WILL NEED LARGER QUARTERS
Annual Observance of Past Master
Night Draws Large Number of the
Members of the Order Bristol Lodge
Sends Large Delegation.

There was a notable gathering of the
members Of the Masonic order at the
temple on Monday evening when the
annual observance of Past Master IS
night was held and it attracted to the
temple more than a hundred and fifty
members of the Kenosha lodge and
many visitors from other lodges. A
large delegation of members of the
Bristol lodges came in for the evening.
The feature of the gathering was the
fact that the ball was started rolling
to secure the erection Of a new Ma
sonic Temple in Kenosha. For some
time the Masonic bodies in the city
have been growing very rapidly and
the Masonic home at the corner of
Chicago and South streets is beginning
to be too small for the accommodation
of the different organizations. Past
Master Fred Hannahs brought up the
matter of the new temple at the gath
ering on Monday night. He declared
that the present home of the Masons
was just about out of debt and propos-
ed that plans be inaugurated now for
the building of a temple which would
be a credit to the order and little
better than any other building now
built in the city. The proposition was
received with enthusiasm by the mem
bers of the order and it was declared
by the speaker that the plans should
be matured in the next two years.
Past Master S night proved a decided
ly interesting event in the Masonic
calendar The third degree was con
ferred on Albert Wendell Anderson
with Samuel G. Newman acting as wor-
shipful master. In the other chairs
were: Walter ]. Frost, as senior war
den; Charles III. Blood, as junior war
den; William II. Parry, Jr, and Frank
Marx, as deacons; George Wallis and
James S. Barr, as stewards, and Fred
Hannahs as secretary.
After the degrees had been conferred
the members retired to the dining room
where a dinner had been prepared by
the members of the Eastern Star. Gov,
ers were laid for more than a hundred
and fifty and the banqueters completely
filed the large rooms on the first floor
Of the temple After dinner had been
served Walter J. Frost past worshipful
master, was introduced as postmaster.
Short toasts were responded to by
DR.. III. G. Darby, Fred Sherman and E.
E. Wright, all past masters Of the Bris-
toll lodge Past Masters George Wallis.
Fred Hannahs, Frank Marx and Chas.
Blood of Kenosha, G. G. Brown, A.
w. Anderson, S. G. Newman and John
|. Chester, the present worshipful mas
ter. During the evening Past Master
Newman made a strong plea for
change in the designation Of the Keno
sha lodge urging that the members
make an effort to secure the name Of
Southport Lodge No. ~ the desig-
nation of the original lodge of Masons
in Kenosha. 1t is certain that this
matter will be taken up officially by
the lodge in the future and it is pos
sible that the grand lodge of Wiscon-
sin will grant the local Masons a dis
pensation to take the name of the first
lodge established in Southport. This
was one of the first lodges of Masons
to be established in the state

Government crop report for
Wisconsin Shows Year
was Prosperous One.
POTATO CROP SETS RECORD

This has been banner year for
Wisconsin farmers, according to the
crop estimates, and forecasts for the
state as made by the United States

vember report which treats especially
Of corn, tobacco and potatoes, shows
the average for the state to be far
above the average for the entire
country.
The estimated yield of tobacco in
Wisconsin for 1913 is 54,43S,0 900 pounds,
or an increase Of nearly four and half
million pounds over last year. At the
prevailing prices the crop will be worth
over six million dollars to the growers.
The average yield per acre in the state
is estimated at 1920 pounds, an in
crease Of 10 pounds over last year, and
against the average of 785 pounds for
the entire country. The 1913 crop is
of a high quality in this state at 90
per cent against Sc last year and STA
for the entire country this year. The
estimated production for the entire
community is 962,855.0O0 pounds, an
increase Of nearly 60,o0o,OoO pounds
over last year.
The average yield of corn in this
state this season is 1868 bushels per
acre, while the average for the whole
country is but 292 The total yield
for Wisconsin will be 58,262,O00 bush
els and for the country 1924, $4,000, a
decrease of nearly eight million bushels
for the state over last year and an in
crease Of nearly a million bushels for
the country. The quality of the Bad
ger state crop is not quite up to
the national average, the percentage
standing 81 to 85.5.
Potato production for Wisconsin will
amount to 54,438,000 bushels, an in

last year, as against 9o.5 per cent for
the whole country.
The prices Of potatoes to producers in
this state on November 1st is but 81
cents, however, as against 56 cents
last year, while the present average
price to producers throughout the
country at the present time is 45.5
cents showing that market condi-
tions in Wisconsin are not what they
ought to be.
4 Wisconsin producers of wheat are
getting 83 cents bushel; IS cents for
corn; 81 cents for oats; Sc cents for
barley; % cents for butter; $11.7O a
ton for hay; So per hundred for hogs;

