The Lords Advertisements.

Willie had been to see his old
nurse, and she had shown him her
treasures, including some very strik
tngly colored scripture texts which
graced her walls.
A few days afterward his aunt gave
him dime to spend at a bazaar.
Seeing that he seemed unable to find
what he wanted, she asked him what
he was looking for.
II am looking for one of the Lords
advertisements, like Mary has in her
room,' said Willie.

Senator Newlands of Nevada was
soaring in debate one day, soaring SO
high he hit the ceiling" He realized
he was getting a trifle flowery and to
excuse himself said: Indeed, Mr.
President, perfervid oratory may be
pardoned, for this subject furnishes
all the food eloquence needs"
THAT sounded pretty good to Mr..
Newlands, but he was a bit abashed
when he read in the Congressional
Record next day that he asserted his
topic furnished all the food elephants
need"

No careful grower of fruit allows
his trees to come to the bearing stage
without spraying them several times

and the reason for making the applica-

Would Guarantee Bank Deposits.

Senator Paul Husting Of Mayville,
Democrat, is the author of the first
bill for guaranty Of bank deposits to
be offered at this session. 1t is pat
termed after the Nebraska law.
Under the Husting bill each state
bank is required to lay aside a fund
to be made UP of one-quarter of one
per cent. of annual deposits. Unlike
the plan Of the Oklahoma statute, this
fund is not to be paid into the state
treasury for use when bank breaks,
but is to be kept in separate fund by
the individual bank. The money may
be placed in the reserve or otherwise,
but strict account Of it must be kept
under the direction Of the state bank
commissioner. The theory of the
Husting measure is that when any
bank is closed it's guarantee fund will
go the way of other assets; but the
other state banks guarantee funds
will be called upon to make good the
deposits in the defunct bank.

Bill Against Tips on Pullman Cars.

Bill Against Tips on Pullman Cars.
The lordly Pullman car porter and
the equally majestic waiter are in Sc
rious danger of losing some of their
emoluments.
Assemblyman G. J. Johnson of Mari
nette will introduce bill in the as
sembly preventing employees from re-
ceiving tips. Mr.. Johnson provides in
his proposed bill that any railroad
company must keep in plain sight in
cars operated by them the sections Of
the statutes applying to this subject.
Mr.. Johnson hits at tips given with
the knowledge of the employer.
About the tips given without the
knowledge of the employer there Is
no provision in the bill. Any employ
er who permits his employees to take
tips is liable to a fine of from SIS to
$4,000 and Imprisonment in the county
Jail not exceeding so days, or both
fine and Imprisonment. AS he is not
likely to know of the tips which his
employees receive there is little like
lihood of his going to jail OF having
to pay a fine. Mr.. Johnson is very
much in earnest with his bill. He
thinks if it passes that the tipping evil

Madison.-The joint legislative com
mittee which will make the regular BIZ
ennial trip around the state charitable
and penal institutions began the first
leg of it's 'junket" with visit to the
state hospital for the insane at Men
dota. The committee will go no farther
this week, but next week will begin
the longer journey which will take
them to all parts Of the state. The
itinerary for this tour has not yet
been made out and probably will not
be until it is known whether or not
new board of control is to be appoint
ed within the next few days.
The joint hearing on the income tax
bill was continued and will occupy the
remainder Of the week.
The emergency bill to compensate
the former insurance commissioner for
the expenses of examinations of COM
panies was on the calendar for final
consideration and it was expected that
the measure would engender consid-
cradle fireworks from the Democratic
side. No difficulty is anticipated by
the Republican majority in passing it,
however, and aid may be received
from the Social Democrats, and pos

Renort on Forest Reserves.

Report on FOREST reserves
"The state forest reserves have
grown in seven years from 10000 to
$4,000 acres, but the state must have
a reserve of at least 100000 acres in
order to preserve the head waters OF
our most important rivers; to aid In
the retaining of our wood-using indus
tries, and to protect the beauty of our
northern lake region" declares State
Forester E. NJ Griffith in his annual
report, which was distributed among
the members of the legislature. Mr..
Griffith says the forest fire loss In this
state was $9,000,00O in 1908 and over
Sc, 10000 in 1910, and that the prob
lem to be solved is not one of fighting
fires, but of preventing them. He
urges the passage of the proposed bill
to levy a tax OF two-tenths of a mill
annually for the use Of the state board
of forestry, which will yield about
100000 a year, to cover the cost Of
adding to the reserve acreage and to
establish an adequate fire warden sys-
tenn.

c. B. Wood, the leading Democratlc

county, has adopted as one OF the
planks in his platform the Application
of part Of the school fund to the Dgnt-
ing Of children's diseases.
1.-THE school fund is based upon school
attendance" Mr. Wood says, and every
time there IS an epidemic Of measles,
humps, whoOping cough or scarlet te-
yer. the attendance shrinks and the ap-
propriation shrinks with il. 1t is my
idea that solely from a business stand
point ii would be a good thing Tor pafI
of the school fund to be applied to Pne
fighting of these diseases, and 1 De
Iieve the school districts would gain IN

ance are greater than would be the cost
of fighting the epidemics.
