Electricity is the only form of power adapted to such conditions. The car is just the right size for easy handling in traffic and is just as suitable for the evening opera, in full dress, as it is for business or social calls.

HE Milwaukee News rejoices that Wisconsin has « greater per cent. of mortgages than any other State. This is not surprising. The ease with which a local news- | paper can be proud of anything within its own State has become proverbial The News presents this quotation from Senator Spooner: “A mortgage is more frequently a sign of industry, frugality and ambition than of hardship or extravagance.” It may be so, but most of us prefer not to prove our industry, etc. in that way There are two ends to all mortgages. Those on the paying end are necessarily more industrious and frugal than those on the receiving end, but, though not objecting to industry and frugality as such, we should rather be the mortgagee than the mortgagor.
