BUGS THREATEN POTATOES
University Professor Says Beetles
Will Do Much Damage Unless
Checked at Once.

Madison. steps should
be taken by Wisconsin farmers to
check the ravages of the potato beetle
at once, according to member of the
faculty of the University of Wiscon-
sin, as the hard shelled adult beetles
are now laying their eggs upon the
potato vines. Weather such as that
of last week, with frequent thunder
showers followed by intense heat, in
creases the danger of harluing potato
vines by spraying with paris green,
but If the vines are seriously eaten by
beetles they probably will never get
back to normal condition.
To avoid these difficulties the fol
lowing methods will be used on the
northern demonstration potato fields
under the control of the college of
agriculture of the University of Wis
consin: A4
On small areas. from one TO five
acres the hard shelled beetles will be
hand picked before the eggs are laid
This will lessen the necessity for
paris green later on Small hand
sprayers or atomizers will be used on
these fields to kill the hatch from such
beetles as escape hand picking.
Where reliance must be placed on
spraying with horse sprayers. the
paris green may be used at the rate
of two to three pounds to every fifty
gallons of water.

CHANGE IN DIVORCE LAWS
Senate Concurs in Bill Which Gives
Couples Power to Remarry After
Five Years Separation.

Madison.-A short bill, concurred in
by the senate, will. according to at.
torneys, radically change the divorce
law of the state. Under the present
law after a couple has voluntarily sep
arated for five years they can get a
divorce. Parties who have been di-
vorced from bed and board" can not
remarry during the lifetime of the
other
The bill just past places those di-
vorced from bed and board on the
same plane as those who have volun-
tarily separated, that is, they can OBJ
tain divorce VIII the privilege of re-
marrying after a period OF five years
1t Is stated that attorneys who vii!
advertise literally can in the next two
years, clean up a good sized fortune
from couples who have been divorced
from bed and beard over five years
In fact, it Is suspected the bill eman
ated from this class of attorneys, who

MUST ACT ON iss MEASURES
Number Of Important Bills Await
Disposal by Legislature Before
Session 10 Adjourned.

Madison.-At the close of the ses-
sions before the virtual recess over
the Fourth Of July. there we're 1913
bills still to be acted on by the legis-
lature. OF these the senate has sixty
seven bills and fifty-six asse mbly bills.
The assembly has twenty-five assem-
bly, bills, fifteen senate bills and thir-
ty-five assembly bills which have been
laid on the table. These can be taken
off and acted ON at any time. This
list does not include the water power
bill that will be presented by the spe.
cial committee on conservation, the
new marketing commission bill, or the
university and normal appropriation
bills. Included in the bills laid on the
table in the assembly Is the report of
the special legislative committee on
the location of the state fair. This
will probably be taken off the table
and the majority report adopted. now
that the bill permitting the county
board to secure additional land by the
right of eminent domain has been
passed. Most of the other bills on the
table in that house are minor bills or
bills which were duplicates of others
that had been acted on by the assem-
bly, or were to be acted on,
The senate has by far the largest
number of important bills which must
be acted upon. In the list of impor-
tant measures in the upper house,
which are in different stages of pro
gress, are the Mahon minimum wage
bill for women and children, the Rosa
mothers pension bill, the Wiegle bill
which would reduce the license fees
of life insurance companies. the So
called blue skylaw," the bill relating
to trusts and combines in restraint OF
trade, the bill for'a board of tax re
view for Milwaukee. the Nordman OPP
tometry bill, the Peavey bill to loan
trust funds to northern settlers, the
Manning so-called home rule bill, the
Pfennig glucose bill, the Rosa weights
and measures bill and others.

KEEPS UNIVERSITY

GOVERNOR vEToES BILL PROvlD.
ING FOR AN OFFICIAL
BOARD OF VISITORS.
POWER TO PROBE IS DENIED
Measure Had Endorsement OF High
University Men and Alumni and A.
most Unanimous Support of Legisla-
ture-MeGovern Upholds Regents.

