farce, as everyone is aware, and until
management has some assurance that
the racing will be racing this class of

COMMITTEE VOTES
To MOVE STATE FAIR
Assembyman Carpenter
Argues that It Should Not
Remain at Milwaukee.
NO PATRONAGE THERE
Bill to Increase Amounts
{ for County Fairs Is Being
Considered.

By vote of to attn Madison the
committee on agriculture approved
the plan of Assemblyman George
Carpenter of Baraboo to move the
state fair from Milwaukee to some
other city more central to the agricul-
tural portions of the state.
TIE vote came after a protracted
hearing at which the meritsI of both
sides of the question had been fully
and freely discussed. It is said that
the present temper of the assembly is
such that'the bill will pass. The senate
has not been closely canvassed but
there seems to be sentiment in that
house also that the fair should be To-
Gated at a more central point.
At the Hearing.
That Milwaukee people do not pat
ronize the state fair as they should
was demonstrated by comparative
statistics and openly confessed by j.
p. keenan,, secretary of the Citizens
Business league of Milwaukee.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment of a commission of IL MEMBERS
one from each congressional district,
to be charged with the duty OF
selecting a new site for the state fair,
fliee Selection to be made from sites
suitably located and offered to the
state free of charge.
Failure i'm Milwaukee.
Mr.. Carpenter spoke in support OF
his bill, prefaclng his remarks with
the declaration that the Wisconsin
state fair in Milwaukee is a failure
financially and educationally.
The great reason, he said, for this
failure is that the location is in ar
extreme corner of the state, with 8
broad expanse of water on one side
and removed far from the agricultural
center of the state.
"If the state fair is to be devoted t'
the entertainment of the people 0
Milwaukee" said Mr.. Carpenter
uthen leave it there. If it is to be TO
the education of the people of the stat
for the betterment of the agricr
rests. then it should

Baraboo Resident Tells of
Wages and Food Prod

WAGE SCALE is VERY LOW
Called Land of the Sky'H
Weather Not Kept in
Cold Storage.
WAGE SCALE is VERY LOW

Hendersonville, N. c., February IL.
Hendersonville, in western North
Carolina, is.situated on a level pIa-
teau, surrounded on every side by
mountains and has an altitude of
2, ,250 feet above sea level. The mean
temperature of spring Is 53 degrees,
summer, II degrees; autumn, SO
degrees and wintery39 degrees. This
even temperature, with dry, invigor-
ating air and almost constant sur-
shine makes up climate that can
scarcely be surpassed. 1t is especially
suitable for the early stages of pulmon-
ary troubles and many sufferers from
tuberculosis come to these mountains
for relief and cure. The mortality
from pulmonary dfsease in the entire
state of North Carolina is small, only
1874 for every 10000 of population, and !,
statistics show that ttheAdtatht fs&d N
the mountain section is 5Uperaa
than in the low lying portions Of TIL
state. People suffering from asthma, u
hay fever, malaria, nervous prostra-
ton and exhaustion and from over
work are also greatly benefited by
this climate.
"The Land of the Sky"
It was Christian Reid, the novelist,
who gave to western North Carolina
the name by which it is so generally
known, "The Land of the Sky" The
name seems especially appropriate for
since we came, three months ago.
there have been only twelve days
without sunshine, end this is called
an unusually cloudy, gloomy winter
The lowest temperature has been IL
degrees above zero, and that only once.
During January the temperature
ranged from 25 to SO degrees. English
violets, dandelions and crocuses have
been in bloom for two weeks. No
pretentions are made to California
weather, but the climate is not kept
in "cold storage" Last month we had
an unusual amount of rain for the
season as the rainy season is in early
spring. The rain differs greatly from
that in California because it is decided~
ly wet. California enthusiasts have
