LARGE CROWD
AT OLDSETTLERS
MEET; REEDS8URC

The weather was ideal for the Old
Settlers annual gathering which took
place at the armory at Reedsburg on
Friday. A goodly number from the
surrounding vicinity took picnic din
ners and stayed throughout the day
and evening.
The program began at 1870 and was
carried out about as advertised. There
was music and singing of all kinds,
readings, speeches, etc. Prof Lewis
of the high school gave the principal
address on Pioneering. He said he
had never attended a meeting of this
kind so had no idea what they were
like.
The officers gave their reports and
new officers elected were as follows:
President-Clark Townsend
Vice president-Wm Tibbitts
Secretary-Mrs N. A. Cushman
Treasurer-Main Baker
After picnic supper the floor was
cleared and the usual dance followed.
A record breaking crowd was in at
tendance throughout the day and
evening due to the very favorable
weather.

The truth is, water seeks its low

places, high elevations being among
the exceptions. Look at the broad
areas covered by farms, each supplied

in close proximity, have abundant
supplies. There is enough water be-

Modern civilization has is roots in
ancient superstitions. Man once sup
posed the earth to be flat, that the
sun, moon, and stars whirled about

meteors presaged happy events, es-
pecially the births of gods, heroes,
and great men. In surgery it was
thought that the application Of var

touch of the hangman cured sprains,
the breath of the donkey expelled
poison, and friction with dead mans
tooth relieved the toothache. Ia the

The Central Wisconsin Creamery
at Reedsburg is undergoing some very
decided changes and improvements
on the building near the depot. The
Office has been moved upstairs
which was also remodeled and fixed
preparatory to it's removal. The vault
was also moved to the upper floor and
the office force will have larger and
lighter room for their work. This
gives added room below where they
have added more watts and ice cream
machinery. A second ice machine has
also been added.
The front part of the old Office will
be converted into a telephone office

NO VIRTUE FOUND
IN OWNING RODS

AS to using the hazel wand for
locating water suprSIes, recent is
sue of the Outlook magazine contain
ed the following from H. e. Cole OF
Baraboo in reply to future contrl-
butor named below:
Reasons advanced for the use Of the
divination rod in locating water as
given by the Rev. Robert Clark, of
Lyndon, Vermont, in The Outlook for
October 1S, 1921, will not stand the
acid test as applied by scientific in
vestigation In 1917 the United States
Geological Survey issued paper on
1.-THE Divining Rod: A History OF
Water Witching,' written by Arthur
J. Ellis, and in the bulletin cogent
reasons are given why there is no
virtue in the use of a hazel twig or
other device for locating water.
Like many of our superstitions, the
origin of the divining rod is lost in
antiquity. Although it is known that
the ancients used rods or wands for
forecasting events and searching for
lost objects, yet little is preserved on
the manner in which the instruments
were used. The Scythians, Persians
and Modes employed them. Marco
Polo records that arrows or rods fol
divination were utilized throughout
the Orient, and other writer's found
such practices i'm Europe and else
where.

which contained the idea of service

Salads and Health
VitamineS

In almost every empirtant maya
zine during these days, some refer
ence is to be found to vitamines. A
few years ago no one ever heard of
them: now they are the subject of
conversation everywhere. Why this
wonderful interest? Why the sensa-
tional development of a topic of this
kind?
It is because vitamines are abso-
lutely essential to growth, and health
and life itself and the American peo-
pie, being a progressive and intel
lectual people, are deeply interested
in all three. Much has been spoken
and more has been written about
vitamines yet volumes remain unre-
vealed. In reality the scientists them
selves do not even now know what
vitamines are. They know in fact
where they are to be found, how they
may be handled so as not to destroy
them and what they will accomplish
when administered to the human
body, under certain conditions. In

RADIO SPARKS

A sheet of aluminium back of the variometer dial will neutralize the effect of body capacity" in tuning in radiophone signals. The aluminium strip should be grounded. Care should be taken that it does not touch the frame of the variometer.
 Wired wireless, or line radio, is the idea of Major General George 0. Squire, chief signal officer of the army. It is the basis of what is termed the superphone. by which conversation by wire can be carried on secretly.
 Possibility of interplanetary radio communication is distant says Pro- lessor J. A. Fleming, of the Uni yersity of London. An electrified dust screen thrown off by the sun keeps the radio waves down to earth, while lack of such screen around the moon makes that satellite unfit for long distance radio communica- ton.
 Radio for traffic control is the la test. It was used recently at Croy- don, England, on the occasion of the aerial derby. Orders were relayed by wireless from a dirigible to the controlling station on the ground.
