Bank.
Douglas Wood. who has been at

ly i'll the latter part of last week and
was taken to the James Ogden home.

The Stoughton- Edgerton basket
ball game was permitted in the high
school building Monday evening. An
officer was present to see that no
crowding took place in the galleries.
The game was double header, the
Edgerton teams winning hands down.
The city board of health met last
Monday afternoon and took measures
to check the spread of flu and pneu-
monia contagion which has also made
itself felt in Edgerton. While there is
no reason to feel panicky about the sit
uation, there is every reason to exer-
else care in preventing the disease
from spreading through the careless
ness of people. The board of health
ordered that the seating in the motion
picture theater should be done so as to
leave every other seat unoccupied. In
pool halls and refreshment parlors pa
irons should be served, but customers
are not allowed to remain lettering af-
ter having been waited on. Crowds
should be avoided, gatherings and So
cial functions bringing many people to-
gether in halls or private homes, re-
Trained from for the time being. The
schools are closed until further orders,
bat there is no ban upon church SER
vices, though common sense would die
tate that crowding there should also
be avoided. By living no to these
common sense regulations which will in
no way hinder regular transaction of
business, it is hoped that matters will
mend and more stringent precautions
be made unnecessary.

The General Cigar Co. has adopted a
plan whereby every member of the
company's workers may become a
shareholder, sharing in the profit and
loss of the company.
Pipe smokers will be glad to hear
that amber is again coming into the U.

A meeting of the leaf tobacco deal
ers of Edgerton was held at the Office
of the Chamber of Commerce Saturday
evening at which about fifteen local
firms were represented. The object
'of the meeting was to organize a leaf
tobacco dealers association of Wiscon-
sin. Andrew Mcintosh of the firm of
McIntoh Bros, was appointed tenn
porary chairman, and Oscar johnson,
weo represents C. Fl. Spitzner in the
state, and w. Dickinson were appoint
ed temporary directors to assist in
framing bylaws which will be pre-
sented to meeting at later date.
Wisconsin has long been recognized as
tobacco state and the dealers through
out the state will undoubtedly sanction
such an organization, and as Edgerton
is by far the largest packing point in
the state this is the logical location for
headquarters of this kind of an orga-
nization. The local branch of the or
ganization will affiliate with with the
Edgerton Chamber of Commerce and
w. B. Doty, secretary, will act as
temporary chairman of the Tobacco
Dealers Association. The name of the
new organization is to be determined
upon by the temporary officers and will
be adopted at the next meeting which
will be called in q short time.
A sorting and packing house has
been established at Ferryville, and a
goodly portion of the weed grown along
the river section will be handled there.
Eventually every little town and ham
let where railroad facilities can be Sc
cured will be thus utilized. Help must
bessecured outside of the larger towns.

FORD SLASHES
AUTO PRICES
Cut of $142 on Cars is Announced
Today in What Maker Says is
Move to Cut Cost
of Living.

United Press Leased Wire Service.
DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 21.-Henry
Ford today announced that prices on
all models of his automobiles have
been reduced on an average of S142
a car, bringing them practically to
pre-war prices. The Ford company
has $4,000 untitled orders.
In making the announcement Ford
said lack of materials which are
stored in many parts Of the country
is impeding production and that a
slashing of prices is the only way
these materials can be forced on the
market and pre-war conditions
brought about.
The new prices are effective i'm
mediately.
High prices impede progress" de-
clared Ford, "and it Is time we got
back to a pre-war basis The war
is over. Prices must come down"
Wages at the Ford plant will not
be affected by the new car prices.
Ford said industry has suffered as
seldom before as a result Of storing
Of finished products and raw ma
terials.
The price cut made by the Ford
company today will affect prices of
other cars, according to prominent
automobile men Of Detroit. They
feel the competition will force other
manufacturers to cut retail prices.

To Regain a Healthy,
Giriish Complexion

If you would have clear, fresh
girlish complexion, one ounce of ordi
nary mercolized wax will aid you in
this direction more than shelves full
OF cosmetics. 1t produces a natural
beauty. This wax, procurable at any
drugstore, completely absorbs bad
complexion, revealing the healthy
young skin underneath. It's work is
done SO gradually. day by day, that
no inconvenience is caused. The wax
is applied at night, like cold cream
and removed in the morning with
soap and water.
Another valuable rejuvenatins
treatment-this for wrinlles-is q
battle your face in a solution Of pow
dered saxolite, one ounce, dissolved
in a half pint of witch hazel This
has a remarkable action in smooth
ing out the lines and "firming up
the loose tissue.
