War Tax Hits the Movies.

The Lyric theater announces that
the u. S. government has placed a
heavy tax on the moving picture indus
try, effective November 1st, which in
cludes tax on raw film, finished film,
and an admission tax of 1c on each 10c
admission or fraction thereof, which
means that there will be 1c tax on
and 1Oc admissions, &c on Is and zoe
admissions, etc.
The burden of the film tax falls upon
the exhibitor, causing many theaters
to raise their prices from and 1Oc to
10 and 15c, but, wishing to be fair to
our patrons, there will be no change in
our prices with this exception: Chill
dren between the ages of 5 and IA
years will be admitted on Tuesdays and
Fridays for SC with 1c tax; on all other
nights the admission will be 10c with 1c
tax for all seats.

Highway Trailer Co. Out for War
Orders.

The Highway Trailer Co., our new
and growing industry, has had several
requests from the government to SUBJ
NIT bids for their product that has
come into quite general use in war
transportation. President Menhall and
Andrew Mcintosh left for Washington
last week but on reaching Chicago
were informed that practical demon
stration would be required of all COM
petitors, so they returned and prepared
one of the company's five to ten ton
trailers for shipment by express which
went forward on Saturday with ex-
press charges of over $500. The
company were prepared to make a
demonstration early this week and
while there was plenty of competition
at hand from older manufacturers, it
is generally conceded that the large
units of the Edgerton company were
the best trailers exhibited and an or
der from Uncle Sam is confidently ex-
pected. The awarding was postponed
until the last of this week. EThe en-
gineer was called to Washington on
Tuesday.

Harvesting the Peanut Crop.

In letter from Chas. L. Culton to
his brother John ]. of this city, under
date of October Is, writing from Jay,
Florida, he describes the gathering of
his 300 acre crop of peanuts:
81 have about 40 negroes working
who live at Pollard, Ala, five miles
from the farm. for whom I have to
send teams to bring them in and take
them back at night. have IL teams
working all the time and 10 white men
besides the drivers. We are also run
ming the peanut picker both day and
night and two teams hauling nuts to
the station. We NOW the vines ahead
of the digging and it requires two
mowers and rake to keep ahead and
two more to draw away the hay. The
peanuts are plowed out by six one
horse plows. Then they are stacked
around pole and capped with hay. 1t
then requires two teams and five men
to haul from the poles to the pickers.
You can see from this that am pretty
busy keeping everything moving. No
one can make me think person can
not do as much in this climate as in the
north. [ have all but 80 acres of the
peanuts dug and in stacks-have over
1900 of them and hope to finish in two
weeks more. The picker is averaging
about 400 bushels in II hour run. l
will have about $50 tons of hay from
the vines when done.
''The recent West Indian hurricane
of a few weeks ago lasted 48 hours and
five inches Of rain fell. Barometers
fell to new record and government
instruments indicated 125 mile an
hour gale. Nearly all the large trees
were uprooted or broken off, no matter
what diameter. Millions of dollars
worth of timber was destroyed. This
country is all right only for these Gulf
storms, but this one was the worst
they ever experienced here. The fam
lily is comfortably fixed at Milton and
come up for me every Saturday after
noon and bring me back Sunday night.
The climate here is fine throughout the
winter"

Otto Olson

The many friends of Otto Olson
were grieved to learn of his death,
which occurred on Oct. Is, 1917.
He had been in Edgerton, associ-
ating cheerfully with his acquaint-
ances the night before, and remain
ed after his family had returned, to
talk with a neighbor with whom he
is supposed to have driven home.
The family do not know just when
he came in, but in the early morn
ing when one of his sons arose to
look after chores, he was Mortified to
find his father lying in a pool of
blood, with a shot gun lying by his
side. The general good cheer and
comradship of Mr.. Olson opposes
the evidence which otherwise would
seem convincing that he became des-
pendent and took his own life.
He was born in Ness, in Hede-
marker, Norway, Dec. rs, 1869, and
was nearly 48 years old at the time
of his death. He came to America
and this community when a lad of Is
years and is thoroughly identified
with Edgerton and her rural COM
munity.
In 1888 he was united in marriage
to Miss Jennie Holloway. Nine child
rem survive. The children are Grov-
er C, Mrs. Emma Rhine, I'll. Du
Wayne, Willard C, S. Rena, Sybil A.
Earl O., E. Stanley, and Delphine L.
The funeral was held Sunday.
The sympathy of their neighbors
and acquaintance is extended the
bereaved family.

