In New York state preparations are
under way for marking the main trual

it not be well for each state to wait a

A STORY of largely improved safe
guards for the public health, lessened
contagious disease, and the states pa
ternalistic care of the poor people OF
Wisconsin who need the healing hand
of science is told in the biennial report
of the state board of health and the
state board of vital statistics, issued by
Secretary C. A. Harper. The record
for 1911 shows that 2, 405 packages of
antitoxin serum for INDECENT persons
were supplied to local boards of health
and that 1,O95 were furnished in the
first six months of 1912. The total cost
was $4,288. 20. The ordinary retail
price would have been SIS, 942. so. The
saving to the poor persons who receiv-
ed its benefit is represented to be SILL
$3.50. In little over two years 280
persons were treated for rabies at the
Pasteur institute at a cost of less than
SIS, 700. The regular price for such
treatment would have been S34, 200, the
reduced rate meaning saving of $685.
500 in treatment charges alone. Poor
people are treated free. The Pasteur
institute records show that 206 persons
were bitten by dogs, three by cats,
seven by cows, six by horses, five by
human beings and one by pet coyote.
One animal bit eight persons. Each Of
seven animals bit seven persons. The
board warns against unmuzzled dogs.

common of late. The thievery which
began on a petty scale has grown to
sizeable proportions. At first it was
limited to the amount of tobacco which
could be carried away in ones arms.
The practice proved so profitable that
enterprising thieves visited farmers
barns and took off the bundled leaf by
the wagon load.
Growers have determined to end to-
bacco stealing. William Helmenstein
of Hartford and his son-in-law, j. Gold,
we're arrested in Hartford tobacco
warehouse last Wednesday on a charge
of the theft of ten bundles of tobacco
from the shed of a South Windsor,
Conn.,. grower. The prisoners furnish
ed bonds of $500 each for appearance
for trial this week. The same defend
ants are also charged with the theft of
tobacco from Andrew S. Bidwell of
East Hartford, and will be given
hearing on the charge this week.
Tobacco is being delivered to the
warehouses in enormous quantities.
The roads are in fine condition and the
farmers are making the most of the
opportunity to do heavy teaming. Few
crops have as yet been rejected out
right. 1t is reported that pole-burn is
more prevalent than had been expected
and that growers are meeting buyers

THE 1912 sugar beet crop is by far
the largest on record. The late season,
the splendid weather of September to
December resulted in large tonnage
and high percentage of sugar. The
harvesting of the crop was easy, as
very little freezing weather occurred
until the bulk of the beets was out of
the ground. This is another crop which
has done remarkably we'll under unfav-
orable conditions Think of sugar beets
grown in Iowa and averaging II per
cent of sugar, and in Minnesota Is per
cent? High sugar content is expected
in Colorado and Utah and California,
but in the humid states IL to IA per
cent was formerly considered the limit.
Then Is to q tons per acre were dug
in many fields. The acreage of 1912
has proved to be very much greater
than the preceding year, and the
amount of sugar manufactured will be
correspondingly large. The industry is
exceedingly popular. 1t is great i'm
portance from the farmers as we'll as
from the factory standpoint. If poll
ticians will let this industry alone it
will not be many years until all the
sugar consumed in the United States
will be produced at home.

IT NOW transpires that the apportion-
ment made for the inauguration of the
parcels post service on January 1, 1913,
is entirely inadequate. On this account
some uneasiness is felt over the posi-
bility of its not meeting with immedi-
ate success. Congress has already set
aside $3.50, 900 for this purpose, but in
view of the heavy outlay made for
maps, stamps, directories, printed in
structions and other necessary ad
juncts, no funds are available for the
purchase of motor trucks for the larger
cities, nor for the establishment Of
subsidiary services. However, there is
little doubt some means will be devised
to meet such an emergency, and no
doubt congress will be called upon to
vote additional money Immediately
after it conveneS.

CHAS. H. CROWNHART, president OF
the industrial commission, told the pea
Gamers of the state at their convention
in Milwaukee that it would make no
difference with the commission In en-
forcing the law how much loss and fric-
ton it occasions in the provision against
women working more than nine hours
a dav. Of course not-nO matter how
much the women want to take the in
creased pay for the rush season that
will be paid for overtime. Neither
thew nor the canneries have any voice
in the matter. Further, he told them
that the fact of the pea cannerles leav-
ing the state, because of the fool pro-
visions of the law, would make no diff
ference with the commission driving
straight ahead, no matter who 1T hurt
or how much damage is done. All this
is truly progressive. The law was
passed in the first place, not in answer
to a call for the reformation of abuses,
but because it suited the theoretical
notions of socialists, McGovern and his
very progressive bunch. Any interior
ence with business freedom is justifi-
able and progressive, you know. 1t is
really a good thing that these pea-rais-
ing farmers who have been whooping
it up for LaFollette, McGovern and
other progressive humbugs, should get
a taste of what such fool legislation
means. The progressive politicians
always demagogues and nothing else
have been tickling the farmers with
the idea that they were after the
tssoulless corporations. 7" But lot OF
these pea-canning corporations, like
the cheese factories and creamerles,
are built on farmers money and the
''tickle" now feels like slab. Twas
ever thus from cnildhood's hour. =
Hurrah! for progressiveism and all its
meddlesomeness and interference with
personal and industrial liberty. The
voter will not take any ones word for
it. We hope he will get it good and
strong till the slab gets down through
his thick hide. Fort Askinson Union.

place in an executives chamber, pre-
sided over by a common citizen, un-

political healers looking for appoint
ments, each with cigar and a guild OF
tobacco in his mouth. Amy predeces-

Newspaper Mistakes.

The Whitewater Register saws that
the editor of an exchange doesn't want
anyone to send him any more copies of
his paper in which they have found
mistakes. If they find perfect copy,
however, he offers big price for it.
Same with all of us. If the fool critic
who hunts for mistakes in the papers
would find them all he would be kept
busy. We will be pleased to buy copies
of any paper which can be proven en-
tirely free from errors, either in ty-
biography or in statements of facts.
We will also be pleased to find mer-
chant who never made mistake in
putting up an order, lawyer who
never lost case through his own err
rors, doctor who never wrongly dag
nosed a case, a druggist who never
made a mistake, a post office official
who never put mail into the wrong box,
a woman who never forgot to put in
the salt while cooking or to put the tea
in the tea pot before putting in the
water. Bring on some of your mis-
takeless paragons who find it so easy
to criticise the papers and We'll give,
them the chance of their lives to find
out whether they are really human.
