SCOUTS MAY BUY FARM
Plan State Reservation for Badger
6oys-Site Near Valley juno
ton Under Consideration.

Madison. Plans are under way for
the purchase of a state reservation
for the Boy Scouts of Wisconsin. One
Of the sites considered for such q
reservation where the scouts of Wis
consin could gather each summer is

Indiana. The farm, with it's thirty
acres of cranberries, would be work

the source of considerable income
Efforts may be made to have the
farm, which is part of a camping re-
sort, bought by company of men in
terested in the Boy Scouts. After
purchase the grounds would be self
supporting. All state patrols of the
Boy Scouts would be welcome to

WANTS LIMIT FOR
NEW STATE BANKS
State Commissioner Points Out
Defect of Present Laws.
CANNOT REFUSE APPROVAL
Thinks Many New Institutions Create
Needless and Improbable Conn
petition. Thus Menacing the Sta
bility of Financial Conditions.

Madison-That there is a serious
defect in the banking law of Wis
sonsin, in that there is no adequate
provision whereby permission to or
nize new bank may be refused
: the department, is pointed out in
= recent report by Commissioner of
Banking A. e. Kuolt. The commits
sicner declares that the number of
banks, fifty-six, organized during
the year 1911, is out of proportion
70 the present needs of tile state.
while some of these new banks
were needed in new communities,
saws Commissioner Kuolt, ''or in
places which have outgrcwn their
banking facilities, others, located
where such facilities are adequate to
existing business, create needless and
improbable competition. Untram-
meled competition is menace to the
stability of the affected banks. Since
it is the intention of bank regulation
to strengthen, and unnecessary COM
petition weakens, the need arises OF
some rule to restrict competition"
Commissioner Kuolt points out
that under the provisions of the ma
tional bank act the comptroller of
the currency is clothed with power
to refuse charters to new banks for
cause. He says that the only statu-
tory provision in Wisconsin for the
refusal of the prescribed certificate
of authority to commence business is
contained in section 202412 of the
code and is inadequate both as to
cause and time of refusal. The cause
spehiced must be that the bank has
been formed for other than logiti-
mate banking business. Other valid
causes are not recognized by this
statute. The time falls upon the
date when the bank is ready to open
for business. To refuse charter at
this eleventh hour would cause hard
ship and financial loss to stockhold-
ers, many of whom might be inno-
cent of any design to violate or to
circumvent the law.
The power of refusal should be
coincident with the first overtures to
organize new bank says the COM
missioner.

FIRE RATES ARE EXCESSIVE
House Owners of Wisconsin Are
overcharged an Aggregate of
100000 Annually.

Madison - Milwaukee, Oshkosh.
Madison, La Crosse and other Wis
consin cities are paying excessive
rates for dwelling house insurance,
aggregating an oyercharge of up
ward of 100000 annually. This is
one of the conclusions demonstrated
by the evidence presented to the leg
islative fire insurance investigating
committee, according to a statement
made by Insurance Commissioner
Ekern
The testimony also indicates that
Wisconsin is profitable field for in
surance companies in that the ratio
of losses to premiums is more favor
able than in the country as a whole
Excepting the year 1910, which was
an unfavorable year for all classes
of companies in Wisconsin, the per-
centages for each year show a more
favorable loss ratio in Wisconsin
than upon the business of these com
panies as a whole The losses in
Wisconsin are about per cent lower
than outside OF this state.

ECZEMA DlSFIGURED

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. II.
Albrecht, Box SS3, West Point, Neb.,
Oct. &c, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample Of
each, with 32-page book, viii be mailed

To Protect Against Forest Fires.

Oshkosh.-Although no definite
action was taken, lumbermen and
timber land owners of Northern Wis
consin, who met here decided to take
steps for the formation of a forest
fire protective association. A COM
mittee will be appointed to ascertain
the sentiment among the owners of
private lands and the prospects are
that careful system of fire protec-
ton will be established. 1t was
brought out in the discussions that
the states system of preventing fires
was all right for state land, but it is
unsatisfactory for private land and
it was held that to prevent the fires
was more essential than stopping
them after they were started.
