MARY ANN" BILL MADE LAW
Measure Providing Second Choice at
Primaries Passed by Senate and
Awaits Governors Signature.

Madison.-The senate has concur
red in the Mcconnell bill providing
for second choice in primary cleo
tions by vote of Is to 9.
Those who voted against the bill
were Senators Albers, Burke, Gay
lord, James, Randolph, Shower,
Thomas, Whitehead and c. Zophy.
Senator Whitehead opposed the
bill on the ground that it would not
accomplish majority nominations and
would work an injustice to candi-
dates with the fewest number of the
choice votes.
He said that there was some hid
den motive for passing this bill, as
the friends of primary elections, when
the opposition was first advanced
twelve years ago, did not favor the
second choice proposition.
If the bill became a law, he de-
clared, it would embarrass, hamper
and load down the voter in such a
manner that he would be deferred
from attending the polls.
Senator Whitehead reviewed the
agitation for the primary election,
quoting from speeches by Senator
La Toilette and other advocates of
the law.
Senator Sanborn, speaking for the
bill, denied it would harm the voter
and would enable him to more truly
express his choice for his candidates

ALWAYS KEEP LAWN ROLLED

The labyrinth of tunnels construct
ed by the mole serves as passageways
for several species of mice and other
small mammals not favored by nature,
with the means of digging runways of
their own. To these alone is due the
credit for most of the damage to
seeds, roots, and tubers encountered
in the soil, and not to the mole him
self.
While the mole seeks out the high
er and dryer spots for his home and
his highways, he hunts preferably in
soil that is shaded, cool and moist.
Here worms and grubs abound, and
these favored areas soon become
traversed by a perfect labyrinth of
subsurface paths. This accounts for
the persistency with which moles
stick to our lawns and parks. In
neglected orchards and natural wood
lands, where the mole works undis-
turbed, the ground yields everywhere

A Clash and a Kiss.

The clash that came that evening
had been threatening for some time.
Take an immovable body, represented
by Mr. HARRISON and his square jaw,
and an irresistible force, Jimmy and
his weight, and there is bound to be
trouble.
The real fault was Jim's. He had
gone entirely mad again over Bella.
and thrown prudence to the winds.
He mooned at her across the dinner
table, and waylaid her on the stairs
or in the back halls, just to hear her
voice when she ordered him out of the
way He telephoned for flowers and
candy for her quite shamelessly, and
he got out a book of photographs that
they had taken on their wedding jour

that went wrong, and his shirts for

BAD ROADS AND SMALL LOADS
Same Principle Applies to Farmer
With His Team as to Rairoader
With His Locomotive.
By WALTER B. LEUTz.)

The president of western railroad
shows what the difference between
good roads and bad mean to the farm
er, by some facts relating to his own
road
He says that II years ago the rail
road was able to handle only 1872
tons to a train. 1t today hauls 257
possible through Improvement of
track, engines and cars, which addi-
tional improvement has cost many
millions of dollars
The same principle applies to the
farmer with his team as to the rail
road man with his locomotive Our
country has some of the best rail
roads and some of the worst wagon
roads. If the wagon roads were i'm
proved so the farmer could have a
continuous good road from the farm
to the market, he would be able to
pay the cost from the increase in cash
in a very few years.
Fine roads cost big money, it is
true--about a billion dollars for $780,
900 miles of macadam-and we cannot
expect western farms, when stone
material is secured, to stand this ex-
pense, but we do maintain that the
common dirt road of the south and
west can be improved so per cent
made possible during the rainy sea
sons and fit to carry good loads at all
times and at very small expense.
Drainage by tile and ditch, the con-
stant use of the log drag, which costs
practically nothing, would, in three
years, convert thousands of miles of
bog into fine highways and add mil
lions to the income of the farmers.

BADGER CROPS LOOK GOOD
Report of State Agricultural Board
Shows Normal ond.tion-Fruit
Prospects Are Excellent.

Madison.-Crop conditions through
out Wisconsin are about normal, with
slightly better prospects than in 1910.
according TO the spring farm crop
report issued by the state board of
agriculture More favorable weather
conditions than existed last year are
forcasted for this spring and a cor
responding good effect is expected
on the summer produce.
The only crops that seemed to have
suffered thus far, and are farther
behind than they were last year, are
clover and alfalfa, although there
seems to be a slight decrease in win
ter wheat, barley and spring rye.
prospects for fruit never were
brighter than this year. The late
spring, so different from that of last
year, when all the buds were out be-
fore the heavy snow fall and frost
late in April, has proved a boon to
the fruit growers of the state in that
the trees have not blossomed until
practically every fear of another frost
has passed.
Although summer vegetation is not
as far advanced as usual, owing to
the cold weather prevailing through
out the spring, practically no damage
is reported.
A summary of the reports secured
from the state board of agriculture
correspondents throughout the state
give the following estimates of pres
ent conditions of the principal crops,
LOO representing a high average con-
dition:
Winter wheat, 81; clover meadows.
u; winter rye, 90; alfalfa, Sc; tim
othy meadows, So; pastures, 81.

.SOLONS TALKING
Of ADJOURNMENT
RESOLUTION IN SENATE PUTS
DATE AS SOON AFTER MAY
27 AS POSSIBLE.
DEMOCRATS NAME JUNE 8
Out of 100 Bills Introduced More
Than 900 are Still in Handle OF
Committees Reapportionment of
State Unlikely.

Madison.-The first serious move
looking to an early adjournment of
the present legislative session was
taken when the committee on legis-
latiYe procedure of the senate re-
ported in a joint resolution provid-
ing for as early an adjournment after
May 81 as possible.
The resolution provides that the
introduction of bills, except by joint
resolution, shall stop May IS, and
that all committees must report in
bills in their charge by May OF. After
that all bills will go at once to the
calendar and be worked off as fast
as possible.
The democrats have decided on a
resolution limiting the introduction
of new bills to May 16, and provid-
ing that all committees must report
in the bills in their hands by May
20. Adjournment will be taken sine
ton
The senate resolution does not
name any day for final adjournment
for the reason that the senators real
lie that the time when the legisla-
ture will adjourn for good is an open
question.
Investigation showed that out of
more than 100 bills introduced in
both houses 900 are still in the hands
of committees of both houses. To
work off this mass of bills before
June is, it is claimed, absolutely
impossible except on the theory that
everything be dumped off the cal
endar and bills passed or killed with
out regard to their merits. That this
would be unwise and result in much
legislation that would have to be cor
rected later is well understood and it
will not be permitted except as a
last resort in case the session threat
ems to drag too long.
1t is apparent that under the new
deal no attempt will be made to ap-
portion the state
