WRITES AGAINST WIDE SLEIGH
Willard Getter Gives Reason for Re-
tanning Narrow Ones

Editor Censor: - The opinion of
some that the people can't get along
with the narrow sleigh the same as
they have the past century is wrong.
Most people who favor the wide one
are looking for job. If this was in
its infancy it would not be so bad but
how many sleighs are there in Wis
consin? Do we have to throw them
all away and buy new ones at present
prices Just because some official says
so, or give some mechanic a fabulous
price to remodel the old one? / think
that is the reason Mr.. Groh is in for
it and think he has a shop and does re-
pair work, fixing implements and cars.
The narrow sleigh packs the road for
the poor horses that have to pull the
heavy loads. When we go out to open
roads after a blizzard we would have
to shovel them twice as wide, and
some places where they could drive
through with a team and narrow
sleigh, where they could not draga
bunglesome wide one.
Wisconsin farmers do their hauling
in the winter-grain, stock, and wood
and feed to grind-and they like to
have a good road to do it on. What
could a car do turning out to give
loaded team the track. December 2I
was coming home from town and
down Bishop Branch just above the
Cook school house is a road gang and
they had just pulled a fellow out, and
he was writing out check to pay the
bill. He pulled out to pass a team
and the car slid out in the gutter and
could not get back 1t had kicked the
snow all off to the ground. / have
car and it belongs in the garage when
there is sleighing. When Christopher
Columbus discovered America he dis
covered a fine country There are
parts of it where they can use sleighs,
and there are parts where they have to
use wheels all the time, and that is
the place for the ones who want to run
cars all the time. We can spare them
all right. Are the users of sleighs
going to stand all the waste of timber
and thousands of dollars expense Just
to please a few.
Yours truly,
WILLARD GETTER, Viroqua.

merely made it safer for America to
join.
Senator Knox said that although
America probably would secure practi-

without ratifying the treaty Of Ver-
sailles, a supplemental treaty with
Germany should be concluded.
There was full attendance of SEN
