MAYOR AND % WOULD BE
COMMISSIONERS.
PASTOR ENTERS CONTEST
Primary Election Will Be on March

on April 6.

Fond du Lac.-The campaign for
nomination of candidates for mayor
and members of Fond du Laos first
commission, was launched here by the
two thousand committee, which a year
ago successfully conducted the cam
paign for commission government.
Three candidates were eliminated
from the race when those at the meet
ing voted unanimously to support Her
man A. Michler, prominent manufac-
turer. This action followed an agree
ment entered into between Robert
Zinke, w. a. Titus, the Rev. L. P.
Peeke and H. A. Michler to refer their
candidates to a committee of twenty
four representative business men, and
abide by its decision, each pledging
his support to the man named. The
contest for the nomination is now a
three cornered affair, H. A. MichIer
representing the business men and
the 1000 committee against F. w.
Clark, the former mayor, and Robert
Haentze, former president of the coun-
Gil.
Seven candidates have already en-
tered the field for mayor and twenty
three for commissioner. The primary
election will be on March % at which
time two candidates for mayor and
four candidates for commissioner will
be nominated.
The city election will occur on April
S. The mayor will get $4,000 year,
the commissioners $4,000 each.

ried within the twelvemorth. Espe-
cially is this said to be true If the
bridesmaid tucks a four-leaf clover
in her bodice unknown to anyone, as
she sets forth for the altar. In the
dancing and feasting that follow,
though there be hundreds of pretty
girls as guests, all the eligible young
men are eager to dance with the pref
ty bridesmaids, just for luck. as they
will tell you. Some young man, who
has never thought of her seriously be-
fore, will suddenly become conscious
of her attractions, and think how
pretty she would look in bridal array,
wishing he might be fortunate enough
to win her
Thus the romance begins. 1t is a
question of wonderment among the
girls as to which shall be the next
bride. 1t is moment of delightful ex-
pectancy when they all band together
each eager to catch the bouquet which
she throws among them. For this de-
termines the maiden who will be the
next one led to the altar by a happy
groom.
Of course only one girl gets the bou-
quet. But that doesn't hinder the rest
from having high matrimonial hopes.
Last, but by no means least, there's
piece Of wedding cake for her to slip
under her pillow and dream over Sc
cretly hoping that she will see in her
vision one of the ushers who seemed
to be particularly attracted toward
her. He had asked permission to call
upon her.
But girls should not seek to be
bridesmaids too often. There is a SUI
perstition connected with it, which is
not pleasant to learn OF, yet one might
as well know about 1t. Sh-! Let me
whisper it in your ear, girls. The
wiseacres who pretend to know all
about it say: ''If you are three times
bridesmaid you will never be a
bride" So accept with JOY the first
invitation you receive to accompany
your dearest giH friend to the altar.
Be just as glad to act in that capacity

third time to perform the same duty

Now, that the wedding season is in
full swing, every girl will want her
prettiest friends for bridesmaids. If
you have a rosy cheek and a dimpled
chin you may be eagerly sought for.

CODY VICTOR OVER SALOONS
Adjudged Sane When Examined on
Petition Laid to Liquor Interests
Violators Are Fined.

Jefferson.-William G. Cody of
Watertown was adjudged sane when
examined before Judge R. B. Kirk
land on petition, said to have been
forced by saloon men of that city,
whose places of business Mr.. Cody
succeeded in closing on Sundays.
Former Gov. Francis E. McGovern
defended Mr.. Cody in the proceed
ings.
Mr.. Cody was recently appointed
by Mayor Kading to ill the vacancy
left by the death of Justice w. D.
Stacey. The council refused to con-
firm the appointment. The saloon in
terests were blamed. Mr.. Cody i'm
mediately called upon the city Off
Gals to close the saloons on Sundays.
Some of the more daring saloon
keepers soon reopened their places
and arrests followed. The third to be
tried for the offense pleaded nolle con-
tendere and was fined. Saloon men
now say they will keep closed and
the victory is Mr.. Cody's.

