The history of the administration of
the pure food laws is an interesting
study in methods When the law pro-
hibited the adulterating or misbrand-
ing of foods, the enforcement was
turned over to the department of agri-
culture. 1t became necessary to ap-
point some authority to pass upon the
cases that arose, to determine whether
an article branded vermont Maple
Strip" was made from maple sap or
from glucose, to ascertain whether a
can marked Chicken" contained the
flesh of the feathered tribe or that of
an antiquated horse. At first board
of chemists was appointed for this
work, which seems quite logical as the
matters to be determined are facts in
chemistry.
Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief chemist, got
busy and soon had a flood of prosecu-
tions started. A wall of protest that
soon became clamor came from the
of adulterated foods.
They asserted that the board of chem
lists were altogether too technical and
if not halted would destroy their bus
mess. Glucose, they said, is just as
healthful as maple strip, and the
matter of putting the brand maple
strip on can of glucose is simply for

The Milwaukee News seems worried
over the great cost of the various in

bewailing the fact that the Stephen
son investigation cost $4,000. Evil
IDENTIFY the News has not grasped the
theory and purpose of our criminal
laws. We frequently spend $500 OF
more in convicting and Furnishing a
horse thief, not because the horse he
stole was worth that much, but be-
cause the example has a restraining
effect on other would-be thieves. Just

A Milwaukee clothing dealer was
recently fined $40 for keeping his store
open on Sunday. He paid his fine, and
then asked for warrant for his neigh
Dor who had kept his saloon open on
Sunday, but the officers refused to act
in the matter. Being Milwaukeean,
he should have understood that in that

A HUNDRED AGRICULTURAL
FREE SCHOL

Urged by members of the University
faculty and graduates of the Agricul-
tural College, Senator La Toilette will
again, through La Follette's Weekly
Magazine, offer scholarships with all
expenses, paid in fall and winter
courses in the Agricultural College of
the State University this year.
Shortly before the opening of the
University short course last fall, the
Senator made an announcement that if
any boys desired an education in agri
culture to write La Follette's Weekly
Magazine and the plan would be sug-
gested to them whereby they might
be able to earn their scholarships.
Although the time was very limited,
six boys won scholarships. La Foil
cites Magazine paid their way to
Madison and return. 1t paid their
fees, tuition, bought necessary books,
paid their room rent and board during
the entire course.
The people who won last year were
C. E. Rustic, Blue Mounds, Wis; Roy
al Klofanda, Briggsville, Wis; John
Schwartz, Jr, Amigo, Wis; John B.
Mullcy, Wayside, Wis; Robert E
Sturtevant, Delavan, Wis. and Harry
w. Schilling, Onalaska, Wis. Lottie
B. Nickerson, Seneca, Wis, and Ida
Carlson, Augusta, Wis, won scholar
ships in the Women's course in Home
Economics, and Sherman Ferris of St.
Croix Falls, Wis. won the farmers
scholarship course.
This year Senator La Toilette hopes
to give nearly 100 scholarships under
plan similar to the one he generously
outlined last year. Each scholar gath
ers few subscriptions for La Foil
cites Weekly in return for full paid
scholarship course. The plan is meet
ing with universal concentrations.
"The La Toilette scholarships given
to the young people of the State last
year enabled several to attend the
College of Agriculture who otherwise
might have been deprived OF this priv
ilege," said Prof r. A. Moore, head
of the Department of Agronomy a
few days ago. ''This is certainly a
move in the right direction and we
trust that hundreds will avail them
selves of the opportunity of securing
scholarships for the coming year.
''This method of issuing scholarships
to pay the expenses of young men to
College is highly commendable. 1t
puts the privilege of taking course
in the College of Agriculture within
the reach of every active and energet-
ic young man in the State and thereby
enabling him to more than double his
earning capacity on the farm"
Scores of people have already writ
ten La Follette's Weekly Magazine for
the plan and indications are favorable
that the list of students at the Agri-
cultural College will be greatly aug
mented this year as result of the
project.
Anyone desiring course has only to
write La Follette's Weekly Magazine
to obtain full information as to how
these scholarships may be secured.

Sept. IL and Is for the purpose Of in-
vestigating the high cost Of meats ana
the great discrepancy that now exists
between the price paid for live stock

Captain Charles Schreiner Of Kerrvillo,
a prominent sheep and cattle raisen
said:
1--WE shall attempt to fnd out why
there is a variance Of 800 per cent be-
tween what the producer receives and
what the consumer pays, and Will en-
deavor to take action to remedy this
condition.: at least, we will start q
crusade that will not stop until this
question IL equitably settled When
the producer Is selling his cattle at q,
loss and the consumer IL paying an exc
orbitant price for his meat the situa.
ton evidences an economic discreps
ancy that can not long continue.
"The trouble lies with the packee
and retailer. and am inclined to be-
lieve that the latter is ever more to
blame than the former. However. 1t 10
hard to AK the blame at the present
time, but 1t stands to reason that there
is something radically wrong.

