New Weight Law Expected.

Madson.-A more stringent state
law governing weights and measures
will be advocated before the next leg
islature. declared Prof Leonard 5.
Smith, state sealer, before the Madison
Woman's club, at 4 meeting at which
the principal speaker was j. c. Jansen,
chief inspector of weights and meas
ures for Milwaukee, who exhibited a
collection of confscated scales and
measures. Prof. Smith stated the pro-
posed law will provide that any weight
of any kind, if it does not have upon
it the sealer's stamp. approved, whether
O. X. or otherwise, has laid the owner
liable to arrest for a misdemeanor. The
passage of such a law would make
necessary at once the creation OF city
sealer in every municipality not now
having such an official.

STATE POPULATION 2,333,86O
Little Growth Shown in Agricultural
Sections, but Increase for State
is 1917 Per Cent.

Madison.-The announcement is
made from the census Office at Wash
ington that the population of the
state of Wisconsin is 1888, $50. in
crease of 2G4,S1S, or 1871 per cent.
This increase is sufficient for one
more congressman.
The population of Wisconsin by
counties will not be compiled. 1t is
apparent that some of the agricul-
tural communities of the state will
show practically no gain over the
census of ten years ago, and that
other agricultural sections will show
loss.
In the last decade Milwaukee
gained 81 per cent, or nearly three
times the percentage of gain for the
state at large. Outside of Milwaukee
the gain for the state was 1926.

WhX Do They.

Why women like the baldheaded
man it is somewhat difficult to define.
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim-
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
of youth.
Usually successful.
A man OF property
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He Is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals Of marriage so
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss 1t.
A doctor welcomes badness when 1t
comes to him. as 1t is sign of Sc
datencss and dignified learning, which
invariably increases his practise.
