in FIELD FOR AssEMBLyMAN


Alfred Kaartinen, Of De Fer, Iron
county and Andrew Nissila and Ea-
yer A. Hariu of Hurley spent from
Saturday until Monday in Eagle River
and vicinity. Mr. Kaartinen is a can
didate for the nomination of assem-
blyman for the counties of Iron and
Villas and their visit was for the pur-
pose of becoming acquainted with the
voters of this county. He is farmer
by occupation and republican Of
the progressive type that does not
fear to state whom he favors for ma
tional and state officers. He authoriz-
ed us to say for him that his choice
for the presidency is Senator LaFoI-
lette, and that Governor Blaine has
his SUPPORT for reelection. His frank
and open stand upon those issues is
commendable and the fact that he is
a real dirt farmer will be apt to at
tract the farmer vote of both counties
to him.

MAKES GOOD SUMNER DRINK

If the nickles and dimes now spent
by children for soft drinks with little
or no food value were used instead to
buy wholesome milk drinks, the health
of the coming generation would be
greatly improved, says J. L. Sammis
of the Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture in a circular on MILK DRINKS.
Delicious and refreshing milk
drinks can be made in short time
either at home or at the fountain.
They are least expensive for the mon
ey. Fresh whole milk, powdered whole
milk, or condensed milk may be used
with large variety of flavors to suit
ones taste. Milk. has no flavor Of it's
own, and it is necessary to add some
pleasing flavor to improve it's taste.
Here is sample that anyone may try3
Put few drops of any flavoring ex-
tract in a glass; add one or more tea
spoonsful of sugar; fill the glass with
cold milk. Add a little ice if you have
it. The colder the drink, the better
you like it."

A charge is being made for this
medical attention, sufficient to defray

Neither team has lost a game this
year and from comparisons of teams

ITS UP TO YOU

You may be a big man in the bust
ness world Your properties may re-
present many good round, hard dol
lars. You may take an interest in
politics to the extent of complaining
about taxation, too much legislation,
useless regulation of industry, etc. You
may send your boy to college and your
daughter to a finishing school. You
may be a successful American bust
ness man.
But do you take an interest in the
government which protects your prop
erty Or are you merely one of the
kickers who complain about the rad
icals?y Do you go to the poNs and
vote for men and measures you be-
lieve sound or do you instead, go out
ard play golf on election day and let
the fellow about whom you complain
do all the voting.
Don't kick unless you are willing to
do your duty as citizen at the polls.
No matter how big" you are your
vote is worth no more than the poor
est bum in town.
The bigger you are, the more nee
essary it is for you to vote, Teach
your children to vote and your wife to
vote.
Don't leave somebody else to do
your voting for you and then kick at
results.
Your government will be just as
good as you help make it, and no bet
ter.

Ford Says Control Of
Nitrates Will End War
POINTS TO THE POSSIBILITIES OF
PRODUCING NlTRATES FOR
WAR POWER

Henry Ford believes great wars can
be ended by the United States wield7
ing the big stick. In an interview with
Samuel Crowther in Golfers, the Ma
tional Weekly, for July 18th, Mr.. Ford
declares that potential nitrate produc-
ton of Muscle Shoals will make the
United States independent of Chilean
nitrate and able to manufacture high
explosives on a colossal scale, I'M
dreamed of by munitions manufacture
ers, and thus develop war power be
yond anything that has ever been
known. In the interests of peace" he
declares, at seems that we shall have
to do it,
Mr. Ford states that war is not in
evitabIe. "The world does not seem
to be tired of war in spite of the fact
that everybody lost and nobody Won
in the last war. People are still alone,
is important, and they are going to go
on thinking in that way until a force
appears which makes the biggest
forces they can muster farcial in COM
parison' He believes that force is
latent in Muscle Shoals, and that it
can and must be developed unless an
enormous emergency expenditure is
to be toally scrapped.

Boosting Nitrate Prices
a Poor, Petty Business"

~
Our bid for Muscle Shoals, he
says, !" has been talked about a good
deal, but we have not been doing the
talking He adds that his interest in
the Shoals was that of preserving a
national asset of vital value in flu
ture national emergency, and that if
there is a better way of developing the
project than the one he suggested it
ought to be adopted.
He describes the boosting of the
price of xnitrates for agricultural use
as poor, petty business and that
nitrate profits could be readily multi
piled by selling nitrate products to the
farmers as cheaply as possible.
Petty larceny wars, he states,
will die out of themselves, adding: We
cannot prevent all war, but we can pre-
vent great wars.
Mr.. Ford believes that that potent
instrument of war-making, the aero
plane, can be commercially develop
ed as soon as they (air-planes) are
taken up in commercial way
Ground at Dearborn has been given
over to an aviation field. AS soon as
we know as much about them as we
do about automobiles and that will
not be long then they can be built
by the thousands or by the Millions .
he declares.

