EARLY DAYS IN WISCONSIN
Creatures Existing Before History

ners of the CLANS, little creatures,
to be sure, and their shells with
less perfect hinges" than those Of
today, but very much the same III
general appearance. One of the most
interesting groups of animals we
should have met were the cephalo-
pods, ancestors of the beautiful cham
bered nautilus of the South Pacific.
The first of these were very little,
unpretentiOus creatures with small
tube-like shells. The shell was real
ly a house of many rooms arranged
one behind the other, but once hag-
ing moved into a new chamber the
owner never returned to an old one.
And this is the way the house was
built. In early youth the creature
lived in the open end of a short
cone When he grew too large for
his quarters he moved forward in
his tube and built a partition behind
which he could not again penetrate.
In old age this tube of deserted
chambers was long and cumbersome
but he much drag it around through
out life Some of the cephalopods
had shells fully six feet long, and
eight inches in diameter. But the
cephalopods were restless creatures,
and even this great size did not stay
their desire for show. Some of them
made curved shells and grew little
knobs all over the surface. In fact
there was a great variety in the
manner of their characterization. But
when conditions changed they could
not adapt themselves to their new
life, and all persisted except the
simple ones, species that had no or
namentation.

Prepared for the NewS-Budget by
the Geology department at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
While Wisconsin is very near the
heart of the continent it has been
at least partly submerged many
times, and each sea has left it's rec
ord in rocks and their enclosed fos-
sils Extending in broad belt across
the southern half of the state and
reaching northward in long slender
arms along the east and west Dor
ders, such recording beds are every
where at hand. Where the glacial
drift is not too thick great slabs of
stone literally made up of fossils
can often be taken from the lodges,
but again the searcher may often
look for hours before he is reward
ed by finding one of these precious
fragments.
The study Of the different seas
that covered Wisconsin and the diff
ferent life IN eacn-fOr each mao
kinds of animals that were not to
be found in any other-is long and
complicated. Much is even yet to
be learned But if We picture some
of the strange cratures that lived in
each of the seas we may obtain a
glimpse Of what We might have
viewed had all those seas been but
one, or had we lived throughout the
millions of years that elapsed be-
tween the time of the first and the
last inundation of the land.
Some of the creatures in these
ancient seas would have looked ia
miliar to US. There were snails with
shells very similar to the snails we
find today. There were the fore-run-

cheese are of greater moment than
visions of an automobile factory. For
the men of the mines must be fed
and food making must become an
industry. Wild acres must be tanned
with the golden hoof of the sheep
and fortified by the dairy COW.
And the method is simple. More
cleared acres mean more livestock:
more livestock means more ready
money and more ready money means
more cleared acres. Just as a
hundred communities have found
the livestock dollar is a home made
dollar.

LIVE STOCK DOLLARS
IN THE NORTH

BY Roy n. Beebe, Director, Wis.,
consin Live Stock Breeders Assn.
To the small dairymen within a
fifteen mile radius of a Northern
Wisconsin Creamery, was paid in
cash during the year 1914 something
over 1926, 100000 for butter fat.
The average price received by the
patrons averaged three cents above
the New York market and four cents
above Elgin. During the flush of
the season 743 patrons within this
fifteen mile radius found a cash mar
ket for their product, and nearly
six thousand dairy COWS converted
Northern clover into dairy dollars,
unmindful Of the kings war in Eu-
rope and the psychological depres-
sion in the United States.
In this little city of 1900 people,
the merchants discount their bills,
sell many cream separators, measure
values in butter fat pounds, and
shake hands with the travelling
statesmen. Bank deposits are siza-
BILE, mortgages are paid when due,
cash is current, and land values are
high. This is a livestock community,
which thinks in terms of beef, big
horses, tons of clover, silage, hogs,
good roads and better sires.
So Upper Wisconsin is tapping new
wells of wealth by the livestock in
dustry. In clover, the weed, we are
finding riches greater than the tim
Der barons knew. In pure water we
are finding a treasure and in eli
mate an insurance policy of live
stock health.
We are too busy TO PHILOSOPHERS,
but old enough to know that one-half
the history of the greatest livestock
state is in the making. Bankers,
teachers, sheep and cattle men tell
us this, and the North has greater
faith in itself Stories of accomplish
ment take the place of prophecies.
The commercial clubs of the upper
counties find their greatest useful
ness in encouraging the livestock
industry. The butter factory on the
cross road, the livestock market, the
community sire and the price OF

