An unusually heavy enrolment mark
ed the opening days of the ten-day Far
mers' Course just drawing to a close at
Madison. Last year the total atten-
dance was about 20o0, but this figure
will probably be exceeded by several
hundred when the final reports are com

This larg. attendance shows that the
farmers of Wisconsin are recognizing
more than ever the value of this gene
raj course given in connection with
four or five more specialized courses.

chance to show what you could do in
rearing her. You failed and are not
the proper person to have her IN custo-

Madison, Wisconsin Feb. G. Sena-
tor Edward F. Ackley introduced a
bill in the state senate tonight to abol-
ish the junior prom" of the Universi-
ty of Wisconsin and other class dances.
His proposal was inspired by testimony
given at the hearing on an anti-frater-
nifty bill in the legislature Wisconsin
gave evidence of lavish expenditure
when university students tend to
impoverish their parents by supporting
a 81, 800 dance. said Senator Ackley,
lit is high time the people Of a demo
cratic state should be informed of
what is going on at their state endowed
university.

Madison, Wis, Feb. Special I'm
der bill proposed by Senator A. E.
Martin, Milwaukee, the consumer will
be able to tell the age of the eggs that
adorn the breakfast table as we'll as
the number of years other food pro-
ducts were held in the strongholds of
the alleged refrigerator trust.
The bill proposes limiting the time
food ppoducts may be kept in cold stor-
age to six months and provides that
they shall be stamped with the date
they were placed in storage as well as
the date they are withdrawn.
The measure, it is said, will do much
towards curtaiIing the high cost of liv-
ing by limiting the time in which cold
storage barons can store up food neces-
sites and hold them to await a sky
ward rush of the price
Heavy penalties are exacted for vio-
lations the first offense being punish
able by fine of not less than $25. and
the third offense drawing a fine of $500
and for thirty to ninety days in jail
FEE SPLITTING ABOLISHED.
A bill which is to create a stir in the
Eledical profession is that of Assembly
man Frederick which makes it unlaw-
full for physicians or surgeons to split
fees. The measure, it is claimed will
have tendency to do away with unne-
cessary operations.
Many physicians. it is said, rather
than lose a fat fee, will perform an un
necessary operation or, if they lack
the ability. advise one and divide the
fee with the operating man.
WILD CAT STOCK HIT.
Much toward the safeguard of Wis
consin investors interests and the era
dicato of wild cat of speculation is con-
templated in the measure introduced in
the senate Monday night by Senator
Otto Bosshard, Lacrosse.
The Bosshard bill provides for the
formation of corporation commission
to consist of the secretary of state. the
commissioner of insurance and the com
missioner of banking who, without any
additional salary. shall keep track of
the activities of concerns seeking to
float stocks and bonds in Wisconsin.
PERMIT TO SELL STOCK
Under the proposed law firm wish
ing to do business in Wisconsin must
first secure a permit from the commits
sion and must accompany the applica-
tion with complete financial statemen
te as well as a synopsis of the plan un-
der which it intends to do business.
The advertising literature of the com
pany must be d by the commits
sion to preclude possibility of flooding
the state with false statements calcu-
lated to lure the unsuspecting into
investment in blue sky" schemes.

Nlillam Shefman' committee.
Gentlemen:--
On January 18th. wrote to the
State Board of Agriculture. advising
them of the action Of the County
Board as to having an exhibit at the
state fair of 1913 Following is their
answer;
Madison, Jan. 2l 1913.
W. d, Tyler, County Clerk,
Hurley Wis
Dear sir
We have your letter of the 18th inst.
and in answer thereto will say that
this board appreciates very much the
fact that your County has made an ap-
preparation to defray the expense Of as
sembing an exhibit of the agricultural.
horticultural and mineral products Of
Iron County at the Wisconsin State
Fair of 1913. The Wisconsin State
Board of Agriculture will set aside a
reasonable amount of space in the
County Exhibit Building for your exhi-
bit. The usual space in this building
used by other counties exhibiting there
in is approximately Il feet deep and s
to 10 feet in width and so arranged that
the products of the county may be
shown to the best advantage.
1t is of course advisable to have at
least one representative of your county
accompany the exhibit in order that
the same may be properly arranged for
exhibition and also in order that he
maybe present during the fair to ex-
plain to visitors the advantages of Iron
County from every point of view.
We are forwarding you under separ-
ate cover. a copy of the 1912 Premium
List. and on referring to page 127 you
will find the rules and regulations go
verning exhibits by counties The 1913
classification will be forwarded you I'M
mediately after the same is received
from the press. in order that you may
note any changes that may be made in
thi 5 classification.
The Board at this time is considering
the advisablity of dividing the state in
to at least two sections in order that
the Northern Counties will not be re-
quired to compete with the Southern
and older counties. and by reason of
the fact that much larger representa-
tion Of county exhibits is anticipated
at the coming fair the Board will also
undoubtedly add considerably to the
premium money offered This in itself
will go long way toward paying the
expense Of assembling and exhibiting
the resources of your County.
The members of the State 3 Gard of
Agriculture desire to cooperate with
the people Of your county in assisting
them to place a creditabe exhibit Of
the resources of your county at the com
ing State Fair and if we can be Of any
further service at any time, do not he
state to advise. Thanking you for
your personal interest in the matter
and with very best wishes for the sue
cess of your county we are,
Very truly yours.
J. c. Mackenzie, Secretary.

FINLEY BREEsE MORSE

An artist and portrait painter by pro-
fession. Morse became an inventor by
chance. A casual remark BY a fellow
passenger on board ship when he was
returning FROM London in 1882 caused
him to take up the study OF electricity
That remark was: "Dr. ex-
pertinent proved that electricity passes
instantaneously over a wire of n
length" Before the voyag was COM
pleted, Morse had invented the dot.
Dash alphabet. and had thougnt
out and planned essentially the electric
telegraph as it exists today.
But II was not until 1874 that the first
line was completed between Washington
and Baltimore, and the historic message
what hath God Wrought" was sent.
For years, he tried TO interest Congress
in his project, then he visited England
and France hoping to interest the gov
ernments of these countries, but without
success, When he returned In 1888, he
wrote: ~ am without a farthing in my
pocket, and have to borrow even for my
meals: and ever worse than this. / have
incurred a debt of rent by my absence
But he continued to petition Congress,
and finally was rewarded for his persever-
ance by an appropriation of $780, 900 which
bui1t the Washington Baltimore lines and
placed his name in the front rank or
henefac nf the race.
