Hot Shot at Couture"

An interesting discussion is in prog
ress between former Gov Hoard,
through the medium Of his paper, and
the Wisconsin Literary Magazine, a
student publication of the university
which grew out of an editorial appear
ing in the university publication de-
ploring that the college of agriculture
was better known to the world than
any other department of the institu-
ton Mr. Hoard is president of the
board Of regents Of the university,
which makes the controversy all the
more interesting. In the October num-
Der the university magazine published
an article under the caption Does U.
w. Spell Cow" which read in part as
follows and prompted the controversy:
We wish that Wisconsin may achieve
as wide reputation in literature as she
has in agriculture, and that her play
wrights and authors might rank at least
as high as her inventors Of milk tests
and breeders of dairy cattle. From ar
ticles in the Saturday Evening Post and
American Magazine one unacquainted
with our university would conclude that
our oak-studded upper campus was de-
voted alone to the pasturing of Holstein
cows and that our ancient history pro-
fessors lectured from day to day on the
development of the sacred bull. Even if
the present is unitarian age, the Uni
versity of Wisconsin should have a repu-
tation for culture.

GO ON VISIT TO CANAL ZONE
TWELVE HOUSE COMMITTEE
MEMBERS SAIL FOR COLON.
Will Study Conditions and Possible
Needs of Changes in Form
of Government.

Washington. Dec. 2S.-To familiar.
lie themselves with conditions under
the present form of government of the
Panama canal zone and to consider
what changes, if any, are desirable, Il
members of the house committee on
foreign and interstate commerce left
Charleston to-day for Colon.
1t is not thought that any measure
having for its object change in the
form of civil government for the zone
will receive the consideration of the
congress at the present session, but
as all but two of the members of the
commerce committee, Representatives
Hepburn and Sherman will be men,
berS of the house in the SiXty-frst
congress, the committee will find the
information secured now of value
later.
There has been some discussion of
the advisability of attaching the zone
to one of the southern circuits of fed
eral courts in order to overcome criti-
cism that has been made of the pre-
vailing judiciary system because Of
the difficulties that have been expert
enced with regard to the limits of
jurisdiction of the civil and military
authorities on the zone and the gov
eminent of Panama.
The congressional party not only
will investigate this matter, but also
will look into all phases of the con-
struction of the canal.
The party will reach Colon on Janu-
airy 2, arriving in Washington, return
ing January IA. Those in the party
who are accompanied by their wives
are Representative Hepburn, Iowa;
Cushman, Washington; Kennedy,
Ohio, and Ryan, New York, of the
committee. Other members going on
the trip are Representatives Stevens,
Minnesota; Esch, Wisconsin; Town
send, Michigan; Knowland, California;
Hubbard, West Virginia; Adamson,
Georgia; Richardson, Alabama, and
Bartlett, Georgia. Representatives
Morse, Wisconsin; Humphrey, Wash
ington; Lee, Georgia; Conner, Iowa,
and Loud, Michigan, also are members
of the party, as is J. F. Bryan, the
clerk of the committee.

Permitted to Whistle in Church.

Harry P. Bosom OF Reading, as his
friends in Worcester say, whistled in
church while attending divine worship
in that city recently. When asked
about it Mr.. Bosom said he was not
asleep and explained his action by
telling the following story: 1.-THE min
lister said just before the contribution
that any one who put so cents or more
into the contribution box was entitled
and expected to whistle. As the col
lectors were on their way the whist
ling came from all parts of the room

Larger Income for University.

GdI Yet IuCOIIIG IOI OIINCIStlys
That the rapid growth and develop
ment of the University of Wisconsin
is proving greater than it's resources,
and that there is urgent need of imme-
date provision for an increase in its
income were shown in the biennial re-
port of President Charles r. Van Hise
The large increase in the attendance
during the last two years, together
with the prospect of an enrolment OF
over $500 students this year, the re-
port points out, makes necessary an
increase in the Institutional force, as
we'll as important additions to the
buildings and equipment. Former
Gov. w. d. Hoard, president of the re-
gents, in sending the report to Gov.
Davidson, calls attention to the fact
that the opportunities of the UNIVERSE
ty for service in the upbuilding of the
state in every way are still far beyond
the institutions resources. To enable
the university approximately to meet
the most pressing needs in order to
perform for the students and the state
the work that it should do, President
Van Hise shows, will require an in
crease in the permanent income. He
proposes to bring this about by q
change from the present two-seyenths
of mill tax to three-eighths of a mill
tax. The permanent educational i'm.
provement appropriation of 100000 a
year for a period of five years, Presi
dent Van Hise proposes, should be en-
larged to 100000 a year and extended
to seven years, in order to provide for
the pressing needs of new buildings,
to buy needed apparatus and books
and necessary additional land.

Louisiana in Plea to Governor.

Alarmed over report that the state
Of Wisconsin might bar Louisiana
strip and molasses from the markets
of this commonwealth because diox-
ide is used in their manufacture, the
governor of Louisiana has sent Gov.
Davidson several kilograms urging
him not to shut out the southern prod
ucts. Gov. Davidson replied that he had
not contemplated such action, but il
later it was found upon proper exam
ination that the Louisiana molasses
and strip did contain substances de-
leterious to health he would act.

Salt Cows Often.

Dairy cows should be sailed often
at least every second day. Salt
gives them appetite, aids digestion
and assimilation of foods and TENDS
to increase the milk flow. Cows that
are not sailed regularly often take
more than is good for them when a
supply is furnished, resulting in
bowel disorder and other physical de-
rangement.

Edward Seymour, earl Of Hertford,
in the days of Queen Elisabeth married
as his third wife beautiful young
widow who had been engaged to Sir
George Rodney, but whom she fitted
for Lord Hertford. Sir George Rodney
travelled to Amesbury and. putting up
at the inn, awaited the Homecoming Of
the earl and countess, who were ex-
pected to arrive the next day. The In
fatuated man wrote a dying ode to his
tickle love. using his blood an ink, and
upon the arrival Of tho bridal party he
went out to meet them. Lady Hert-
ford was agitated and terrified at tho
appearance of her old lover. and be-
fore Sir George could be prevented he
drew his sword and. falling on It, ex.
pired at Lady Hertford's feet. The
countess presented bell to Amesbury
church perhaps as slight penance for
her fickleness. The inscription runs:
