APPLIES PRIMARY LAW
TO THE TOWN MEETING

A complete reformation of tho
method of conducting town meetings
in Wisconsin will occur next spring
as result of the Bichler bill to which
executive approval has been given.
Since the organizing of the state in
1848, town meetings in Wisconsin have
been conducted on the old New England
plan. No official ballots were used.
All business was transacted by accla-
nation. The Bichler bill provides that
the electors of any town or village shall
hold caucus at least seven days prior
to the day of holding the election. Can
didates for office are to be nominated
by the caucus or by nomination papers
signed by the electors of each town or
village, equal in number to 10 per cent
of all the votes cast in such town or
village or all candidates for governor
at the last preceding election. From
the caucus records or official nominotion
papers the town or village clerk shall
make up printed ballot and the elec-
ton shall be conducted under the Au-
stralian system. The new law provides
that both the nominations and the
election shall be conducted by the Off
c1al ballot system. In reality, it ap-
plies the general primary election law
to town meetings.
The names of the persons nominated
at the primary or caucus and none
other shall be placed upon the official
ballots. In case no nominations are
made, the spaces in which names of
candidates may be printed or written
shall be blank Ballots not provided
by the respectiveItown or village clerks
shall not be counted in any election,
but any voter ruay write upon his bal
lot the name of any person for whom
he desires to vote for any office, in such
place as to indicate the office.

COUNTY EXHIBITS
SET NEW RECORD
EVERY NORTHERN SECTION TO
BE ESPECIALLY REPRESENTED
AT STATE FAIR.
TO BOOST EVERYLOCALlTY
Board Makes Liberal Appropriations
and Supt. GeorgeF. Comings En-
larges His Department.
COMPETE ON EoUALIzED BASIS.

Efforts to make the Wisconsin State
Fair, Milwaukee, September to II
correlate the best of the county fairs
in fact as well as general effect are
surprising those of former years, ac-
cording to early indications. Practi-
cally every northern county in the state
has signified intention to be represent
ed in the county exhibits department.
Many of the old southern counties
which heretofore have needed this
special department very little also have
made appropriations and will have
large displays.
Within the past two or three years
only has the county exhibit department
received definite attention, and only
few counties have been represented.
This year more than thirty counties
had made preliminary arrangements
before the spring had passed. and
boards of supervisors or special agri-
cultural societies were preparing for
necessary action in as many more, 1t
is hoped that every one of the seventy
one counties will be thus specially re-
presented this year.
Each County Fair Chance.
The schedule of awards is so arrang-
ed as to give each county fair chance.
For instance, in the division of pre-
MUM money, points are awarded for
distance from the state fair in order
to offset any advantage because of
proximity to the fair grounds. The
exhibits are to consist of grains, fruits,
vegetables, grasses and seeds. Espe-
cial attention will be given to the study
of seed grains in this department, as
results of the efficient work by state
experiment stations and railroad and
commercial bodies will be in evidence.
The board of agriculture has appro-
priated So, 600 for awards in this de-
partment on the basis of twenty coun-
ties affording displays. For each coun-
ty over twenty $100 will be added and
money will be divided prorata accord
to the score. The attitude of the board
toward the county exhibits is not taken
as in opposition to home tairs in the
counties, But, on the contrary, it is
argued that the display of county's
products at the state fair should be of
benefit to county and the county fair.
Many New Features.
George F. Comings, Eau Claire, super
intendent of the county exhibits depart
ment, has made elaborate arrange
ments for enlargement and many new
features. Mr.. Comings is experienced
in this speciality and the results of his
methods supported by up-to date sgene-
raj officials and the board, are mani
fest. None of the disagreeable fea-
lures of former years will be permitted
this year. No fakirs will be seen in
the center space which will be filled
entirely with regular county, expert
ment station and agricultural exhibits.

Apples Without Cores.

Should any person ask for the core Of
