An injunction, re suainiug the carrying oet of tine re- cegtiy passed law. however. will keeT the precinct officers in until the in junction is raised or declared perma- nent
 The first real test in the precinct light will occur tomorrow. when a decision on the Injunction will be made by the superior court at Tomb stAne. The law. which was passed at the last session of the legislature. provides that the boarGs of super Nisors may declare the precinct Of. fices vacant on the first of the year and that they may redistrict. and the injunction is tc restrain the boards from doing this. The fight against the law is being made almost entirely by the officers in Ccchise county, as few of the other counties in the state have offered any assistance.
 The decision tomorrow will make little difference either way in the case, as the matter is going to be taken Hp to the supreme court. It is believed that this will be done almost immediately after the decision of the superior court is handed down, + this is done 1t believed that the whole case viii be definitely settled by the of this month.

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-09-26

WHILE Wisconsin's crops this year
have been bountiful and of remarkably
high quality, large part of the coun-
try has suffered from drought, and the
general outcome of the principal har-
vests is estimated to have been below
that of last year. The present esti-
mated yield of corn, wheat, oats and
barley is a, 339, 0O0,O 900 bushels, COM
pared with 100000, 600 bushels last
year, an anticipated reduction of l, ISL, :
100000 bushels. The potato crop is
figured at 325, 900, 600 bushels, compar-
ed with 400, 900, 900 bushels year ago,
a loss of $4,000, 900 bushels. The hay
crop is put at 10000 tons, against
72, 900, 900 tons in 1912. The cotton
crop is also disappointment, the ex-
IRENE estimates being about 13, 500, 600
bales, while the worlds output is ex-
pected to fall short not less than 1000,
900 bales below requirements. These
estimates are based on government
crop returns, which often prove below
rather than above the facts. However,
there is no foundation in the outlook
for an expectation that food prices will
be lower in the twelve months to come
than they have been in the crop year
now passed into history

Blind Swimmers.

The man who is unfortunate enough
to lose his sight or to be born blind is
says a medical authority, severely
handicapped on dry ground. but he
can, if he is a swimmer, find his way
easily enough in the water. Blind
people generally have keen sense OF
hearing, and they can steer themselves
in the water by sound as we'll as an
ordinary man by sight. II they are
swimming toward a certain point q
whistle from time to time will enable
them to reach it with unerring accu-
racy. This fact has been proved by
some interesting experiments. A race
between blind men and ordinary swim
mers on a lake resulted in victory
for the former. Normal swimmers
lose much time in raising their heads
for the purpose Of keeping their eyes
on the winning post. This also pre-.
vents them from concentrating all
their attention on speed.--Exchange
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-09-26

A TABULATED report by the bureau
OF labor and statistics at Washington
shows that the cost of food products to
the consumer has increased from %.
per cent on flour to 1885 per cent on
bacon in the last % years. Cornmeal
is 57.3 per cent higher now than during
the ten year period from 189O-1899.
Butter is Alb per cent higher; milk,
1874; potatoes, IA; eggs, 408; sirloin
steak, 1872; hens, 76.8-and so on. The
only article of which the price has de-
clined is sugar. President Wilson please
note that his ''free sugar" has declin-
ed 8per cent in price! The average in
crease in price on June Is, 1913, was
1912 per cent above the average ten
year period from 1890 to 1899. Not
only that, but the increase is steadily
going on. The prices of 1913 are IA. 4
per cent above those of 1911 and 3.3
per cent above those of 1912.

NINETY per cent of the young men
who take the short courses in agricul-
ture at the university are employed in
agricultural pursuits and IS per cent
return to Wisconsin farms to earn their
living. Fifteen young men who grad
uated in agriculture have taken posi-
tons at salaries ranging from 5000 to
81, 300 annually. The average salary is
81, 400. Harry L. Russell, dean of the
College OF Agriculture, reports that the
call for men capable Of filling respon-
sible positions greatly exceeds the sup
ply. Many graduates have refused to
accept positions as teachers and agri-
cultural experts because they desired
to return to the home farm.

Reflection and Common Sense Needed

Wisconsin has been supplied late
years with lot of law butchers and
thinkers who have about driven the man
ufacturing and farming classes crazy
with their meddling with every line of
business effort under the plea of being
progressive. Mr.. C. H. Herr of In
diana touches up such sublimated non
sense with real farmers grasp in the
Tribune Farmer. The concluding para
graph speaks the thoughts of thousands
of Wisconsin farmers. Here it is:
eff we keep on progressing on these
lines it will soon require three men to
run the smallest farm-the farmer to
do the work, an expert to tell how to
do it and an officer of the law to tell
him what to do. This will relieve the
farmer from using his thinker and will
give him more time to cuss about the
high taxes. Before passing any new
laws to regulate farming let US reflect
few minutes.
