Waupaca. The department is mat
ter of economy plans to discontinue
the Madison reporting service entirely
and center all Of it's market reporting
activities at the Waupaca office. The
Waupaca office is centrally located in
the state and the wireless reports can
be sent from there so that every cor
ner of the state can be reached. This
has not been possible in the past as
the phone reports were not received in
the northern part.
The work at Waupaca will be car
ried on comparatively with the U. s..
Department of Agriculture and the
Civic and Commerce Association of
Waupaca is rendering valuable assist
ance in the establishment and main
tenance of the work. The broadcast
ing set is of latest radio engineering
design with variable power from l to
21a kilowatts which will give sufficient
power to give full service to all Of The
state. Four market broadcasts each
day and summaries twice q week will
be the schedule when the station
starts operating in December.

NEW BAKERY
STARTS With
GOOD BUSINESS

w. E. Blackstone, lately of Hast
ings, Mimi, is getting well started
with the Electrik Maid Bakery which
opened Saturday in the building on
First street north, which was vacated
last week by the Model Drug Store.
The bakery is equipped with an cleo
trio oven of PIC loaves capacity in
which bread is baked in period Of
45 minutes.
Mr.. Blackstone says he does not seek
to take business away from the baker
les which have heretofore been estab-
lished here. He believes there is bu-
siness enough in the town for three
bakeries ard his aim is to give the
people the advantage Of his sanitary
equipment and his experience as a
baker of all sorts of bread, rolls and
pastry.
He expects to move his family here
soon and become a permanent Wis
consin Rapids resident. Here's wish
ing him the success he is expecting to
find here.

G. NJ. Hafenbrack, chairman, Mrs. T.
w. Brazeau, and Mrs. VIM. Kellogg.
It was the concensus of opinion that
in order to make the conference meet
ings available to as many as possible
there should be no attempt to finance
the affair by admission charges. The
problem of securing the needed funds
was solved when tentative pledges in
behalf Of various organizat tions were
made by representatives present. The
music room of the Witter building was
decided upon as the place where the
conference is to be held.
Short talks were given by Mrs l.
P. Witter, Prof. NJ H Jackson, E. II
Justice and others emphasizing the
value of the work which Prof. Gordon
and DR.. Elsom will bring to Wiscon-
sin Rapids and Wood county in the de-
veloping of community leaders AMI
the building up of the spirit of com
munity activity and cooperation. AS an
added feature of the conference it was
decided to bring Miss Elscm of the
University, leader of aesthetic and
folk dances, here for at least one day
of the conference.

CITY HASNEW
INSURANCE RATES

Wisconsin Rapids is reaping the adj
vantages of the improved water sup
ply and distribution and of its I'M
prvoed fire department equipment in
a lower rating for fire insurance on
down town buildings, according to the
new booklet of ratings by the State
Rating Bureau.
While the reports of various inspec-
tions which have been made by the
Bureau prior to making the new class
ification praise the improvements and
the work of Chief A. C. Miller in
building up the city fire department,
they suggest still further improve
ments that might be made, especially
along the line Of strict building code
and insistence upon standard approx
ed electrical installations.
This readjustment of rates comes
as the result Of campaign started sew
eral years ago to secure a new rating

VIE Broadcast Market News to All of
State From Station Now
Established

A wireless receiving outfit in every
farmers home is the objective of the
Department Of Markets as it enters on
the enlargement Of its wireless mar
Ilet reporting service. The depart
ment is now constructing the master
wireless market Teporting broadcast
ing station of the state at Waupaca
and when the station is completed,
every farmer in Wisconsin will be able
to get reliable government wireless
market reports within a few minutes
after the market is quoted in the large
cities by trained u. S. Government
Market Reporters.
The Wisconsin Department of Mar
kets was the first state department IN
the country to establish and maintain
a regular daily wireless teIepfsone
market reporting service. The SER
vice was first started in October 1921
when a branch of the United States
Department of Agriculture leased
wire was installed in the department s
Office in Madison. This wire gave di-
rect connection with all the leading
markets from Boston to ansas City.
The department at first had no broad
casting station of its own and so made
arrangements with the University
whereby the Department Of Markets
furnished the market reports which
were sent out for it by the University
station This service proved extreme
ly popular and valuable and the de-
partment is now taking steps to great
~ expand the use of wireless market
reports. The reports sent out con-
sist OF markets on live stock, dairy
and poultry products, fruits and vege-
tables and hay and grain.
A daily mimeograph bulletin CIV
ing all the markets is now being mail
ed daily to those who apply for it.
This bulletin is being mailed from
Madison and at the same time a daily
potato bulletin is being sent out from

BUILDING new
Welding SHOP

The American Carbonic Machinery
company is an active and growing
manufacturing Institution of this city,
as is attested by The building activity
which is now being carried on at their
plant on the west side Work is pro-
crossing rapidly on a new electric
welding shop, 50x70 feet in size, built
of Carey concrete blocks with steel
window frames and sashes and steel
roof trusses With the facilities thus
added, the company will weld the large
coils used in the ice machines which
they manufarture and will be in a po-
sition to do in their own plant much
work Of this kind which they have not
been equipped to handle heretofore
AS soon as possible this building
will be enlarged by the addition of
another unit iof the same size which
will be used for a blacksmith shop
and steel storage space. This work
is to be done either during the win
ter or early in the spring.
Many of the older citizens of this
city we'll remember when the Grand
Rapids Foundry consisted of a single
shop in which the elder Mr.. Roenius
and one other man worked and built.
The business has grown under the
hands of Mr.. Roenius and his two
sons, Otto, who is now Mayor of the
city, and Fred who divides with them
the active supervision of a manufac-
turing business which finds market
in all parts of the globe.
A glimpse into the 50x104 foot steel
building in which the patterns used
in making castings are stored is in
teresting. Here are stored and mark
ed, the patterns from which molds are
made for large and small cast parts
for paper mill and sawmill machinery
and for ice machines made by the
company, as we'll as for q great many
miscellaneous machine parts.
Ia addition to all this, the Roenius
Wood and Coal Chutes, qnanhole COW
ers, and casting for floor plates, and
other heavy iron bcilding parts, con-
stitute a goodly item in the work of
this busy concern. Altogether there
is reason for the city to take pride in
being the home of a solid, forward
looking business of this kind.

TELLS OF TRIP IHRI EUROPE

lem that we are facing in the mat
ter of part-time schools" George P.
Hambrecht, director of the state
board of vocational education, who
has just returned from abroad where
he has been studying the work of Eng
land, France and Germany, said to-
day. With him went E. w. Shultz,
Sheboygan. resident of the state board
and R. L. Cooley, director of the Mil
waukee continuation schools.
I'm Germany the idea is better
work out than in the other coun-
tries, for it has been in existence
there about 35 years." stated Mr..
Hambrecht.
When asked what he considered the
most valuable thing he had brought
back with him from his European
study, he said:
"a determination stronger than ever
that we are fighting a good cause, and
that we can win it for the whole coun-
try if We'll stay at it. England has the
same trouble with taxes that We have
had, but it will probably not be long
before they, too, realize the necessity
Of separate budget for part-time

This service will be for the distinct

where health center facilities usually
are lacking. In these areas the in
FAINT mortality, as direct result of
this lack of skilled attention for mo-
theirs in the prenatal stage, and for in
fants in their first months of life, has
become abnormally large. Most OF
these lives could be saved if eondi-
tions favorable to health were insur-
ed

269 births. There were also 4.565
deaths of babies under one year, and

Because the same conditions which
cause this mortality lead also to i'm

for reducing these hazards for the ru-
