Grade of Horses in State Greatly Bet
tered by Demands for Registration.

The annual circular of information
of the department of horse breeding
of the college of agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin, will show
that there are nine hundred and
thlrty-tw0 pure bred and seven humid
red and three grade Percheron stall
lions in public service in Wisconsin.
During 1918 one hundred and seventy
two pure bred and one hundred and
eleven grade stations of this popular
breed were enrolled for the first time.
The total number of pure bred stall
Lions having enrolment certificates in
good standing in the state now is 1904,
against a total of 1712 grade and mon
grel or scrub stations. In 1907 the
percentage of the latter undesirable
stations was sixty-fve, compared with
the present percentage of fifty.
By declining to patronize grade and
scrub stations owners of mares may
soon make these sires a negligible
quantity in Wisconsin.
The amended stallion law provides
that the enrolment certificates of these
Pereherons and all other public service
stations shall expire on January first
of each year and must be renewed be-
fore the first day of April following.
The fee for renewal Of a certificates
lis fifty cents.
Another important amendment is to
the effect that all stations previously
certified to as sound by owners af-
tdavits. must be examined and certi-
fed to by legally qualified veterinar-
ians to entitle their enrolment certi-
fcates to renewal.
Grant county is the stronghold of
the pure bred Percheron, with forty
five head. Dane comes next with
thirty nine, Buffalo has thirty-eight,
Iowa thirty-two, Trempealeau thirty
one, st. Croix thirty and Walworth
twenty-nine. Green Lake county has
twelve pure bred and eleven grade
Percheron stations and employs no
other breed for the production of draft
horses. It has been proposed that the
breeders in that county should or.
ganize Percheron breeding society.

Somers Teacher and Stu
dents Routed from Build
ing by Swarm of Bees.
FORCED TO SUSPEND SESSIONS

The Somers school had only been in
session two days last week when H. E.
Sherman, the principal, decided that
there was too much whispering going
on and interrupted "rithmetico les
son long enough to give his pupils a
"call down. -
This buzzing and murmuring must
cease else / will have to use corporal
punishment to enforce order,' said the
pedagogue, when
Bingol He was stung by bee!
The school house was hastily evacuat-
ed by pupils as well as teachers. There
were bees to the right of them, bees
to the left of them, bees ger the head
of them, and bees beneath them.
In the melee that followed large
number of pupils were stung and their
cries caused the residents of the vii
lage to rush schoolward. Investigation
disclosed the fact that during the sum-
mer several colonies of honey bees of
the Italian variety had taken up their
residence in the school building, they
no doubt being devotees of higher edu-
cation and wishing to attend a spelling
bee or something of that kind.
At any rate school was dismissed and
it will be several days before it will
again open. In the meantime men are
at work ripping up part of the floor
and making openings in the walls SO
that the busy little honey bees can be
dislodged from their snug quarters by
the smoke treatment.

Woman Cheese Maker is to
Have Prominent Place at
the Coming State Fair.
PLANNING W0MAN'S EXHIBITS

A woman has put the little village
Of Dundas, population about one humid
red, Calumet county, on the map with
distinction, particularly insofar as the
Wisconsin state fair, to be held at
Milwaukee this week, is concerned.
That woman is Mrs. Emma Schley.
Mrs. schley has personally operated
a cheese factory at Dundas for the
past seven years, and with success that
has drawn attention her way from
among cheese makers. She is said to
be not only the only woman cheese
maker in Calumet county, but one Of
the very few in Wisconsin, and one Of
the few women in the world in charge
Of a standard cheese factory. Further
more she is reputed to be especially
well versed in all modern sciences and
processes in the manufacture of
cheese. When her entries arrived at
State Fair Park the fact that she had
entered competition aroused much in
teresting and favorable comment
among those interested in the cream
cry industry. Mrs. schley asks no
favors, but places her product in COM
petition with the thousands of pounds
of cheese from other parts Of the state
and strictly upon it's merit.
Entries in the dairy department
closed on Tuesday and the judges, N.
w. Hepburn of the Agricultural Col
lege of the University of Illinois;
Prof. G. E. Lee of the Agricultural
College of the University Of Wiscon-
sin and James Sherman of the Agri-
cultural College Of the University of
Wisconsin, Immediately began their
work of testing and making of awards
Mrs. FL. E. Stadler, Milwaukee, who
will have charge Of the woman s rest
department this year, is at the
fair grounds. The woman s rest
building is designed for comfort and
Mrs. Stadler is making it cozy and
home like place. At any time while
the fair is in progress, women may
drop into the large reception room and
enjoy the lounges, easy chairs, pict-
ures and reading matter If any are
i'll or desire private rooms in which
to rest they will be accommodated at
a nominal cost. Medicines and physi-
clans care also are at hand.
A baby checking system has been
arranged and also is in charge Of Mrs
Stadler and her department. If baby
is tired and mother wants to see more
of the fair, all the fond matron needs
to do is to carry the infant to Mrs
Stadler's department where the preci
GUS belonging will be checked fol-
three hours and placed in the care OF
skilled nurses, while the mother con.
tinues to enjoy the sights without a
worry. Mrs. Stadler also will have
charge of the play ground which is
equipped with all modern play con.
trivances.

