BLAME FOR THE PROBE.

1t is said that Senator Stephen
son believes that Senator La Fol
lette has been responsible for the
investigation and other troubles
which Senator Stephenson has had
in Madison the past winter, and he
intends that the senator shall suffer
for his activity.
1t is said that Mr.. Stephenson is
just as eager for the campaign
against Senator LaFollette as he
was over his own candidacy and that
he will make a fight against La
Toilette if allowed to carry out his
plans, which will long be remember
ed in this state.
1t is the plans for this fight which
are to be discussed at the coming
conference of the Stephenson forces.
The likelihood is that this confer
ence will be held in Marinette, as it
is stated that the Marinette sena-
tor is anxious to meet his friends
there, and at the conference there
will be in attendance as many of
the legislators who supported Mr.
Stephenson as can be collected for
the meeting. 1t will be found how
ever, that some of the assemblymen
who voted for Mr. Stephenson will
not participate in the conference

POTATO GROWERS ACTIVE

The Potato Growers Department,
A. S. of E. is now in the field and
will push the same vigorous cam
paign of organization, pooling and
pledging as has proven so successful
for the tobacco growers, the cotton
growers, the wheat growers and the
wool growers. Acreage for many
thousands of bushels of potatoes has
already been pledged to the associa-
ton. Some of the largest shipping
stations have already approved the
Equity Plan and will sell their en-

labor in the cities so there will be
special demand for potatoes bear
ing the Farmers Union Label

This office is in receipt of copy
of the publication published in Chi

which the June number contained
detailed and illustrated account of
Thomas A. Edison's new Cement
House.. We read it with great pleas
ure, and if Mr.. Edison's accomplish
ment in this respect is fully realized
We are certainly entering the &C.

ing out moulds and models for this
house has taken time and patience
as we'll as money, but he now feels
that he has it mastered. The house
can be built for $1,000 not counting
of course the first cost of securing
moulds, etc.

Work is a great blessing. You can

say that you were fortunate in your
boyhood days because you were COM
PEELED to work. Because you can
not get power to do things save by

with the Granger family when we
crossed over on south road to Ru-
dOlph station and came down the
Rudolph road and stopped at Les
sig's farm, where we found Mr. and
Mrs. Lessig and daughter enjoying
the comforts of their beautiful brick
home on their farm. Here we all
found pleasure in a social visit with
the members of this family who are
old settlers of this section in Wood
county. This old couple are enjoy
ing life both able to be around the
house yet they are quite feeble.
While here we were greatly inter-
ested in the Lessig boys den, which
is furnished and decorated with deer
heads, fur robes, etc., the result of
their own killing. The rugs are
beautifully mounted and lay upon
hard wood floor, while the deer heads
are artistically mounted and taste
fully placed in various parts of the
room. The boys take great delight
in this part of the house as they use
it as an office, do their correspon-
Idence here and take their ease and
rest in a hammock and on a lounge
that is also found here.
We returned home at 900 o'clock
having Travelled at least fifteen miles
and enjoyed an excellent visit with
two of the old and respected fam
lilies in this section in Wood county.
Such trips are refreshing and delight
full and do one great good. We are
thankful for this opportunity.

an automobile trip into the country
Sunday evening after supper. We

about seven miles from this city. We
found Mr.. and Mrs. James Granger
enjoying pretty good health for peo-

FROM WISCONSIN
ASSEMBLY

The Chicago Scandinavian has the
following compliment for our local
Assemblyman, Geo. P. Hambrecht, in
a recent issue:
George. P Hambrecht of Grand
Rapids, Wood county, is the one
man of our Assembly members who
has been the keenest, most right
eous and conservative of our five
representatives on the Investigation
committee. He speaks fluently
with a clear, ringing voice, and he
is a well posted man. His bill to
increase the number of University
regents with another woman mem
Der was defeated, but he was able
to have the vote reconsidered and
passed by glory. A few of us who
had begun the war on the Queen on
the other bill understood the situa-
ton and helped him the best we
knew how and the Queen" too
understood, for all the old students
in the Assembly hall got on their
metal, and with all the parliamentary
tricks and speachmaking known
tried to defeat the measure, it did
not help them, for Mr.. Hambrecht
was much the strongest-not even
a steam roller could crush him.
81 wish to call the attention of
the people of this state to this man.
He has a future before him, and he
ls-as we may understand by his
name-of German blood, a re "orm-
ed, friendly republican who has
been waxing warm against all the
rottenness that can be seen in every
crack and crevice in this state since
the honest years of reformation.
