COUNTY DIRECTORY
TO BE PUBLISHED
FOR THIS COUNTY

The Wilmer Atkinson company,
Philadelphia, publishers of the Farm
Journal is now making a hOuse-to-
secure names, information, pictures,
etc., for publication in complete
county directory similar to those pub
lished for number of the counties of
the state, including the neighboring
counties of Dane and Waukesha.
This directory will give the name,
postoffice address, including street or
rural route, Of every resident of the
county outside the city of Watertown.
Names of the heads of the families will
be given, and the name of the wife,
number of children, acreage Of all
farms, number of horses and cattle,
the telephone connection by which the
family can be reached will also be
given.
Included also will be an elaborate
road map, which will show every
farm house and every road. The roads
will all be numbered and cross index
ed, so that reference to the directory
and the number given Herewith will
make it possible to locate any farm in
a moment.
The plan of classifying the farms
by roads is entirely new for this sec
ton, but has proven very valuable In
other counties where it has been thor
oughly tried out.
The book will also include a COM
plete business directory of the entire
county, this section including Water
town city also.
AS this will be a most valuable
work for many classes Of people, it
will be to the advantage Of every resi-
dent to assist the company's repre-
sentatives in every possible way when
they call.
L. S. Battenfeld of Philadelphia Is
directing the work, which will require
about three months.

PLAN IMPROVEMENTS
AT GLOBE Mill TO
COST THOUSANDS

improvements which will entail an
expenditure of $4,000 are planned
for next spring by the Globe Milling
company in Water street. These i'm
provements will include warehouse
and elevator which will be built adj
jacent to the present property and
will expedite the handling of the
company's product, which finds a
market all over the world
Since the purchase of the property
by the new company on June 1, 1917,
the capacity of the mill has been
doubled, the output now totalling 500
barrels of flour daily. To bring this
about many changes and improve
ments were put under way and to-
tai of $4,000 was expended in carry
ing it out, local firms and labor bene-
fitting to that extent This, of course,
necessitated a large milling force and
$3.50 in wages weekly was added to
the former payroll The mill now en-
ploys 33 men and the weekly payroll
runs over the $500 mark
A V shaped strip of land at the foot
of Lafayette street, which will likely
be vacated by the city council at the
request of the property owners on
that street, will house the elevator
and the warehouse may possibly be
built north of the present office The
old office will be removed and the re-
tail department changed from it's pre-
sent location. The extension of the
present public team track north will
give added facilities for the rapid
handling of flour for shipment
The officers of the present company
are:
President-George C. Shane, Phila-
delphia
Vice resident-William j. Wilson,
Philadelphia.
Treasurer-Fred o. Shane, Phila-
delphia.
Secretary-George E. Manschot,
WatertOwn.
Mr. Manschot is in active charge of
the milling property, which is loom
ing big as one of WatertOwn's grow
ing industries and a credit to the city
in which it is located.

CAMP CONDITIONS
HEALTH MORE SATISFACTORY
ALTHOUGH 90 DEATHS
OCCUR.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 27.-Al-
though SO deaths occurred at nation
al guard and national army camps
during the week ending November
16, health conditions at a majority
of the camps was more satisfactory
than the week previous, field santa
ton reports to the surgeon general
compiled today show.
The highest sick rates come from
camps at which southern troops are
training. The rate in the national
guard is 42.6 per 1000, compared
with 28.5 for the national army men.
The highest rate was at Camp Travis,
Fort Sam Houston, Tex, where
measles is increasing. The rate is
87.9 per 1000. Camp Meade at An
napolis Junction, Md, showed the
cleanest slate, with a rate of 81.
The national guard camps where
conditions are not as good as the pre-
vious week, are at Greenville, S. c.,
Macon, Ca, Fort Worth, Tex, Hat
tiesburg. Miss, and Alexandria, La,
and Sam Houston, and measles are
given as the cause.
The national guard camps not up
to the standard of the previous week
are at Columbia, s. c., Fort Riley,
Kan, and Fort Sam Houston.

BOUNTY ON wolves
SUBSTANTIAL SUMS BEING RE-
Allied BY RANGING COUN-
TRY WEST OF MIS-
souri,.

Pierre, Nov. 27.-Under present
bounty for wolves, a number of hunt
ers are making good money ranging
the country west of the Missouri,
looking especially for the big grey
timber wolves, which are the ones on
which ranchers give special bounties
outside of the payments by the state.
Each of these hunters generally keep
a pack of hounds to help in the work.
But a few days ago a new stunt was
shown in this city, when a man and
woman travelling in a rattletrap mud
spattered a came through, carrying
a bunch of three hounds in a wire
cage on the back of the car, and a
number Of wolf pelts packed on the
side of the car, the result of the eff
forts of their hounds as they travelled
through the country.

Lead-Bondsmen of Einar Jauk-
kuri, a Lead man, who was convicted
OF manslaughter in the second degree
for killing a man during a fight
while he was guarding a tunnel for
the Homestake Mining Co., withdrew
from his bond, making it necessary
for him to secure news bondsmen or
go to Jail. He was at liberty on a
bond of $4,000, pending a decision
of the state supreme court on an APP
peal which he took from the verdict
of the jury and the action of the
court in sentencing him to a term OF
four years In the Sioux Falls peni-
Tertiary.

need the money until next meeting,
and took no action on them.
The condition of the stove in the
city scale house was called to their
attention. 1t is said to be in a poor
state of preservation, or erection, or
something, making it dangerous.
The commission promised to look
into it.
A stub of water main in the north
west part of town was called to their
attention by Bert Stacy and Claude
Tyrrell, who stated that the water
therein was dead and without move
ment, due to the small amount used.
And now that the wells in that neigh
borhood were going dry, they asked
that something be done to relieve the
condition. 1t was ordered that the
hydrant be opened for a time and al
lowed to clear out the pipe. There
are few taps cut into the line, and
the relief will be only partial, but
nothing can now be done with water
main building before spring.
The gigantic undertaking of fenc-
ing the city gravel pit is still under
NOloAuVA dLlOhs II 4 . dLACSCu lhdL All
authorized persons go into that treas
ure pit and take away the precious
trove conferred by nature upon hu-
manity-and they do not heed where
they get it, so it is the easiest place.
This method leaves the pit in such
shape as to make 1t more difficult for
those who desire to keep the place in
shape. The commission will now
cause signs to be erected, warning
trespassers of dire consequences for
any further depredations. And If
that doesn't make them take to the
tall timber they will undoubtedly put
up a scarecrow.
Attention was given to the recent
ly constructed canal at the west of
the bridge on lower Egan avenue.
The commission was firm in the de-
termination that the work be undone,
because of the construction making
an almost effective dam in time of
high water.
Having done all this in about an
hour and a half, the time was come
for adjournment. They approached
the subject with reluctance and very
indirectly-like a dog going to bed
but they finally made it. In fact it
was getting lonesome and cold up
there. The audience had gone, but
the fire in the stove had preceded 1t
by some time. Without any further
reasonable excuse for staying, they
finally officially said Good night"

FIND BODY OF MAN MISSING
THREE WEEKS.

Deadwood, Nov. 27.-A milk pail
recognized by the wife as belonging
to her missing husband, resulted in
the discovery of the body of Clarence
Patterson, aged So, a Lawrence coun-
ty man, who had been missing for
about three weeks. The body was
considerably bruised, but whether or
not he was the victim of foul play has
not yet been clearly established. One
theory is that while crossing a bridge
over the stream in which his body
found he lost his balance and fell
into the water and probably was
