"A uluHeT was given last evening by
| L "A. Hamill. president of the Young
Mems Christian association, to the
directors and committeeman of that
organization and plates We're laid for
twenty-six men all of which were used.
and the meeting was one of mucn
pleasure and profit.
President Hamill addressed the as.
semhly on the prospective outline of
work. He thought of making a divi-
sion of the work in general so that it
would not fall upon the president to
supervise the whole work. He thought
of placing half the labor Of the execu-
tive upon Vice President Fulton. He
spoke in the most encouraging way OF
the prosperous condition of the asso-
citation. He emphasized the need for
thorough work in the religious depart
ment and large increase N the mem
bership. He urged the placing of the
finances of the association on strong
basis. He then announced the names
of the newly-appointed chairmen OF
the various standing committees as

w. J. Fulton made some pleasing
remarks on the cancellation of the
debt. He said the debt had been a
burden to the directors and now that
it had been wiped out greater future
could be expected
]. o Boyd appealed for greater in
terest in Bible study.
H. s. Walker, the new treasurer
elect, said he had been chosen treas
urer against his wishes because he
was a new man on the board, but SO
far his official relations had been very
congenial, so much so that he would
feel like passing it along at the close
of.4the first year.
H. e. Ratcliff had some very. use
full and entertaining words to say on
the subject of athletics which were ex-
ceedingly we'll received.
Secretary Burns responded to call
and was very optimistic in his re-.
marks much more, he intimated, than
he could have been year ago. He
spoke of the cancellation of the en-
tire debt of the association and sug-
gested more interest in the boys
classes. The membership of this as
sociation he claimed should have an
enrolment of roo members before an
other association year closes in April
of next year.
Others either spoke or most enthus-
iastically nodded or cheered endorse
ment of the sentiment of the speak
ers.
The draft Of the meeting was to-
ward an onward movement all along
the line, nothing but suggestions for
harder for work and optimistic feel
ings as to the result of that work pre-
vailing.

Conclusive proof that the Taft forces
have the votes to seat all their con-
tested delegates in the republican ma
tional convention was furnished today
when sos delegates voted to seat the
Taft delegates in the ninth Alabama
district.
After the vote in the Alabama case
was announced the leaders of the
Roosevelt forces held a conference to
determine when they would put into
effect the ncn-participating campaign
proposed The settlement of the
Alabama case came after wearisome
parliamentary maneuvering In which
two record roll calls were forced.
The Taft machine held throughout
and on the second call, which was de-
signed to substitute the minority for

Wisconsin progressives voted with the
Taft men, claiming that the Roosevelt
men had not made out a legal case
After the Alabama case was disposed

DECLARES FIGURES
ON CHEESE MISLEAD
official Says Wisconsin Output
Is Kept Secret.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Dec. 74.--L w.
Clark, for twenty years secretary OF
the Fond du Lac dairy board. declar-
ed that the cheese output figures as
indicated by the sales are misleading
and that large amount OF the out.
put has been kept under cover"
According to the statistics compiled
by MIR. Clark, and which he bases on
sales made by the dairy boards, the
cheese output for Wisconsin during
1912 was 6.6S0,64 pounds short OF
that of 1910, and S4S5,040 less than
1t was in 1911.
''On the face of these returns" says
Mr.. Clark. the cheese output in Wis
consin for 1912 was only half of that
of 1910, but to those familiar with the
situation it is evident that Just as
much cheese was made this year as
before. The fact is that the trusts
We're able to keep large percentage
of the output under cover. No one
posted can believe the figures.
"Foud du Lac county, one of the
largest cheese-producing counties, has
seen no decrease in the number Of
cheese factories, nor any considerable
change in the number of cows kept
by dairymen. There are more factor
les making cheese than there were
two years ago, and the prices have
been so tempting that the farmer has
been induced to increase the size OF
his herd"

WISCONSIN IN THE LEAD
Heads the Procession In Number OF
Vocational Schools.

Madison, Dec. 24-Wisconsin is hv-
ing up to its reputation as the most
progressive state in the union by
marching at the head OF the process
sion in the latest educational move
ment-vocational schools.
Four years ago the legislature ap-
pointed commission OF experts to
study the question of industrial edu-
cation at home aid abroad. Two years
ago, acting on report from this COM
mission, the legislature enacted a
series of laws providing for the es-
tablishment of continuation, vocation
al, trade and evening schools. first
laying a foundation by rewriting
the child labor and trnancy acts. The
work OF organizing these schools Is
now in progress and Wisconsin is en-
gagged in an effort to give its in
dustrial and commercial population
advantages similar to those 1t has
been giving for years to its agricul
tur-ists
Although the laws have been ef-
fective only a few months, thirty
CltlCS dilCduy nave opcilcu
and continuation schools, more than
10000 pupils have been enrolled, the
classes constantly are increasing and
new courses are being added. All
over the United States those interest
ed in the new educational movement
are watching with interest the de-
velopment of the Wisconsin plan
One universal feature attendant up
on the passage of vocational school
laws was that they went through
without opposition This fact never
has failed to stir the wonderment OF
persons who have had experience in
promoting reform measures before
state assemblies, and it is attributable
to the influence OF the University Of
Wisconsin. which is the real fountain
head OF progressiveism in the Bad
ger state.
AS a substructure for the vocational
school act, the legislature revised the
child labor and truancy laws, and like
wise the apprenticeship act, which
had been written in 1S49 and had be-
come obsolete. So far as education is
concerned. Wisconsin now has charge
of the child from the seventh to the
sixteenth year.

BUILDING
FOR MINERAL POINT
A Bill Including Funds for a Building
Here Is Prepared.

According TO dispatch from Wash
ington, Mineral Point will get a
government, building for the postotfice.
A bill, including new federal build
ings at a number of other Wisconsin
cities, will be introduced in January
and doubtless will go though without
much contest, according to the report
from the national capital.
Sometime ago, IN response to move
ment started by the late William A.
Jones' and supported by the Mineral
Point Commercial club, and citizens
generally bill was introduced in the
house of representative by Congressman
Kopp for the erection of a federal
building at Mineral Point; and also in
the senate by Senator Stephenson,
The matter was referred to the public
Buildings Committee of which John NJ
Nelson, congressman elect for the third
district is a member. This committee
has prepared bill which will be in
troduced early in January. If this bill
passes federal building will be erected
in Mineral Point
The Washington dispatch is as fol-
lows:
Washington. D. c., Dec. 23.-Wis-
consin cities are to have federal build
ings under the public buildings bill of
the coming session of congress as fol-
lows:
Waukesha, Beaver Dam, Burlington,
Neenah, Amigo, Mineral Point. Tomah
Merrill, Madison and Oconto.
The amount to be appropriated for
each has not as yet been decided but
the committee has stated the above
cities for some appropriation. The bill
will be introduced in January and will
probably go through with little contest.
