EKERN REMOVAL L
IS HELD OFFICIAL
ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES APP
POINTMENT HOLDS FOR
20 DAYS AT LEAST.
SAYS DONALD MUST ATTEST
Under Law, Secretary Must Counter
sign Appointment of L. A. Anderson
as State Insurance Commissioner
Action by Ekern Expected.

Madison.-A decision by Attorney
General Walter C. Owens holds that
John 5. Donald, secretary of state,
must, under the law, countersign the
appointment of l.. A Anderson, as
insurance commissioner to succeed
Herman l.. Ekern. Owens holds that
Anderson is now the legally appoint
ed commissioner, regardless of the
fact that no action has been taken by
the senate. Owens holds that Ander-
son will be commissioner for the next
twenty days, the time limit within
which the senate must act.
The decision was Immediately
made known to Ekern, who has been
practically in a state of siege in his
Offices. 1t is believed that Ekern will
at once take action in the supreme
court to prevent his successor from
taking office. The nature of this &C
ton is unknown.
- regard your duty in the pre-
misses to be clear and unequivOcal,
says the attorney general in the opin-
ion to Secretary of State Donald. The
opinion says that the secretary has
no discretion in a case of this kind,
that the latter's duty is plain and that
he is directed by law to perform it.
An editorial in La Follette's Maya
zine protests against the governors
dismissal Of Herman l.. Ekern from
the office of insurance commissioner.
The article says in part: "How much
of this attempt to destroy his great
work for the state is due to political
malice and how much, if any, is due
to the Vaccinations of the insurance
combination of Wall street, with
which one George w. Perkins is con-
nected, cannot now be determined.
The people of Wisconsin will not sub
nit to this They will not suffer
this man or his important service to
leave upon any pretext, however dis
guised.'

Wheat. Rye and Barley.

Wheat and rye have about the same
composition, although wheat Is some
what richer i'll protein. Rye is in gen
eral tougher and harder to grind.
Both are quite digestible, but less so
than corn, on account of the larger
percentage of hull. When they can
be had at about the price of corn they
may profitably form a part of soma
rations. They are fed more satisfac-
torily when ground than when whole
Barley seems to rank between wheat
and oats. It is not used very ex-
tensiyely as a stock food in the east,
except when the quality is too poor
to permit it's use for mailing pur-
noses

Result OF Good Care,

The dairy COW had good start and
foundation In the calf, and it makes
no difference If she is good or bad,
these qualities are due to some ex-
tent to the care and feed she re-
ceived during her first year or So
If you have a calf from a good cow
and expect to build a good dairy COW
from her, you can almost surpass
your expectations and astonish your
neighbors by giving the calf little
extra care and attention before she
has her first calf The prospects
of a good dairy cow can also be
ruined in the calf.
