SHOULD CLEAN UP HERDS
Farmers Are Advised to Secure State
Aid for Tubercuiar Cattle Be-
fore Offer Closes.

Madison.--In view of the fact that
state compensation for tubercular-
lied animals will cease on July l.
1913, the state livestock sanitary
board is now starting a systematic
campaign to dispose of reactors in
Wisconsin herds Agents of the
board will test all herds, giving own
ers opportunity to take full advan-
tage of the STATE s offer. The board
has a plentiful supply of tubereulin
on hand
The law, according to State Vet
erinarian o. H. Eliason, requires
there shall be no discrimination in
the distribution of tuberculin be-
tween veterinarians and men who
have taken examinations to qualify
to make the tests. A recent ruling
by the board requires that the IL
censes held by others than veteri-
narians shall be renewed from year
to year.
Those owners of cattle who expect
to be paid for dead animals, victims
of diseases, are advised by DR. Ella
son to clean up their herds
promptly.

Presidents Son Kept Busy Dur
ing Holiday Week.
Accepted So Many Invitations TO At

Holidays That He Didn't Find
Time for Anything Else.

Washington. Master Charlie Taft,
the younger son of the president, was
home for the holidays, and was quite
the busiest young person, socially, in
Washington Charles has always fig
ured as an out-of-doors boy. one who
loves to sail boat or take swim,
play game of baseball or kick foot
ball, and when his father was seere-
tary of war and Charlie was quite n
little chap, he even delighted to shovel
of the snow in front of the Taft home.
In fact, Charles was rather contemptu-
Gus of affairs social. but his point OF
view has changed with this homecom-
ing.
Many stories OF Charles exploits in
the quite young set have already been
told, but his banner day, the day he
beat all records. was on Thursday OF
Christmas week. Master Charles start
ed out with luncheon at the home of
Mrs. Benjamin Macon for her young
sons, likewise home from school; he
then rushed off to a tea given by Miss
Squire, which was followed by a din
ner given by Mrs, John c. Hewson at
her home in Sixteenth street, after
which he and some of the other young
guests departed for the Washington
club, where a dance was In progress,
at which the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor and Mrs. Nagel were hosts
for their children's friends. Master
Charles got home in the hours just
preceding the wee sma ones, a bit
tired, but very enthusiastic. just as q
beginner in anything always is, and
now he throws no more stones at so
ciety or its devotees.

DEMOCRATS DROP
CONVENTION PLANS
Old Method Of Choosing Ma
tiOnaI Delegates Rejected.
FOR DISTRICT CONF RENCEs
State Central Committee Takes Ac-

Weather Keeps Down Attendance
at Gathering.

Milwaukee. There will be no
democratic state convention for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
national convention at Baltimore. BY
a vote of Is to the democratic state
central committee. at a meeting held
here, decided that it was not best to
hold a convention
Before the committee went into
executive session there was an open
meeting Prominent democrats ex-
pressed opinions regarding the ques-
ton of a convention.
After a discussion lasting almost
an hour the committee went into ex-
ecutive session. Here there was more
discussion, after which a vote was
taken and the convention plan de-
feated overwhelmingly on the frst
ballot.
1t is probable now that district
conferences will be held by the
friends of the different candidates in
each congressional district similar to
those being held on the republican
side, where delegates will be nomi-
mated
Outside the members of the COM
mittee there were few democrats in
attendance from outside the city, the

prevent their coming to the meeting
