CENSUS ARRESTS DELAYED
rive Superior Men Are Likely to Be
Nabbed for Alleged Padding of
Reports-Withold Warrants.

Superior.-As yet there have been
no developments in connection with
the alleged padding of the last fed
eral census.
Arrests of at least five local people
are expected, but will not occur I'M
til Monday at the earliest, as the
United States marshal has not yet
received any warrants in connection
with the affair.
G. o. Hoover, who was arrested at
Madison recently, was the enumera-
tor in the Fourth ward of Superior,
where the special agents for the
census department report that they
found an enormous overcount He
was formerly a stationary engineer IN
this city, but recently passed the city

HORSE EXHIBITORS APPEAL
Call Upon Railroad Commss for
for Same Shipping Rate to Fairs
as Given Other Live Stock.

Milwaukee.-An appeal has beef
made to the state railway commits
sion Jointly by the state board of
agriculture and the breeders and ex-
hibitors of horses at state and coun-
ty fairs in Wisconsin to relieve them
of alleged discrimination made by
the railroads in rates charged for
horses sent for exhibition purposes
to state and county fairs.
The railroads of Wisconsin charge
a one-Way rate on cattle, hogs and
sheep when sent as exhibits for
county fairs, state fairs, cattle shows,
cattle sales, etc. The usual course
of procedure is to charge full rate
for each head of cattle, sheep or
swine exhibit and return the herds
to their place of shipment free.
A meeting of leading horse breed
ers may be held here to adopt plans
for inducing the railroads to grant
them the same concessions as are
given cattle breeders.
An attempt will be made to adjust
the rates before the county fair sea-
son opens so that the smaller shows
will be given the same advantage
as the state fair.

GRAFTON HAS $40, 900 FIRE
Burning of Second Foundry in Town
n Within a Month Arouses Sus-
picion of lncendiarism.

Port shington.-Fire of un-
known origin totally destroyed the
Grafton Iron foundry at Grafton, six
miles from here. The loss is esti-
mated at $4,000. Nentzloff Bros
are the owners.
A peculiar coincidence is the fact
that only about four months ago the
Globe foundry, also Grafton in
dustry, suffered a loss of $4,000 by
fire.
While the owners refuse to make
any statements concerning the origin
OF the blaze, a rumor in Port Wash
ington tonight suggested the suspi-
c1on that the fire was incendiary.
Between forty and fifty men were
employed by the company, and will
be without work.
The flames from the building could
be seen for a great distance and for
a time it was feared they would
spread to nearby buildings and sweep
the town.
With the destruction of the Graf
ton foundry the village is minus its
largest industry. For years the
Grafton and Globe foundries have
given employment to nearly 100 men.
1t is not known whether the plant
will be rebuilt.

ment Of the passing of control of the

associate editor of Golfers Weekly.
1t is announced that Mr.. Jones has
bought the stock of DR.. Amos P.
Wilder, American consul at Shanghai.
and that the new editor and publish
er is progressive and that he will
stand for the best in civic and ma
tional life.
The statement notes the reason for
the sale in the fact that Mr.. Jones
proposed to start a new afternoon
daily in Madison had he not been
successful in securing control of the
State Journal, and that in the in
terests of the public generally the
maintenance of only one such paper
was the part of wisdom.

of extra tasks and keeping unruly pu-

punishment would be administered at

had argued without Mrs Bedding.

ENCAMPMENT OF

STATE GUARDSMEN CLOSE AC-
INVITES AT CAMP DOUGLAS
WITH BIG SHAM BATTLE.
MEET is MOST SUCCESSFUL
Regiments Show Marked Improve
nsnt in Military Work-First Regi-
ment RepuIses Attack of Second
and Third in Battle.

Camp Douglas.-The 1911 en-
tampment practically closed with the
sham battle when the First battalion
held the wooded defile north of camp
against the combined attacks Of the
Second and Third battalions.
The problem was one in rear
guard formation and d detachment
from company G was protecting the
rear when the attacking party came
up. A brisk fire from the extreme
rear guard forced the enemy to de-
ploy, giving the supports a chance
to get into action, and so the First
battalion was saved
1t has been on the whole the most
successful encampment in the history
of the guard. The regiments excelled
in the features of military work in
which they have hitherto led, but
showing marked Improvement in
those in which they were deficient.
The Third still leads in shooting, the
Second has made great gains in its
close order work and guard duty,
while the First, excelling in military
courtesy and discipline, has made
great strides in its shooting.

SPRING SHOOTING UNLAWFU Ill
State Fish and Game Warden Shots
Corrects False impression Con-
corning Duck Hunting.

misunderstanding ducks in the
spring will be just as unlawful in
1912 as heretofore, according to
State Fish and Game Warden John
A. Sholts. In recently published
summary of the game laws as chang
ed or continued by the recent legis-
lature, a mistake was made in stat
ing the time of the open season for
ducks, the incorrect period being
given as from September 1 to May
1. The right period is from Septem-
Der 1 to January /, which precludes
spring shooting. The mistake had
caused many sportsmen to fear that
spring shooters had slipped one
over on the legislature, which body
was distinctly antagonistic to the
idea of extending the open season.

1t pays to feed sheep grain on pas
ture.
A little fed regularly goes lopg
way to make them profitable.
The extra growth of wool will pay
alone.
There is no better general feed than
good green grass for growing and pro
ducing farm animals.
Whenever you discover a sheep
limping along, catch him and examine
his feet for rot.
Cold floors, like cement floors, next
to starving, prevents thrift more than
anything else.
Without pure air and abundant ex-
ercise there can be no sound or heal
thy development
Dark, unsanitary, poorly lighted and
filthy stalls are sure breeders of dis
appointment in calf raising.
If sows and pigs are properly fed
and cared for from the first, this can
be done with safety end profit
If sows are expected to raise a fall
litter, it is best to wean the spring
pigs at from eight to ten weeks old.
Separate the pastures in which you
keep the ewes and the Weaned lambs
so far apart that they will not hear
each other call.
Some breeders claim that six or
seven weeks is long enough for the
pigs to remain with the SOW. but this
| think. is extreme.
Cement floors are best for feeding
purposes, but it is our belief that
hog should always sleep on a board
floor with plenty of clean bedding
The future of the mutton crop de-
ponds upon the attention given the
young lambs, and the degree to which
they are kept growing from the start.
