crete floors is being put in place.
When the facing brick and stone
band around the building at the floor
line is completed as a retaining wall
for it, the cement for the floors will
be poured in, in an almost liquid
consistency.
That cannonading which could be
heard IN Madison today was not the
United States soldiers chasing the
German minions, nor the noise of
bombarding any of either our coast
or inland cities, nor yet submarines
coming up Lake Madison. Neither
was it Company Z practicing with
heavy artillery. 1t was only build
ers wrecking the bridge on lower
Egan avenue and which they will re-
place with a new concrete structure,
Many people turned their heads and
cooked their eyes heavenward as
though experimenting a fleet of zeps.
But no one was observed scuttling
into the bomb proofs.

SCHMIDT Wins
AFTER SPIRITED CONTEST A. q.
SCHMIDT WINS FOR COM
MISSIONER.

Voters evinced a greater activity in
today's choice of a city commissioner
to succeed j. A. Johnson. resigned,
than they did at the abortive polling
one week ago. The failure at that
time to make a choice between three
candidates put the two remaining
ones on their mettle, and they have
been doing some missionary work in
the meantime. A choice is shown in
this election-it would be a long
chance that the two should actually
tie in the number of votes received.
At a time before the lunch hour
more than twice as many votes had
been cast as there were at the same
hour in the election last week. As
against the total of SCI last week,
the total at noon today was $50. And
the latter part of the day normally
tallies more votes than does the first
part.

A HANDY DEVICE
GEO. McQUILLAN PATENTS Al
TOMATO BARN DOOR
LATCH.

Along with his other work ais Il
successful farmer, Geo. McQuillan. of
Orland township. found time TO fig
ure out a barn door latch which
causes the door TO stay put" when
latched with his device. Having
more or less trouble keeping his farm
building doors closed with the ordi-
nary latch of commerce, about six
years ago Mr.. McQuillan devised q
latch for his doors which did the
business to his satisfaction. and the
barn doors on the McQuillan farm
have since given the wne little
trouble. From time to time neigh
bors and others who had examined
the latch and realized its worth sug-
gested that he take out letters pat
|ent. manufacture the device and
place il within the reach Of farmers
generally. Finally he decided TO Dc
this and having secured his patent
had a consignment of the latches
manufactured by a Minneapolis firm.
These Mr.. McQuillan has placed on
sale at the Rensch and Biederstaedt
hardware stores in Madison and also
i'm Junius and Winfred. The sales
have been so satisfactory that Mr..
McQuillan is planning 10 have anoth-
er and larger number manufactured.
The latch is simple in construction
and quite impossible 10 get out of or
der. 1t is placed on the inside of the
barn door. where il is protected from
rain. snow and ice. and is always on
the job in its automatic movement.
The latch may be placed on the doors
of all kinds Of farm buildings.
