STATE FAIR BOAHU
WANT MORE MONEY
CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT NEEDED
FOR MANY IMPROVEMENTS
BEFORE NEXT EXHIBITION.
REORGANIZATION EXPECTED
That Legislature Will Have a Bill
Presented to 1t for Boards
Rehabilitation Deemed
Certain.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the annual
meeting of the state fair board is set
for Feb. 2, at Madison. President
Rewey has called a special meeting
for Milwaukee on Jan. 20, when the
business of the 1914 fair will be closed
up. Secretary ]. G. Mackenzie will
probably make his final report at that
time
That bill will be presented to the
legislature providing complete reor-
ganization of the fair board now seems
a certainty.
An attempt will be made by the fair
board to have the String" released
from the appropriation of $250,000,
made by the last legislature. That
body gave $250,000 to the fair with the
proviso that Milwaukee county should
purchase a piece of land for the fair.
Many improvements are needed be-
fore another fair comes around, the
principal item being for the compile
ton of the concrete grandstand to re-
place the section destroyed by fire
last summer.
New poultry barns are needed and
probably a building for housing the
woman's work department. The cattle
barns and hog and sheep sheds have
proven too small for the last two
years and the board feels that addi-
tons should be provided for these de-
partments in the near future.

UNIVERSITY SURVEY ENDS
Chief investigators Are Discharged

Pages, Covers All Findings.

Madison.-A last the university
survey, in which so much interest has
been manifested throughout the state,

tigators, DR.. w. H. Allen, formerly Of
the bureau of municipal research of
New York, and Dr. E. C. Branson of
the University of North Carolina, have

and recommendation of the state
board of public affairs under whose di-
rection the survey was made, as au-
thoriZed by the legislature of 1913.

SALOON MAY BE RESTAURANT
Can Operate as Such on Sundays as
Public Necessity Without
Violating Law.

Madison.-"A restaurant in a sa-
loon may be kept open for the pur-
pose of furnishing meals to the pub
lie on Sunday" Thisvis the conclu-
sion announced in an official opinion
by Atty Gen. Owen to State Health
Officer c. A. Harper.
1.-THE conducting of a restaurant is
certainly a work of necessity, and it
has been held that the furnishing of
meals to the public is not in viola
tion of the Sunday laws" says the
opinion. "In a recent opinion by this
department it was held that a saloon
which was open on Sunday for the
purpose of selling soft drinks, or
non-intoxicants, was not in violation
OF section 1854 of the statutes, but in
violation of section 1895. To have
a saloon or building open for the
purpose of conducting a restaurant
therein, when no Intoxicating liquors
or soft drinks are sold, is not a vio-
lation OF the Sunday law

PHONE COMPANY MAY FIGHT
Threaten to Carry Protest Against
Physical Come ction Law
to High Court.

La Crosse-According to attorneys
for the Wisconsin Telephone company,
that corporation will carry to the state
supreme court, and IL necessary to
the supreme court of the United
States, it's fight against Wisconsin's
physical connection law.
In a recent decision Judge E. Ray
Stevens of Dane county, upheld the
railroad commission in ordering the
connection of toll lines of the Bell and
La Crosse companies.
He held that the right of the state to
make the order was based on its po-
lice power rather than that of eminent
domain, and that therefore the Bell
people were not entitled to compensa-
ton. The company contends that such
connection is taking property without
due process Of law.

Poor Chinese Business Rule.

1t is an established custom in
China that new company must pay
dividends to it's shareholders from the
first year of it's existence, and this
forms invariably a clause of the
articles of association. Some con-
Germs which fail to realize a profit
have to contract high interest loan
in order to pay dividends in full. 1t
is this practice that compels com
panies to contract loan after loan I'M
til they are plunged into helpless
state. Furthermore, when a new
company is established, it is from the
start tied down to a system of COM
mission paying. In every purchase
as well as in every sale of the com
pany a commission goes with it. which
is therefore counted into every pay
ment and receipt, thus occasioning the
need of an unnecessarily large amount
of capital

STATE DEBT is $2,251, 900
State Treasurer Endorses Bill to Sep
arate Politics From Wis
consin's Finances.

Acknowledging politics with the
states finances is not good invest
ment for the people of Wisconsin, says
State Treasurer Henry Johnson, who
is interested in bill which will be in
troduced in the legislature to prevent
that sort of thing.
Instead of the customary remission
of taxes, Mr.. Johnson believes that
whenever there is a surplus in the
treasury it should be applied in ex-
tinguishing certificates of indebted
ness of the state.
MIR. Johnson says that the states
indebtedness is $2,251,0 900. To remit
taxes and to continue paying a high
rate of interest on this indebtedness,
says Mr.. Johnson, is not good bust
ness.

