CHAIR FACTORY is SOLD
One Of the Most Important Manufac-
turing Deals Of Recent Years
Takes Place at sheboygan.

Sheboygan.-One Of the most impor-
tant manufacturing deals in recent
years was contaminated here, when
Thomas Mcneil, secretary and treas
urer of the Sheboygan Chair company,
purchased the George Spratt chair fac
tory. The consideration was not an
nounced, but a recent inventory and
appraisal was approximately 500, 000
With the transfer, Mr.. Spratt, who is
one of the best known chair manufac-
turers of the country, retires to pri-
vate life after years of activity. Mr..
Spratt began the manufacturing bust
ness at Sheboygan Falls in 1871, a
small plant for the manufacture of
hand rakes. In 1891 he turned the
plant into a chair factory.
Thomas McNeill, who purchased the
plant, is one of the pioneer manufac-
turers OF Sheboygan. When a boy he
entered the employ of the old Sheboy-
gan and Fond du Lac railway company
as water boy and was promoted to the
shops and from the shop to the Office.
In 1888 he organized the Sheboygan
Chair company.
The Spratt plant will be under the
management of Mr.. McNeilps son.

MUSIC PAINFUL TO BISMARCK
melodies Cling to M" Said the
Chancellor, "and Find II Diff
cult to Release Myself"

Talking of the arts, Bismarck said:
"Of music am very fond. but now
have to abstain from hearing it, be-
cause tears come only too readily into
my eyes. My heart is stronger than
my head. Indeed, what self-control
have has been bought by experience"
Many instances occurred during our
conversations which gave the truth to
this assertion.
The extreme mobility of his coun-
tenance and the various shades of ex-
preston which passed over it told of a
sensitive, emotional temperament.
But have fire within me still which
burns at times with fury" Upon that
l asked: Are you in reality the Iron
Chancellor?" NO." he said, mot natur-

coroner,s Ancient Nulsancea.

Somebody invented coroners three
centuries before Columbus discov-
cred America. 1t was job of much
distinction and there were no fees at
tached, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
But even when Oliver Cromwell was
a lad, folks in England began to abuse
coroners and call them grafters, or
whatever it was they called folks in
that day who got something for moth
ing. And Blackstone, whose name is
often used as a synonym for common
law, declared that coroners were not
only an unnecessary nuisance but that
they often stood in the way Of justice.
Several states are now trying to
abolish coroners, but progress is slow.
If it were as easy to eradicate AZ old
Office as new one, fear no coroner
would survive the slaughter. When
asked an eminent judge what cor
oners are good for, his reply was:
ITO draw salaries"

Says Annual Report.

Madison.-Tha annual report of.
State Dairy and Food Commissioners
]. L. Emery calls for increased vigil
lance against attempts OF food dealers
to dispose of their products in Wiscon-
sin. Former bad conditions, he said,
have been practically eliminated and
more truthful foods now prevail on the
Wisconsin market. He calls attention
to what he terms are tremendous
forces met in the enactment and en-
forcement of food laws. He also says
the working force of the department
is inadequate for the greatly increased
volume of business imposed on it by
the new laws.
There were 400, 949 tests made under
the weights and measures law from
July 1, 1912, to July 1, 1914, and of this
number 92,14O, or nearly 20 per cent,

sanitation In Country Schools.

Insanitary rural schools result in
physical defects which cause needless
suffering and hardship in later life,
says the United States public health
service, in a bulletin recently issued.
1.-THE necessity of extending to rural
schools the same sanitary advantages
now enjoyed by urban schools is OBJ
lious, declare the investigators. This
neglect of sanitary precautions OBJ
served in rural communities is un-
doubtedly due to lack of sanitary
Knowledge. Instructing the people in
the value of sanitation will naturally
serve 20 make them adopt measures
such as are now in force in cities for
the proper construction and main
tenance of school buildings and the
regular medical inspection of school
children, School hygiene has : great
economic value, in that it serves to
prevent the spread of disease and
makes the children now in the schools
healthier members of the community
and the country at large"

MARRIAGES SHOW
DECREASE IN 1914
REPORTS INDICATE THAT STATE
is HARD HIT BY THE
EUGENIC LAW.
MANY MARRY OUT OF STATE
The Effect of the Law Has Been So
Plain That Resolution Has
Been Adopted to Have 1t
Repealed.

Madison.-Since several members of
the legislature announced their inten-
ton Of introducing bills repeating the
eugenic marriage law several investi-
gators have been busy looking up sta
tisties on this subject
With one exception all reports thus
far received show a big loss in the
number Of marriages performed in the
state in 1914 They have also proved
that never before have there been as
many common law marriage contracts
filed with county clerks as during the
last year.
Some investigators have even gone
so far as to inquire into the number of
marriages performed for Wisconsin
couples across the states borders, and
claim To have figures that will prove
astounding. They do not claim there
has been willful violation OF the law,
but suggest rather that many couples
have started on their honeymoon and
did not marry until after crossing the
state line. One specific case cited was
in La Crosse county, where there was
a big decrease in marriages, while in
Winona county, Mimi, there was a
marked gain.
A few figures received by the regis
tar of vital statistics in the Office Of
the state board of health are available
and show that, with the exception Of
Lincoln county there was a great de-
crease in the number of marriage H.
censes issued the first year the eugen-
les law was in effect. The year previ-
GUS to its adoption there was a gain in
marriages.
The effect of the law on weddings
has been so plain that a resolution was
adopted by the board of supervisors of
Marathon county memorializing the
state legislature to repeal the law, as
did the Winnebago county board. 9th
er boards and societies and organiza-
lions have Joined In this attempt to
obtain the repeal of this law.

BREEDERS WANT DAMAGES
From Government for Epi-
demic Losses.

Observation-Disclosures asking the
government to reimburse Waukesha
county cattle breeders for $4,000 as
return for loss es sustained through the
spread OF the hoof and mouth disease
was adopted at the annual meeting of
the Waukesha County Holstein Breed
ers' association. Another resolution
memoralizes the state legislature to
pass law compelling the interurban
roads in this country to carry perish
able freight, such as milk, cream and
other dairy products
The rel =s or epidemic damages
recites that the federal government
allowed cattle to be shipped to the
Chicago national dairy show after it
was known that cattle already there
were suffering from the disease. All
other cattle breeding associations in
this country and the state have been
asked to support the move.
Charles Will, Lisbon, was elected
president of the association; S. s..
Kramer, Hartland, vice president; Will
liam Baird, Waukesha, secretary; Geo.
Martin, Dousman. treasurer, and
Henry Earl, Eagle, member at large.
DR.. A. E. Behnke. Milwaukee, of the
bureau of animal industry, spoke upon
the foot and mouth disease, saying it
had almost been exterminated from
this state and that the quarantine
would probably be lifted early in Feb
ruary.
In an address on 1.-THE Development
of Dairying," w. S. Baird said the
value of Wisconsin cattle last year was
$10O,000,00 or more than the output
of the gold mines of Colorado, Cali
fornia and Alaska combined.
