TO LOSE NO CONGRESSMAN
General Belief at Madison Is That
No Reduction in Wsconsin's Rep
resentation Is Probable.

Madison.-The impression about
the capitol is that if the membership
Of the lower house of congress is left
the same as at present that WiscOn-
sin will retain its membership of
eleven congressman.
Secretary Of State Frear said that
his understanding was in case the
membership of the house was left as
at present that there would be no
change in Wisconsin, that we would
still have eleven members in con
gress. However, he said he had no
figures on which to make any definite
statements
Dr. Charles Mccarthy Of the legis-
lative reference library said that Wis
consin would not lose any members
providing the membership of the
house was kept as now Wisconsin,
he said, was one Of the states that
gained in population, and therefore
there was little chance that it would
lose any members.

DAIRYMEN MEET AT NEENAH
ThirtY-Ninth Annual Convention of
State Association Is Largest
Gathering of Year.

Neenah.-By far the largest dairy
mems meeting this winter is the an
nual state convention Of the Wiscon-
sin Dairymen's association which
opened here for three days school.
Some Of the delegations from the ex-
IRENE ends Of the state came in spe-
cial cars.
Thirty-nine years ago, pursuant to
call issued by w. D. Hoard of Fort
Atkinson, seven men, w. D. Hoard,
Stephen Favill, w. S. Green. Chester
Hazen, H F. Dousman, A. D. FayiTl
and II. G. Drake, met at Watertown
and organized this society, which has
been one Of the strongest factors in
increasing the value of the annual
dairy products of Wisconsin from
100000 to 100000. The COW
that does not pay her board is every
where IN evidence, and it is the mis-
sion OF the association to urge dairv-
men to keep better COWS, give them
better care, feed them more intelli-
gently, handle their products to bet
ter pront, and protect the dairy mar
ket from fraudulent limitations.
through the initiative of the asso-
citation, the farmers Institutes were
lnaugurated, the dairy school estab-
llshed, the state dairy and pure food
commission created, and the dairy
legislation of the state perfected to
a greater degree.
The present officers are: Presi-
dent, H. D. Griswold, West Salem;
secretary, A. ]. Glover, Fort Atkin-
son; treasurer, H. K. LOOMS. She

been in business in one building for II
years; at least he will have completed
Il years in the shoe business at 242-
ga River street August IL next. This
record. il is believed, can be equaled
by few if any shoe retailers in this
country. Mr.. Wilson has also been in
business for himself for more than SO
yeprs Mr.. Wilson is today just as
much in active business as he was al
most thlee-quarters of a century ago,
whea as a thirteen-year-old lad he
tered the employ of John Leonard
Williams of Troy. To be exact. that
was August IL, 1910. Mr.. Williams
kept a shoe store at 242-244 River
street in a building which had been
erected in 1903, and so the building
nov occupied by Mr.. Williams for his
retail shoe business is one of the old
est buildings in Troy.
