SCHOOL CHILDREN MAKE
AN industrial CENSUS
Figures Compiled in Occnto County
Are interesting and Instruc-
tive--Grant Next.

Inasmuch as there will be no state
census this year, seems as if the
schools, school children, might supply
the gap, especially in industrial
matters. Several counties have
already started the work. Maybe
Grant will get into line
The Wisconsin Bulletin is in
receipt Of a farm census Of Oconto
county taken by the schools under
the direction of the county superin-
tendenJ. 1t is an elaborate census
and we can mention only a few
features. That there are 345 silos
in that northern and new county will
surprise many-but it is no more
surprising than that boy there grew
159 bushels of corn on an acre last
year, and a lot of other children
exceeded 100 bushels. When they
grow such corn as that, why not
silos?
There were 5,O1O acres of potatoes
more than half as much as in the
whole state of Florida as per the U.
S. census.
The farmers of this new county
own 121 automobiles.
Twenty eight farm homes are
lighted with gas and seven with
electric lights-that is getting a good
start on the modern improvements in
country homes campaign
Telephones were found in 853
farm homes and there Will be a lot
more, for the county is growing in
number of farms as well as in wealth.
The cream separators numbered
1, 468, which is somewhat surprising,
but they are needed with the
county's u creameries and SO cheese
factories.
There are lot more good things
in this census, but the above is
enough to show that it is valuable.

Lancaster Is Fourth.

At the district basket ball tourna-
ment, held at Platteville, last week
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Ian
caster was represented by a badly
crippled team. Two Of the boys were
really i'll and there had been little, or
no, drill for week, by reason Of the
physical condition of the players.
But, for all that, the boys put up a
splendid fight and won two of their
four engagements. Then they met
Prairie du Chen, the team that was
generally acknowledged in advance to
be the strongest aggregation in this
district. 1t was then short tale The
second match for the locals to lose was
to Platteville, team that had already
defeated them twice in the prelimi-
naries. With two defeats there was
nothing left for the Lancaster team to
do but to come home.
At the close of the tournament the
standing of the four best teams was:
Prairie du Chen, 1st; Monroe, End;
Platteville, 3, and Lancaster, 4th.
Twelve teams participated, so it is

Are Beer and Milk Affinities?

very quietly at the end. Beer and
milk are OF nearly equal food value
and are produced in the same man
ner," so Dr. Edward Gudeman is re.
ported as saying, at a meeting of
the American Association of Chem
lists.
Now 1t strikes me that nearly
is a pretty big word, used in this
connection. Ii beer and milk we're
of anywhere nearly" equal food
value, either one could nearly" be
substituted for the other. Would a
Brewer try to raise young baby on
beer? Would he be cruel enough to
try to raise calf, colt kitten or
a puppy, on beer? Leaving out of
the question the alcohol it contains,
how can any sensible person claim
that a weak infusion of barley, not
enough in a pint to make a bowl OF
barley Cruel for the weakest invalid
has food value nearly equal to
that of milk?"
Again, if milk be no richer in food
value than beer, " a group Of tired
business men" could sit around and
guZzle milk all the afternoon, gain
ing a good, healthy" color around
the eyes and nose, and a fine, sauer
kraut breath. Did you ever hear
of this being dor e? Yet 'they are
prOduct d in the same manner from
the raw materials" says this adver-
tisement If SO. the cow succeeds
so much better IN preparing her
product JOr human use. that a glass
or two of 1t is fl ng and satisfying;
we have here food of the finest,
for any age OF nditiCn.
Beer enthusiasts are always wOr
rying over the germs" in milk.
(for advertising purpOses), yet you
never heard of one of them starting
a pure milk campaign, did you.

SNOW PILED HIGH.
The Western Blizzard Reached Chi
cagO Early Today.

