It is not necessary to call the factory. Ice can be gotten at the station just as cheap as at the factory without the necessity of a haul clear across the city.
 This is also in line with the gen eral movement all over the country for the curtailment of the number of deliveries by retail merchants and others, so that the men may be em. ployed in other work.

PERKINS TOWNSHIP
 ROAD TO BE BUILT
COUNTY JUDGE LEE MILES AN NOUNCES THAT WORK WILL BEGIN BY ABOUT SEP
 TEMBER 1.

The worst piece of road in the state is that portion of the Little Rock-Pine Bluff highway in Perkins township, Pulaski county, about six miles, be- tween the Pulaski pike and the Jeffer- son dollarway. But County Judge Miles announces that it is to be re- built, and that the work will begin about September 1, from Farrell to Wrightsville.
 The commissioners of Perkins town ship have begun to organize, as is re- quired under the act creating the board of road commissioners. The board is required to file with the coun- ty court clerk its assessment of bene- fits to be derived from the improve. ment.
 Ten days then are given property owners to protest against the propos- ed assessments. After that the as sessments are confirmed and the com missioners issue bonds on the assess ed benefits. The process of organiz- ing takes approximately 30 days, and then maybe there are a few days more to get everything in readiness for actual work to start.
 Under the proposed plan the road commissioners of Perkins township will grade the road and will build the bridges and culverts, and Pulaski county will surface the road

Raindrops and Lightning

Will you please tell two school girls
how lightning is formed?-D and G.
A scientist declares that the split
ing of raindrops in falling through
he ascending air currents, which are
characteristic of thunderstorms, is the
ource of lightning. The small drops
with negative charges go up with the
wind, while large ones with positive
charges stay below. Thus during a
thunderstorm there is usually a re-
gion of positive electricity between
he positive earth and the negative
PIPER portion. When the charge has
become sufficient, q series of direct
urrent discharges usually takes place
along approximately the same line,
ana these are what we see % o light
ing fash.

"PAY AS YOU co"

John Randolph said that was the
philosophers stone. An old farmer
was asked why neighbor could not
make a living on his farm. WELL"
he answered, 81 guess it was dread
of hard work in the first place. Then
besides he was a college graduate
and wanted so many other things be-
sides living the old farm couldn't
pay the bills, you know"
There was a good deal of wisdom
in that old farmers reply. When a
RAMS education educates him into
scale of living beyond his revenue,
whether on the farm or off of it, col
lapse is sure to come. We hear
good deal about the higher standards
Of living as though men were entitled
to them whether they could pay for
them or not. But there is a good deal
of hot air in that sort of talk.-For-
msr Governor Hoard.

Cure for Burns
Ledi, Wis.

have received a copy Of Fhe Con
cord Minute Man, which contains O
war letter from France, and the most
interesting part to me is the method
used in curing burns. The recipe
used for wounded soldiers is as fol-
ows:
The mixture is wax, paraffln and
resin. 1t is heated to 40 degrees c.,
when it becomes like water and Of
the color of honey. Drawn off from
the reservoir in which it is heated, it
is ready for use If you dip your fin
gers into it at almost 120 degrees, as
i did, it has only comfortable
warmth, and dries at once about
your hand when you withdraw it, in
casing every little fold or crease with
an elastic covering through which
you can see. All air is kept out and
there is no moisture; and you know,
air and moisture are the greatest
causes of suffering to burned people.
If the flesh is not too frightfully SEN
sitive, the wax Cor ambrine, as the
surgeon has named it) can be painted
on with brush. If it is, the liquod
is sprayed on with a small pump.
The member is then wrapped in cot
ton and gauze to keep the waxy COW
ering from breaking, or, as in the
case Of faces, with mask of gauze
only. In the beginning the wax COW
ering is removed very twelve hours
and new one is painted on. The
removing of the wax causes no pain.
AS the days go on the wax is removed
only once in twenty-four hours.

