Utilities Companies

Marinette, Wis., Controversy

that the proposed line is an encroach-

No Engine Change
For Alcohol Use

Washington same type Of en-
CINE is adaptable to the use of alco-
hol as fuel, as is used today with
gasoline, reports the U. S. bureau Of
standards.
This statement is made to dispel an
erroneous belief that the use of alco-
hol requires an engine of higher
compression than the type used for
gasoline. The only change needed,
say engineers of the bureau of stand
ards, is, larger needle valve open
ing in the carburetor, to afford a
richer mixture of alchohol and air,
for complete combustion.
"The fact is that alcohol permits
but does not require, the employ
ment of much higher compression
ration than gasoline" the report
reads. Should alcohol or other fuels
of equal anti-knock value become gen
orally available compression ratios
could be Increased, and, as a conse-
quence, higher efficiencies could be
attained.
''In the meantime the chief ad-
vantage to be derived from the use
of an anti-knock fuel is that it per-
mits satisfactory operation with an
engine. too badly carbonized for sat
isfactory operation with gasoline"

Science to Reduce
Gas Consumption

Washington. During the past 10
years the production of gasoline in the
United States increased 500 per cent
This huge increase in the use of
our natural oil resources has failed
to alarm oil authorities.
The Society of Automotive Engi-
neers reports. "A sufficient supply
Of motor fuel and lubricants is as
sured for the national defense and
for essential uses beyond the time
when science will limit the demand
by developing more efficient use of
or substitutes for oil or will dis
place its use as a source of power
by Harvesting national energy"
Although one and a half billion
gallons of gasoline were used in the
United States in 1914 and nine bill
lion gallons were consumed in 1924,
automotive authorities believe that
the future will bring reduction in
the consumption of gasoline by meas
ure of new scientific inventions.

Fire Towers To
Be Great Help

Dunbar, Wis., When the six
fire outlook towers being erected by
the Wisconsin conservation l.commis-
sion in Oconto, Marinette and Flor
ence counties are completed, fire pre-
vention and control in this section
will have taken big step forward, in
the opinion of ]. Beitz, fire warden
here. Mr.. Bette is supervising con-
struction of the towers.
The towers are so feet high, with
a glass covered lookout platform at
the top, from which guards will watch
for fires continually during the serv-
ice season of seven months. Towers
will be connected with each other and
with Warden Beitz's Office by tele-
phone, and as soon as a fire is discov-
cred anywhere, the whole district can
be notified and preparations made, to
extinguish the blaze before it gets be-
yond control.
1t is understood the conservation
commission plans to build four more
towers later, to better link up the
district.
Towers under construction are 10

Fast Silage Cutter
Is Waste of Power


Madison.-SloW up your ensilage
cutter in filling the silo, and save
from f6 to 33 per cent in power.
This advice is based on expert
ments- made at the Wisconsin Col
fege of Agriculture, in which it was
shown that ensilage cutters are gen.
orally run too fast and are therefore
wasting power.
"The greater the reduction in speed
the greater the saving in power" says
F. w. Duffee, agricultural engineer
at the college.
Machines Of the 14-inch fywheel
cutter tyre are commonly rated to
average 725 revolutions. In cutting
the corn into one-half-inch lengths
this machine has maximum capacity
of over 35 tons an hour.
Many tests on Wisconsin. and Ohio
farms, Duffee declares, show that two
men. will throw off on the average of
Is to. Is tons an hour. When this is
compared with the good working ca
pacity of the machine of 27 tons an
hour and a. maximum capacity of So
tons an hour, the fact that there is
much speed and consequently much
power wasted becomes evident.
To those who find that small
tractor will not pull the cutter, Duff
fee recommends placing larger pull
ley on the cutter fywheel.
A little extra care may have to be
used in feeding to avoid slugging.
Experimental work with the length
Of cut demonstrated that consider
ably more power is required per ton
with the one quarter inch cut but the
total power required to operate the
cutter is reduced as the capacity is
reduced. More clogging of the blower
may be expected with the shorter cut,
according to Duffee.
The question of filling the silo with
out having men in the silo to tramp
down. the corn is receiving much at
tention, due to the present shortage
of labor. In experimental filing at
the college, two sections of distri-
butor pipe were attached to the de-
fector and man in the top of the
silo swung these sections around to
distribute the corn evenly.
From results secured Duffee re-
ports that the ensilage was. excellent.
The settling is, of course, greater, but
this can be overcome by either filling
slowly or refilling.

Large Cavy Farm
Raises 5000 pigs

Concord-On a farm near here
David C. McAllister is raising 1900
guinea pigs which he ships to all
parts of the United States, Porto Rico
and Mexico.
His main sales are laboratory pigs
This variety goes to the hospitals
and colleges. to be Used for scientific
study and experimentation.
Another type, of pig is the Peru
Wan cayy, sold for pets to bird and
animal stores, .,g
The guinea pig is extremely deli
cate and susceptible to colds. I'm
less immediate care is taken, the cold
turns to pneum onia.
When one pig becomes sick all OF
the other CAVES are infected unless
the diseased pig is segregated.
McAllister has built special hotel
to take care of his large guinea family
The hotel has special heating ar
rangements and Is kept dry and clean
The excessive heat Of the guineas
bodies keep the temperature of the
rooms so high that it is necessary
to have good ventilation system.
Cabbage, mangle beets, dry oats,
sprouteds oats, clover and hay furnish
an ideal balanced diet.
There is no regular meal hour, for
the guinea pig eats almost constantly.
The CAVES take no liquid nourish-
ment, including water. Their liquor
comes from their food and is ac-
counted for in the food diet.
When a shipment of the pigs goes
out a long distance, special care is
taken with the food.
The food Is packed in layers, first
strata of cabbage, next oats, clover
hay and apples.

