"The purpose of this BILL" said
Governor West as he leaned back in
bis chair in the executive chamber
at the capitol building yesterday af-
ternoOn to dictate some more veto
messages to his stenographer, after
having devoted four and one-half
days to the work-some of the nights
thrown in for good measure, and af-
ter having paused just barely long
enough on the fifth day to refresh
himself with a light lunch; "the pur-
pose of this BILL" he repeated as he
prepared himself for a fresh start in
the record breaking veto onslaught
and revolved in his mind a few choice
phrases to fling at some of those who
opposed measures which he favored
in the last session, is to confirm the
title to several large tracts of al
legged swamp lands purchased from
the state through what is known as
Swamp Land Certificate No. 144.

May Test Constitutionality.

New York, Feb. 25.-Through
statements by prominent railroad at
torneys it developed here today that
the principal business of the confer
ence OF railroad presidents here
Monday will be to decide whether to
test the constitutionality OF the
Mann-Elkins law. The railroad law
yers believe that the provision en-
powering the interstate commerce
commission to suspend railroad
rates is invalid. On this basis the
commissions recent decision will be
attacked, II at all.

growing here today that the rail-
roads will make no protest against
the decision of the interstate COM
merce commission in refusing to al
low advances in rates, and that they
will relent to meet current obllga-
tions.
The chief public concern over the
situation is whether there will be
reduction of wages to the level pre-
vailing before the recent concessions
to employees. In this connection the
statement of George F. Baer, presi-
dent Of the Reading railroad, that
the workingman might suffer from
the refusal 10 allow the rate raise,
is causing surprise. Referring to
Baer's statement, big labor leader
said today:
There will be no reduction In
wages now. The eastern and most
of the western systems have signed
up with the various brotherhoods
for term of years. II the railroads
violate their contracts, which is un-
likely, we will have the biggest rail-
road strike in history"
The impression among financial
men here is that everything soon
will be adjusted, that the roads will
carry out their contemplated Inn
provements and that no fight for
higher rates will be made.

There are 81 country schools in Wis
consin, each with an enrolment of less
than half dozen pupils; further, there
are 10 male teachers and 507 lady
teachers conducting district schools in
various parts of the state who receive
$25 or less per month and in looking up
the records of these respective localities
we find that with but two exceptions
not a single pupil has even ever enter
ed high school and in only % cases
have they reached the 9Th grade.
The High School has been entered in
the State OLatorical and Declamatory
contests and we hope to enter competi-
tors that will represent the school cred
itably. 1t means much hard prepare
ton on the part of those who compete
but the rewards justify the extra eff
fort. A local contest will be held to
select winners for the District and the
District winner represents the league
at Oshkosh, winner of the last named
place going to Madison.

BaItimores Method of Removing Them
From Her Streets.
Weeds along the roadside, in streets
and unused corners are eyesOres to
any town and should be destroyed as
soon as possible to prevent them from
spreading.
The street cleaning department Of
Baltimore has been using a weed kill
er which in efficiency and prOmptness
is all that can be expected, as is claim
ed, though the owner of a flock of
ducks which were allowed to run at
large and forage in the cutters of
certain section thinks it is too kill
ing" since every duckling who came
in contact with the mixture was de-
strOyed to the indignation of the own
err who claims so dangerous mixture
should not be used The liquid is de-
scribed as a mixture of bicarbOnate of
soda and arsenic A 20 per cent sOlu-
ton of the two chemicals is diluted
with forty times its bulk of water, and
the weeds to be killed are sprayed
with the mixture. If the weeds are
very high they are moved down first.
The liquid is applied over the ground.
and the roots are destroyed. The
street cleaning people say without such
a composition it would be impossible,
except at great expense. to remove
weeds from the streets and that as it
is used only in solution there is no
danger of humans getting any of it.
OF course chickens or ducks roaming
at large might drink some Of the water
leaking from the street sprinklers. The
health department comes to the con-
clusion. therefore, that the mixture may
be continued in use If its composition
is given right it may be worth know

CARTER TEACHER
DIED MONDAY MORNING.
Miss Adice Auge Succumbs to Tumor
of Eye. Well Known Here.

Miss Adice Auge, a prominent young
-Marinette woman, who was engaged as
teacher in one of the Marinette country
schools, died this morning at o'clock
at the home of her parents, Ills Gar
field avenue. Blood poison is given as
the cause of death.
Miss Auge, while teaching, was forced
to give up her duties about week ago,
because of a small humorous growth on
her eye. The eye later became infect
ed and for several days the young
teacher had been paralyzed on one side
of the body.
She was a graduate of the Marinette
high school and also attended the Osk-
kosh normal. Besides her parents, two
sisters, Jessie and Edna Auge, and one
brother, Leonard Auge, all of Mari
nette, survive.
