Continental Axle Company.

The Continental Axle company new
preferred stock sale is on the home
stretch; SIG, 900 of the $3.50, 900 offered
to the public at this time has been
taken. The company has been at work
on the II ton truck axle for some time.
1t is now completed and ready for the
market. The orders are coming in at
the rate of between 500, 900 and $50, 900
per month, according to statement
made by Mr.. Menhall to a Reporter
representative, and that is about the
size of the business that can be taken
care of at the present time, and the
margin of profit is very satisfactory.
The company has been conservative in
the use of the capital invested in the
plant, and as result it has produced a
factory and equipment which even in
these times of high cost took COM
paratively small capital, considering it's
capability of output.

Obituary
MRS. MARY BINTLIFF.


The mother of Mrs. Geo. Doty, Mrs.
Mary Bintliff, passed away at her
daughters home Thursday of last week,
at the age of 81 years. Some days
earlier she had the misfortune of fall
ing in such way as to fracture one of
the hip bones. Complications set in,
and this together with her advanced
age resulted in her death. Mrs. Bint-
lifts maiden name was Mary Lewis.
She was born in New York state in
1888. In 1850 she was married to Thos.
Bintliff in Utica, N. Y. Coming west
they first settled in Monroe, Wis. Her
husband fought in the civil war and
fell in the battle of Prairie Grove, Ark.
Mrs. Bintliff was left with five chill
dren, four of whom survive her. They
are: Mrs. Charles Felt of Los Angeles,
CAL, Mrs. A. K. South of Wilmington,
CAL, Will C. Bintliff whose home is in
South Dakota, and Mrs. Geo. Doty Of
this city. During the past 80 years
she has had her home with her daugh-
ter here. The funeral was conducted
from the Doty home last Saturday,
Mr.. M. j. Richardson of the GAINESVILLE
Christian Science society officiating,
and her body was laid to rest in the
Fassett cemetery. Mrs. Bintliff was a
lovable character, gentle and consider
ate. She leaves many close friends,
besides her own family, who loved her
reverently and will miss her compan-
ionship.

ELERY WARDELL BARBER.

Elery Wardell Barber, son of Charles
D. Barber, deceased, and Mary E.,
passed away at the Barber home three
miles north of Edgerton last Sunday,
Aug. L. Mr.. Barber was born in Sum-
ner, Jefferson county, Dec. Is, 1881.
He was the youngest in the family of
four children VIM. Barber who is on
the old homestead with his aged moth
err, Mrs. Penn Brown Jr. on a farm
near Edgerton, and George F. Barber,
minister of the gospel in the M. E.
church, now in charge of congrega-
ton at Fremont, Ohio. Elery was
graduated from the common schools in
the spring of 1899. He entered the AL
bion academy and was graduated with
honor from this institution in 1908. The
following year he was student at the
Lawrence university, going there to-
gether with his near friend, VIM. Otto.
He decided to take up teaching of man.
ual training as his life work, and to
prepare himself for this work he en-
tered the Stout training school at Me-
nominee, Wis. This proved wise
move. He was an unusually capable
student in any subject, but the work of
the Stout course appealed to the best
powers in him, and when he was grad
uated from this school after completing
the prescribed course, he had distin-
guished himself as one of the best
pupils in the history of the school. He
accepted position in the schools of
Fargo, N. D., and did fine work during
the next three years. However, he
longed to go back to Wisconsin, and
accepted position as manual training
teacher in the high school at GAINESVILLE.
He served here successfully one year
and part of the next, when he was
obliged to lay down his work, due to
illness. In June, 1913, he was united
in marriage to Ann j. McCauly of
Oconomowoc. the marriage taking place
in the St. Joseph church of Edgerton.
To this union were born Elizabeth, who
is 5, Harry 8 and Catherine 2, who to-
gether with his widow, his deeply sor-
rowing mother, sister and brothers are
left to mourn their loss. The funeral
was conducted last Wednesday at 10 a.
m. from the ST. Joseph church, the
Rev. Father Harlin officiating, and the
body laid to rest in the church ceme-
terry.

Where are the blueberries that
used to come in about this time? The
answer comes from the BURBERRY fields
up north: The people from all over
the state are rushing into the berry
areas and doing their own picking.
Local pickers up there are having the
customers come directly to their front
door. If you want blueberries, you
will have to go where they grow and
pick them, or buy them.
The threshing is we'll under way in
this section. Most of the small grain
is cut and in the shock. Barley is run
ming very well, and oats is expected to
show good yield. The last six weeks
of dry weather has cut down the prob
able yield of potatoes, but the corn is
standing it we'll, though rain is now
needed. Pastures have suffered and
need a lot of moisture to pick up again.
Mr.. Doty, of the Doty & Walsh
truck service, drove to Oregon, ILL.,,
last Friday to bring home the street
fiusher bought by the city of Edgerton.
The city engineer and other city Of
ficials, also Mr. Menhall of the Trailer
company, went down to test the ma
chine before it was accepted. The de-
livery Is made at the factory and the
fusher had to be paid for upon deliv-
cry.
The Lotus flower, which the an
clients worshiped as the source of happy
forgetfulness and celestial bliss, grows
by the acre not more than miles from
Edgerton. Did you know it? A pond of
between three and four acres of this
wonderful flower stands now in perfect
bloom, and it is worth anybody's trouble
to go there and look at it. It is said
that the Lotus is found only in very
few places in this country, and Kosh-
konong has the distinction of being one
of them. The pond is located about
half mile east of Gravel store on the
right hand side of the road going east.

intelligent American knows that the
sentiment of ex-servlce men as n
whole is Overwhelmingly in favor of
adjusted compensation. They have
weighed the argument on both sides
and fully believe the measure to be
not only just and fair but consistent
with the welfare of the country as

Olympic Games viii Recall Ancient
Days When All Athletes Were
Fighting Men.

Until the Oxford Cambridge relay
team went to the Pennsylvania relay
carnival a short time ago and won the
mile relay race from some of the fleet
est teams in the United States, Amer
lean athletes looked upon the Olympic
games to be held at Antwerp ms being
designed more or less for their own
particular amusement. The victory OF
the English runners at Philadelphia
was something of n shock. and some
dopesters are willing to concede that
the Stars and Stripes may not after
all break tape first in all the events.
Contrary to general belief. there VIII

Many of these on form should he placed
high In the events. AthleteS-the ANA
teurs-travel at so fast n pace that
they do not remain at their top form
for long, but many of the ex-service
men still are leading in track and field.
We have, for instance, Pat Ryan,
former artilleryman, for the artillery
is an ideal branch for hammer
thrower. Pat is still the worlds cham
pon and the record holder. In the
Inter-Allied games in Paris year ago
he was only allowed to give an exhibit

operating war risk officers in every
state, thereby adjusting thousands of
compensation claims for dependents of
men who died or were disabled.
National headquarters alone. which
takes up only the most complicated
cases that cannot be handled by posts
or state headquarters, has settled in
dividual claims aggregating approx
mately S1.OOOOO0, between November
IL. 1919, and May Is, 1920.
The American Legion was conceived
in Paris, February Is, 1919, at q gath

in more than 5000 posts throughout
