English Pedal Bicycles
American Goes in Cars

London-The automobile has not
yet replaced bicycles in Great Bri-
tain, not by q long shot. There are
100000 of the latter in use in this
country. and less than 100000
motor cars. Motorcycles, which are
much more popular than in the United

The ministry of transport. in max
ing public these statistics, noted that
the British are doing greater export
business with bicycles and motorcycles
than the American manufacturers, who
once led the British in this trade.
In 1922, according to British records,
Great Britain exported 1870 motor

County Farm Bureau.
ADD TO SCOPE OF WORK
State Farm Bureau Officials
Help Organize KenOsha Co.
Farmers into Bureau.

An important step in cementing
plans for cooperative effort on tho
part of Kenosha county farmers in
their marketing plans has been COM
pleted in Kenosha with the formal or
ganization of the Kenosha County
Farm bureau. Orrin Fletcher, La
Crosse county, president Of the state
farm bureaus, and l. M. Wright, Wau-
kesha county, state secretary, were in
Kenosha to assist in the organization.
The meeting was held in the office
of the County Agricultural agent and
was we'll attended by those men Of
the county who are interested in taxi
ing advantages of the benefits of such
an organization.
Temporary officers elected at this
meeting were: A. C. Stoxen, Bassett,
president; Charles Curtiss, Salem,
vice president; Carl Iverson, Somers,
secretary; William Thompson, Somers,
treasurer, The following men were
placed on the board of directors:
William Luke, Wheatland; David
Miller, Wheatland; William Kline,
Randall; A. C. Stoxen, Randall; Will
liam Griffin, Salem; Chas. Curtiss,
Salem; Harry Olsen, Brighton; Peter
Hotz, Brighton; Grover Massie, Briss
toll; Will Van Liere, Bristol; Harvey
Gunter, Paris; John Holloway, Paris;
Allen Turner, Pleasant Prairie; Tall

In addition to the general board the
following were chosen as directors at
large: F. w. Becker, 761 Dayton street,
Kenosha; Carl Iverson, Somers; Geo.
Vincent, Genoa City; Patrick Sandin,
Salem.
Plan to Increase Work.
The various county farm bureaus in
the state, it is recognized, have accom-
plished considerably in their sections
along the lines of cooperative selling
and buying, and the state organiza-
ton has been instrumental in bring
ing pressure to bear upon the authori-
ties for legislation favorable to the
interests of the farmer Of the state.
Kenosha county farmers have long
felt that they were not receiving the
full benefit due them from their CO.
parison with the benefits which farm
ers in those parts of the state where
bureaus were organized and active. The
men interested in the work induced
STATE Secretary Wright to come to
Kenosha and perfect working organ
ization which now has been incorpor-
ated under the state laws and will be
rec DIV to do business as soon as suit
able quarters will be selected. The
success with which Wright has met in
his experience in Waukesha county
qualities him to be an authority
on the subject here. In Waukesha
county the farmers did 100000 busi-
ness this year at a saving to the farm
ers of the farm bureau there, it 10
estimated, of $4,000.
Further plans and policies of the
local county organization will be an
nounced by President Stoxen as they
are formulated.
