WILL MODIFY QUARANTINE
Sanitary Board Plans to Control Cat
tie Plague and Restrict Ship
ments From State.

Madison.-The Wisconsin livestock
sanitary board, at conference with
representatives of the federal bureau
OF animal industry here, proposed to
establish two quarantine districts to
control the foot and mouth disease
that the remainder of the state might
be released from federal restrictions
to the extent of allowing shipments
from the state for immediate slaugh-
ter of cattle, sheep and swine. Fed
eral representatives accepted the
proposition and wired the Washington
bureau for approval
One of the proposed quarantine dis
tricts will include the counties in the
southeastern part of the state, Milwau-
kee, Waukesha, Dane, Green, Wal
worth, Racine, Kenosha and Jefferson,
and the other one will include the
counties in the northeastern part of
the state, Lincoln, Langlade, Mari
nette and perhaps several others. If
the federal bureau approves the prop
osition livestock can be shipped from
released districts next week.

La Crosse.-Among the wheels of
industry in Wisconsin that have been
set in motion to supply demands,
mostly for wearing apparel, coming
from the armies of Great Britain and
France, are those of La Crosse and
Onalaska plants, which are getting a
good share of business and have had
inquiries for more which they have
not been able to supply because they
are already running close to capacity
on orders from regular customers.
The Western Spinning mills of On
alaska, five miles north of this city,
have the largest export order from
this country. 1t consists of 125,000
balls of wooden yarn, which will be
knit into 10000 dozen pairs OF hosiery
at Rockford, ILL.,, and Appleton, Wis.
In order to turn out this supply the
plant at Onalaska will be required to
start running nights, beginning next
Monday. When made up the ship

New Richmond. - The question.
What are we going to do for the
girls of the rural schools?" which has
been puzzling Wisconsin educators,
has been solved, at least in part, by
Supt. P. F. Neverman of the New
Richmond public schools.
A great deal has been done for the
boys of the rural districts. They have
had their corn contests, and their
stock-judging contests, and various
other competitions to stimulate their
interest in the farm.
Now, Supt Neverman has planned
something for the girls of the rural
schools of St. Croix county. 1t is to
be a sewing contest, to be countrywide
in scope. A list of six useful, practi-
cal articles will be announced shortly.
These articles the girls will sew and
make up, in and out of school hours,
during the current school year. They
will then exhibit the results of their
handiwork at the county fair to be
held in New Richmond in September,

third places in each of the six classes.
