Democrats Sweep Grant County
ALL FOLLOW
IN LANDSLIDE


Not to be outdone by the rest of
the United States, CouIee City voters
by an overwhelming margin indicated
that they were very well satisfied
with the New Deal, and cast their
ballots mainly for Franklin d. Roose-
welt. Governor Clarence y. Martin
also polIed a large vote in this pre-
cinct.
Although a. record registration had
been recorded in Coulee City, a COM
paratively light vote was cast. Local
circles were amazed at the democratic
landslide, with the general opinion
prevalent that Roosevelt and Martin
would win, but by closer margin.
A close race was staged between L.
A. West, democrat, and Frank Ora
ham, republican, nominees for county
commissioner in the second district
Graham finally emerged with three
votes to the good, but in the county
wide race was far behind his oppon-
emit, who grabbed better than one
Thousand vote advantage at the dam,
and led in several other precincts.
Voters of Coulee City gave knute
Hill q better than 2 to endorse
ment, but jumped to the republican
side and accorded Showalter slight
preference over Stanley +. Atwood.
Late reports disclose that demo-
Gratis were without exception named
to all positions by Grant county vot-
ers. The Coulee City vote follows:

She is the sole secretarial support

She was born in Neilsville, Wis,
near La Crosse, past which the Mis-

secretarial school, where she complet-

TICKETS ON CARS
WILL Be TRACED
Motorists Who Fail to Ap.
+. pear Will Regret 1t,
Says Inspector.

A sustained drive during 1886 to
bring to trial motorists who have dis
regarded tickets for traffic violations
will be launched this week by In
spector Benjamin A. Lamb, COM
mander of the newly organized police
traffic department.
It is the first step in program OF
traffic Law enforcement and safety
education, which will be one of In
spector Lambs principal objectives
in his new post. The reorganization
of the traffic department became ef-
fective Thursday.
An accumulation of approximately
$500 warrants for traffic violators who
had not been served during the year
hampered the distribution of 1886
license tags and is partly responsible
for the new enforcement campaign
to teach motorists that when they
get a ticket it means just what it
says and must be attended to i'm
mediately," Inspector Lamb said yes
terday.
The plan has been approved by
Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown and
will have the cooperation of Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer.
Credits Education Work.
"The list of traffic fatalities last
year was lower than the year before
largely because of safety educational
work, but the record is still far from
good" Inspector Lamb said.

ticket have little or no regard for
regulations in general if they can
get away with it and We intend to
show them that hereafter they can't.
During the past year $500 persons
who received tickets dlSregarded them
altogether. We got about 1000 of
them by holding up their license ap-
plications until they paid their fines
and cleared the record, but that means
that $500 tore them up or threw them
away as though they were handful

that"
To Get Their Man."
Inspector Lamb explained that
under the new plan the traffic officer
who makes out a ticket will be re-
quired to make an effort to locate the
owner of the car who has not reported
to police headquarters to post COL
lateral within specified time. If the
officer is unable to locate the offender
at his home or place of business the
warrant will be turned over to the
traffic officer in the precinct in which
the motorist lives. If the traffic officer
is unable to locate the delinquent
driver the warrant will be turned over
to the foot policeman on the beat,
who will be responsible for getting
his man." Inspector Lamb declared.
Most of the offenses are minor in
fractions, it is true, but believe that
If we can impress the motoring public
with the necessity for observing minor
regulations it will be lesson in safety
and help with the more dangerous
violations" the inspector asserted.
This does not mean that we are
going to enforce only the unimportant
traffic regulations, but that we are
going to enforce all of them, and that
when a driver gets ticket he will
have to tend to it right away"

ahead of him and little of to one

And then. almost beside him. so near

OF course, Reddy was disappointed,
but Reddy was used to disappOint-

his daily life. He grinned ruefully.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Cotton.Belt.

ONE Of the apparently curious
combination of words in our
language is the use of belt in phrases
like cotton belt, corn-belt, belt Of
timber, and the like.
At first thought, this would seem
to be homonym of the term belt,
commonly of leather, with which we
are familiar in the sense of band
which encircles the waist. This, how
ever, is not the case, as it is the
identical word.
Actually, in these expressions, belt
is a reference to the same idea and
incidentally to the intrinsic sig
nificance of the word, the allusion
being to any area, usually stretch
of country, relatively narrow in pro-
portion to its length.
We have belt from the Latin bal
teus, border.

