Seeks Higher Pare On Maryland
Lines,

The Washington Railway and Electric
Company has applied to the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Maryland
Public Service Commission for an increase
in fares on its Maryland lines.
The increases asked for in Maryland are
intended to correspond with the new rates
of cents cash or four tickets for 80 cents,
which become effective in the District Of
Columbia May 1.
The company asks that the cash fare
for each zone in Maryland be increased
from to cents. For the first time. the
company asks for permission to accept in
Maryland the tickets used in the District.
The petition il granted. will increase the
cost Of communication books, containing
twenty-six round-trip tickets, as follows:
Rockville line To Alta Vista, from $4.48
to SSH per book; switch No. 4. from
$5.68 to $6.33; Montrose. $3.50 to 81. 81.
and Rockville, SSH to $8.76.
Forest Glen line-From SAT- to $3.50
per book.
Cabin John Bridge From 81. III to $3.50.
The company asked in its petition that
the increases be authorized before May
so that they could 90 into effect simulta-
neously with the new rates in Washington.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
refused the request to put the increases
into effect May because Of the short
notice that would be given the public.
The commission decided. however, to let
the present rates in Maryland continue in
effect until the increases are authorized.
II this action had not been taken the
old fare of cents would automatically
have returned in Maryland May 1.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
requires thirty days notice before in
creased rates are put into effect and dur
ing that period the commission hears pro-
tests from the commuters affected

The Vesper concern has purchased
a complete new, modern and sani-
tary creamery set of machinery which
they are installing in the new build
ing. A new churner and the other
equipment which is used in their
business being Of the latest pattern,
they say. The company mnaufac-
lures the Badger Brand Butter, and
while they have been manufacturing
it at Vesper they state that most of
their sales were in Wisconsin Rapids
and the creamery in this city will
be more convenient than having it
IN Vesper.
The new local concern has been
doing very successful business since
their organization creating cream
buying stations at Nekoosa, Rudolph
Vesper and Arpin, shipping the
cream III to the local creamery where
it is made into butter. Their pro-
duct is handled by most of the local
stores as well as merchants in neigh
boring cities. A retail sales room
viii be fitted up in the creamery
which will handle the local trade.

What kind of immigrants are COM

What kind of immigrants are COM
ing? Why are they coming? From
what countries are they coming?
Returning travellers say that the
entire population of~Poland is ready
to emigrate to America, that Italians
and Greeks and Spaniards and Jugo-
Slavs, Czechs and Ruthenians and Slo-
walks are all looking once more to this
country as a Promised Land, where
wages are high and where work is
plentiful, where taxes are low and food
abundant, where there is neither OPP
preston, nor war nor revolution.
The majority of the men and wom-
en- questioned were Italians, as are the
majority Of the immigrants who are
arriving here today. Most Of them
are laborers, and they are compelled
to come here for economic reasons;
they hear that conditions in the Unit
ed States are better and wages higher.
Political reasons, pogroms, persecu-
lion, play a part in sending to this
country many immigrants from cen
trail and eastern Europe.

CARE TN. T..

A word of advice relative to the
TINT that will be held in storage this
winter in Wood county may be of
value at this time. Requests have
come into my Office regarding the
storage precautions in connection with
TINT. According to the advice of
John Swenehart, who has charge of
the Land Clearing Work with the Col
lege of Agriculture, we may offer the
following.
TINT will not freeze inasmuch as it
is not a liquid substance. 1t can be
left in cold place all winter. The
only requirement is that it be kept
dry. If the box is left on the ground
or under the stump covered with tar
paper, moisture is bound to be absorb
ed. No danger need be felt in connec-
ton with storing it around the build
ings. A root house or a cellar is not a
good place to store is because there is
usually more or less of moisture and
dampness about these places.
The rules that have to do with the
storage of TINT, mainly that of keep
ing dry, are of even greater import
ance in the storage Of dynamite If
you are keeping the dynamite or TINT
over winter, store it in dry place.

FOR
WISCONSIN
HIGHWAYS

George Gruenisen and William Noe,
of Oshkosh who recently completed
trip to Youngstown, O., had this to
say to Highway Commissioner James
Binning regarding Wisconpin roads
and those of other states:
GAS soon as we left Wisconsin, we,
encountered poor roads and also
found that they were poorly marked.
The Wisconsin system of marking
highways is much superior to that of
other states for in spite of the fact
that we purchased road maps for
every state we passed through, with
the exception of Illinois, we found it
exceedingly difficult to find our way.
In our opinion, a geography map
would have served the purpose as
we'll as those maps did.
'On the whole, the roads outside
Wisconsin were rough and made
driving dangerous and unpleasant,
and in many cases were so narrow it
was impossible for two cars to pass
without one tipping into the ditch.
Take our word for it, that Wisconsin
has them all backed off the map
when it-comes to roads and systems
of highway marking. Of course in
few remote instances we did find
fairly good roads. Illinois had
few of them, and in Ohio we found
some concrete. But Wisconsin has
them all beat, even to the dirt
roads,"
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1920-12-02
THOUSANDS Of
immigrants
ARRIVING

Road builders are interested in the
condition of the labor market. Dur
ing the war labor was drafted for
war purposes-in the army, the navy,
the farms and factories. Another fac
tor tending to common labor scarcity
was the lack of immigration into this
country. During the war many for
eigners returned to their native lands
to help fight the war. Immediately
at the close of war there was a rush
of foreign born to Europe to visit
their old homes and look up their
friends and relatives.
The reaction has set in. There is
a tremendous tide of immigration to
this country. It is a common occur
renee for 5000 people to land at Ellis
Island.
Lack of shipping prevents pre-war
records from being smashed, officials
say, for each new week sees new
high mark for the period since 1914.

BANKERS
FAvORFEDERAL
AID PLAN

Another factor showing the trend of
events is found in the resolutions a.
dopted at the recent meeting of the
American Bankers Association at
Washington, D. c. They adopted re-
solutions recommending the continu-
ance Of the federal aid plan, as fol-
lows:
''The association favors the present
arrangement of cooperation between
the Federal and State Governments in
the construction of national highways
as the best system available, consid-
ers that fve-year building program
for the national highways will prove
most satisfactory, adequate appro-
oriations being made. We favor such
Federal assistance as is possible to-
ward the continued reclamation of ir-
rigable arid lands"

A SHARP RETORT

The oldest story is the one about
the boy who left the farm and got
job in the city. He wrote letter to
his brother, who elected to stick by
the farm, telling Of the joys of city
life, in which he said:
Thursday we motored out to the
country club, where we golfed until
dark. Then we motored to the beach
and Fridayed there"
The brother on the farm wrote back:
Sunday we fivvered to town and
baseballed all afternoon. Then we
went to Hanks and pokered till morn
ing. Yesterday we muled out to the
cornfeld and gehawed until shutdown.
Then we suppered, and afterwards
piped for a while. Finally we stair
cased up to our rooms and bersteaded
