c.. D. Stout of the high school facul-
ty will be lost to Stoughton the ensuing
school year, unless he should refuse
the offer made him by Waukesha. A
few days ago the principal of those
schools and member of the school
board came to Stoughton for the pur-
pose of investigating Mr.. Stout's de-
partment and when they returned home
they laid the matter before the re-
mainder of the board, with the result
that Mr.. Stout, who is at the head Of
the commercial department, has been
given an opportunity to obtain higher
salary than Stoughton can afford.

PLOTS TO BLOW UP HOME

Attempt to Wreck Former
Employers Residence. 80

Kenosha.-An alleged plot to blow
up with dynamite the home of Jerry
w. DeCou, member of the Kenosha
board of health and general superin-
tendent of the Thomas B. Jeffrey COM
pany, was nipped in the bud and
George Koscak, Croatian, was later
arrested at his home. He was for
merly an employee of the Jeffrey COM
pany and when discharged made
threats. The company employed de-
tectives, to one of whom he is said
to have made proposition for the
destruction of the DeCou house. On
account of fears, Mrs. DeCou and the
children had been sent to a summer
resort and the house had been under
guard of detectives. Dynamite, fuses
and caps were taken from the Koscak
house after his arrest.

USEFULNESS OF THE LARKS
Birds Aid Farmer Greatly in the Con-
sumption of Insects and Their
Larvae, Worms, Etc.

Larks are small, ground-keeping
birds of the family Alaudidae, charac-
terized by small owl-like beaks, long
shanks, and the fact that the claw of
the hind toe is usually greatly length
ened; the wings are usually short, as
alGo is the tail. The normal celebration
is light brown, with darker Longitude
nal streaks, the under parts being
whitish, and the breast frequently spot
ted. There is frequently crest, or
decided blackish marks, about the
head.
Larks dwell in open grassy places,
making their nests on the ground or
among rocks, sometimes deliberately,
and laying spotted eggs. They are
sociable, but hardly gregarious. Some
frequently perch on trees, and most of
them soar while singing, as is we'll
known of the skylark; and the song
of many resembles that of this re-
nowned musician. The food consists
of insects and their larvae, worms,
small seeds, buds, berries, etc. The
flesh of all is considered dainty, and
great numbers are caught annually on
both sides of the Mediterranean to be
sold in the market. The family in
cludes about 100 species, divided
among about dozen genera, of which
only one, Otocorys, with probably but

Madison.-If properly qualified men

extension service, and state leader
of the United States department of

STATE MAY REJECT

ATTY. GEN. OWEN RULES AS TO
SECURITIES TO BE AC-
CEPTED.
REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET
Treasurer johnson Is Upheld in De-
Ginning to Exchange. United States
Bonds for Other Paper.-Must De-
post SO Per Cent of Capital Stock.

Madison-That State Treasurer
Henry Johnson may not surrender
100000 of United States bonds, de-
posted by a trust company as a guar
Entee under the law, and accept in lieu
thereof 100000 in railroad bonds as
approved by the commissioner of bank
ing, is held by Atty.-Gen. Owen in an
opinion.
This ruling, the attorney general
points out, is modification of for
mer one by the department, but he
says that any other view of the law
would permit trust company to de-
post any kind of so-called bonds If
only they have the required approval
of the commissioner of banking.
The law requires that trust com
panies, before they may begin bust
ness, must deposit with the state
treasurer not less than 80 per cent OF
its capital stock, either In cash or
certain kinds of designated securities
to be approved by the commissioner
of banking. But the attorney general
holds that railroad bonds do not come
within the designation; that only
bonds or mortgages, or notes and
mortgages or unincumbered property
within the state worth double the
amount secured, public stocks and
bonds of the United States or of a
state that has not defaulted within
ten years, or of counties, cities, towns
and villages. These, he holds, are the
only classes of securities that may be
accepted by the state treasurer from
trust companies under the law.

PUT A KINK IN HIS PLANS
Awful Contingency Youth Had Not
Foreseen in His Laying Out of
the Future.

Eleven-year-old Tommy has quite
decided opinions as to the duties of
fathers to their little boys. The other
day he was describing to his mother
the sort of father he intends to be
when he grows up.
I'm going to be the best father to
my boys. I'm going to play marbles
with them and baseball and every
thing they want me to and I'll give
them dimes most every day and tell
them they can buy all the ice cream
they want, and I'll get them each a
pony, and well, my boys'll have lots
of fun"
Tommy's mother with a twinkle in
her eye said: But, Tommy, what If
you shouldn't have any little boys,
what If your children are all girls!"
Such possibility never entered
Tommy's head. The suggestion was
appalling. A look of blank dismay
passed over the childs face.
Gee! that would be the dickens!"
he calculated.

Caponizinu Fowls.

The large breeds are best for capon.
izing. A few months old capon is no
better than a cockerel. A capon will
more readily put on fat and get large
and prime after maturity. The object
in caponizing is to secure quality and
size, but quality is the most important.
Age does not impair capon as it does
a cockerel, provided the bird Is not
kept longer than year and a half.
Capons will have to mature before
they can get much finish, and for that
reason they cannot be sold while
young. No poultry meat excels, If any
equals, half grown guinea, split down
the back, broiled and buttered. 1t is
meaty, tender and Of splendid flavor.

DECLINE STATES RISK LAW
About 500 Have Declared Intention
Not to Come Under Workmen's
Compensation Act.

Madison-The state industrial com
mission has received declarations from
about 500 employers of labor that they
will not come under the state work
mems compensation law.
Under an amendment to the law
passed at the last session of the legis-
lature all employers of four or more
persons will automatically come under
the provisions of the act unless they
state that they do not care to come
under it's terms.
Those SO far refusing to come under
operating with little hazard to en-
ployes, or those who are carrying H.
ability insurance, the policies of which
have not yet expired.
The law requires that all employers,
Under the act, shall carry liability in
surance unless specifically exempted
by the industrial commission.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
Chicago and Northwestern, Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis e Omaha and
illinois Central railway companies,
notified the state industrial commits
sion of their determination not to
come under the state workmen's COM
pensation law. The only big railroad
company under the law is the $500"
The principal reason why all of the
large companies do not come under
the compensation law, it is understood,
is because they believe it will cost
them less to remain outside it.
