YALE CREWS MUCH IMPROVED.
shemeid Pleased with Their Work
Odds on Race Nearly Even.

NEW LONDON, Conn. June 1.-THE
crews rowed better this evening than they
have a: any other time since they arrived
from New Haven" said George ST. John
Sheffield, the veteran Yale oar, who not
only has followed Yales oarsmen's work
each succeeding year but also has camped
with them every season for a score OF
years.
Yales second varsity eight is causing
Coach Guy Nickals considerable worri-
ment The crew does not get together
properly, 20 he decided this evening to
get into the boat himself. X. c. GilfilIen,
tho stroke, remained ashore while the
coach took his oar and stroked the crew
for a few minutes of the boathouse. Then
Glfllen resumed his seat and the crew
was sent two miles down the river.
The first eight varsity followed and
later Coacn Nickalls practtsed them In
racing starts, Stroke Appleton hitting up
a So gait on the getaway.
Betting was not very brisk on the
respective crews thus lar, but Harvard's
Varsity crew is slight favorite Two
weeks ago the betting was 10 to s on
the Crimson varsity eight. But, Yale has
made such a remarkable improvement in
her workmanship and reeled of two VI
expectedly fast four mile trials up and
down stream that her stock has scared TO
such an extent that some OF her admirers
are willing TO risk their money on even
terms II Harvard hackers DIRE not will
ing to give them odds OF 10 to 2.
RED TOP, Conn, June 12.--As the var
sity race Is only a week distant Chanler
now Is conceded to be fixture at
stroke in the Harvard shell All OF the
Harvard oarsmen have added weight since
they arrived from Cambridge a fortnight
ago. The varsity crew averaged lie

shown to be 1892, leading the average
Of the state by 1927. The farms con-

the state. While FIVE or six Wisconsin
counties show slightly higher net re

find any counties of anything like equal

Commissioners Finish Work
OF Investigating Lake Wa
ter in Two Countries.
SEEK FEDERAL LEGISLATION

One Of the most important sanitary
Investigations ever undertaken in
America has practically been concluded
by the international joint. commission,
and in few months legislation prob
ably will be recommended to congress
and to the Canadian parliament looking
to the prevention of water pollution
along two thousand miles of the north
ern international boundary.
The investigation was begun last
spring and has covered the territory
between the head of Lake Superior
and where the ST. Lawrence river
ceases to become the boundary line.
It has taken in hundreds of square
miles in the Great Lakes and the
streams which connect them and has
gone over into the country drained
into the st. Lawrence by the st. ] ohm
river in Maine. Duluth, Sault Ste.
Marie, Detroit, Buffalo, Niagara, Falls,
Rochester in the United States, and
many cities and towns in Canada are
concerned in the investigation and leg
islation which may result. According
to the estimates, between 100000 and
100000 people are interested in the
prevention of water pollution in
this area
While the inquiry has been directed
toward the discovery of sewage and
has not looked to the typhoid baccil-
lus, it is regarded as most important,
since it is not an unWarranted pre-
sumption that in sewage polluted
water germs Of typhoid and other
diseases will be found.
The commission 5 findings will not
be made public for several weeks. 1t
is understood here that they will dis
close conditions along most Of the
two thousand mile stretch that should
be remedied to better health conditions.
1t is probable that the report will
lead to the employment of the best
sanitary engineers and experts on water
pollution in the United States, Canada
and possibly Europe to clean house
along the Great Lakes and the border.
The problem of prevention is SO big
that American members Of the commits
sion confess the best experts in the
world should tackle it,

HAPPY AS CLANS.
Garbage Men Get Lease of Ground For
Dump-Private Business to Continue.


Garbage collectors in Kenosha are as
sured Of a real happy New Year as on
Monday afternoon a lease was signed
up by which the three companies col
lecting garbage in the city have Sc
cured dumping ground on the Craney
property in the town of Somers. They
have taken the lease with the under
standing that so long as the dumping
of the garbage is taken care of in a
manner to eliminate complaints there
will be no competition from tie city.
The three companies have united in the
handling of the dumping grounds and
they will employ force of men to
take care of the garbage at all times.
It is probable that later on the men
will make some provision for dumping
at the same place by private parties
not customers of the company but if
such provision is made the companies
will charge a fee for the use of the
ground. Alderman Hegeman was tickl-
ed this morning and he declared that
he believed that it would not be neces-
sary for the city to take up the work
of collecting the garbage.

