record, has preferred charges
against his successor, Major Gen

cusations, General Hart instigated
series of articles bearing on the
divorce proceedings then in pro-
Eress between General Rogers and
his wife.
General Hart is accused of furn-
ishing to Mrs. Theresa Howard
Dean, a feature writer, material out
of which she fashioned a number
uf articles uncomplimentary to
General Rogers by comparing his
divorce case to the notorious Still
man case.
Some OF these articles were quite

Start Pouring Concrete
Pavement Job Today
WHITE WAY CABLE LAID ON
STREETS TO BE PAVED
FINE IMPROVEMENT

The preliminary work of laying the
cutters and curbing along the three
blocks to be paved is now completed
and this morning the steam cement
mixer is being moved to the intersec-
ton of Wall and First streets, where
the project starts and the main portion
of the street paved with concrete.
Underground conduit for the ornamen
tai lighting system in the paved por.
ton was laid this week. 1t is said to
be the intention and desire to extend
the street paving several blocks early
next year, and we understand that
petitions are now being circulated with
that end in view There is no question
but that as soon as the job now under
way is completed and its advantages
seen, that public opinion will demand
an extension of the system as improve
ment necessary to have even though
the cost may be high.

POTATO CROP REPORT
PLEASING TO GROWERS
SHORT CROP OF sPUDs THIS
YEAR MEANS BETTER PRICES
FOR GROWERS

A short potato crop in the United
States was again established by the
September 1st forecast as announced
today by the Crop Reporting Service
of the Wisconsin and United States
Departments of Agriculture at Madi.
son, Wisconsin, together with Maine,
New York, Minnesota and PennsyI-
vania, show smaller prospects than a
month ago making the new u. S. esti
mate 344 million bushels. This is 8
million bushels less than month ago
and Ill million bushels less than the
big crop of last year.
The drouth reduced the prospect in
practically all the counties in Wiscon-
sin,-least in the Milwaukee district
and most in the Barron-Chippewa re
gion. In the latter territory there was
no rains during the first part of Aug
ust, and as early as the middle of the
month potatoes were need of mois-
ture, Many fields, particularly on the
lighter soils in that region dried up
prematurely. With recent rains late
paintings on the heavier soils have
recovered to some extent. The yields
on early and medium paintings on the
sandy soils of the Portage-Waupaca
district we're seriously reduced by
the drought. But little recovery is like
ely. On the heavier soils of this di.
trict however, the yield prospect is
now fair to- good. Already some good
Already some good early yields have
been dug; tops of later paintings have
frightened up after the soaking rain
of September 5th, and growing condi-
lions at this time are favorable. In
the entire northern half of the state
drouth will bring about a great diff
ference in yields on different farms
due to varying soil conditions and
times of planting. The condition of
80 per cent indicates production of
23 million bushels in Wisconsin
In commenting upon the potato
situation, Paul Myhus OF the Crop Re-
porting Service states that the yield
prospect is sufficiently good at pre-
sent prices to be distinctly encourag-
ing to potato growers. Prices to grow
ers at Waupaca were $1.40 cwt. on
September Sth. The tone of the in
dustry ii this state has not been bet
ter since 1920

