to care for ensilage from these meet
ings Alfalfa was introduced on some
farms and people became acquainted
with the buttermaker's side of the
milk question.
The club afforded training in pub
lie speaking and in the organizing
and running of an organization ac
cording to parliamentary rules. Chill
dren were given excellent training in
this way that will be of great value
to them when they have to conduct
the district and town meetings.
Then there is great culture value.
The assemblymen and other men con.
nected with the government brought
the great world of politics to these
farmers. Through other speakers the
country high school, tuberculosis, con
servation, banking methods, road
laws, history of the county, and other
topics of wide interest were pre-
scented.
There is a social side to the farm
er's club. 1t provides a place for the.
people to go during the winter and
so is the first step towards making
the school a social center One club
took steps to present a play. An
other ended it's years work with 8
minstrel show and a lunch, to which
the short course boys put the finish
ing touch by giving the Wisconsin
yells. They are planning on having
more such evenings this winter. The
past fall two of the clubs held dis
trict fairs which were a great success
A great deal depends on the leaders
in the community and the type of or
ganization they maintain. One club
is on the point of dissolving because
too many children were admitted and
of course the main purpose was lost
sight Of In other clubs it seems that
agriculture had only a minor place
and the club has more of the charac-
ter of a literary society. Still there
are others where the feeling among
the farmers is different and the clubs
are stronger than ever. However, 1t is
fdt that there is need of some cen
tralizing aim to work for more than
just the social and cultured side and
perhaps cooperative associations will
take the place of the present clubs

STATE MEETING
OF SOCIALISTS
Convention viii Be Held in No
Venber at Stevens Point.
REFERENDUM VOTE DECIDES
VIII Discuss the Admission of Women
TO the Organization Under Small
er Dues Than Men-Pian for
Campaign for Membership.

Madison.-The first annual state
convention Of the Social Democratic
party of Wisconsin will be held No
vember 4-6 at Stevens Point.
A referendum vote on the PROPOSE
ton Of holding an annual state con-
vention and the place just concluded,
was favorable to the plan, and as the
place of meeting.
Although the Socialists have held
state gatherings in the past they
have been merely nominating confer
ences held prior to the state and ma
tional elections. With the new system
the party leaders are confident that
they can do much better propaganda
work throughout the state.
Two Of the important things to be
discussed are the admission Of women
to the state organization under small
er dues than the men, and the distri-
button of literature throughout the
state on the same plan being car
ried out in Milwaukee.
A plan for a state campaign for
membership will be adopted at that
time ALSO The literature plan must
be decided first, as the membership
soliciting will be pushed hand in hand
with the distribution of Socialist read
ing matter.
Victor L. Berger, congressman, will
be the only leading Wisconsin Social
ist who will not be present. Mr.. Ber-
ger will be in New York that week at
tending the meeting of the national
executive board, of which he is a
member.

Clerks Get No Sunday Salary.

Clerks Get No Sunday Salary.
An Interpretation of the law
that will result in a saving to the
state of $4,000 or $4,000 each BIZ
ennial period was made by Attorney
General Bancroft in an opinion where
in he holds that legislative employees
are not entitled to pay for Sundays.
1t has been the practice of the state
ever since time beyond the memory
of the present generation to pay leg
islative employees for every day, Sun
days and all, from the opening of the
session to the end.
The law provides for eighty-four
regular legislative employees, besides
the two chief clerks and two SER
geants-at-arms, who are paid by the
session be it long or short. These
eighty-four employees receive a total
of 1919 per day. The recent session
of the legislature lasted from January
IA to July 16, making tWenty-seven
Sundays, or $8,613.
Not only were these regular en-
ployes allowed for every Sunday, but
all the employees of special legislative
committees, and there have been
numerous of such in recent years,
have been similarly favored under
rule of common practice. There are
two such committees existing at the
present time, the insurance Investigate
ing committee and the school book
committee.
Secretary Of State Frear, whose
duty it is to audit these claims, re-
Gently became suspicious that the
practice would not hold water and
Chief Clerk L. B. Nagler framed the
proposition and submitted it to Attor-
ney General Bancroft for an official
ruling.
The question was referred to Dep
uty Attorney General Russell Jackson,
who submitted an opinion holding that
such employees were not entitled to
such pay.
"In my opinion" says Mr.. Jackson,
''this statute QUOTED in the opinion)
covers the case of such employees. |
am of the opinion that a court would
not construe this work Chat done by
legislative employes) as work of
necessity or charity, and that these
employees are not entitled to COM
pansation for work done on Sundays.
There is no provision in the
statutes of which l am aware prohibit
ing the doing of work on legal holi-
days. l believe that If such employees
actually work on legal holidays they
would be entitled to their per diem
for such work as if such days were
not legal holidays"

Rapid depletion of our timber lands
is causing anxiety in the minds of
many farmers as to where they will
find good material for fence posts. Al
ready a large number of manufactur
ers are making fence posts of rein
forced concrete.
Building of the forms is not as diff
ficult task as it might appear since
the most essential points are to have
the inner surface smooth and all joints
tight enough to prevent the cement
from running through with the leak
age of water. The illustration shows
form for solid posts. 1t will be
found more advantageous to use
green lumber for these forms since
this will not absorb so much moisture
from the posts. The bottom board or
