The hladed grass revives and lives,

BOOST IN RY. Fares
HAS Been DELAYED
Were to Have Been Operative
on March |.
Complaints from All Parts of the.
Country Cause Commission
to Call a Halt.

Just as the western railroads were
in shape to put the q cent fare into
execution in accordance with action
by the interstate commerce commits
sion at Washington; when they had
their tariff sheets in readiness, and
a concerted movement was on to bring
the matter of local fares before the
Legislatures OF the various states,
there comes a halt in the whole pro-
ceeding.
The new rates were to have gone
into effect March 1st, but so many
interests protested against what they
called the injustice of the rates, es--
pecially cities that are located in or
near state lines, that the interstate
commerce commission has ordered
that it be indefinitely suspended
The principal point against the change
was the inequality of fares.
Here are a few instances of the in
equitable rates. Menominee, Mich
found that while located only one
mile further from Milwaukee than is
Marinette, the fare from Menominee
to Milwaukee was about ST. 25 more
than from Marinette, and that a cor
responding difference in favor of
Marinette existed in the rate from
Milwaukee to the two neighboring
cities. And what was true OF
Menominee and Marinette was true of
Prairie du Chen and McGregor, Ia,
and Lacrosse, Wis, and puints In
Minnesota, near Lacrosse, differ
ence of over 81 being made in favor
of Lacrosse on Milwaukee travel and
against the Minnesota cities.
1t is understood that, based ON
these protests, the interstate COM
merce commission determined to have
hearing on the western rate ques-
ton, and therefore directed that the
rate that was to be effective on Mon
day should be suspended until the re-
suit of this investigation could be
had.

ALL AMENDMENTS
MAY BE DISCARDED
important Question to Come
Before Supreme Court.
Method CT Recording Resolutions for
Change in Constitution Held
to he Defective.

The local quarrel at Muscoda, this
county, may be much farther reaching
in its results than was dreamed of in
the widest imagination. 1t culmInat-
ed in the case brought in the courts
to prevent Mr.. Marcus, a local mer-
chant, from holding the office of viii
lage trustee, on the ground that he
had not taken out his second papers
as voter and citizen. The case be-
ing carried up to the supreme court,
that tribunal held that he was entitled
to the office, because the amendment
to the law requiring that second
papers be taken out to entitle persons
to the right of franchise was never
correctly entered upon the journal.
Now it is announced that a re-
hearing of the case will come up in
March, and meanwhile the court will
definitely decide the meaning OF the
word entered.
The law says amendments when
passed must be entered in the journals
of the legislature. In some cases
the action and the vote has been
entered in the journal of one house
and only reference to the action taken
has been spread on the journal of the
other house.
No regular procedure seems to
have been in effect, and if it develops
that by the word entered it was
meant that the action was to be given
in detail in the journals of both
houses, all amendments adopted since
this has been in effect will be thrown

Common Sense.

Longfellow could take a worthless
piece of paper and write poem on it
and make it worth S65, O00-that's
genius. There are some men who
could write few words on a piece
of paper and make it worth $4,000,
600 that's capital. The United
States can take an ounce and a
quarter of gold and make it worth
S2O-that's money. A mechanic can
take material worth So and make it
into watch springs worth $1,000
that's skill. There is a man in
Chicago who can take a fifty cent
piece of canvas, paint picture on it.
and make it worth 81, 000-that's
art. A Greek can take an article
worth 75c and sell it for $1-that' S
business. A woman could purchase
hat for 75c but prefers one worth
$27-that's foolishness. A ditch
digger handles several tons of earth
for ST. a day-that's labor. The
author of this can write a check fol
SO, 100000, but it wouldn't be
worth a dime-that rough. There
are people who will tell you that
other papers are as good as this
that's nerve. Take $1.50 and get q
years subscription to the Herald
that's common sense.

POULTRY PLANTS READY
FOR SCARCITY IN EGGS
There Is an Almost Universal Predic-
ton That Hen Fruit Will
BE Snort Crop.

Because of the prospects of short
egg crop this year, anything that re-
fers to the subject in material wav
is good reading for the man or
woman with hens That farm poultry
plants will be relied upon to produce
more of the states supply of eggs
this year than in previous seasons, is
the prediction now being made by
some well informed poultrymen.
They argue that the rise in grain
prices will fall most heavily upon the
suburban and city fanciers who are
not grain producers and who do not
have at their disposal many of the
by-products consumed by the farm
flock.
To meet the expected demand for
eggs at high prices farmers are being
urged to have their chickens Matched
as early IN the spring as their equip
ment ard conditions will permit,
which in many instances will not be
before the latter part of March or
early April.
For while early-hatched pullets
mean early eggs, it is useless to start
the Matching season too soon, de-
clares John B. Hayes of the poultry
department of the University of Wis
consin. "The pullets which are
kept coming from Matching on wills
be stronger, grow faster, and wilG
have more surplus energy to put
into egg production.

