The Carlisle independent., 1917-02-08

The purchase of a rice irrigation plant has m times past been a matter of chance. The old tim CTS can easily remember the early days of the rice industry when one man would buy wood pit pump, one would buy an air compressor, one would pay pulsometer and another would buy steam pump. Each would think and believe his system to be the BEST. These passed away leaving trail cf disaster behind them. Then when at last 1t was q demonstrated fact that the steel pit and centrfu- gal pump the only practical system, there biossomed out great number of different yarle ties of pumps all of which advertised themselves to be as good as" better thano the Layne sys- tenn Most of them patterned their pump after the bayne Patent Enclosed Line Shaft Centrifugal Pump, and manufactured a similar pump until forced to discontinue practice by reason of their infringement on the Bayne Patents The pioneers of the Arkansas Rice Industry remember distinct ly the many new pumps and pump companies that did spring up in a night as it Were-fourish for short time and die out, leaving the purchaser of one of their pumps to buy his repairs wherever he could get them Did you notice how these new pump companies always named their pumps The Perfect Pump" It seemed to be common name for any new pump-"Perfect"
The Carlisle independent., 1917-02-08

To publish the list of over TOO rice growers of Arkansas who use part or all of the Layne System would require too much space, so we are publish ing the names only of those men who have display ed their confidence in our Layne System by paying more for the Layne system than they would be re- quired to pay for another, Tn order to be insured against failure for the SEASON OF 1917.
The Carlisle independent., 1917-02-08

The fact that the careful, studious, conserva- tive buyer-who has had the opportunity to study the successful rice grower and analyze his success pays more for the Layne System than he would be required to pay for other plants not reliable is one of the best recommendations of the success of our Layne System.
The Carlisle independent., 1917-02-08

Now, the Layne & Bowler Company entered the field in 1907 and have been putting out not the cheapest, but the best in point of Efficiency Ser vice and Reliability of any pump in the field We have had a standing offer guaranteeing our System against all others. The fact that our sales outnum Der that of all other competitors combined is one of the best proofs of the superiority of our system

WANT LICENSE FEES SPENT HERR
Local Automobile Men Go to Mi1wau4
kee for Annual Meeting of the
State Association.

Several of the local members of tho
board of directors of the Wisconsin,
Automobile Association went to Milk
waukee today to attend the annual
meeting at which directors will bS
named for the year and at which
policy to be followed in urging Iegis-
lation will be worked out. Local men
are strongly opposed to any legislation
which will take away from the coun4
ties the percentage of the automobile
fees. 1t has .been urged that these
fees be taken and used for the develop
ment of the so-ealled trunk lines of
highways in Wisconsin. The local
men believe that the amount of the
fees returnable to the counties should
be expended for the maintenance Of
roads and for no other purpose and
that every dollar possible should bs
available for this purpose. County
Clerk Russell II. Jones and formers
Mayor Dan o. Head are both directors
in the state organization.

EVERETT HAS DRAINAGE BILL,
Representative of This District in the
state Senate Would Revise Laws
for Drainage Districts.

That revision of the drainage laws
of Wisconsin will materially aid in re-
claiming much Of the three million
acres of wet land in this state, is the
claim of Senator Charles II. Everett of
Racine, representing the Kenosha-
Racine county district, and head Of
the legislative committee which has
investigated the subject of drainage
during the past year. The committee
has drafted comprehensive bill
which modifes all the drainage laws
in the state. Senator Everett declares
that the measure seeks to retain all the
desirable provisions of the present law
and will eliminate all the undesirable
features. He points out that Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio have been
leaders in the movement for draining
wet land, and that it has been demon
strated that marsh lands that have
good muck soil are among the most pro-
ductive lands to be found anywhere.
He saws that these lands when prop
erly drained and cultivated will with
stand drought even better than most
Of the upland. Lands which were
formerly raw peat marshes have be-
come the most valuable corn lands in
the state of Illinois

DINING CARS COMING BACK.
West Side Electric to Have Modern
Dining Cars in Service in
Few weeks.

