The squeak in shoes is caused by
the inside and outside soles rubbing to-
gether in walking. To overcome this
disagreeable trouble make an opening
at the edge of the inside of the shank
of the shoe and work screwdriver
between the sOles to the tips, thereby
loosening the inner and outer soles.
Then work in a little French chalk,
soapstone or talcum powder through
the opening. By bending the soles
back and forth or slightly tapping the
edges the powder will work itself be-
tween them The opening can then be
closed with one or two lacks, and the
squeaking will be permanently stop
ped. Such an emergency repair is very
much better than the soaking and oil
ing frequently resorted to and yet does
no harm to the shoes provided the job
is done by competent shoe repairer.-

WISCONSIN zinc ore mines have de-
veloped more during the eleven months
since the European war began than in
any similar period in the history OF the
state, according to figures compiled by
the United States geological survey.
When the war started the zinc industry
in the United States had just passed
through a period of great depression,
owing to the new tariff laws which per-
mitted European spelter to be import
ed at a lower cost than it could be pro
duced in the United States. Since the
outbreak of the war prices on zinc
have reached the highest point in the
history of the industry. The entire
European supply, which was being
shipped to America and flooded the
markets of this country, because of the
low tariff, was suddenly cut off and it
was necessary for the zinc companies
in this country to make an enormous
increase in their output.

In A speech recently delivered in New
York, the grape juice advocate and
lover of the dove of peace for a polltl-
cal purpose, took a terrific slam at
Roosevelt because of his war inclina-
tions, which was no doubt justifable-
for Roosevelt is a great warrior with
his mouth, but when he gave William
H. Taft punch because of his peace
sentiments, he did the ex-president
great injustice. The attack was no
doubt inspired because the Taft peace
propaganda was more practical than his
own and was not all wind. 1t is sane
and will attract the attention and sup
port of the best men in this country as
we'll as abroad, for it is sensible and
not speculative. Mr. Taft is giving
President Wilson patriotic support in
his efforts to avoid war and any and all
entanglements with foreign powers,
demonstrating by his acts and speech
that he is above all feelings of anlmos-
ity.-W atertown Leader.

AN INSTANCE of where the child labor
law of Wisconsin is proving hardship
has come to light in Burlington since
the close of school A big, strong boy
had secured position in one of our
factories for the summer at good
wages. Willing to work and hustler,
he commenced work. Then the factory
superintendent asked to see his permit
and this revealed the fact that he lack
ed about a month of being Ia years old.
The boy was told he could not be en-
ployed, and hence was out the steady
employment he expected to have dur
ing vacation. Here is case where the
child labor law is working hardship
instead of a benefit. 1t is far better
that the boys be employed at profit
able labor instead of being idle. We
have too many cases where the parents
are making loafers of their boys be-
cause they do not set them to work
when they are young. - Burlington

Receiver for the BrictsOn Property.

[. O. Brictson, banker, merchant and
owner of nearly two million acres OF
land in Mexico, is in the hands OF a re-
ceiver
The vast holdings Of the Deerfield,
Wis, man are loosening themselves
from possession which he has sought
for wears OF bulldog tenacity to retain.
He has survived litigation extending
over period of ten years to surrender
finally to the memorable demands OF
wars in Mexico.
Sam T. Walker, treasurer OF the
Stondall- Toftoy company, has been
named receiver for Mr.. Brictson's
Dane county holdings by Federal Judge
A. L. Sanborn The Dane county prop
erty is valued at about $50, 900. 1t will
he sold gradually to satisfy friendly de-
mands from creditors. Later, it is be-
lieved, the Mexican properties will be
sold.
The total value of Mr.. Brictson's
property is estimated at between
So, 900, 600 and $4,000 Nearly all
of this is conferred in Mexico where he
owns 100000 acres in what is known
as Hacienda San Jose de Las Rusias,
located about 100 miles south of
Brownsville, Texas, and Is miles north
of Tampico, Mexico. The balance OF
his holdings consists of farms, business
and residence properties in this county.
Mr.. Brictson purchased the Mexican
land about II years ago from direct
descendant of Spanish count who was
an explorer and who obtained the grant
from the king of Spain. In area this
property is nearly twice the size of
Dane county. 1t is nearly square and
runs nearly so miles along the Gulf Of
Mexico and 40 miles inland. About
200, 900 acres are covered with dense
forest of mahogany, ebony and rose
wood The remainder is stock and ag-
ricultural land.
In retaining possession of this props
erty Mr.. Brictson has encountered ex-
citing experiences. Soon after acquir-
ing it the former owner brought action
in the courts and recovered possession.
The history of the property for the en-
suing ten years is written in the lower
and supreme court records of Mexico.
The end of litigation was reached when
Mr.. Brictson won out. He is now in
peaceable possession so far as the title
is concerned. Two of his sons are now
operating the ranch in Mexico.
Before becoming interested in Mex
lean lands, Mr.. Brictson dealt extern
sively in tobacco at ,Deerheld and built
one of the largest tobacco warehouses
in the state. He was president of the
Bank of Deerfeld and interested in
other ventures, some of which accrued
disastrously for him. Some time ago
| he decided all his Dane county property
| in trust for his creditors. = Madison

