NO REWARD FOR
 PASSENGER PIGEONS

Recent widespread newspaper ac- counts to the effect that the United States Department Of Agriculture is offering $10s00o reward to the person finding a passenger or wood pigeon nest containing two eggs, resulted in hundreds of letters being sent to the Department. The report is not based upon facts as the Department has offered no such reward. and there is every reason to believe the passen- ger pigeon which formerly roamed the country in f1ocks of millions is extinct In 1910 about $1.0oO in re- wards were offered by Clark Univers- ity for the first undisturbed nests of the passenger pigeon to be found in the United States. This was a great stimulus to action. The hunt for this pigeon was fruftless The offer of rewards was renewed for Sew

men. She did not believe that JapanS
 csc women, whose national habits ana customs were different from those of their sisters in England, would iuai- tate their agitations.. Japanese wo- men who were educated and had a sense of duty would refrain from fol- lowing the example of their foreign sisters. She strongly believed, how ever, that women must keep pace with political thought, Japanese women were angry at being prohibited from attending political meetings. Women ought to know how their own country was administered and it was one of the duties of women to cultivate po- 1itical knowledge among themselves. The wife of politician must ad- vance to such a stage in political Knowledge as not only to understand the thoughts of her husband, but to discuss politics with him and Aactual- 1y help him.
 Mrs Kayetsu declared: ~Gener- ally speaking, women are better judges of things than men. Men look at things only from one point or view, and the wife should assist her husband in making his outlook more comprehensive. The help of a. wife need not be confined to household af- fairs When she agrees with her hus- bands political views, she must assist her husband at election tirae.''
 Mrs, Kayetsu did not advocate in discriminate house-to-house canvass ing in elections, with personal ap- peaIs to the sentiment of voters and all the usual lowing and hattery. It was depIorable that some ladies would go to ignorant voters without knowing themselves the condition of the administration of their co,untry, what the political parties were doing, or even the political views of their husbands. The ladies who pesorted to such practices were badlyt repre- sentfng their sex.
 The educator concluded: frWhen visiting a voter in person, the lady should speak of the political views of her husband and ask the elector to vote accordingly. The personal visit should be strictly to an appeal to the inteuigence.''

their popularity to chal1is, which is really very pretty and although much less expensive. comes in almost as many charming designs as taffeta. The lovely toilette shown here has a skirt built in three tiers, each bound with plain taneta, and corsage that is shirred at the front in lieu of, the regulation vest. The V-shapeds neck is finished with a frin of hemstitched linen. through which a silk cord is laced The entire costume requires 6 yards of 44-fnch chalIis
 Because of it's daintiness and indi- viduality the corsage can be made of silk, to be worn with almost any fancy skirt Used independently the design requires l E yards 44-inch or 2N yards S6-inch material. The narrower fabric may be folded in the cutting, but only the rufnes are laid on the lengthwise fold. and they are arranged crosswise of the chalhs.
 The sleeve. which is placed on the goods first, is arranged on a lengthwise thread. This is followed by the piec- ing for the ruff1e, with the back placed opposite the piecing. The front is arr ranged between the ruf1es and the cuff and, like the latter. rests on 1engthwise thread.
 If the corsage is desired pointed at the lower edge cut off lower edges of front and back on single small %" per forations.
 Delightful things are done with rS1f- hes and frills this season, especially in
 finishing the outline of the neck. We shall see more of hemstitched frills combined with bow-knots, shirred cords, string ties. etc, as the season advances. The hchu is also to be reclz- oned with, as it is one of the styles Of grandmother's day that has been re- vfved with positive success.
 The soft, light weight materials such as chalHe, are most attractive for dressy frocks, especially those of the less extreme sort, the softness of the chaIlis allowing width without ths- great flare to which taffeta and sonn4s of the other smart silks tend. O4 course this matter of flare depends largely upon the cut and handling, and even taffeta can be subdued by mod+ crate lines if the designer is determinAA to curb it's audacioas spirit

Tokio, June 15.-The prominence of women in the recent election cam paign. has started a great deal of dis cussion on all sides. Some parlia- mentarfans who are pronouncedly against woman suffrage talked of in troducing a bill prohibiting women from taking part in campaign can vassing. The law already prohibits women from taking active part in political metings or discussions or joining political societies
 Viscount Oura, the minister of the interior, touched upon the women question when summing up in an ad- dress his impressions of the general election. First, said the minister, ab- stentions from polling were fewer than in preceding elections. In the election of 1912, abstentions amounted to 8 per cent. of the voters. The rate in this election came down to 8 per cent. contrary to the expectation that the more rigid control exer rcised by the authorities would increase absten- ton. Secondly. violations of the cleo Der being 4,200 against $500 in the preceding election. Thirdly, there was an alarming increase in the mum Der of women taking part in the campaign. This might be taken as a prelude to women's suffrage, he thought.
 Referring to the suffragettes in England. Viscount Oura said he was astonished when on a, visit to England a few years ago to see with his own eyes the trouble they caused. Any similar agitation in Japan would re- quire most careful coqsideration from the point of view of national charac- ter.
 The absorbing interest in the wo- man question induced the Tokio Asa hi to interview Mrs. Takako Kayet- su, the we1l-known principal of the Tokio Girls Commercial School, who has devoted her life to the education of Japanese women.
 If the home apartment proposed to prevent women from taking part in campaigns it would be too cruel, Mrs. Katetsu said,, to be tolerated by wo-

