SEEK BLACKMAIL CLEW
IN FARM DEATH QUIZ

UNITY, Wis.-MarathOn county Off
Gals Friday were attempting to I'M
cover further clews indicating that
were involved in puZzling circum-
stances surrounding the death of
Charles Rindquist, wealthy Spencer
farmer whose charred body was
found in the blackened ruins of his
home south of here.
Sheriff Fred Schroeder and Dist.
Atty. A. w. Krahn are conducting an
investigation in the belief that Rind-
quist may have been slain in his bed
and the home set on fire to wipe out
evidences of the murder. Belief that
the farmer was threatened, presum-
ably by blackmailers, is strengthened
by the fact that he had slept for the
last three weeks at the home OF a
brother, Gust, mile away.
A suicide theory is also under con-
sideration, following statements by
neighbors that Rindquist had been
acting strangely the last several
weeks and appeared respondent.
1t was learned late Thursday that
Anton Rindquist, brother, who left
Unity for Milwaukee several hours
before the fire, is in Chicago, where
he is seeking employment. He was
expected to return here Friday.
Report on an examination of the
charred body of the recluse will be
made by physicians at the coroner's
inquest today

QUALITY RIDGE

The town board met at the Hale
Corners first of last week and let the
contract for a new culvert.
The family of Carl Pffer, from
Madison, were spending the first part
of the week at the parental home of
his wife, Hal Smith.
Sorry to mention the news of the
illness of Mrs. George Tronoski of
Bloomington (nee Bertha Smith, who
is very low.
Ridge, made trip through the mud
the first of the week to Lancaster.
Thirty-eight and Thirty-nine met
the middle of the week and attended
chow together for the first time this
season.
Dad and Ma came rambling down
the Ridge one day last week in the
Sampson truck. Dad went on to the
Hub while Ma picked a few berries.
The seventeen year locust is surely
putting in good time making more
noise than the once famous Jazz band.
We see he has abandoned the letter
"W' and is wearing "N'. Clark says
that stands for neutral, no war and
no peace.
Adolph Wenzel made a flying trip
to Lancaster Saturday He was ac-
companied by two women, one looked
like his wife.
Gladys Ball moved all her baggage
to the Ameil Pagenkopf home Mon
day.
Arthur Hamer has been down at the
old home picking cherries and straw
berries the last few days.
Jim Garthwaite has nearly finished
haying. Frank Webb is helping. Jim
will be ready to start threshing about
the first of July. There are about
seven members in the company and
nearly all some relation. A man who
isn't related to that bunch had better
sell out before he is froze out.
Albert Krohn and family were
callers on the Ridge Sunday.
Louis Wilkerson from Mt. Hope,
came through these parts Sunday.
Louis knows good roads.
Walter Griswold and family took
dinner with their daughter, Mrs. Sam
Walsh Sunday.
Next Sunday will be church and
Sunday school and don't forget Rev.
Weyhrauch will be there.
Some are talking church every Sun
day. Sunday school at 1870 and
church services at 2:30. Come, we'll
fill the church.
Uncle Ed. and Shorty and families
made trip to the Hub Saturday
evening.
The Hayden bunch heard Billy
Bryan at Bloomington Saturday.
Quality Ridge sure was busy with
cars Sunday going and coming all
day.
The cotton woods let loose their
snowy coat last week. We wondered
if it didn't look something like
Grandmas cotton field.
George Addison and family were at
the Hub Sunday.

MOTOR ROADS WINDING
THROUGH VIRGIN FOREST

MADISON, 'Wis-Here and there
the Wisconsin highway system skirts
or penetrates the remnants of the
great virgin forest that once covered
the state. These refugees Of nature
are not now very extensive, and not
all are accessible by auto route, but
those that can be reached offer most
delightful drives to the traveller. Not
only are they of great beauty and in
terest, but they afford most pleasant
relaxation on a bright, warm summer
day.
The nature lover seeks them out,
and fingers under the shade of foliage
or pine canopy. They bring a rest
full enjoyment, not experienced in any
other way.
Virgin Timber.
Perhaps the nearest extensive
woodland stretch is in the Menominee
Indian reservation, on highway AZ, be-
tween Keshena and Neopit. Here is
a stretch of % miles of forest, broken
in spots, but nearly all virgin timber.
Keshena falls and the Indian settle
ment and school are other interesting
points on this route.
Highway SO, above Argonne, to
Alvin and the state line penetrates a
| hardwood forest, mostly of birch and
hemlock. On IA, between Laona and
Florence, is another hardwood forest
Above Drummond, on route "a, the
great white pine and Norway forest
is making its last stand. The road
here traverses about eight miles of
woods never touched by the ak, a
beautiful reminder of the landscape
that welcomed the pioneer half cen
fury ago. County trunk line A, Drum
nond to Barnes, thence to Iron River,
penetrates other pine lands.
A Tangled Covering.
The road from Crandon to Eagle
River, route 81, cuts through the
state game refuge, tangled covering
of hemlock and hardwoods. On this
route are number of trout streams.
1t also leads to the heart of the resort
country.
Another white pine region is ac-
cessible on route 70, between Draper
and Fifeld. This is in the Northern
Lakes park region, which is easily
accessible from this vicinity.
A type of the forest that once COW
cred southern Wisconsin remains in
the Devils Lake park, at the Baraboo
entrance.
Several extensive areas are in re-
gions in the north adjacent to state
highways, but not directly accessible.
| Travel conditions are doubtful and
the condition of country roads is best
ascertined by local nquiry-Milwau-
kee Journal.

HORSES AND MULES ARE
ON INCREASE IN u. S. A.

Although the number OF horses and
mules in cities and towns decreased
approximately SO per cent between
1910 and 1920 the total number in the
United States increased 10 per cent
in that period, with an increase of
218 per cent in horses and 32.4 per
cent in mules on farms, according to
bulletin of the Horse Association of
America.
The practical elimination of the
driving horse for business use and the
advent of motor trucks has caused
the decline in the cities, the bulletin
stated cit does not indicate, how
ever, that horses and mules in towns
and cities will decrease indefinitely,
for there are certain kinds of city
work, such as short hauls, slow haul
ing through crowded districts, and de-
livery routes which involve many
stops, which are most efficiently and
cheaply done by horses, and to which
horses are being resorted as the facts
and cost figures become generally
known"
The bulletin said there was
marked scarcity of good young horses
and mules, that the birth rate has not
Kept pace Will lie uSdln dIC, anu
that a twenty-five per cent increase in
breeding will just hold up the present
strength, but will not allow for nor
nal expansion in horse and mule use.
The bulletin quoted the United
States census of January 1, 1920 as
showing 21,472,772 horses and $780,
GAL mules in the United States, total
of 81, 2S3,413 head, and an increase
Oh 526,663 or 1.9 over the number in
1910.
The 1910 census also showed that
19,167,161 horses and 5,432, 391 mules
were on the farms, grand total OF
25,199,552 head representing an in
crease of 546,S23 horses or 218 per
cent and an increase of 1,331,S79
mules or 324 per cent over 1910.
A total of 2,0S3,S61 horses and
mules was shown in the census to be
engaged in agricultural work, in
Guiding those in cities and towns. OF
this number 1,105,611 were horses and
37S,25O mules. This was declared to
be a decrease of nearly 80 per cent
from 1910.