AN ORGANIZED movement for the
purpose of guide signing the main trav-
eled roads in Wisconsin, under the law
of 1913. which makes it obligatory on
town boards to install an adequate sys-
tenn of direction signs in each town,
has been started by the Wisconsin
Guide Sign association with headquart-
ers at the Wisconsin Hotel in Milwau-
kee. The campaign for better guide
signed roads has been successful In
Racine, Milwaukee, Waukesha, Jeffer-
son and Dodge counties where appro-
priations have been made. In num-
Der of other counties in the southern
part of the state where tourist travel
is heavy during the summer months
the matter will be favorably acted upon
at the June meetings of town boards.
In the counties already at work on the
project steel enameled signs with white
BACKGROUND and Prussian blue letters
four inches high and guaranteed for ~
years have been adopted instead OF the
wooden signs with painted letters which
fall easy prey to the elements IN two
wears. The durable enameled signs
cost less than wooden signs and the
Wisconsin Guide Sign association is ad-
vocating the use of the steel enameled
sign for utility and economical reasons.
Secretary Bart J. Ruddle will furnish
information as to the best method to
be employed in placing signs and Will
attend any meetings called for the pur-
pose of advocating guide signs in any
locality

The People Demand Less Expensive
Government

The opposition to decreased taxation
and simplified state government is max
ing much capital these days for the ad-
ministrationi Every consolidation bill
defeated is solid campaign material for
Governor Philip. He has sought ear
nestly to keep his prediction pledges.
Now he is being thwarted wherever 1t
is possible for the bipartisan comblna-
ton hostile to him to accomplish such
end.
ANY achievement of this reactlonary,
radical element at this time really is
victory for Governor Philip in the fu-
ture. This dog-in- the-manger policy
cannot win. The people of Wisconsin
demand lower taxes and less govern
ment, and they will have them.
Lower taxes we must have, and Will
have. Less government we must have,
and will have. There must be thin
ming of the office-holding phaIanX.
There must be great reduction in OPP
pressive, excessive, costly inspection.
Business men, manufacturers, butter
makers, cheese-make and farmers no
longer will tolerate this repeated and
everlasting inspection of their business
and their premises.
1t was not necessary few years
ago!
1t is just as unnecessary today.
A vast deal of it is the silliest tom
foolery, existing merely to keep people
in office. To all that is superfluOus in
government Governor Philip stands
in pronounced hostility. He has sought
and is seeking to remedy the unwar-
ranted conditions that gradually have
grown up. If he fails, it is but for the
time being.
Not his most sanguine friend ever
expected that he could accomplish all
that he hoped for, all that he desired.
All his advocates, in both parties,
knew perfectly we'll the vast oppOsi-
ton that he would encounter, and that
all the members of all boards, bureaus
and commissions, all the inspectors IN
all the departments would solidify into
one single army of defense. And such
has been the case! 1t was to be ex-
pected, so no one is disappointed.
But there must be a reaction. No
fear of that. We shall have unifica-
ton of educational control. We shall
have less domination and extension of
authority by state taxing agencies.
We shall have an elimination through
out the entire ramifcation of state
government of the superfiuous jobs
that exist. We shall have all these
things realized ultimately. If Govern
or Philip is beaten during these days
in the Legislature, it emphatically is a
defeat for those who now think they
win! Another Legislature is coming
back two years hence, with very di-
rect command from the voters that can
not be misunderstood. Madison Demo

Where Leaders Stand.

There is one Asiatic idea as to the
right place Of the commander in war
fare which is altogether different from
the frigid scientific Japanese principle
Sir Francis Younghusband has told us
that when the British expedition to
Lhasa first met the armed host of the
Tibetans and a fight was provoked,
with consequences disastrous to the
primitive warriors, the lamas protested
against the wickedness of the British
attack. The Tibetans, they insisted,
had never meant resistance, and for
proof they pointed to the presence OF
the leaders with the troops. IT, they
said, any fighting had been intended
all those in authority would OF course
have moved a days march to the rear!

advanced 20 per cent business would

ORGANIZED opposition andobstruction
will be particularly active against the
very important consolidation bill to es-
tablish a Board of Public Welfare. 1t
is easy to see why. This bill to merge
the functions of five largely overlap
ping separate boards and agencies, will
do away with particularly large num-
Der of superfuous salaried functionar-
les and inspectors; and these naturally
will mobilize themselves, their uncles,
their cousins, and their aunts, against
the mOnstrouS proposal to separate
them from public jobs in which. as is
usual in such cases, they think
that theyehave vested interest. 1t
is a special jobholding interest VS.. the
public interest in economy. The last
budget allowance for the several boards
and agencies, which it is proposed to
displace, was 1907, AIS. The investi-
eating committee estimate for the new
consolidation board is $176. 265. And
the committee adds that the main in
direct saving by the consolidation will
be much greater. OF course it is all
at bottom simple business question of
reorganizing a ridiculously overmanned
and waterlogged system in which three
or four or five or six men are hired for
one mans work. 1t is by such meas
ures of reduction and simplification
tia the governor must carry out his
co. ract of saving money for the peo-
pie. If the senate refuses to cooperate,
sides with the job trust, stands pat on
the system, why, of course, the re-
trenchment program goes by the board.

THERE is universal feeling in human
lives that some other man has better
job or an easier time than that which
each individual has to experience. 1t
is largely fallacy, says an exchange,
but nevertheless it is generally held. 1t
has been well said in regard to this
phase of human experience that CIV
cry man thinks that the other mans
job is preferable to his own. He sees
only its pleasant aspects and knows and
can know nothing of the irritating ele-
ments that enter into every vocation.
Each mans problems and cares are I'M
sharably his own, and his courage con-
sists in bearing them alone and hiding
them from the public gaze. There
must be limitations, irritations and de-
privatiOns inseparable from every call
ing, and those we would so gladly
evade are not a whit worse than the
ones we should have to accept if we
exchanged places with another per-
son." There is so much genuine truth
and wholesome philosophy in this re-
Election that it would do great many
of us good if we would absorb it. Our
lives would be more brave and serene.
