SELLING ANCIENT EGGS.
Man Comes To Grief After DispOsing
of Hen Fruit.

For disposing of ancient hen fruit
to a local grocer, a man residing in
this city paid fine of S25 and costs in
Justice Cavanagh's court on Wednes-
day. Owners of poultry who dispose of
over ripe eggs are liable under the
law for selling the same to customer
or dealer. The complaint was made by
a representative of the dairy and food
division of the state.
The same official caused the arrest
of local meat market man for using
a meat preservative, which is sold in
Wisconsin. He acknowledged the corn
and paid his fine. AS it is unlawful to
use such preservatives it should also
be unlawful to sell the same in the
state.

FARM TRACTOR
STANDS TEST
IN REAL TRIAL
Splendid Work Done On Otto Stue-
ber's Farm Near Redwood On
Wednesday-A Fine Machine
For Farmers.

In trial test before a large num-
Der of farmers on the Otto Stuebe1
farm near Redwood Wednesday, the
Fordson farm tractor stood up to
the work and did more if possible
than was expected of it in the severe
trials to which it was subjected, show
ing conclusively that it is the machine
for the farmer in this section of Wis
consin, not too big for the small farm
nor too small for the big farm. The
tests were carried out by the dealers
Klinger & Mayer Co. of Watertown.
While demonstrations in the field
have been successfully carried on be-
fore, the one of Wednesday was to
show the belt pulley attachment. Two
loads of the dryest corn stalks that
could be procured were reduced in
short time without any apparent eff
fort on the part Of the machine. The
pulley was attached on the side Of the
tractor and operated from the engine
clutch Twenty-Five horsepower is
available at the pulley, which runs at
1000 revolutions per minute. The size
of the pulley to be used is optional.
Many of the neighboring farmers
were present at the demonstration.
One of the visitors came sixty-five
miles to see the unique machine work.
The tractor was converted for field
use in less time than it takes to write
this. One 14-inch pillow was attached
and a couple of burrows was turned
over August Fehrman, route 8, who
recently purchased a Fordson, has al
ready plowed up about forty acres of
his land, averaging about six acres a
day. The fuel consumption varies with
conditions, two and one half gallons
of kerosene per acre being fair av-
erage.
A Large Saving.
In these days of conservation of
energy and food the Fordson comes as
a special gift to the farmer who can
save in horsefesh and food for the
animals, at the same time accomplish
ing the work, not only in the field in
less time, but also the necessary work
at home, such as feed cutting, silo
filling, wood cutting and the like. In
fact the Fordson is a practical and
economical farm power machine with
in the reach of all pocketbooks.
The test at the Stueber farm was
conclusive evidence that the machine
can do the work under the most try
ing conditions.

lions of. their superiOrs. In many
cases a corporal attained high posi-
ton in the company. At first it seemed
hardly possible that these men could
ever bring the company to the high
standard it boosted Of in bygone
years. The results, however, of few
weeks of hard drill have proved that
the present officers of the military
company, and especially the captain,
have not only made good, but have al
so raised the standard of the company
to a high degree of efficiency. Let US
therefore hope that the military COM
pany of the future may not be I'M
worthy Of it's predecessors-a hope
which every officer and private may
do something to make good.

to carry out many important missions,
before their departure from the city.
The delegation accepted their excuse
and babe them farewell.
In as far as the course of our mill
tary company can be summarized in a
phrase, it may be described as a drift
towards efficiency. Every officer and
every private, who has steadily pur-
sued this course, which was begun by
our predecessors, has not only mould
ed the company to it's present shape OF
efficiency, but has also hindered and
INSTRUCTED any progressing evil or in
the ranks of our company. From the
work of these men who have en-
trenched our company in an effica,
cious military system, the present mil
itary company enjoys the fruits Of
labors. To these men the company
owes it's existence and efficiency
Very few military companies can look
back upon such long career or al
vancement in efficiency and thorough,
ness, and at the same time OF almost
unbrOken success as an instructive
and educational system as our pres
ent military company. At the present
| time our company faces unsurmOunt-
able difficulties. The war called sew
eral of our most highly efficient mel
to the colors and also forced severa
high officers to discontinue thei1
studies and enter other schools. This
deficiency caused considerable
change in the administrative system
of the company. Men of lower posi-
lions, who naturally had during thei
short period of executive service il
the company gained very little expert
ence in the administrative system O

 Rainbow Divisions Record
 "The Rainbow division had its com- bat training in the Lorraine sector, north of Luneville.. It left that posi- ton to arrive east of Reims where on July 15 it helped break the main Ger man attack. When the French and American counter offensive was launched on the Marne salient the division appeared there shortly in re- lief of other units. Our reports indicate the following:
 'In eight days of battle the forty second division has forced the passage of the Ourcq, taken prisoners from SIX enemy divisions, met. routed. decimated q crack division of the Prussian guards. 2 Bavarian division and one other division and driven back the enemy's lines for sixteen kilometers.'

 The enemy were apparently taken by surprise and made no essential resist ance in the center. confining their strong resistance to the Hanks. Hit ting the big salient on a thirteen mile front, we pushed it in an average of eight miles and reduced it from an outer salient to an inner salient. That gives us a salient somewhat corre- spending to the Marne salient and places the enemy again in a bad posi- tiOn.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Promo- tion of 4l3 line officers of the navy and Is officers of the coast guard was recommended to Secretary Daniels to- day by the naval board of selection of which Admiral Mayo is president. The promotions, which in some cases are permanent and in others only tempo rary range all the way from com manders to rear admirals and are made necessary by the rapid expansion of the navy planned for the next year.
 Approval of the recommendations by President Wilson is necessary before any of the promotions become effective and only a comparatively few of the officers are needed at this time for the duties 10 which it is the intention to assign them.