Card of Thanks

| wish to express my thanks to
the young lady who assisted me
while l was attending the picture
show the other evening. Being di-
rectly behind me she read aloud all
the announcements as they were
thrown on the screen and described
the scenes in a loud, clear voice,
and l was much impressed. She, be-
ing tender-hearted and seeing that
was near-sighted, conferred that ia
vor upon me. She is my idea of what
a young lady of Is years ought to
be. She is not one of your Shy
little things who is afraid to speak
out loud 1t was &. vast help to me
because l didn't have TO look at the
screen at all-could talk to my COM
panion and look over the audience
and hear the pictures at the same
time. A gentleman in front of me
seemed to be bothered quite a bit
because he kept turning around, and
finally he got up and left the theater,
notice that it bothered the young
lady who was befriending me, too,
but | assured her he had no refer
ence to her. In order to fully thank
the young lady, and so there may
be no misunderstanding, I will tell
her name. She is Miss Chewgum
Openface, eldest daughter of Mrs.
Gadabout Openface She is to be
commended.

Can there be any stronger proof
offered than the evidence of Lady
smith residents? After you have read
the following, quietly answer the
question.
Mrs T. Kadlec, 511 Eighth St,
Ladysmith, Wis, says: 81 had been
troubled for several months by an
ache in the small of my back, just
over my right kidney. The misery
got so bad some nights that I
couldn't sleep. The kidney secretions
caused me a great deal Of trouble
too, and l often had dizzy spells and
pains in the back of my head. Doan's
Kidney Pills, that l got at Mooney S
Pharmacy, relieved these ailments"
A Later Statement
On December 2, 1918, Mrs. Kadlec
said: Il haven't used Doans Kidney
Pills in a long time for l haven't
needed them. The good results they
brought have lasted. I recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills just as highly as
I did when l gave my former state
ment."

ELECTRIC FIRE HAZARDS

Our records show a fire loss OF
$349, 900 for the last fiscal year, due
to defective electrical work. Elec-
tricity is the best and safest light
when properly installed, and there is
no excuse for this great loss. 1t is
due to ignorance or carelessness OF
the workman and often to wilful
"skinning" of the job. Proper regu-
lation and supervision would remedy
this.
The state insists that a barber
must be examined and qualified to
ply his trade, although We could
easily avoid a poor barber or an I'M
clean shop. The state provides no
qualification for the electrician and
thus unfortunately permits any one
to introduce all sorts of electrical
fire hazards into buildings to cause
much property loss and often loss
of life The average layman is at
the mercy of these sO-called electri-
clans as he does not understand cleo
trical work and cannot guard against
it's great dangers.
In this bulletin We aim to give a
few instructions for the guidance
of all.
MATERIALS. Be sure that APP
proved fixtures, appliances and ap-
proved rubber covered wires are
used, and that the Insulation on your
wiring is perfect at all times.
ENTRANCE. Petticoat insulators
of glass and drip loops should be pro-
vided on the outside at the point Of
entrance, and the wires should en-
ter through porcelain tubes, slanting
upward or through conduit. We rec
ommend the latter.
SERVICE CUTOUT AND SWITCH.
Inside, at an accessible point near
where the wires enter, an approved
service cut-out and switch, in metal
cabinet, should be installed.
FUSES. The service cut-outs and
all branch circuits should be properly
fused. The fuse is the safety valve
of the entire system. Fuses should
never be installed or replaced ex-
cept by competent men.
WIRE FASTENINGS. In concealed
work such as attics and partitions
the wires should be stretched tight
and fastened to porcelain knobs ev-
cry Az feet and there should be a
distance of to 10 inches between
the wires. In open work, as on cell
ings and walls, porcelain cleats may
be used every AZ feet Where wires
are fished down through partitions,
in old buildings, a continuous piece
of loom should be used from the last
porcelain fastening down and through
the wall to the switch or sidelight.
BUSHINGS. Where wires pass
through walls, partitions, floors OF
| IlIlU6GS, they SuOulu ul oSp
arate porcelain tubes, extending clear
through, unless in conduit. Whe1
wires cross pipes, holdings or Other
wires or objects, porcelain tubes OF
loom should be used to keep wires
from contact.
! CONDUIT. Where wires are ex
posed to injury and in damp places
such as easements, it is best to USE
conduit.
JOINTS. All joints should be
soldered and properly tapped.
SOME DON'TS. Do not tampel
with electric wires and apparatus un
less you are an electrician, nor al
low your employees to interfere will
them.
Do not carry lamp cords arount
your premises, unless they are thu

