PEAT MARSHES VALUABLE

ton made in the report OF the state
conservation commission sent TO the
legislature. Estimates in the report
Indicate that these marshes may IN
the next half century yield cash re-
turn from $500 to $4,000 an acre.
According to the report of the con-
serFatlon commission about per
cent OF the total area of the state,
comprising nearly 100000 acres,
Is marshy. The investigation shows
that this land may be used for three
purposes. 1t can be drained and used

economic conditions will permit the
marketing of 2,250, 100000 tons of
finished peat, or the land may be sub
merged and used as reservoirs for the
regulation of stream flow.

De used for fuel, the commission has
ascertained that an acre of peat one
loot thick will produce zoo tons of
peat fuel. The compilations made
by the commission indicate that with
IN few years this peat will be sold
at a profit of from so cents to 81
ton. In elaborate tables 1T is fig
ured that, allowing an interest
charge of 8 per cent and holding the
peat the present value of an acre
of peat two feet thick would be $276.
The commission recommends that
the legislature change the present
drainage laws so as to reduce the
unnecessarily great expense now at
tendant upon the organization OF
drainage districts, that the legisla-
ture amend the constitution so that
the state retain che large marshes

FAIR BOARD BILL
BRINGS HOT FIGHT.
ASSEMBlYMAN SPOOR MAKES
STATEMENTS WHICH HE
LATER TAKES BACK
ExTRaVAGANCE IS CHARGED
Provisions for New Managing Body
for Exhibit Are Ordered Engrossed
After Debate BristIihg With Fiery
Speeches.

Madison--After a fiery speech. in
which he roasted former state fair
officials to turn, for sins of omis-
sion and commission, Assemblyman
Newcomb Spoor succeeded in rescu-
ing MS bill for new state fair board
from slaughter. The bill came up
for indefinite postponement, having
been put over on a substitute amend
ment
The assemblyman charged the
state board of agriculture with gross
extravaganza. Former President
George McKerrow, he said, was a
"ieech, in that he had drawn about
$4,000 from the state When call
ed on this proposition by Assembly
man Percy Sawyer, who asked for a
bill of particulars, Mr.. Spoor said
he would take it back"
Assemblyman Henry F. Kruger,
who is a member of the state fair
board, went after Mr.. Spoons state
ments and asked why he did not take
the report of the state board for
1912, instead of basing his charges
on the former years, when there
were conflicts in the boards Ms
Kruger asserted that the woman
lobbyist who was responsible for
the bill, had not made a report as
matron of the state fair hospital, as
required by the rules.
Assemblyman o. F. Roessler sup
ported Mr.. Spoons assertions that
the state fair board had been guilty
of extravaganza. Mr.. Roessler was
formerly a member of the state
board of agriculture. At the end OF
the debate the bill was ordered en-
crossed. 1t provides for a board OF
seven members, of which two shall
be women, to be selected by dele
gates from various agricultural and
horticultural and other societies in
the state. These delegates are to
meet annually in the assembly and
elect members of the state board.

lister noted, was much like her broth
er's.
Come, sis" said Jimmie with
brotherly affection, you shouldn't

accused of sending love tokens to

"Oh, please, Miss Langhorn,"
begged the minister contritely. I'm
really awfuily sorry"
''Well-Fll think about it, She
cast him one glance and turned to
Jimmie. Come brother mine, or we
won't get any. dinner She turned
again to Doctor Davis, Cant you
take dinner with us?'
Under the condition that you will
all come and eat cold turkey with me
after the service tonight. / have q
housekeeper who must be appeased.'
Since Muriel expected to be in Lee
only month before going to the city
to start a concert career, Rev. DR..
Davis lost no time in laying siege to
her heart The minister's decisive
chin denoted that when he knew what
he wanted he went straight for it.
Luckily, they lived in a healthy,

time devoted to counting Since It
was nearing the end of the opera sea-
son, he took Muriel frequently to
that realm of wonderful music
When she sang at concerts in the
city. he was always there to escort
her home and carry her floral trib-
utes. These flowers invariably lent
their sweetness to some humble
dwelling in the village.
Isn't it wonderful to be blessed
with the power to help our fellow
men," Rev. Mr.. Davis voiced this
sentiment one evening as they walked
home through the lanes after having
called to see old Mrs. Gabel, who
didn't get to church often on account
of the distance. Muriel had sung
some of the familiar old hymns for
her until the dear old soul had wept
from sheer happiness.
Yes" returned the girl with tears
not far from her own eyes. II have
wondered lately if all the applause
of a great, clapping audience will
ever bring me one-tenth of the Joy
that the tears in Mrs. Gabers eyes

broad country. Anyway, / shall Of

Muriels gesture swept in the starry
heavens, the moonlit road and the
great arch of trees.
Suddenly the dominic turned and
took her in his arms. You are not
going on any stage! II would take
