ministration of the estate of Solomon

being dissipated by the. administrator
appointed in Cook county and that GER

The Wisconsin exhibit at the Chi

under the official auspices of the state
board of immigration, occupies prom
ineht position in the coliseum and a
more prominent one in the esteem of
the visitors The exhibit is splendidly
arranged and to any judge of agricul-

the most substantial exhibit in the
building.
Conspicqlously arranged is the oar

the world IS sweepstakes, corn SO dry

attractive products in grains.
The potato exhibit is commonly pro-
nounced the best in the building. The
grasses ,clovers, alfalfa and sheaf
grains have no equal as a whole. The
vegetable exhibit has no superior.
Lectures are delivered twice every
day in one of the halls that have been
constructed in the building. Hon. John

Saturday was Wisconsin day and,
fortunately, that was one of the best

Apples and Eggs

"a Cleveland (Ohio) banker saw at
his grocery some red apples that
caught his fancy, He priced them.
They were fifty cents a dozen. Then
he got to thinking about eggs and
apples-there were apples that came
higher than eggs, and eggs were dear
enough. Where do these apples come
from?' he asked, and he was told they
were from the Bitter Root valley in
Montana. Then as he sat in front of
his CRATE in the winter nights our
friend kept thinking of apples and eggs
eggs and apples-with this result:
Last summer he bought ticket to
Montana, and spent his vacation in the
Bitter Root valley. He not only had a
acres of irrigated apple lands. This
winter he will spend his evenings
dreaming of his future summer home.
He found a climate ideally suited to
apple raising-cool nights and a soil
that grows hard, juicy, fawless apple
that is shipped all over the apple
eating world. He found university
graduates building bungalow homes in
a valley where the winter climate is
as perfect as the summer climate, and
where the sun shines 800 days in the
year. Golfers Weekly

KILL TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL
Committee Investigating Plans Holds
That the County Is Not Ready to
Y Undertake Work-Will Name Com
mlttee to Investigate Conditions.

ne city mas at last found a friend
with the county board and just before
the adjourned session on Wednesday
afternoon the committee on finance
brought in its report. 1t was the re-
port which had been prepared earlier
IN the day, but one item in it had been
changed ami that was the item for
the county tax which in the original
report had been placed at $27, 760. In
the report as it was finally sent to the
board and as adopted by the all but
unanimous vote the county tax had
just oeen cut in two so that the
amount levied for county tax was
$4,000. This will make material re-
duction in the. amount of the state
and county taxes to be paid by the
city and while before the session of
the board on Wednesday afternoon
the city finance committee was facing
an increase of nearly $4,000 under
the new apportionment of the taxes
the city will have a decrease of lit
tie less than a thousand dollars and
that $4,000 will come in mighty handy
to the city council this year.
1t is stated that the committee had
made plans to make the levy large in
order to provide for the contingency
of the board deciding to erect a tuber
culosis hospital, but the necessity of
such an appropriation vanished at the
meeting Wednesday afternoon when
the committee which had been in
charge made report declaring that
the county was not yet ready to take
up such a plan.
The idea, however, was not killed
without hope as it is the plan of the
board to name committee of five
which will make Investigations dur
ing the coming year and when the
board meets next fall this committee
will be able to tell the board just
what the need of the county is and
what the cost Of providing for this
need will be. 1t is certain that the
work done this year has done much
good in the county. The members of
the board are opening their eyes to
the necessity of such an institution
and it lis pretty certain that another
year will bring relief for consump-
tives.
The killing of the plan for the train
ing school had a lot to do with the
killing Of the plan for the hospital as
the board had been badly divided on
that project and this division made
impossible an agreement to go ahead
and build the hospital.
At the meeting of the board on
Wednesday afternoon the new contract
with the sheriff was made and he will
receive $500 more next year than he
did this year. Much Of the earnings
of the sheriff had been cut off by the
opening of the city lookup and the
members of Che county board believ-
ed that the increase was justified
one. The new contract had the unani-
nous support Of the members of the
board.
The board directed County Clerk
Russell H. Jones TO go to Madison to-
day to attend the sessions of the state
highway commission at which time the
various road systems outlined by the
counties in the state will be taken up
and considered The clerk is suppos-
ed to take care of any suggestions
that may be made in regard to the
system of roads in this county.
