SOME FARM NOTES
FOR NEAR FARMERS

We have often wondered why
the boot owl is so unpopular
member of society. The voice of
the male owl is fully as melodious
as that of the average tenor, and
his repertoire is just as extensive.
We have seen men try to insert a
44-calibre bullet IN the lung of a
tuneful owl simply because that
bird toes and inhalea angle worms,
but the same men will turn around
and take drag from an Egyptian
cigaratte with flavor that would
turn the stomach of an Angora
goat. Life is full of inconslstence
The Holstcin calf may be all
right as an article Of virtue, but
as bread willer he is a more
dismal failure than string beans
on the pastry course. The
Hulstein inherits love for sleep
and ground feed. and it is a toss
up which one he would rather
have. You can put a calf of this
species IL a hammock and rock
him to sleep with burst Of song,
and unless you cut the rope or ring
the dinner bell he Will freeze to
his humble pallet until his
corpuslcs coaGulate. When it
comes to Incidence. the offspring
Of a HDlsein heifer makes the
Brotherhood of Hobos look buster
than small boy with the shingles.
More Ho!stein calves come to a
violent death at the hands Of red
automobiles and irrate manure
spreaders than all other beasts of
the field co nbineA, unless it is
the Buff Cochin rooster, which will
stand up in the road and crow i'm
the face of sev en-passengcr
touring car. The only way to get
any action out Of the Hnlstcin is
to saunter up behind him when he
is wrapped in thought and jar
him out of his trance with n
four-tined fork.
1t IS right to rhapSodize about
the man who whistles while be
works, but nothing will make q

Offering quicker than loose Tipped

DIAZ'S IRON GRIP
BECOMING WEAKER
LimantoUr Is Out for More Liberal
RuIe-Reforms to Follow
Peace.

Paris.-Jose Ives Limantour, min
lister of finance In President Diaz's
cabinet, In an interview here indicated
that the iron grip Of Diaz on Mexico
is becoming weaker and that a result
Of the revolution is the forerunner OF
more liberal rule in the republic.
The government, says Senior Liman-
tour, should grant a reform of the
evils that led to the instruction. AS
an essential preliminary to peace he
demands that the insurgents lay down
their arms pending negotiations.
Importance is given to these declar-
atoms by the fact that Senior Liman-
tour has an international reputation
as one of the ablest statesmen of Mex
leo and that he always has been
stanch supporter of Diaz. His change
of front is taken to mean that a
progressive section of the ruling class
has come to realization Of the neces-
sity of relaxing the rigid govern
mental system of the nation to meet
popular demands.
Should the insurgents fail to ADOPT
the advice to return to their homes
pending the initiation Of negotiations
with the government, Senator Imam
tour foresees the likelihood Of a pro-
tracted and wasting struggle. for he
says the federal forces are no match
for the cowboy insurgents, whose nim-
ble-footed ponies easily escape from
the ravines and mountain Businesses.
Accordingly he recommends the de-
liberate formation of guerrilla bands
by the government for the purpose
Of combating the insurgents on their
own conditions
For himself, the minister said that
he had no political ambitions, though
he had been frequently urged to con.
test the presidency with President
Diaz. He expects to start home with.
in two weeks.

III LEAP IN SEA
FROM BURNING SHIP
Vessel Arrives at Mazatlan Port
a Mass of Flames.
ALL PICKED UP By BOATS
Flames Burst Out on Steamer Banito
Juarez as She Enters Harbor-
Passengers Become Panic
Stricken.

MazatIan, Lower California. -
The Pacific steamship Banito Juarez,
plying between Inglaterra and this
port, arrived in the bay with flame and
smoke bursting forth from nearly
every part of the ship, and was burned
to the waters edge in sight OF nearly
the entire population of the city, which
was lined along the harbor front.
One hundred and twelve passengers
on board jumped into the shallow wa
ter of the bay and saved their lives,
but lost all their baggage and other
effects.
The flames were discovered on the
steamer by the pilot who boarded her
outside the breakwater. He found
the coal bunkers to be on fire. The
vessels cargo consisted mainly of
tequila, which contains a heavy per-
centage of alcohol, and heavy ship
ment of matches. The matches were
ignited from the heat Of the burning
coal, the flames quickly spread to the
tequila and In few moments the YES
sci was a roaring mass of flames.
The crew fought mainly with the
hose while Captain Miranta got all
the passengers on deck to windward.
The flames became SO hot that the
sailors ceased playing the streams
Of water and turned them on the pas
sengers, whose clothing had began
to catch fire from the intense heat.
Meanwhile, all possible speed was be-
ing made toward the harbor and safe
ty. When the ship came in close to
the harbor, scores of tugs and
launches, manned by merchants, Of
ficials and society men, rushed to the
assistance Of the burning vessel. The
passengers became panic-stricken and
jumped from the decks into the bay.
They were picked up by boats which
had come alongside. None Of the crew
or passengers were injured.
When the steamer was finally abar-
doned, she was only a charred mass.
The steamer and cargo were unin-
sured and the loss is total.

DEMOCRATS HOLD
RE|NS IN HOUSE
New Rule Gives Minority Power
Over Appropriations.
HOBS0N PREDICTS GREAT WAR
Former Naval Officer Says Country
Will Be Involved in Bitter Strife
With Japan Within Ten
Months.

