A 500 Line work train has been busy

$50 feet on the west approach of the
bridge over the Chippewa river. A
steam shovel has been cut in down

dirt necessary to make the fill will be
brought UP from there, and part will
be taken from the west side of the

provement over the long culvert APP

A car of sugar beets loaded for the
Chippewa Falls refinery was shipped
from here last Saturday. The beets
were of an unusually fine type, and
proved to be very profitable crop to
the farmers. The returns were such
that increased acreages will probably
be secured next year. Prolific as the
potato yield has been as rule, some of
the farmers stated that their returns
from sugar beets made them the more
profitable crop.
Activity at the local potato houses is
not so great as it was earlier in the
season, but has settled down to sort
of steady grind. That does not mean
that Bruce is not getting lots of pOta-
toes. P. NJ Crowell is sending out
about Z cars a week from the Leonard,
Crossett & Riley house. e. r. Leach
has been averaging about cars week
from the Beggs house, but is pushing
that record up. In the neighborhOod
of 40 cars has been shipped this sea-
son and only small part of the crop
has been moved. The slump in the
market has caused many farmers to
store their crop for the present.
Vern McGill has accepted a position
with the Somers Produce Co., of Rice
Lake, and will buy potatoes for them
at Brill this fall. He came up from
Stanly last Friday to pack up their
household goods preparatory to NOV

ANOTHER BRUCE BOY
DIES IN THE SERVICE

Mr. and Mrs John Vos received a
telegram from Camp Dodge last Thurs
day advising of them of the serious i'll
ness of their son, Arrie Vos They left
for Camp Dodge Friday. They found
him very i'll but apparently recovering
satisfactorily 1t was rumOred that a
quarantine might be laid shortly, SO
dcntly he suffered a relapse shortly af-
ter they left as message was received
Monday evening stating that he had
died that afternoon The body is ex-
pe1ted here the latter part of the week.
He enlisted with an Iowa company
last June, shortly after the registra-
ton, and has been in training at Camp
Dodge ever since.
The deceased was Il years old last
November. He was youngg man of
sterling worth as was evidenced by his
voluntary enlistment shortly after
reaching his majority. Though death
places his name on the honor roll of
his country, it came in a manner sol
der would not choose. To fall, if one
must, charging the enemy is soldiers
way of meeting the final summons.
The honor is not greater, but it is every
soldiers desire.
Besides his father and mother, he
leaves two sisters, Hattie and Lucille !;
and five brothers Walter, now in the
service at Camp Pike, Ark; Louis, of
Tracy Mimi. Anthony, who conducts
the Vos Auto Co. here tWynant and
Herman who are still at the home south
