CATTLE WIN WHAT
THEY WENT AFTER

Assemblyman George Carpenter to-
dayreceived telegram from his son,
Floyd, from Fargo. North Dakota,
stating that Carpenter & Carpenter ha
won the grand championship with the
two year old heifer, Maxwalton Queen.
The Carpenter herd of cattle is on exhi-
bition at the North Dakota state fair
and the news that they had won the
grand championship was most crafty
ing as that is the award they were after.
1t seems that the Carpenter herd was lr
competition with certain herds last year
at the Minnesota and North Dakota
state fairs and when the Baraboo cattle
were awarded the prize there was
little feeling on the part of the losers
and in friendly rivalry the Carpenters
promised to meet them again this year.
From Fargo the Carpenter herd goes
to Grand Forks and from
there to Reedsburg where they will
rest for two weeks, then to Cleve-
land, Ohio. Syracuse, New York, Indi-
annapolis, Milwaukee, La Crosse and
Sedalia, Missouri.

FATHER WANTS
CHILDREN BACK
Excitement in Reedsburg
on Monday--Little Ones
Go To Milwaukee.

There was considerable excitement in
Reedsburg Monday when a Milwaukee
man by the name of Reguse came to
take his children from home in Reeds
burg where they have been living for
the past six months. 1t appears that
Mrs. Reguse died and the little ones
were placed in children's home where
they remained eight months. About
the first of the year Mrs Albert Gade
of Reedsburg took the children to live
with her.
When the father arrived in Reeds
burg the children did not want to go at
first, and there was some dispute be-
tween the man and Mrs. Gade before
they were finally taken. 1t is said that
Reguse is married again and wanted
his children with him.

INTO FENCE
Women are Tossed From The
Machine in Accident on Sank
Prairie MAN Narrowly Is
CaDGS Being Run Down.

A party of tourists had a dangerous
automobile experience at Payne>s cor
ners. Sank Prairie, on Sunday. Inere
were two touring cars in the party and
one of the cars had fallen behind Wnen
the first car arrived at point near the
Maoli farm. On awaiting the arrlVal
of the second car for short time the
nartv in the leading car decided to go
hack and see if they met with an accl-
dent.
While they were attempting to Surn
ar ,nnd the driver backed the car into a
ditch and the engine stopped The
driver then stepped in front OF the car
to crank it, leaving the engine in gear.
AS he turned the engine over the car
ebo+ forward and the man barely es-
canad being run over. He called to a
lar " in the front seat to set the brakes,
Int instead she either opened the throt-
tie or threw the car into high gear.
The machine then shot straight across
the road and headed into woven wire
fence. The women in the machine were
tossed out, but escaped injury. When
the car struck the fence it stopped but
the wheels continued to spin until the
engine was shut off by the driver.
Accidents of this kind occur quite
often. Some time ago man was Kill
led in Chicago; while cranking his
machine it shot forward crushing him
against telephone pole.
The accident on Sank Prairie was
witnessed,by D. A. Payne and family.

the cotton and wheat trades, always
hopes to effect the change with as
little harm to business as possible.
In the wheat trade, it would be advis.
able first to have only federal super
vision, and then, If necessary, the
change might be pushed further, and
federal inspection established.."
Mr.. Helgesen said that so far as he
had been able to learn there was not
the faith in the Minnesota inspection
service among the farmers that there
should be. He asked Mr.. Magnussen
whether it would not still leave the
farmers with this lack of faith if the
grain inspection service of Minnesota
was retained as part of the govern
ment system.
Element of Politics.
Our inspection SERVICE" said Mr..
Magnussen, sis one of the best in the
country, but there is, of course, the
element OF politics in it. 1t is diff
cult to bring about the discharge of
an undesirable inspector because he
brings great influence to bear from
all sources and is often retained. II
congress should provide for federal
supervision of this service. this diff
Guilty would be done away with to a
large extent, and the service would
enjoy the fullest confidence
Mr.. LOTUS letter to Congressman
Relgesen follows:
| want to thank you for the import
ant part you took in the examination
CT Mr.. Magnussen OF the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce. According to
the press reports, Magnussen claimed
that federal supervision would remove
all suspicion that private interests
had control of the state inspection
service. He did not, however, claim
that said supervision would remedy
the existing evil, but he seems to
think that all that is necessary is to
make a change that will result in re-
moving the suspicion.
Now, as a matter of fact, the pro.
ducers get the worst of it under the
present inspection system and GU"
people are united on the proposition
Of wiping out the present system
and substituting therefor federal in
spectiOn.
| would ask that you put forth ev-
cry effort at your command to have
such provision inserted in the Lever
bill. In the event that this commit
tee will extend the hearing until May
10, we will, upon your request, send
some farmers down there to back up
this request.
