A MONSTER DAIRY
SHOW At FAIR
Appeals to All Wisconsin Farm
ers to Aid.
LARGEST CELEBRATION HELD
Butter and Cheese Shown VIII Be
Sold at the End of the Fair and
Proceeds RENTED to the
Senders.

Madison-The determination of the
state board of agriculture to extend
its dairy show, covering the fields of
the breeder. milk producing dairy,
cheesemaker, buttermaker, city milk
distributor, milk condenser and eyap-
orator, machinery manufacturer, pack
age manufacturer and the educational
side of the dairy industry as exempli-
fed by the University of Wisconsin,
has become statewide subject
among farmers.
Laurens E. Scott of Stanley, one of
the best known and most progressive
dairymen of northern Wisconsin. will
be in charge of the dairy exposition.
"The Wisconsin state fair will offer
the dairymen of Wisconsin the largest
dairy show held in the west this
year." he said, after an inspection of
the dairy building at the state fair
grounds. ut will be the largest and
best advertisement Of Wisconsin's
dairy products and dairy possibilities
that has ever been brought together.
1t will cover the field more thoroughly
from the educational point of view
than did the dairy show last year, be-
cause we have the cooperation of the
entire faculty and student force of
the University Of Wisconsin, and all
of its resources back of US.
I am therefore appealing to every
buttermaker, cheesemaker, dairy
farmer, milk distributor and business
man identified with the dairy industry
to participate in the advantages to be
gained from the state fair dairy show
If every butter and cheesemaker in
the state would send a sample of his
product, we can easily make it the
biggest and best show of dairy prod
ucts ever seen in this country
I'VE are offering in cash premiums
$2,O65 for dairy products, pro-rated
among all exhibits that score 80
points or above, so that each ex-
hibit of merit will win enough to pay
the entry fee and express, and pos
sibly little bonus for the sender.
Each exhibit will be carefully weighed
and checked, and will be sold to the
highest bidder at the close Of the fair.
The returns will be RENTED to the
owner SO that he will run no risk of
loss in sending a sample of his work
to the fair; and, best of all, he will
get hts score and kindly criticism
from expert judges"

WHlTECAPS FLAY A PREACHER.
Mob Whips Holiness Pasto"-Order
Him to Leave Country.

Him to Leave Country.
Parkersburg, w. Va. - The story
of the whipping of a preacher by
whitecaps and the burning of his
church building by them because they
did not like the kind of faith he
preached, has just been brought to
Parkersburg from Granville, Calhoun
county. A mob of about fifty white
caps dragged Rev. Scott Williams.
Holiness preacher, from his home at
Dry Ridge, that county, at one o'clock
in the morning and whipped him Sc
verely after tying his body to a tree.
Two of his neighbors went to his
rescue, but they were recognized by
the crowd and given good whippings
and told to go back to bed. Then the
Holiness tabernacle, in which Doctor
Williams has been holding successful
meetings. was burned to the ground.
Doctor Williams says that the white
caps told him that he must leave the
county within ten days or that they
would get him and kill him Williams
says he will not leave the county and
will remain. His wife is i'll at the
home of neighbors because the white
cappers tied a pillow over her head
and almost smothered her to keep her
from making any outcry.

Special Session Might Be Called.


The extraordinary session contem-
plated in a resolution adopted by the
Wisconsin legislature of 1909 is still
possibility. Straws indicating that
sentiment inclined in this direction
are becoming more numerous at the
state capitol and the impression is
gaining Roadway that pressure upon
the governor to exercise his preroga-
tive may have the desired effect
Some time ago it was made plain
that there was need for the special
session, if only to pass upon the vari-
GUS proposed constitutional amend
ments which will go on the ballot at
the November election, and which al
ready have passed one session of the
legislature. These provide a means
for appropriating state aid for high
ways, state control of forests and wa
ter powers and special section Civ
ing the legislature the right to legis-
late especially for the capital city.
1t has just been made plain that
supporters of the movement to secure
state control of forests and water
powers are not the only ones who
want the proposed amendment taken
up at special session. The interests
opposed to the idea also would like to
have the question taken up by the
present legislature, feeling that they
will have a better chance to defeat
it through the present membership
than they will through the members
to be elected this fall. They believe
that the next aggregation of solons
will contain a larger. percentage of So
called radicals" with whom the idea
of state control of anything and every
thing is chief hobby.

Compact Means Much.

The full import of an agreement en-
tered into about three weeks ago, be-
tween the Wisconsin Federation of
Labor and the Wisconsin branch of
the American Society of Equity, is
just beginning to dawn upon those
most interested in the subjects likely
to come before the next legislature
for consideration. This agreement
virtually will restrict members of
both bodies to buy from and sell to
each other, and it will precipitate in
the next legislature a fight for the
repeal of the restraint of trade
feature of the Wisconsin antitrust
law.
The momentous character of this
movement will be more fully realized
when it is known that with $4,000
members Of the Equity society and
$4,000 of the Federation of Labor, its
hackers represent large percentage
of the voters among the farmers and
the laboring men.

LACK OF MONEY
Was a Godsend in This Case.

1t is not always that lack Of
Eoney is a benefit.
A lady of Green Forest, Ark, owes
her health to the fact that she could
not pay in advance the fee demand
ed by a specialist to treat her for
stomach trouble In telling of her
case she says:

ent physicians during 10 years of
stomach trouble. Lately | called on

have been magical. I now sleep well
at night, something I had not done
for long time; the pain in my stom-

81 dreaded to quit coffee, because
every time I had tried to stop it suf-
