STALLION ENROLMENT LAW
AMENDED BY LEGISLATURE

The amendments to the stallion
law, asked of the Legislature by the
department of horse breeding of the
College Of Agriculture of the Univer
sity of Wisconsin and the State
Horse Breeders Association were
approved by the governor on May
3, and go into effect On and after
July /, 1913. Owners affidavits of
soundness will no longer be accept
ed in the granting of certificates of
enrolment, and veterinarians affida-
Wits will be required in the future.
The department is given authority,
in an emergency case, to accept an
owners affidavit until a veterinary
examination can reasonably be made.
Veterinarians are required to charge
just and reasonable fee not ex-
ceeding five dollars for each stallion
examined. Hereafter complaints of
unsoundness must be signed by three
responsible parties before an investi-
SdIAo1 Will NC uIouc ny tuc ucpdIt-
ment.
Enrolment. certificates are to ex-
pire on the first day of January Of
each year and must be renewed an
nually before the first day of April
following. The fee for renewal is now
fifty cents Hitherto certificates have
been renewed biennially at a cost of
one dollar The fee for a new en-
rollment certificate remains at two
dollars and transfer of ownership
or a duplicate certificate will cost
fifty cents as heretofore The re-
quirements relative to posting up
printed copies of the enrolment GER
tificates have been made more spec
ific and will apply to every stable
where the horse is used, at home or
away from home. In the law as
amended, the Standard Jack and
Jennet Registry Association has been
given recognition.
After June 80, when the books of
the department close for the current
year, all applications will be dealt
with according to the requirements of
the amended law. Only stations en-
rolled at that date will be listed in
the annual circular of the depart
ment.

LARGE CROWD WITNESSES BOUT
"Soidier McPike" and Tony Kowitz
Prove to be Evenly Matched

A large crowd witnessed the box
ing exhibition at the opera house
Monday night and all were we'll sat
isfied A large number We're down
from Bruce
Soldier McPike," (F V. Staley) of
this city, and Tony KowitZ, OF Bruce,
in the main bout, fought a very even
fight. McPike was the quickest and
most scienced as had been expected,
but Kowitz was by no means a
novice and had considerable advan-
tage in weight. Kowitz possessed
more skill than he had been gener-
ally credited with.
Kowitz had clearly the best of the
first two rounds and the last two,
or possibly three. In the second round
he closed Staley's left eye and the
Soldier fought the remaining eight
rounds with this big handicap. Staley
had much the best of the middle
rounds of the encounter and on the
an even break with his husky oppo-
nent
The 'curtain-raiser" was a 5-round
bout between Perry Magee and Willie
Jones, both of this city which was
won by the former
kid" Cook, of Rice Lake, and
Spec. Del" Riley. of this city boxed
eight rounds as the preliminary to
the main event. Riley won, but Cook
made very good showing, consid-
ering his weight.
Arrangements are being perfected
for another bout between McPike and
.<oWitz, which is scheduled to be held
here June 10

Rice Lake Bank Buys Cattle

Something new in the way of i'm
proving Rice Lake and vicinity was
pulled off last week by the First Ma
tional bank of the city. Nels Stall
helm, the cashier, accompanied by
R. Lyon, cattle-buying expert, as
representatives of the bank, had
previously visited Augusta, Lake
Mills, Juneau, Fond du Lac, and
other stock centers of the state, and
had purchased all the Holsteins and
other good COWS they could find for
sale at reasonable figures, and
shipped the result, so head of the
finest mich COWS, mostly Holsteins,
to this city, and last Saturday at
the stock yards, the animals were
sold to the neighboring farmers at
cost--Rice Lake Times.
The above is a sample Of the ac-
ton being taken by upper Wiscon-
sin bankers to help settlers get
started. 1t assures success every
time and in the end pays the bank
big returns.
Why should not the state be more
active in getting the settlers who
will buy the cows In the end the
state gets the biggest dividends

CELEBRATION WILL BE A HUM
MER

Ed. Worden is out hustling to make

uiSites is plenty of funds and Mr.

getting the business men to loosen
up About $500 has already been sub
scribed
The celebration held here July g,
and this year will be ''hum-
mer." Watch this paper for further
details.

The bill provides that the county
sheriff shall find employment for his
prisoners and pay the wages over to
their families or needy dependents.
In the event the convicts are en-
ployed on the. roads the county will
pay the wages to the dependents.
To Eliminate Caucuses
A senate bill is on the road to
passage providing that candidates fol-
town and village offices may be nom
mated by circulating nomination pa
pers in lieu of the old time caucus.
1t is not construed to prohibit the
caucus, however. The bill further
provides an official ballot for town
and village elections instead of al
lowing everybody to get ballots print
I'd as heretofore.
Marketing Bill Passes
The Hull bill providing that the in
dustrial commission collect the names
and standing of reliable purchasers
of farm products and furnish such
lists to farmers upon application has
now passed both houses. It is hoped
that this bill will encourage direct
marketing.
Raise Members Pay
The Legislature seems determined
10 again refer to the people a con-
stitutional amendment to increase
the pay of the members of the legis-
.ature to $500 per year. The present
pay has been SO small that in recent
years members have been actual
money out of pocket by working for
the state. They hope the people will
give more consideration to their re-
quest this time
State Loans to Farmers
The Nye resolution providing an
to the constitution so the
state may use it's credit to obtain
,unds to loan to farmers is well on
It's way to final passage. The amend
nent provides that the state shall
not loan money to any individual
other than upon farm real estate
property.