SEVEN EXAMINATIONS
FOR RURAL TEACHERS
Begin at Cuba City and Circle
County.
Another Diploma Examination, Pre-
Iiminary Contests and County
Contest are Coming.

Already announcement is made of
the coming teachers examinations by
the county superintendent of schools.
Because of a change in the law,
which change goes into effect July 1,
these examinations are scheduled
bit earlier than usual.
They will begin at Cuba City, on
Monday and Tuesday, May 10 and
IL. Then the scene will shift to
Fennimore, where the examination
will be held on Wednesday and
Thursday, May II and ID; the busy
week will close with sessions on Fri
day and Saturday at PlatteviIle. But
there are to be more than two we eks
of this drill, and the second week
will start in at Boscobel, where on
Monday and Tuesday, May II and
Is, the candidates living in the north
end of the county will be tried out.
Then Lancaster has two days of it,
followed by two days at Blooming
ton, closing the second week. On
Monday and Tuesday, May "a ard 25,
Cassville will close the chapter. 1t
will be seen by this that seven towns
will entertain teachers examina-
tions, and that all the geographical
sections of the county will have been
accommodated. 1t seems to be pretty
we'll understood that after July i,
teachers and candidates for position
must have at least six weeks of
credits in schools that are devoted TO
making teachers. That is the reason
so many high school students are
doing work in the Platteville Normal.
There will be another diploma
examination in rural schools, on
Monday and Tuesday, April 10 and
20. One like examination was held
few weeks ago, and the office of
the county superintendent has been
struggling with the papers made at
that time, until very recently. This
next examination will present the
only opportunity the rural pupils will
have to pass into high school before
the close of the school year.
1t will be recalled that the rural
schools hold preliminary contests to
determine who shall be eligible to
enter the county contest for prizes
in arithmetic, smelling and penman-
ship. These preliminary contests are
set for Friday, April %. The county
contest will occur at the high school
building, Lancaster, on Saturday,
May /. As this MAY Day" there
may be some frills on the event that
would not otherwise be attached.

The G.. A. k. Post No. 132 and
w. r. G. No. AT, united in celebrat
ing the birthdays of George Washing
ton and Abraham Lincoln, at Post
hall, Feb. 9th, 1915. At the close
of the session of the w. R. c., the
patriotic instructor, Mrs. Lottie c..
Ward, took charge of the program
which consisted of eulogies of Wash
ington and tributes to the martyred
Lincoln. The Post assisted in the
program, reading short articles com
memorating of these two noble men
one the Father, the other the savior
of his country.
Interspersed in the readings were
a piano duet by the Knoble sisters
after which the assembly sung the
Star Spangled Banner. A recitation,

encore, completed the program. After
the singing of America refreshments
were served and social good time
followed. Press Cor.

TO AID THE FARMERS
IN GETTING HIRED HELP
Trying to Bring the JobIess Man and
the ManIess Job Together for
Mutual Advantage.

With the coming of spring there is
a way to relieve the unemployment
situation which has been so pressing
a problem during the winter months.
Throughout the state there are
thousands of farmers who need men
to work their farms. In the cities
there are thousands of men who need
jobs. The state has provided a
medium for bringing together these
two classes in the free enjoyment
bureau. 1t is being urged that
farmers obtain their help through this
agency. Any farmer who wants men
can get as many as he needs by tell
ing his wants to the employment
bureau at Milwaukee. The service is
absolutely free-not cent of ex-
pense TO either the man who offers
the Job or the man who takes it.
The more men working on the farms
this summer, the fewer unemployed
there will be existing in want in the
cities. The farmers can help by
absorbing as much as possible of the
labor supply which is now idle be-
cause of the Industrial depression.
Apply now to the employment
bureau for the men you need. Don't
you farm short handed this summer.
There is no need of it when a postal
card will put you in touch with an
enormous labor supply in the cities,
eager for work
II. j. Beckerle, superintendent of
the employment office at Milwaukee
states that during his trips through
the state he has found that while
farmers are badly in need of help on
the farms, they do not understand
that the employment agency will
furnish them all the help they want
free. All that is necessary is mail
a card or letter to the agency super
intendent at Milwaukee, stating
what you want, and the men will 0e

AN UNUSUAL CASE
IN CIRCUIT court
indemnify Go. Sued for Refusing
to Settle a Case.
A Few Divorces Brought to Hearing
One of which is Dismissed
Two Granted.