TT WAS late afternoon in the Green
Forest. Reddy Fox sat in the
snow, looking at two partly filled
L holes in the snow. He had been
careful not to get too near them
Reddy was studying how to catch one
of the makers of those holes In the
snow. Somewhere near, under that
smooth, white blanket, were Thun-
derer the Grouse and Mrs. Grouse.
From a. distance he had seen them
when they plunged into the snow, but
he would have known who had made
those holes in the snow had he not
seen them go in.
They don't know that I am
around" thought Reddy. However, it
wouldn't make any difference if they
did. They are smart, those folks. l
have to admit it. I am smart, my
self, but so far they have outsmarted
me or I would have had one of them
long before this They don't know
that I saw them 60 into the snow,
but they are smart enough to have
done exactly what they would have
done had they seen me watching
them. If can just guess where one
of them is Squatting down there under
the snow I can perhaps catch one.
I'll wait while. I know those birds.
For a little while they will remain
wide awake, ready to burst out
through the snow at the least Sus-
picion that 1 am around. If give
them time enough, they'll go to
sleep
So Reddy went Off He didn't go
far, but he did go away and do a
little hunting. When he thought
that Thunderer and Mrs. Grouse
would be asleep he returned. You
should have seen him as he ap-
preached those two partly filled holes
in the snow. He moved, oh, SO slowly
He put each foot down, oh, so care
fully. As before. he stopped a few
feet away and, with his head on one
side, he studied those holes and the
surroundings.
Now, what would I do if I were
a Grouse trying to hide SO as not to
be caught?" said Reddy to himself. 81
wouldn't go straight in. l would &C
off to one side or the other. That
probably is just what Thunderer and
Mrs. Grouse have done. The question
is, how far have they gone? Did they
60 together? I don't believe they did
They probably separated. Whichever
way they have gone, they will bt
headed so that if they have to fly sud
denly they will have clear space il
which to rise"
Reddy walked in big circle around
those two places in the snow. He wa:
just looking things over. He knew

that those Grouse had looked things
over before they went into the snow.
Finally he decided that at least one
of them would have chosen o place
opposite q certain opening in the
trees. He went around to that side,
and then he began very cautiously to
wade through the snow toward the
places where Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse
had gone In. Very keen and alert
was Reddy. His eyes cleaned with
excitement. His black ears were set
forward to catch the faintest sound
from ahead of him. He was all set to
make a sudden spring should one Of
those big birds come bursting out
through the snow.
Slowly, carefully, watchfully he
stole forward. Between every step he
paused. He fairly quivered with an
ticipation and excitement. Had he
made a good guess? How he did hope

ventured. There was no telling

fine specimens of black walnuts may
be found today. They are long-lived
and can resist, to a great extent their
insect and fungus foes. The tent
makers do descend upon them and
consume their leaves, but the tree
has so much resistance this visitation
is overcome.
They are rapidly growing hardwoods
and reach a height of $50 feet, with
a diameter of 6 feet. The lumber
is rich dark brown and takes polish
ing beautifully. You can identify the
bark because it is nearly black and is
broken into prominent broad, rounded
ridges. On the old trees this bark is
often inches thick.
The nuts have commercial value,
and the deep -chiseled shell Is so
strong that it takes a good blow to
crush it. These nuts are eagerly sought
by the squirrels and boys.
In the Winter, after the leaves have
gone, you can then see what a sturdy
crown the tree has, and you do not
wonder why it is so handsome in the
Spring and Summer when the leaves
cover the stout branches and twigs.
Look in the Winter for the downy-
side buds, which are alternate, and
also look closely for the heart-shaped
leaf scar, the three-lobed leaf scar
and the three V-shaped bundle stars
During the World War the gun
stocks were made of the wood. The
propellers for airplanes used great
quantities of it. The green shells,
with their brownish dye, were used in
camouflage, the harder shells for
shrapnel, the kernels for food, and
the wood was used in many types of
construction work.
Thousands of bushels of walnuts
are gathered each year by Scouts for
planting. The nuts may be planted
during the Autumn if no place is
handy to keep them until Spring

They keep well in a sand pit or stored
in a cool cellar.
When planting, try to remember
the size of the grown tree and give
each about 25 feet for its own. These
sturdy neighbors love rich, deep soil
that is well drained. but where there is
an abundance of moisture. In 20
years you will have a tree from IS
