oRAT: RICAL AND DFCLAMAToRy
CONTEST HELD AT HIGI- SCHOOL

Tuesday evening of this week wit
messed the elimination OF a movement
started weeks ago by the Woman's
Club Of this city. The Club suggested
having an oratorical contest for the
bows of the High School and, to stimn-
late interest; offered prize of ten dol
lars to the winner of such contest.
When the announcement of the offer
was made to the school, the students
manifested SO much interest that It was
decided to give both boys and girls a
chance by making the contest both ora
torical and declamatory,
April card was the date set FOR the
contest and promptly at eight o'clock
on thatevening, theprogran WAS open
ed with a musical selection rendered
by the High school double quartette.
The prolonged applause which this
number received showed plainly that
an encore would have been appreciated
but there were too many other good
things on the intellectual menu and
the auartette refused to come back.
Then followed the orations, six IN num-
Der, each speaker rendering his selec-
tionin a manner which did credit both
to himself and to his training. Music
by the BOYS Glee Club furnished a
pleasing interlude between the two
parts of the program. The rest OF the
evening was given up to the co-eds and
they easily justified the decision which
had given them place in the contest.
Their selections were well chosen and
pleasingly rendered and tue last de-
clamation left the assembly with the
feeling that it would be hard TO pick
the winner" However, the judges
were able and willing, and while the
Girls Glee Club sang, the decision was
made. First, second, and third places
were given in both contests and the
result was announced as follows:
In the oratorical contest, Gail Palmer
was given first place; Lawrence Wheel
er ranked second and August Dopke
was third. In the Declamatory contest
Miss Lorraine Tragard was given nrst
place; Miss Marjorie Stevens won sec
ond place; and Miss Salome Wilson
was third. The citizens of Wauwatosa
by their attendance, made possible not
only the giving Of a prize of ten dollars
to the winner of the girls contest, but
also the giving of second and third pri-
yes of four dollars and two dollars and
fifty cents. respectively, to boys and
girls. If the contest becomes an an
nual affair it is planned to make the
second and third prizes take the form
OF books or something to be decided
upon later rather than cash. However,
the winners seem perfectly satisfied
with the money.
The judges were Miss Mowray in
structor in West Division High School,
Prof. Gould of Milwaukee Normal, and
Mr.. Rounds, Instructor in Public
Speaking, West Division High School.

Roosevelt Most Notorious Patronage User
in History.
The hypocrisy of Theodore Roosevelt
has not been better illustrated in this
campaign than by his charge that Pres
ident Taft has used federal patronage
to secure his denomination.
No President of this country ever
used patronage as did Theodore Roose-
welt to secure his nomination in 1904.
He used it without stint to defeat his
enemies in the camp align of 1908.
In this campaign his own appointees,
retained by President Taft. have. in
answer to his call, worked against
President Taft.
InsMontana his campaign manager,
Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon, has COMPEL.
ed every federal office-holder he can
control to violate all civil service rules
and the executive orders issued by
President Roosevelt himself.
In Texas, Cecil Lyon. the persona,
friend of Roosevelt, has coerced the
federal Office holders To support Roose
welt and has demanded of them a ''slusf
fund" to defeat Taft. Lyon recon,
mended, on his own admission, all but
five of 5000 Office holders in Texas.

troll of the Roosevelt Governors hav,

MANY CASES OF
RABIES in WEST
Much Loee Has Been Caused 20
Live Stock and An Several
Localities People Have
Been Bitten.
By L. w. CASS, Kansas.)


During the past year there have
| and other western states which have
caused much loss OF live stock and in
several localities people have been
bitten by rabid dogs
This Is one OF the Oldest diseases
known and II was described by Aristo-
tie in the fourth century, B. c. The
season OF the year makes very little
difference, as the disease is just as
prevalent in the winter as in summer.
This is contrary to the ideas OF many
persons who think that July and Au-
gust, known as dog days." is the
only time that dogs are subject to
rabies.
The disease is caused in nearly all
cases by the bite Of rabid animal,
but it is possible to contract rabies
from the saliva, the tears from the
eyes or the milk of rabid animal
The rabid dog Is source of danger
few days before the symptoms of the
disease appear, but in no case before
he was bitten by a rabid animal or
otherwise inoculated.
Hot weather. lack OF water, or III
treatment will never In themselves
produce rabies
The symptoms seldom develop In
less than IA days after the animal was
bitten-most commonly three to six
weeks-but they may not show from
six months to year Not all animals
bitten develop the disease II de-
Ponds somewhat on the part Of the
body which was bitten.
In man there is less danger II bit
ten through the clothing than upon
the bare parts Of the body, the face
being the most dangerous. II is not
uncommon for the symptoms to devel-
op In less than two weeks when bit
ten upon the head.
In cattle, they are prone to chase
chickens and dogs and occasionally
run at man, often falling down, with
a twitching of muscles, but seldom
biting.
Horses are more vicious than cat
tie, biting the manager, himself or any
thing within reach.
Treatment consists of the Pasteur
process which must be taken before
the symptoms have developed. Ia
order to be effective 1t must be taken
within very few days after being
bitten by rabid animal. The. MAD

AS breeds go, the Orpington classes
easily as new" since It's history
dates only from 1890, or Whereabouts.
1t is an English bird rated in that
country as general purpose fowl de-
sirable alike for eggs as we'll as car
cass. The four varieties are Blacks,
Bluffs, Whites, and Spangled. Color Of
flesh and skin, in Blacks, gray; in all
other varieties, white. Color of egg
shells a medium brown.
The blood that commingles in each
variety is indeed of wide range In
the production of the Blacks. Mr..
Cook, the celebrated English breeder
and creator, used Black Minorcas.
Black Rocks and Langshans, from
which by selection and careful breed
ing he claims TO have evolved the
modern Black Orpington. The ances-
try Of the Bluffs is composed of Col
den Spangled Hamburgs, Buff Cochins
and Colored or Dark Dorking In the
process Of selection and carefully mat
ing Of the progeny of the above
crosses we may attribute the Buff
Orpington of today. An English au-
thority is responsible for the state
ment that the Whites are the result of
crosses between White Leghorn,
White Dorking and Black Hamburg,
and that the Spangled represent Old
English Game and Dorking ancestry. Co.
In economic considerations the
Orpington fowl stands well. Where
the strain has been bred for egg pro-
duction, the hens have made good"

indeed, in instances individual fiocks
and single specimens have made
splendid records. BY this is not
meant that they excel all other
breeds and varieties in this respect:
as matter Of fact, they rank with
the Rocks and Wyandottes in hem
fruit production. AS table fowl,

being OF larger frame. The Black is

varieties, and also the most typical

Of its market value, though somewhat

four sorts are rated as good sitters

No breed in the English class has