Washington. - President wilson,

trade commission law, sent to the SEN
ate the names of the five men nomi-
mated to constitute that commission.
Whether the nominations can be con-

problematical
The three democrats named by the
President are Joseph E. Davies of
Madison, Wis, now corporation COM
missioner, to serve seven years; Ed
ward N. Hurley of Chicago, ILL.,, for
six years, and William J. Harris of
Cedartown, Ca, for five years. The
other nominees are Will H. Parry of
Seattle, Wash, progressive repub-
lican, named for four years, and Geo.
Rublee of Cornish, N. H., regarded
as progressive, for three years.
Mr.. Davies, it is understood, will be
named chairman of the commission.
He was first on the list of nominations
sent to the senate by the president
and received the longest term. Be-
cause of his experience in conducting
the bureau of corporations, the presi-

MILK WAR LOWERS PRICES

Oshkosh milk war is being
waged at Oshkosh, with farmers on
one side and dealers on the other.
Noncombatants are the principal
gamers, as the price to the consumer
has been lowered from 6 to 5 cents
a quart.
Last fall Oshkosh milk dealers
raised the price. Farmers put their
heads together and figured that dur
ing the winter about all their horses
did was stand in their stalls and eat.
In some cases they "chipped in" and
bought a wagon, one peddling the
product for his neighbors.
Creameries paid the farmer only
about 8 cents a quart and they got
5 cents from their city customers.
They are working up good routes and
are well satisfied with the venture,
claiming they are getting more
money for their milk, besides show

About the Crocodile.

There is no escape from the jaws
of a crocodile when they have once
closed upon the victim. The SO teeth,
long and sharp-pointed, fit exactly into
the interstices between them, making
a most effective trap.
In shooting these reptiles a very
accurate rifle is necessary, as there
are only two points that are imme-
diately fatal-just behind the eye and
exactly through the center of the
shoulder. The latter shot will break
both joints of the fore legs and pass
directly through the lungs. The hard
scales of crocodiles are said to be
proof against rife bullet, This may
have been so years ago when rifles
we're loaded with only one dram of
powder. But a hardened, solid bull
let, propelled by six drains Of powder,
will drive through a crocodile as
through sheet of paper.

or how hard she has to work in her
struggle to keep the wolf from the
door, If she las daughter she will
work her fingers to the bone rather
than to permit the girl to seek other
than genteel employment. II the
mother had her way about 1t, the girl
would do fancy things, painting, en-
broider sofa pillows, or teach music
lessons. She has denied herself even
the necessities of life to send the
daughter to school Her dreams of
what she would become have been the
brightest she had ever known.
She determines that the girl shall be
a lady at any cost. She would as soon
think of flying as permitting the girl
to get up first on a cold winter morn
ing and make fire, getting the break
fast for the family.
Let her do a washing or an ironing?
Never, while I'm able to do it," the
mother declares to the neighbors
when they suggest the girl should help
her bit. Her daughter is not initiated
into the art of baking. housekeeping
or sewing. Her dresses are made by
a seamstress who is tasty, but works
cheap.
If misfortune overtakes the strug-
Cling family-if they lose the father or
the mother falls ill-the girl is hope
lessly at her wits end to know what
to do to earn the money for the rent
and the upkeep of her little brothers.
In that moment, the sick mothers
eyes are open. She realizes that she
made the mistake of her life in not
teaching the girl that she could learn
to do all the homework of every de-
scription and yet be lady. Perhaps
1t may be the girls own fault that she
does not know how to cook meal
that could be eaten and keep the home
and the children clean, Keep the little
boys clothes neatly merded. She is
politely laughed at when she answers
an advertisement to teach music to
children after a moments exhibition
of her skill at the piano. She learns,
too, with dismay, that she couldn't
earn enough to keep body and soul
together embroidering sofa pillows be-
cause her work is so plain.
It's the same with china painting.
She's lucky if she secures position
behind a counter in store. If
young man forms her acquaintance,
she would lose him if she invited him
to her untidy home. If he puts the
question bluntly to her, as to whether
or not she could cook a meal, she
would have to acknowledge she
couldn't
She isn't helpmate for poor man.
It is more likely than not that she
would never come in contact with a
rich man, who would want her for his
wife. The girl who does not know
how to do anything we'll is mercilessly
elbowed to one side by girls who have
been taught by their mothers many
useful things from which they could
gain livelihood, If need be. Knowing
how to work never spells any girl.
