ATTEND TRACTOR SCHOOL

4. Kircher and Victor Weiss return
ed home Saturday from Minneapolis
where they srent five days attending
the Advance Rumley Tractor school,
conducted by the Minneapolis branch
of the Advance Rumley Thresher Co.,
Inc. They report very successful
school and a good time while in the
Flour City. The school was complete
and thorough. Nothing was left un-
done to give every man who attended
thorough instruction in the care, ep-
Grafton and repair of Oilpull tractors.
Besides attending a number of lee
lures by nationally known engineers
and educators, each student at the
school spent about two-thirds his time
in specially prepared mechanical
laboratory. A large room was fitted
up with long lines of motors, trans
missions, magnetos and other parts of
the tractor and every man was re-
quired to take down and properly put
together every part of the machine.
Messrs. Kircher and Weiss are to
have the agency for the Oilpull trac-
tors in this territory, and will have
an announcement in this paper soon.

FIRE AND RUNAWAY

The small motor which runs the cof-
fee grinder in the G. F. Heinrich
grocery store burned up Monday eve
ming and smoked up the store some
what. The switch which controls the
motor had evidently been accidently
partially closed, not enough to start
the wheel but sufficiently to send the
current into the coils and heat them
until the oil ignited.
When the blaze broke out the fire
department was immediately called,
The glass in rear door was broken
to gain entrance, and brief applica.
ton of the chemicals sufficed to ex-
tinguish the blaze.
A team, belonging to Joe Fable was
tied beside the Heinrich store wher
the blaze was discovered, and when
the siren sounded the horses broke
loose and darted out onto Main street
Headed off by the crowd that swerved
about and ran up the sidewalk past
the Postoffice, barely missing many
pedestrians who We're hurrying to the
fire.

COMFORT STATIONS

A public comfort station for every
city and village in Wisconsin is the
purpose of the state, expressed in
state law and given added force by a
1921 legislative act which provided
funds for supervising construction.
The state board of health this year
will extend assistance gratuitously to
municipalities, giving advice in choos-
ing sites, in preparing plans and de-
veloping local stimulus to bring such
improvements to r.ss.
The law, which is mandatory, has
already been complied with in a
large number Of places. Some have
erected artistic and commodious build
ings for the purpose, but the majority
have fitted up space in existing muni-
cipal buildings or converted existing
toilet facilities for this public func-
tion, thus effecting economy while
complying with every requirement.
In most places, it is lelieved. the i'm
provement can be ma. with only 4
modest outlay Of funds.
In every community where it has
made surveys on this subject, the
state board Of health ascertained that
public sentiment is heartily in accord
with this law. The only obstacle to
it's full enforcement has been the lack
Of initiative in some and doubt as to
ways and means in others. The
state board Of health is prepared to
outline practicable procedures for
every community planning to supply
this equipment for its citizens and
visitors.

WHAT KIND OF ALFALFA SEED.
By A. W. Knott

There have been between twenty
and twenty-five cars of alfalfa hay
brought into st. Croix county this
winter for feeding dairy cattle. The
price paid has been between $3.50 to
$500 per ton, according to quality.
Many of those who purchased this
hay win try to grow their own alfal-
ia in future years. just what kind
of seed will do best in this section is
not fully decided as yet. However,
there are a few conclusions that we
can safely make. The Genuine Grimm
alfalfa, in most cases has proven to
be more hardy than any of the other
varieties, and for the beginner it is
well worth the cost of seed. Yet, on
fields where alfalfa has been success
fully grown, it is likely that common
seed will give satisfactory results.
If common alfalfa seed is to be
used, Prof. L. F. GRADER of the Wis
consin College Of Agriculture, gives
the following advice.
ut appears quite commonly that as
far as common alfalfa seed is con-
cerned there is no necessity for Wis
consin farmers paying a premium for
Montana seed when South Dakota
grown common is available at lower
price. While the trials Indicate con-
siderable variation of common strains
within given state, some being hard
Ter than others-the average common
South Dakota grown seed appears the
equal in practically every respect of
the more popular strains. While the
results are not entirely complete, it
seems that more Importance is attach
ed to Montana alfalfa seed than COM
parative tests would warrant
Anyone planning to seed alfalfa the
coming spring should have the soil
tested for acidity. Then the proper
amount Of lime should be added and
the seed should be inoculated.

Many Thrills In
Shooting Doubles
At Atlantic City
BY GEO. S. MCCARTHY
Amateur Trapshooting Champion.

Amateur 1FapSnootln9 CndHP'OH'
Double target shooting furnishes more
thrills for spectators than any other
style of smashing clay birds, and there
fore it is expected that the gallery on
the Absecon Boulevard, Atlantic City,
New Jersey, will be very large on Tues
day, September IL, the second day OF the
1922 Grand American Clay Target Cham
pionships On this day both the anna
teur and professional championships al
double targets will be contested.
Another feature event which is ex-
pected to interest the gallery is the
Tunior Trapshooting Championship. In
this event boys ranging in age from ten
to eighteen years will shoot at 100 SIN
Gle targets to determine which OF the
Youths is entitled to wear the trap
shooting crown.
In Doble target shooting, two clay
birds are sprung from the trap simulta-
neously. One flies to the right, the
other to the left, and the shooter is per-
rnitted two shots, one at each of the tar
gets. This style of shooting approx
mates more nearly than any other the
shooting at birds in the field
There are a number of trapshooters
who, because of the difficulties sur
rounding it, would rather win the Double
Target Championship than any othel
event on the Grand American Tourna
ment program. At Atlantic City thu
amateurs will be shooting at mark O.
ss out of 100. C. B. Plat, Bridgeton