It's Power VS.. Power
Not Right Against Might

International justice rs very apt to
be power balanced against power, in
stead of right balanced against might
and Mr.. Ford believes that the queer
combination" OF banking and business
abroad which he says is not commonly
the case in America, results in war
as contest for markets. "The home
market is our chief concern" he con-
cludes. I'VE have no temptation to
make war for trade purposes
In the same interview in Golfers
Mr.. Ford refers to the ecent oil in
vestigation and it's disclosures, assert
ing that No people other than our
own would have kicked up such a
fuss The. worst evidence that has
been turned up concerns action which
in many countries could be taken as a
after of curse. They expect their
politicians would scarcely have been
turned up concerns action which in
many countries could be taken as a
matter of course. They expect their
politicians to act that way. These in
vestigations would scarcely have
been started even in this country
twenty or thirty years back. We shall
have nothing to fear so long as politi-
cal rescality is exposed"

Failure to Vote Harmful

One of the recognized difficulties In
this country is to get all the good"
citizens to 60 to the polls. 1t has been
established that very large numbers
of potential voters fail in each election
to 60 to the polls.
Doctor Tigert, in his address before
the American National council In New
York made the following significant
statement in this connection: Il doubt
II a weak or undesirable public official
has ever been elected by larger ma
1ority than the number Of good citi-
zens who failed to vote In the election.
agree with the statement l heard a
public speaker make the other day.
when he said that he had ten times
as much respect for the man who voted
ten times as he did for the man who
did not vote at all"
Instances were cited by Doctor
Mann where grating politicians were
able to continue in power because
only 81 per cent Of the voters turned
out to take part In an election. These
same grating politicians were cast
out. he said, when only IS per cent OF
the voters went to the polls after con-
ditions had become such that they
were goaded into fulfilling their duty
as citizens.

Fan HELPS Burn Coal

Fuel experts for several years past
have been preaching the use OF smaller
sizes Of anthracite coal such as pea
and buckwheat, for household use.
They state that these sizes Of coal
have nearly the same amount Of heat
producing units per ton as the larger
sizes and point out that they are ma
terially lower in price. Some people
ind that the smaller coal burns ad-
mirably in their furnaces except on
occasional heavy damp days. Then.
furnace stocked with small-sized coal
simply will not burn brightly enough
to produce the desired heat. On such
days an electric fan will come to the
rescue. Open the ash-pit door, set the
electric fan directly in front OF 1t.
Then connect it to one Of the con-
yenience outlets in the cellar and turn
on the fan. With the added draft pro-
vided by the fan the small-sized coal
will burn just as IL the weather con-
ditions were normal.

GOOD 80
ROADS,!
CONCRETE WINS IN
TEST OF MATERIALS

An interesting road experiment has
been conducted in Illinois for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining the facts concern
ing the wearing quality of different
road materials. This test road is
known as the Bates experimental road.
It consists Of SO sections of pavement
each 18 feet wide and from 100 to ESQ
feet In length. They are laid end to
end so that they make a, continuous
straight pavement two miles long.
Twenty-Five of these sections were Of
brick, II Of asphalt and "a Of con.
crete. In each type Of pavement the
sections varied in thickness from those
SO thin that they were sure to break
under the lightest test loads to sec.
lions which were considered strong
enough to support successfully the
heaviest load permitted by the state
traffic law.
All Of the materials for the pave
ments were made to conform to the
high standard as required by state
specifications, and the spirit OF the
whole test was to learn the facts.
Alter TOdu u6u Uccu COuStl
army trucks made 2S,2OO round trips
over them. Each truck was loaded
differently as the test progressed.
starting with the lightest load pos
sible for them, and gradually increas-
Ing the load until the greatest traffic
imposed upon any such was 81, 400
tons. Over 50 per cent Of this was
the legal load limit for four tons per
rear wheel. After the test was COM
pleted it was found that the concrete
had stood the test best Of any material
used. In fact, it was an overwhelming
victory for concrete pavement and this
can be better understood when 1t Is
given in percentage. Only ~ per
cent Of the brick pavement sustained
this traffic without injury. Only Tx
per cent of the asphalt sustained this
traffic, whereas Al % per cent of the
concrete sections satisfactorily sus-
tanned the entire test. The test will
be still further continued this spring
and new sections of concrete have
been put down having the edges thick
err than the center. 1t will be interest
ing to note what the outcome Of these
tests will BEE. b. House, Depart
