Wisconsin women will vote in the general
election next November and women voters will be subject to only those
regulations that apply to men voters. A woman must be 21 years of age a citizen
of the United States had a resident for 10 days in the precinct in which she
offers to vote.
The scene at Hollandtown last Thursday
afternoon shows the Badger State Oil and Gas company-initiated Badger No. 1
well, the first oil well in the state of Wisconsin and which it is hoped will
prove beyond all further doubt that oil exists in this vicinity in paying
quantities. The derrick is erected on the property of H. J. Fassbender of the
White Clover Creamery.

Dr. H. B. Tanner, formally of this city
and now at Eastland, Texas, where oil
wells are more numerous than mosquitoes in the Fox River Valley, in reading The
Times account, July 15th, of the Hollandtown oil well has prompted this
response. “I hope to goodness they do strike a pool of liquid gold; it is the
greatest speculation we have in this country now. If you hit the spot and get
the flow you certainly pile up a real gold faster, then any other way. But
there are a lot of dusters even down here in the real oil field.
