and finally assumed what his part- sans characterized as the moral lead | ership of the world.
 During the diplomatic correspond ence with Germany he displayed | many homely human emotions. On May 7, 1915, when Mir. Wilson heard the news of the sinking of the Lusitania, he was almost at the end of his patience. Like a man making a last effort to avoid a quarrel with a wife who has just laid on the last straw, he cla,pped on his hat and went out and walked around the block. He knew how to give vent to his emotions
 on other occasions and has been known to say something stronger
 than the 'tut-tut" which has been ac- credited to him on having made faux pas at golf. However cold and austere he may have been accounted in his dealings with public men, those
 who have been privileged to view his family life from the inside of the circle testify that he is intensely hu-
 man.
 What part he may take in public
 affairs in the future, living as he will
 almost under the shadow of the dome of the Capitol, is causing lively specu-
 lation. So far as the records show
 no other president has remained in
 Washingto after going out of office.
 MT. Wilson first intended to live in
 Baltimore. He and the present Mrs.
 Wilson settled it, by playing a game the president invented during an idle hour the steamer GeOfSe washing ton on one of the trips to and from the peace conference. It was a game of percentages with certain scores al-
 lotted to the various advantages or
 amusements of life of which both were most fond. Baltimore, as the game worked out, had the highest total. But breakdown and continued illness intervened and it was decided to remain in WaShintgon, where al- most all of Mrs. Wilson's family re- side.
 The new home, bought recently, is on an elevation in the northwest resi- denecev section not far from a site long held by the Imperial German gov- 'ernment for embassy. MT. Wilson ex- poets to spend the future almost on the spot where the Kaiser expected his ambassador to sit.
 Because of the secrecy which has been thrown around his physical con dition, the country is probably most interested in that just now. MT. Will son is convalescent-so far as nature permits-from what medically is called thrombosis-a blood clot in one of the arteries on the right side of his brain which iInpairs the motor nerves in the left arm and leg. He can walk short distances alone with the aid Of a cane; longer distances require the use of a wheel chair. Walking up and down stairs is a. precarious exper- fment seldom attempted.

Once, in the midst of his seize of
 prostration which accompanied the ;debated with himself whether he ought not to relinquish his office and give way to a, successor. Later when health had improved and the Dem ocratic convention at San Francisco was ba1loting night and day to agree , on a Presid dentia1 nominee, MT. Will son debated with himself whether he should he a candidate for a third either subject reached the stage of i being considered" But it is known that MT. Wilson gave the subjects some thought. !fhe highly interesting unwritten chap i ters of Woodrow Wilson's life. They wo1ld make volume of far more expressing reading than anything 1 that ever had been written about EiTe1.
 Euch a volun-e might include the ''inside'' story of the break with Colonel House, his former confiden- tia1 advisor; it might tell how Mir. Wilson rouSing MT. CIemenceau, the French premier, from bed at 7 o'clock one morning. practically charged the French delegates with : tamperipg with the records of the peace conference proceedings.
 It might tell how MT. Wilson made up his mind to E'fire'' some other Cabinet officers soon after the resIS- nation of Secretary Lansing put 0e- sisted, because, he said, it would only add to the popular impression that he couldn't get along with any
 body"
 It might also tell what MT. Will [ son "said with a smile'' to Lloyd George concerning the relative : strengths of the British and American navies, and it might disclose that Mir. Wilson went to the peace confer cnce prepared to withdraw, as he threatened to do, in its midst.
 All these things, however, if they do become public, probably will do so by the pen of the historian after Woodrow Wilson ihas been assigned to his proper niche in the wall of history. While the principal actors in that series of dramas live, all these things are likely to remain behind the scenes. MT. Wilson's retirement to private life is not likely to release them for public consumption.
 Until the beginning of the world war Mir. Wilson held the attention of thet country with his swift strokes at getting legislation from Congress. With the coming of the war he de- voted the last two years of his first term to an attempt to keep the United States out of the conflict, and as the seemingly inevitable drift toward war set in, he gradually assumed the di- plonfatic leadership of the nations ar rayed against Germany and her allies,