New London Politician First
to Announce His Candi-
dacy For Governor.
LAFOLLETTE AID

The rush for the front seats on the
band wagon has started. Following
close on the heels of the announce
ment by G. III. Crownhart that he
would be candidate for the republi-
can nomination for governor comes
statement from former Senator w. II.
Hatton of New London that he will be-
in the field next year for the guberna-
torial nomination on the republican
side.
1t has been known for some time that
Mr.. Hatton has been nibbling tenta-
lively at the governorship and at times
statements have been made that he
might become a candidate, but he had
always fought shy Of any announce
ment of his intentions.
The announcement of his candidacy
comes from Madison, where, it is said,
Mr.. Hattou, in telephone converse
tion with the editor of the State Jour
nal, said definitely that he would be
gubernatorial canlilate.
Mr.. Hatton has been for years
prominently before the people both as
an official and candidate for official
honors. He served one term in the leg
islature and had large part in the
adoption of the act creating the rail-
road rate commission. In 1908 he was
the LaFollette candidate for United
states senator against Senator Isaac
Stephenson, S. A. Cook and Francis
E. McGovern, but came out last in
the race.
Two years ago Mr.. Hatton was APP
pointed by Gov. McGovern as a mem
Der of the newly organized state board
of public affairs and has served on that
board since, devoting a great deal of
his time to the work Of the board. He
is wealthy, a bachelor, about fifty
years of age and has many friends
throughout the state. His announce
ment is taken to mean that he will run
Mr. Crownhart race as the LaFollette
candidate for governor.
The announcements by Messrs.
Crownhart and Hatton are expected to
be followed by others from those who
have been mentioned as possible candi-
dates for the governorship on the re-
publican side, as they can not well per-
nit the two leaders to have the field
to themselves.

HOLD soRG FOR TRIAL.
Wheatland Man Charged With Assault
ing Mrs. VIM. Spetzman Bound Over.

: ferdinand Sorg, arrested week ago
on charge of assault with intent to
do great bodily harm in connection
with an alleged assault on Mrs. William
Spetzman Of New Munster on the see
ond day of last August, was held for
trial at the next term of the municipal
court following preliminary hearing
in the municipal court this morning
Sorg furnished bonds in the sum Of
$1,000 and was released from custody
Sorg did not take the stand in his own
defense and the principal evidence of
tie state was given by Mrs. Spetzman.
She declared that Sorg had entered the
Spetzman saloon on the night the al
legged assault and had choked her. Eff
forts on the part Of the defense to
show intimate relations between Sorg
and Mrs. Spetzman were ruled out by
the court, Many people from New
Munster came to Kenosha to attend
the hearing and it had been limited
that there would be evidence Of a very
spicy nature. None of this developed
and the interest will now abate until
the case is called for trial in January

census was analysed with the result
that the cheap lands Of the upper Wis
consin counties were shown to produce
practically the same results as those of
Illinois and other middle western
states. Large numbers of people are
now coming to the state for land upon
which to make homes.
Recently statements have found
their way into the press of the state
calculated to make it appear that the
farmers were securing very small re-
turns for their labor-one statement
being to the effect that the average
farmer gets but dollar per day and
that skilled laborers in the cities get
two to five dollars. To get at the facts,
this article has been prepared on your

against 81 in Brown county. Your net
return per farm is 1862 against ST.
458 in Brown county. The census shows
the value of farm lands in your county
averages $61.64 and in Brown county
$64.83 per acre. Since then values have
materially risen.
1t would appear from the above that,
with large areas Of cheap lands in the
state, that produce equally good re-
turns, Wisconsin people would do well
to make careful study of the situation
before leaving the state for farming OPP
portunities, and If they make such a
study, they will not leave.
1t has been the aim Of this associa-
ton to call attention to the production
of the older portion of the state as well
as to that of the northern counties
where the cheap lands of the state pre-
vail. When the public comes to realize
the superior productiveness of all por-
tions Of the state, there will be such a
demand for Wisconsin land as we have
never seen nor expected.
