TRUCK ON FARM IS
GREAT TIME SAVER
Bad Roads Are Main Disad
vantage of Auto
Hauling

Below are some of the points made
In recent bulletin issued by the
United States department of agricui-
ture after census on farm motor
trucks in the East
Ninety per cent OF the 753 owners
whose answers to question were con-
sidercd. said that the greatest advan-
tase OF the truck was the saving OF
time.
F'ifty-nine per cent declared that bad
roads was the main disadv antage.
Seventeen per cent placed cost of op-
Grafton as the greatest disadvantage.
The one-ton truck Is the most popu-
lar.
The average distance from market
OF those answering the questions was
ten miles. Nearly twenty-five per cent
were twenty miles or more from mar
ket.
II requires thirty-fiyc to forty per
cent as long. on the average to make a
round trip to market with truck as
with a team.
Nearly two-thirds of those owning
trucks still used their horses to sup
p!ement their truck In road hauling.
Forty-five per cent of this number
gave poor roads as the reason for using
the horses.
Very few OF the mcr use their trucks
for hauling on the farm.
Some OF the owne.e nave found II
highly profitable to do some hauling for
their ncighbors when conditions per
mittcd.
The average dista-ce Travelled per
yeaf by these trucks was $500 miles.
over forty per cont of the trucks. or
the great majority, travelled between
1.25i and $3.50 miles The more truck
can he used the more profitable IL will
be. II was found that the dairy farm
ers found some use for their trucks
more days of the year tnar any other
class. or 24i days. Crop farmers used
their trucks tho fewcst number of days
or i?1 days.
The average life of all the trucks was
81 years.-Farm Life.

FOR UNKNOWN DEAD
Friday of This Week is Set
Aside AS National Holiday
President Sanctions it.

Friday, November IL, it to be
a national holiday. Congress has
so decreed. 1t applies only to
Armistice day this year and is in
honor of the unknown soldier at
Arlington cemetery. The tribute
to the unknown soldier dead is
a worthy one. America bows its
head in sorrow and in token of
love and respect for the brave
men who gave their lives that
the principles of democracy might
survive. 1t sets apart this day as
a special memorial to those who
went to unmarked graves.
1t is we'll that this has been
done. The war left aching hearts
in thousands of American homes.
To some of these homes it has
been given to known how and
where their sons and brothers and
sweethearts died. To some even
has been given the solace of bur-
ial where the graves may be
strewn with flowers by loving
hands. To many, however, these
things have been denied. The
sorrows of many have been multi
piled by the fact that their loved
ones have paid the supreme sac
rifice and must rest among the
unknown dead.
These are the men whom the
nation would do honor by setting
apart special day. 1t is a tri-
butte which these heroes, who
must rest in nameless graves have
richly earned. Let America pay
this tribute-let America bow its
head in sorrow and prayer for
them.-Stevens Point Journal.

Sheriff Rodd Hard Pushed.

There is one man in public of
flee in the state that certainly is
between two fires. That man is
Sheriff Hans Rodd of Rhineland-
er. If Rodd hadn't had the back
bone to stick to what he deemed
the proper course, he would have
been very much like the weasel
on a brush pile. Governor Blaine
ordered Rodd to release Peter
Christ; Judge Reid ordered Rodd
to hold him. There you are. From
the fat into the fire. But at that
the concensus of public and
Judicial opinion is that Sheriff
Rodd done just about the correct
thing in following the orders of
Judge Alexander Reid in holding
Christ until his sentence expired.
Now Rodd is slated for a walk
on the governors carpet at Madi-
son to show cause why he failed
to obey the mandates of the
states executive.

ELECTION TOMORROW
Village Will Vote the Placing
of Bond Issue for New
Generator and Water
Mains.

Polls will open tomorrow morn
ing at nine o'clock at
the village hall and close at
five IN the afternoon.
The purpose of this special
election Is for the bonding of the
village for a new generator at
the power plant. and for the lay
ing of needed water mains on the
west side of the track down the
county road.
Every property owner and resi-
dent IN the village is aware of
the necessity of this election car
rying. An extension of the wa
ter mains down the county road
Is an absolute necessity for the
protection of property in that
portion of the village. 1t is also
known that the addition of
new generator is a crying need in
order TO increase our electrical
production and safeguard the in
terests of the property owners in
case of fire during a breakdown.
That an auxiliary p ant is needed,
none can doubt. And that better
power and lights must be given
the user is also known.
Therefore a 1905 vote for the
bond issue is asked every man or
woman who is interested in the
and protection of
the villages best interests.

BEATS US ON SQUASH
Rusk County Claims Bigger
Vegetable Than We Ever
Produced.

Since Oneida county grabbed
the prize squash from Villas coun-
ty and has been exhibiting it as
their own, much controversy has
arisen as to who has ever pro-
duced the biggest vegetable. The
Ladysmith News-Budget digs back
twenty years and cleans us of all
honors in the following article:
THE Rhinelander Advancement
Association is feeling proud of a
big exhibition squash raised near
Vinegar. 1t weighs 81 pounds.
That is some squash"
But for squashes of extraor-
binary development the peculiar
quality of the Rusk county squash
es seems to be really unnecessary
in the telling"
Away back in 1902 an exhibit
ton of the products of the Rusk
county soil was made in the
Worden opera house, afterward
destroyed in the biggest fire
which ever afflicted Ladysmith.
At this show a squash weighing
1874 pounds was exhibited by Lud-
ger LaBerge who raised it on his
farm a short distance northeast
of Ladysmith. On account of the
difficulty of handling this enor-
nous vegetable. it required the
united efforts of four men to
carry it up the stairs to the ex-
hibition hall"
so far as we have ever heard,
no squash ever closely approached
the great LaBerge squash in
weight" -Ladysmith News-Bud-