Meet Second Defeat at Fort Atkinson

Meet Second Defeat at Fort Atkinson.
Fort Atkinson high school gained re-
venge for the 1916 defeat at the hands
of Edgerton high by winning Saturdays
game with the rival school, q to O. The
battle was closely fought in the first
half, but Edgerton weakened in the
latter part of the game and Fort scored
three touchdowns. Long end runs
featured the attacks of the home team
while the visitors relied upon adapta-
tons of the Minnesota shift and line
plunging for their gains. Edgerton
lost it's best chance to score in the first
half when one of the men fumbled on
Forts two yard line. The field was
soft and muddy and the weather un-
suitable for good work or much en-
thusiasm. Kramer was the individual
star for Fort Atkinson and Kepp's
work stood out best for Edgerton.

One Cent More November 2.

The additional cent postal rate on
letters goes into effect today. Those
having supply of two-cent stamped
envelopes on hand at that time will be
compelled to use them, placing thereon
the additional one cent stamp, for they
cannot be exchanged at the postoffice.
In fact it is doubtful if the postoffice
will be supplied with the new three
cent envelopes by the time the law
goes into effect. Three cent stamps
can be procured at any time, being one
of the regular denominations on sale.

The regiment drew a bad camp site
as did the 1st New Hampshire, but
otherwise is well provided for. The
boys found kitchens already con-

have since been provided. Tent
floors, frames and walls are to be In

The camp is one OF the largest In
the country and is located about two

GUARDS|NEN
ARE ACROSS
NOT ONE LOST
Bigger Movement of Troops
Than Suspected
TRAINING IN FRANCE
National Guard Divisions, With the
Regulars Now There, Will Make
Real Army.

With the American Army in
France, Thursday, NOV. 29,- Nation
al Guardsmen from every State in
the Union have arrived in France,
II is today permitted to be announc-
ed, They are among the troops now
training or lately arrived
While it is not permitted to dis
close the identity OF units, 1t may be
said that all those which sailed from
the United States have arrived safely
and that some already are In train
ing within sound of the guns on the
battle front.
They are showing a spirit in keep
ing with the purpose of all concerned
to make the American expeditionary
force homogeneous American army
in which each division, whether reg
ular. National Guard or National
Army, cannot be distinguished in eff
ficiency from the others The former
State troops are billeted over a wide
area and are pronounced excellent
soldiers
The gnardsmen have been arriving
in the American zone for many
weeks. They are scattered some
what, but. as far as possible the units
from the same State have been kept
close together except in one case
They found the regular army had
made good preparations for them and
while many are billeted in houses in
French towns, others have been quar-
tered in low wooden barracks spec
tally erected
che troops from the various States
have been recognized by the French
population and have been welcomed
enthusiastically Many of the units
on arriving in billet towns wore the
French red, white and blue cockade
pinned to their campaign hats. These
were given to the soldiers when they
landed at bast ports.
After sufficient time 10 rest from
the Journey, which. in some cases
has been extremely tiresome, the
troops have been set to work train
ing for actual service at the front.
In all quarters they are declared to
be most enthusiastic, and their sol.
dierly qualities have drawn high
praise from the French instructors
During the last few days one unit
has been working with grenades and
automatic rifles, while another has
been working out military problems
in maneuvers. Another unit has been
in the instruction trenches, which
bring them as near as possible to
actual fighting conditions Many of
the former guardsmen in training
.lave heard guns roaring in the dis
tance. They are all being given the
same course of instruction as the
first contingents of regulars have
undergone.
The guardsmen are all in good
health. The reason why it is not
permitted to mention units by name
is that If one is mentioned the way
Is open to mention all others. which
means the revealing of identifica-
tion numbers and other information
which is of Importance to the enemy.
But for the information of the rela
tives and families of the men, every
one who sailed from the United
States has arrived safely in France
