CARS WARDROBE COSTLY

The car of Russia is the European
sovereign who spends most on his
wardrobe. The tailor who makes his
ordinary suits says the net annual
profit from them is $4,000, and the
army tailor who is responsible for the
uniforms and court dress makes $15,-
300 a year His majesty never puts
on q suit more than three times, and
each one costs about $50. For silk hats
the car pays $26, and $40 a pair for
gloves. Every year, It is stated. he
purchases a sable cape costing $4,000.
King George, on the other hand, is
one of the most economical of living
monarchs, allowing himself only $780,
BOO a year to dress on. This sum is
spent annually by the kaiser on uni
forms alone The German emperor,
however, pays very little attention to
his civil wardrobe He never pays
more than s35 for suit, which he
thinks nothing Of wearing thirty times
The principal luxury in dress he al
lows himself is In neckties.
With the king of Spain the favorite
article Of dress is silk shirts, in which
be always hunts, and Of which he buys
many dozens every year at $50 each.
The most frugal of all the crowned
heads in the matter Of clothing is the
King of Norway, who spends no more
than an ordinary well-to-do citizen.

people are urged to put up nesting
boxes where the birds may make their
homes and rear their young. In sum
mer these little feathered neighbors
need human protection to shield their
young from the attacks of cats.
Are you going to join the ranks Of
the bird protectors of this land? If
you are now is the time to show your
loyalty to your feathered friends.
Make some nesting houses and get
them up at once. The song birds are
worth protecting and should be pro-
Vided with places to build their homes.
1t isn't difficult to make nesting boxes.
Once the birds have discovered them
they will begin to collect material
with which to line them and make
them soft and 'comfey" for their fam
lilies.
Any small wooden box may be con
verted into a house. Use thin, smooth
boards for the roof Place a board
beneath the house to keep the cats
from climbing up to the birds home.
A good house is made by following
out a large tree limb and cutting a
hole in it for a doorway. For blue
birds make the entrance hole about
the size of a quarter. If the box is
intended for wrens make it smaller.

Nilwaukee.-The Wisconsin Bank
ers' association at the closing session
Of its convention here Endorsed a
resolution voicing disapproval of the
present state income tax law on the
ground that it discriminates against
Wisconsin capital and Wisconsin in
dustries.
II an income tax law is necessary,
members of the association hold that
it should be a national measure.
The proposed compulsory guaran-
tee OF bank deposits also meets with
the opposition of the state bankers.
A plan of mutual insurance of bank
deposits is held to be preferable to a
guarantee feature.
The report of the secretary
showed a membership of 1876, en-
braeing every bank and trust compa-

How to Use Feed Roller.

Never use a roller Immediately
after a heavy rain. But it should be
used as soon as the surface becomes
dry enough to pulverize easily with
out packing tightly The roller should
be used in dry seasons following the
harrow to keep the moisture in the
soil. Of course it is not possible to
use the roller to any extent after
plants are well up but it can always
be used to great advantage in the
preparation of the seed bed. Very
often one rolling viii not mash all the
clods and If the ground is particular
ly rough it should, be narrowed and
rolled and narrowed again until the
soil is thoroughly pulverized.

SETTLERS TO BUY DIRECT
State Board of Public Affairs Has
Plan for Solving Land Prob
lem in Wisconsin.

Madison.-Gov. McGovern has ap-
pointed a committee to Investigate q
proposition laid before the state
board Of public affairs which has to
do with the solution Of the land prob
lem in Wisconsin.
1t has been proposed to the state
board of public affairs by Albert l..
Williams, Madison, that the state
start colony of its own on new
and original plan.
The plan is to put colOnists into
right relationship with tracts OF
non-productive land without paying
tribute TO the spectators or middle
men.
It is proposed that the state &C
quire the land at its cheapest whole
sale price, sell it to coIonists for its
fair market value, the entire profit
to be converted into communal
fund for the benefit Of the colonists.
This is to cut out the petty specu-
latOr who otherwise would be sure to
take advantage of the cheap land and
actually refuses to place it in the
hands of bona-fide settlers at whole
sale prices. 1t is intended also to
multiply the efficiency of individual
savings by using them comparatively.
It is expected to do still more by en-
forcing a community spirit, for the
administration of the communal fund
is left in the hands Of the colOnists
themselves, subject to the veto power
OF the board of commissioners to in
sure against acts of folIy-a reserve
power whiqh it is hoped the commits
sion Will never be obliged to exer-
else.
A cooperative store is planned,
also warehouses for receiving and
marketing products, cooperative
creamery and comparatively owned
demonstration farm with thorough
bred breeding stock.
Not a dollar of appropriation nor
dollar of philanthropy is to be asked
under this plan. The colonists them
selves will furnish all the money; it
will come out of the price of the land,
which is to cost them no more than
its market value

CULTURE OF THE ASPARAGUS
Excellent Remedy for Killing of
Green Slugs Is to Dust Daily With
Air-Slaked Lime.

