
When the Elgin board was closed,
the question was raised by the nation
al food administration as to the legal
ity Of operations of the Wisconsin
cheese boards at Sheboygan, Plymouth,
Muscoda and Highland. Investigation
disclosed that the Wisconsin boards
were unlike the Eigin butter board in
that the former was composed of ac-
tual buyers and sellers and the latter
were men who sDeculated in futures.
investigation seems to point TO the
conclusion that these boards are rem
dCring a service to the state and are
not engaged in speculative operation"
says the official report Of State Admin
iStratur SWenSOn. "At the present
time there does not seem to be any
necessity for recommending their dis
continuance by the food administra-
ton. The conclusion is that they are
on the whole very beneficial"

FACTORY BURNS

About three o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, the community was awakened by
the heavy fire whistles which announc-
ed a fire on Second street north in
the third ward. 1t was soon learned
that~it was the Gust Kaye wood work
ing factory located in the building on
Second street north, the property of
Kruger & Wheelan. The fire is sup
posed to have caught from the stove,
as everything was left as usual at
closing time Monday night When dis
covered by Stovey Norton, it was all
af1ame thruout the entire ground a1or
and the flames were bursting out Of
the windows He Immediately gave
the alarm and the fire company re
sponded and subdued the flames but
not until everything within was de-
stroyed. All of the machinery, of
course, were in place but are prac
tically worthless except for junk. The
loss is considerable and it was only
partially insured. Mr. Kaye had a
great deal of work on hand including
a large order from the government
for wooden soles Mr.. Kaye expects
to re-establish himself as soon as
he finds a suitable location and ad-
justs matters with the insurance COM
pany.

Awful BLAST

During the noon hour of Friday, Nov
ember 9Th, the workmen who are re-
moving the granite from the bottom
Of the Wisconsin River, to reduce the
tail-race, discharged blast that shook
the entire city. The buildings on both
sides of the river opposite this point
suffered damages in the breaking of
many window lights.
Fifteen windows in the public Lii
brary building, eight in the Wood Coun
ty Reporter print shop, and a large
number in the Amusement Hall and
all of the windows on the riverside of
the Consolidated Paper Mill were brok
en-. S
This blast was the heaviest one that
has yet occurred and will certainly
not be repeated. The writer was seat
ed at his dining table at his home on
Washington Avenue, and the vibration
was sufficient there to shake the plates
on the plate rail. The blasting by the
city in the engine house lot, and that
which is going on in the tail-race just
opposite, reminds one very much of
what is going on in France between
The allied forces and Germany For
one, we cannot say that we enjoy this
kind of bombardnig and hope that this
will not long continue.
