Board Cuts Freight Rates.

Reduced freight rates on several
commodities were ordered in three de-
cisions of the railroad commission. In
the case of the Waukesha Lime and
Stone company against the Milwaukee
and the Northwestern roads, the COM
mission ordered the roads to substi-
tute a new scale on gravel, crushed
stone and lime in carload lots between
Waukesha and other Wisconsin points.
In the case of the Eau Claire Con-
crete company against the Omaha and
500 lines, it was ordered that the
rates on brick recently ordered by the
commission, affect also the rates on
concrete blocks. A similar petition
against the Milwaukee road was dis
missed.
In the case of Semrad Brothers and
Pusch Brewing company of Highland,
the Northwestern and the Mineral
Point and Northern roads were or
dered to substitute the third class rate
of the Wisconsin distance tariff on
beer.

Christ All and In All.

If Christ occupies his legitimate
regnant position in our hearts, he is
semi-consciously with us all the while,
insomuch that all We say and do is
modified by that fact. He abides with
those that love him. They are un-
der his influence constantly. He
shapes their lives, he puts his mark
Upon them. They come to think his
thoughts. AS Paul puts 1t, they be
come imitators" OF him. They grow
into his likeness. Kindness, beneti-
cance. good cheer radiate from them

The small boy of the household was
not notably proficient in sacred lore,
but when his sister asked him, Where
was Solomons temple?" he indignant
ly resented the supposed impeach-
ment of his stock of information, and
retorted:
Don't you think know anything?"
She assured him that she did not
doubt that he knew, but urged him to
state for her benefit.
Though not crediting her sincerity.
he finally exclaimed, curtly:
'On the side of his head, of course,
where other folks are! Dyou s'pose
I'm a fool?"

Makes Fisherman of State.


The most radical bill ever intro
duced in a Wisconsin legislature for
the regulation of the fishing industry
was introduced at the special session.
1t completely reverses the ttme-tried
policy of the state and inaugurateS a
system for the taking of all rough
fish by the state fish and game war
den directly or by contract.
The new bill repeats the entire Ii
cense system in vogue in Wisconsin
for over twenty years. 1t absorbs the
local fishermen's business, which, in
recent years, has grown to enormous
proportions in the Mississippi river,
Lake Pepin and the tributary waters
of Lakes Superior and Michigan.
The value of the fishing rights has
led to a controversy between the
states OF Minnesota and Wisconsin as
to the boundary line in Lake Pepin,
and the two states appointed bound
airy commission during the recent reg
uIar session of their legislatures.
The reason back of the new bill is
that the fish and game warden is con-
vinced that the local fishing business
is profitable. The plan outlined in the
bill has been given trial by the state
game warden's department in several
small inland lakes, with surprising
financial results. 1t is this success
that has prompted the state game war
den to ask the state for permission to
take over the entire fishing business
and conduct it as state enterprise.
State Game Warden John A. Sholts
is enthusiastic over this plan and pre-
diets that the financial returns would
build the new $6,OOO,0OO state capitol
without the aid of an additional state
tax.

Fair Board Plans Motorcycle Races.

At a meeting of the board of agri-
culture in Milwaukee in rooms of the
Merchants and Manufacturers associ-
alton Four hundred dollars was ap-
propriated for motorcycle races to be
held on the last day of the state fair.
The appropriation provides prizes
for at least twenty-five contestants.
The races will be conducted under the
auspices of the National Association
of Motorcyclists.
Mrs. AIDA F. Howie, the first wom-
an to be appointed to the board, made
her maiden speech which was full of
suggestions tending to increase the eff
ficiency of the board. Mrs. HOWE
said that none but competent judges
should be selected for the different de-
partments of exhibits.
She also suggested that instead of
having the poultry department located
underneath the grand stand, poultry
should be housed on some part of the
grounds which would be more condu-
Give to sanitary conditions. Mrs.
HOWE would use the space now occu-
pied by the poultry department to
show a model kitchen, dining room
and sitting room.
Mrs. Howie's remarks were well re
ceived by the male members of the
board, a number of them expressing
the opinion that had woman been on
the board ere this, 1t would have
worked to its advantage.
NJ ]. Sweeney was appointed Gus
todian of the fair grounds. He was
ordered to give a bond of $1,000 for
the faithful performance of his du-
ties. Mr.. Sweeney is a civil service
appointee.
Charles H. Everett was elected vice
president of the board to succeed ]. ].
Nelson, whose term expired on April
/. Henry Kruger, new member,
was elected superintendent of the de-
partment of agriculture.
The premium list for this years fair
will be ready for distribution by June
10.