CALL TO THE MOOSE
COMES FROM TEDDY
BY BURTON n. sTANDISH
Written for the United Press

Written for the United PressI
WASHINGTON, April 4.-Trumpet
calls of the Bull Moose We're sounded
today to the political herd-the Pro-
greSsives of the next house of repre-
sentatives. The organization in the
house Of distinctive opposition to
both the Democratic and Republican
formations was the principal object of
the conference. Nomination of candi
dates for speaker of the house and 9TH
er officers, and demand for represen-
tatiOn-aS ProgreSSiveS, not as minor
ity members-On the various house
committees was also planned.
Today's conference had the 20. X
.of Colonel Roosevelt, who has insisted
that the party born at Chicago should
retain its identity, regardless Of the
outcome of the November election.
"Conference"-not "caucus''-was the
term applied by the Progrcssives today
10 their meeting, which was q closed
door affair. They expressed diStaSte
for the word caucus, because Of al
legged political iniquities committed in
past political c3uCuses.
TodaY'S conference was designed to
smoke out several half-hearted Pro-
gressives. The simon-pure members
decided some time ago to demand a
showdown from the Republican-pro-
gressive variety by putting squarely up
to all the question of political align
ment. ana demanding that they sever
all connection with the Regular Repub-
lIcan organization. or cease posing as
PrD@re~~iNeS.
Invitations to IA new and veteran
Progressive congressman We're sent out
for today's meeting by Representative
elect William Hinebaugh of Illinois, the
representation from the various states
being as follows: Minnesota, 4: South
Dakota. 1 T: North Dakota. 2: Washing
ton. ?: New York. /; Illinois, 8; Wis
cnnsin. I : Iowa. 6: Idahn /: Kansas.

I'VE are not claiming great numer-
ical strength" said Ilinebaugh. but
we propose to have a distinct party in
the house. We shall demand minority
representation on all committees and
have fair division of time upon the
floor. our plan will be- for The actual
enactment Of Legislation carrying out
the principles ennnci3ted IN the Chi
cagO platform"
lIinchaugh said ne did not expect to
muster more than fifteen or twenty re
cruits to the new Progressive faction
today. but thought more converts
would be secured later. when the ac
tual strength of the new house faction
became apparent.
The PrOgreSSiVeS' candidate for the
speakership is Victor Murdock Of Kan
Sas who was reelected last November
as Republican. MurdocK has prac-
tically consented TO have his name
used, but hesitateS to rclinquish high
post in the house pOstOilice committee,
secured by seniority of service
If Murdock sidesteps the speaker
ship, The PrOgressvcs are prepared to
throw the mantle of leadership upon
Representative Cooper Of Wisconsin,
Representative LenroOt of Wisconsin
or Representative Woods OF Iowa.
The ProgreSSiVeS who cling to the
Republican party are alarmed over the
possibilities Of today's conference.
Many said they would attend merely
TO keep their records straight. and later
Join fhe regular Republican caucus,
some declaring their constituents elect
ed them as progressive Republicans and
not as PrOgresSiveS alone.
Democratic leaders of the house also
viewed with perturbation the confer
ence today. 1t added a veXing feature
to the whole problem of reorganization
in the house. Majority Leader Under
wood will be asked by the ProgressiveS
for full recognition. The Democrats
are inclined to refuse, placing the Re-
publicans and PrOgressives together in
to one single minority" and recOgniz
ing only the committee assignments Of
the leader elected by the majority Of
the double -barreled minority. They de-
clare any three -cOrnered arrangement
would completely disrupt the house
machinery.
BY meeting today the Progressives
stole march on their older opponents,
as the Republicans will not caucus until
next Saturday. The strategic advant-
age was deemed slight, however.

The fact that a railroad company

lnc 1uCI tIldt fdllTOdu CUuipdiS
has paid out money has ceased to be
assurance that it was necessarily paid
OUT. Interlocking directorates may
have led to the making of many con
tracts unnecessarily burdensome TO the
railroads: for on many Of our railroads
mterlocking directorates control large
part of the expenditure.
The firm of ]. p. Morgan y CO. and
other bankers have a monopoly Of sell
mg many railroads the money they
need at rates uf the bankers own ilN-
ing. Directors II the steel trust are
directors nf railroad companies, owning
more than onc-h3lf or the total rail
road mileage in the United States. Di-
reclors OF equipment companies have
places likewise on boards Of railroad
companies. The United states com
missioner Of corporations has shown
how the Standard Oil trust compelled
nearly every railroad in the country to
purchase its oil at eXtortiOnate prices.
Before the railroads can know what
expenditures are needful, the great
step taken in the LaFOllette physical
valuation act must be supplemented by
two others: First. interlocking direc
turateS must be abolished: second, a
federal bureau of railroad costs must
be established, through which the ac-
tual and necessary cost uf operating
each railroad can be determined.