Circuit court started with the third
division of it's calendar, on last We'd
nesday. This was the department of
issues of fact for the court to decide,
without reference to jury. In this
are divorce suits, and other cases of
that nature.
On Wednesday divorce suit was
tried. in which Thomas r. Kinsman,
70 years of age, of Platteville, was
defendant, and Mary Kinsman, said
to be 70, was plaintiff. 1t seems
they were married in Dubuque in the
year 1905, but failed to make go
of it. The principal dispute seemed
to be over a division of property.
However, this matter was finally ad-
iusted out of court and the divorce
was granted.
A very unusual case has been start
ed, one of the sort to delight. the
lawyers, for it involves new points of
law. 1t will be recalled that Clyde
Mayhew lost an arm in a zinc mine
near Platteville, and brought a suit
for personal injuries and asked for
damages of $25, 900. 1t is charged
that at the outset Mayhem might have
been settled with for $4, 600 in cash,
but the indemnity company that car
ried the liability insurance for the
mine company refused to make the al
lowance.
Thereupon, the case went to trial,
judgment for $12, 500 damages
was confirmed by the supreme
tribunal. Now the Wisconsin Zine
Co., which was a party to the suit,
and in whose mine it is charged the
accident occurred, has sued the
indemnity company, charging that it
did wrong in refusing to settle with
Mayhem for Sd, ZOO, as it might have
done. This raises new question OF
law, as we'll as a new question of
value of business sagacity.
Whether the indemnity company
did wrong in refusing to settle, and
thereby renders itself liable for the
entire sum of the judgment that was
afterward recovered, -$12, 500, that
is the question. Inasmuch as the
indemnity company was limited IL
its responsibility THAT is. it was not
liable for more than So, 000-it will
be seen that the zinc mining company
got stuck for $500, besides its
share of the costs and expenses of all
the series of trials. And now the
matter is between the mining COM
pany and the foreign corporation
the indemnity company we may
look for battle royal.
Alice Hudson VS.. Jack Hudson, OF
Platteville, a case not on the calen-
dar, was heard last week, and di-
vorce granted on the charge Of cruel
ty. The case of Gertrude Benson VS..
Frank L.. Benson, also from Platte
vile was dismissed. 1t is said the
parties to this action are living to-
gether again and that all is serene.

CAUGHT IN A PULLEY
AND BADLY INJURED
William LorenZ Narrowly Es-
capped Death Thursday.
Cut and Bruised by Machinery in His
Feed Mill and Struck Down
Unconscious.

William Lorenz received painful
and dangerous injuries by being
caught in the machinery at his feed
mill, south of the Lancaster House,
last Thursday, but present indica-
tions are that he will recover.
1t seems he had gone down into the
basement of his mill, between three
and four o'clock in the afternoon,
and IN working around one of the
pulleys on low line shaft, a bolt on
the revolving clutch pulley caught
the sleeve of his sweater, and in less
time than it can be told had so
wound it around the shaft that the
garment was torn from his body. He
had, apparently, also been caught so
strongly that he had himself been
thrown several times around the shsft
and was more or less mutilated by
being struck by the protruding Jugs
on the pulley.
This was such strain upon the
power exerted by the electric motor
that the belt was thrown off, thereby
undoubtedly saving his life.
Mr.. Lorenz was found by his son
within a few minutes after the acct
dent happened, and was unconscious
and bleeding from many wounds upon
his head and arms.
DR.. J. Godfrey was summoned and
under his care the patient is doing
as well as could be expected but he
is not vet entirely out of danger.

marvel in ten years if present methods
are kept up. My house commands a
view for miles around, and from here
can see their daily toll, and they
are everlastingly at it. No idleness
or laziness can be found here. Each
day some path of woodland or brush
has disappeared from the land scape.
Each day new carloads of immigrants
are unloading. They are coming
fast. Each day the covered
wagons are passing by with their
loads of native Missourians, all bound
for Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma. 1t
is strange picture Of the simultane-
Gus depopulation and the repopulation
of vast area, and it is full of human
interest. The influx of northern peo-
pie is driving the natives to the south
and west.

could send you a few breezes from
this southland to temper the severity
of your sale days. Wisconsin is a
good state and prosperous, but it takes
a hardy, rugged people to conquer her
and endure her climate.
