Doubl. Income of Wisconsin Farms.


A system to make every farm In

double and triple the income of at
least three-fourths of the farms In the
state, is the plan of d. H. Otis. Madi.
son, professor of farm management at
the University of Wisconsin. who is
in La Crosse.
The plan of Mr.. Otis is result of
the realization of the fact that the in.
creased population in this country will
make the raising of greater amount
of farm produce to the acre a neces-
sity.
Details Of the plan, which is to get
statistics from farmers on incomes
and expenses. have been worked out
and it is the plan of Mr.. Otis to get
the figures by townships. The La
Crosse County Agricultural school has
been interested in the plan and ]. L.
Pettingill, one of the directors of the
county institution, will call meeting
of the agricultural school board to lay
plans for the students to assist in
gathering the required figures.
The superintendent of the La Crosse
county school, Prof. A. A. Johnson,
thinks it to be one Of the greatest
moves for the betterment of the Wis
consin farmer ever started.

Miniature Aeroplanes, Ball

The inventive Los Angeles small boy
and girl is deeply engaged Just now
in problems of aeronautics. Kite time
has arrived and marbles and tops are
discarded for the enthusiastic building
of aeroplanes and kites-box kites,
tailless kites, star kites. dragons,
birds" "tandems," "windmills' or
any one of a score of other designs.
April is kite day." when every
boy or girl who attends grammar
school in the city, or who has attend
ed during the past year, is eligible to
enter the kite tournaments on Airing
ton Heights, which will be under the
direction of Charles nj. Miller, super
visor of manual training in the city
schools.
There will be ten classes in which
kites may be entered. one class re-
served for hot-air balloons and two
classes for miniature aeroplanes. Each
class is subdivided to allow for sew
eraI differences in detail, so that there
are in all forty-seven different chances
to capture an award. No prizes other
than diplomas are awarded, but judg-
ing from last years tournament, gold
loving CUPS seven feet high could not
insure more jealous guarding of dragon
and trolley kites from rival eyes, or
more strenuous rivalry in producing
unique designs. The sloyd teachers of
the city schools will act as judges.
Although the program, as outlined
below, seems rather long to be con-
fined to the two hours between 2 and
on the Saturday afternoon scheduled,
Mr.. Miller gives assurance that every
facility to aid the boys in finding the
proper place on the grounds for their
class Will be provided and there will
be plenty of judges. so that all events
can be run off without delay.

SAYS MORAL CHARACTER is

T. E. Gbbon Tells Polytechnic High

torium in the Polytechnic building yes

ties and advantages of Los Angeles.
I'VE should be proud" he said, ito
live in a city which has come to be
regarded by all students of politics and
government as the most magnificent
in the world. 1t is an Illustration of
the value of moral character in a city.
In the years between 1890 and 1900, be-
fore the earthquake and fire, San
Francisco increased a little more than
16 per cent in population while Los
Angeles in the same period increased
more than 100 per cent. San Fran
cisco is a Wide-open toWn-notoriously
so-and before the fire there was one
saloon to every $50 inhabitants there.
Los Angeles has fewer saloons than
any other city of it's size in the Unit
ed States. 1t has been called a long
hair town, yet l submit the fact that
Los Angeles has more theaters with a
larger seating capacity than any city
of its size, which is evidence that its
people believe in amusements.
