TO ASSESS THE INCOME TAX
Amounts to Be Certified by County
Clerks to City and Town Officers
Secrets viii Be Guarded.

MadisOn.-The county clerk of
each county, assisted by the assessor
of incomes for that district, will as
sess the income tax which is to be
collected from Wisconsin citizens
under the new law which the su-
preme court recently declared consti-
tutionaI. When the assessments are
all made, the clerk will certify the
names of all who are assessed, and
the amount of assessment, to the
town, village or city clerks through
out the county. There also will be
board of review, consisting of three
resident taxpayers.
The board will meet once a year,
in July. Attendance of witnesses at
the meetings may be compelled and
papers and books may be ordered
brought before the board. Appeal
may be taken from the board to the
tax commission.
No member or persons otherwise
connected with the assessment of in
comes is permitted to diVulge or
make known in any manner what
ever, any information coming to him
in the course of his official duties.

First Glass Corn and Plenty of 1t Is
Grown In Northern Wisconsin,.


sowed at Superior in 1908, yielded one
ton per acre the same season as sown,
and in 1909, over two tons in two cut
tings, without any manure.
Small Grains.-Sman grains Of all
kinds grow well, particularly on the
heavier soils. Wheat, barley, oats,
rye and speltz are successfully grown
and have given average returns per
acre higher than is the average for
the United States. On the light
sandy soils, buckwheat is a paying
crop and yields of over 20 bushels per
acre on new land have been obtained
On clay soils peas for canning and
for grain is a very profitable crop.
The quality Of the grain raised is of
the best. The moderately warm
weather and many bright days with
a good supply of moisture are I'm
dCubtedly responsible for the superior
quality of northern Wisconsin grains.
Barley gives best returns on the sub
dued loan soils.
Corn.-EarIy maturing varieties of
corn grow well and mature in this
part of the state Experiments at the
sub-station at Iron River in Bayfield,
county, during the past four seasons,
have demonstrated this fact. An early
dent variety WISCONSIN No 81 has
ripened every year at Iron River,
giving an average yield of nearly 40
bushels of shelled corn per acre. The
|. total weight of the corn, at cutting
time, during the past season, was over
u tons per acre. An earlier variety,
a smutnose flint, gave as high a yield
of grain and nearly as much stover
per acre as the former Cooperative
experiments with farmers have also
been carried on showing that good
corn can be ripened in most sections
Of northern Wisconsin, and for fod-
der or silage it can be grown in prac-
ttcaIly every locality. In the western
counties larger varieties of corn. such
as Silver King and Golden Glow are
grown and ripened

Young Illinois Doctor Makes a
Confession to Staying.
SENTENCE ON JANUARY n
Statement Giving Details of Awful
Crime Committed Near Dixon, H..
Last September Read in Presence
of Victims Mother.

Oregon, ul-Dr. Harry Elgin
Webster in court here pleaded guilty
to the murder OF his wife, Bessie
Kent Webster. Upon opening of
court Attorney John z. Erwin, chief
counsel for the defense, announced
that his client desired to withdraw
his plea of not guilty and to enter
one of guilty.
Are you guilty or not?" asked
the court
Guilty" said DR.. Webster in a
strong voice.
After he had entered his plea Web
ster seated himself at the side of
his mother who wept throughout the
proceedings.
DR.. L. NJ Griffin of Polo testified
that Mrs. Webster's death was caused
by a knife or scaIpel wound in the
neck, which had severed the jugular
vein. He said it was his opinion at
the time of examination that Mrs.
Webster had been dead two or three
weeks.
The confession was long and de-
scribed Webster's trip from Chicago
to Dixon and thence to the OgIe coun-
ty woods with Bessie Kent Webster.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Few sections of the country are
adapted to growing a greater va
riety Of crops than can be raised in
this region. Throughout the section
the grasses and cIovers, when once
introduced grow abundantly except
on certain sandy areas where the soil
lacks moisture-holding capacity
Grasses.-June grass and the COM
mon white clover grow wild almost
everywhere and soon cover the land
after it is cleared and pastured for a
few years. The seeds of tame grasses
were brought in with the hay used as
forage for horses employed in lumber
camps. Here the settler has tame
pastures at his disposal without the
expense of seeding.
Clover.-Clover raising for seed
can be followed with profit in many
localities. At Iron river and Superior
sub-statiOns, experiments with alfalfa
are now in progress While this valu-
able forage plant may not be adapted
to all classes of soils and locations,
the experiments indicate that it will
succeed on well drained clay soils
even of the heaviest types. Alfalfa

Why is the earthly paradise unat-
tractive? Everything that human in
geruity can do to make an ideal
dwelling place out Of Australia has
been done It is the Utopia from
which reformers drew their suggeg-
tons for Improvements, and it ex-
ports TO other lands more fads for

Yet Australia. the source of plans for

neglected by seekers after happiness.

Why Old Myths Survive.

The desuoyers Of fine dramatic
myths tell US nowadays that the
Caliph Omar did not burn the ancient
library of Alexandria, and therefore
did not have a chance to say that all
the books in it that agreed with the
Koran were superhuous, and all that
disagreed with the Koran were perni-
cious. Doubtless the perennial fresh
ness and vitality of the tale are due
to an everlasting normal human ha-
tired Of weed-grown, literary grave

house. The one shown in the accom-

ITO be honest is more than to re
frain from stealing another man 5
purse, more than paying the exact
number Of dollars you owe. Honesty
means far more than not defrauding
other people financially. It means
nothing less than not defrauding your
self by your own prejudices and judg-
ments. It means dealing fairly and
squarely with yourself; looking at
yourself with the same eyes with
which you dissect the conduct Of your
associates. Clara K. BayIiss.
