Lodi Man With
Road 43 Years

Lodi.-Forty-three years in the
service of the Chicago & North
western railway, That is the record
of John Roberts, local station a.
gent. Twenty-six of those years
have been spent continuously at
Lodi as operator and agent.
AS a boy Mr.. Roberts took up the
study of telegraphy, attending tele-
graphy school in Madison. In
1882 he started out as a full-fiedged
telegrapher. His first job was in
Merrimack. For four years he
worked at the key at various plac-
es. spending over two years at Be.
lott.
Kendall was the first scene of his
role as agent. He. spent thirteen
years there before the company
transferred him to the Lodi sta
ton.
To be agents in a small town,
Mr.. Roberts finds it necessary to
be a Jack of all trades, for his
duties include everything from
managing the whole routine OF the
office to doing the minutest details
of a job which has many phases.

Few Farmers
Are Prosperous
Says Nordman

Writers, statesmen and econo-
mists who are trying to make peo-
pie believe that farmers are pros
porous and that farming at the
present time is in thriving condi-
ton are, to say the least, careless
about the source of their informa-
ton, declares Edward Nordman,
Commissioner of Markets, in a
statement to the press issued to-
day.
Propaganda of this kind, says Mr.
Nordman, is no doubt well meant,
but it is liable to have bad conse-
quences in that it tends to lull peo-
pie into a feeling of false security
and to hinder that. searching for
truth that is needed to put farming
on a prosperous and stable founda-
ton. There is no end, it would
seem, to the generalities about the
economics of farming which these
prominent men indulge in and all
of it is of a more or less contradic-
tory nature. Thus, some of them
assert that the trouble with farm
ing is to be found in the inefficient

The process is still crude.
Coffey, who is but IS, sent 70
feet of coloroto film 1928 kilo-

Coffey began work on radio
transmission of motion pictures
eight months ago annd on June 10,

kins, Washington, had succeeded
in sending across that city motion
pictures by radio he transmitted
16 feet of film in his laboratory.
The Madison youth states that
it is the~ehemical side, not the e.
lectrical, that now must be further
developed. The machine used is
an ordinary transmitting set with
special protector and incubator.

Radio Ceiling
Is Discovered

Washington ceiling" OF
the sky has been found. The dis
covery will revolutionize radio
transmission, experts believe.
Investigations resulting in the
discovery were made Jointly by the
naval research laboratory and the
department Of territorial magnet
ism of the Carnegie institute.
The ceiling of the sky acts as
a DETECTING surface to electro
magnetic waves, under which Cney
are guided around the world in a
way very similar to that in which
whispered sound waves run under
the domes of The capitol here and
in st. Pauls cathedral in London.
The discovery will forever bar
the earth from communicating by
radio with other planets, accord
ing to a statement by the navy de-
partment. An impervious layer OF
electrically charged molecules sur
rounds the earth's atmosphere like
the skin of an orange and through
it wireless waves cannot pass.
800 Miles Up
The layer is described as a plane
of maximum density at varying
heights above the surface of the
earth, depending upon the cease
less billowing of the atmospheric
envelope that surrounds the globe
It's maximum height should not
be above 800 miles, the outermost
limits of hydrogen gas.
Explaining it's connection with
radio, the statement points out
that in the pioneer work of shore
wavelengths transmission, it was
found signals could be picked up
at distances of 40 or so miles, at
ter which they disappeared. They
were again picked up at points
hundreds of miles distant.

Two Hurt In
Auto Accident

Reedsburg. George Clarke was
taken to his home near LaValle
and Harry Conley, also from near
LaValle, was brought to the Reeds
burg hospital as the result of an
automobile accident.
The Ford runabout in which the
two were riding, west of LaValle,
plunged over an II foot bank, turn
ing over and effectively imprison-
ing both men beneath, pinioning
Mr.. Clarke's leg and Mr. Conley's
arm. Neither was able to free
himself throughout the night, or
to attract attention by calling. The
gasoline from the tank, which was
nearly full, dripped down upon the
helpless men under the car, and
gradually ate it's way into the
flesh.

methods of the average farmer
while others see the cause of this
trouble in oyerproduction. Some
claim that farmers do not keep up
with present day standards of liv-
ing while others allege that the
average farmer is going too fast
and that he is living beyond his
means.
Very few, if any, of these noted
men. continues Mr.. Nordman, seem
to know that farmers are the vic
tins of an economic order that
makes it impossible for more than
a very small proportion of them to
prosper no matter how hard they
work or how well they farm. For
some reason, these men never men,
ton the real trouble, which is high
overhead expense and comparative
" low returns. No reference is
ever made to the fact that the far
mers' high overhead expense is en-
tirely beyond his control, being
caused by excessive direct and in
direct taxes and by interest on in
flated farm values. Nor is men
ton ever made of the fact that
low returns are due to poor mark
cts and that markets are poor be-
cause the production power of the
masses is not balanced by their
earning and purchasing power.
These facts, says Mr.. Nordman,
are vital to the building up of a
SQUAD agricultural policy but they
are scarcely ever treated in that
light by the men who are looked
up to as leaders in the movement
for the Improvement of farm con-
ditions. There must be one of
two reasons for the failure of these
leaders to put their finger on the
real cause of the farmers Difficult
ties. Despite their prominence
they either do not know what the
cause is or, knowing it, they are ST.
lent because they fear the loss of
privilege to certain classes which
a cure for the farmers troubles in
wolves.
Mr.. Nordman believes that a
large part of the Indifference of
these men to such vital questions
as have been mentioned is due to
the fact that they do not under
stand them. If they did under
stand these questions it is alto
gether likely that more effort and
thought would be devoted to their
study and less effort would be was

3tions as crop limitation, tariff pro-
lection for farm products, monop-

met at the church to have supper
together. The dining room was
filled to more than capacity and
many expressions of appreciation
were heard concerning the attrac-
tive table decorations and the most
excellent supper which the Ladies'
Aid Society had provided. After
supper there was delightful music
by the Sunday School orchestra,
then special phases of the work of
the church were presented in short
talks by various members, the
pastor, Rev. J. r. Kundert, presid-
ing. Dean Irish spoke in behalf
Of the Epworth League and its re-
lation to the whole church. Rev.
]. +. Nu2um presented the matter
of church finances and benevolen-
ces. T. F. Risley spoke on "Our
Past Achievements and Present OPP
portunities." He said that the
time had now come for this church
to press forward and enlarge it's
plant in order to render a greater
service to the community. This
opened a general discussion con
corning completing the work al
ready begun on the basement of the
church. 1t was the concensus of
opinion that as soon as funds were
forthcoming the work of finishing
the basement and providing a larg-
er dining room and kitchen and
other social rooms should be CARR.
ed on to completion.
The conference year is drawing
10 a close, and again and again last
evening one heard the wish ex.
pressed that these general gather.
ings of the church members for the
purpose of becoming better ac.
quainted with each other and with
the work of the church might be
come more frequent in the year

hunters, not settlers, and came to
the region very early. 1t is said
they killed several Indians. Mr..
Huntley was so certain Of the loca-
ton that he told Mr.. Hood when
he plowed the ground he would find
ashes and other evidences of a
camp having been there. Later Mr..
Hood did pillow the earth and found
traces of an old camp site.
It has been. generally supposed
that Black Hawk went farther
north but he may have followed a
trail more nearly the Wisconsin
river until Spring Green, at least,
was reached. Part of the Indians
after the battle went down the

may have tried to keep i'll touch

but a few miles from the stream.
The Indians finally reached Bat
tie Hollow on the Mississippi,
point between Desota and Victory,

to the town of Spring Green in
