FEAR WASHOUT OF
DKES At PORTAGE
Citizens Aroused by Prospects
of High Water.
PETITION TO STATE FOR AID
Comm. ttee Calls on Governor for
Relief from Peril-Breaking OF the
Levee Would Cause Flooding of
Valley-Ask Special Session.

Portag flood cOndl-
lions of the Wisconsin river because
of the excessive snow this winter
has caused intense excitement in this
vicinity, and fearing a disaster that
would be a repetition of Black River
Falls, not in Portage alone, but many
of the towns along Fox river valley
At a massmeeting that filled the
court house here the city council as
well as the levee commissioners
urged action on the flood danger this
spring In response to the pleas the
1000 people present signed resolu-
lions calling on the state to protect
the property and lives of residents
of the Fox River valley from dis
aster similar to that at Black River
Falls.
1t is decla ED here by the fright
ened populace that only quick work
can prevent the bursting of the dam
near town by the force of the spring
floods.
A committee of citizens went to
4h1OlOOil oAo dppCClCu W wv VIS
Govern for redress. Last fall when
the food was at it's height Portage
maintained armed patrols on the
levee to prevent people from taking
the situation in their own hands to
arrest the destruction of their prop
erty by cutting the levee and letting
the flood of water pass from Port
age down to Oshkosh and the other
Fox river valley towns.
Gov. McGovern gave the state
levee commission and a committee of
citizens an extended hearing on the
question of flood protection. 1t is
hoped here that the levee question
will urge a special session of the
legislature.

MAY SELL FRUIT IN BOXES
Opinion Holds That Net Weig Must
Be Equal 20 That Bargained

Madison.-Assistan Attorney Gen
eral Gilman has given an opinion
relating to the sale of peaches and
similar fruits in original packages.
1t is held that such fruits may be
sold by net weight in packages if
the actual net weight contained is
equal to or exceeds that bargained
for by the buyers. 1t is held, how
ever, that cranberries may be sold
only by the barrel, bushel or divis-

is because the law provides that this
fruit may only be sold by dry meas

FRESH AIR FOR CONvICTS
Board Of Control Extends Prisoners
Priviliges-No Sign of Reported
Friction at the Meeting.

Fond du Lac.-If friction existed
intimated, no trace of it came to the
surface at the meeting of the state
board of control here, when Warden
Woodward was present. On the
other hand, the board received the
recommendations of the new war
den and gave them unanimous en-
dorsement. Recommendations were
made to reform the prison manage
ment and to extend the privileges
of the prisoners.
The most important proposal re-
lated to the use of time on Sunday.
Under the old rules, prisoners were
confined in cells from noon Sunday
till o'clock Monday morning. This
had bad results for them physically,
mentally and morally. Upon the rec
ommendation of Warden Woodward
special relief guard will be pro-
vided and prisoners taken out, the
occupants of one cell house at a
time being put through military
drills on the prison grounds Sunday
afternoons
In recommending the change, Mr..
Woodward declared he believed it
would be a greater sin to keep men
confined in cells away from sunlight
and fresh air on Sunday than to take
them out and permit them to have
exercise and recreation which they
require.
1t was decided to increase the
school year by two months. 1t now
ends in May. During the school year
instruction is given three evenings a
week, from to 8 80 o'clock.
The board decided to extend the
honor system as far as the laws of
Wisconsin would permit. 1t also en-
acted that prisoners be clad in khaki
uniforms in summer instead of the
regulation blue wool, which they
were hitherto required to wear the
year round.
Warden Woodward nominated the
following officers, who are present in
cumbents of their several Offices, to
serve the remainder of the fiscal
year: Chaplain, Rev S. J. Bowling;
physician, DR.. L. r. Sleyster; matron,
Mrs. M. H. Schilling.

DIVORCED MEN ARE WARY
Wisconsin Statistics Show Women
indulge in More Matrimonial
Ventures Than Males.

Madison.-Of a total of 1924
1887 were widowed and 1,0S9 were
divorced, according to figures just
compiled by the state bureau of vital
statistics. Based on the reports for
these two years, it is shown that
there is a greater tendency on the
part of divorced women to remarry
than there is for divorced men to re-
marry. Men, who have lost their
wives, however, remarry nearly twice
as often as women who have lost
their husbands. Of the 1924 mar

URGE SICKNESS INSURANCE
Law to Ask Action by Wiscon-
sin Legislature.

Madison.-Now that workers in
Wisconsin are insured against loss
by accident, the state may go q step
ance, say friends of the workmen's
compensation law. Such a measure
will receive serious consideration be-
fore the next regular session of the
legislature opens. 1t is argued that
so far as it incapacitates one from
earning a livelihood, sickness is in
the same category with accidents,
and that sickness insurance is rea-
sonable and elsewhere has proven
feasible and popular, especially in
Germany.

slaughter, that he has made war as
earnestly upon child labor, prostitu-

has protested as vehemently against
the system of society that sows dark
ness and reaps crime, will admit that
he has some right to argue against

wise he has too many greater things

authority to insist upon further bar
barism in this particular case. ii.
