RIVER TEEMED WITH FISH.
Young Black Bass Make JOurne,
Down Stream.

A peculiar sight was afforded Thurs
day evening near Main street bridge.
The river was teeming with fish fry,
thousands of them being in plain
sight to passersby. By some it is
claimed they<were black bass fry, and
as six cans had been placed in the
river / gently near Pipersville it is
believed the current took them down
stream.
The Oconomowoc Enterprise says:
1t would be impossible to estimate
the number of young German carp
(about two inches In lengthy that
have made their submarine-like ap-
pearance in La Belle lake the past
week, but it can safely be placed in
the millions. The fish fairly swarmed
the mill stream and about the North
Main street bridge, A few perch chose
to associate with the alien enemy and
occasionally black bass and pike.
These latter will doubtless exercise
their gamy instinct and break off re-
lations as soon as they are aware war
has been declared.

WILL EGGS ADVANCE
TO 80 CENTS A DOZEN +?

The statement that eggs would go to
80 cents made here recently has
caused great deal of speculation. Of
course, if the writer misquoted the
speaker in that the price of 80 cents
per dozen would apply to Europe alone
and not locally, he would be absolute
ly correct, for the latest export re-
the shipper an investment of four
cents on each egg shipped across the
ocean is necessary, making the first
cost on dozen Of eggs more than the
retail price here Adding to this first
cost the cost Of transportation, legit-
innate profit, and eggs would be worth
considerably more than the sum of 80
cents
Speaking of local conditions, the
price of 80 cents will never be seen in
this country if storage conditions this
year against those of last can be used
as a criterion for a price fixing basis
Charles Kerr local commission
man here, said in an interview with a
News reporter as regards the advance
in eggs: "The advance in the price of
eggs here is due greatly to weather
conditions, as storage eggs cannot be
shipped during hot weather and it will
be next month before the hens will lay
good. The advance is also due to the
advanced cost of food and labor, MAX
ing it nearly impossible to keep hens
for laying purposes profitable.
Upon being asked whether he
thought the price of eggs would go to
80 cents, Mr.. Kerr said: "The gentle
man who thinks that the price of eggs
will go to 80 cents had better specu-
late in them. His source of information
is misleading as regards the scarcity
of eggs, for the latest government re-
port states that $50 cold storage
rooms show that they contain 6,064,-
O36 cases of eggs, while on June l.,
3S4 stOrages reported 4,568,789 cases
of eggs in their rooms last year This
year on July 10, 264 storages reported
a present holding Of 1851 1923 cases
as compared with 5,574,433 cases last
year, an increase of 81 800 cases over
last year. If this is a sign of an in
crease in the cost Of eggs, said Mr.
Kerr, | wonder what would forecast a
decrease in price,

PAPERGLASSC0.
Will G|VEWORk
FOR 300 men
Watertown Factory Has Passed the
Experiment Stage and Will Be-
gin Operations About
August Is.

The National Paper Glass company
is the name of a concern which has
been experimenting with paper glass
at their factory in the old A. r.
Wiens shop in First street, developing
product which it is claimed will
take the place of La Cellephane, which
was manufactured in France before
the war and imported into this coun-
try to the amount of 100000 a year.
This supply has been shut off and it
is claimed that there is a demand for
81 100000 of the goods annually in the
United States used for covering can
dies, for auto windows and the like.
Experiments which have been under
way have proven successful and the
plant with one machine will be in
operation about August Is. OF course
the formula is secret but a certain
pulp enters into the product. A
machine 116 feet long with 800 rolls
was built entirely by hand in the fac
tory AS fifteen men are employed on
machine and when the new factory
which will be built here is in opera
ton twenty machines will be used, it
can be seen that a large force of men
will be employed.
The officers of the company are as
follows:
President-W c. Stone.
Vice President-Jesse Stone.
Secretary Treasurer-T. B. COwen.
Chemist. A Hacker.
The company is capitalized at $780,
600 The machine now in use will turn
out 5000 sheets of this paper daily, but
when the new plant is in operation
there will be three shifts of eight hours
each
The pulp is made by chemical pro-
cess and then dried in heater. 1t is
then put in solution and goes to the
big paper machine where it is fed in
the thickness required, usually 1000
of an inch with a textile strength of
Fl pounds. This spread pulp is on can
vas which travels the length of the
machine under intense heat Glass
has been used on which to spread the
pulp but now aluminium has been
found much better When it reaches
the other end of the big paper ma
chine it is practically finished.
The product is not soluble in water
and will not crack or tear.