HORSE-PULLING TESTS
ARE REVIVED AT FAIRS
UNITED STATES FINALLY DE-
FEATS CANADA IN PULLING
CONTESTS

possession of two pair of
draft horses that have held three
worlds records in pulling tests has
at last been defeated.
Iowa boasts two pairs that have
humbled the pride of the North. At
Wapello, Iowa, August 9th pair own
ed by Mr. H. H. Cutkomp, Columbus
Junction, Iowa set a new worlds re-
cord: and on September 1st at the
Iowa State Fair this in turn was
equalled, then surpassed. The new
.1nark-the largest load ever drawn by
a pair Of horses in officially controlled
tests on dynamometer-is 1925
pounds tractive pull, equal to starting
load of 44.5OO pounds on granite
block pavement for Is or 20 successive
times
BARNEY, a red roam, and PAT, a
blue roam, are the new worlds cham
pions. They weighed 1860 and 1925
respectively, are and IL years old
and are, owned by the Blue Line
Storage Co. of Des Moines, Iowa. They
were driven by M. A. Miles, and they
have the distinction of having won the
championship in pulling tests at the
Iowa State Fair in both 1924 and 1925,
subsequently establishing the world s
record they now hold. They had
weight, good type, and real pulling
dispositions failed to pull
when called on, no matter how great
the load, and did not know what it
meant to quit.
OF almost equal interest is the fact
that Iowa has also the pair that
holds the worlds championship for
pairs under 5000 pounds. This pair,
JIM and MACK, black grade Percher.
ons, are owned by Clyde Kinney of
Bagley, Iowa They hold double
championship for they are not only
ndisputed champions in the class for
pairs under 5000 pounds, but have also
drawn a greater load in proportion to
their weight, than any team ever test
ed. They weighed 2915 pounds, and set
a record of 300 pounds at the Iowa
State Fair, August 31st, 1925.
The pulling contests, started and en-
couraged by the Horse Association of
America, are being held this year in
Colorado, Itwa, Wisconsin, Michigan
and Pennsylvania, and in the Canadian
provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan
and Manitoba. They are creating ire
mendous interest and are doing for
draft horses what races have done for
race horses develop the best by test.
The pulling contests have also
proved that good draft pairs can devel
op over 20 horse power per pair, and
can pull, on paved streets, any load
they can start They will eventually
give horsemen accurate data as to the
type and weight of horses best suited
for heavy loads, and are developing
keen rivalry among drivers to see who
best can train and drive great pulling
teams.

PRESIDENT RESERVES ISLANDS

President Coolidge, by a recent Exc

settlement, location, sale, or entry, all
islands owned by the United States in
the Mississippi River between Rock
Island, H., and Wabasha, Mimi, and
has reserved them for the use of the
Department. of Agriculture in connec-
ton with the establishment of the UP,
per Mississippi River Wild-Lifel and
Fish Refuge. The islands are with
drawn in order that the Department
of Agriculture may hold them as
parts of the wild-life refuge from the
start instead of having to buy them
later from private owners. These is
lands, with other islands in the river
north of Cairo, ILL.,, were first with
drawn from public entry in 1891 for
the use of the War Department in con
nection with possible improvements
of navigation on the Upper Missis-

ToNVILLE WHILE ENRoUTE
TO EAGLE RIVER FROM CHI.

Doctors F. E. and r.. f. Lin
den, Jas. J. Lyon and Louis Scheffel
of Chicago were in town the first of
the week to transact the necessary
formalities in purchasing from e. f.
Hayward his 81 acre tract of lake
frontage on Stormy lake They intend
to build cottages for themselves aud
families and other buildings of use
in making permanent summer home
and intend to spend the greater part
OF each summer there They have all
visited this section before on vaca,
tons, and after much investigation de
cided upon Mr.. Hayward's property as
the most desirable of any and are
highly pleased with their investment.
Mr. and Mrs. Lyon and Mr.. Schef-
fel while enroute to Eagle River to
meet the rest Of their party were vic
Tins of a bad accident aud one in
which they felt fortunate to escape as
well as they did. AS related to the
Review, Sunday afternoon while in
side the city limits Of Clintonville,
they were passed by three men in a
car who after getting by, slowed down
causing the dust to become uncomfor-
table to the occupants Of the rear car.
Soon after in going up a hill the I'LL
climbing qualities of Mr. Lyons Pack
ard sedan, enabled them to pass the
other car and as they did the driver
OF the other car flourished revolver
rather recklessly as they passed. I'm
mediately the Chicagoans began to
think they were being bothered by
holdup men, waiting for an opportun-
ity to stop them and decided the best
thing to do was to put as much dis
lance between them as possible. Mr.
Lyon speeded up and not being IA
miliar with the road did not see a
reverse curve until he was on it and
then set his brakes sharply causing
the car to turn square about and then
roll over in the ditch Other cars com
ing along just then aided in rescuing
the passengers from the car, all being
severely bruised and shocked from
the sudden impact with the car top,
doors and windows. About that time
the car which had caused the alarm
came along and the men talked quite
insolently but offered no assistance
saying that II there was money enough
in S.se JWye they would pull the
wrecked car out. Their benevolent
offer was refused and instead wreck
er from Clintonville was sent Tor and
came out and towed the Lyon car
back to town The occupants were
taken in by others and had THEN
wounds attended to by doctors called
to the hotel. They were able to con-
tinue their journey to Eagle River by
train next day, leaving the car to be
repaired the damage being consider
able The Chief of Police at Clinton
vile verified the descriptions of the
men who had caused the wreck as
ones who had had similar trouble be
fore and said he would try to get them
and hold until Mr.. Lyon and his party
returned VIXEN if they wished he
would give every assistance in recov
ering all dana ges received by them.
