called ont at $3.50 yesterday evening
to a fire on the Hickman Run bridge
on the East side. Chemicals were TAX.
en- but when the chemical wagon ar
rived there the fire was out. The
firemen walked down to the Pala-
tine bridge to see II there had been
q mistake made in the call, thinking
perhaps the Palatine bridge might
have been on fire. There they found
everything o. K. except the fire wa.
ter barrels which are kept for the
protection Of the bridge. These were
dry, one Of them bursted End useless.
The fire department will ;.sk the Bal

Automobile Speeding

1t comes to our attention very Of
ten that certain automobile owners
and chauffeurs, when in the outskirts
of the city on a good piece of road
travel way beyond the state law limit
1t is usually those who speed that
meet with accidents. If the ones who
speed were the only ones damaged, or
injured by it, no one would offer very
much objection, but the trouble is, that
it is often times the innocent party
travelling along the highway that suf-
fers the injuries. The police depart
ment of our city are doing everything
possible to arrest and bring about the
punishment of those who speed, but
it is pretty hard to distribute the po-
licemen over the city so that they are
able to over-take and catch those who
exceed the speed limit. We would sug-
gest that all owners of cars leave in
structions with those who operate
their cars to make it an offense pun
ishable by discharge to be caught al
speeding.

Charge THAT
HARD WHEAT
PLAYS OUT IN
in WISCONSIN

Madison, Wis, Aug. 15.-Another
fancy has given way to fact.
The common notion that hard wheat
grown in Wisconsin will soon turn into
soft wheat is a myth.
Experimenters at the University of
Wisconsin grew one of the good varie-
ties of Kansas wheat in Wisconsin for
three successive years. When a sam
pie Of this wheat was sent to Kansas
to be milled it showed no appreciate
differences from flour made of the
same variety Of Kansas grown wheat.
'The fluctuations of the seasons are
to blame for the difference in the quail
ity Of hard wheat when there is a diff
ference" states B. D. Leith, who has
directed much of the investigation on
wheat growing carried on by the Uni
versity. can unfavorable season will
cause the wheat to be starchy but if
this same wheat is planted and the
season is hot, the grain will regain it's
proper quality of hardness.

ness. A little advice at an e.partuae
time some times is valued by men.
Others never profit by the experience
of others.
1t is just these kind of places that
bring about dry conditions and it
would seem to US that the saloon men
who are trying to run legitimate
business would at least try and pre-
vent others from running these kind
of road houses. Sufficient facts are
already in hand to bring about revo-
luton of these places. It is only a
matter of time when the accumulation
of evidence will be so great that it
will wipe them out of existence. Some
thing will happen unless a change
takes place in the near future.

TRUCK, GOOD
INVESTMENT

The Clintonville four-wheel drive
truck owned by Wood county is PROV
ing to be an excellent investment for
the county. Tuesday for instance, it
was necessary to move two house wag
ons, one used for sleeping purposes,
and the other for kitchen and commits
sary department. Each one of these
outfits weigh over two ton They are
1Ox16 feet in size and were transport
ed from Grand Rapids to the town of
Lincoln, distance of 80 miles. This
was accomplished in one day up and
back. This would have taken two teams
three days to accomplish the same
thing. Another instance in oiling the
roads this truck will spread oil over 8
hardly spread three miles an hour, and
or 10 miles an hour while a team could
the county has great deal of oiling
to do and this truck is a great saving
along this line, say nothing of the 9TH
er necessary hauling of supplies for
the county work in different parts of
the county.

The influence of fear upon the flow
of saliva has long been known. The
dry mouth of the nervous person cal
led upon to speak in public. is an ex-
ample. In India the effect of fear
in stopping the flow of saliva was at
one time used IN finding the guilty
person when several were suspected of
committing a crime. All who were sus
pected had to chew the consecrated
rice and after a given time spit it
out upon a leaf of the sacred fig tree.
If anyone put forth the rice in dry
state, that was taken as proof that
fear of being discovered had stopped
his saliva from flowing, He was re-
garded as guilty of the crime.

CARRY PARCELS
AID UNCLE SAM
STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE TO
MAKE CAMPAIGN TO CUT
DOWN DELIVERIES.
LOWER PRICES TO RESULT
Another Advantage Will Be to Increase
Man Power for the Army and
Thereby Help to Win the
Battles We Must Fight
In Europe.

Madison, Wis.-The Garry plan for
grocery stores and other business
houses which bear a similar relation
to the consumer Is to be made the
basis of a campaign to cut down de-
liveries by the State Council of De-
Tense.
At the urgent request Of the Ma
uonal Council of Defense, the Wiscon-
sin Council will inaugurate this cam
paign. Its object Is to conserve man
power for the war, but the advantages
which will accrue to the consumer in
lower prices will be one of its great
benefits.
Every one has heard Of the thought
less woman who buys spool Of thread
and asks that it be delivered. This
may be an unusual experience for the
retail store, but every day some such
order Is received over the telephone.
The custom Of having goods delivered
has become SO thoroughly established
that consumers think nothing OF ask
ing for immediate deliveries several
times a day, without a thought of the
economic loss for which some one
must pay.
The State Council will try to remedy
this situation by recommending re-
duction of the number Of deliveries to
two each day. Housewives will be
asked to cooperate and without their
cooperation the plan will fail.
There are many ways In which the
women of America are being called
upon to do their Bit. and this Is one
of them.
Fewer deliveries means more men
for the army and for the industries
which must go on during the war,
many with increased effort.
A plan Of campaign to show the ad-
vantages Of carrying parcels is to be
explained to the county councils of
defense In the near future.