ROBS CASH REGISTER
Police Seek Man in Gray Hat
and Salt-and- Pepper Suit,
But All in Vain.

Where is the man with gray hat,
salt-and-pepper suit and with plaster
under his nose right on the upper lip ?
He has probably gone out of town, or
taken to cover, for certainly he will
not walk down the street as target
for the police officers and detectives
who are on the lookout for him.
The mysterious stranger is wanted
on the charge of robbery while armed,
as the result of a holdup which took
place about half-past eleven o'clock
Thursday evening at a soft drink par
lor at 521 South Fremont avenue.
Searched All Present.
The man with the plaster on his
upper lip, which doubtless he has very
carefully removed today, stepped into
the saloon at 1925 p. m. and whipped
out revolver, swinging it around at
the four astonished faces which con-
fronted him. Joseph Segan, the man
tending the bar, was himself so taken
by surprise that he was unable to
reach the gun in his own drawer.
There was nothing to do for those
present but stick them up" and just

fists into the air on high.
The bandit searched the four men,
getting only some matches and small
change for his pains and then he
opened the cash register and took forty
dollars in cash which it contained.
He went out as quickly as he en-
tered. The bandit was alone, but the
police believe that he had an outside
man" on guard, as he took some
chances in searching the men in the
place and helping himself to the cash
register with deiiberation and GOODNESS.
According to reports made the police
after the holdup, the grey stranger
was seen in two places before he
robbed the saloon. He had been
across the way, doubtless keeping
count of those who went into No. 521,
and of the policeman on the beet, and
a few minutes prior to the robbery
had been in "Shorty's place" which is
also on South Fremont avenue, Sc
curing a drink. Whether he got the
drink as bracer, prior to the holdup
or whether he had meant to hold up

promising, is unknown.

OPTIMISM REIGNS AS

Both French and Americans Pleased

Washington, D. C. - Indi-

today as they pursued their efforts to
find a mutually acceptable basis of
settlement for the French debt.
Both commissions have suggested
modified plans of settlement which in
their respective opinions offer some
concession to the views of the other.
After. the French, at the first of the
two plenary sessions yesterday, had
suggested terms which they regarded
as going further than their first offer
calling for $4,000, 900 first payment,
Secretary Mellon, at the second ses-

terms described as perhaps more fav-
orable than those extended Great
Britain.
Although another plenary session of

See That Postcards
Bear Right Postage

Postmaster Holderness calls at
tention of Kenosha patrons of the
mails to the large number of greeting
cards sent through the mails without
sufficient postage prepaid on them,
doubtless due to the postal ruling in
creasing the rate on postcards.
Printed greeting cards sent openly
in the mails-th is without being
enclosed in envelopes, points out
Postmaster Holderness, are charge
able with two cents postage. Cards
which bear no unpermissible written
matter, when mailed in unsealed en-
velopes, are chargeable at the third
class rate of postage, IL cents for
each two ounces or fraction thereof.
When the postage is insuf1ciently
prepaid it must be collected from the
address before delivery can be made.
Many addresses refuse to pay the ad-
ditional postage, and therefore de-
livery is not made, and thus the pur-
pose for which the cards were sent is
defeated.

VOTE TO BUILD
SCHOOL ADDITION
School District in Pleasant
Prairie Votes for
$4,000 Addition.
ON CORK SCHOOL SITE
Voters of District Decide in
Favor of Consolidation
. by Vote of 1888.

Another addition to the school sys-
tenn of the county was voted at q
meeting of the voters and freehold
ers of the township of Pleasant
Prairie on Monday night in the Cork
school when the project which has
formed the center of considerable dis
cussion during the past few weeks
carried by a vote of SO to SO. The
vote assures the beginning at once
of construction work for an addition
to the present Cork school building
which will cost when completed APP
proximately $4,000. And in accord
ance with the opinion expressed at
this meeting architects have already
plans for immediate construction.
The vote came as elimination of
an exciting series of events in Pleas
ant Prairie. Early in the discussion of
the proposed project there arose a
controversy over a plan which was
suggested--a division of the Pleas
ant Prairie school district into two
parts. Roy Ihlenfeldt, county superin-
tendent of schools, brought to the vot-
he brought out the advantage which
would accrue to the school district if
they accepted plan for consolidation
rather than division. 1t was this
plan which finally prevailed by a
satisfactory plurality.
The building which will form an adj
dition to the present Cork school will
provide total capacity of 100 pupils.
1t will contain a gymnasium and
community hall in the basement with
two and perhaps three departments
upstairs. The equipment will include
indoor lavatories, kitchen, in addi-
tion to the class room, and through
out the building will be carried out
the most modern conception of rural
school architecture.
Frank Gamer is director of the
school district, Mrs. Josie McKeon IS
clerk and Miss Irene Chambers and
Miss Mable Mckee are in charge Of
instruction in the present school.
The latest addition to the county
rural educational system is the third
within year. The Washington school
at Somers was completed several
months ago at a cost of $4,000: the
Woodworth school is now being COM
pleted on the Geneva road at cost
of $4,000, and before the winter is
over the addition to the Cork school
is expected to be completed.
