WAR ON WHITE GRUB
Farmers After an Enemy That Robs
Them of Thousands.

MADISON, VISA vigorous cam
paign to eradicate the white grub
from the fields of the state was start
ed at the gathering of farmers held
under the auspices of the Madison
board of commerce
twas pointed out by speakers that
the June bug, the adult stage of the
grub, was especially plentiful this
year and that owing to this fact, the
grubs might be expected in greatly in
creased numbers next May and June
The attack of the grub is becoming
more menacing, it was said, and one
estimate placed the amount of DAM
age wrought last year, principally to
the corn crop, at $4,500,000.
Resolutions were adopted by the
farmers urging cooperation in all sec
tons of the state with the efforts of
State Orchard Inspector Sanders to
stamp out the pest. An appropriation
for the fight was made by the last ses-
sion of the legislature.

WISCONSIN Men ARE
AFTER SENATORSHIP
Lieutenant Governor Morris and
| Others Seek the TOga.

MADISON, WIS. = The political
gossip in Wisconsin now centers on
the successor to United States Sena-
tor Isaac Stephenson of Marinette,
whose term as senator will expire in
1914. Although the senator has not
expressed himself as to whether he
will retire or seek reelection, it is
generally presumed that he will not
again be a candidate for the office,
EEhich he has fifilled for the last two
Terms.
This will be the first election of SEN
ator by popular vote in Wisconsin,
The question of candidacy for the of
lice has already begun to be answered
but the only avowed candidate is
Lieutenant Governor Thomas Morris
of La Crosse. He will run for the Re-
publican nomination.
1t has also been understood here
that Governor Francis E. McGovern
intends to become a candidate for the
office, though the governor has not
yet indicated whether he will.
John Awkward of Madison, at pres
ent United States district attorney
here, is likely to become a candidate
on the Democratic ticket. He has
twice been an unsuccessful candidate
for governor. He may be opposed by
State Senator Paul Husting of May
vile, who has served several terms in
the legislature Both Alyward and
Husting are Democrats and both are
graduates of the University of Wis
consin.

DRINKING of Healths.

The drinking OF healths in wine or
liquor or other kinds originated in
Britain at the time of the rule of the
Danes, before Alfred the Great finally
succeeded in driving them from the
land. Owing to the assassination OF
Englishmen by the Danes, it became
custom to enter into compacts for the
mutual preservation of health and Sc
curity. These compacts were usually
pledged in wine, and hence the custom
of drinking healths.-London Standard.

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin VIC
men may establish a boycott on the
1913 state fair unless the fair board
rescinds the order refusing suffragists
the right, as political party, to have
a booth OF the state fair grounds.
Refusal to cook a meal fer any man,
even ones own husband, who has
anything to do with the fair is includ-
ed in the plan which was suggested
by Mrs. Minona S. Jones, Illinois suf
frage leader, who is sister of Miss
Lutte Stearns Of this city, state trav-
cling librarian. Mrs. Jones also pro-
poses that the women refuse, if their
husbands go to the fair, to sew but.
tons, wash dishes, sweep, collect
laundry or any other duties of wife.
The possibility of appealing to the
attorney general of the state for an
opinion as to the boards legal right
to bar the sucragists from the fair
grounds has also aroused members OF
Milwaukee branch of the Womans
Suffrage association. They have legal
advice that the authority vested in
the board does not give it the right
to bar them. 1t is said that the lack
of interest shown in the fight to OBJ
tain a recall of the boards order
would prevent any action in the courts
to determine the power of the fair
board and that the chief hope of the
organization lies in an appeal to the
attorney general or the governor.
