Visits To Beauty
Spots Near Here

Brownie" of the Milwaukee
Journal, accompanied by the Poor
Cuss" who are on their annual TO-,
900 mile tour over the highways Of
Wisconsin, left Baraboo Tuesday
afternoon after spending part of
two days in visiting local points
of interest hereabouts. For several
years the milwaukee, Journal has
conducted a department devoted to
the interests of people planning va
cation trips and summer tours, and
Brownie" is continually digging
out new beauty spots in Wisconsin
and through his paper advising it's
readers of their location.
On Tuesday morning Brownie
and the Poor Cuss," accompanied
by L. H. Hill, proprietor of the
Warren hotel, and representative
of the Baraboo Daily News, made
a trip in Brownies new Chrysler

be located about mile off of the
main highway and is we'll worth a
visit. From a spring coming out
of the hill a stream slowly winds
it's way until the water falls over
a precipice probably thirty feet in
heigth. The waterfall is not far
from Ableman.

Hesperiia Holds
Banquet At The
Warren Hotel

The Hesperia societ of the Bar
aboo High school held a banquet
Tuesday evening at the Warren
hotel. The affair was an enthu-
siastic one, and about thirty mem
bers of the, society were present.
The Rolling Stones orchestra
furnished music during the ban
uqet. 5a ii
When the tables were cleared "a
way the following program was
given at which Orrin Evans pre-
sided: a.,a
Ormand Capener pleased those
present with a, short history of the
society from its beginning.
Judge E. A. Evans gave the boys
thirty minute talk, full of in
spiratation and encouragement. He
said, at college there were three
distinct groups of young men; one
was the society or fraternity group
another the athletic group, the
third the. literary and debating
group. The first group had most
of the pleasure, the second group
most of the honors, and the third
group had neither the pleasure
nor the honors of college life, but
were very apt to get most of the
prizes in public and business life
afterwards
He professed intense interest in
any debating society, but most
particularly in Hesperia because
it was in the Hesperia that he re
ceived most Of his training. He
confessed to have spent a large
part of his time in college prepar-
| ing for debates with representa-
tives of other colleges. He said
that work and careful preparation
were the best securities for sue
cess. He gave many illustrations
of the preparation on the part OF
noted orators aand debaters. He
! tried three years before he even
securd thirdl place in a contest
Even now, he frequently wrote out
and memorized many of his adj
! dresses. In debate facts count
more than oratory and reason
more than rhetoric. 1t was g
very worth while address.
Kenneth CASTOR followed with 9
short talk and C. A. HOLSTER, the
boys coach, closed the evening
with a short talk.

dressed with the old fashioned hoop
skirts, large and small hats, tight

TIRE Making And
BAKING MUCH ALIKE

Tire making and bread making
have a great many things in common.
The baker tries to make his product
crisp and tender whereas the tire
makers ambition is to make his pro-
duct as tough as possible. Both cakes
and tires are largely vegetable pro-
ducts. Good baking is dependent on
the quality Of the ingredients as
well as on the skill of the baker in
mixing. So it is with tire making.
Good cotton from rich lands pro-
ducing a long fiber raw material can
be made into strong cord tires. Pure
rubber from the most capably nan
aged plantations having the best soil
make good tires. A combination Of
these two, skillfully and uniformly
put together make the best tires.
Tire engineers carefully test the
ingredients of their tires as do the
bakers their dough. The rubber must
be compounded properly, we'll mixed
and then so combined with the strong
cotton cords that no. cord will rub
against another and thus cause fric-
tion through unnecessary wearing.
This is a process which ~insulates each
cord against friction created during
the flexing of the cords when the
tire is in service.
The cords are moulded into shape
ard held there by the heads which are
made of steel wires heavily insulated
with rubber. Over the outside of the
tire is placed the tread. The whole
tire, not unlike a cake or doughnut,
is placed in a mould which forms the
design of the treads and baked. Be-
fore being put in the mould it is in
flated by means of an air bag which
forces the tire against the mould. The
baking is called curing" or "vulcaniz-
ing" After a carefully determined
amount of heat has been applied, the
tire is sent to the wrapping room
where it is wrapped ready for deliv-
= cry.
The mixing of the rubber compound
is not unlike the mixing of the bakers
dough. The rubber before curing looks

EFFECT OF WALL COLOR
ON LIGHTING OF ROOMS

"Few h~ouseholders realize the eff

zone so often enters a room in the
evening and finds the room dark and
gloomy, yet the lights in the room
may seem amply large for good IL
Illumination. Any wall color absorbs
a certain amount of light; even a
white wall does not reflect all the
light back into the room, though it
does so to a larger extent than any
color that can be used. The follow
ing table gives the per cent of light
absorbed by different cOlors and
kinds of wood:
"White, absorbs 80 per cent of the
light; chrome yellow 80 per cent; or
ange so per cent; clean pine wood
SIS per cent; yellow paper so per
cent; clean yellow paint 60 per cent
light, pink paper Ga per cent; dirty
pine wood 80 per cent; dirty yellow

87 per cent; vermillion paper SO pei

cobalt-green paper SO per cent; deer

Sometimes rough plastered walls
are painted with dark colors of regu,
lar oil paint. These walls, of course
would absorb most of the light. DIFF,

RAILWAY Tells
FAITH In STATE
Milwaukee Says MOntana's
Future Alone Will Justify
It's Extension

Missoula.-(Special.) - Officials of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway, in their plans for the roads
rehabilitation, look to improved con-
ditions in Montana as a keynote and
the "traffic department maintains the
eventual development Of Montana
alone will justify the Puget Sound
extension" the Wall Street Journal
says.
The article goes into detail on the
Milwaukee's business in Montana,
analyses the possibilities of future
development and concludes by saying
that local traffic officers of the road
agree in believing that with diversi-
fication as the foundation, Montana
is "just coming into it's own"
The article says: Montana now
appears to stand on the threshold of
an era of permanent agriculture, sig
nalized by a broad and growing inter
cash in mixed farming, in hogs, dairy,
cattle, poultry, corn and peas. Pro-
gress may not be rapid, but it will be
more substantial, with fewer serious
setbacks."
The story deals with the many val
leys in the state that the Milwaukee
taps and their resources, including
agriculture, mineral wealth and refer
ence to the merchantable timber area.
In conclusion it says: Local traffic
officers of the road agree in believing
that with Investigation Montana is
just coming into her own. President
Atkinson of the Montana State coll
Ilege said recently that this is Mon
tana's year of opportunity and urged
agricultural extension service workers
freely to supply the proper informa-
ton to settlers in order that they
might succeed on the new lands under
the new conditions and become perma-
nent citizens"

HARVEY s. FIRESTONE more than two years
ago predicted a rubber shortage, and said the
British crude rubber restriction act would cost
the American people millions Of dollars. The Brit
lsh colonial possessions in the Far East produce
about 80 per cent Of the worlds supply Of rubber.
while american manufacturers consume about IS
per cent Of the worlds supply.
Mr.. FirestOne has just returned to Akron, Ohio,
after making a survey Of possibilities Of growing
rubber In Florida, where he was accompanied by
rubber plantation experts. On one of the tours Of
Florida he was accompanied by Thomas A. Edison,
who made some important suggestions relative to
new methods Of extracting the latex or sap from
rUbher trees, plants and shrubs.
Rubber trees growing on the Edison estate in
Fort Myers were examined, as well as those on the
lord estate in Fort Myers and the Ford farm near
