Wisconsin Farmers are at School Again

This has been a great week in the
states capital city. From every town
and hamlet, nearly, have the people
been represented at the numerous gath
erings of kindred farmers and indus
trial associations. Hotels, private
boarding houses and lodging quarters
have been overrun. It is a roundup
of interests that center largely at the
University college of Agriculture, all
verging to that direction. Vernon is
not quite as well represented in numbers
in this throng as last year, but there is
an interested, intelligent delegation,
and it is not an extravagant statement
to say that they all feel that their time
and money is well expended for the
week or ten days they remain here.

HUMAN STOMACH HAS
BECOME DEGENERATE
Animals Are Healthier Because of Strong
Digestive Apparatus.

An Interesting interview was re-
Gently obtained with l.. t. Cooper, the
young man whose theory and medi'
cines have created such sensation
during the past year.
Mr.. Cooper in speaking of the re.
markable success of his medicine. had
this to say on the subject: "My medi-
cine regulates the stomach. That is
why it is successful. The human stom-
ach today has, become degenerate, and
is the cause for most i'll health. In
the horse, the dog, and the wild ami
mails generally, you see no nerve ex-
haustion, no chronic debility. They
are not shut up day after day with
practically no exercise, and they are
not able to stuff themselves with food
when their bodies have not had enough
work to justify it. The human race
has been doing this for years. and
look at the result-half the people are
complaining of poor health, not real
illness-just a half-sick. tired, droopy
feeling. They don't really know what
is the matter with them.
Il know that all the trouble is
caused by weak. overworLad stom-
achs. l have proved this with my
medicine to many thousands of peo-
pie in most of the leading cities Of
this country. ! expect to do tie same
thing in Europe next year. This is
the real reason for the demand for
my preparation"

are given. Evening lectures are given
in the great auditorium of the agricul-
tural building, where the most noted
men and women of the times entertain
the mature students. These assembled
farmers are worked about as industri-

GETTING READY FOR NATIONAL CONTEST

GETTING READY FOR NATIONAL CONTEST.
The skirmish lines are being formed
in all the states for the great political
battle to be pulled of at Chicago in
June by the National Republican con-
vention, which VIII be assembled to
name standard bearers for the presi-
dental campaign and the election to
follow in November In Wisconsin,
those having in hand the management
of the state candidate, Senator Robert
M. La Toilette, have taken the prelimi-
nary step to place delegate ticket in
the field for the primary to be held in
April. The persons named for dele
gates-at-large are United States Sena-
tor Isaac Stephenson, Congressman
Henry A. Cooper, of the First district:
Colonel william g. Brumder, of Mil
waukee; and our near neighbor anu
friend, Hon. Alley Peterson OF Soldiers
Grove. A more representative dele
cation could not be Wei made choice Of.
and the censor doubts if there will b.
opposition to them at the primaries.
The district delegates, two from each
congressional district, have not been
named, but will probably be early an
nounced.
1t was urged upon Governor Davidson
that his position in the state made it
desirable that his name be used for one
of the four delegates-at-large, but he
declined III letter stating that he con
sidered ii proper and just that other
republicans in the ranks should be
honored. In reply to the committee
solicitation the governor wrote:
After careful consideration of the
matter, 1t is my determination not to
do so. In arriving at this conclusion
| would not have it understood that
such decision means unfriendliness to
the movement to elect a delegation
from Wisconsin favorable to Senator
La Toilette
Signal and repeated honors by the
people of this state have been accorded
me, for all of which | am duly appre-
ciatiye. | realize there are many
prominent republicans in our ranks who
will appreciate and accept the honor
and my feeling is that it is not proper
for me to stand in their way.

implies and to assure you of my hearty
cooperation in your efforts in behalf Of

AROUND THE HORN.

Seven thousand four hundred miles is
the distance to be saved by the Panama
canal in going by water from New York
to San Francisco-th three times the dis
lance from New York to Liverpool; two
and one-half times the distance from
New York to San Francisco by land!
The canal scheme grows on you as
you study it. To get it in full size you
need take map of the western hemi-
sphere and trace the way from New
York, on any Atlantic port, south past
the point where ship will turn west to
go through the canal when it is finished,
then east more than thousand miles,
and south, and west, and through the
terrible straits of Magellan, and then
straight away north four thousand
milCs-it is a heartbreaking passage,
all for the few miles of mountain and
rock and lake and plain that divide the
Atlantic from the Pacific at the isthmus.
They say now that it is going to cost
three hundred millions to do the work,
and pay for the property. And the peo-
pie of this great old country are more
interested in the estimate of six years
time for doing The work than they are
in the cost of it. Finish the canal; blow
the expense, is about the sentiment.
A fact of interest at the present time,
when the feet is at Punta Arenas,
which is situated at the extreme end of
South America, is that, had the canal
been completed and the ships could have
gone through it and down the western
coast of South America to where they
are now, the distance would have been
SIT miles less than they have to 60
following the present route.
The reason will become apparent by
an examination of map of North and
South America. The western coast of
South America is east of the eastern
coast of North America.
Other facts of interest are the dis
tances between New York and Yoke
hama, via the Suez canal, is 1900
miles; via the Panama canal, 1908
miles; via the Tehuantepec railway,
9, 243 miles; via San Francisco Qand
and water, 6,439 miles.
From New York to Shanghai, via
Suez, the distance is 1880 miles, and
via Panama 10, S55 miles-a difference
of !, sos miles.
To Hong Kong the distance is II, go
miles via Suez, and II, 410 via Panama;
and the distance to Manila is IL, $50
miles via Suez, and II, SAG via Panama.
From Chicago to Hong Kong. via
New York and Suez, the distance is
IL, 500 miles; via San Francisco, s, 365
miles; via New Orleans and Panama,
II, 742 miles.
BY New York to San Francisco the
distance by rail is 1871 miles; via Te-
huantepec, 4, miles; via Panama,
5,305 miles; via Punta Arenas, 1908
miles, and via Suez and Singapore Is,
672 miles, practically the same dis
tance as it is between New Orleans via
Magellan straits, to Vladivostok, which
becomes but 7,188 if covered by rail to
San Francisco and thence by boat.
Another matter of interest is the dis
lance one would have to sail going
from New York to Suez, to Singapore,
to Manila, to Guam, to the Hawaiian
islands, through the Panama canal to
New York again, is 3,O92 miles. Mil

thought he was lost and shouted back
to him. A searching party found only
the bones of the Polander, and beside
him an axe and three wolves he had

usually ferocious. This is said to be

not deep enough to retard the progress
of the animals.
