OF candidates on the official ballot.
THE fact that the law does not
provide any method Of calling the
first caucus is evidently due to am
oversight on the part of the legisla-
ture and creates some uncertainty
and confusion as to how the first
caucus shall be called. Inasmuch as
no method is provided in the new
law itself for the calling Of the first
caucus, it is apparent that such first
caucus cannot be called under legal
authority.
Mr.. Owen suggests that where
eaucuses have not been held a mum
Der Of electors should circulate a
call for a caucus to be held at a
given time. He says the voters
should be Well notified of the time
Of holding the same.
Thus to make it plain, continues
Mr.. Owen, this year the election
occures Cn April I, The last day for
holding the caucus will be ON March
80 There also seems to be some
INC ertainty as to whether both those
who are nominated by nomination
papers are entitled to positions on
the ballot Upon this subject the
law is plain. The names of those
who are nominated at the caucus
are to be placed ON the official bal
lot
Mr.. Owen says that a candidate
who has been defeated at the caucus
may be nominated by a nomination
paper, if he receives the requisite
number of signers ON a nomination
paper.

GARAGE AND REPAIR WORK

Edw. Kampe, the well known and
efficient automobile specialist has
rented of B. Metzger the brick build
ing on Baker street, heretofore oc-
cupied by Edw. McCrathy as a black
smith shop. This place has been re-
arranged and fitted up for MI
Kampe's purposes. Here he will do
all kinds of repairing and rebuilding
of automobiles, gasoline engines, etc.
If there is any kind of work in this
line that Mr.. Kampe can't do, please
bring it to his shop and he will con-
vince you that he is master of the
situation. He does excellent work
and his prices are reasonable. HE
has already considerable work on
hand but he takes this method OF
extending to automobile and gas
cline engine owners a cordial inU.t-
tation to call at his shop when ever
in need of amy work in his line and
it will be promptly attended to.
Remember the place, Grand Rapids,
Baker street in Metzgeris building,

GREAT SAVING On
STRAWBERRIES
City SeaIer Receives interesting
Facts From Inspector

City Sealer B. Metzger is in receipt
Of a letter from F. P. Downing, chief
inspector for the state department
of weights and measures, which deals
interestingly of the saving that has
been occasioned the people of the
state through the operation of the
law which requires a standard berry
measure.
Mr.. Downing figures that the aver
age berry box sold prior to the en-
aorcement of the berry box law was
Is per cent short of standard meas
We.
The shortage on strawberries due
to boxes smaller than standard size
is figured at $40, 900 quarts valued at
$67,927. In computing these values
the price of the crop was taken rath-
er than the retail price OF the Der
ries If the latter had been taken
the value of the shortage would have
been much greater than the figures
given. Other berries show a short
age in proportion. The total short
age ON all berries was 1,716, 403 quarts
of 101, OPS crates with a value of $119
III. The latter sum, it is contended
was paid by the consumers without
return.
In his instructions to City Sealer
Metzger, the chief insp ector. says:
1T is our desire to show the amount
of saving to the people of Wisconsin
through enforcing the law on bulk
goods, requiring the dealers to give
net weight and allow for the weight
of wrappers, wooden trays, etc. The
average weight of Wrappings should
be obtained by weighing paper ON
your sealer's balance or weighing
number of thicknesses Of wrapping
paper on the Dealers balance and dl-
vidimg by the number of thicknesses

THE CAMP FIRE MOVEMENT

MADISON, Wis, March 13.-About
so women students of the University
of Wisconsin are Camp Fire Girls UNI
der the leadership of Misses Jennie
Koehler and Bessie Piper. Most of
these girls have joined the organiza-
ton for the first time after they
entered the university, and are now
taking up the Camp Fire work en-
Enthusiastically both for the outdoor
life it provides them while students,
and also to prepare them to act as
guardians for groups of younger girls
during the summer vacation and af-
ter they have entered upon their
own life work The majority of the
Camp Fire girls here are preparing
to be teachers, although number
intend to take up playground work in
large cities or to do social Ser

and eleven o'clock of a summer
evening, l stated that I observed a
great many children and young peo-
pie, from, say, 10 or II years of
age up to sixteen or eighteen, out on
streets, around the ice cream stands
and the swing that was in operation
at that time. l saw boys and girls
stroIling together not only in the
streets, but in the alleys or back
streets up to the time when my OBJ
seruations ended.
1 said that I thought parents who
allowed such freedom to their chill
dren should be impressed with a
sense of their responsibility and
that the club, which l was then ad-
dressing, might be of service in the
direction Of assisting in keeping
temptation out of the way of these
young people. l did not say that
found morals exceptionally loose,
especially among the boys and girls
OF tender age. | saw nothing that
would warrant such statement;
but the children were spending their
pennies and nickles foolishly and they
were permitted a degree of freedom
that was attended by serious risks.
Yours very truly

