comes to Polls Theater Tuesday,
will add laurels to his crown.
Hugo Reisenfeld came to this
country from Europe some twelve
years ago, after having been con-

houses there, and having played be-
fore the crowned heads of Europe.
He was concert master at the Man
haitian Opera House when 1t was
the home of Hammerstein opera.
When the Rialto Theater was built
on the site OF the old Hammerstein
Victoria, Hugo Reisenfeld was
chosen as musical director of the
big motion picture house, which
was the biggest in New York at the

Mr.. Reisenfeld was the first man

GUERNSEY
BREEDERS
Meeting

Dear Sirs:-The annual meeting of
the Wood County Guernsey Breeders
Association was held at Vesper, Wis
consin, on Thursday, January 8. Be-
tween 5 and 20 members were pres
ent After the usual routine business
finished two important matters were
taken up The first was the bringing
in and distributing of pure bred heif-
ers and cows. Financial arrange
ments were made and thirty-fve heif-
ers and cows were ordered by those
present, and w. w. Clark, County
Agent, and Albert Paulson were ap-
pointed to go to buy them. 1t is
known that at least another carload
can be placed and these will probably
be brought in as soon as the present
shipment is distributed.
+ The second matter considered was
the second annual consignment sale
to be held at Marshfield. After dis
cussion it was decided to hold the sale
in the pavilion at Marshfeld, on Sat
urday, May Is, two days after the
American Guernsey Cattle Club Sale
at Chicago. We hope to offer 100
head Of high class Guernseys at this
sale A good part of this number are
already pledged. Everything offered
will be inspected and approved and
only first class individuals will be put
4 into the SALE Particulars of the sale
will be announced from time to time.
/ The pavilion will be greatly improv-
ed before the sale. About 5000 were
lately appropriated for this purpose.
! The space over the cattle will be floor
ed over and closed off from the arena,
thus cutting off the noise that has been
so annoying at previous sales. Other
improvements also will be made.
This will be the greatest sale ever
held in this section of Wisconsin.

bers are commencing to make their
appearance on Grand Rapids cars.
The new numbers have maroon or
wine colored back ground with the
raised letters in white. According
to the instructions which are sent out
from the office of the Secretary of
State at Madison with the license
numbers, they must be attached to
the front and the rear of the vehicle
in plain sight and the owners of the
car must keep them in clean and
legible condition. Motorists selling
a car during the season should retain
the numbers, and transfer the license
to any new car they may purchase by
the payment of the same sum.
Sheriff C. w. Bluett states that the
license tags this year were manufact-
ured by the state at Waupun prison

ANNUAL MEETING WOOD
COUNTY NATIONAL BANK

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Wood County Nation
al Bank was held in its banking rooms
on Tuesday evening, January 18th.
The stock was well represented and
the reports of the officers showed the
banks affairs to be in splendid condi-
tion with healthy growth in its bu-
siness.
The former Board of Directors were
reelected with the exception of Mr..
J. B. Arpin, who had presented his
resignation at previous directors
meeting. Mr.. Arpin's business inter-
ests have become so extensive in the
South that he finds it necessary to be
away much of the time, which accounts
for his desire to be released from the
board
He has been a valuable member of
the board Of directors for many years
and his resignation was received with
much regret.
Mr.. Otto R. Roenius was elected to
fill the vacancy and the bank consid-
ers itself fortunate in securing so
worthy a successor and so valuable an
addition to the board.
Mr.. Roenius needs no introduction
to the people of Grand Rapids and this
vicinity, as he is well and favorably
known
He has been very successful in
building up a large and profitable bu-
siness for the Grand Rapids Foundry
Co., and the American Carbonic Ma
chinery Co., being General Manager
and a large stakeholder in both con-
Germs.
The present Board of the Wood
County National Bank consists of l..
NJ, Alexander, F.. j. Wood, A. E. Ben
nett, q. Roenius, I. E. Mullen, L. Z.
Nash, Judson c. Rosebush, Otto R.
Roenius and Guy o. Babcock.
The officers reelected at this meet
ing are F. j. Wood, President; L. M.
Alexander, Vice President; Guy O.
Babcock, Cashier, and E. C. Wittg,
Assistant Cashier.

NEW POSTOFFICE BUILDING

There is no use of talking about
Congress passing the Omnibus Bill at
this session of congress. Both parties
are playing politics and while they are
doing that-to HI with business.
Congressman Browne has introduc-
ed a bill for postotfice government
building for Grand Rapids, because
we need one. If good committee of
three should go down there armed with
the necessary facts showing the need
for one and that badly, they could
probably do something. No one is
going to get anything from congress
while they are playing politics unless
it is absolutely necessity, as this is
Good business demands it.

GETTING READY
I'll TACKLE BIG
HIGHWAY JOB
nv

/
County Highway Commissioner Ed
ward Morris, formerly of Arpin, but
now residing in Grand Rapids, who as
sumed office on January 5th, is plan
ming a huge drive sn the road work
throughout the county as soon as the
weather will permit. He is familiar
with the highway needs of the county,
and succeeds Louis Amundson. under
whom he worked several years.
81 have not been here long enough
to anymore than get settled" he said,
'and have not. decided yet just where
We will tackle the job. That will
come later"
Mr.. Morris, accompanied by George
W. Brown, recently were in Chicago,
where they purchased a huge road
crane for loading and unloading ma
terial from cars. The machine, known
as the Little Giant Road Crane" is
manufactured by the Locomotive
Crane company in Chicago, and with
It's aid one man can unload from ten
to fifteen ears of rock, sand, or other
loose material in days time. The
machine is mounted on trucks, and
operated by stationary engine and
the material is handled by a huge clam
shell bucket.
Used Here First.
Mr.. Morris stated that several ma
chimes were inspected but the one Sc
lected seemed to be the best for the
work. The machine will probably be
first used in this city to unload ma
5erial for the portion of the new high
way to Marshfield lying inside the city
limits. It cost $4,000, Mr.. Morris
states, and will be shipped here with
in a few days.
Along the new paved highway,
number of new unloading tracks are
to be installed. One will be at the
Five Corners Creamery, one at Arpin,
and another near Marshfield, south of
the experimental station. BY unload
ing at these points a minimum haul
ing distance will be secured.
May Use -Guage.
1t is estimated that as many as 100
teams will be employed, but Mr. Nor
ris stated that it may save expense
to use a narrow guage track along
side the road to transport material
on. This method of transportation
was used with signal success by the
American Army in France and is said
to be better and less expensive than
teams.
AS vet no contracts have been let on
the county roads, although other coun-
ties have done so.
