made Of board Of hard wood about
an inch thick shaped in a curve, and
on the outside Is nailed a piece of
strap or iron with holes in the end for
hitching the tugs. An old leather har-
ness tug will answer the purpose al
most as we'll as the iron, but of course
will not last so long. A singletree of
this kind should be made just wide
enough SO a horse can walk between
the tugs comfortably without rubbing
his legs against them.

DISCUSS PERRY MEMORIAL
Members of Commission Tell Legis-
Iature Why State Should Make
$4,000 Appropriation.

Madison.-The Perry victory cen
fore the legislature in joint session.
Commodore George w. Worthington,
who stated the aim of the proposed
celebration, was followed by w. P.
Huntington, secretary Of the commits
sion, who told the legislators that
the central feature would be the cree
ton of a building at Put-in-Bay is
land to furnish Judgment for light
house, weather bureau, a wireless
telegraph outfit and lifesaving sta
ton. The wireless, Mr.. Huntington
said, would cover the entire chain of
lakes.
Mr.. Huntington maintained that
Wisconsin had a vital interest in the
celebration, as without Perry's vic
tory the great northwest territory,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and Iowa, would have
remained British territory at the con-
clusion of the war of 1912.

The TiIjip In Pots

Some varieties of tulips are well
adapted to the flower pot. The Gu
siana grows to a height Of Is or 20
inches, with a slender stem The
leaves are long and narrow and the
flower sometimes measures two
inches across. This variety is of the
funnel form, with bright lemon-yellow
flowers, with light shading of green or
white, sometimes streaked with pink.
It is very fragrant, and when properly
cultivated is one of the most beautiful
Of all the tulip family.
The tulip is easy to cultivate, as 1t
thriyes we'll in either heavy or light
soil. 1t does better, however, In rath-
er light soil, well drained and fairly
rich. Those grown in heavy, black
soil produce smaller flowers and the
colors are not nearly SO bright.

TUBERCULIN BILL is READY
Ass embIYman Bichier's Measure Pro-
vldes for Public AppraisaIs and
Adjustment of Costs.

Madison. = Assemblyman Bichler.
Of Ozaukee county has put in his long
expected tuberculin test bill and 1t.
was referred to the committee on
purity of commodities The bill takes
away the present compulsory feature
Of the law and makes several other
changes, the clause relating to ap-
praisal Of animals being one Of the
more important.
The bill calls for the appointment
by the county boards annually of one
appraiser in each city, village and
town, who shall be competent judges
of cattle values. When animals are
condemned, the livestock sanitary
board is required to submit to the
owner a list of five appraisers from
which the owner selects three to make
the appraisal The value of the con-
demned animals is limited to SlOO
for pedigreed cattle, SIS for non-ped-
igreed and $50 for common cattle.
The appraisers receive So day from
the county. Full value is returned
by the state if tubercular LESSONS are
not found and three-fOurths the value,
not to exceed $50, if they are found
after slaughter.
The single feature in which the bill
is compulsory, has to do with cattle
sold at public auctions. The Bichler
bill requires sellers to inform buy
ers whether the cattle have reacted
under the tuberculin test within
given period, but it contains no re-
quirement for test before private

ROOSEVELT GIVES
WISCONSIN PRAISE
EX-PRES!OENT LAUDS OFFICIALS
AND INSTITUTIONS OF STATE
IN SPEECHES AT MADISON.
HAS WORD FOR lAFOLLETTE
Breaks Silence on Badger Senator
Maintained in Previous Wisconsin
Speeches-True Wisconsin Well
come Given Distinguished Visitor.

Madison.-"I have a great deal
more TO learn from Wisconsin than
l can teach. Wisconsin is the lead
er today in the working out of great
economic and social problems. This
state IS giving lessons to all COM
monwealths. 1t leads the progressive
movement Several great problems
have been solved in this state and
you are working on others. You
work along the correct lines and
the country is looking and must
continue to look to you for leader
ship"
This was the most significant
thing said by Col. Theodore Roose-
welt during his visit to Madison. He
said it three times in public speeches
and he reiterated it several times
in conversation.
In the words of several legislative
leaders, Roosevelt 'came clear
through on the progressive move
ment. Wisconsin" he said, has
worked out certain social and eco
nomic problems under the leadership
of Senator Robert NJ La Toilette"
There was cheering in the assem-
bly, chamber when he paid the trib-
ute to La Toilette, and when he re-
peated it in his speech in the uni
versity gymnasium.
In previous speeches in Wisconsin,
Col. Roosevelt had omitted reference
to Senator La Toilette, and there had
been much speculation whether he
would continue avoiding the mention
of his name upon this visit, especial
ly in view of Senator La Follette's
open attacks upon the Taft admin
istration policies.
The speaker Iauded the success
Of the railroad commission law and
said that other states would be
forced to follow Wisconsin in deal
ing with the railroad problem In
speaking of the WorkmenS compen-
SatiOn bill, he urged it's immediate
passage, leaving the courts to deter
mine its constitutionality. He praised
the University of Wisconsin for its
cooperation with the state govern
ment in rendering service to the
state and said that it occupied posi-
ton in this respect which was unique.
Col. Roosevelt was the guest of
the state through its representatives,
the legislature and the governor, for
six and one-half hours, during which
he was Toasted and toasted and
otherwise accorded true Wisconsin
welcome. From the time of his ar
rival from st. Paul until he left for
Chicago on special train, the for
mer president was the center of at
