the tariff issue. with a view 10 elect

a great beneficiary of the Payne

withstanding the long haul to the At

tariff tine competition OF foreign fruits
Is severely felt, and there has been a

GOOD TIME FOR
MAKING CRATES
Convenient ReceptaCleS for Fruit
and Other Farm Products
are Easily Made.
tBy s. b. HARTMANN

Winter days make good time to
nail up crates. whether for fruit or
farm use. Where elm or other good
crate timber is plenty and mill TO
cut it into crate material handy the
timber can be got out at trifing cost
and nailed up when other work is not
pressing
| know Of one man who put in his
spare time making crates of common
lath and (2x4) hardwood. The latter
was cut into triangular pieces with a
rip saw for corners and the lath nailed
to them quite closely together. This
makes a light but not very durable
crate.
Store box material, especially orange
or lemon boxes. can be used for crates
BY cuttiDc handholes in the ends of
the orar q boxes and mailing the
states more firmly. they will make
fairly good crates just as they are; or
the Stats may be knocked Off, the mid
die PARTON taken out and the Stats
sawed to proper length and renailed
to ends, making fairly good crate.
II zinc or tin strips be nailed over
the ends of Stats to prevent nails
drawing out, good light crate win be
made at trifling cost.

over 5000 Students at U. Of w.

The enrolment at the University
Of Wisconsin will exceed that of last
year. At present the indications are
that it will have approximately $500
students in 1914. The number of stu
dents at the last summer session was
2,120 The fall enrolment was 4,432
students.
At the opening of the second semes'
ter III, a drop OF z, entered. During
the year the short agricultural course
and the dairy course contributed
about $50 more students. This gives
a total of 1919 enrolled for the whole
of the year. OF this number, how
ever, about 600 students were enrolled
in both the summer course and the
fall course, and these must be de-
Quoted. This places Wisconsin ahead
Of all the schools in the country, ex-

Shows pIssatIsfaoiion.

The Iowa election shows that the
Democrats are losing strength while
the Republicans are gaining. The
percentage of votes received by Hull
is much greater, compared with the
vote of 1910, than the percentage of
votes received by Vollmer. The re-
suit shows decided trend back to
the Republican party, and inasmuch
as the election was fought on the
tariff issue the conclusion is inevi-
table that the people are not salts
fed with the Democratic position on
the tariff.

Expect Increase In Insurance,


With numerous officials OF coun-
ties, cities and school boards writ
ing to the department of insurance
for information, large increase in in
surance on public property by the
state is anticipated for the year 1914
Under the laws of the state, all
public PROPERTY, state, county, munich
pal and school, can be insured in the
state fund, created for that purpose,
and which has behind 1t the state
treasury as a reserve. The law estab-
fishing such fund was passed In 1903,
and for the first nine years provided
for insurance of state property only
In 1911 the law was amended to in
fclude county and local property as
we'll. and its field of operations great
ly widened. All state property is now
insured in this fund-in fact has
been since 1903. Counties may insure
courthouses. jails, asylums. poor farm
buildings, training schools, etc. cities
ell municipal buildings, and school
boards may insure school houses. The
insurance Of school houses is con-
fined to those located In cities and
villages, for the reason that school
houses in country districts are now
insured in the farmers companies at
cost
At present risks to the amount of
s170638S9.07 are carried by the state,
OF this amount the insurance on
state property is s15,S96.372.57. In this
amount the principal item is one of
s4,130,73O on the state capitol The
insurance on state university build
ings is $3.267732.S6.
So far no cities have come in under
the law, but some 40 cities have cor
responded with the department with
that end in view. Public property may
be insured up to 90 per cent. of its
value. but any amount below that fig
ure may be taken out.
The cost OF annual insurance is go
per cent. of the cost of the same kind
of insurance in regular fire insurance
companies.

The bulk of the Progressive vote in
1912 was personal for Roosevelt, rath-
err than a coherent or persistent vote
for the new party. While the Pro-
gressive party may have future as
political disturbance, It is not likely
to become a continuous constructive
force In politics. The party may ex-
Isl as an agitator. but It is not likely
to become political army waving
