The crushing defeat of the university
foot ball team on Saturday last causes
the Madison Journal to observe:
"The defeat of our foot ball team Sat
urday was followed by most depressing
weather and a mental surprise that finds
scant solution. Madison believed it's
team invincible and was so confident
that it became boastful, even arrogant.
For such frame of mind there is only
one cure and that was seventeen to moth
ing. No doubt the bitter lesson will do
us good, increasing our modesty and
teaching that this is large world, Dane
county being only fraction thereof"

INFORMATION comes to the agricul-
tural experiment station that agents are
inducing Wisconsin farmers to invest in
patented devices for raising cream on
milk by the addition of water to the
fresh milk. This system of cream rails
ing is not new, says Prof. Henry, and
cannot be patented, though particular
devices may be. It has been tested over
and over again by experiment stations
and found valueless. Every farmer who
puts money into this business will lose
his investment. Prof. Henry's warning
is to have nothing to do with agents sell
ing devices for raising cream by the ad-
dition of water to fresh milk. In ad-
joining states agents have already taken
tens of thousands of dollars from the
farmers, and they are just beginning to
work the state of Wisconsin.

AS far as can be learned the people of
Hawaii are becoming decidedly content
ed with present conditions. The idea of
royalty is completely dead and the gov
ernmental plans of the United States are
universally acceptable. Since the islands
passed into the hands of the United
States, land has increased in value many
fold, and everything is becoming Ameri-
canized. The natives are as INDECENT as
ever and have not as yet materially
changed their mode ofliving. Taxes are
low and there are more millionaires in
Honolulu than in any other city of it's
size in the world. The common labor
is largely done by Chinese and japanese
but skilled labor is in demand
