With this issue, The Wisconsin to-
bacco Reporter passes out of the hands
of the estate of F. w. Coon. The
paper has been owned and run by him
since 1881. We feel that we may justly
take pride in his management. He
was at no time Influenced in his policies
by selfish motives, but actuated by
what he believed to be the best inter-
ests of this city and community. We
believe that it will be recognized by
the readers Of The Reporter that his
counsels of moderation and fairness,
calculated rather to build up than tear
down, were, in the long run, despite
temporary appearances to the contrary
at times, best calculated to promote
good spirit and community welfare.
We have sold The Reporter to Mr..
D. G. Ristad of Red Wing, Minnesota,
who was formerly a resident of this
city and Albion from 1892 to 1906.
Since leaving Albion Academy, he has
been successfully president of the Park
Region College at Fergus Falls, Mimi,
and of the Ladies Seminary at Red
Wing. He will assume possession of
The Reporter at the close of business
August second. On account of the
necessity of closing his business and
personal affairs and moving his family
here, he will not be able to assume
active and personal charge of the paper
until about the first of September. In
the short interval before he does as
sumo active charge of the paper, Mr..
Knapp will run The Reporter. Mr..
Ristad has made arrangements to re-
tain Mr.. Knapp, Mr.. Smith and Mr..
Muffiey, who have so ably and efic-
iently assisted Mr.. Coon during so
many years.
We bespeak for Mr.. Ristad, and the
office force of The Reporter under his
able management, the cordial and
hearty support of the community. We
know that in his hands the reputation
and influence of The Reporter will not
suffer. He is SO well known to large
part of the people here that it is un-
necessary for US to comment on him or
those qualities which make him an ideal
successor for Mr.. Coon.
We wish to thank the readers and
patrons of The Reporter for their sup
port in times past.
MRS. F. w. Coon.

Attention.

I have been asked by several of my
former customers in Edgerton why
their gasoline stoves smoke and smell
so.
| wish to state that the cause is the
gasoline is adulterated or in other
words it is blended gasoline. Blended
gasoline is made from low grade gas
oline and natural gas compounded to-
gether by new process which gives
you the necessary quantity that good
gasoline should have, although you
still have the low ends in this gasoline
that causes your stove to smoke and
SMELL
The Stoughton High Test Oil Co. is
handling only Penn. straight run 68 to
70 test gasoline. This is the first
straight run Penn gasoline that has
been handled in the state of Wisconsin
for some time, due to the fact that
the war took their output. Every drop
is sold with guarantee of perfect sat-
isfaction, with no smoke or smell. The
price of the same is Soc gallon sold
in 80 gallon lots. Your orders solicited.

Express Yourself Accurately.

Few of us are ever called upon to
quote Latin phrases, or discuss those
achievements that have made ancient
history, but today every one of US is
expected TO be able to express him.
self accurately, in plain, simple
language-"words" that the average
person understands. The wonders
and glories and triumphs of a dead
past make pleasant reading for people
who have the time to thus indulge
their tastes, but for the girl who
must make every minute count-and
the struggle for bread and butter
means just that-practical books that
will help her to express herself GOA
rectly are the works she should read
in her spare time. IL she is in doubt
as to what subjects she ought to take
up let her quickly seek the advice of
some good. sensible friend some per-
son who Is competent to select the
most profitable kind of matter, and
then she should act faithfully on this
coaching.-Exchange.

Fire Precautions For Threshers.

Over $4,000 worth of grain in stack
was destroyed by fires caused by thresh-
ing engines last year in Wisconsin,.
There was further loss on buildings
and straw stacks amounting to several
thousand dollars from the same source.
The Industrial Commission of Wiscon-
sin recommends few simple precau-
tons:
Do not stack your grain too near
buildings A fire in the grain stacks
may destroy your buildings also, or
chimney spark may set the stacks on
fire.
Do not place the stacks within 200
feet from railway track
A plowed fire guard, of not less than
six burrows, around each set of stacks
will protect them against running fires
Smoking on or around grain or straw
stacks should not be permitted
See that the threshing engine smoke
stack is equipped with good, effective
spark arrester.
Every threshing crew should carry
along two or more approved, chemical
fire extinguisners to combat incipient
fires.
Farmers should place near each set
of stacks some barrels filled with water
and few pals.
The engineer should be required to
keep all oily waste in metal recepta-
cles.

Community Picnic.

August 7th is the day that you should
lay aside all your cares and come to the
Community Picnic at the Driving Park.
Come early and stay late, as there
will be something doing all day long.
There will be good ball game in the
morning when Edgerton and Cambridge
will cross bats, and tine afternoon game
between Whitewater and Jefferson will
be worth going many miles to see.
There will be music all day by the
best band in the state, and last but not
least, the pavement dance will bring to
close the days free entertainments.
After the pavement dance, dance for
the benefit of the Edgerton band will
be given in Academy hall.
The Edgerton Chamber of Commerce
invites you-everyone.
Come one. Come ali.
Let us get together and make this
one big day.

Howard F. Bliss.

