MENU FOR HOT WEATHER
Ideas That viii Save Time When
One Is Not lr Particular Mood
for Working.

On warm days. when ones enthusi-
asm for cooking or baking is on the
wane. the following suggestions may
be of help:
Buy plain cake from the bakers.
Cut it through the long way twice,
making three layers. Then mash two
or three ripe tomatoes or other fresh
fruit and spread on layers. For a
frosting use confectioner's sugar,
mixed with a little water and flavor
ing. Then sprinkle with cocoanut
Or make frosting of sweetened con-
densed milk mixed with melted, un-
sweetened chocolate. This makes a
fair imitation of good homemade
cake
For soup purchase can of tomato
soup. Cook half a cup of rice or bar
ley, mash through sieve and add to
soup. This adds little home taste"
to the concoction.
Then with salad made of crisp
lettuce and cucumbers, olive oil, lemon
juice. served with few sailed pea
nuts or other nuts, one will have an
attractive, satisfying supper that has
required little labor.

eOvernors, Meeting Novembs, 10.


The seventh annual session of
the governors Conference will be
held in Madison November 10 to IA.
These dates were announced Sunday
by Secretary Miles c. Riley BY direc-
ton OF Governors McGovern Of Wis
consin. Ammons OF Colorado and
O'Neil of Alabama, who constitute the
executive committee of the conference.
While the program is not yet ready
for announcement, it is known that
rural credits" uniformity OF safety
ard sanitation laws" and state con.
troll of natural resources" are to be
principal features of the meeting. The
governors OF western states will pre-
sent their case in favor Of state rather
than federal control Of the conserva-
ton programs in the different states.
Secretary Riley predicts large at
tendance. Many new governors are
expected at the meeting. as successors
to thirty-one of the forty-eight COVER
nors will be elected this fall. and but
seventeen of the present incumbents
are seeking reelection. The governors
elect as well as the former governors
and governors in Office are members
of the conference.
Uniformity of state legislation is
absolutely essential TO any program
for effective regulation of either com.
merce or industry" said Secretary
Riley. Otherwise all legislation in
tended to improve working conditions
for those employed in the various in
dustries viii continue to be either de-
feated or emasculated by business in.
terests which claim that under regula.
ton they cannot meet the competition
of concerns in other states which have
less strict or no public supervision.
Many of the states have spent large
sums of money TO secure this uni
formity, but with little success. II
there is to be uniformity it can come
only after conferences of the states.
Naturally. the governors meeting is
in the nature of a conference of the
various state governments, and while
the governors cannot consumate uni
formity of action on any subject.
nevertheless they can accelerate the
movement"
When Justice Hughes was governor
of New York he said in an address be-
fore the governors conference meet
ing in Washington in 1910:
IF it can be deemed necessary that
we should secure greater uniformity OF
state action and better state govern
ment-who shall deny this--it would
be difficult, il not impossible, to sug-
gest any better means for generating
the necessary motive power than may
be supplied through conferences of
governors"
The secretary said that only four of
the outgoing governors we're candi-
dates for the United States senate, and
that one of the four was defeated in
the primaries.
Four days of the coming meeting
will be spent in the city of Madison,
and one in the city OF Milwaukee.
While in Milwaukee, the members of
the conference and their parties will
be the guests of the Chamber of Com
merce. Citizens Business league and
Merchants e. Manufacturers associa

Fair Leaves Balance of $1,000.

