FAIR BOARD WANTS
100000 FOR SHOW
President Rewey Will Ask for
Half Million Dollars.
EXHIBITION IS A SUCCESS
Need for Greater Facilities Empha-
sized by Large Number of Exhibits
from All Parts of State Many
Buildings Inadequate.

Milwaukee. Wisconsin's state
fair for 1912 closed with record
Tor success surprising all previous
EFFORTS so far as the greatness of
the exhibits was concerned. and that
In spite of besetting difficulties that
lay in dilapidated buildings and in
adequate show rooms. In attend
ance it was 1874 lower than last
year, this years total reaching 1885,
974.
These difficulties bring the state
race to face with an earnest prop
osition for betterment.
mr.. Mackenzie and are going
to ask the legislature to appropriate
100000 for improvements of the
State Fair park" said President o.
G. Rewey.
In point of educational features,
in point of horse racing, and in
point of special educational and en-
PERTAINING features, the 1912 fair
has surpassed anything and all in
the states history.
When the state fair closed its
gates the thousands on the grounds
rejoiced at the announcement of the
management that the fair was the
greatest success in the history of the
state. This announcement came
coupled with an announcement OF
plans for greater strides in an Off
cial statement issued by President o.
G.. Rewey, who said:
Il am well satisfied with the 1912
fair. Considering it from every
point of view, particularly as show
ing Of the resources and possibilities
of Wisconsin, this exposition never
has been equaled. We can not give
any figures as to the financial sit
uation.

Four Of Family Freed Of Charges Of
Assault on Request of District
Attorney Williams.

Eau Claire-The case of the state
of Wisconsin against Hattie, Clar-
ence, Leslie and Elmyra Deitz was
dismissed in circuit court on motion
of District Attorney Williams of Saw
yer county. All the defendants were
in court, each accompanied by his
attorney, McKenna, Fond du Lac;
Malone, Beaver Dam, and Naber,
Mayville.
There are four cases, charging as
sault with intent to kill.
The district attorney gives as his
reason for the dismissal of the cases,
the following In substance:
That one OF the principal witnesses,
John Rogich, is now in Australia and
another, John Hesse, is a profess
sional detective. It is believed his
evidence would not have much
weight with the jury.
Hattie Deitz is the wife of John
Deitz, Elmyra at the time of the
trouble was 16 years old, Leslie was
II and Clarence was 49, John Deitz
was man of strong personality and
liable to use violence when anyone
differed with him and the members
of his family were completely under
his sway.
John Deitz is now in prison for
life. The natural feeling in the
minds of the jury would be that he
alone was to blame and he being
punished for this, that would be
enough
The county board of Sawyer coun-
ty believing the law vindicated, has
requested the district attorney to
nolle the case.
John Deitz for some years was
defying the law and now is being
amply punished and it is not be-
lieved that jury would now pun
ish his wife and children for their
participation in that trouble while
under his control and dominance.

SUGGEST SCHOOL CHANGES
Committee Says Where There Are
Less Than Ton Pupils Consolida-
ton Should Be Effected.

Milwaukee.-Recommendations to
c. p. Cary, state superintendent of
public instruction, which suggest
cation and administration of the
rural schools of the state, are con-
tanned in a preliminary report which
will be made by the rural school COM
mittee.
The committee is of the opinion
that fundamental changes in the or
ganization and administration of
these schools are necessary to make
it possible for them to meet the de-
mands of present day conditions. The
following are some of the recon-
mendations In the preliminary re-
port made to State Supt c. P. Cary:
The minimum legal qualification
for teaching in the state after. say,
1915, shall be two years high school
training and a years professional
work in county training school for
teachers or a normal school offer
ing a special course of study for
country teachers.
To meet the demand for increased
efficiency on the part of country
teachers during the next few years
the certifcation law should be
amended in such way that the sum-
mer schools for teachers may be able
to offer courses of study better
adapted to the needs of these teach
ers.
Some means should be provided
whereby the consolidation of many
of the 1900 district schools having
an attendance of less than ten pp-
pills may be brought about.
To provide adequate supervision of
the country schools the appointment
of county superintendents Of schools
and their assistants should be vest
ed in county boards of education, the
members of which should be elected
by the people in the different coun-
ties.
Some plan should be devised
whereby the country schools may be
made to serve as social centers.

VALUE OF POULTRY PRODUCTS
Poor Methods Of Preparing and Mar
keting Deprive Poultryman Of
Much Of He Profits.
(By F. H sToNEBURN.9


Poultry products Of various kinds
form one Of the greatest crops pro-
duced upon American farms The
ever increasing number OF farms and
plants devoted exclusively to poultry
keeping produce large amounts Of
high grade goods, although these are
inconsiderable when compared with
the vast supply coming from the small
hocks scattered upon the farms and
In the villages throughout the coun-
try. Unquestionably. the great bulk
Of poultry products has come in the
past from the latter sources, and this
condition is likely to continue
Many farmers concede that their
focks of poultry yield them fair
profit, although any intelligent OBJ
server has but to spend a short time
in investigating the great markets to
learn that poor methods Of preparing
and marketing alone prevent the pro-
Queer from receiving much greater re-
turns. The majority of poultry raisers
fail to realize that their profits could
be largely increased, first, by the
production of better and more uniform
goods; and second, by improved meth
DDS Of disposing Of them.
Not infrequently it is stated that
high-grade goods sell themselves.
and In sense this is true, but it is
not enough to turn out superior
goods; much is lost If they are not
marketed In the most careful manner.

the highest quotations for his prod

more than 300 members of the sum-

o'clock the public was excluded from
Eewport's miniature Coney Island.
From that hour until they became
lred, Mrs Belmont's guests had full
possession and enjoyed a night as in
lormal as it was novel.
Mrs. Belmont's reasons for giving a
rec evening at Easton's beach were
hreefold, aside from her desire to pay
OCial obligations. Those reasons were
protest against extravagant enter

CHAIRMAN OF THE EUGENICs CONFERENCE

Darwin's theory of evolution, the
survival of the fttest and the infiu.
ence of environment in the develop
ment Of organic life, has provoked
much controversy, and has sometimes
been allowed to remain In the dim do
main Of speculation like the atomic
theory of Epicurus or the Piatonic sys-
tenn Of ideas. It has at last been
recognized as something practical in
the social life Of the human race. The
most sober-minded of physicians,
economists, and philanthropists have
acknowledged that the Improvement
Of the race. the promotion of its hap

moral errors depend very largely upon
a recognition of such laws as that Of
heredity. The parents of the coming