Social Forces in American History"
II wonder whether we are not going
to extremes in deifying as we do the

It will be recalled that the father
of his country" himself said some
very uncomplimentary things about
his soldiers. The book referred to is
written by A. M. Simons, assisted by
his wife, May Wood Simons.

luton was to a large extent started
nd maintained through methods of
mob violence and terrorism, such as
ivilized war hardly tolerates today.

heir loyalty, was the burning of the
evenue frigate Gaspe, that had very
f)olishly and tyranically dared to in
erfere with the regular business of
the New England smugglers. The
first active steps toward organized
Favolution consisted in the formation
committees Of correspondence a
ort of semisecret network of ecnspi-

Recent changes in the English CAPT
net, by which Mr.. Lloyd-George be-
comes prime minister, are Of keen in
terest to suffragists. Mr.. Asquith, the
retiring premier, was for many years
the main obstacle to votes for women
IN England. Mr.. Lloyd-George has al
ways been known as suffragist, al
though he has been at variance with
the suffrage associations. They were
asking the Acknowledgement of wom-
OF on the same terms on which it is
or may be granted to men. Lloyd
George does not approve of the terms
on which it is now granted to men,
and stood out against any suffrage bill
which would not give vote to work
ing mems wives. The war has made
such great changes in England, that
it is now expected that a universal
franchise bill to include men and
women alike will be considered as
soon as hostilities permit.

One More Word About the Deer
Killed at Okee

One more word in regard to the
slaughtered deer. Last week COM
mittee Of three from Lodi and West
Point interviewed the conservation
commission at Madison in regard to
the deer killed by the game warden,
and the commission expressed them
selves with regret that it should
have happened. They, however, have
agreed to replace the deer killed with
pair from the deer park, and have
so ordered. They also kindly ask the
people there to help them protect
the deer and all game in this locality.
We fail to see in what way the COM
mission was at fault, as the warden
was ordered to investigate and if he
found the deer vicious, to kill him;
all of which he failed to do.
We claim the buck did no damage
to live stock of any kind; that he did
not throw a fifty-pound hog over the
fence; that he did not chase school
children or act vicious to anyone;
that he did not put out cows eye.
NOW CuCn, AL. w VIC uOh y
believe that the commission sent you
here to drum UP sentiment Or to
prove that Mr.. and Mrs. Lee were
liars. All they asked you to do was
to investigate. We have proof con-
elusive that you killed the deer with
out seeing Mr.. Lee or anyone else, or
even examining the cows eye until
after the deer was killed; and if you
get what is coming you will be prose
euted and fined, as anyone else would
be had they broken the law by killing
a deer out OF season.

THREADING ON DANGEROUS
CR0TND

The closing of the Farmers Cooper
ative Packing Co., at La Crosse, and
the loss of $4,000 to the people oil
Sank county as a result of failure of
he original milk concern at Reeds
urg to make good, shows plainly that
is dangerous for the small investor
0 take stock in like ventures. The
creamery and canning company went
through the same stress when first
erected in Baraboo. Too often there
is not enough capital, or inferior man
agement. Either of these elements
may founder a concern, not to men
ton the leaks that are likely to occur.
According to reports the Reedsburg
eondensory trouble arose from the
ooting of funds, and that of the La
Crosse company is deficient in capital.
The people at Reedsburg invested $780,
coo in the condensary, and it has been
wO years since the affairs of the con-
eern were placed in the hands of re-
ceiver. The court costs, the expenses
ct the receiver and other losses, mean
that the original stockholders will lose
all they invested. The outcome at La
Crosse is awaited with interest. Often
when it is found firm is making
money, a mysterious hand turns a
wheel and all is still for time. A
sale follows, and the new purchaser
caps rich harvest. There are many
ways that are devious and draw from
he pocketbook the savings of years.

The Deer Question

| want to say something on the deer
subject, for 1 have some knowledge
on the subject-on the gun hunters
side I like deer as wei as anybody,
but 1 know they are not safe to run
large after they become grown. My
native town was terrified by. a buck
after he had grown his antlers. Any
man would have been afraid to en-
counter him single handed. He was
finally shot by the owner to avoid
trouble. Even in a town as large as
Lodi it is not safe for children to 60
to school if there is a deer in the
