CREAMERY TO HANDLE EGGS
ers That They Have Superior
Facilities for Keeping Eggs.

Madison.--Because poor eggs have
a tendency to reduce consumption,
the question Of getting eggs on the
market is an important one. An
agency we'll fitted to handle the far
mers' eggs and bring them to the
consumers table in good condition
is the community creamery, accord
ing to James G. Halpin of the uni
versity poultry department, who
spoke at one of the sessions of the
farmers conference here.
"The creamery man is constantly
handling perishable product and
consequently has the facilities for
keeping eggs away from foul air and
bad odors,' said Mr.. Halpin. 1.-THE
average groceryman, on the other
hand, uses practically the same meth
DDS in handling eggs that he does
potatoes, with the result that he
helps large quantities of eggs to
spoil every year. If the housewife
could be certain of securing a uni
form grade of good eggs she would
use them literally, many times, re-
gardless of the price"

STRIKE ON
At STEVENS POINT
PRISONERS REFUSE TO WASH
DISHES AT REQUEST OF
SHERIFF.
BREAD AND WATER SCORNED
Men Confined in Portage County Jail
Prefer Starvation to Dish
Wa%1ing-Sheriff Uses
Drastic Measures.

Stevens Point.-Dirty dishes are pill
ing up at the jail and the two prison
ers assigned to that job by Sheriff
Kubisiak are growing weaker every
day.
The men, Edward Riley and John
Dwallen, were sent to the county Jail
from Amherst, where they were con-
Victed of creating disturbance about
two weeks ago. Soon after they were
brought here they were put to work
on the woodpile and told that the
warmth of their meals and of the jail
depended upon their efforts in reduc-
ing that pile.
Soon one of them contracted rheu-
matism and could do no work and
even though cold meals were sent in
and steam turned off at night the other
soon displayed signs of a physical
breakdown. Taking compassion on
the men, Sheriff Kubisiak relieved
them of that duty and assigned them
20 clean the plates, knives, forks,
spoons and cups and the cooking
utensils.
This they refused to do and when
told they would have to live upon
bread and water until they washed
the dishes, replied that they did not
have to live on bread and water and
threatened to bring their attorney
from Madison.
Since then, three times day their
allowance of bread and a supply of
water have been placed at their dis
oosal by the kindly sheriff, but none
Of it has been touched, the men hav-

The sheriff withdrew and not having

STEVENS POINT NORMAL WINS
Regents Argue That Women's L..

Than at La Crosse.

Madison.-Stevens Point won before
the board of normal school regents in
its fight for the woman's dormitory at
one of the normal schools, overcom-
ing the opposition of La Crosse by a
unanimous vote of the committee and
board. The last legislature provided
for the erection of dormitory build
ing at one of the normal schools and
both La Crosse and Stevens Point
were anxious to secure the advantage.
Stevens Point was favored by the re-
gents because the need at that place
was greater. 1t is expected that the
building will cost about 100000 but
work of construction cannot begin be-
fore March, 1915.
