YOUTH lNvENTS
LAND TORPEDO

Forrest McNicol, "a sixteen-year-old
Milwaukee boy, has been granted a
patent by the United States for a land
torpedo that is expected to revolution
ize modern trench warfare.
The patent, it is expected will be
submitted to Secretary of War New
ton D. Baker, with view to its adop-
ton by the American army Mr.. Nc
Nicol, who is a student at the school
of engineering, lives at 359 Ellen
street, Bay View.
The torpedo, which was invented by
McNIcol when he was but fifteen
years old, is so designed that occu-
pants Of a trench can start it off from
the bottom of their trench, head to
ward that occupied by the enemy, and
it will pillow its way through below the
earth, closing up the hole it leaves
behind it and can be exploded by an
electric current when it reached a
point below the trench occupied by
the enemy.

r. B. Griggs, member of the Sank

Madison on Tuesday to be present at
the opening of the bids on the La
Valle- -Wonewoc road. No bids were
received. A member of the commits
sion stated it was difficult to get con-
it was not so difficult to get con-
tractors to take jobs where grading
was to be done and culverts built. II
the roadbe 1 was ready for the material
It was not so difficult to get the job
done On the La valle-W -WoneWoc road
there are to be re-locations, culverts
constructed, grading done and rock
laid down. Just what will be done
this year is not certain. The county
has a lot of work on hand and there
is no one to give his undivided atten-
ton to such a large piece of work
The money to be expended is about
$4,000. 1t is felt the road should be
paved this year and some way may be
found to have it done. The country IS
very sandy and one of the worst pieces
Of highway in the whole state.
The road west of the Ableman mar
rows wIil not be paved this year
The old road to Reedsburg is in good
.condition and work will be done
where it is more needed.

District Attorney and Sheriff at
Portage Investigate Death of an
Anisas.l at Fox Glen


A full grown deer was killed at Fox
Glen, where trunk line No. 65 crosses
the Baraboo river near Portage. The
deer had evidently been frightened on
the cliff, jumped to the roadway, con
siderable distance below, and broke
its neck.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Hays Of Port
age were coming to Portage from Cal
edonia with the Murison truck when
they saw the deer. Stopping in the
road they found that the animal had
broken it's neck.
District Attorney Sanderson was no
titled and Sheriff Schultz went to Fox
Glen, where he found that the animal
met its death by accident
Deer are quite numerous in Gale
donia.. The one killed had been in
a pasture with the cows of the neigh
borhood. The deer are SO tame that
they are fed by farmers from the back
doors of their homes.
The carcass of the deer was given
to District Tttorney Sanderson, who
disposed of it in accordance with the
orders of the state conservation com
mission.

Acreage in the City Is Raised, Also
Other Kinds Of Property---Cir-
Gus Less

City Assessor. j. r. Hofstatter has
completed his work for the year and
the property values are now being
considered by the board of review.
The Ringing circus not returning last
fall made a deficit in the personal
property valuation of s125,000, and
the Gollmar circus being sold reduced
the valuation about $4,000. This
has been made. up by adding $4,000
to the Island Woolen mill last year
and $4,000 this year, together with
increases on other property.
The Frank Herfort Canning COM
pany has added greatly to the acre
age of land in the city. About 100
acres have been purchased from the
Case families, Howard Briscoe, Mrs.
George Rutland and Mrs. r. M. La
Toilette. The purchase of the land
of Mrs. La Toilette removes her name
from the tax roll, as she has no more
property here.
The valuation of the acreage land
in Baraboo has been raised from $25

WHEAT LAW MAY
Be REPEALED

Congress soon may be urged to
repeal the present law under winch
growers of wheat are guaranteed
fixed price of 1926 per busnel by the
government. A determined crusade
against this statue appears to be sett-
ing in and it already is plainly
apparent that the matter must be
given serious consideration.
Senator Gronna chairman OF the
committee on agriculture, and other
Senators from wheat growing states
are being deluged with letters from
farmers. All protest against the fixed
price for wheat and insist that the
law be abolished They believe their
interests would be better conserved
by selling their product at the market
price.
The chief argument advanced by
the farmers is that the millers are
deriving all the benefit from the fixed
price for wheat and none of this ad-
vantage comes to them They point
out that no limit has been placed on
the profit of the millers. They dem
onstrate that the price of flour at this
time is far in excess of that justified
by wheat at $2.26 per bushel. They
declare the profit of the millers should
he limited or they should be permit
ted to sell their wheat for whatever
price they might be able to obtain
from the flour makers.

STORE WET GOODS
OUTSIDE SALOONS

Portage saloonkeepers were notified
by United States internal revenue
agents to remove all Whiskey, ETC.,
from barrels, place same in jugs and
store the wet goods in some place
other than their saloons.
This move was probably taken to
eliminate any temptation of serving
such Intoxicating liquors in saloons
contrary to the wartime prohibition
law.
Saloons in Portage are closed for
selling hard drinks, as the proprietors
refuse to take the chance" until the
ruling on 2A per cent beer and light
wines has been definitely settled. II
2M per cent. beer is declared intoxi-

sold such liquid after midnight Of June