Three new dining cars, capable of
accommodating thirty-six persons at
one time, viii be placed into service by
the Chicago, Nbrth Shore and Milwau-
kee railroad in the near future. The
cars are now having the finishing
touches placed ON them and then will
be put into active operation. The new
trains are modern in the highest de-
gree, and the cuisine will be the equal
of that on the steam lines. Every eff
fort to please patrons is being made
by the officials of the North Shore line,
and the step to add to the conven-
fences, through the addition of the
diners, is another indication of the
wish of the executive TO make the in
terurban along Lake Michigan the
model for the country. One of the
conductors on the North Shore is re-
sponsible for the announcement that
the company is contemplating running
sleepers from Milwaukee to Chicago at
night The company has also placed
in service three new hmiteds. These
are larger than the old ones, and entail
a cost of $4,000 more. The ears are
equipped with "shoes'' for use on the
elevated Is third rail. The North Shore
now has the right of way to Humboldt
Park and trip into Chicago, proper, is
a matter of few weeks.

grimy hands, neckties awry, coats half
buttoned and hair unkempt, new era
may dawn, and now careless lads will
grow into perfect Beau Brummels and
little girls be led to see that neatness
is a prerequisite of beauty. To raise
money they have bought the Rhode

interest to both old and young. 1t is

SOCIETY CIRCUS AFTERMATH.

The song program by Parnell Eagan,
Chicago soloist, given in connection
with the Society Circus workers en-
tertainment last night in Grosvenor
Hall was one of the very pleasant mu-
steal events of the winter.
Mr.. Eagan- has a sweet, clear Irish
tenor voice of the sort which have
made the reputation Of Ireland as a
producer of soloists. 1t is so sweet, so
thrilling and so adequate an instru-
ment for the expression of the emotions
and he uses it SO artistically, that his
singing gives the keenest pleasure.
His program was varied one last
night and every number contained
something of the latent pathos and the
suggestion Of sadness which is the
Irish tenor's vocal heritage. Not even
did Ills Little Teddy Bear by Lee
vey escape this.
Sweet Genevieve" Sweetest of AL.
Nothing that Mr.. Eagan sang was
enjoyed more than his 'TSweet Gene
We've" by Tucker, one Of the popular
classics which has lived on for half
century because of its plaintive sweet
ness. Mr.. Eagan never omits this song
from his programs. He has a senti-
mental reason which may influence him
quite as much as the fact that the Sc
lection is certain to please Mrs. Ea-
gan s name is Genevieve, and Mr.. Ea-
gan has not forgotten to play the part
of lover simply because he has been
married a few years, so he pays this
pretty compliment to Mrs. Eagan, that
no matter how simple nor how elab-
crate his program is, he sings this old
song to her each time. She was not
present last night.
His other selections last night in
Guided Cadman S II Hear Thrush ~;
Homer's "Uncle Rome; Loren s
Glow Backed Car sung as an en-
core; Huhm IS II Arise from Dreams
Of Thee -; Logan s cliff Thine
Eyes y; Handel's "Where 'er You
Walk; and "Duna" by McGill.
Wausau Girl Reads.
Miss Winifred Stockwell of Wausau,
Wis, read several selections with eff
feet, graciously responding to several
encores.
After the program dancing was in
order and supper was served. There
were in the neighborhood of four hun
bred present, all Of whom were either
those who took part in the Society Cir
Gus or their husbands or wives.
1t was very pleasant affair and
was under the management of Edward
Dayton who was also chairman of ar
engagements for the Society Circus
which was one Of the most successful
affairs of the year, both financially
and socially.

NORMAL HEAD WRITES.
The Milwaukee Normal School Presh
dent Writes Letter of Congratu-
1ation to Kenosha.


Carroll G. Pearse, president of the
Milwaukee normal school, has sent a
eongratulatory letter to Mrs. Mary D.
Bradford, superintendent of the Keno
sha schools, in relation to the mid-year
graduation last week. 1t reads:
"Dear Mrs. Bradford: Permit me to
acknowledge receipt of and thank you
for the program of the mid-year gradu-
alton exercises of the Kenosha high
school Will you please compliment your
high school principal on the fine show
ing which the school is making?
A few years ago, such ceremony
as this in the middle of the year would
have been thought an impossibility in
city of the size of yours. 1t is only
within the past two 70 three years that
the Milwaukee high schools have been
sending out anything like an adequate
mid-year class. Your high school peo-
pie are certainly handling this thing in
fine style"
