RialtO Concert.

by Earl Hippo, 'the Wizard of the
Xylophone," will be heard at the Ri
alto theater this evening, Thursday,
April TO-
This is the last of the Lyceum num-
bers offered this season by Mr.. Palmer.
While the previous numbers have been
satisfactory in every way, this number
beyond doubt is the best of the series.
Mr.. Palmer has sacrificed much by
taking this course: the public has not
patronized the former entertainments
in way to make him come through
financially anywhere near the right side
of the ledger.
The Reporter would urge all who can
possibly get away this evening to at
tend. Musically it will be worth your
while, and as matter of pride the
good folks in Edgerron should do their
tardy bit towards reducing the deficit
which is certain to face Mr.. Palmer at
the close of the seasons bureau series.
The admittance is 55c for adults; chill
dren 25c, both including tax.

FORD CAR HAS MANY REFINE
MENTS
Body and Mechanical improvements
Meet Public Approval

The Ford Motor Company, Detroit,
has a list of recent improvements in
the mechanical features of Ford cars.
Asserting that Ford cars are better
today than they ever have been be-
fore, the statement adds that fuel
consumption is lower; the engine is
even more efficient than formerly; i'm
provements in the springs and steer
ing apparatus insure easier riding and
driving qualities; a new headlamp lens,
improves the headlight; and that many
other minor betterments have been
made.
Ford pistons and connecting rods have
been re designed and are matched for
weight before assembling into motors
This reduces vibration and gives the
motor a quicker pickup The new pis-
tons weigh three-quarters of a pound
less than those formerly used A high
ly polished crank shaft bearing also re-
duces wear, and added to the piston
and connecting rod improvements, in
sures a moother-running and better
balanced motor. The material used in
the Ford crankshaft and the care and
precision in it's manufacture make it
second to none.
The new Ford carburetor gives in
creased acceleration, though not radio
ally different from the carburetor prev
iously used, the new construction i'm
proves the all-aroud performance of the
motor, giving it quicker pickup and
a greater f1eXibility of action.
The wiring system has been complete
ly re-designed, and while it costs more
to install than the old system, is most
efficient, proof of which is evidenced
by the fact that it affords fire insurance
rate as low as the high priced cars on
the market.
Many other changes have been made:
A sixteen-inch steering wheel is now
standard equipment; timpkin roller
bearings are used in the front wheels;
one piece pressed steel running board
brackets insure body ridgidity and elm
mate vibration and body noises; dash
weather. trough prevents rain from
reaching coil terminals or dash wiring;
the steering mechanism has also been
improved; and the tools supplied to pur-
chasers of Ford cars have also been
improved in quality. Another improve
ment in the truck chassis is the adop
ton of cord tires as standard equipment
on the rear wheels.
The change made some time ago in
the seating arrangement of the Ford
Touring Car has met with widespread
approval. By lowering the seats and
altering the seat backs, greater comfort
was added.
1t is pointed out that retail sales of a
million cars and trucks yearly, and the
consumption of raw and finished pro-
ducts at a cost of approximately one
million dollars day makes it possible
to sell Fords at their present low prices
and at the same time to produce car
OF exceptionally high quality.

Obituary
MRS. JOHN BICKLE.

Mrs. John Bickle, nee Harriet Down
ing, daughter of Elias and Polly Down
ing, was born at Cleveland. Ohio, Sept
80, 1880. At the age of eight she came
with her parents to Sumner, Wiscon-
sin, where she lived till the time of her
death.
In August, 1848, she was united in
marriage to John Bickle. To this union
were born thirteen children, five boys
and eight girls. She died at her home
in Sumner April 6, 1922, aged 81 years,
months and days. She is survived
by four sons and five daughters, also
twenty-six grandchildren, thirty-five
great-grandchildren and six great-great-
grandchildren.
Very few, if any, of those who came
into the state as early as 1888 remain;
in fact we have no information of any
one living in this part of the state who
came here to settle any earlier. 1t is
also record of the splendid vitality of
these early pioneers to leave, as in the
case of Mrs. Bickle, to see ones de-
scendants reared in four generations,
numbering in all rs persons.