Madison.-Gov. McGovern has sent
veto message to the legislature In
which he gives his reasons for not
signing the Bowe bill providing for
all official board of visitors to the uni
versity.
The bill was drawn by Justice Sic
becker of the Wisconsin supreme
court and had the strong endorsement
OF such university men as Judge E.
Ray Stevens and many others. 1t pro-
vided for board of sixteen, four to
be appointed by the governor. four by
the president of the senate, four by
the speaker of the assembly and four
by the alumni association of the uni
versity, and as near as possible they
were to reside in each congressional
district of the state. The bill gave
powers of investigation and was au-
thorized to make reports to the gov
ernor and legislature.
The governor vetoed the bill on the
ground partly that it gives, in his
opNhioh, 6iCdlCit poWCi hoW PoS'
sessed by the board of regents in so
far as it permits the taking of testi-
mony under oath and other plenary
rights to examine into conditions at
the, university. The bill passed in the
assembly by vote of sixty-seven for
and five against, and in the senate by
unanimous vote, twenty-five sena.
tors voting in favor of the measure.
1t is one of the bills which has been
most vigorously opposed by some OF
the regents as web as by the univer-
slty authorities from its inception. Ita
purpose and design was to create an
official board standing in relationship
to the legislature and executive as
well as to the alumni instead of being
as now, a board merely through its
construction, rejecting the opinions
of the particular regents or university
authorities who had the naming OF
the visitors. Gov. McGovern takes the
view of the regents and the euthori
ties, that an official board, constituted
by the legislature, the executive and
the alumni Is unnecessary.

SALOONS IN EXCESS OF ONE
TO $50 POPULATION.
MAY TRANSFER LOCATIONS
To Fold License Where Number Of
Saloons Exceeds Limit, Keeper Must
Have Been in Business July {, 1907,
or Enter Place Used at That Time.

Madison, Attorney General w. G.
owen, in ten explanatory paragraphs
on the Baker saloon law. has come
to the rescue of councilmen and at
torneys burdened with the task OF
granting licenses under the proyi-
sions OF the new statute.
The problem of granting licenses
in communities in which there wero
saloons in excess of one to every ESQ
Inhabitants in 1907 is explained by
the attorney general
His deductions are as follows:
Cd A person in the saloon busi-
ness July l, 1907, may be continued
to be licensed for such purpose at
the same location.
CD IL the owner of premises re.
fuses to rent the same for saloon
purposes, then the person engaged
in such business at such place JpIy
l, 1907. may be licensed to rur A
saloon at another location.
CD AS long as the owner Of prem.
ises on which saloon was run July
/, 1907, Is willing to rent or himself
use the same for saloon purposes.
the lessee cannot be licensed to run
saloon at location not used for
| saloon purposes July l. 1907,
A. The owner of premises upon
which saloon was run July l, 1907,
N "a Of
ises for saloon purposes, running the
saloon himself or renting it to others.
CD If the saloon was run by a
renter on July /, 1907, and such
renter abandons the saloon business,
the owner of the premises may rent
the same to another who may be
licensed to run saloon at that place.
CD If the owner of a premises
was himself running saloon July
1, 1907, he may drop out Of the bust
ness and lease the premises to an
other who may be licensed to run a
saloon at that location.
Cd He may likewise convey the
premises to another and the business
may be continued by such greater or
the lessee of such grantee.
(S) To entitle person to a saloon
license where the number of saloons
exceeds the ratio limit, he must
either (a) have been in the business
July 1, 1907, and continuously ever
since, or (b) be licensed for a place
used for such purposes July l, 1907.
and continuously ever since.
90 When a location used for sa-
loon purposes July /, 1907, has been
abandoned for such purposes. the
privilege secured to. it by section
| 1860 is forfeited
Likewise, when person in the sa-
loon business July 1, 1907, drops out
of such business. he forfeits the
right secured to him by said section
(10) When a municipality votes

more than one saloon to each $50
population may be licensed.

Cat Entombed in Capitol Walls.

Madison.-Encased within thick
walls of marble and stone, built to last
a century, cat was heard crying for
help in the newly built south wing of
the state capitol. Just before the
walls on the fourth floor were closed
up by the marble settlers, the cat
strayed into the opening and the work,
men set the slabs in place. The cries
of the luckless feline were heard and
the workmen were ordered to remove
