State Sealer Makes First Visit and
Finds Little 70 Confiscate

George Warner, of Wausau, statt
Sealer of Weights and Measures
made his first visit to Ladysmith the
first Of this week and, unannounced
made tour of inspection of the
various stores in the city, testing
the apparatus for weighing and meas
uring found in each
Speaking to a representative O1
the News-Budget, Mr.. Warner said
that he found very few appliances
that were incorrect in this city, in
fact, the merchants here made an
unusually good showing in this re
spect, considering that no previous
inspector had been here.
Some apparatus was found that
didn't pass muster and this was con.
fiscated. A few scales We're found
that needed readiustment a trifle
and few measures were found that
were little off. A very small va
ration is allowed, but outside of
that all measures must be correct
Error either way makes them illegal
for use
There are some dealers in every
community who oppose most siren
uously any inspection of their scales
weights and measures, and especially
an investigation of their methods of
using the same. The reason for such
opposition is generally we'll founded
for the tests of conscientious in
spection would reveal too much.
Mr. Warner states that in most
every place he was given a friendly
reception here.
The prime object of weights and
measures inspection is to secure
full weight and measure and that
the purchasing of commodities by
weight, measure or numerical count
forms an equitable basis of dealing

Voelker's sugar-Coated Psychology

|
Mr.. Voelker began life as a baby.
That is about the only thing he ever
did that was like other people. His
whole existence has been a success
sion of surprises. He never waits for
the other fellow to begin something
so that he can follow in his foot
steps.
| He is a bundle of nervous energy.
AS he talks you feel that you ought
to hear swapping sounds. On dark
night | feel sure you can see sparks
flying from his finger tips. Teaching
field, so he accepted a professorship
| in Drake University. When he was
announced for a chapel talk the stu
dents were all there. And so we'll did
he interest everybody that the news
percolated to the office of the Mid
land Lyceum Bureau. The upshot was
five-year lecture engagement. He is
now filling his fourth year and the
Bureau has yet to hear complaint
on his work.
! 1t is hard to succeed in the lyceum
with special topics. A popular lecture
| is not supposed to tell his audience
anything it does not already know or
believe. At least this was the old
| idea. A sunshine" lecture was an
admirably contrived affair warrant
ed not to step on anybody's toes. To
discuss psychological topics before
popular audiences was the task
Voelker laid out for himself.
He toiled over his lectures day and
different, yet all dealing with differ
ent phases of the same thing. He
called them his Human Nature Lee
lures" He had an idea people would
| like to learn more about themselves.
He had an idea he could put them
up in such a way that the farmer
boy coming in from his chores, and
the blacksmith from his forge, and
the teamster, from his days hauling
could all understand what he was
driving at and would have something
to ponder over the next day. AS
result he awakens in many people
/ the desire to think Others he carries
farther along in their thinking. He
even gives the scholar new ideas and
new view points.-Ford Howell, in
Lyceumite and Talent.
Mr.. Voelker will deliver wheels
in the Head" a lecture on the in
tellect and plea for straight think
ing, at the Congregational church
Saturday, Feb. %.
The expression wheels in the
head was perhaps first used in de-
scribing would-be inventors of perpet-
ual motion and other chimerical con-
trivances. But the truth has leaked
out that we are all crazy-sometimes
and on some subjects. Fortunately,
however, every one can re-adjust to
"a great extent his own mental ma
chinery. We can sc0ur off the rust
and oil the gearing and mend the
cogs of association and sharpen the
knives of analysis. We can pull the
wheels out of their old ruts, put them
on the track of something worth
while, and drive the machine, with
vital steam. The admission fee is 35
cents and seats will be on sale at

PETITION MEANS "PuLLIEGG"

Cedar Rapids Republican:-Ea
have always been firm believers OF /. .e
petition plan of settling the mulct
question, but there is 50 much pulling
over the matter that it may be better
to go to the secret ballot. Under the
present system men are given no
peace of mind. They are besieged
and beseeched on both sides and life
is made a burden arguing the matter
with both sides. If we had a secret
ballot, every man could vote as he
pleased. The petition business is be-
ing reduced to the extremes of intol-
erableness. There are men who
complain that they have been seen
dozen times by advocates of both
sides and no answer seems to satisfy
either side. But are not these men
with troubled minds themselves to
blame? Why don't men take stand
and then stand there? The moment
man begins to wabble he will find
both sides landing on him until they
poster the life out of him. After all,
the men who are troubled in that way
are the weak sisters, the men who
have not mind enough to make it up.
