SPILLED MILK
IN BARABOO
Ca1' Strikes MILK Wagon ON Sec
ond Avenue Today; ]. /. Boz
ham Truck Over Bank

Enough milk was spilled in Baraboo
in the past two days to feed all the
homeless cats in the county.
About five o'clock this morning a
milk wagon belonging to the Gem
city dairy and driven by Herman
Nietzel was struck by Nash demon,
strator car driven by August Huerth.
The smash-up occurred on Second
avenue near Birch street and milk
bottles flew in every direction, the
horse hitched to the wagon fell down,
and parts of wagon and car were scat
tered along the. street.
According to those who helpeL
straighten out the mix-up the Nash
car was badly damaged and the bills
for the milk wagon and bottles smash
ed amounted to quite sum.
Mr. Huerth is saleman for the
Nash cars in this locality and moved
to Baraboo from Prairie du Sac a
year or more ago.
Car Leaves Road
The Ford truck used by J. L. Bon
ham in delivering milk took an excur-
sion on the Warner road sTuesda4
morning which proved rather expen-
sive to its owner.
The car was left standing on the
road near South street while Mr.. Bon
ham went to the Steve home nearby
Evidently the emergency brake slipped
permitting the truck to descend a
steep embankment and crash against
a tree. Dozens of milk bottles were
broken and the car was almost wreck
Cd.
The fact that the tree was in the
path of the car was a fortunate cir
,umstaMce or the truck might have
gone crashing into the houses below.

Invitations to the conference

it was evident today that Mr..
Coolidge still banks heavily on in
fluencing operators and miners to
keep the mines running by threat
ening to flood the anthracite mar
ket with bituminous coal, coke, oil
and other substitutes.
The ability of the bituminous
mines to produce the coal never has
been questioned, but the problem of
moving the coal in sufficient guam
titles from the mines has vet to be
solved. However, government ex-
perts have no fear of real hard
ships in any section
They estimate A4trican consum-
ers have 100000 tons of anth-
racite in their bins. With about
55,000,000 tons of bituminous coal
above ground, and soft coal mines
capable of producing 100000

DAM BOOSTERS
REPORT LEGION
WITH PROJECT
"Hammering Campaign"
Men Write Of Success
full State Tour

Writing from San Francisco,
Harry L. Foster advises that he and
John NJ. Kepley have been meeting
with success on their campaign
among members of the American
Legion, to induce them to support
the Swing johnson bill for the con
struction of Boulder Canyon dam
and the All-Ameriean canal.
From San Francisco, the local
men will go to the state convention
of the Legion at Eureka, where
they confidently expect the state
organization to endorse the Swing
Johnson bill.
Foster writes in part:
I'VE have been to every town of
any Importance in the San Joaquin
valley. Everp post we have been
before has come through with Il res
olution endorsing the Swing-Joln-
son bin and has promised the full
support of its delegates to the state
convention. At Fresno we had a
large meeting, the post there num-
bering 1900 members. When Jack
and ] finished our talk the meeting
immediately passed a resolution IA
voring the bill, and instructed the
delegates to the state convention to
help us in any action we deem neces-
sary there. They also asked us to
write a zoo word article for the
weekly published by Fresno post
This weekly has a circulation of
about $500 copies, and will give an
idea of how thoroughly we have
sold the dam and canal wherever
we have been.
Visits and addresses have been
made@to five posts here in San
Francisco and we have three more
to talk to before we leave for Eur
eka. We feel confident Of obtain
ing a resolution from the conven-
ton.
In all we have. visited 45 posts
thus far and have held as many as
four meetings a day. 1t has been
hard work, but we are very well
pleased with the results obtained.
Not only have we been selling The
Project, but being loyal residents
of the valley, Kep' and l have
scattered publicity on it at every
opportunity. The posts we have
visited have a membership of 20
coo so we have achieved personal
contact with the ex-service men
better than could be accomplished
in any other way.
''Now for Eureka and the state
convention, and after that we will
tackle the national organization.
