SUPERSTITION STILL WITH US
Decisions Have Not All Been Done
Away With, Despite the Advance
in Education.

The accusation of witchcraft has
been made against Detroit woman.
Let none of us go too far in our SCOT
f1ng.
Superstition is dead. 1t existed in
the middle ages, but not any more.
So they say.
Actually, superstition lives and
thrives despite the fact that few
glaring decisions have been repudi-
ated by the majority.
There is the superstition of legal
revenge, the superstition of money
getting as a means of being happy,
the superstition of race prejudice and
class prejudice. These are but a
few. The vast mass of them are so
cherished that it. is unwise to name
them
The public mind holds many super
stitions, and SO does the mind of ev-
cry individual. What are called the
dark ages are 500 years behind Who
can guess how many Of our illusions
will have been scorned and cast aside
500 years hence?-Detroit News.

State Fair Figures.
OFFICIALS STATEMENTS.

G. P. Norgord, commissioner of agri-
culture: The state fair officials have
endeavored to give the people of Wis
cOnsin a fair of interest to rural and
city jewellers alike. A further pur-
pose was to make the people feel that
they have received their moneys
worth. The fair is past and the peo-
pie are the judges as to how well these
objects have been accomplished. Few
adverse criticisms and many favora Die
expressions have come to this office.
We have appreciated the kindly dis
position shown. Secretary Remey has
shown marked ability in planning and
conducting this fair. Our superintend-
ents, in most instances, succeeded in
putting in departments that would do
credit to a national exposition. The
fair was planned so as not to exceed
the average expenditure for the last
ten years. Hence the average re-
,eipts should cover the expenditures.
In spite of unfavorable weather, our
attendance of 125,46 was larger than
!ast year. The heads of the depart
ments made every effort to make the
lair a success"

HIS SISTERS LITTLE ANGEL
Bachelor Told to Keep Eye on Young.
ster So That He Wouldn't Get
Into Any Mischief.

81 was visiting my married sister
in Toledo last week." relates Buck
Halves. She's got a three-year-old
kid, and, while / am fairly fond OF
children, / am a bachelor and some
what sot in my ways. / was rather
dismayed, therefore, when my sis
ter proposed leaving me in the house
with the child one afternoon. And
here's what she said:
Don't put yourself to a bit OF
trouble-he can take care of himself.
See that he doesn't climb up to the
pantry shelves and keep an eye on
him so that he won't get into any
mischief. He won't annoy You.
Don't let him go down cellar and
watch that he doesn't get hold of the
books in the library, and he'll amuse
himself all right. If he cries give
him a cooky, and if that doesn't stop
him ride him on your back. But
don't let him bother you bit. I'll
be home in an hour "-Cleveland
Plain Dealer.

State Suffers Little From Frost.

Madison.-Frost damage is the topic
of discussion in the middle West at
this time.
That Wisconsin is in the district
hit by the recent frosts is admitted
but how does this frost damage af
feet this state in comparison with
other states? Iowa and Illinois were
not left untouched and we have no
reports from Indiana or Ohio, but as
the frost covered Michigan, it is ap-
parent that the states Immediately
south of that state may have come in
for share of the general loss. But
how about Wisconsin?
Aside from tobacco, which Is con-
siderable of crop in Wisconsin, corn
is about the only crop largely grown
that is affected by the frost. Even
corn is crop minor to hay and pas
turage and of little more consequence
than oats. Material to the stock in.
dustry as corn is in this state, we are
able to stand considerable reduc.
ton in its feed value without Grip
ping our live stock industry.
Again, we do not grow corn for the
market, save for seed, and from this
standpoint we are fortunate, for corn
that will bring little on the market
If indeed it is salable at all, may be
pretty good feed for live stock.
Again, in Wisconsin we have the
silos that are calculated to preserve
the greatest percentage of the value
of corn that may be affected by frost.
Much of Wisconsin's corn appears to
have entirely escaped the frost, and
that which is affected will be saved
almost entirely by the silos. So it is
apparent that our loss, while we re-
greet it, is small in comparison with
that of other states, and but a trifle of
what it would have been were it not
for the good sense that has led the
people of the state into the live stock
industry.

Futurist Ambulance.

