A WORLD WITHOUT BOOKS

What if there were no books?
Think what your state would be, in
situation like that! Think what
1t would be to know nothing, for eX-
ample, of the way in which Ameri-
can independence was won; nothing
of Bunker Hill; nothing of George
Washington except the little, half
true and half-mistaken, that your ia
theirs could remember, of what their
fathers had repeated, of what their
fathers had told to them. Think what
it would be to have nothing but
shadOWy traditions of the voyage of
Columbus of the coming of the May
flower pilgrims, and of all the plant
ing of life in the New World from
the Old. Can you imagine a world
intellectually famine-smitten like
that and not shrink from the thought
of being condemned to it? Yet the
communities that will not establish
public or travelling libraries are
choosing to live as though mankind
did actually wallow in the awful
darkness of that state from which
writing and books have rescued us.
For them it is as if no ship had
ever come from the far shores where
their ancestry dwelt, and the interest
of existence TO them is huddled in the
petty space Of their own few years
between the boundaries of their own
town. How can life be worth living
on such terms as that? How can
man or women be content with so lit
tie when so much is proffered by the
Wisconsin Free Library Commission,
Madison, Wisconsin, whose purpose
it is to supply every community in
the state with wholesome books and
who VIII gladly welcome inquiries
from communities that wish to secure
collections OF the best of the worlds
literature.

Community Advancement Best
Promoted by Good Reading.

A community must be held back or
set forward according to the intelli-
gence and character of it's people, and
the character of it's people is largely
determined by the reading matter
found within the community. Every
town should feel the need of having
within the reach of each individual
books SO carefully chosen that al
though the number may be small,
children at school, those who would
compensate in part for limited OPP
poTtunitiCs and those who desire fur
Their culture, may find among them
books which will prove a suggestion,
an impulse, an incentive, an inspira-
ton, and which will so quicken and
energize that every contact will mean
strength, refinement and uplift This
is one of the purposes of the travel
ing Libraries that are sent out by the
Wisconsin Free Library Commission
from it's Office in the Capitol building
in Madison Collections of books on
a wide field of topics are shipped in
strong chests to any community for
the mere payment of the freight upon
receipt and return, no other charges
being eXacted. Correspondence with
the commission is earnestly solicited.

WIsCONSIN'S LIVE LOCAL PRESS.
Do You Appreciate What 1t is Doing
What About Your Patronage?

The state of Wisconsin owes millions
per year to the efforts of the local
press Do you, Mr.. Merchant, appre-
ciate this fact? And when we say
merchant we mean to include every
one who has anything to sell, whether
it be goods or services.
The Wisconsin Advancement assoc
citation (Which necessarily is forced to
spend it's advertising funds where peo-
pie are to be obtained to come to Wis
consin) has repeatedly urged upon Wis
consin people to come to the support
of the local press, not as a matter of
charity (for that would be seorned) but
as matter of good business policy
and because to do otherwise would be
to shirk duty not so much to the press
as to the community.
The Wisconsin Advancement asso-
citation sends copy of it's weekly pub
licity to the press Of the state, 1t does
not ask that it be printed to any great
er extent than in the interest of the
readers of the various publications it
should be. Yet the wide awake news
papers of the state have seen the in
terest of their readers in this matter
and published "acres" of articles cal
culated to develop the state, produce
better crops, stimulate the growth of
pedigreed grains, the establishment of
alfalfa as a common crop, the installa-
ton of modern improvements in coun-
try homes (the most important matter
before the agricultural people today
and many other phases of the subject.
On behalf of the people who realize
the vast Importance of this campaign
of betterment, the Wisconsin Advance
ment association makes public ac-
encouragement of this great work of
the state press and urges that it is up
to the various committees to show
their interest in cash and checks for
services rendered, and to see to it
that those services are ordered.
This is serious matter Many of
the papers of the state are crippled
today because the people of their COM
munities are asleep to this greatest of
all matters of co-operation-tha be-
tween the people and the press. The
writer was for years publisher of
weekly papers and can speak ''by the
card" in the matter.

EFFICIENT CITIZENSHIP
HOW BEST PROMOTED

1t is our business in this country
to get at the best methods to govern
ourselves 1t was very well when
we were a little federation stretch
ing along the Atlantic seaboard. In
one hundred years we have swelled
from a handful to ninety millions,
and the problem is to educate these
in the principles of that government
of which they are an essential and
vital part We want citizens and
the public school and the public liz
brary are the places where citizens
are made. The Wisconsin Free Lii
brary Commission, Madison, Wiscon-
sin, invites correspondence from
those who desire to secure the bless
ing of books for their communities,
for the library extension work which
it carries on aims to supply to every
man, woman and child either through
it's own resources or by cooperating
with other affiliated agencies what
each community or any individual in
the community may require for mem
tai stimulus, intellectual recreation,
or practical knowledge and infor-
nation.

Our New Ideas.