Dear Miss Llbbey:-
 I am a girl of IS. engaged to a young man of 24- see him every few weeks, get a letter every week. He doesn't appear to respect me when he visits my home Talks and acts fippant. Seems to thing little of women he calls prudes. Intentions are to marry-to give me costly presents then. Why do scorn him? I ask. My parents like him; he seems to them to possess no bad habit. I gave up two engage ments for him, almost sure I loved him. Can I trust this fippant way?' He lives miles apart from our country place. Anxiously advise.
 G. L. M. You could do nothing else but scorn a man who thinks lightly of woman, and wants to be nippant when you expect a pleasant evening of respect from him. You are good and spirited and should waste no time on one who does not love you as he should.

era1 years until it was fully estab ab1ish- ed that the pigeon was extinct
 The passenger pigeon up to 1885 ranged the American continent east of the Rocky Mountains. The mourn ing dove has often been mistaken for the passenger pigeon, which in a gen eral way it resembles However, this bird is-quite distinct from the passenger pigeon; it is shorter and has different color markings
 The press reports stated that the now extinct passenger pigeon was val ued because of it's usefulness in de- stroying the gipsy moth and other moths and pests which are doing millions of dollars of damage. AL though the preservation of this pig con is much, to be desired, it would be of absolutely no value in eliminat- ing the gipsy moth as the pigeons are almost entirely vegetarian in their diet.

CROOKED WORK
JOHN StENSON HAS PECULIAR
EXPERIENCE WITH
BILLBOOK.

John Svenson, the wagonmaker,
thoughtlessly left his billbook lying
on the public desk in the p~ostoffice
lobby Tuesday forenoon of this week.
He stood at the desk preparing his
mail for transport and stepped to the
delivery box and deposited il and
walked out of the lobby leaving his
billbook on the desk. 1t was several
hours before he missed the billbook
when he recalled having left it at the
p~ostofice. A search failed of result
and yesterday he came to The Daily
Leader office to advertise his loss.
Before the paper was issued, however
Mr.. Svenson called at the postofhce
for his afternoon mail and in his box
found his billbook which had been
wrapped and addressed in a scrawl-
ing hand. Investigation of the con-
tents of the billbook showed every
thing intact except SIS in currency
which had been taken by the thief.

CIRCUS COMING
ARRIVAL OF ADVERTISING CAR
OF HAGENBECK-WALLACE
COMPANY.

The advertising car of the Hagen
beck-Wallaee circus company arrived
in the city this morning, attached TO
the south freight. A force of men at
once entered upon the work of bill
posting and by noon the city was red
with flaming posters. The date of
the show in Madison is Thursday,
July 20. This is one of the big shows
of the country, including menagerie
and circus, and travels by special
trains, said to require six engines to
transport their equipment. The date
of appearance in Madison is favorable
for the farmers, and ii is likely the
largest circus crowd will be seen in
Madison on that date since the days
of the Ringing exhibitions in this
city.
The company has bargained with
the city commission to erect their
performing and menagerie tents in
Athletic park, South Egan avenue.
This will be more convenient for the
public than the grounds in the vicin-
ity of the power plant where ~eircuses
are usually located. The horse and
cook tents will be erected on the rail
road right of way.

BABY TORNADO
STORM SOLVES PULLING PROB
LEM FOR WEBSTER
FARMER.

Webster, July 15.-For weeks
William Cass, a farmer living in Nor
ton township, has been puzzled to
know how he could drain an immense
slough on his farm, so he could cut
the hay from the land covered by the
slough. The other day a baby tor
nado visited his farm and accommo-
datingly solved the problem for him
by sucking up practically every drop
of water in the slough. Now he can
go ahead and cut the hay as soon as
the grass has attained the proper
height.
The slough covered three or four
acres and the water was from two to
passed almost directly through the
center of il.
The tornado formed west of the
Ben Fish farm and Antelope lake was
the first place struck by it. 1t threw
much of the water i'm the lake over
adjacent fields. In a dry season this
would have been beneficial to the
growing crops. The twister then pro
eeeded TO the Cass farm, where it re.
claimed the slough.
After completing this good work
the tornado started along a highway
apparently in pursuit of HarbC
Strand, a rural mail carrier. 1t die
not take Strand long TO discover thai
he was being chased by the monster
and for a few minutes the race be
tween the tornado and the fleeing
mail carrier was exciting. Then the
tornado must have come to the con.
clusion that ii could not catch the
mail carrier, for with a final whirl il
leaped into the air and hurried away
to new scenes of excitement.

MADISON CITY Band
MADISON CADET BAND TO START
REHEARSALS FRIDAY NIGHT.

Contributed: With the passing of
the c~hautauqua, so that his attention
can be given to the aspirants for flu
ture musical honors, Mr.. Spears will
start the budding Sousas and Pryors
toward their ultimate goal at 1880 p.
m. Friday, July 16. The younger
band should prove of inestimable
value to the Madison city band, as in
the near future they will supply sew
eral to take the places of those, who
for various reasons, have been
obliged to cancel their membership
in the parent organization. Although
the weather has not allowed the city
band to appear upon the streets for
evening concerts as frequently as we
have desired, we feel that Mr.. Spears
with the cooperation OF the members
has worked wonders, inasmuch as
from a mediocre organization they
have progressed to that extent that
they are now members of absolutely
the best band of any city the size Of
Madison, in the state, and as they
will continue to improve and gain
added strength from the new organiz-
alton, we should have a band worthy
of better support next year. Remem-