Washington. BY the adoption
of rule which, when invoked by
two-thirds vote, forthwith reduces
the time of debate on any pending
measure to forty minutes and cuts OF
all amendments the omnibus war
claims bill, against which a filibuster
had been conducted since Friday, was
passed in short order. The effect OF
the rule Is to put an end to filibuster-
ing in the house at this session of
congress.
The Democrats accepted the rule, as
the two-thirds vote necessary gives
them a veto power over the proposed
suspension. Chairman DalZell of the
committee on rules first presented it
with the provisions that majority of
the house could suspend the rules. The
Democrats protested SO vigorously that
the modified rule was brought out.
Mann's f1libuster on the war claims
bill began Friday. He succeeded in
having stricken from the bill the pro-
vision for the payment Of overtime,
navy yard claims.

Representative Richmond Pearson
Hobson predicted this country would
be at war with Japan in ten months,
and that the war would last six years,
Or perhaps decade.
THE nations of the world and our
own financiers will be petitioning the
government to end what will prove at
first to be for us a disastrous conflict,
but we will fight on after humiliation
until we conquer" said Hobson.
do you think Japan could finance a
war with the United States?" asked
Gaines of West Virginia.
Then Captain Hobson, who had
served in the navy, told of the difficult
ties confronting this country in a con-
f1ict with Japan. The Panama canal
will not have been built and Japan,
after taking the Philippines, Guam and
Hawaii, could occupy Panama to pre-
vent completion of the canal
Captain Hobson predicted great loss
to this country in treasure and life, be-
cause of unpreparedness for the COM
ing conflict, and urged immediate au
thorization for four battleships with
necessary transports and Golfers.

KONOP WINS SEAT
BY COURT RULING
kuesTERMANN LOSES CONTEST
FOR NINTH DISTRICT CON-
GRESSIONAL HONORS.
MAY APPEAL TO CONGRESS
Decision of State Supreme Cour'
Rules Board of Canvassers Neea
Not Go Behind Face OF Returns
in Awarding Election Certificate.

Madison.-The supreme court mas
ruled. in effect, that Thomas Konop
is the legal choice of the Ninth WIS
consin district for congress to sue
coed Gustav Kuestermann. The de-
cision of the court insures the seat
to Mr.. Konop unless the house itself
Gusts him.
The ruling was on the demurrer
filed by Kuestermann to the return
of the election made by the state
board of canvassers, in the manda-
mus action brought by Kuestermann
to compel the state board of canvass
ers to award him the certificate OF
election.
The whole contest turned on a
singular complication arising on the
returns from Oconto county.
The certificate of the county board
of canvassers of that county stated
that Konop received 1850 votes in
the county. If he did, it is admitted
that he had a majority of one in the
district; but the tabulated statement
which is attached to the certificate
and is made by law part of it, show
ing the votes cast in each precinct,
showed sixteen votes for Konop as
cast in the first precinct of the town
of Pensaukee. If this was the cor
rect vote in that precinct, then KonOp
had only 1,444 votes in the county,
and such was the first footing at the
hnt Of hIVt
the number sixteen was written a
notation as follows: twenty-five
shown on the tally sheet, inspectors
statement, shows 16," and under the
first footing of 1,444, six had been
added, making the total of ,450.
Kuestermann claimed that no at
tention could be paid by the canvass
ing board or by the court to the
memorandum, but that the figures
sixteen in the regular column must
control, and hence that on the face
of the returns it must be held that
only 1,444 votes were cast for Konop
in Oconto county, and in that case
Kuestermann was elected by ma
jority of five votes. The state can
vassers held that they must be con-
trolled by the certificate, which
stated that Konop received 1850
votes, and awarded the certificate to
him.
Representative Kuestermann has
issued a statement at Washington in
timating that he may ask a recount
before the house of representatives.

TRUST BIG LOSER
ON COLD STORAGE
Publicity and Economy OF Wives
Wreck Corner-Comblne Meets
Waterloo.

Chicago. Herbert A. Emerson
president of the United States
Packing company Of this city, who
will testify before the subcommittee
Of the state senate committee on live
stock and dairying, in statement de-
clared that millions of pounds of but
ter. and $4,000 cases of eggs in cold
storage which are usually consumed
before February 1, remain unsold this
year.
Mr.. Emerson in simplifying his state
ment said that the cold storage trust
has lost millions of dollars within the
last two months through the smashing
OF the cold storage corner on eggs and
butter.
Consumers throughout the country
will be greatly pleased to know that
the butter and egg trust which has
had such firm grip on the throats OF
consumers and producers alike for the
last five years, has at last met its Wa
terloo, and this has been brought about
through the publicity given the opera
tons of the trust by the press" said
Mr.. Emerson.
There are today in storage in the
United States In the warehouses which
report to the association known as
the American Warehousemen's associ-
alton, approximately 100000 pounds
Of butter, and in the warehouses which
do not report to the American Ware
housemen's association an equal
amount, or about 10000, 900 pounds of
surplus frozen butter taken away from
the consumers throughout the last IL
months.
1T was held with the expectation of
ly 40 cents to As cents per pound for
this butter for which the producers re-
ceive only about 20 cents per pound,
and in paying the producer for his but
ter 1t is bought In the form of what Is
known as butter fat-in other words,
they buy the cream separated from
the milk and the trust concerns opera
ting creameries figure on what is
known as an overrun Of from 80 to 35
per cent
Nearly year ago the press began
to call attention to the operations of
the butter and egg trust and the result
has been that the housewife has kept
close watch on her bills and has econo-
mized whenever opportunity presented
itself. The result is at present the
finest creamery butter can be bought
throughout the United States at from
q cents to 20 cents per pound"
