lines furnishing direct connection
with South America have been esta5

freight rates and provide greater
shipping space, thereby encouraging
trade. The increase in the maximum

the annual rate OF about $3.50, O00.-

ing us definitely Of Europe's crIdit
requirements for 1920, and what IL
needs from the United States in The
way of commodities. The British
mission submitted no data regatd-
ing financial requirements, but
France, Italy and Belgium Jointly
stated their need at $500, 900, 900
credits in 1920. Frances minimum
credit needs for the coming year are
estimated at $6OO,OOO,OOO; Italy's
requirements at 100000. 900; while
Belgium wants about 100000, 900.
France wishes her credits funded for
not less than ten years. including in
terest payments on existing loans.
Italy also desires her credits funded
until she Is able to make payments
out Of indemnlties received from
Germany and Austria. Belgium be-
lieves that she will be able to repay

LEAF HOPPER

The state department of agriculture

Of repeated warnings sent to potato
raisers to spray thoroughly the leaf
hopper has been allowed to set foot

Serious loss from the leaf hopper
is unnecessary, as careful and timely

(From Tuesdays daily

From the best information obtainable
the late Postmaster Pearson and his
companion T. Harry TudCA did not
see or hear the approaching train
which struck the car in which they
were riding. Trains usually approach
Crawford's crossing without steam as
the grade is downward. The highway
approach to the crossing is very steep
and whether or not the automobile
engine died is not known. Mr.. Tudor
was on the rear seat and not in a
position to know exactly what
happened. He was not aware the
train was near and is quite sure the
late postmaster did not see the ap-
preaching locomotive. Engineer Gal
laher was on the engine.
The funeral of the late Postmaster
Alger G. Pearson will be held on
Thursday afternoon, 1:30 at the home
and 2:30 at the Congregational church.
After his death at the hospital the
body was taken to the undertaking
rooms of Blackburn, Scheible & Dyrud
and later to the home in the town Of
Greenfield.

CAN DRINK ON
MONDAY BUT
NOT SUNDAY


AS a result of the fracas that took
place at Devils Lake last Sunday and
which resulted in two fines being inn
posed, the charges against a Reeds
burg citizen of bringing intoxicating
liquor onto state, park property have
been held in allegiance pending an
opinion from the attorney general as
to the seriousness Of the act.
One opinion is to the effect that il
is unlawful to bring liquor onto state
park grounds on Sunday and give It
to others, but if the act is committed
on any of the other six days of the
week there is no recourse to the law.
, Park superintendent Atwood Smith,
who is doing everything he can to
make Devils Lake State park one Of
the most inviting spots in the state, is
interested in having the conservation
commission make atest case Of the

and z. Harry Tudor was hurt when
the car in which they were riding
was struck by the engine of a freight
train at Crawford's crossing. Post
master Pearson's neck was broken
and he died a few minutes Ater.
being taken to the hospital. Mr..
Tudor was not dangerously injured.
The two were on their way to the
lake in the closed car owned by the
postmaster The approach to the
crossing is very step, many cars not
being able to make the ascent on
high. The track is plainly visible to
the south, the direction from which
the train approached Evidently they
had not quite time to cross the track
and were caught by the train. II
The track is down grade as it ap-
proaches the crossing and difficult to
stop a train readily.
About the time the train stopped
Mr.. and Mrs. E. #. Boehm approached
the crossing from the direction Of the
lake They saw the signal to back the
freight and STOPPED their automobile.
They soon learned of the accident and
brought the postmaster and his com
panion to the hospital. MIR. Pearson
was unconscious and, as previously
stated, died soon after being brought
to Baraboo
Was Young Man
Mr. Pearson was a son of the late
State Senator Charles L. Pearson. The
mother and other members of the fam
lily reside in the town of Greenfield,
near Baraboo. The postmaster was a
young man, aged about "a years. He
received his appointment about Sep
tember /, 1916 from President Will
SON. succeeding F. E. Shuts. When
the world war came he entered the
army and was in France for some
time.
The two in the car were camping
at ahe lake. They were in Baraboo
abratnoGn and were looking for r.
b. Curtis just before leaving. Not
being able to find Mr. Curtis they left
for the lake without him.
Mr.. Tudor was an officer in the
army, leaving Baraboo with Company
"A of this city and Reedsburg.
Mr.. Tudor was sitting in the rear
seat and no doubt this saved him
from more serious injuries. He has
a bump on his head and a cash on
one knee. When the locomotive
struck the front of the automobile
Mr.. Pearson was thrown about two
rods He was injured in number of
places.
The car, Ford sedan, is a wreck.

Louis Gonsolin was an expert swimmer
and had no difficulty in reaching the

appear to have the strength to battle
with the current and in a moment
called for help.
Mr.. Prouty plunged into the stream
and attempted to rescue the drowning
man He reached Gonsolin and at
tempted to bring him back, but finding
he could not, turned for the shore. He
soon sank from sight in the strong
current.
Mr.. Conley next rushed to the res
cue, but was not able to reach either
of the others and soon sank below the
surface

streaf 4ttt eouad do nothing. The
current washed him to a piling in
the stream and he clung to this for
some time. It is stated with some
uncertaintly that an effort was made
