and progress Of Mott and Wood Co.
dealers in dairy products. They
started in a small way on the west
side about three years ago in small
building adjacent to the C. M. & ST.
Paul railway near the west side Mar
ket Square. They have grown in
magnitude and are now dealing in
large quantities in all three lines, but
ter, cheese and eggs. They have fac
tories at Grand Rapids, Nekoosa, Yes
per, Fisher, Rudolph and Junction City
They buy cream, eggs and milk from
radius of fifty miles and pay the
highest market prices for them.
Recently they increased their capital
stock to 100000 so that they could do
4 larger business and cover a larger
field. They purchased the Chambers
Livery property adjacent to their
property and have had a large crew
Of men for the past eight weeks re-
modelling the same so that they could
make it available and suitable for
their use. They now have it arranged
for their purposes with their mod
ern equipment so as to bette take
care of their business.
The enlarged factory is 66x12O feet

room on the left and salesroom on the
right Between. the two is the front
hall and stairway which leads to the
second floor where the company have
their offices and the egg department.
The receiving station for cream, milk
and eggs is on the south side of the
building. The switch track of the C.

end, where they load and unload in
carload lots. w

Fog signalling by radio from lighthouses

The adoption by mariners of a simple

The radio transmitting sets were in

off shore in Chesapeake Bay between the
Potomac River and Norfolk, Va. One was
at Smith Point. another at Windmill Point
and the third at Wolf Trap. All are miles
from land. It not being possible to walk
more than six feet in any direction on
these lighthouse sites, the difficulties faced
by the scientists VINO conducted the tests

ling were made during September and
October in cooperation with the Light
thouse Bureau. The results of scientific
laboratory study, verified by month OF
the most exhaustive practical tests In
lactual service, now bring the word that
the lighthouses may be made far more
potent in their protection to ships near
shore in dangerous waters by the sub
lstitution of the silent wireless message for
the shrek of the mighty fog horn or the
| llightninglilSe flash Of electric light. And
| this change, within q reasonable time, Is
considered likely.
Almost all the results obtained by the
long laboratory tests were realized in this
actual work. Calls from different lights
were easily picked up and distinguished
Directions Immediately were determined
and found to be correct. IT, however. was
noted that it was necessary to work at
shorter wave lengths than had been
planned. This was because the limited
space forbade the erection Of sufficiently
large apparatus. There were other draw
backs, due to the problems OF installa-
tion but these were overcome.
Two Of the three specially designed
transmission sets were OF the rotary gap
spark variety. These gave more salts

La large electron tube set. Ii Will interest

further in the belief that the

SEE NO PROSPECT OF
 REDUCTION IN STEEL

Steel men are strong in the opinon that no reduction in steel prices will be seen for long time. There has been some talk recently that the steel industry might make cuts, but this arises, apparently from those who have hopes of making purchases at lower level than now prevails. When it is remembered that freight rates have risen sharply and that the cost of manufacturing steel has in creased, it is clear that the present price level has been more firmly in trenched, and that there are not few who expect to see a raise in steel prices before the end of the year, to take up in part the increased cost as represented by the additional freight charge.
