been called to alleged interviews
with Assistant Secretary of the
the Treasury Taylor, of Wiscon-
sin, in a number of newspapers,
in which he had put himself in
the position Of opposing certain
provisions Of the Chinee exclusion
bills now pending in congress,
Secretary Shaw has been re
quesetd by the president to ex-
anime into the matter and report
to him rs to the truth of the alleg-
tions. AS Secretary Shaw is in

A Veteran Danseuse.

Probably the professional life Of
no class is SO short as that of the
ladies who dance for our delight in
the season of pantomime, and none
nowadays can be said to dance
through two generations. What a
surprise the present public would
experience at such an announce
ment as appeared in the London
Weekly Journal Of Jan. 26, 1928,
that a veteran danseuse, aged sew
enty-one, would on a certain date
perform series of dances. The cei-
ebrated Peggy Fryar, therein adver-
tised, had publicly danced in the
early years of the reign Of Charles
II. and made her final appearance
in the time of George L. Her
dancing in her seventy-second year
drew crowds to the New theater in
the Haynarket in 1928, but the
charm was probably the novelty
rather than the excellence Of her
performance.

Where Pearls Are Found.

Old biographies make the Persian
gulf the seat of the pearl industry,
but now many beautiful pearls are
found in different parts Of Amer
lea. In the Mississippi river and its
tributaries in Minnesota and Wis
consin quite a number of people are
engaged in fishing for the mussels
in which the pearls are found. It
is said that one pearl is found in ev-
cry ten mussels fshed from the wa
ter. The fisherman does not worry
about this. He keeps the shells and
takes them to the button factory,
where there is always demand, for,
as you know, boys and girls use up a
good many buttons in the course Of
a yeaT, and no one ever knows what
becomes Of them. A floating but
ton factory built on a boat travels
up and down the Mississippi. 1t
stops at place long enough to use
up all the shells and then goes on
where there is another mussel bed
or where the fishermen accumulate
a heap. Some of the pearls are very.
valuable and have been sold for as
large a price as $4,000.

Christmas Card Evolution.

The Christmas card dates back to
1912, in which year the idea of such
"a device occurred to Sir Henry Cole,
who employed the famous artist, j.
G. Horsley, to make the design for
him. Sir Henry gave his idea and
design to London publisher, who
printed and sold about thousand
cards. They were Autographed and
then colored by hand. Such was the
small beginning Of what is now an
immense business. Every Christ
mas cards were put on the market,
but they did not seem to be popular
until 1862, when they came sudden
~ into favor in England and soon
began to be used to considerable
extent on this side of the water. It
was some years, however, before the
Christmas card achieved in the
United States the great popularity
which it now enjoys. The first
Christmas cards were simple af-
fairs, those of the early sixties be-
ing mostly plain cards bearing the
words merry Christmas, or Hap
Ply New Year. only. They soon be-
gan to grow in ornateness, however,
and finally arrived at their present
state.

Favorable Climate
The climate itself will prove
one of the strongest aids to

this favored region. The steady

middle states are quite I'M

ing season is not week longer
than in northern Illinois, and
the reliable grazing season not
ten days shorter. The summer,
with it's bright, warm days, and
cool restful nights, is a benedic-

higher in summer and no lower
in winter than 500 or 800 miles
further south. for the good
reason that the climate gives
greater tone, stimulus, vlgor

reason the food consumed gives
decidedly better returns to the

is far more cheaply grown on
this rich, lime-laden, virgin soils,
where lands are but a notch or

Wife Accuses Husband

Oshkosh, March %. Mrs.

plication for the appointment Of
a receiver for her husbands bust
ness. She declairs he is insol-
won't and absconder.
Clark is very much younger
than his wife, who was a widow
with several grown up daughters
when they were married. She
makes affidavit that she loaned
him So, 1000 to purchase a grocery
store here and that he has never
paid her back, and has accumu-
lated other debts to the amount
of several thousand dollars.
He disappeared March Is, and
all efforts to find him have failed.

fortnight camping out with his boy
cousins.

promise me not to get into a canoe
while you are there" said his anx-
ious mother, sSfor / should expect to
hear you were drowned every single

The boy reluctantly gave his
promise. How faithfully he kept it
is clearly shown by the following
letter which his mother received in
due time:
Dear Mother-I'm having the best kind
OF time, and | don't mind a bit about
the canoe. Yesterday was the only day
I've really wanted to try one. for we were
going across little lake to another camp
But they've been teaching me how to
swim, and Ned said he and I could swim
across and let the other four take the
two canoes, and SO we did, and swan
back again too Wasn't that great? And
knew you'd be pleased to think I re-
membered my promise. Your affectionate

Grain Grows. Too.