Varying Gains In Weight.

The average gain in weight varies
much with the season of the year.
From December to May it is fairly uni
form, but low, being 225 to $50
grammes 1t rises rapidly and stead
lily from May to September, during
which month it reaches the maximum
of $50 grammes. 1t falls from Octo-
Der to December, which is the month
showing the smallest gain in weight.
The average gain in weight in Sep
TENDER is almost double that in De-
cember, and there can be little doubt
that gain in weight is, as a rule, ac-
companied with improvement in the
patients health

Monument shone as Ghost.

Use seed dat ghost dar ev'ry night
fob week." declared Henry w.
Locksmith, a local colored man, as
he stood with chattering teeth on
North Hanover street. with his eyes
riveted on white object in Potts
town cemetery. Henry was frightened
sure, and Robert c.. Hawk, a we'll
known printer, to whom he had told
his story, saw. too, the ghostly figure.
Hawk, however, ridiculed the idea
Of such things, and the colored man
became angry, but finally agreed to
accompany him into the cemetery.
The ghost" never moved, and this
caused Locksmith to tote along very
slowly behind. Hawk braced him up
with words of encouragement, and
when they came close to the thing in
white" they found that it was a highly
polished granite monument upon
which the reflection from a distant
arc electric light had played and
made it seem pure white.-Pottstown

were reelected as follows: Secre-
Itary, A. T. Bruhn, Spring Green;
treasurer, T. A. Ubbelohde; direc-
tor, j w. Cross, Milwaukee.
A principal feature of the session
was the adoption of made in Wis
Iconsin" trade mark by seventy-two
cheese makers. A committee will be
chosen to determine on a standard
which all cheese bearing this trade
mark must reach before it can be
sold
Milwaukee.-State licenses for
cheesemakers were advocated by O.
A. Damrow Of Sheboygan Falls, pres
ident of the Wisconsin Cheesemak-
ers' association, in his address at the
opening session of the state conven-
ton held here. Mr.. Damrow asked
that a resolution be passed by the
convention requesting the legislature
TO enact law providing for licenses.
James p. Keenan,, secretary of the
Citizens Business league, in deliver
ing the address of welcome, ex-
planned the need of the cheesemakers
for a large distributing point for
their product. He declared the max
ers would be able to procure a great
er profit by eliminating the middle
man if such central point was
maintained
The exhibit of cheese at this con-
vention was nearly twice as large as
that Of last year, there being $50 en-
tries.
President Damrow said that nearly
5 5 per cent of the total cheese output
in the United States was manufac-
tured in Wisconsin. There are more
than three thousand cheesemakers in
the state.

DEVIL THUMBS" HIS CURSE
East Indian Praises Allah as SURGEONS
Eliminate Cause of His
Ostracism.
Allah be nraisedl

Allah be praised!
Clan Singh is without his devil
thumbs" extra ones that grew upon
his hands. They were taken from him
the other day by Allah, he says. but,
the surgeons in the receiving hospital
say differently, and say 1t in a very
technical and convincing way.
From the time OF his youth in the
village Tuse, district of Ludhiana, Pun.
jab, India. Clan Singh has not found.
favor in the eyes of his relatives, and,
always the little boys with whom he
played reyiled him by calling him
Devil Thumbs"
1t was a malformation of the thumbs
from which he suffered. not an uncom-i
mon thing in the United States, but a.
horrible visitation and curse in India
Never could he be a favored son Of
Allah
When he had chance he came to
America, but his friends took his COM
partnership without grace, and when
an affair of chance was undertaken
by them recently, and they lost, they
cursed Clan Singh roundly, and, by
the custom of their race, spat upon
him.
So great was Clan Singhs distress
that he came to the receiving hos
p1tal, and asked if some deliverance
could not be given him from the
curse he bore. The surgeons re-
marked easily"
The other day Clan Singh and his
friend, Omar, came to the hospital. A
moment for anesthesia, the quick
and tense activity of the surgeons, and
Clan Singh was being wheeled back
to his bed in the ward AS he was
trundled along, he awakened for an
instant. Instantly he held his hands
high, SO he could look upon them.
Thee was the thumb, one thumb on
his right hand. His left was the
same. With sigh, he renewed his
dreams in anesthesia, only to NUT
ter, Allah be praised!"-Los An

but 289 marriages in the county last
year, as compared with 500 in 1913.
Kenosha was formerly a haven for

show that there were but eleven mar
riages of this sort in the city during
