on, according to a statement Fri
day by the county highway depart
ment.

COMPLAINT Among MOTORISTS
1t is common complaint among
motorists that the profusion of ad-
vertising posters and boards along
highways makes it as difficult to find
the official road directions among
the conglomeration of signs at high
way intersections as it is to find
the proverbial needle in the hay
stack.
Motorists sometimes have to stop
and study the signs before spotting
the official one; often blocking traffic
and irritating the motorists behind

Uttered conditions of the highways
because, in their estimation, the
signs detract from the beauty OF the
landscape and bring an air OF COM
mercialism to the country, where ii

The state law also prohibits sign
boards being erected in the thousand
foot triangle at the intersection Of
highways, as they block the. view OF
motorists approaching the crossings
and in the past have been the indi-
rect cause of accidents. The law
was passed in 1917.

MORE TOURISTS

The growing popularity of Wash
burns Free tourist camp site locat-
ed at Memorial Park on the lake
shore east of the city is attested to
by the ever growing list of tourists
who are making use of this popular
camp site, and each week sees the
number grow.
There is one essential necessity
at the park at this time in order to
provide for the convenience of the
campers and that is the sinking of a
well where the campers can obtain
their supply of drinking water Mr.
L. HI. Henderson, who resides near
the park, has a fine well, but on ac-
count of the water used his well is
not holding up and the necessity OF

WINS PRIZE AS
PERFECT BABY
DEMARS BABY CHOSEN FOR
THE STATE
Now to Contest for Entire
Northwest Territory. Con-
test Conducted by Chicago
Paper.

Margaret DeMars, age 2 years,
daughter of Mr.. ant Mrs. Fred De-
Mars of this city, has been selected
as the most perfect baby in the
State of Wisconsin in a contest con-
Quoted by the Chicago Herald-Ex-
aminer, and before this paper reach
es its readers may have been select
ed as the most perfect baby in the
Northwest.
Mr.. and Mrs. Demars were notified
on Tuesday to come at once to Chicago
to enter the baby in the final con-
test to determine the winner for the
Northwest, in competition against
other babies for the states of
Minnesota, Illinois, Minnesota and
they left for Chicago for the final
Judging of their baby.
For being the most perfect baby
in the state of Wisconsin the child
will receive an award Of $500 and if
she succeeds in winning in the final
contest will receive an additional
$1,000.
Margaret DeMars was born in
Washburn two years ago. Her
father is Fred DeMars, a railroad
man of this city, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed. DeMars, while the mother was
Miss Marry Cassidy of Odanah.
Naturally the parents and rela-
tives of the child are pleased over
the child's success in the contest
and all Washburn hopes to see little
Margaret capture the big prize.
Little Margaret is perfect baby,
well developed physically and men
tally and is a pretty child.

has been any attempt to increase the
use of this power perfect howl of
protest has gone up throughout the
country against "despoiling the
scenic beauty" Doubtless ninety
nine per cent, Of all these protests
are pure fiction, but they serve to
show that Niagara development has
about reached its maximum.
SMALL WATERPOWERS
The whole country is filled with
small waterpower rfssibilities. Ma
turally, the thought Of development
turns to high spots like Niagara.
The st. Lawrence River is a great
asset for the North America contin-
ent, but its power development is
not as easy matter to figure out,
since the river is not within our own
borders, In fact a good many Con-
gressmen and other officials are resi-
tant about going cross the border,
and tying up in matters that may
lead to international compilations
even though inestimable results may
be expected.
The annual jaunt of Thomas A.
Edison, Henry Ford, and Harvey s.
Firestone has been q matter of in
terest to the country, due to the fact
that President Harding joined the
group in Maryland. incidentally,
Mr.. Ford and Mr.. Edison may have
talked waterpower development to
the President. 1t will be recalled
that these men discussed In public
press the possibility of small water
powers on Pennsylvania farms for
light manufacturing purposes. They
gave it out as their opinion that
farmer might make parts for differ
ent manufacturers during the win
ter months and by the use of their
waterpowers promote small manu-
featuring ventures as the source of
additional profit. Henry Ford had
good deal to say along this line at
one time, and owners of Fords can
have visions of special nut factories
on Pennsylvania fatms !. ssRpplYing
their products to the Detroit insti-
tuition.
It was quite like President Hard
ing to find very much at home with
these distinguished campers, be-
cause he loves good plain folks, and
life under the open skies. President
Harding has adopted good many
people whose position in the social
and political world has been very
much in doubt during recent years.
The most notable acquisitions to this
circle were the militant suffragists.
The women who made life miserable
for President Wilson by picketing
the White House, are in high stand
ing with the present administration.
Colonel Harvey, American Minister
to Court of st. James, has been one
of the most spectacular as well as
unpopular of the additions to the
Presidents favored groups.
GRAIN SHIPMENTS BY
| THE GREAT LAKES
Immense grain shipments have
been going down the Great Lakes fol
years. The process is to take or
the cargos at Superior or Duluth
consigned to Buffalo, distance OF
$50 miles. At Buffalo these cargos
are sent 450 miles by rail Or barge
canal to New York where they are

