The decision of the state fire marsh
al that the storage of large quantities
of oil in a thickly populated residence
district is not menace to the sur
rounding property comes as hard
blow to the residents who have been
fighting to secure the removal of the
Standard Oil tanks from their present
location. The City Attorney has so
far been, unable to find any law under
which proceedings can be started
against the company to force it's re-
moval unless the tanks are declared to
be dangerous by the state fire marshal
and that official does not at present APP
pear to be inclined to interfere in this
matter in any way. The house owners
who arc interested in this fight, however,
declare that the check given them by
the State Fire Marshal is only temper
AIRY and that they propose to keep on
fighting until some way is found by
which a decided improvement in the
conditions in their neighborhood can
be secured even to the extent of put
ting up their own money for legal ex-
penses if the city authorities find
themselves unable to do anything for
them. AS a matter of fact none of
the attorneys who have looked into the
case is very sanguine that these prop
erty owners have very much of a case
against the oil company or much of
chance to get what they are after,
but most people will admire the prin-
ciple of standing up for what they
believe to be their rights, shown by
these property owners. If there was
more of this sort of thing shown by
other property owners abuses which
have become so common as to no long
err excite any remark would be cor
rected in short order.

CUT CORN FOR FEED.
Farmers of Bristol Cut Corn and Stack
1t Like Hay For Cow Feed.

1t Like Hay For Cow Feed.
Some of the farmers in the town of
Bristol Notwithstanding the recent
rains have given up hope of securing
corn crop and they have gone into
their fields with mowers and are cutting
down the growing corn to be used for
cow feed. The corn is being handled
like hay. Picked up with hay loader
it is being placed in stacks and used
for feeding the cattle. The farmers
claim that the chance of the corn matur-
ing is not as great as they could de-
sire and that by cutting it now it will
furnish feed instead of fall pasture.
1t can be said however, that lots of corn
in the town of Bristol will be allowed
to stand until the time of the regular
harvest and some of the farmers are
hopeful of a fair crop.

question now before the people is the
conservation of our present population
and capital and showing both that
there is within the state unequaled OPP
portunity for the investment of labor
and money. There are many problems
to be solved, looking ITO the more
speedy and successful development of
parent at all meetings Of landowners,
that the thought uppermost in their
tiers, and next to that, but always
subordinate to it, the getting of more
settlers. Discrimination is constantly
urged in order that our new settlers
may be only those who will succeed.
It is the unanimous opinion that we
want only successful and contented set
tiers.
To this end it is held that people
brought to this state should first be so
thoroughly convinced that they cannot
do better elsewhere to the end that
after having come to- Wisconsin they
may not be persuaded by the Elusive
literature and fancy stories of the day
that they should have gone to some
other section.
In this connection it may not be
amiss to say that advocates and special
pleaders for other regions will protest
against comparisons though based upon
government statistics when those sta
tistics favor Wisconsin and urge that
we adopt methods best calculated to
play into the hands of the exploiters
of other regions where fairy tales are
pitted against our facts and where
the interests of the homeseeker are
subordinate to the commercialism of the
game.
Already these special pleaders are in
the field with plausible and voluble
effort to persuade us from our fixed
policy that whoever gets the home
seeker must do so with fact and not
with fiction.
This is no attack on other states as
these special advocates would have. be-
lieved, for every state wants the facts
presented. 1t is believed that this eff
fort to place development upon a high
plane will be applauded by everyone
who believes in "square deal,o and
that those most entitled to a square
deal are the families seeking new
homes.
There is no reason why by develop
ment our state should not be wonder
fully enriched, that the assessable prop
erty should not be enormously increas-
ed, the state S revenue greatly en-
HANGED to the end that, among other
institutions, our agricultural college and
experiment stations may be put upon
a. footing that will enable them to
broaden and extend their work of in
calculable worth and keep advanced
agriculture in Wisconsin in the lead
notwithstanding the fact that other
states are now giving us a. lively race.

Charles Schneider arrested in Chicago
on a charge of numbering his wife is
not the son Of the late Philip Schneider
of the town of Paris or the brother-in-
law of Nicholas schmitt of that town.
The similarity of the name Of Schneider
to the former Paris man and the fact
that he too is now living in Chicago
has caused some people to believe that
the man charged with murder was one
of the members of the old Paris family.