the way from Kenosha to Waukegan
have complained of the ravages of
chicken thieves. Hundreds of fowls
have been stolen and it has been the
belief of officers at Zion City that these
fowls were sold in Kenosha. Chief
O Hare got out early this morning and
watched johnson dispose of. a large
coop of chickens at one of the Host
markets. He was Immediately taken
into custody. The man claimed that he
lived at Zion City and when he was
asked where he had secured the chick

RAINIER YEAR FOR STATE.
State University Expert Sees Bumper
Crop for Farmers This Year.

OlOP LOT dLM6LS In1S year.
There is every prospect that the
majority Of the farmers of the state
will add this to their already long list
Of banner years.
Thus did James W. Martin, chairman
of the agricultural committee of the
board of regents of the University of
Wisconsin summarize Wisconsin crop
conditions after touring several sec
tions of the state by rail or by MOTOR
car. Mr.. Martin has lived in the state
much Of his lifetime and has helped to
harvest many bumper crops, but can
not recall when conditions, taken as
a whole, were more promising than
they are now and have been for much
of the season.
with but few exceptions, our crop
yields will be considerably above the
average, = declared Mr.. Martin.
Certain of the small grains were
somewhat damaged by the continued
wet weather earlier in the season. In
some sections Of the state clover
fields, kept for seed, proved somewhat
disappointing in that the heads did
not fill
Truck crops, largely due to lack
of labor, are somewhat uneven. The
production Of cabbage, onions, sugar
beets and other similar crops require
the employment of much labor and in
the absence of laborers, yields and
quality suffer.

ARREST ZION CHICKEN THIEF.
Albert johnson Arrested After He Had
Disposed of Coop Full of Fowls.

Albert johnson, who claims to be a
resident of Zion City, was arrested just
after seven O'Clock this morning by
Chief of Police Hare and he is booked
on charges of stealing chickens The
man stoutly maintained his innocence
but he was locked up at the city lock up
and is being held pending further
Investigation. For the past two weeks

johnson is in jail pending the fol-
lowing out Of his suggestion. It is ex-
pected that Captain Walker of the Zion
force will come to Kenosha late this
afternoon and that johnson will be
taken to Zion City for trial.

Spend a Million a Month.

Mr. johnson said that the running ex-
penses of the state institutions and de-
partments are approximately $1,O00,00O
per month, based upon the record of
the year ending June 80, 1913. For the
present year of course the expenses will
be somewhat, if not very materially
greater. These facts appear in the fig
ures shown for the year ending June
13, 1913, when the total expenditures
of the state were $16,S89, 524.74. OF this
amount there was returned to the coun-
ties for one purpose or another $4,191,,
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1913-09-11

096.18, which shows that the actual rum
ming expenses of the state for that pc
Rod were $12,798,428.5S, or little bet
ter than million a month.
Only Million and One-half on Hand.
On Sept. 2 there was in the treasury
little more than $1,500,OoO useable
funds, as follows:
General funds ST, 269, 953 go
University fund -. $500. 93,459.13
School fund ........... 236,990.84
Normal school fund. $50. 6,545I5
Total. ................$ 81, 605, 949.C2
OF course, there are other and nu-
merous small funds, but they are not
available for current expenses. Until
the taxes levied in November are paid
into the treasury, which will be next
February or March, there will be no ap-
preciable addition to these funds, and
it is from them that the expenses of
the government must be paid. It takes
no mathematical prodigy to discern that
at the rate of a million month, a mil
lion and half dollars will last but a
month and a half-then what?
How Reduce Expenses?
Just what can be done when the state
officials and heads Of departments come
together in response to State Treasurer
Johnson's call is not easy to discern.
Of course it will be possible to hold up
all building contracts, and thus save a
large expenditure if those who are il
charge Of building projects can be
brought to view the matter in thai
light. Then, too, it is possible that
expenses in the departments may be
reduced materially even though some
reductions may result in handicapping
the work somewhat.

