FORM OF GIFTS OBJECTIONABLE
Col. Austine Should Have Consulted
Persons Interested

II is apparent that the late Colonel
William Austine made mistake in not
consulting the parties interested be-
fore deciding definitely upon some OIL
the public requests which he made IN
his will, says the local correspondent OF
the Springfield Republican. One OF
them. that of $4,000 to the town for
fine establishment of a hospital, has
been a subject of much contention, ana
the final disposition of the money mas
not vet been determined. The select
men, to whom the money was lett IN
trust. are much opposed to the use Vi
the fund for the maintenance OF tu-
berculosis hospital, as proposed by the
trustees of the Austine sanltarlum' NOW

September has been pretty warm
month in general in this country,
but the recent storms on the gulf
indicate transition in progress and
while the weather may still be
pleasant it will naturally be colder.
The days at this time are just
about average, being midway be-
tween the longest and shortest
days. This is reckoned on the basis
of the divis on in the almanac. The
shortest day comes in December,
and the longest in June, these two
periods being marked by the passing
of the sun over the tropics, south
and north.
Properly speaking, the sun does
not cross the equator or the tropics
at all it being the earth which does
the moving from the north to south
and from south to moth with re-
gard to the fixed position of the sun.

Sugar No Longer White.

Unless the pure food commission
changes It's mind the people OF
Lancaster and the rest of the United
States soon will be using graduated
and other sugars that have a dis
tinctly yeIlowish tinge. The COM
mission has decreed that no mineral
blueing substance shall he used IN
bleaching sugars.
Chemists use four pounds OF a
mineral blueing substance to every
million pounds Of sugar for bleach
ing. This, the chemist, say, is not
adulteration, but merely purifca-
ton by thoroughly healthful pro-
cess.
The pure food commission cannot
see it in that light, and insists that
the whitening process be abandoned.

like a tack. But it cuts no ice there
SO long as there are no feas in the

Candidates Expenses.

Though Attorney General Stur-
devart has rendered an opinion to
the effect that candidates for nom
ination or election to public office
are not required to file expense
statements until after the general
election, some of the candidates at
the recent primary election have al
ready filed their statements.
DCongressman Cooper spent 1919 81
to secure denomination in the LIST
district.
John Strange of Oshkosh, de-
feated candidate for the republican
nomination for lieutenant COVER
nor, spent $454.75. He gave 5000
to A. T. Rogers of Madison and SIS
to E. j. Gross of Milwaukee. Mr..
Strange also acknowledges that he
paid the expenses of the LaFollette
meeting in Oshkosh, amounting to
$50.
Henry +. Cochems of Milwaukee,
unsuccessful candidate for the re-
publican nomination for congress in
the Fifth district, spent $2,099.
Among the items are printing, 5000;
distribution of literature and pict-
ures, $3.50; clerk hire, $3.50; advert
Using, $3.50; hall rent, $3.50; postage,
S125; livery and automobile, 1925;
cigars, SIT; Waukesha headquarters,
SCI, and miscellaneous, $25.
One of the best we have yet seen
of the statements published is that
Of j. Y. Bum Of Ripon who ran
for sheriff Of Winnebago county in
the primaries. He details a long
list of incidentals in a humorous
manner and finally winds up with
the following statement il general
which shows his campaign to have
been an expensive one:
Entrance fee and tuition in the
primary school OF experimental
politics, three months course no

EquinOctial Stems ard Their Effect

We hear much these days about
equinoctial storms and in the
popular mind there is an impress
sion that IN some strange way the
suns annual crossing of the equi-
nox causes those atmospheric
disturbances so often destructive
and which make life at sea during
this period one of some anxiety.
AS a matter of fact the mere cross
ing of the line by the sun has moth
ing to do with these meteorological
phenomena. They are caused by
the rising at this time of the year
of great volumes of hot air which
disturb the equilibrium of the
atmosphere and set gales in motion.
