BEET GROWERS WIN
GAIN EVERY POINT OF CONTENs
TON WITH BUYERS.
Triumph of Sou;h.rn Wisconsin Far
mers Due to Org n.zation-
Viii Receive SIS. so Per Ton.

GAINESVILLE Through organization,
the beet growers OF southern Wiscon-
sin have gained their points with the
various beet sugar factories, obtain
ed contracts as they dictated, and
now the struggle between the differ
eat factories for acreage is on.
Early in the year the beet grow
ers of Racine and Kenosha counties
organized to secure better contracts.
Later the growers in Rock county
did likewise and after a conference
with the owners OF the beet factor
les announced that they would not
grow beets this year unless they re-
ceived $3.50 per ton, delivered at the
weighing stations, the factories to
owners refused
Conference followed conference
and finally the United States Sugar
company, with factories at Madison
and Menomonee Falls, gave special
concessions relative to the weighing
and taring of the beets at the weigh
ing stations and the Rock county as
ISOLATION of growers passed reso-
luton indorsing this contract The
Rock County Sugar company, locat-
ed at GAINESVILLE, has made even bet
ter concessions and viii pay $3.50
per ton for beets delivered prior to
December / at weighing stations,
taring and weighing to be done there,
the buyers to pay the freight. They
also promise the growers an addi-
tional so cents per ton for all beets
delivered if congress does not pass
adverse legislation during the COM
ing session. This move has been met
by the United States Sugar company
and there promises to be a merry
war for beet contracts.

MANY GOOD WINTER SALADS
Even Though Fresh Vegetables Are
Not Available, Numerous Substi-
tutes May Be Found.

Salads should always form an i'm
portant part of the family bill Of fare.
in winter as well as summer. OF
course, in summer the fresh, crisp
vegetables which are best for salads
are more easily obtainable. But there
is one coed old standby we have with
us always, and that is cabbage. Cab
bage salad in the form of cold slaw
can be eaten by almost any one, and
is easily digested, if carefully made.
The cabbage should, first of all, be
crisp and cold; then it should be fine
ly shredded and dressed with plain,
mild dressing
Cooked vegetables also make accept
able salads, especially when used in
combination with raw ones like celery
or lettuce. Vegetables left over from
the preceding meal, as string beans,
peas, tomatoes. beets, etc, are deli
cious in salads, when carefully pre-
pared.

PROTECTION FOR
FROGS IS DECREE
ASSEMBLY PASSES THE SPOOR
Bill PROVIDING FOR A
CLOSED SEASON.
AUTHOR IN ELOQUENT PLEA
Green Lake County Assemb.yman
Calls Attention to the Wholesale
Slaughter Going On to Provide
Oelicacy for Commands Tables.

= Madison Assem- blyman Spoor of
Green Lake county is probably the
flrst lawmaker to grow eloquent over
the humble but active frog. That
Mr. Spoor was convincing as well was
eyinced by the applause given him
by his fellow legislators when he con-
cluded, and the unanimous vote for
his bill which followed.
Mr.. Spoons bill providing for a
closed season for frogs from Nov. 1
until June l, following was up for
engrossment, and there was shown
some disposition to have sport with
the bill.
IF this bill referred to the frogs
in your throat" said Mr. Spoor, cit
might be trifed with But the fact
that there are being shipped out of
this state five carloads a year of
frogs legs, and that all in the mid
die of winter, makes a serious sub
ject of it.
Only last week / found that T.
400 pounds of frog legs had been
shipped FROM Berlin in five days.
Two men took twenty-five gunny-
sacks full of frogs from one spring
hole in my county a few days ago.
And this is not all The brutal meth
DDS pursued in preparing for the
market OF frogs is to be considered.
You should see, as | have, men with
large shears cutting live frogs in two
by the thousands, throwing the front
half on the floor TO struggle until
they die
The frog has nothing harmful
about him: on the contrary he pur-
If1es the waters of our streams and
ponds by the vegetable matter and
insect eggs he consumes. Because
the frogs are being annihilated we
are compelled to use offensive oils
and poisons on our ponds to destroy
the mosquitoes.
We foolishly allowed the passen-
ger pigeon to be ruthlessly destroyed
IN this country Shall we permit the
same wanton destruction of the
frogs?"

STRENGTH
Without Overlooking The Stomach.

The business man, especially, needs
food in the morning that will not over

He can't be alert, with a heavy,
quiring a lot of vital energy in di-

A Calf business man tried to find
some food combination that would not
overload the stomach in the morning,
but that would produce energy.
He writes:
For years I was unable to find
breakfast food that had nutrition
enough to sustain business man with
out overlooking his stomach, causing
indigestion and kindred ailments.
