WILL BOND COUNTY
FOR sum OF $4,000
To FIGHT PLAGUE
Board Of Supervisors Also ApprOpri-
ate $4,000 For the Council Of De-
fense-TO Build Tubercular
Institute.

jefferson county will be bonded in
the sum of $4,000 to fight the white
plague. This action was taken at the
special meeting of the board of super
visors Tuesday afternoon presided
over by J. F. Prentiss of WATERFOWL
The session lasted only during the af-
ternoon.
The board also voted an apprOpria-
ton of $4,000 for the County Council OF
Defense This will enable the council
to carry on it's war activities without
being obliged to stint at every turn
and is money we'll expended.
The matter Of tuberculosis sani-
tarium has been before that body pre-
viously, but nothing has ever came of
the attempt to establish such an insti-
tute 1t was thought at one time that
a joint institute with Waukesha or
Dodge county could be arranged but
these plans fell through. The location
of the institute has not been decided
upon, but in all likelihood it will be
located on the county farm near JEFF

Get a Good Start.

II wish 1 could do something to make
the world a bit happier" sighed a
young girl. "Tm so useless and insig-
nificant l don't seem to be able to do
anything worth while.''
The great-aunt who heard her plant,
a wise old lady with faculty for plain
speech, looked at her thoughtfully. $50
you want to make the world happier?'
ooh, do. want it more than any
thing"
"Then you're starting wrong. Just
look at yourself in the mirror if you
doubt it. Your face is as wOebegone
as if you'd lost your last friend. Your
voice just now was so doleful that it
would have lowered the spirits of any
passerby who had happened to hear it.
There's one sure way of making the
world happier and that's by being hap
by yourself. A smiling face and a
cheerful voice are contributions we all
can make to the general store of good
cheer But the world was never made
happier by wilmer"

Imitation Leather.

Linseed oil, certain paints, rosin.
gum, and q chemical treatment-and
we will have compound as tough and
as durable as leather! Such are the
wonders of modern chemistry; from
substances inelastic and useless of
themselves, valuable commercial arti-
cles are being made, says the Popu-
lar Science Monthly.
The process for producing this imi-
tation leather Is based upon one dis
covered so long ago as 1864. At this
time Frederick Walton found out how
a durable and sanitary floor covering
could be made. This cOvering-the
forerunner of our modern linoleum-
consisted of a strong canvas cloth COW
cred with an oil-and-rosin compound
heated and hardened while exposed to
the air. A modification gives patent
leather

NOT A CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS SAYS
SENATOR MULbERGER
WatertOwn Man Probably Strongest
In the Field So Far But Does Not
Aspire To Further Political
HOnOrS.

Senator Charles Mulberger, whose
name has been mentioned as a pos
sible democratic candidate for con-
gress in the Second district, will in
all likelihood not be a candidate, al
though urged by many friends in the
district to make the run. 1t is con-
coded that he has the support of the
prominent men Of the party through
out the district and was in close touch
with the leaders of the democratic
party.
With the withdrawal of Senator
Mulberger the field will be left clear
for other candidates to make the fight
in. 1t is rumored that Senator Bickler
of Ozaukee county will soon toss
his hat into the political ring in case
Senator Mulberger retires. Many
friends of Senator Mulberger will re-
greet his decision as there was pos
sible chance to have a WatertOwn man
sit in the halls of congress and it is
certain that he would have received a
handsome endorsement at the polls.
Home pride should have made his
candidacy a united one in this city,
but the slight opposition engendered
would have had but little weight and
in nOwise would affect the result
The name of John Clifford of Ju-
neau has also been mentioned in con-
nectiOn with the place. Mr.. Clifford
has been for many years clerk of the
courts of Dodge county
Grell Candidate.
On the republican side Jefferson
county will in all probability have a
candidate. Assemblyman Henry j.
Grell of Johnson Creek will probably
be candidate against Congressman
VOight Mr.. Grell served two terms in
the Wisconsin legislature and many
of his political friends believe that he
can secure the republican nomination
and carry the district.

COMPANIES
ARE now MERGED
UNDER ONE HEAD
American Railroad Express Company
Is Title of New Organization
With a Capital Stock of
$3O,OOO,OOO

Further information was received
this morning by V. F. Moore, local
manager of the American Express
company, in regard to the cOnsolida-
ton of the express organizations un-
der the guidance of Director General
McAdOo. The new company, says Mr..
Moore, will be capitalized at 100000
900, the actual value of the physical
properties and cash put into the bust
ness. Instead of having numerous con-
tracts with individual railroads for
various amounts, there will be but one
blanket contract with the entire gov
eminent controlled railroads. By this
contract, the American Railroad Elk
press company will collect insure,
as in the past, and the government
railroads will haul them. The rates
charged for express transportation will
continue to be under government con-
troll
How the general reorganization will
work out for the benefit of the ship
ping public, is tentatively outlined in
an interview given out by George c.
Taylor, former president of the Am
erican Express, and now president of
the new consolidation:
Hereafter the Express companies
will eliminate the individual identity
which has separated them for the last
three-quarters of a century and offer
to the government and to their joint
patrons a unified, single express SER
vice.
In the future, merchants, manufac-
turers, and individuals need merely
specify "By Express and the entire
man power and vehicle power of the
express world will respond to their
call.
At no time in the history of the rail-
roads has the volume Of express traf-
fic been so great as it is today, the
business reaching a total during the
past fiscal year of over two hundred
million dollars ($2OO,OOO,OOO.
Already the vast terminals now
maintained by the various companies
are being unified for a practical saw
ing of time and transfer.
The street equipment of between
twenty and thirty thousand motor and
horse vehicles are undergoing a re-
distribution to avoid duplication of
routes.
Branch agencies and multiple Of
fees in many cities will be subject to
an economical REIMBURSEMENT.
The claim departments will be uni
fed and closer cooperation estab-
lished with the shippers to eliminate
losses resulting from faulty packing
and incorrect marking of shipments"