After all expenses are paid there
will be balance Of close to five thou,
sand dollars in the Wisconsin state
fair treasury, according to the esti-
mate of Secretary J. C. Mackenzie,
The total cash receipts were $40.
00069, and Mr. Mackenzie estimates
that with the bills receivable the to
tai will be something over $4,000
Last year the receipts were about the
same, though the actual expenses were
$4,000, while the total expenses with
cost of permanent and temporary i'm
provements, amounted to 100000.
The 1914 fair, while much better
cost considerably less. The total ex
penses will not exceed $4,000.
There was an Increase in every de
partment except concessions. The ma
chinery hall brought about $500 more
this year than last. The number OF
machinery exhibits far exceeded those
of 1918, despite the withdrawal of the
three largest exhibitors-the John
Deere, the international Harvester and
the Case companies.
According to the figures Of the trans.
portation companies Milwaukee fur.
nished the greater percentage of at.
tendance at the fair, the railroads and
interurbans claiming to have carried
about 10000 persons in excess of regu.
lar traffic. The roads give the follow.
ing figures: Milwaukee. 5000; North
western, 5000; Chicago & Milwaukee
Electric. $500; Milwaukee Northern.
1000; 500, 500; Milwaukee Electric,
Is, 900, and the Goodrich line. 500
I'VE have got to thank the presE OF
the state for its united cooperation
and the spirit it has shown in boost
ing the 1914 exposition" said Secre-
tary Mackenzie.
'If we have tho united support of
the press and the people Of Milwaukee
and the state next year as we have
had it this year there is absolutely no
doubt as to the future Of the Wiscon-
sin state fair"
A meeting Of the state fair board
will be held in Milwaukee Friday, oc-
tober 2, when the business OF the 1914
fair will be finally adjusted.

$1,000 Women Work in State.

In its investigation of occupations
and conditions of work of women and
children wage-earners of the state dur
ing the last year. the industrial COM
mission inquired into about twenty
thousand schedules of women workers
in $50 establishments, covering % in
dustries in Milwaukee and As smaller
cities. No statistics are yet available
as TO the number of women or children
employed in the various industries, but
a total of $4,000 to $4,000 wage-earn-
ing women employed in the main es-
Establishments in the state represents
approximately the number of women
in some manner affected by any wage
regulations that may be made.

NEW YORK, March %, 1914.
Activity seems to have slackened in
the leaf market. But if current re-
ports are to be accepted as valid, the
slackness would seem to be due not to
diminished demands but to the scarcity
of proper supplies. The market having
anticipated already six months bust
ness in New England leaf, both Ha-
vana seed and shade-grown, and having
become barred long ago of seasoned
binder leaf of every kind and descrip-
ton, ''the tools of the trade" so to
say, are missing for a vigorous upbuild-
ing of business. In addition came the
unsatisfactory news of the Sumatra
market in Amsterdam. If the reports
so far received are to be credited. and
they seem to be testified to by the re-
suit of the first two inscriptions, the
American buyers will not have this
year an altogether sufficient choice of
desirable marks for their home con-
sumption, being embarrassed besides
by higher prices for the limited choice
1t is said that the tobacco does not run
as light as last year and that the sec
ond sizes in particular are deficient in
breadth and yield. AS. our consump-
tion of Sumatra amounted in each of
the past two calendar years to about
thirty-two thousand bales, the pros
poets of smaller importations and of
less liberal yield this year would not
appear to be very encouraging to our
users of Sumatra The old stock on
hand, apparently ample, is hardly like
ly to improve the situation, as the con-
sumers OF Sumatra belonging to the
larger manufacturing concerns must
always keep themselves supplied with
from one to two years stock. If the
coming Inscriptions do not show ma
terlal Improvement the old Sumatra
stock is bound to increase both in de-
mand and in price and the domestic
wrapper leaf is likely to profit also by
this situation. on.-Journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS, April 8, 1914.


The almost impossible condition of
the country roads has pretty effectually
lnterfered with tobacco movements
from the farms during the week.
However, the cheaper end of the crop
for stemming purposes is being sought
after with more vigor than at any time
of the season. At prices ranging from
8 down to 6 cents considerable leaf,
heretofore neglected, has been moved
and the movement now under way is
lidely to clean up the balance of the
crop in short order. The indications
are that very little will be left in
growers hands by the time the seed is
sown for another crop.
The warehouse help is thinning out
as the spring approaches, but there is
work in sight with the larger operators
for several weeks yet The bundle
bulks remain in prime condition for
handling
The market for old leaf reflects of
the nature of the eastern centers,
which is reported dull at this time of
the year.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 400cs for the week to all points
Since last report Is car loads have been
received from outside points for ware
house handling.