lambs available at the prices. Feeding
lambs four years ago were being taken
at $7.10@7.20 and five years ago at
$3.50. Feeding yearlings OF choice
class this week have been taken as
high as $3.50, against $3.50 for q
similar class one year ago. when fat
yearlings were selling at $3.50 and
all handy light yearlings in fair flesh
will find better outlet thru feeders than
killers.
Western range muttons have sold
largely at $3.60@3.s5 during the week
and close to the range one week ago.
such prices for range nuttons being
close to Is cents per cwt below the
range at this time last year and native
ewes chiefly at range of $3.10@3 $50
are almost 81 per cwt cheaper than at
this time last year.
Breeding ewes continue scarce, but
demand has not been quite as keen
lately and the best handy weight
yearling ewes are selling around $4.25
and the aged ewes with good mouths
from fair to good class range at $3.35

Buyers have been eager for range
wethers on feeding account and have
taken such chiefly at s3.5O@365, with
some buyers searching for thrifty
class of ninety pound feeding wethers
and ready to pay up around $3.50 for
something of high quality in that line.

CLAIMS ALTITUDE HEIGHT.
Instrument Shows Height Of 1890 Feet
-Brindey's Claims Disputed.


Chicago. Aug. 21.-When Lincoln
Beachev descended into Grant park
Yesterday from a height at which his
Curtiss biplane had been barely visible
his paragraph record showed an alti-
tude of 1920 feet.
Declarations were that the worlds
record had been broken were made fol-
lowing the reading Of the instrument by
Capt. c. c. Culver. the army expert IN
charge OF the dcl!co te height recorders
but formal announcement OF the Official
record Of the aviator was withheld un-
til this morning.
The barograph-a recording barom-
eter-will be tested thoroughly and the
reading taken again before the officials
directing the big meet will authorize
"a statement that the high mark Tor
aeroplanes has been passed.
Beachey was confident that he had
gone higher than any other aviator
during the last nine days. and Captain
Culver was emphatic in his declarations
that such an error az was discovered
after the announcement that the att
tude record had been broken two days
before would not be discovered again
The mistake in ascertaining TIE
heigh: reached by Oscar A. Brindley In
Wright biplane on Friday was said
to have led 10 extreme caution in the
handling Of barogra phs. After Brind-
ley's return to earth 1t was announced
that his record was 11,726 feet, but af-
ter the calibration test-placing the in
strument under air pressue over night
brought a corrected reading Of 5,67s
feet.
Following this Captain Culver made
test Of four paragraphs by sending
them up in the same aeroplane. and
their readings were within few feet
Of each other. He now is confident that
the one used by Beachey was accurate
and that another record has been added
to the total OF the Chicago meet as
fitting close to its nne day program
which ended almost simultaneously
with Beacheys a':ghting.
The worlds altitude is held by Cap
tain Felix, director OF the French army
school OF aviation. who on Aug. OF
this year reached a height Of 11.15(
feet. The first announcement OF hi:
height was 1880 feet, but corrections
lowered this. and the same thing may
be done with Beachey's.

1DS were steady.

Sheep and lambs were steady.
During the week the best range
lambs sold up to s7.25, or Is cents
above top price for such one year ago
this week, but by the end of the week
prices for native lambs had fallen to
a level indicating that best range
lambs would have had difficulty in
landing at 81 Prices at the end Of
the week were resting on a basis very
close to that one year ago, and at a
considerably lower range than two and
three years ago when lambs were
selling at s7.5Od7.60 and UP to 1870
as at this time in the season 1908.
Feeding lambs have sold this week
possibly 10 cents lower than high time
the week before, fair class OF lambs

we'll as the yard dealers the past week.
Fresh arrivals of attrac tive young cat
tie from the country. the smallest liz
months. put yard men under high pres
sure to get together enough young ca:-
tie to make a presentable showing.
They had TO pay up $50 CSC for the
mixed stuff early in the week and
could not get half enough to meet their
requirements. Beef buyers were hot
competitors for the young stuff that
showed any kill and reduced the quail
ity OF feeders available to degree that
left an unattractive accumulation of
feeders in the main.
While the attendance OF outside buE-
ers was not large. there was enough
demand to have consumed twice as
many useful feeders as were at hand
at the best prices that have been paid
here in months or since the June
drouth put the future OF corn pastures
in a state Of such dubious uncer-
tainty.
Michigan men who came here for
feeding lambs. finding prices beyond
what they regarded safe limit turned
to the cattle alleys to find good young
steers about as scarce and high and
many were compelled to take cattle of
an ordinary class at prices around
s425.
Some sters that were really OF beef
class. averaging up to 1925 pounds.
were taken about mid week to go back
on feed at cost Of Sc. but they were
not Of a regulation feeder class, the
buyer wanting something on which to
make a quick turn. and the choice class
of feeders Of regulation type are
begged around $5.75.
The last weeks advance has ele-
waited prices for young stuff very close
10 the range paid here at this time

at 500. That price would be paid
now for something fancy in the an
gus line. or strictly high class ninety

sales Of feeders Of good style aver
