Farmers Bulletin Ready.

The twenty-first annual Wisconsin
Farmers Institute Bulletin has been
issued by the state board of agricul.
ture. Sixty thousand copies of this
book have been issued which will be
distributed free at the SO institutes
held throughout this state this winter
The legislature of 1895 recognized the
worth of the bulletin by authorizing
the superintendent of Institutes to
turn over 5000 bound copies to the
superintendent of public instruction,
that copy might be placed in each
circulating school library. The legis-
lature of 1906-'O7 again recognized it's
value by amending the above men
toned law and ordering that bulletins
be sent out to the school libraries of
the state direct from the Farmers
institute office In addition to this a
limited number is sent to cheese fac
tory and creamery men of this state,
and to farmers in localities not
reached by Institutes,

TRUCE IN MILK WAR.
Price of Eight Cents Gallon to Hold
Four Months.

Milwaukee.-A truce has been de-
clared in the milk war between the
Milwaukee Cream and Milk Shippers
association of Waukesha and the local
dealers, on the price of milk, following
q meeting between the executive COM
mittee of the association and several
Of the larger Milwaukee milk dealers.
The shippers will continue to ship
milk to this city for a period of four
months from January !, at a price an
ight-gallon can that was agreed upon
at the meeting, but which has not been
made public Contracts have been
made by the local dealers to receive
milk from shippers in Illinois, but
owing to the agreement reached, this
supply will not be received. Despite
the temporary settlement Of the diff
cultiea, 1t is probable that the Wauke-
sha shippers and other members Of
the association will not ship the for
mer amount of milk to Milwaukee as
several contracts have been made with
independents Post Office Inspector
Ralph Bird will investigate the send
ing Of a threatening letter to milk
man near Waldo, in which it was said
that the farmers house would be
blown up by dynamite if he persisted
in sending milk to Milwaukee.

MUNICIPAL PLANT FAILS.
AIgoma Light and Water Works Has
Deficit.

Algoma.-The city of Algoma finds
that the municipal light and water
plant is running behind and is appeal
ing to it's citizens to come to the aid
of the institution. For the year 1907
the city paid for water and light the
sum of $3,658, while private persons
and corporations paid $4,763 approx
irnately The cost of running the
plant, labor, fuel, minor repairs and in
cidentals is about $40 per day, or
$1,000 a year. Thus it is shown that
there is but $1,121 to pay the interest
on the bonded Indebtedness of $4,000
at five per cent, which is 81 800, which
would leave a deficit of $378.37, saying
nothing about the money that was ex-
pended on the intake pipe last year.
This pipe has to be taken up and re-
laid and conservative persons estimate
the cost in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
An appeal is made to citizens not to
protest at the high cost of water and
light

Lenroot UnfoIds Plan.

Irvine l.. Lenroot has announced
his candidacy for congress from this
district in opposition to Congressman
John j. Jenkins. There had been talk
to the effect that Lenroot would be a
candidate for United States senator
to succeed Isaac Stephenson, although
it was expected that he would run for
congress if he did not go after the
senatorship. Some of Lenroot's friends
have been insisting for some time
that he announce his position. Senator
Owen was in Superior and it is sup
posed that the announcement came
after conferences among local leaders
and the state senator. State Senator
George B. Hudnall is said to aspire to
the post sought by LenroOt, and Con-
gresham Jenkins is a candidate for
reelection. 1t is now assumed that
Stephenson will be a candidate for
reelection. Lenroot's announcement
gives weight to persistent reports that
Stephenson would not be satisfied with
the short term, the Superior man only
recently having held long conferences
at Washington with both Stephenson
and La Follettte.

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget Gathered by Our
Special Correspondent at Madison.

Madison.-By disseminating to do
ance companies having in force any
policies issued or delivered in this
state must make a regular annual re-
port to the insurance department as if
they had continued to do business in
the state This is the Interpretation
placed by State Insurance Commits
sioner Beedle on chapter 584, laws of
1907 This report will cover all OF
the information that is required from
a company doing business in the state.
In discussing his Interpretation of the
new law, Commissioner Beedle said:
Heretofore companies which have
withdrawn from the state have
not filed their statement or annual re-
port with the commissioner of insur-
a1ce after their withdrawal. The in
surance department has had frequent
requests for information from Wis
consin policy holders of companies
which have withdrawn. The depart
ment has been obliged to answer that
these companies did not file any re-
pun, duu uSHCS IL W. o " SlFO
the information. To remedy this con-
dition chapter 584 of the laws of 1907
was enacted at the last session Of the
legislature. This chapter requires
every insurance company having in
force any policies issued or delivered
in this state to furnish the annual re-
port and also a gain and loss exhibit.
There is no reason why policy holders
in this state should not have all the
information that can be given them by
the commissioner, whether the COM
panies continue to write new business
in this state or not. The theory and
intent of the law is that it is as i'm
portant to protect the policy holders
who are already in the companies as
it is to protect the policy holders about
to come into the company. These COM
panies which have retired continue to
collect large amounts from policy
holders in Wisconsin. They may also
be sued in the state by service upon
the insurance commissioner or upon
some attorney resident of the state, as
long as any policy issued in the state
remains in force"

Ranid Rise.

"Pa," said Mrs. Hardapple, as she
opened the letter, "the man who ran
over our old crippled cow with his
automobile wants to know how much
she was worth
Tell him about six dollars"
drawled Hiram Hardapple. Let me
see, it was that poor village doctor,
wasn't it,"
"No, Hiram; it was city Teller"
"Was, Ell? Well, by heck, tell him
she was a first-class critter and worth
every cent of $50"
"And come to think of it, Hiram,
his automobile was almost as long as
a steamboat, with glass windows, six
lights and a horn that you could hear
five miles"
What? Then write and tell him
the COW he killed was a genuine i'm.
ported prize-winning Holstein and
worth $500, and if he doesn't settle UP
every cent in cash I'll put the law on
him."

Sites for State Parks.

T. E. Birmingham, chairman of the
state park board, has returned from
trip around the state devoted to the
arousing of sentiment in favor of the
park proposition. The commission
has not selected any definite sites,
but has made decision upon four
places that would give the most ideal
surroundings. They will recommend
that the state establish parks in the
localities named One site is Door
county and here the committee gives
wide latitude for selection, as no
particular spot is favored beyond an
other. Another site to be recon-
mended is at DEVILS lake, where there
are about $500 acres available Still
another ideal place is at Blue Mounds,
near Mount Horeb, in Dane county,
fourth site that would be worthy OF
consideration, the commission be-
lieves, is known as Plattemounds,
near Platteville, in Grant county.