NO FUNDS FOR STATE BILLS
Failure to Levy State Tax and Increase
in Appropriations and Expenses
Brings the State to the Verge of
Bankruptcy-S Seeking Remedy.

That something must be done to save
the state from bankruptcy which
threatens before the end of the year
is evident from the fact that State
Treasurer Henry johnson today sound
ed note of warning and called
upon the state officials and heads of de-
partments to come together and dis
cuss the situation.
To those who have kept themselves
informed upon the financial condition
of the state this action by the treasurer
is not surprise. In fact, it is but an
echo of previous warning made to the
legislature by the same official when he
gave notice at the time the lawmakers
were in session of what was likely ia
occur unless something was done to
ward off the impending danger. The
legislature, however, failed to heed the
warning and now State Treasurer
Johnson feels called upon to bring those
in authority together to see if some
thing can not be done to at least soften
the situation.
The letter sent by Mr.. Johnson to all
state officials, heads Of departments anc
boards, was as follows:
Treasurer Johnson's Letter.
Dear Sir:-Perhaps it may be of
interest to you and to every depart
ment of the state if at this time
call your attention to the conditions
of the state finances in order that
each department may know. I wish
to state that at the rate we are
paying out money, and except some
method may be devised whereby
we may be able to cut down the ex-
penses or increase our revenue,
there will not be a dollar in the
state treasury by the first of De-
cember either for salary or expens-
es; revenue of any consequence will

/ would suggest that meeting
be called whereat the heads of the
different departments and state in
stitutions be present, SO as to be
able to go into this matter more
fully. This may be an unusual
procedure to pursue, but I believe
you are entitled to know the condi-
tions so as to guard yourself ac-
cordingly.
Spend Million a Month.
Mr. johnson said that the running ex
penses of the state institutions and de
partments are approximately 100000
per month, based upon the record IA

10 Games For Middies.

With schedule of 10 games, which
includes several of the leading college
teams in the East, the Navy baseball
team will have an unusually busy sea
son on the diamond this spring. The
schedule was announced, and it is
likely that a couple more games may
be added. With the dates for tennis
matches. field and track athletics.
races for the rowing crews. lacrosse
games and rife competitions, the
Academy athletes will have enough
to keep them on the go from the latter
part of March until the end of May
The baseball season will get under
way on March 20, the Middies having
the University Of Pennsylvania as the
opposing force on that date. Teams
that have been coming to Annapolis
for years occupy places on this year
schedule. New ones in the list are
Holy Cross, Vermont Colgate and
Metre Dame. None Of these teams has
played at Annapolis in previous years.

ket value of the express company
stocks has steadily decreased. The
stocks OF the four leading companies,

While none of the express stocks
fall within the list of active securi-

been steady ever since the enactment

Want Sps ish War Medals.

Claiming that all members Of the
First and Fifth Regiments of the
Maryland National Guard, as well as
of the Maryland Naval Brigade. who
served during the Spanish-American
conflict are entitled to the war medals
authorized by an act of the General
Assembly of 1906, whether or not they
are now in active service or on the
retired list Of the guard, a committee
of 10 members of the Spanish War
Veterans Association waited upon
Governor Goldsborough. The com
mittee, appointed at a meeting of the
veterans recently held in Baltimore,
consisted OF Herbert E. Swindell, A.
E. Roberts, |. s. Ireton, A. P. Thomp-
son, Clarence Ritter, Wilbur F. Coyle,
Robert Waters, Carter l.. Bowie,
Charles K Schultze and Wilbur S
Thompson. About 25 other veterans
accompanied the committee on the
trip. The association disagrees with
the Interpretation placed upon the
statute by Adjutant-General Macklin,
who held that only those men now on
the active or retired list Of the guard
are entitled to the medals. Under
the ruling Of the Adjutant-General 10
officers and men are to receive the
medals. Those OF the veterans not
within either class designated by the
Adjutant-General contend that it was
the intent Of the Legislature that all
of the men who rendered service in
the war should receive the awards
Governor Colds borough expressed
himself as thoroughly in accord with
the views expressed by the committee
Of veterans Adjutant-General Mack
lin was present during the hearing
and made frank statement, in which
he gave it as his understanding that
the law intended to reward only men
now doing active duty or retired
through the usual course. The Gov
ernor suggested that the veterans
might unite in an effort to secure an
additional appropriation at the com
ing session OF the General Assembly
