Peter Barton, nominally a prisoner
at the county Jail, is the county's
handy man.

of six months in Jail for violating the

provision accompanied it, and since

worker. of versatile talents.
Peter can fill in most any where,
from kitchen maid to farm hand, and

he is probably the only husband, who
as a prisoner, has been hired out to
his own wife for wages. During har-

To cope with the wave of crime now

DIVISIONS MAY
BE SHORTENED
Ladysmith May Be Terminus of
Second Freight Division
of 500 Line

The acquisition by the 500 Line of
the Wisconsin & Northern road, which
connects the 500 Line at Menasha
with the 500 Line at ArgOnne, former
~ North CrandOn, will have the effect
of decreasing the amount Of business
done on the freight section between
WeyerhaeuSer and Rhinelander, and
the consequent discharge or removal
of some of the railroad employees from
this section, as it is asserted that the
present employees on the Wisconsin y
Northern road will be retained, in the
opinion of a 500 Line employee on this
section.
Divisions Shortened.
1t is the opinion, also, of this en-
ploye, that Ladysmith is to be made
a double freight terminal and that a
round house will be built here in the
near future, and that, under the eight
hour day law for railroad employees
and the diSinclinatiOn of the railroad
company to pay extra for "overtimc,"
the freight divisions will be short
ened. The road between Minneapolis
and Ladysmith may be made two
divisions, with Amery the terminus
of the first and Ladysmith the termi-
nus of the second.
For obvious reasons, railroad com
panies do not give out advance infor-
nation on matters like the above, and

the various pastors who reviewed

recalled his diligence. faithfulness,
and above all his bravery in facing
moral issues and fighting for the
right as he saw 1t. Each speaker
wished DIR. Gruver God-speed and
hope that he might be as useful
in his new work as he was in Mar
tinsburg The pastors were follow
ed by laymen from the several
churches, who have had an oppor-

during entire pastorate.
DR.. Gruyer, in turn, made a brief
talk IN which he thanked each and
every one for the many kind feel
ings expressed aud assured them Of
his appreciation. and stated that he
had gotten as much good from his
work in Martinsburg as Martins
burg had received from his pasto-
ate.
The music was unusually spirited

GREASY NEALE IS
Concentrating FOR
GAME With BUCKNElL
Strengthening Up Offensive
To Get Every Man In Play.

Washington. Pa, Sept. 29.-Coach
Greasy" Neale, of Washington &
Jefferson is concentrating this week
ii preparation for Bucknell on the
interference of his backfeld. While
the Presidents pulled out over Beth
any with 1910 victory, the fact re-
mains that the result was due more
to individual prowess than to con-
certed unity of action and team
work. This was to have been ex-
pected in an opening game. But
Neale, having gotten a rather good
line on the ability and calibre of his
men, is ready to build up his Of
fensive along lines that will get
every man into the play and give
mis- attack precision that it could
not hope to have in the opening
clash.
Most OF the cripples who were
"bunged up" in the game with Beth
any are expected to be able to re-
port for practice this afternoon.
None of the men was seriously hurt,
but several have muscle bruises and
charley horses that required
rest.
Neales offense is recognized as
his greatest defense. He holds the
same view as Yost, of Michigan,
that the best defense is a strong
defense. Pop" Warner, of Pitt is
of much the same opinion. the "Old
Fox" insisting that his aim is to
score two touchdowns to the other
fellows one; and admits that his
team can usually be scored upon.
But at the same time all these
coaches de not ignore the defense.
The Red and Black line resistance
Saturday, at times was good, but
the secondary defense was not up
to standard. So Neale is endeavor-
ing to build up the latter as well
as to improve his general offensive
unity. Especial attention is also
being given this week to an i'm
provement in the defense for the
man catching punts, Erickson hav-
ing been almost unprotected in the