But dairy COWS must have grain
as well as coarse forage; here the
farmer suffers nothing in com
parison with dairymen elsewhere.
Over much of the north Indian
corn will ripen, giving that feed
lin abundance. Then there are
oats, which give a sure crop of
fine grain, and barley yields an
abundance Of grain excellent for
COW feeding. The yield of peas
at the north is far IN excess of
what can be gathered from this
crop farther south, and pea meal
furnishes a COW feed of the
strongest character. The rail
ways lead to the milling centers
of Minneapolis and Superior,
making it all easy possibility for
dairy farmers to secure bran and

shorts to supplement the grain
grown on the farm.

as the foremost cheese district

The fine cheese districts of
Europe and America are not
in the warm regions, but rather
in those where, the nights are
cool, the waters pure and cold
and the grasses posses a nutri-
tious value. While southern
Minnesota, southern Wisconsin,
northern Illinois and Iowa may
remain the great centers Of
butter production for this count

to compete with northern Wis

Northern Wisconsin
Minneapolis Journal:

Minneapolis Journal:
Northern Wisconsin, says a
student of the region, will some
day become one of the great dairy
regions of America, if only the
people will bend their energies in
the right direction and concen
trate their efforts upon the pro-
duction of high grade dairy pro-
ducts. Let US look carefully into
the requisite of a true dairy
country, and see if Northern
Wisconsin meets the demand.
First of all there is that prime
requisite for fine butter and
cheese, namely, an ample supply
of pure, cold water, everywhere
accessible. Northern Wisconsin
is unexcelled in the great abund-
ance of pure cold water in Ter
thousands of lakes, her many
rivers, brooks and springs; in
deed, the water supply will meet
the requirements of the most ex-
acting in its quantity, purity and
coolness.
The second requisite is an
abundance of wholesome stock
foods, in good variety for sum
merand winter feeding. In sum-
mer time the dairy cattle of
Northern Wisconsin will find in
its pastures the finest Of grasses
and clover, for the cropping.
Red and white clover flourish, and
timothy and bluegrass pastures
are as prevalent and productive
as anywhere further south. The
pasture season for cattle is not
so long in the far north by about
one month as in the extreme
southern part of the state, but
while they last, these pastures
are rot excelled by those in any
Other part of our country. For
winter forage the dairyman can
provide an abundance of fodder
corr, clover and timothy hay, pea
straw, OFT hay. root crops and
silage. from corn and clover.
This gives him list of coarse
forage evual in variety and puali
~ to that possed by darymen
far 5ber south. The abundance
Of these crops is only measured
by 6he ambitation Of the farmer
in producing them.

Must Marry or pay Fare

Lincoln, March %. Mrs. Abe
line Weiss, a comely German
widow of so years, hailing from
Beardstown, ILL.,, has applied to
the Lincoln police for aid in
search of a man who had pro
missed to make her his wife.
Mrs. Weiss had answered an
Observation-Disclosures by Michael
Miller Of Pleasant Dale, Neb.,
and after a prolonged correspond
ence, she came to Lincoln today,
by mutual agreement, that they
should wed. Miller was to know
her by a bit of ribbon pinned to
her dress.
Mrs. Weiss arrived in the
morning over the Burlington and
after pacing the station platfor m
for six hours, she sought the as
sistance of the police in locating
her spouse to be who had failed
to keep the appointment. She
spent practically her last cent in
buying a ticket from Boards
town to Lincoln. From here she
was sent on to Pleasantdale,
where Miller lives, and will insist
on his making good his promise
to marry her or else pay her fare
back to Illinois.

The robin is one Of the first Of
the song birds to leave the south,
often appearing in the middle states
early in February.
Heis about eight inches long, and
his coat is dark slate color, with a
chestnut breast. The nest is very
bulky ana rough in appearance and
is formed of roots, leaves, twigs and
grasses and sometimes entirely of
mud and lined with fine grass. 1t IS
usually placed in a crotch or branch
from four to thirty feet from the
ground.
The eggs, three to five ii number,
are Of a greenish blue. The food Of
the robin is chiefly worms, and it's
wonderful how many one robin can
eat in a short time.