Questions
and Answers

$500. This means that there is a NET PROFIT
to the " Krefl Company of approximately 1856
on each and every set they sell.
Second comes the rate of production. The v
Krefl Company factory at Eagle River will be
equipped to turn out fifty sets of Shock Absorbers
each day However the production at the start will
be only twenty-fi sets per day. Say twenty-five
sets per day with an approximate net profit of
$755 on each set Three hundred working days in
the year Figure the profit and then even cut it
in half or divide it by ten and still see the profit.
Third comes the market. Some have the idea
that this is going to be the "stcker." Well, folks
all that have to say is that it isn't. Just figure
the possibilities for yourself These Victor Shock
Absorbers that we are going to manufacture here
in Eagle River, will fit without adjustment the
following automobiles: Hudson, Essex, Nash Six,
Nash Four, Oldsmobile, WHY'S knight, Hupmo-
bile, Cleveland, Lexington, Studebaker, REQ, Oak
land, Paige, Maxwell, Chalmers, Buick Four The
average daily production of the above named
makes of automobiles is one thousand and fifty
GO5O) cars per day and there are already at the
present time well over one million of these makes
in use. Remember that our maximum production
to start is fifty sets of shock absorbers per day
That the Victor Shock Absorber has been pro-
nounced by experts to be the best article Of its
kind on the market. That the Victor Shock Alb
sorber is wonderful three-in-one combination:
Shock Absorber, Snubber and Bumper all in one
and all for S25. That we have the whole United
States for a sales territory. Now do you think
that we can sell them?

TIONS THAT ARE BEING ASKED ABOUT THE
v. KREFL COMPANY WHICH is NOW BUILD
ING A FACTORY AT EAGLE RIVER.
WHO is " KREFL and HOW DID HE
HAPPEN TO LOCATE IN EAGLE RIVER?
Victor Krefl, is the inventor of the Victor
Shock Absorbers He was previously in the garage
business in Two Rivers Wisconsin. About six
months ago he sold his garage business and de-
cided to go in to the manufacture of his Shock Alb
sorber Among few of his friends Mr.. Krefl was
able to raise about $1,000 and with this money
they equipped small factory building. With this
small amount of capital the production was neces-
sariy limited to two or three sets per day Orders
began to come in, and the little company un-
able to supply the ORDERS in fact the entire produc
ton was spoken for by the residents of Two
Rivers for weeks in advance Mr. Krefl realized
that the only solution was to secure capital and
build factory large enough to build shock absor-
bers in quantity that would interest the jobber
and distributor. He spoke of this to friend, B. w.
Sohr of Rhineander and Mr.. Sohr Immediately
got in communication with his home town in an
effort to get Mr. Krefl to locate there The result
was that Rhinelander offered the free use of an
old brewery building factory and guaranteed
sufficient capital to see it through. Mr.. Sohr was
last summer making the final arrangements to
have the Krefl factory locate there when he met
some old friends from Eagle River. He told them
what he was doing and the boosters from Eagle
River insisted that he come to Eagle River and
give them chance at the new factory. He finally
consented A meeting was called in Eagle River
upon the arrival of the party here and the people
were all so enthusiastic about the plan and all
promised such loyal support and cooperation that
after sending delegation of Eagle River men to
Two Rivers, Mr.. Krefl was persuaded by these
hearty promises of cooperation and ready capital
to move his factory to this city. Understand that
there was no effort made by Mr. Krefl to secure
capital in Two Rivers elsewhere with the excep-
ton of Rhinelander and Eagle River. The attitude
of Two Rivers people is apty expressed in the Two
Rivers REPORTER of September 22nd which
states among other things that ut is too bad that
the people of Two Rivers let Mr. Kref move away.
His Victor Shock Absorbers are in great demand
and there is no question but what the future of
his business is assured"