In the passing of Howard f. Bliss,
managing editor of the Gazette, and
president of the Gazette Printing Co.,
his associates and friends have suffered
a distinct loss.
His counsel was wise and his criti-
cisms, when offered, were constructive.
His vision was broad and his convic-
tons sincere; he was tolerant of 9TH
ers' views and believed that smile
and handclasp were helpful to the
other fellow His religion had much
of its foundation on service, and he
practiced it in the simple, unselfish,
everyday life with no thought other
than to be of service in the community
and to his fellowmen. He was lover
of children and of the outdoors, and
because of the heart overlooking with
sympathy his appeal touched responsive
cords in other hearts, and this power
or gift, after all, spells for greatness.
He had great faith in his home COM
munity and firmly believed that James,
vile would eventually take her place
among the aggressive cities of the
state. His regret that he could not
live to take an active part in the pro-
gram was often expressed.
He was identified, both personally
and through his writings and the news
columns of the Gazette, with every
forward development of the community
for many years.
He was a firm believer that the bet
ter qualities of manhood, if appealed
to, would respond and dominate the
human being, and his faith in friend
was mistaken through any stress.
The impress of fine character such
as his will be felt as the years pass and
the fruitage of his pure life will act as
an example to those who follow

FORCED TO WAIT FOR NEWS
People Got information Slowly Before
the Invention Of the Telegraph
and the "WireIess."

Today when the latest news of the
day is flashed all over the world by
wire and wireless, we are apt to
forget the difficulties of gathering
news before telegraphs were in gen.
eral operation. The earliest fast news
courier service of record was reported
by Marco Polo, who relates that Geng-
his Khan, ruler of Chinese Tartary in
the thirteenth century, sent relays Of
cOuriers across the country, covering
about 800 miles each day.
David Hale, manager of the New
York Journal of Commerce from 1927
until some time in the 3O's, found his
paper shut out of 8 news-gathering
combination, SO he organized an indie
pendent service. He first created a
private news boat service, which en-
abled him to scoop all his competitors
in bringing the first news of the French
revolution to this country. During the
exciting period of Jackson's admins
tratiOn he established a horseback ex-
press service from Philadelphia to
New York, which resulted in the insti-
tuition OF the celebrated Halifax ex-
press"
Richard Haughton, founder of the
Boston Atlas, used relays of horses to
gather election news in Massachu-
sets. and he was able to print the
returns of the election of 1880 at Q
o'clock on the morning after election.

Context of the New License Law Re.
garding CANNES.

In signing the new dog license law,
Governor Philip attached memo
randa that while he agrees that owners
of sheep are entitled to every protec-
ton, he thinks the law is unnecessarily
severe. The law places the license as
high as SIS, and means the extermina-
ton of hundreds of dogs. Sheep rails
ers have been trying for years to get a
dog license. The law provides tax
of So on male dogs and SIS on females.
This in no way effects local license and
in such cases double license is to be
secured. The law takes effect July l.,
1920. Owners of dogs are to be sub
jected to a ''third degree" examina-
ton by assessors, who are to compile
an accurate census of dogs in their dis
tricts. They are to receive 20 cents
for each dog listed. Every person is
deputized as a dog catcher" by the
law. Any dog without license tag
that is injured or destroyed shall be
presumed to be unlicensed. Any per-
son is empowered to kill dog found
worrying any domestic animal. Officers
are to receive fee of ST each for i'm
pounding or killing unlicensed dogs.
If dog, unlicensed, is found in ones
yard he must chase him out at once as
the law makes it unlawful to permitSan
''illegal' dog to loiter on ones prem
ises. Between sunset and sunrise ev-
cry dog must either be confined or &C
companied by it's owner, as the law
provides that dogs found at large after
dark, whether licensed or not, can be
disposed of. A penalty of from SIS to
$50 is to be imposed upon violators of
the law.

MUST BE ATTIcS SOMEWHERE
Possibly They Differ From Those %
an Earlier Generation, But They
Are Not All Gone.

An eastern newspaper laments the
passing of the attic. The modern
home is without this historical mu-
scum Of the family. And as for the
fiat-why the attic OF the fiat 10
miserable little storeroom in the base
ment. Where the attic once -four
ished in the old-fashioned mansion
with the clock on the stairs, there Is
now luxurious suite for the cook, or
for the boys. And the walls have pa
per with pink roses on it, and there is
plumbing and all that sort Of thing.
Where are the trivial fond records of
the famiiy's long or recent past now
kept!
I'm this section of the country we
take heart Of grace. A sale to aid the
outpouring, IL not of the old familiar
attic, yet something that must have
taken it's place-possibly the larger
and more frequent closet with win
dow in It."
The attic may go, but the attic
spirit remains. Somebody In the world
somewhere wants these things. They
come out and are snapped up" Ii
there is no attic in the modern house
there must be something that CORE
spends to it. Is it big closet some
where, or is there room at the top
that still gathers the odds and ends?--

DURING the year, May 1918 to May
1919, approximately 5000 silos were
built in Wisconsin, and the total num-
Der increased from Ga, 668 to about TO-
500. That this was done in the face of
greatly increased cost of labor and
material shows how well the value of
silage as feed has impressed itself
upon Wisconsin farmers. 1t is estlm-
ated that there is one or more silos on
everv third farm in Wisconsin.

that which we are capable of making