In interior decoration the modern
ist movement still holds the fort. An
ambulance, recently presented to
France by a woman much interested
in art and who has liberal fortune
back of her, has it's paneled walls
painted in a peacock green to a
height of four feet, with the rest of
the surface the color of lemon.
Such a color scheme would make
most we'll people feel sick and dizzy
but the giver of the ambulance is
sure that the wounded soldiers will
be delightfully."- amused; they will,
perhaps, be made to forget their in
juries by the nightmare effect. -Har-

Urges Permanent Fair for Milwaukee.
Permanent business headquarters
for the Wisconsin state fair may be
established in Milwaukee.
An offer VII be sent Commissioner
C. P. Norgord and the advisory board
by the Merchants and Manufacturers
association to provide offices in the
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation rooms If the fair authorities
will locate the business department of
the fair in this city.
The association contends that this
would be permanent benefit to the
fair as it would put the offices in -1il-
waukee where they naturally belong.
Locating Offices in Milwaukee has long
been considered by the fair authori-
ties but has never been effected be-
cause of accompanying expenses.
Plans for two new buildings have
been completed for the fair grounds :
the sheep and swine sheds. They will
cost about $4,000. Another $4,000
will probably be spent in an extern
sion Of the grandstand.
Because of delays on the part of
the legislature in passing the $225,000
fair appropriation bill ard later de-
lays by the county in purchasing the
Fleming tract upon which the appro-
priation release was dependent, the
100000 release for 1915 did not come
in time to be of service for this year S
fair. This amount will go into future
building plans.
A new drainage and sanitary sys-
tenn will be provided before another
fair is held. Better drainage is essen
tial, evidenced by the condition of the
rains recently.
1t is hardly possible anything will
be done toward remodelfng the coun-
ty building before next year, but this
will be taken up as soon as possible.
The county exhibitors complained be-
cause Of the lowness Of the structure,
poor ventilation and improper light
ing.
Commissioner Norgord plans the
preparation of an improvements sched-
ule to come within the five year ap-
preparations of the legislature. Be-
fore any more work is done he fn-
tends going over the needs of the tair
and the necessary expenditures and
then working by yearly budget. Work
has been started on a concrete fence
to replace the old wooden fence which
has fallen on many occasions in re-
cent years. While a small section has
been completed it is hardly possible
any more work will be done for the
present. The terminal question has
come up again and one of the first
problems which Mr.. Norgord must
solve must be the installation of a
terminal station.

TO THE MAN WITH AN IDEA.

l received recently the following
letter from one of my readers:
Being an admirer of your column,
and knowing your desire to assist
young people, ] wish you would adj
wise me, and at the same time others
In the same boat. l have been at my
trade for twenty years, have worked
for the largest six firms in our lire.
am at present with the largest in the
country, but the most mismanaged.
By applying efficiency to the shop,
know several. thousand dollars could
be saved in the course of a year, by
changing the system so that the work
would not be rehandled. etc. What
l should like to know is to whom
should give my ideas, the foreman
(and have him get the credit). or the
owner? How should l go about the
latter?
Thanking you in advance, am
yours truly,
"ADMIRER."
1t is exceedingly difficult to advise
unless one is familiar in the premises
and is acquainted with both the men
and the conditions. In this case, as in
many similar ones, can speak only
in general way. | will assume that
the writer of the foregoing letter is
correct when he says that his factory
is mismanaged and will proceed upon
that hypothesis Whether it is or not,
it is obvious that improvement would
be possible, and that our friend may
have some practical ideas. l should,
however advise him not to present
them unless he is reasonably sure that
they are worthy of consideration. l
should suggest that he talk them over
with competent and trustworthy
friends, if he can, and try them out
theoretically, at least, before bringing
them to the attention of his en-
ployer.
The question is, however, whether
it is best to present them through the
foreman or direct to the owner OF the
factory.
If the foreman is a man of integrity,
can be trusted, and is fair and square,
l should advise our friend to have a
frank talk with him, present his ideas
to him, and request him to bring them
to the attention of the proprietor, with
or without being accompanied by the
originator.
The foreman can easily obtain an
audience, and will be given attention,
while the originator, being mechanic,
is not likely to have the same oppor-
tunity.
If, however, the foreman is not to
be trusted, our friend should present
his ideas directly to the owner or to
one of them, either verbally or In
writing.
In either case, 1 should suggest that
he write out these ideas, retaining a
duplicate copy of them, the original
to be given to the foreman or to the
owner, in connection with a verbal ex-
PLANTATION.
For his own protection should fur
Their advise him that he acquaint one
or two of his trustworthy friends with
the facts, so that, should his ideas be
appropriated without credit or re-
Enumeration for him, he would have
tangible evidence of being their orig
inator.
If the carrying out Of the system
suggested required machinery or fix
lures of any kind, our friend should
protect himself by patent before &C
quainting others except reliable
friends, with his discovery.
