 Though it is cleaner work shipping small fruits than vegetables, I believe I prefer the vegetables. You know how pleasant strawberries smell in small quantities. I used to think their scent the sweetest of all natural perfumes. Packing them in Florida cured me The odor is overpowering. Pineapples are even worse.

 oposition will be the sending of anti Taft delegates to the next national re- publican convention.
 The progressive republicans, as well as the progressive democrats, are ac- tuated by desire to win a victory for progressive principles, and they are not so insstent as to the party em- blems under which they will enlist for the battle. If necessary, it is claimed the progressive republicans will fight under the democratic banner and for the election of Governor Harmon of Ohio should he be nominated by the democrats and Taft by the republicans
 Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey is regarded as a progressive, but is more inclined to the conserva- tive idea, and in this respect does not meet the requirements as Judge liar mon does.
 Most politicians, however, agree that if third ticket is necessary, it would have better chances for victory under the auspices of the progressive repub- licans than under the fostering influ- ence of the Bryan democrats, as un- doubtedly eX-President Roosevelt would throw his entire strength with them under the slogan of New Nationalism and Progressiveism." These facts are taken as supporting the theory that the progressive republicans are con templating the idea of a new party and putting a third ticket into the field at the coming campaign.

DAIRYMEN MEET AT NEENAH
Thirty-NInth Annsal Convention of
State Assocat 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.

Atkinson. seven men, w. d. Hoard,
stephen Favill. w. S. Green, Chester
Hazen, H. f. Dousman, A. ID. Favill
and H. c. Drake. met at Waterfowl
and organized this society, which has
been one of the strongest factors in
increasing the value of the annual
dairy products of Wisconsin from
$1,000,000 to $79, 10000 The COW
that does not pay her board is every
where in evidence. and it is the mis-
sion of the association to urge dairy
men to keep better cows, give them
better care, feed them more intelli-
gently, handle their products to bet
ter profit, and protect the dairy mar
ket from fraudulent limitations.
Through the initiative of the assoc
citation, the farmers Institutes were
inaugurated, the dairy school estab-
lished, the state dairy and pure food
commission created, and the dairy
legislation of the state perfected to
greater degree.
The present officers are: Presi-
dent, H. ID. Griswold, West Salem;
secretary. A. j. Glover, Fort Atkin-
son; treasurer, H. K Loomis, She

Board of Health Bulletin.

Madison.-A noticeable increase In
the number of deaths in Wisconsin
during the last three months of 1910
over the corresponding period of
1909 Is noted in the quarterly buIie-
tin OF the state board of health. The
total for the last quarter of 1910 was
6.SS7, and for 1909 it was GAIA, an
increase of 443. This excess is ae-
counted for largely by the larger
number of deaths of people over IS
years old and infants under one year.
There also was pronounced increase
in the number of fatal cases of diph-

TO LOSE NO CONGREssMEN
General Belief at Madison Is That
No Reduction in Visions MS 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 it's 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 eon-
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.
