Do you advise the use of a power
spray outfit for painting buildings?
In the hands of an experienced per-
son, a spraying outfit materially reduces
labor costs without sacrificing the
quality of the paint job. Until skill in
maneuvering the spray gun has been
acquired, however, would not advise
an inexperienced person to tackle an
important paint job-Norton Ives, ex-
tension agricultural engineer.
How shallow may tile be placed in
muck? My outlet for the ditch is not
more than "a inches.
If you cannot get an outlet that is
more than "a inches below the surface
CT the peat or muck, it is waste of
time and money to install tile drains.
In your case believe it would be more
satisfactory to dig open bitches instead
of going to the expense of tiling-H. B.
Roe, division of agricultural engineering
How should roast chicken be sailed?
Rubbing salt, and the usual butter,
on the surface of the chicken when it
is put in the oven is satisfactory, also
if there is salt in the dressing, it will
usually season the flesh.-Ina B. Rowe,
extension nutrition specialist.
On what type of figure is the princess
line of dress most becoming?
The unbroken princess silhouette gives
figure height and is most becoming to
the short person.-Helen B. Larmore,
extension clothing specialist.
How can tell boiled linseed oil from
raw inseed OIL?
Paint little of the Oil on board
or piece of glass. Raw linseed oil takes
48 to 70 hours to dry, whereas the boiled
oil will dry in 8 to 10 hourS.-W. M.

LOSE RIGHT

1854 Suspensions in October
Hit New High Record for
Traffic Violations.

Three hundred and sixty-four motor
lists lost their right to drive a car be-
cause of traffic law violations during
october, the Drivers License division of
the state highway department showed
in its report today to M. j. Hoffman,,
state highway commissioner.
Eleven of the licenses revoked and So
of those suspended were driving permits
of persons between Is and 20 years Of
lage.
The number of drivers license sus-
pensions, 172, was the largest ever re-
corded in any one month since the
origin of the Drivers License bureau.
Outright revocations totalling 1872 also
had been exceeded in number only once
in the history of the department, and
that was during the previous month of
September. This is in comparison with
125 revocations in october of 1888.
One hundred and eighty five of the
1872 reVocations were for driving a
motor vehicle while under the influence
of liquor, bringing to LOB the number
of motorists who have lost their licenses
for this one offense since the first of
the year.
The lions share of the 172 suSpen-
sions last month were imposed for

showing that no time was lost.
Following the groans heard Friday
evening and the news that at least one
of the men was alive, operations were
further stepped up. During the night,
light was gotten to the man and a
bottle of hot tea was lowered to him
by a string. This was Joe SkuSek and
after an all nights work he was re-
leased Saturday morning. He had been
caught in such a way as to force him
into reclining posture with one leg
over the other, one foot of the leg on
the bottom being caught between tim
berS. He was taken to the hospital.
Alongside of Skusek, the remains of
Frank Antoncich were uncovered. His
funeral took place Sunday, the Rev.
Father Buh conducting the funeral.
These men were taken from the shaft
at a depth of 80 feet and the sup
position is that hearing the cave coming,
they had made for she ladderway and
were caught after only few feet.
The body of John Human was re-
covered Sunday. His funeral was held
the following day also from the Cath
Ole church. Tuesday morning, the body
of Fred Antoncich was brought to light
He was buried in the afternoon. Tues
day evening the remains of Gideon
Oinonen were recovered. His funeral
was held early the following morning
from the Finnish church. George
who was working on the cage
when the accident happened, was taken
from the cage this morning and the
funeral will be held this afternoon.
Skusek at the hospital is doing as
well as can be expected after under
going the narrowing experience of being
caved in from Monday morning to Sat-
urday morning. His leg was amputated
below the knee as the leg had died and
no circulation could be secured. He
claims to have been conscious during
the entire time he was caved in.
The thermometers showed 2 below
zero on Monday morning and yesterday
it was below. = Monday during
the progress of the heavy wind, three
men with the carcaSseS of two deer left
the north arm of BURNSIDE lake for
the portage in canoe. Since then
they have not been seen. This morn
ing crew of sixteen men went out to
search for them.

HICKORY GROVE

With the war crowdin' even the
divorces and murders out of the news,
it is not so hard to savvy why we don't
pay too much attention to Uncle Samuel
when he borrows another 10 or 20 mil
lion just to pay interest on other money
which he borrowed before.
Borrowin' money to pay interest on
other borrowed money, brother, that is
borroWin.'
How Uncle Samuel manages to keep
out of the calabooSe, while the SEC
puts other persons in, for too high
financing, it is kinda myStifying.
But most Of us, I reckon, we are
kinda like the young duck when he
graduated there at the Champaign and

graduated the Professor said to him,
young teller, you are now finishing here
and there is just one thing you do not
know-you don't know yet, that you

I am frequently asked, "Is it safe to
travel as fast at night as it is during
the day?"
Some persons feel that they can see
oncoming cars better at night, especially
around curves and over hills, because
their lights reflect into the sky. This
is dangerous confidence.
The driver has less visibility at night
than during the day. He cannot see
what lies beyond the beams of his
headlights, and the glare of headlights
from oncoming cars affects his vision.
Remember, at so miles an hour you
are travelling approximately rs feet per
second. Could you stop within the
range of your headlights if they brought
an object on the road into view?