again handled and the overseas ship
ments are dnloaded at New York and
sent to Liverpool 5000 miles away.
Thus the transportation cost on
grain is fifty cents per bushel. Those
who have studied the question say
that the savings in grain shipments
by an all-water route would amount
to nearly $15,000,000 year. The
residents of the Great Lakes assert
that this entire saving would go in
to the pockets of the farmers. Her
bert Hoover who is perhaps the
greatest authority on economic mat
ters in the country, and an expert
upon all matters which require the
training of an engineering mind,
says that the creation of water
ways all the way from the Great
Lakes to the sea by way Of the St.
Lawrence RiveF, would involve a.
rlesser expense than would be re-
quired In increasing our railroad
facilities to care adequately for our
marketing. The expense of a Deep
Waterways that would connect the
Great Lakes with the ocean would
be about one-half the cost Of the
Panama Canal.
POWER THE MAIN INCENTIVE
The most vital feature of the pro-
posed Deep Waterway project con-
Meeting the Great Lakes with the
ocean has apparently made the least
impression on the general public. 1t
concerns the development of power
1t has been estimated that the total
developable water power of the
Great Lakes drainage basin is 10,-
100000 horse power. The power
already developed within this area
is roughly calculated at 100000
horsepower in the United States and
100000 horsepower in Canada. The
question of development Of our ma
tural water powers is connected with
the possibilities of the extension Of
hydro-electric systems thereby utiliz-
ing the tremendous power, waiting
for its harness. The fact that over
25O projects have been filed with the
Federal Power Commission indicates
that the time has arrived when the
development of these resources is to
be pushed,
COAL FIRES VERSUS
HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER
Inasmuch as the railroads of the
country are spending nearly one
half their energies in the handling
and transporting coal, it seems
high time that such great economic
waste should be checked. Hydro
electric power can be transmitted
several hundred miles, and there no
longer seems to be any question
about using it for all practical pur-
poses anywhere within 200 or 25O
miles of its origin. Congressman
A. P. Nelson of Wisconsin, says that
if within ten years that major por-
ton of available horse power OF the
st. Lawrence could be utilized at
the present prices of coal, the total
cost of the entire project would be
saved in two years. He adds: "The
project of removing the st. Lawrence
barrier to give the Great Lakes ac-
cess to the sea is not an expendl-
ture to encourage navigation but an
investment in hydro-electric power
that promises to pay large divl-
dends."

Ed Plant suffered severe injury
last night while attempting to pull
the pinion gear off his "Chev" car

steel flew off and entered the artery
at his elbow, causing a great flow

cided not remove the steel as this
would necessitate big operation.

ject is logical part of the pro-
gram of industrial progress incident
to developing the water power re-
sources of the nation. The trans
sportation features Of this water
ways has been agitated since the
early nineties, on the theory that
unrestricted, commerce along the
Great Lakes would result in immea-
surable benefits to the northwest, in
cluding the wheat fields of Minnesota
and the Dakotas But it is quite
evident to those who have watched
the affairs of water shipments on the
Great Lakes that there has not been
any great gain in the extent Of its
commerce during the past quarter OF
century. There appears to be a
disposition on the part of shippers
to use the more convenient methods
supplied by the railroads, thereby
avoiding too much loading and un-
loading of cargoes. The Deep
Waterways proposition would con-
meet the entire northern part OF the
United States with the transporta-
ton systems of the world, and it is
perfectly reasonable to expect that
great commerce in grains and other
natural products would develop in
a remarkably short space of time.
However, the growth of shipping
on the Great Lakes has never aroused
very much enthusiasm in the public
mind, and Congress has been slow to
act, because of the doubts felt con-
cerning the expansion of all schemes
for using our inland waterways.
Therefore, it seems quite likely that
the possibilities for greater power
development must be looked to as
the incentive which will eventully
bring he desired development Of the
Great Lakes Waterways. Just as
long as Congress kept the water
power sources of the country under
lock and key, there was nothing left
to do except to haul coal and burn it.
But now that more liberal and sane
policy has been put into effect, there
is every reason to believe that a
new era in power development is at
hand. The tremendous schemes ne
cessary for financing WatergoWer
development have taken on new life
and as result the coal pile seems
destined to eventually give way to
the water wheel. In the west, there
have been many evidences showing
the feasibility of the extension of
water power in agricultural regions.
In the East the. principal concern is
to take care of manufacturing, light
ing and traction enterprises. The
whole thought is one of supplying
more power. Power has become SO
extensive with the constant use of
coal that many Of the large indus
tries in the East are finding the
problem more and more difficult to
bear. There has been an old dream
that great superpower projects
would utilize the natural resources
from the Andrescoggin to the James
River. At the present time some
of the great financiers of the coun-
try are interesting themselves in this
protector rather series of project
Of course, everyone Knows that
Niagara Falls and the Niagara River
have furnished great sources Of
power to the territory they have beer

statement to the patient public:
eve have been making not 100,
but 800 per cent profit for long

ther that, "This kind of business II

The point, however, OF whether
the panic would develope among the
masses who must have candy at any
price, or among the manufactures
