The Secret Rlottsr.

Every foreign office Of Europe acts
on the theory that an army of spies is
constantly on the alert to steal it's
secrets, and infinite precautions are
taken to battle their efforts. Very
shortly after the first use of blOtting
paper it was discovered that it was
quite possible to cause a plotting pad
to give up jealousy guarded secrets
by simply holding it in front of a mir
ror Long after all the commercial
world had forgotten the existence Of
such thing the British foreign office
used a sand shaker to dry it's impor

cially manufactured black plotting pa
per was used, but this was not found
to be absolutely spy proof, and re-
turn to the sand shaker was cOntem
plated when some one suggested the
simple expedient of a small absorbent
roller These rollers have since been
used for drying diplomatic documents.

Carp Fishing in Lake KegOnsa.

S. C. Horn of Waukesha has been
here for week, getting things in Or
der for carp seining through the ice on
Kegonsa. He will utilize barrels and
long poles and many will be interested
in the method pursued, as this process
of fishing through the ice for carp and
other rough fish is altogether new in
this locality. Previous to locating at
Waukesha, Mr.. Horn operated at Bea-
yer Dam, where the water at its great
est depth is only about dozen feet.
He will find possibly 40 feet in some
parts of Kegonsa. This is a season of
the year when rough or any other fish
bring high price in the market. No
harm can now be done to spawning
beds and as all cottagers along the
Kegonsa shores are DESTROYS of having
the carp removed in any manner what
sOever, it is needless to remark that all
wish Mr.. Horn profitable venture.
Mr.. Horn must wait till the lake is
frozen, which may not occur for some
weeks. -StOughton Cor.

Two Visit. <: =.

Visiting cards differ III style accord
ing to latitude, and as an example a
Paris contemporary recalls all incident
in 1914 when M. de Lagrene was sent
under Louis Philippe as minister ex-
traordinary to China. The courtesy OF
the ambassador greatly impressed the
Chinese statesmen, particularly their
"doyen." When the negotiations had
been completed and NJ. de Lagrene was
ready to embark a delegation brought
him q great roll Of paper The ambas-
sador seeing this parcel at once thought
this was a present. knowing Chinese
methods, but to his surprise they start
ed to unroll the cylinder. which extend
ed to about fifty meters of paper, over
1872 feet. Then he learned that it was
the visiting card Of the "doyen." In
returning his modest little bristol
board the inundated ambassador add
ed a few words, which read, 1.-The am
bassador of France regrets that he Is
able to offer only these simple words
to your excellency."

Gernany's Telephone Girls"

Telephone girls" in Germany cam
not work after the age of seventy,
though they can retire on pension prior
to that advanced day. Positions are
obtained by civil service examination.
The average on entering the business
must be near thirty, and, as many re-
main for life, it would be ungailant to
speak intimately of ages. Discharges
cannot be effected without consider
able red tape. When an operator has
worked up to $3.50 a year and $50
extra for house rent. she stays at that
pay until retired on pension.

CONGRESS WANTS
 MORE IRRIGATION
Another Conservation Or ganizatiOn Is Formed
 in Chicago

Chicago, December 6.-Another con servation movement was created today when at the National Irrigation con gress the delegates interested in drain age of swamp lands decided to form a separate organization to urge the fed eral government to care for overflowed lands of the country as it is doing for the arid lands. The new organization, which will be called the National Drain age Reclamation congress, Is to CO., operate with the Irrigation congress.
 Tt was decided that if drainage is to receive support from the federal government the movement must take d form separate from irrigation proj
 ects," said F. T. Perkins of Illinois who was selected as temporary chair man. The new movement will affect the Mississippi valley, the gulf and the south Atlantic states. There are about 70,000.000 acres of swamp lands which can be drained for about $10 an acre.
 When the Panama canal is con- peted we are going to ask the govern ment 10 move the pump machinery to New Orleans and begin the work Our purpose will be to drain the sWamps to regulate the courses of rivers and to pump the submerged lands dry. The drainage congress, with the approval of the irrigation congress, will be formally organized tomorrow night"

cJ DISCUSS BUSINESS EFFECT OF COMPLETIONzOF CANAL

Representative Sprackman of Florida said that by 1915 the government will have expended more than s1,O00, ,0OO,000 for waterway improvement. He declared the unsystematic method of aiding water sites had done much to ourtail the work of the channel improvements in rivers.
 Representative J. Hampton Moore or Pennsylvania urged the widening and deepening of all canals along the Atlan- tic coast, and Joseph N. Teal of Portland, Ore, spoke on the probable effect of the Panama canal on the lumber industry Of the country.
 Other speakers were David kinley, di- rector of the University of Illinois; John A. Fox, special director of the congress; Edgar c. Ellis, Kansas City: M. w. Peebles of Detroit C. s. F. Holland of Victoria, Tex: W. K. Kavanaugh of St. Louis, president of the Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterways association, and Edward Savage of New York.

 Washington, December 6-Early com pleton of the Panama canal and its probable effect on transportation in the United States featured the addresses of nearly every speaker at the eighth an- nual session of the National Rivers and Harbors congress here today.

 In the afternoon President Taft received the members of the Atlantic Deep Water way association, who are delegates to the congress. Every section of the country was represented and each section had ali advocate among the speakers who pleaded for unity in the effort to impress upon Congress the need of navigabe waterways.

HARVESTER CASE ID THE SUPREME COURT
Supreme Court of Missouri Grants Writ of Error
 for Appeal

Chicago, December 6-Counsel for the
 International Harvester company late to- day received a telegram from Jefferson City, Mo-, announcing that the supreme
 court of Missouri had granted writ of error on which the custer case might be carried up to the United States supreme court General Counsel Edgar A. Ban croft for the company said the company
 would go up immediately to the highest tribunal
 The constitutionaity of the Missouri antitrust law will be attacked by the International Harvester company, It was announced. The basis on which the at tack is made will be the language of the Missouri supreme court, which while fin- ing the company $5O,OOO, and later reduc- ed to S25,000 and busting it from dolng business in the state, said the company otherwise had done no actual damage or wrong.
 This language will be the basis or a contention that the restraint of trade al legged to be practiced by the Harvester corporation is not unreasonable, as de- fined by the federal supreme court. Supreme Court Justice Valiant of the Missouri court said in his opinion he was compelled to impose sentence on cor pcration which, while technically in err ror had not wronged or harmed the con surner, but on the contrary had been of service to the consumer. The appeal will raise the question of whether an organization whose prices and methods are so held by state court can be held to be in unreasonable restraint Of trade.
 The action of the United States, suprme court and the action of the Missouri court in granting writ of error to the federal court will be called to the attention of the federal department of justice, which is permitting the International Harvester company to suggest a plan Of reorgan- ization in lieu of suit to dissolve the company, it was stated.
 The federal case, entirely distinct from the Missouri case, though delayed to await action of the state court, will not h.. adiusted for several weeks.
