BELoIT OFFICIALS CLASH
Movement to Pave Alley on School
Land Results in Injunction to
Restrain Work.

Beloit.-A legal battle was begun
With the council and the school board
opposing parties. West of the high
school grounds is lane and facing it
is the residence Of e. Lipman. The
council at meeting voted to have
the lane paved, and Mayor Cunning
ham, who is also member Of the
school board, vetoed the resolution.
His grounds are that the alley is not
intended as thoroughfare, and that
the school board does not approve OF
the Improvement and wants to close
the lane entirely.
The school board began to grade
and I'LL the alley. Mr.. Lipman Sc
cured an Injunction restraining the
board from continuing the work.
This will bring the case into court
and decide whether the lane is un-
der the control of the school board,
Tor 1t Is on school land, or whether
the council can declare it thorough
rare and improve 1t. Under the city
charter the school board is elected
as an entirely distinct body from the
council, and conflicts OF authority
nave not been a few.

POSTPONE AUTO RACE DATES

and All VIII Compete.

The Vanderbilt auto classics have
been postponed until the first week
in October. The Vanderbilt cup
event will be run off on Oct. 2, the
Pabst blue ribbon and Wisconsin
challenge trophies on Oct. 3, and the
Grand Prix on Oct. 5.
The decision to change the dates
was reached after a prolonged ses-
sion Of the officials, drivers and mem
bers of the Milwaukee Automobile
Dealers association.
When the Vanderbilt cup race was
called of word was passed around
to the dealers and drivers to be on
hand for the meeting, when plans
would be discussed. It was apparent
that it would be impossible to hold
the races under present weather con-
ditions, and the dealers left it to
the drivers to name the date on
which they~would be held. After a
conference, the drivers chose the
dates, afterward selected. These
were agreeable to the dealers and
officials.

SOME FACTS ABOUT TURKEYS
One Sensible Thing 10 to Keep Best
Birds for Breeding and Send
others to Market.

Turkeys kept for breeding stock
should be the best that there is in the
flock. It is difficult for some people
to keep their best turkeys and
send the others to market, but it's the
only sensible way to do. The habit Of
selling the best is not characteristic
Of only the least intelligent people: it
is common with the people who have
raised turkeys all their lives, and
people who would not think Of
breeding other stock Of the farm
in such careless way. These
people have attained the success
and profits in turkey raising that are
enjoyed by the man who handles them
as fairly as he does his cows and
hogs.
The best care In the world can do
little with poorly bred poults and
turkey chicks. You cannot expect
large turkeys from small breeders.
Size Is not the only thing to be con-
sidered in selecting the stock: thrift
and frmness have as much to do with
the choice as the size; big, well-built
bodies and legs to be desired
also.
And on top of all, do not ruin the
vigor Of your strain by too early
breeding.

ject of the poultryman to breed and
build up the strain which lays the
heaviest, by breeding to the heavy
producers.
For fanciers, the trap nest is indis-
pensable on account OF the fact that
In the ordinary pen there are from six
to twelve females to one male. II
trap nests are used, and there are
as many as there are females in the
pen. It Is possible to distinguish each
hens eggs, while If the trap nests are
not used, this Is impossible. IL.
The use Of trap nests goes far to
prevent the hens forming the habit of
egg-eating. They are likely to form
this habit If kept in limited quarters.
II so kept, they are probably not given
the very best food, and probably not
enough of it, especially animal food.
The accompanying drawings of a
bank of trap nests are almost self ex-
planatory. The nests are built with.
out any top or bottom. The hen en-
tiers through the back of the nest
brushing under the hanging wire,
which releases the door. She then
passes on to the next compartment
toward the front end. To inspect the
nest and to remove the hen, ascertain
her number, and secure the eggs, the
front door Is simply unbuttoned and
let down. It viii be noticed that the
two doors are fastened together with
q cord, so that when the front door