AUTOS IN MIxuP
ON WATER Street
WEDNESDAY evening
Car from Houlehan's Garage,
Gardiner, Sideswipes that Of
W. Wright of Wiscasset, but
Luckily Damage Is Slight

A serious automobile accident was mar
rowly averted at about o'clock wednes-
day morning when two cars collided at
the entrance Of the driveway leading
from Water street to the steamboat
wharf, one of them being a Maxwell

er was a Buick car bearing the 1915 Maine
registry D272 The name of the driver
of this car was not learned but the car
was from the Houlehan garage at Gar
diner.
From what was learned of the mixup
the Buick car was coming onto Water
street from Market square just as the
Maxwell car, which was coming down
Water street, reached the corner of that
street and the square From the wheel
tracks on Water street il appeared that
the driver of the Buick car. on seeing the
other car, undertook to avoid il by turn
ing south on Water street, while the
driver of the Maxwell car apparently
turned down the driveway leading to the
steamboat wharf for the same purpose
but the two cars collided. the Buick car
sideswiping the other. The Maxwell car
ran down the driveway for short dis
lance and was stopped, while the Buick
car went onto the sidewalk on the east
side of Water street at the corner of the
federal building lot.
The driver of the Buick car left the
scene Of the mixup soon after it was
found that no one was injured, and the
extent Of damage to the car was not
learned The damage to the Maxwell car
was slight and consisted of the bending
of the mud guard on the right side Of the
car and the breaking of two spokes from
the right forward wheel Mr.. Wright
drove his car to the Skehan garage,
where il was looked over but as the
damage was slight he soon afterward
started in it with his party for Wis
casset.

FERTILIZER IMPORTA.
TIONS WERE VALUED AT
OVER s3O,OO0,OOO IN 1914

The shortage Of potash salts in the
United States in 1914 was furthur ac-
centuated by the German embargo on
export at the end of January, 1915
In spite Of the Interruptions to the
normal trade in potash salts, the i'm
ports of salts proper in 1914 amounted
to 4s5,S1s, 459 pounds, valued at $s.74s,-
973, according to a statement by W
c. Phalen, just made public by the
United States Geological Survey.
These figures represent a decrease in
quantity and value amounting to q
per cent and 10 per cent, respectively
compared with 1913. These figures
however, do not represent the total
imports Of potash salts. There should
be added the quantity and value Of
kainite and manure salts imported
amounting in 1914 to 482, S67 tons, val
ued at 1887 $50, making a total i'm
portation during the year valued at
s12 III ,56s, compared with $15,241,152 in
1878 decrease amounting to $685.
$50 or approximately 20 per cent
Potash salts constitute only one Of
several fertilizers imported. Bone
dust, calcium cyanamid or lime nitro
gen, guano. basic Stag, and other ma
terials used for manure are also
brought in. The total quantity of
