Rice Lake, Wis.
Dear Sir: This city Is now having
its second year of the commission
plan of government. We have five
commissioners including the mayor,
and each gets salary of $l25 year.
Our first commission did not run
things to suit the community and
they were recalled, and complete
set of new men elected. This was a
condition that could not have hap.
pened under the old system. There
is no doubt but that the officers are
more careful than they would be un-
der the council form of government
and you could not get as many votes
for the old system as there were
against adopting the new when the
commission form was voted on.
Our city has better government
morally and financially. 1t is the only
way to run a city.
Respectfully yours.
]. E. NIPPLE,

Oat Smut Threatens Wisconsin Far

Although the wide spread use OF
the formalin treatment for prevent

in check in Wisconsin for number
OF years. it is a~rin beginning to as
sumo Importance. According to re-
ports issued by the College of Agri-
culture of the University of Wiscon-
sin, in some oat fields in the state
40 per cent of the plants were affect
ed by smut last year. Unless the far
mers resume treating their seed oats
with formalin, which many have been
neglecting to do lately, smut may
again spread over the state, causing
serious and widespread loss.

Chatterer Runs for His Life.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel had been
scolding because there was no excite
ment. He had even tried to make some
excitement by waking Bobby Coon and
making him so angry that Bobby had
threatened to eat him alive. 1t had been
great fun to dance around and call Bobby
names and make fun of him. oh. yes, 1t
had been great fun. You see he knew
all the time that Bobby couldn't catch
him if he should try. But now things
were different. Chatterer had had all the
excitement that he wanted. Indeed. he
had more than he wanted. The truth is
Chatterer was running for his life and
he knew it

Girls Go Further Than Boys.

duce the boys to interest themselves In
improving the quality, the quantity and

similar organization. SO, following the or

plant their gardens and attend to their
cultivation. They go further than the
boys, for they can their products. Orig

of the girls clubs but now their range

her state, and she wi be one of the
most noteworthy-young gardeners among
all the champions to visit Washington.
Lucy rented a tenth of an acre of land
and planted il in tomatoes and had a
total yield of $3.50 pounds, nearly two
tons. She canned $50 No 3 cans and
223 glass jars, and marketed the balance.
The total expense of her garden was
$J31T, including ground rent. the value
of her own labor and every other ex-
penditure. Her receipts were $123.c5,
