M'G0vERN OUT FOR
u. S. SENATORSH|P
CHIEF STATE EXECUTIVE An
NouNcEs HIS CANDIDACY
IN STATEMENT.
OPPOSES PRESENT TARIFF
Governor Declares Present Law HAS
Failed to Reduce Cost of Living
Favors Regulation of Markets.

Madison.-Gov. Francis E. MeGov-
ern has issued a statement formally
announcing his candidacy for the re-
publican nomination as United States
senator from Wisconsin, and his nomi-
nat'on papers are in the field for cir
culation and signatures
The governor in the statement points
10 his official record in lieu of prom
ises or platform declaration. He
says further:
For years l have advocated down
ward revision of the tariff but / do
not approve the present law. Alike in
the. manner in which it was enacted,
its failure to reduce the cost of living
and its harmful effect upon industry
and agriculture in Wisconsin, it seems
to me to be fairly open to serious.
criticism. Unlike it's authors, be-
lieve in a protective tariff, one that.
while discouraging monopoly, will
safeguard the interests of American
producers and consumers by means of
import duties accurately and honestly
adjusted to cover the difference in the
cost of production here and abroad,
and SO tend to equalize conditions of
competition between this country and
other nations. Had the recent revision
been in conformity with these princi-
pies and had it been based upon in
formation furnished by a scientific
non-partisan commission, willing la
Dor would not lack employment as it
does today, the price of farm produce
would not have declined, nor would
the tide of industry here and every
where in the country be at it's present
low ebb.
81 favor reorganization of present
methods of distribution, especially of
food products. How to increase pros
perity on the farm, to reduce the cost
of living and to eliminate trust abuses
are not three problems, but one. Prop
er regulation Of markets so as to-
transfer control of them from the
hands of unconscionable spectators
to the people themselves will go a.
long way toward just and satisfac-
tory solution. BY this means the price
of farm products may be increased
the cost of living reduced and the
business of the retail dealer improved
The problem is the same in state and
nation"
Lieut. Gov. Morris and G. e. Esta-
brook, of Milwaukee, are also avowed
candidates for the United States sena-
torship, which is now held by Isaac.
Stephenson. 1t is possible that Sena-
tor Stephenson may seek renomina-
ton.

Importance Of reforesting such parts
of the national domain as have been
denuded OF their forest growth.
One of the most serious problems
connected with the reforestation OF
treeless areas within the national for
ests is the protection Of newly plant.
ed seeds from the attacks OF mice,
chipmunk, ground squirrels, and other
rodents, whose depredations collective
ly continue the year through. The
extent of this damage may be under
stood by the results OF reforesting
experiment in the Black hills by the
forest service, in which from 80 to 20
per cent OF the seed was destroyed by
chipmunks and mice within six days
after planting. In order to get an
idea Of the abundance OF these ro-
dents, exhaustive trapping on half
acre contained 1000 seed spots was
undertaken. We secured three chip.
munks and II white-footed mice, which
in three days had pilfered 70 per cent.

When You Have No Maid.

There is no reason why the break.
fast should not be partly prepared
the night before. The grapefruit can
be seeded, cut and sugared and placed
on ice, and the potatoes can be peeled
and also placed in a bowl Of water in
the icebox. They will be much better
for having been made ice-cold be-
fore frying. If cereal is to be cooked
that can be done the day before and
for breakfast It can be reheated In a
colander. Biscuit dough may be ready
to bake, though 1t is best to make bak.
Ing powder biscuits fresh, and the
dough for wafiles or cakes can be
prepared beforehand. There is no
easy way to prepare meat cooked for
breakfast, but as It only tales few
minutes to cook bacon, ste Or ham,
this can be done while the grape
fruit and cereal are being eaten.

to make the best of small inn.

which was--and on this the landlord

was soon fast asleep; the other was
not. He could not manage to dodge
the Jumps and heard hour after hour
strike on the church clock, until 3

He did this by violently shaking his

Quick Mender.

Gum tissue will quickly mend three.
cornered rents in trousers, and thin
places in the elbows OF little frocks
may be strengthened with It. Every
mother should know the value OF this
tissue, which makes the neatest sort

with little or no work.
In other ways II is also invaluable
to the home dressmaker; for instance,
when facing a jacket put a strip be-
tween cloth and facing. then press
with a hot iron. It gives a tailored
finish TO a garment.
