Waukesha Saloonkeepers Not to Be
Prosecuted for Sunday Selling

Notwithstanding a long con-
ference between Mayor Love, Dis
trict Attorney Evans and the attor-
neys for the defense in the case of
the state against Simon Lattner, a
saIoonkeeper. charged with selling
liquor on Sunday, Mr.. Evans made a
motion in municipal court that all
cases against liquor dealers, arrested

vised them not to sell liquor on Sun

RAP APPRENTICE LAW
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION TOLD
OF OBJECTION TO STATUTE
6Y MANUFACTURERS.
Provisions for Limit OF 81 Hours OF
Work Per Week Regarded as a
Check TO Ambitious Boys.

Milwaukee. Members of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers associa-
ton assailed the recently enacted ap-
prentice law before members of the
Wisconsin industrial commission at
a conference held here.
The law in question instructs en-
ployers of apprentices to limit the
period of labor to ffty-tive hours a
week, five of which should be de-
voted to educational advancement.
Objections to the measure we're
raised by manufacturers, claiming
such laws completely shattered the
present order of labor; that ambi-
tious boys learning a trade should not
be checked by a time limit. and
should not be compelled to spend five
hours weekly in a schoolroor when
industrial advancement and perfec-
ton was what they desired
1t was thought enforcement OF
such law would impair progress in
the output of manufactured product
and greatly cripple dealers who
would be unable to meet obligations

NAY ISSUE HIGHWAY BONDS
Attorney General Gives Opinion i'm
pOTtant to Towns and Counties
Planning improvements.

Madison.-An opinion Of vital in
terest to good roads enthusiasts was
that given by Atty. Gen Bancroft
wherein it is held that towns or coun-
ties may raise money by the. issue and
sale of bonds, devoting the same to
payment for permanent road i'm
proyements under the good roads law
passed by the last legislature and
make such payments the basis of
claim for state aid under the law.
The significance of the ruling is
that towns and counties may make
comprehensive and intelligent plans
for system of highway building,
raise the money TO pay for the same
by a bond issue payable in yearly in
stallments and make those payments
the basis for claims for state aid
from year to year until final payment
is made.

Wisconsin was the first state in

Of agriculture and domestic econ
omy, writes Prof Johnson. The
early history Of secondary agricuI-
tural education in this state dates
back to the winter Of 1899, when the
state legislature appointed Dr.. L. D.
Henry, then state superintendent of
public instruction, a commissioner.
to Investigate and report upon the
methods of procedure in this and
other states and counties, in manual
training and in the theories and arts
Of agriculture in the public schools
The legislature of 1901 passed
law embodying the recommends
lions of DR.. Harvey and permitting
the establishment of two schools.
Secondary agricultural education
in Wisconsin is largely adapted to
the conditions found in the counties
where such schools are located. Spe-
cial efforts are made to furnish ad-
ditional opportunities for schooling
to the "a out of every 100 rural and
urban school children who would
otherwise finish their education with
the common schools. These. county
schools are, strictly speaking, agri-
cultural trade schools and have for
their sole object the educating of the
farmers boys and girls who do not
wish to take up an extensive college
course, but who are anxious to get
that form of training which will be
most useful to them when they take
charge of the home farm or the farm
home. The school is made the edu-
cational center of the community,
and the farmers are free to call upon
1t for assistance in any line OF work
pertaining TO farming and home max
ing"
The cost of maintaining the wis
c0nsin schools is given as follows for
19O9-l910: Marathon, $5,93395;