We brought back new ideas as to
northern Wisconsin-its present de-
velopment, it's future possibilities.
The amount of fine farming country
we saw, already under high cultiva-
tion and with good buildings, was
surprising. Parts of sven the most
northern counties we visited were as
well cultivated and prosperous look
ing as our home counties. Of course
there are thousands of acres still UNI
touched by the pillow, much of this
cut-over or burned-over sections. The
labor of clearing must be great though
the stump puller and the dynamite
stick minimize this labor. There is
certainly room for many more people
in shat part of the state, though the
man who goes there must be prepared
for hard work and should have little
capital.
This year northern Wisconsin looks
as prosperous as southern Wisconsin,
and is equally green. am sure there
is enough forage along Wisconsin high
ways on either side of the track to feed
all those starving Kansas cattle, OF
whom we read so much about fort
night ago.

TIMELY FIRE. NOTES.

Defective furnaces, boilers, stoves
and freplaces; stoves, stovepipes and
hot-air pipes too near woodwork; de-
fective chimneys, sparks from Chin
neys and chimneys burning out, and
placing ashes in wooden receptacles,
on wood floors or against wooden walls
last fiscal year, were responsible for
sos fires in this state, over "a per cent
of the total number of fires, and a
fire waste of $500, 45O, or over 10 per
cent of the total fire loss.
These fires were responsible for
shutting out many human lives
Ordinary care and timely repairs
would have prevented most of this fire
waste and loss of human life.
The danger season for this class of
fires is fast approaching, so do not de-
lay to have your heating plant inspect
ed by a competent man, and make the
needed repairs at once.
Consider carefully the following
QUESTIONS:
Have YOU metal stove board under
the heating stove?
Is all woodwork within two feet of
the stove protected?
Is the stove free from cracks and
breaks?
Is the stovepipe clean, sound and
perfectly joined and rigid?
Have you protected all woodwork
within eighteen inches of the stove
pipe?
Is there a ventilated, double thimble
around the pipe where it passes
through partition?
Is the chimney clean, is it free from
cracks, and is the mortar between the
bricks still sound?
Does any woodwork come in contact
with the chimney?
Are any flue holes papered over,
covered with wood or stuffed up with
rags?
Does the wallpaper come up against
the stovepipe?
Have you protected the ceiling over
the boiler or furnace and the walls
near either?
Have you protected the woodwork
above and near the smok estaclz?
Are you overheating the stove or
furnace, or leaving drafts wide open?
Have you metal receptacles for ashes?
Do you dump ashes on wooden floors
or against wooden walls, partitions
and fences?
Do you deposite rags, waste paper
and other rubbish with ashes?
DO you keep the boiler room free
from combustible rubbish?
Safety along these lines means pro-
lection to your property and the lives
of those dear to you; so inspect all
these things and exercise due care.

GLEN p. HOST,
State Fire Marshall.

A sufficient start has been made in
Alfalfa growing to demonstrate that
Wisconsin is suited to become one of
the greatest alfalfa states in the coun-
try. 1t is now upto the people of the
state to go ahead and make the pro-
duction of this liking Of forage" crops
general throughout the state Thou
sands Of farmers in Wisconsin are get
ting an average yield of upwards of
four tons to the acre, and it is figured
by good authorities and a million
acres-when conves ted into milk and
meat would add 500, 900, coo annually
to the output of the state Shouldsuch
a great thing be overlooked? Should
it be lost through neglect?
We could have 2,000,0 600 acres in a
few years, without considering the adj
dition of acreage that will be made
through the sentiment of the north
ern counties, and when they are set
tied we should have four million acres
of alfalfa. In other words, alfalfa can
be made to practically double the out
put of the farmers of Wisconsin.

BRAIN STARVATION IN THE BOOK
LESS HOME.

The bookless home does not un-
derstand its own loss. 1t does not
know the leanness in which its mind
it kept by want OF food. 1t does
not know what starvation of mag
nation and of thought 1t has in
ficted upon itself. There is no equal
substitute for books. There is moth
ing else which will so break for US
the poor hobble of everyday sights
and sounds and habits and tastes by
which our thinking and feeling are
tethered to a little worn round. No
home in Wisconsin need be without
books. A postal inquiry to the Wis
consin Free Library Commission,
Madison, will bring an application
blank, which viii, in turn, bring in
its train collections of wholesome
books. to be exchanged at frequent
intervals for further material.

