Free Travelling Libraries for
Small Communities.

The travelling libraries sent out
from the Capitol at Madison, by the
Free Library Commission, are main
tanned by the state and are loaned
free of all charge, except the cost
of transportation. These collections
are made up of the best popular
books in fiction, history, travel,
biography, science and literature
for adults and children. They are
shipped in stout pine cases and are
accompanied by printed catalogues
necessary for keeping record of the
circulation. The travelling libraries
are intended for farming communi-
ties and small villages not enjoying
public libraries.
To secure a travelling library a
library association must first be
organized which shall include at
least ten citizens. They must elect
a librarian who shall have charge of
the libraries and return them
promptly to the Commission at the
exp; ration TO each half year. The
Commission desires to supply as
many communities in the state as
its means will allow. Application
blanks will be forwarded upon

1t is claimed that some of the
patients of Till, the Somerset doctor,
have died after having submitted to
his treatment. From this it would
seem that Till's plasters are not an
infallible insurance against death
as many patent medicines and the
treatment of regulars are. Some of
the papers say that Till charges no
fee for his services but his income
is 81 900 a week. How they arrive
at this conclusion they fail to inform
us. We suppose Till tells them
how much he gets a week.

Waupaca county, the leading
county for potato cultivation in the
state, proposes to have an annual
potato day, day set apart by pota-
to growers as holiday with a ban
quet consisting prim arily of baked
potatoes. The observance of such
a day would arouse an interest in
the potato industry in other counties
where potatoes can be profitably
grown.

Local Health Officer Import.
ant Factor.

The Wisconsin Live Stock SAM
tary Board was organized to protect
the health of the livestock of this
state. In order to obtain the best
results, it is important that the
local health officers cooperate with
the State Veterinarian by reporting
all stock afflicted with contagious
or infectious diseases to this office.
All owners of branded horses
shipped into this state should have
health certificate showing that
said animals were properly inspect
ed by qualified veterinarian before
entering the state or at their destin-
alton. If the owner fails to produce
health certificate of these animals,
it is the duty of the health officer to
at once quarantine them and notify
the State Veterinarian. In regard
to the importation of cattle, the
health officer has right to demand
of the owner of all cattle intended
FOR milk or dairy purposes tuber-
culin test sheet, bearing the temper
ature records of said animals, show
ing that they have been submitted
to the tuberculin test before enter
ing the state or at their destination.
In case the owner fails to produce
the tuberculin test sheet it is the
duty of the health officer to immedi-
ately place the animals in quaran-
tine and notify the State Veterin-
arian. Cattle used strictly for beef
or feeding purposes must be accom-
panied by a sworn affidavit from
the owner to that effect.

President RoOsevelt's Policies

The President has the following
to say as to the effect of his policies
on the present financial situation:
There has been trouble in the
stock market in the high financial
world during the last few months.
The statement is frequently made
that the policies for which l stand,
legislative and executive, are re-
sponsible for that trouble. Now,
those policies of mine can be sum-
ed up in one brief sentence. They
represent the effort to punish sue
cessful dishonesty. doubt if those
policies have had any material ef-
feet in bringing about the present
trouble, but if they have, it will not
alter in the slightest degree my de-
termination that for the remaining
sixteen months of my term these
policies shall be persevered in un-
swervingly. My aim is to make the
average man, the average citizen,
the planter, the farmer, the cattle
breeder, the merchant, the profess
sional man, the railroad man, the
banker, every man who is really do
ing honest business in an honest
way, big or little-to make that man
feel that he must have pride in
his American citizenship; to make
him realize what being an American
should really amount to; to get in
to his soul the belief that he will
not only receive justice, but that he
will have a part in melting it out,
and if to arouse that type of civic
manhood in Our nation it were nee
essary to suffer any temporary COM
mercial depression I should consid-
er the cost but small. I do not be-
lieve for moment that putting
these policies into effect has ha
any real consequence in bringing
about such conditions as we have
from time to time seen in the stock
market. All that we have done is
to unearth the wrong doing. 1t was
not the fact that we unearthed it
that did the damage; it was the fact
that it existed that d id the damage.
All did was to turn on the light.
l am responsible for turning on the
light, but am not responsible for
what the light ShoWed.o
