practically calling on President Taft

test 49,. ..-.
"Ohio makes the tenth Republican
state where the candidacy Of Mr.. Taft

"The Republican party is bigger
than, the ambition of, any one man.
Tho one wise. patriotic thing to be
done is for Mr.. Taft and his managers
now to accept the unanimous verdict
Of the Republican primary states and

It lasted practically all day and was

It was still dark Thursdays when
Huerta. tho federal general, ordered

Before day broke the federal front

quickly forcing orozco's gunners to

DIRECTORS MUST DIRECT
Rule Regarding National Comptroller
Now Applied to National
Banks,

Madison Referring to the recent
order of Lawrence O. Murray ma
tional comptroller of the currency, to
the effect that the examination of
country banks the examiners should
convene the boards of directors and
that the banks assets be gone over
in the presence of the members, Com
missioner of Banking A. E. Kuolt
said, that while the practice was new
in tile federal department it has been
followed more or less closely in Wis
consin for several years and that now
it is one of the requirements of the
department.
Not only are the directors required
to direct in Wisconsin, but they must
be present with the official from the
state department when examination
of the bank is made and must pass
upon the value of all assets and at
the conclusion of the examination are
required to sign statement declar-
ing that they have examined all the
bills, notes, bonds and other securi-
ties of the bank and that to the best
of their knowledge and belief all sig
natures and endorsements are genu-
inc and that all notes and securities
are good. and collectable, with such
exceptions as noted.

Prospects for tho Seventh Annual
National Dairy Show, Chicago.

While this event has each year Civ.
en- evidence Of its usefulness to the
dairy world. yet the rounding out Of
the seven-year period promises to
give to the country one OF the most
valuable educational shows ever pre-
sented. With the thought In mind that
the importation of dairy products Is
growing to dangerous amount and
that present prices and general con-
ditions concerning agriculture in
America warra1. a tremendous amount
OF work to stop the terrific drain
upon our gold by foreign countries for
products we should and must grow
at home, the attention of the manage
ment has been given entirely to the
rendering Of practical demonstrations
on lines Of the maximum of produc-
ton at the minimum of cost, OF dairy
products. While features of intense
moment on sanitary and hygienic
methods will be presented, yet the
paramount work Of this great educa-
tional show Is for the farmer.
Matters OF breeding and feeding
will be presented by demonstration
aud discussion; the better handling
and marketing Of dairy products will
be discussed-ln fact, everything that
will tend to AID In profitable dairy
farming will be here shown and
talked over by the highest national
authorities. The machinery depart
ment will have many active, interest
ing and instructive exhibits. It Is the
intention that every exhibitor shall
have an opportunity to display his ex-
hibit, wholly or in part, in active use,
thus giving practical demonstrations
under expert hands. But the COW and
her place upon the farm will be the
paramount issue; with 100000 an
nually being shipped out of this coun-
try for dairy products, the COW and
how to increase her capacity has the
most need Of consideration by all
patriotic citixsns.
No farmer in tho middle west be he
already engaged In dairying or not, can
afford to overlook this ten-day short
course in all that Is best for the farm.
In fact, this show has assumed rela-
ton with farming and dairying that
makes 1t the annual roundup of all
affairs Of the dairy world, where
she ,-yard battles are settled for the
season; where trades are made and
where matters affecting the next
years work are discussed and
planned
The show will be held this year,
commencing October "a, in the Inter
national Amphitheater, Chicago. While
the show Is National in name, 1t will
be International in character, as by
comparison alone are we able to see
what Is being accomplished the world
over Some now and useful classes
are being added to the classification,
which will be ready for distribution
shortly. Adv

No. I shows a good stalk, we'll bal
anced ear about four feet from
the ground, we'll set and turned down
weak stalk, joints too long, ear set
too high and much too near the top.
those stalks which, although they may
have borne one good ear, indicate by
their general appearance that they
would not reproduce perfect stand
next season.
Seed corn selection is one of the
most important details OF growing the
crop. 1t must be undertaken in
systematic manner, because slipshod
and uncertain methods will only re-
suit In disappointment and failure.
Really seed corn should be raised on
specially prepared ground from pedi-
greed seed, and this work should have
been undertaken at planting time last
spring. However, GOOD beginning in
the selection of seed can lie made now.
When the corn is thoroughly ripe
in the field the selectic& should be
made by taking a row al :. time and
picking only those ears which come
up to a certain standard fixed before
hand.
In the selection of the standard the
farmer must make up his mind In
advance whether he wants a large,
coarse stalk with the ear high from
the ground, or a smaller, stout stalk
with the ear lower down.
II he desires large ear with
coarse grains, or medium-sized ear
with the grains compactly set, he must
make his selections accordingly
Right here, however, the selector is
warned against very common mis-
take-that is picking ears of abnor-
nal size or appearance. If he wants
large ear with coarse and loosely
set grains he may find IN occasional
ear bearing these characi eristics In
very marked degree, abnc rmally so In
fact, but 1t would be a mistake to
select such au ear because the ten
| dency will be TO increase variation and
when these variations ru1 to excess,

desirable qualities,
| 1t would be Just as great a mistake
IL the selector is looking for medium
sized ear with closely set grains to
select an undersized ear with the abb
normally sized grains, for the reason
above given. 1t is always wise to
stick to the medium specimens, hav-
ing the desired characteristics, as bet
ter results will always follow such
selections
1t Is good plan to select seed from
stalks OF stout, healthy growth which
have made uniform progress during
the season and that are well provided

REPUBLICANS FILL
THREE VACANCIES
Electors Appointed in Place Of
Men That Resigned.
NO M'GOvERN STATEMENT
Governor Does Not Come Out for
Either Taft or Roosevelt as He
Was Expected to--<;ecretary to Be
Elected at Next Meeting.

Milwaukee.-Ther republican state
central committee, at it's meeting,
filled the places on the electoral tick
ct caused by the designations of Col
John Hicks, A. G. Anderson and c. G..
Cuttings; put over the selection of a
secretary and treasurer until the next
meeting Of the committee, discussed
measures connected with the work of
the campaign and adjourned.
The first business taken up was the
confirmation of the appointment Of
Mr.. Porter. Next the committee filled
as follows: For elector at large, to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Col. John Hicks, Oshkosh,
Sol Levitan, Madison; to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of
c. c. Cuttings in the First district
DR.. M. V. Dewire; to fill the vacancy
in the Tenth district caused by the
resignation of A. G. Anderson,
George Wetherbee, Eau Claire.
When it came to the secretaryship,
Gov. McGovern was invited to be
present The governor made no
declaration of where he stood, as it
had been intimated he would, but
contented himself with brief state
ment expressing the wish that the
committee might elect Assemblyman
I. j. Mahon as secretary, and left
the room. The only other name sug-
sested was that of E. F. Dithmar,
Baraboo, but Mr. Dithmar, who is
q member of the committee, said
that he was not candidate and could
not take the place. However, he
would serve as temporary chairman
until a permanent secretary was
elected, it being understood that he
was not candidate. f. NJ Wylie's
name was not presented, as Mr.. Wy
lie said he would not enter into
fight for the position. Had Mr.. Dith-
mar expressed willingness to accept
the secretaryship, it was stated, he
would have been elected. Under the
circumstances, it was moved that the
election of secretary and treasurer be
laid over until the next meeting.
This motion carried by vote of 8
to Z.
