URGE SCHOOL LAW CHANGE
ed County Bo-rds Would EN-
power Body to Guide Work.

Madison.-The election of unsal-
aried county boards of education and
the appointment by such boards of
the county superintendent, is favored
in an announcement issued by the
state board of public affairs. After a
close examination of the rural schools
for the past six months by a compe-
tent force OF experienced sckoolmen,
the board has prepared series of
suggested administrative and legis-
lative measures.
These recommendations have been
submitted at various times to Wis
consin schoolmen, school officials and
have called forth hearty approval
County boards of education should
be elected by the direct vote of men
and women at the spring election,
says the announcement. The board
would consist of three members The
terms of Office would be six years. To
provide for the stable character of
the board it is suggested that one
member be elected every two years.
The first board would choose by lot
which of its members should serve
for two, four and six years respec-
lively. This board would serve with
out salary.
Among the most important duties
of this county board of education
would be the appointment of the
county superintendent from an ap-.
proved list made up by the state civil
service commission. Among it's
other powers would be to exercise a
general control over the county
schools of agriculture and the
county training schools for teachers;
to pass upon the Capitalization OF
school districts, to advise the SUPER
intendent to withhold state aid from
small and inefficient schools when
ever in it's judgment the facts war
rant 1t and to appoint an assistant to
the county superintendent whenever
the number of teachers in the dis
trict exceed one hundred.

MILLERS MAKE PROTEST
Hold Conference With Member of
Commerce Commission on Cues
ton of Modified Regulations.

: Madison.-B. H. Meyer, member of
the interstate commerce con mission,
held a conference here with repre-
sentatives of the Wisconsin Millers'
association on the question of modi-
flying the commissions regulations
regarding the privilege Of milling
grain in transit. Under the regula-
tions of the commission the millers
are compelled to pay what they con-
slider too high charge for the priv
ilege of stopping grain for milling
and then reshipping it in milled
form. Commissioner Meyer said he
would submit the matter 10 the full
commission when he reached Wash
ington. The millers were represent
ed by E.. j. Lachman of La Crosse,
secretary of the Wisconsin Millers'
association; H. NJ Mulberger of Wa
tertown, J. c. Horton of Grand Rap
ids, r. E. York of Portage, George
Koenig of Watertown and others.

BISHOPS DEATH MASK MADE
Cast from Features of Late Fond du
Lac Prelate to Be Used as
Model for Crypt.

Fond du Lac.-A cast from the
death mask made of Bishop Grafton,
has been successfully struck. The
model represents an accurate inn
preston of the prelates features,
showing the strong lines of his coun-
tenance, and the impressive forehead.
The cast shows the bishop to have
wasted considerably because of his
long illness and confinement. Like
in death the face appears thin and
the lines more sharply drawn than
they were when the bishop was in
health.
Just what will be done with the
cast is not known, however, it is
likely to be used as a model for the
crypt which is to be placed in st.
Paul's cathedral year hence. The
plan, it is said, is to fashion the cover
of the crypt into a recumbent statue
of the dead prelate.

ALLEGED SLAYER is ABROAD
Detective Leaves for Italy TO Bring
Back Suspected Murderer-R Re-
QUESTION Papers Secured.

Milwaukee.-The necessary requi-
sition papers having been made out
Edward P. Cunningham, private
detective, left Milwaukee for Italy
to bring back Anthony Borello, al
legged to have murdered John l.. Sex.
ton of Elkhart Lake, Wis. last June.
Detective Cunningham took up the
hunt and, after being on the case
three weeks, secured sufficient evil
dence, it is alleged. to bring about
the arrest of Borallc.
All of the evidence collected was
forwarded to Italy The evidence
was found sufficient to warrant ex-
tradition papers being issued, the
first time Italy having done this for
the state of Wisconsin in forty years.
Borello was captured on farm As
miles from railroad and 200 miles
from Naples, the nearest city. He
was living with his wife and four
children, and it was only after hard
battle that he was taken. His house
had the appearance of an arsenal.
There were guns in every room.
An old fashioned silver watch, In
which the name of the murdered man
was inscribed, was the first evidence
which led to the arrest This watch,
with $4,000, was taken from the
house on the night of the murder,
and shortly after Cunningham took
charge OF the case he found the
watch in a small town on the Mis-
sissippi river, near ST. Louis. By
careful investigation, he found that
the murderer had come to the town
one week after the act was commit
ted and had lived there for some
time. He had left the town, how
ever, two months before Cunning
ham took the case.

RYe as a summer cover.

There are farmers who SOW rye in
the corn during Inc last cultivation.
The rye makes summer cover, util-
izing some of the nitrogen that might
be wasted under the influence of the
summer sun; it makes fine grazing
for pigs, calves, horses and COWS in
early fall and during winter; it sup
plies the soil with needed humus when
the land is turned This is not by
any means a bad practice.

Use of spreader Best.

The piling Of manure in small lots
as it is hauled afield may have some
points in it's favor, but from the
standpoint OF realizing the largest
possible good from the fertilizing
elements contained it is plainly a
poorer method than scattering from the
spreader.
Handled in this way, the soluble
portion of the fertilizers that the
manure contains soaks at once into
the soil, while If me manure is par
in piles there is loss by chemical
changes and the escape or gases.