RIDE WITH CARRIERS

Hereafter road commissioners will
be accorded the privilege of riding
with rural caarires for inspection of
roads. The new rule was announced
in the January supplement to the Pos
tai Guide and is aus follows:
''Postmasters at rual delivery Of
fees are instructed to permit road
supervisors or commissioners having
direct charge of the highways over
which rural delivery routes are in OPP
Grafton to ride over the routes with
rural carries when such road officials
are actually engaged i'm the perform
ance of their duties in connection
with the inspection of the roads.
The new rule will be of great ad-
vantage especially to county superin-
tendents of roads who will be enabled
to inspect many miles of roads daily
without going to the expense of
horse or auto hire.

TO AID COUNTRY TEACHERS

MADISON, Wis, March 13.-To aid
country teachers in better adapting
their schools to the needs of their

which they and their children are
Interested By accepting the condi-
TONS and types of farms in each com
munity the department will be better
prepared, when called upon by the
teachers or people of a neighbor-
hood, to assist them in improving
their schools.

operating i'm the production and sale
of their products, the farmers IN
many sections of Wisconsin might,
undoubtedly receive more for their
labor.
There should be cooperation in
community in the production of one
standard commodity OF high quality.
There should be cooperation in the
selling of that commodity in carload
lots and, in some instances, direct
ly to the consumer.
These are a few of the statements
recently made by B. Fl. Hubbard of the
College of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, who has taken
part in cooperative movements car
ried ON in at least two of the most
important of the corn and grain belt
states.
"The first step in successful Co
operation lis taken,'' he said, when
the ldIIltiS I'll ID SNSA ~ ~
produce and comparatively market
some one or more given products
They will then build up reputation
for supplng a continuous quantity
of that or those standard commodities
''In Wisconsin at the present time
there is a great opportunity for I'M
proyement i'm stamdardiZing commun!-
ty products This is especially true
of fruit and potatoes, in which
splendid beginning has already been
made. When the growers of these
products in each community special
ize in one variety, and market moth
ing but high class produce, they Will
receive more money for their la
Dor, and have a greater demand
for their commodities at more than
ordinary market prices.
Highly developed division OF labor
and specialized production have
thaived in other industries, and wild
in agriculture.

People of Grand Rapids had an
unimpaired view of the eclipse OF
the moon Wednesday evening.
1t was the first time in many
months that clear sky and an early
hour enabled all to see an eclipse.
The earth's shadow nearly covered
the moon, and star gaAers from near
ly every home viewed the wonder
with which Columbus once frighten-
ed doubling natives.
The moon entered the shadow at
8:41 o'clock Wednesday evening and
left it at 12:44 o'clock, on Thursday
morning. AT 1912 o'clock more than
nine-tenths of the moons diameter
was in the shadow.

The inquest over the bodies of Miss
Anger and three unidentified men,
who lost their lives in the recent
Saxon boarding house fire near Ash
land brought out the fact that pra-
tically no attempt was made to res
cue those asleep on the second floor
of the building.
All those who escaped from the
building jumped to the ground, and
witnesses testified to men rolling bar
rels of whisky and other intoxica-

the cries of victims ringing in there
ears.
The hearing of Thomas Legender,
who is suspected of having started
the fire, was adjourned until March

cause of so many requests for opin-

today sent an opinion covering opin-

1T was the plain intent ON the

purely nonpartisan election, says Mr..
Owen. 1.-The caucus referred to in
the law is to be a nonpartisan call-
Gus of all the electors of the town
of whatever political affiliations and
it is the nominees of such caucus
that will be entitled to a place, as
caucus nominees, on the official bal