Chicago, March 5.-The blizzard
that swept portions of the middle west
and southwestern states last night
reached Chicago early today. Accord
ing to officials of the local weather
bureau a heavy snow fall is expected.
Reports from Kansas, Missouri, Ne
braska, Oklahoma and Arkansas told
of a snow fall from four to seventeen
inches.
Traffic throughout Kansas, Ne
braska and western Missouri is report
ed to be seriously affected. In north
ern Nebraska a high wind prevailed
piling the snow in huge drifts which,
in some places, stopped railroad trans
portation.
Telephone and telegraph commua-
ication was seriously hampered out of
Chicago and through the snowbound
districts
Omaha. March 5.-The heaviest
Snowstorm of the winter prevailed
over Nebraska, South Dakota and
Iowa last night and today. The local
weather bureau reported this morn
ing the snowfall here as IA inches,
while much more has fallen farther
west. The temperature has not been
severe and although there has been
some wind and considerable drifting
the railways have been able to keep
their lines open. Trains this morning
were reported from 80 minutes to an
hour late on all roads. Wire COM
munication has been but little af-

CUT FEE TO 3 CENTS.
Oil Companies No Longer Required
to Produce Revenue for Kansas

Kansas departmental fees for the
inspection of oil are reduced from l O
cents to cents a barrel under the
OverfieldTravis bill which has now
passed both house and senate and is
ready for the governors signature or
veto. Supporters of the measure de-
clare it to be necessary to the saving
of the state inspection law under
which for several months oil compa-
MES operating in this state have been
paying the Decent fee under protest
with the avowed purpose of alta cking
it in court if the present legislature
did not make the reduction now pro-
posed.
The higher inspection fee has been
recently declared unconstitutional in
the state of Missouri on the ground
that il has beests used as a revenue
producing measure. Receipts from oil
inspections in Kansas in the past year
have amounted to something like $75,-
600 more than the expenses of the
department. Expense of performing
the policing service of inspection is
all that can be constitutfonally
charged for such service, according to
decisions of courts of appeal. 1t was
on this ground the Missouri law was
set aside. 1t is said the Scent fee will
amply cover expenses of the Kansas
oil department.

NO INHERITANCE TAX,
administration Failed to Pass Bill for
Revenue in State

attempt OF the administra ton to re-
turn 10 the statute books a graduated
inheritance tax law was defea ted late
Ihursday afternoon when the house
voted 90 to 81 to strike out the enact
ing clause of the bill. Republican
members refused to stay in line and
vote TO return the law which was re-
pealed by the Democratic legislature
OF two years ago.
From the very start the bill was
under fire from house members of
both parties. On motion of Martin of
Keno, Republican, the house voted
to strike out the section affecting di-
rect heirs Other amendments cut
down the proposed operation of the
law. linen came a proposition to pay
all inheritance tax fees into the cOun-
ty school fund instead of the general
revenue fund of the state. While this
provision was under consid Grafton it
was moved to strike out the enacting
clause. A rising vote carried So to37.
Tom MoNcey of Atchison, Democrat,
led the general fight against the pro-
visions of the bill. He made an eff
fect1ve speech against the policy of
taxing widows and orphans for their
bereavement and urged the defeat of
the entire measure. Speaker Stone
and Mahurin of Coffey, Democrat
urged reasonable inheritance tax
law. Party lines were not tightly
drawn in the final vote on the bill and
a number of Republicans and Pro-
gressives voted to strike out the enact
ing clause.

Prohibitory Encouragement Measures
Favored by Senate.

The two Price bills providing for
the collection of damages by persons
who suffer PERSONAL injury at the
hands of drunkards passed the senate
last night without opposition. One bill
makes such injury a cause of action
against the owner of property who
knowingly permits the sale of liquor
on his premises. while the other bill
establishes ground for action against
the city officials who connive at the
violation of the prohibitory' laws.
Both measures, while introduced
and endorsed by Senator Francis G.
Price of Clark county, originated in
the office of S. H. Brewster. attorney
general, who hopes to be able to use
them in future enforcement of the

Price Measure Passes Senate-Now Up

The house of representatives will
now be given an opportunity of put
