Senator Titus in Race for
Governship Next Year.

Senator W. A. Titus, of Fond du
Lac, will be a candidate for governor
next year and already has his hat in
the ring. A Titus for Governor
club has been organized in his home
town and cards have been sent out
boosting his candidacy.
1--WE favor the nomination of SEN
ator w. A. Titus for governor in
1926 on platform of economy
efficiency and tax reduction" the
cards announce. "He has con-
sistently advocated adjustment of
useless boards, commissions and in
speetors; publicity for state payrolls /;
one job for legislators; economy in
state expenditures; lower taxes
clean politics; laws to benefit
agriculture and dairying; laws to
promote conservation and forestry.
Forget machine politics manipulated
behind closed doors at Madison and
demand administrative efficiency for
the tax payers"

Legion Holds Annual
Election of Officers
Present Corps of Officers Will Serve
Another Year; Joint Installation
in November.

Reelection of the former corps of
officers and the creation of several
new offices featured the annual
election of officers which was held
BY the Edward /. Cossette Post
Wednesday evening.
John G. Kyle was reelected COM
mander, Louis Sybeldon, adiutant,
Adolph Hanson, finance officer,
Adolph Consi, chaplain, Simon Ellos,
historian, Charles Noren, publicity
officer and Henry Van Hoof
sergeant at arms.
1t was decided to create the office
of vice-commander for each of the
outlying districts coming under the
jurisdiction of the local post. With
these new officers in charge, it was
felt that membership drives and bust
ness of like character could be
handled much more advantageously.
John Morris was reelected vice
commander for Hurley. Chas. Dahl
was elected to fill that office from
Cary, Clarence Carney from Mon
treal. j. Marchette from Pence, Matt
Mattson from Iron Belt and Henry
Peters from Mercer.
Another innovation was the
establishment of an executive com
mittee Frank Erspamer, Leopold
Noldin and Barney Bertalone were
elected to act in that capacity.
Installation of officers, in con
junction with the auxiliary will be
held early in November.

Iron Mountain Ford
Plant Forces Increase
Increase of 900 Men in the Last
Six Weeks; Million Dollar
Payroll a Month.

The public's response to the new
Ford cars is reflected in the employ
ment Of more than 1000 men in the
Ford plant at Iron Mountain.
This is an increase of approximate
ly 1900 men in the last six weeks
and established new high mark for
the Iron Mountain division.
1t is estimated that the Ford pay
roll in Iron Mountain is now approx
imately $1,000,000 per month.
Although the new cars have been
announced as all-steel, it has resulted
in the cancellation of but few opera
tons here. 1t has also meant the
establishment of new operations, as
where steel meets steel, wood filters
are used to act as cushion and
eliminate the many squeaks.
In addition, several weeks ago,
more operations were moved to iron
Mountain from the River Rouge
plant.
The Iron Mountain plant is now an
important cog in the gigantic Ford
industrial wheel The parent plant
in Detroit is dependent upon the
Iron Mountain division for the
major share of the wooden parts
used in cars.
The Iron Mountain plant is running
well up with the Detroit plant, keep
ing abreast and even exceeding it in
production. The rapid rise in en-
ployment figures from 500 six
weeks ago to 1927 this week is
indicative of the manner in which
production is being pushed for all it
is worth.
Hiring of men is still going on and
new high employment peak IS in
prospect. All employing is done
through a card system, interviews
with the employment agent being set
on cards sent out after applications
are received.
The total employment by the Ford
company in the upper peninsula is
now $500

Rabbit Hunter. Kill Black Bear.

Mercer, visa party of duck
hunters from Manit0woc. Wis, COM
prised of c. II. Krieg, butcher; J. c..
Miller, grocer; II. E. Stretch. of the
Stretch Oil company. and f. w. Loef
Of the Cozy Inn, drove to Mercer
Sunday through rather fierce snow
storm for few days duck hunting,
stopping at Peter Dalbec's resort.
AS there is closed season for deer
in Wisconsin this Fall the party
while here decided to take a stroll
through their old hunting grounds
for a day in the wilds and to satisfy
themselves that the grounds, etc,
were still there, when all Of a sudden
they met up with black bear face
to face Mr.. Krieg, with a we'll
directed shot, hit Bruin in the head,
killing him instantly. From the
marks in the snow and the bruised
up condition of the lucky hunter, he
must have come in contact with
stumps and trees getting away to
safety The hunter claims that he
did not feel nervous until after he
fired the shot when something
seemed to tell him to move and do it
fast. which, from the appearance
Of his face and wearing apparel, he
did. The bear, weighing about 800
pounds, surely made up some fine
steaks and feast in camp was
enjoyed.

Potato Crop Short
in Most Districts
Crop Estimated at Thirty.four Per-
cent Below Last Year; Yields
Reported Uneven.

The earlier estimate of a short
U. ). potato crop was again affirmed
by the Crop Reporting Service of the
Wisconsin and u s Department of
Agriculture at Madison. The Oct
ober estimate is slightly less than the
September forecast, but both esti-
mates are 344 million bushels in
round numbers. This estimate is
III million bushels or "a per cent
below last year.
Fields in Wisconsin are proving
slightly better than indications of
month ago, the report states.
The Wisconsin estimate is 25 mil
lion bushels. During September
the yield prospect likewise inn
proved in Pennsylvania, Colorado,
Idaho and Maine, but the gains in
these states were more than offset
by loss of 3 million bushels in
New York and minor reductions in
Minnesota and Michigan.
Yields are very uneven this year
as explained by Paul Nyhus Of the
Twp ANSFul NAiiE Dti Nitts ne uiuutH
in August had various effects on
fields planted at different times and
on fields holding moisture better
than others. Good and poor yields,
accordingly, are being realized in
every locality. In general, however,
the best region in the state is a group
Of nine counties around Milwaukee.
The crop there has had no setbacks
