WATERFOWL is HOME
OF THE ORIGINAL FORD

The original Ford was not, as is
generally believed, Michigan pro-
duce, but hailed from the frontier
Badger state, according to the files of
early newspapers now on deposit in
the library of the Wisconsin Histor-
ical Society at Madison. In the fall OF
1874, when the winter was coming on
and when the sturdy settlers were be-
ginning to plan for the ordeal OF an
other cold season, a real benefactor
by the name of Simeon Ford settled
in Watertown and began to manufac-
ture heavy woolens. He is reported to
have been the first cloth manufacture
er west of the Rock river and his
trade extended into several neighbour
ing counties. His new enterprise de-
veloped rapidly, and many were the
Beau Brummels of whom it could be
truthfully said-'he owns Ford.

o'clock, when lunch was served; after
which sofa pillow and a milk can
were sold. The sofa pillow, donated
by H. Lekachmann, was awarded Miss
Louise Weber of Clyman, and the milk
can, donated by the Farmers State
Bank, was given c. F. Pieper, a
cheesemaker on the Juneau road.
The fOrtune-telling caused a great
deal of merriment and the Jacobs
we'll was very interesting for the
youngsters as was the bean board and
the box with the hole through which
they tried to throw baseballs for tick
cts which were good for popcorn, gum
or peanuts. Later the floor was cleared
for dancing. Coroner NJ Manning, Yer
non Ayars and Mrs. Ray Metzger fur
nished the music The festivities last
ID until the wee small hours of the

GAS COMPANY ASKS RELIEF
HIGH COST OF COAL

The local gas company is one OF the
last in the state to ask for temporary
increase in gas rates in order to make
both ends meet, said Manager Bah
son today. 1t has weathered the
storm Of increased coal costs together
with rising costs of labor and supplies
necessary in the manufacture an! dis
tributiOn of gas for the last six
months, without complaining, hoping
that the abnormal pressure of high
costs might ease off. Recent con-
tracts for coal made under the most
favorable conditions at the time, how
ever, make it absolutely necessary
that the rate be increased in order to
prevent an actual monthly loss in the
manufacture and distribution of this
public service.
The company has applied to the
state railroad commission for slight
temporary increase, which will not by
any means be great enough to fully
offset the increased expenses, but
which may prevent an actual loss each
month. The state railroad commits
sion will investigate the claims of the
company in detail, will take into &C
count the actual present value of the
plant and the costs of. operation, and
the company hopes it may temporarily
be given some assistance in it's en-
deavor to maintain gas service for
profitable on account of the compare
lively large investment required to
serve the someWhate widely separated
and limited number of customers.
For the year ending June &c. 1917,
the profit made for the stockholders
and bondholders of the company secu-
rites was Les percent on valuation
of $4,000 which is based on the value
put on the property by the railroad
commission in 1913.
For the three months of July, Aug
ust and September o. this year, there
was absolutely no profit made for
stock and bondholders and the actual
depreciation per year were greater
than the money taken in by the gas
company, during this period. Further
increases in expenses are expected
and the company believes the public
will generally see the justice of the
proposed increase, especially as the
increase asked for will not meet the
increased expenses more than half
way
The increase asked for is 20 cents
per 1000 cubic feet. The increase in
the cost of producing gas is more than
double this amount
