BADGER FUR BUSINESS GOOD
PeIts in Wisconsin Bring $4,000, 900
Per Year, Says Report of Game
Warden's Department.

misunderstanding of fur bearing
animals is still an industry of much
magnitude in Wisconsin. This is
gathered from figures given to the
state fish and game department. Two

the sales of pelts. Seven hundred
and fifty thousand muskrats, it is
estimated, are trapped in year, and
at As cents rat" are worth $780,
500. Three hundred thousand skunk
skins year are sold for an average
of $3.50, or total of S450,000. One
hundred thousand mink are caught
annually. These are worth on aver
age $3.50 each, or a total of $780,
600. 1t is estimated that other fur
bearing animals, including coons,
foxes, weasels, wildcats, fishers, mar
tens, beavers, offers, gray foxes and
occasional opossums bring the hunt
ers and trappers at least 100000
In the Winneconne marsh district
alone, it is said, 10000 muskrats
have been caught this year. Certain
of these animals bring high prices.
A silver fox was bought recently by
a Madison fur buyer for S275.

NEW LAW TO BE ENFORCED
Parents and Guardians OF iruants
Are Liable TO Fine and inpr'son-

Madison. Truancy among schooi
children in Wisconsin is decreasing
Last year out of 100000 children
who were required by law 10 attenu
school regularly about 30, 900 faiiea
to do so and were consequently
classed as truants. This year the
number of truants will be CONSIDER
ably decreased.
The laws require that children be-
tween the ages Of and Ii years ana
those between IA and 16 years OF
age who are not regularly and law
fully employed shall become enrolled
in and regularly attend some pubic,
private or parochial school as fol-
lows:
Milwaukee, during the entire
school year; in other cities, eignt
months; in towns and villages, SIN
months. The law further provides
that cities of 1000 or more inhabl-
tants shall appoint one or more tru-
ancy officers. For towns, cities or
villages of less than 1000 popula-
ton the sheriff and his deputies are
made truancy officers. II is the duty
of the school principals and teachers
to compare the school enrolment
with the school census reports FOR
the purpose of ascertaining what
children are delinquents and to fur
nish a list OF truant children, to-
gether with list of the names and
addresses of their parents to the
proper truancy officers. Superin-
tendents are further required to re-
port names of delinquents each
month to the state industrial COM
mission.
Upon receipt of the names of tru-
ant children the truancy officers
must notify the persons in control of
such children TO send them to school
within five days of the receipt of the
notice. If this notice is UNDECIDED
that fact must reported to the indus
trial commission by the truancy Off
Ger, who must then bring an action
against the parent or other person in
control of the child for violation OF
the law, such action to be prosecuted
by the district attorney.
Upon conviction, the person shall
be punished by a fine OF not less than
SIS nor more than $50, together with
the costs of the prosecution, or by
Imprisonment in the county jail for
a term not exceeding three months,
or by both fine and Imprisonment.