Stop cutting asparagus when peas
are 1T TO gather. Let the tops grow
until fall. Keep the weeds down by
applying a thick mulch of coarse ma
nure, rotted leaves or grass. If the
little fly appears, dust early in the
morning with dry air-sIacked lime.
Paris green solution may be used in
stead Of lime We have always found
the lime effective If put on as soon as
the sIugs appear. Use fresh air
Stacked lime and dust every morning
until all the worms are killed. AS
paragus grown from seed must be
kept clean of grass and weeds, and
the soil mellow and rich. Use diluted
urine from the stables, or bone phos-
plate, one handful to every 40 inches
Of row, says writer in an exchange.
The best remedy for asparagus rust
IS to cut the tops of close to the
ground and burn Then SOW a thick
coat Of air-slacked lime over the
rows and give clean culture. All
rust stalks should be gathered up and
burnt. If any are left the spores viii
be blown by the wind on to the new
growth. To grow stout plants from
seed, thin out the plants to stand
four inches apart in the row.

weeds with which farmers have to
contend
1t il to be regretted that so far as
the writer knows, no simple or prac-
teal method has been found that will
surely and completely eradicate
French weed. Some farmers have re-
ported methods that have proved sue
cessful with them, but other farmers
have tried. the same methods and
failed.
Some few things have been learned
by experiments, however. If this weed
is to be destroyed, the work must be
done thoroughly. The weed produces
seeds SO profusely that If one plant is
allowed to go to seed large area of
surrounding land will soon be in
tested.
If there is one direction in farming
in which thoroughness is required, it
is in trying to destroy this weed. A
slipshod way will not do, and an ounce
of prevention is worth a thousand
pounds of cure. Farmers whose farms
are free from the French weed should
guard against its incoming with the
utmost vigilance and care.

PIGEONS QUIT CATHEDRAL,

For hundreds Of years pigeons

WAUSAU FLOODED
BY HEAVY RAINS
Bridges Washed Out; Electric
Plant Out of Commission.
LOSS MAY BE A MILLION
Wisconsin River Overfows Banks
When Dams Break, Causing Great
Damage-Waters Recede After Dam
is Dynamited.

Wausau--A storm approaching a
cloudburst swept through northern
Wisconsin, causing foods which
swept away dams and bridges,
washed out railroad tracks in several
places, paraIyzed business in several
cities and caused damage totaIing
several hundred thousands of dol
lars So far as is known there has
been no loss Of life.
The city of Wausau has suffered
the worst from foods following the
giving way of the Brokaw dam near
IomahaWk. The collapse of this
structure let loose a tremendous vol
ume of water, which tore down the
Wisconsin river at a terrific rate,
carrying away bridges and sweeping
off near-shore buildings which lay
in its path.
The food caused the river at this
point to overflow it's banks and en-
croached on a considerable portion
Of the business district, putting the
street railway power plant and water
works system out Of commission. The
city was without electric light and
street cars We're tied up
The cofferdam at RothschiId was
dynamited to relieve the food condl-
lions in Wausau and the water be
gan to slowly recede.
The Kickbusch Wholesale Grocery
company suffered a loss of about
$4,000 to stock by water in the
basement.
Deprived of electric power by the
food the Daily Record-HeraId issue
was run off by automobile power, a
belt running from the auto in the
street to the press in the building
The municipal pumping station
being out of commission and wells
being a rarity in the city, a drinking
water famine threatened the city.
Manitowoc, Green Bay, Shawano,
Oshkosh, Neenah and other cities
were also hard hit, and the total
damage may reach the million dol
lar mark

HAS 20 MINUTES SUNSHINE.

There is a busy town Of 500 inhab-
ltants IN Colorado where the sun
shines but 20 minutes out of each 24
hours This town is River Portal. 1t
Is located in Gunnison canyon and Is
the point from which the great Gun
nlson tunnel was run that the waters
OF that river might be conducted to-
the deserts beyond the mountain
range. The Gunnison canyon was
steep and precipitous and opposed
great difficulties to the engineers who
sought to divert its waters. These
engineers cut a road in the solid rock
OF the canyons side and at the foot
OF that road planted a town. This
town was the headquarters for the
spectacular engineering enterprise
that they had in mind In the town
lived the working force which was
driving the tunnel through the noun
tain.
This town was perched upon the
piece of ground at the foot of the
great cliffs that was most nearly
level Even this spot, however. Of
tered an opportunity of placing the
dwellings only in an irregular way
and one above the other. Here in
the mountains has existed for four
years a busy little village with all
the elements of modern civilization
brought with it into this isolation. In
the picture Uncle Sans public school
appears as the highest building in the
right hand hack0NOu1d
The strangest thing about this VIII
lage is the fact that it has but 20
minutes Of sunshine every day. This
is due to the precipitous walls that
rise on each side of the stream and
shut out the rays Of the sun There
is the brief period of 20 minutes be-
tween 11:20 and 11:40 when the sun
peeps over the bluff on the one side
of the stream and before it's rays have
been cut off by the high cliffs on the
other side. This one short span OF
sunlight is all that these people OF
the canyon get year in and year out.
Artificial light bills run high here.
