BUILT UP GREAT BUSINESS
Frederick Mayer Boot and Shoe Com
pany Monument to German
Thrift and Industry.

That the key to real business success is
often based on a sound principle, rather
than money, is best Illustrated by the re-
production of the following biographical
sketch of Frederick Mayer, founder of the
f. Mayer Boot & Shoe Company, repro
duced from an issue of the German
American National Alliance:
Frederick Mayer, founder of the fac
tories at Milwaukee and Seattle now bear
ing his name, came to this country from
Niernstein, Hessen Darmstadt, in May,
1851, and immediatel. proceeded to Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin, where he entered the en-
ploy of r. Suhm as a journeyman shoe
maker.
The spirit that prompted him to seek
his fortune in the new world was soon
responsible for another change, and in 1852,
a year later, he embarked in business on
his own accord, making boots and shoes to
order as only a German apprenticed arti-
san knows how. Subsequently a stock of
goods was carried and retail business con-
Quoted until 1880, when the manufacture of
shoes was engaged in at wholesale to the
trade,
In 1890 the business was well established,
the foundation firmly laid and the policy
well determined. From that time on the
growth was more rapid. The capacity of
the present Mayer factories at Milwaukee
and Seattle is 5000 pair per day, giving en-
ployment to an army of people, paying an
nually over six hundred thousand dollars in
wages, and employing sixty-6ve statesmen
who travel "a states in the interest of
Mayer shoes.
Frederick Mayer died on March l6, 1893,
after building up large and successful
George p. Mayer, Fred J. Mayer and Adam
J. Mayer, who, by rigidly maintaining the
policy of the founder, have succeeded in
bringing the business up to its present
magnitude, where it stands as a monument
of German thrift and industry.

scavengers," says Mr.. Osgood, land

them even more than raw meat. They
many times hoped about the campfire,

OWN EXPENSES

GOV. DAVIDSON GETS OPINION
Those Who Attend Conventions Out
side of the State Cannot Be Reir1-
bursed, Is the Opinion of
Attorney General.

Madison.-"That officers of the
state. or employees, even those whose
travelling expenses outside the state
are provided for while in the dis
charge of their regular duties, may
not attend conventions or other meet
ings held outside the state and be
reimbursed, therefor, unless there is
specific statutory authority to attend
such conventions or meetings at the
expense of the state, or unless au-
thorized so to do by the governor;
in other words, the simple fact that
expenses outside the state may be
paid does not of itself authorize the
payment of expenses for attending
conventions or other meetings outside
the state"
Such is the opinion of Attorney
General Frank L. Gilbert, in response
to an inquiry made by Gov. Davidson.
The president of the university had
requested Gov Davidson to authorize
the adviser of women of the uniyer-
sity to attend a convention in Chicago
and the executive put the question to
the attorney general as to whether
he was authorized to make such an
appointment; and, if SO, could the
travelling expenses of such person be
audited and paid by the state. The
governors question goes farther IN
that it asks if chapter 523, of the laws
of 1909 permits the execution to au-
thorize the payment of expenses of
Il Of hn CT q
or of the university to attend any con-
vention outside the state, at the ex-
pense of the state.
Prior to the enactment of this law
by the legislature of 1909 it had grown
to be the practice of state officials
and employees and officers and en-
ployes of the university to attend all
sorts of conventions, and receive COM
pensation from the state for their
travelling expenses. 1t was to stop
this practice that the recent legisla-
ture passed the act in question.
The attorney general points out
that the attendance upon meetings
and conventions is not to be consid-
cred as the business of the state UNI
less specifically authorized by the gov
ernor. "And this does not mean,
says the attorney general, that the
governor may appoint any person,
whether an officer of the state or not,
to attend any meeting or convention
at the expense of the state. 1t sim
ply means that where travelling ex-
penses outside the state are already
provided by law, or suitable appro-
priation, and no specific statutory au-
thority exists for the payment of eX-
penses of such officer while attending
meetings or conventions, the gov
ernor, in the exercise of his sound
judgment and discretion, and having
in mind the best interests and welfare
of the state. may authorize such Off
cial to attend such meetings outside
the state in the line of their work
and that the expense of such attend
ance may then be proper matter for
audit by the secretary of state"

Indian Ford Dam Arguments.

Assistant Attorney General Titus,
who is appearing for the state in the
suit brought against Pliny Norcross of
GAINESVILLE for the removal of the In.
dian Ford dam in the Rock river. near
Edgerton. says arguments viii be
made before Judge Grimm January 7.
Final evidence has been taken. This
litigation dates back to 1905 when
twoscore farmers petitioned Attorney
General Sturdevant to bring suit in
the name of the state for the removal
of the dam or the abatement of the
nuisance of overflow.

fication of varieties, and on accuracy
of awarding four prizes among eight
entries in each of five classes for diff

Big Poultry Show.

Big Poultry Show.
Poultry breeders throughout the
central and western states are ex-
pressing much interest in the state
show to be held by the Wisconsin
Poultry association at the College of
Agriculture of the University of Wis
consin, January % to %. Inquiries
show that leading poultrymen from
adjoining states will attend the show.
The mid-western branch of the
American Poultry association, which
includes pou1trymen from Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, at a recent meeting in Chicago
appropriated 5000 which will be
awarded for special prizes to the
poultry show at Madison during the
season of 1910-11 While these prizes
will not be available for the show in
January, 1910, the action constitutes a
recognition which is source of con-
siderable qualification on the part of
the local management.
The prize list includes classes for
all varieties of chickens, turkeys,
ducks and geese. The judging will be
done by the score card system, and
substantial cash premiums will be Of
fered in all classes. The premium
list will soon be distributed by L. r.
Rowley of Madison, secretary OF the
Wisconsin Poultry association.
Construction of buildings for the
poultry department at the College of
Agriculture is proceeding as rapidly
as weather conditions will permit.
Twelve brooder houses have been
completed, and the incubator and OF,
fee building and breeding pens are
now in process of erection. 1t is
hoped that the buildings will be in
condition to receive some of the fowls
which will be brought in at the time
of the poultry show.
Courses in poultry huSbandry Of
fered this fall have met with hearty
response by students. The course in
poultry management was elected by
81 students of the long and middle
courses in agriculture, while 172 stu
dents in the short course are studying
the subject.

Railroad Rates Decided.

ndIIGOdU ndICS OCCiOSOs
The Northwestern railway was or
dered by the railroad commission to
refund to the Heineman Lumber Com
pany $57.84, the amount being excess
charges on a shipment of five cars of
lumber from Rib Falls to Wausau,
distance of 1921 miles. The claim
was based upon the fact that similar
shipments for the same or greater
distances had been made by the de-
PENDANT company at a less rate than
that charged in the present instance,
viz, five cents per 100 pounds There
was some irregularity in the billing
in the case and claim by the petit
toner that it was the purpose of the
lumber company to reship the product
made from the lumber over the de-
PENDANT road.
The commissioners criticise some
what the circumstances of the case
as they appeared, but awards the
claims upon the facts as presented,
but disclaims a purpose to make such
facts basis of future rulings. The
commission finds that the rate charged
was excessive and that a reasonable
rate would have been three cents.
In the case of the Menasha Paper
Company against the 500 line sim
liar order was made, ordering a re-
fund of 1926 on a carload of pulp
wood shipped from Rhinelander to
Labyrinth at charge of 81a cents per
100 pounds. The commission finds
that five cents is a reasonable rate.

The other story is from the
Youths Companion and may be
quoted in full. A milliner who
works In large city says that one
day a woman came into the store
very much excited and wanted the
trimming on her new hat changed.
She said 1t had been trimmed on the
