Until his recent appearance be-
fore the Interstate Commerce
Commission rs counsel for shippers
in the Railroad Freight Rate En-
quiry, the most widely known Of
all his work in the peoples SER
vice was done in the Ballinger in
vestigation.
About two weeks before the in
vestigation began he became coun-
sci for CLAWS. Those two weeks
he spent delving into the mass OF
details involved. 1t was an amaz-
ing instance OF swift absorption.
The committee, it was feared would
make short work OF CLAWS; but il
this were Intended 1t was made i'm
possible by the brilliant history OF
the whole matter which Brande.s
gave at the start.
His task was hard, for the who.e
administration was set against the
investigation. To the requests for
records there were delays, and
later even denials. But over what
records he could secure he used TO
work in his room late Mt night and
he was often at work again at four
O'Clock in the morning. Out OF
these dry records he tried to build
up the part each man had played,
to visualize the story. And out OF
this patient searching came two
disclosures which startled the
country.
For their understanding . few
dates arc needed. On August IL,
1909, Claws submitted his charges.
On September 9, Bal'ingcr submit
ted q mass Of documents in reply.
On September -, the President ex-
onsratsd Balungcr and dismissed
Claws. Two months later CLAWS
appealed TO the country. On Dec

When Wickersham had made his

Lake Mills, May 1.-THE value Of
wedding out cows and only keeping the
best for dairy purposes, has clearly
been shown by the test which is be-
ing carried on here. c: E.. Canree's
herd has given him an average pro-
duction Of 243 pounds, according to the
report just made out, covering period
of nine months. There are in all
$500 COWS whose milk is disposed Of at
the creamery here. Had all these cows
averaged like the herd Of Mr. CaffPee,
this creamery would have paid out
100000 more per year than it has paid.
The fine showing made by Mr.. Caffree
has been brought about by paying at
tention to breeding, feeding and man
agement. The highest thirteen patrons
