| Complaints are made that consi1-
cradle petty thieving is going on in the
lefty. 1t is annoying to the ones who
lose things, and it is very bad for the
guilty. 1t is thought that most of it is
done by young boys, and the parents
ought to be on the lookout for the
4 whereabouts of their children when not
in school. 1t is up to the parents; no
Iperson and no organization can do what
the parents can do to teach morality
and right conduct.
4 Miss Mabel Strasberg of Madison,
a former Edgerton girl, the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Strasberg. was
united in marriage to DR.. Floyd Shear
er. member of the Drs Shearer firm,
a week ago last Friday. The ceremony
was performed at Rockford, Ill. The
couple left Immediately for Chicago and
Milwaukee. They expect to be gone
for couple weeks, and will then re-
turn to Edgerton to live at 201 Main
| st. This popular young couple have
hosts of friends to welcome them and
wish them JOY and happiness. The
Reporter congratulates.
! Section 257 Of the Revenue Act of
February 25, 1919, provides for the
posting in every post Office of list of
names of all individuals who filed in
come tax returns in the Office of the
collector of internal revenue, covering
the preceding taxable year. This is a
new feature of individual income tax
Legislation and is the first time pro-
vision has been made for giving pub
licity to the namos of those who filed
income tax returns. These lists have
now been completed and have been
mailed to all postmasters in the state,
with the request that they post the
same upon their bulletin board for pub
lie inspection. 1t is, therefore, pre-
sumed that all such lists are posted at
this time and available for use of the
public.
-Edgerton is to be well represented
at the 18th Wisconsin Older Boys con-
ference. Among those leaving Friday
morning for the three days conference
lat Sheboygan are Chester Peters. Will
! Ogden, Scott Hatch, Fred Carrier,
Wayne Clarke, Royal Under, Earl Mel
son. Two of these delegates are rep
resenting the following organizations:
Congregational church, M. E. church
and the Iriquois club. Thirty three boys
representing various clubs in Rock
county are going to this conference
under the general supervision of j. K.
Arnot, secretary Of Rock Co. Y. M. G.
A.. In addition to these the Beloit and
GAINESVILLE city associations are sending
large delegations. Seven or eight hun
Idred boys between Is and 20 are ex-
pected at this annual conference.
i Realizing the greatness of the road
program in Wisconsin in 1920, the Wis
consin Highway commission has called
a conference of contractors, material
men, machinery manufacturers and
public officials. This conference will
meet at the state capitol on December
3rd and 18th, 1919, to discuss ways and
means of attacking the 1920 program.
All interested in road work are invited
to attend and participate in the discus
sions. The amount of work to be UNI
dertaken will amount to approximately
$40, 600, 0G0 which is double the amount
undertaken in 1919. This means that
. if the work IS confined to the usual
short working session, the number of
men, teams and trucks must be doubled.
The commission believes, however, that
by proper letting of contracts, winter
hauling, better organization of work
ing crews, use of more machinery, and
other methods, that more wogk can be
done by the same number of men than
, is done now.