LEE TELLS FARMERS
HOW TO HANDL CRFAM

AS the quality of butter is largely
governed by the care given to the milk
and cream by the patrons Of the cream
cries, cooperation between the farmer
and the buttermaker will help to over
come many of the common troubles in
cident to the manufacture of this pro-
duet of the dairy
This is the opinion of C. E. Lee, of
the college of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, who has been
making careful study of creamery
butter making methods.
AS the making of butter of highest
quality means greater demand at
higher price, consequently greater re-
turns per COW, every dairymau contri-
buting milk to a creamery is at least
financially affected, declares this ex-
pert in dairying.
''The difference between butter made
from cream skinned at the creamery
and that made from farm SKINNED
cream is far greater than it should be.
In the monthly scoring contests car
ried on at the College Of Agriculture
last year the butter made in the fac
tories receiving only whole milk scored
two points higher than that mace in
the factories to which farm skinned
cream was delivered.
despite many notions to the con-
trary, every farmer in Wisconsin can
produce cream from which superior
butter can be made II he cannot af-
ford milk house a small tank for
holding the cream cans could be so
constructed and so located that all the
water pumped for the stock will pass
through it. 1t is not advisable to store
the cream in large stock watering
tank nor in the cellar. Nor should the
cream obtained from one Swimming be
poured with the supply from previous
milliings until it has stood in the water
tank for several hours. The cream in
the large delivery cans should be stir
red after each new lot is added and
once during the day.
Delivery to the creamery should be
made three or four times each week,
and clean can, free from rust spots
should be used.
1t is best to skim cream that will
test between 80 and 40 per cent, When
cream testing under 80 per cent is haul
ed away from the farm, the loss in
skim milk alone is considerable. For
example, the patrons of one factory in
northern Wisconsin last year lost $1,000
worth of skim milk because of skim
ming cream testing under 30 per cent.

THE TRAIN DISASTER
Spreading of Rails May Have
Ditched Train Which Brought
Death to Four Persons

asphalt pavement on Union ave-
nue..
Three box refrigerator cars fol-
lowing the engine and filled with
berries and vegetables from the
south, were laid up on the bank
but hardly injured. Following
them came the steel baggage
coach. It's weight apparently
caused it to leap into the air and
then come down with a crash and
dead stop. The rear end crash
ed into the steel smoking car be-
hind and crushed into tangled
mass of steel the first IL feet.
Here is where death laid sud
den hand on four. All were sit
ting in the front seats. They
never had a chance. Passengers
say they heard one agonizing cry
and that was all.
Brakeman Bob MeMurray of
Seattle still held his bra6eman's
cap in his hand when the wreck
ing train jerked the baggage car
out and exposed the dead. He
had eaten his dinner and was
sitting hat off, apparently.
81 had been sitting with him
and just got up to go to the rear
of the car for drink said Clar-
ence Duthie of Sand Point, Idaho,
after the wreck. He escaped an
Inhalation by about half minute.
The others killed were passen-
gers. They were crushed to
death instantly and pinned under
tons of steel. The front end of
the smoxer stood up in the air
slightly and the baggage car was
telescoped into it. Every window
in the smoker was out, the trucks
off and the track under it torn
up into a ploughed field.
There were two coaches follow
ing that had their ends crushed
ana were off their trucks. No
one was seriously hurt in either
OF them, however, excepting Mrs.
Maggie Jordan of Hillhurst, who
is soon to become a mother. She
was coming to Tacoma to place
flowers on the grave of her dead
husband, who recently passed
away.
The two rear coaches were
hardly Jared. Passengers did not
even know there was a wrecx un-
til they came out and saw.
Passing automobiles and a re-
lief train from the city carried
the passengers and injured to the
city. The work of rescue was
done quickly as all the hurt were
in the smoking car.

Blood and water both flowed
in the laundry girls strike this
morning.
A delegation of nearly 100
striking laundry girls surrounded
the Tacoma Steam Laundry this
morning at the opening hour and
proceeded to lay siege to the
place. A pitched battle ensued,
one woman was badly beaten up
by a mangle boss, several were
soaked with water and now the
courts will take hand.
One woman, Mrs. George A.
Harker, with whom the strikers
demonstrated against working, de-
clared she had eight little chill
dren at home to feed and she had
to work, much as she disliked to
do so. She only got $S a week
and President Brock of the union
told her to come out and she
would get strike benefits and he
handed her So out of his pocket.
The little woman promptly
joining the strikers.
This was getting serious for
the laundry and the men inside
determined to disperse the army
which had the place invested.
Foreman Jensen of the mangle
department rose to the occasion
and from a second story window
n, 4 u,ith caunroI hnoIxatc 0f uu /, -
deftly heaved from the battle
ments he is alleged to nave given
a section of the investing army
good soaking. Mrs. Nicholson,
Rose Houseman, Mabel Berou,
president of the union, who was
in the front ranks, and May Nc
Cullough,- secretay, all got soaked
to the skin.
This caused the girls to fall
back slightly.
They then began a long dis
tance siege. As strike-breakers
appeared they sought TO dissuade
them from working. As one wom-
an got off the street car the girls
met her and began talking to her
pleasantly urging her to join
them to work for better condi-
tions.
Mangle Boss Jensen, flushed
with victory In the cold water
campaign sailed forth then to
meet the enemy on the street. Ac-
cording to witnesses he grabbed
Mrs. Fitzpatrick. who was talking
to the strike-breaker and jerked
Der away. Mrs. Fitzpatrick re-
sisted and Jensen, 1t Is said,
her against the concrete
wall OF the building. cutting open
her face and causing a stream
of blood to gush from her nose.
