FILLING IN BRIDGE

The Corbett lake bridge is prac-
tically a thing of the past as 500
Line gravel crew has been filling it
in and the work is now nearing COM
pletion. The bridge has caused the
city some expense in the past few
years as the fire department has
been called out two or three times
to extinguish fires that had started
in the structure. The bridge, being
located in busy part Of the local
yards, was an inconvenience to the
railroad men, which will now be re-
moved as will the expense of it's
maintenance.

ROADS MODELLING CARS
FOR MOVEMENT OF CROPS

Railroads in the Northwest
through their war board are mobil-
izing all available freight cars to
move the crops. According to G. w.
Murnane, secretary Twin City Sub
Committee, the car situation is at
present better than at this time last
year.
Ship early is a good motto to
follow, says Mr.. Murnane. "By do
ing so merchants and others can
have better assurance of getting
merchandise more promptly than
will be the case if they delay In
creased rail traffic incident to the
war is likely to cause an unprece-
dented demand for freight equipment
in the near future.
Among those problems confront
ing railway managers is that of
getting enough coal into this terri
tory to prevent suffering next winter
Although more has already been
hauled to this section by the rail-
-Hcads than a year ago the supply
coming by boat up the lakes is woe

ACTIVE DEFENSE WORK IN WIS.

Something over a weeks work on
the part of the wisconsin Council Of
Defense, established by special act of
the Legislature, has developed a
splendid line Of constructive work.
One work of great Importance has
been the distribution of potato seed
at So bushel, about 81 a bushel be-
low the current markets, and more
than $4,000 bushels were sent out in
a week under the direction of the
| Wisconsin Department of Agriculture.
The department has a gentlemen's
agreement with dealers and shippers
for an option ON practically all the
unsold potato seed stock in the
state. Furthermore, the department
has power, and has indicated a dis
position, to seize any stock which is
apparently being held in storage for
higher prices, and distribute the
same at as low price as Isl pOssi-
BILE. The war brings on unusual con-
ditions, and these may be expected
| in other lines as we'll as in the
potato business. The warehouse man
who gets So a bushel for potatoes
ought not to kick even though he
has an idea he could get S. a bushel
| by waiting and holding the seed a
little longer. Another important
measure to conserve the potato
seed stock is the plan to save the
seed ends of potatoes used for the
table. County Agent G. M. House
holder has inaugurated this plan in
Rusk county. The seed ends are, of
| course, small in weight, most of the
| flesh being turned into food. But
even with a seed end weighing not
over one-fifth to one-seventh of an
ounce, termination will follow plant
ing if the soil is properly pulverized
and the seed end planted not to
exceed three or four inches in depth
and about ten inches apart in the
row. The potatoes raised from this
stock will be good for table use
only. The department Of agricul-
ture, county agents and banks and
other agencies have not only COOP
Grated to relieve the shortage of po-
tato seed but have also brought in
spring wheat seed in carload lots.
The Wisconsin Council of Defense,
acting through the college of agri-
culture, is fathering the Emergency
Food Agent Eleven counties are en-
listed in this campaign. The agents
already appointed are:
Milwaukee county, F. J. Sievers,
Wauwatosa; Racine county, G. F.
F'awcett, Rochester; La Crosse coun-
ty, T. H. Campion, Onalaska; Wood
county, w. A. Clark, Grand Rapids;
Marinette county, w. F. Morton,
Marinette; Marathon county, R. A.
Humphrey, Wausau; Dunn county,
Theodore Sexauer, Menomonie; Chip
pewa county, w. G. Bradley, Hudson;
Grant county, C. C. Burns, Platte
Vile.
Most of these gentlemen represent
the county agricultural schools. Mr.
John Imrie, of Roberts, wisconsin,
has been rendered an appointment,
but at the time this is written'ehis
reply had not been received The
county agricultural agents will take
up the work in such counties as have
agents. It is expected that within
a few days more than half the coun-
ties will have an Emergency Food
Agent actively at work in the field

Tulsans Have Chance to Hear
Famous Woman at Conven-
tion Hall; Pioneer Worker
in Suffraget Cause.

"In 1916" our grandchildren will
read in their school histories. "the
first woman was elected to congress.
She was Miss Jeanette Rankin Of
Montana. At this time there were still
many eastern states in which women
were not permitted to cast their votes
for any candidate.
Miss Rankins victory at the polls
was no small one. She did not simply
run ahead of her ticket: she ran quite
away from IT. Montana went Demo-
cratic that campaign. 1t gave Presi-
dent Wilson approximately $1,000
votes and Hughes about $4,000 and
elected one Democratic congressman,
but tho Miss Rankin ran on the Re-
publican ticket, the state elected her to
be the first woman ever to sit in con-
gress.
Miss Rankin has come to Tulsa all
the way from her home in Montana to
deliver a lecture at Convention hall to-
night, under the auspices of Ora Light
ner Frost, and as one number on the
Ora Lightner Frost concert course.
Miss Rankin agreed to visit Tulsa
because Mrs. Frost made special trip
east to secure her services. 1t Will be
