Show Cattle Released May 81

From A. D. Melvin, chief of the bu-
reau or animal industry, comes the
statement that unless some condition
not now observable arises, the Nation
al dairy show cattle will be released
from their long quarantine at Chicago
on May 81. This will be done subject
to the restrictions of the states to
which they are to be shipped.
Every experimental means has been
tried to secure infection from these
animals. Clean cattle were turned
among them, and saliva from the re-
covered animals placed on the tongues
of the we'll ones. Uninfected hogs
were turned in and had every possible
opportunity to take the disease, IT IN
lection remained. Cultures of all va
rieties were made to determine with
absolute certainty the presence or ab-
sence of virus carriers among the anil
mails Every test has given negative
results, showing not trace OF the DIS
ease remaining.
"From scientific standpoint, says
DIR. Melvin in a recent letter, the
value of the experience with the dairy
show cattle is dependent not upon the
fact of saving this herd of infected an
imals, since thousands of herds had
been saved generations ago, but be-
cause an opportunity has been given on
a large scale to determine the pres
ence or absence of virus carriers among
these particular cattle. The exhibitors
have always represented that they
wanted the work on this herd to con-
stitute a great American experiment,
and the department concurs in this de-
sire" g.
The last conclusive test was COM
pleted on May 9. For the sake of
| safety the cattle will be held under the
| same strict observation until May 81,
| at which time, unless something unex-
pected happens, the greatest expert
ment in live stock sanitation ever con-
Quoted will have reached a successful
termination. How will it change
methods for controlling foot and mouth
disease, if another great epidemic
should sometime strike the country?

IT is hard to understand what politi-
cal significance can be attached to the
combine of the LaFollette contingent
in the senate with a few democratic
supporters in their efforts to prevent
the repeal of the primary electlon, pam
phlet law. universally condemned as a
useless and expensive contraption, 1t
cost the state about $4,000 last fall to
enable just twelve candidates to tell
the public why they should be nom
mated, while nearly 500 other candl..
dates declined to avail themselves OF
this cheap method of publicity. II the
scheme had anything worthy of com
mendation in the law it might be
worth saving; then there might be
some excuse to buck the administra-
TONS desire to clean up some of the
deadwood on the statute books. Such
opposition is playing peanut politics
purely.

Five Cent Meals.

| have before me bulletin of the
American School of Home Economics,
Chicago, entitled Give Cent Meals,
for which | paid ten cents. In sending
for the pamphlet | had the thought
which | find expressed very we'll in the
introduction: ''Too often poor cooking
and the way money is spent, rather
than the amount, accounts for under
nutrition and under development of
children.
While am not convinced (nor, ap-
parently, is the author of the pamph-
let. for that matter) that five cents for
each member ought to be sufficient
expenditure for family meal for two
adults and four children, there are
given many recipes of five cent meals
fully as nutritious as many that are
served at cost of several times five
cents. Nor are the five cent meals
necessarily any less appetizing than ex-
pensive meals Indeed, among the
recipes | find many of my own favorlte
dishes.
There are few Wisconsin families, in
all probability, in which wise economics
cannot be effected in their living costs,
and this applies quite as much to those
in straitened circumstances as it does
to the well-to-do, if not more. The

often the poverty-stricken are so be-

Such a pamphlet as the one under
discussion is valuable, either for the
purpose of making people think, or as
a substitute for thinking on the part of
those who have not the faculty. Phil
anthropists studying the partial starva-
ton of school children, (Which results

CIRCUMSTANCES of acute interest at
Middleton, Reedsburg, Madison and
half dozen other places not far dis
tant enforce in very practical manner
the desirability of an early repeal OF
the blue-sky law. The act approx
mates fraud 1t leads to swindling.
1t tends to give state valuation to
stock issues =. when such valuation
should not be authorized. 1t probably
has led to the robbing of hundreds of
people who have taken what may be
considered the states word as to the
safety of stock, only to find themselves
defrauded later. Persons who buy
stock should rely only upon their own
Dainstaking investigation. The matter
of determining the worth of stocks as
an investment is something to which
the state has no just relationship. In
the nature of things, it is impossible to
determine prospective values of stock.
This fact has been demonstrated so
MANY times, both to the detriment and
to the advantage of investors, that
business men will not gainsay 1T. The
blue-sky law is calculated to mislead
and harm rather than to do good. 1t
should be repealed, the sooner the bet
ter. About as we'll might the state as
sumo to inform citizens of the advisa-
bilitv of investing in live stock and
grain. 1t is function that does not
properly belong to the commonwealth.

A Few Strong Facts.

Edison has revolutionized the talking
machine business in just one year. He
has done away with the bother of
changing needles. He uses diamond
guaranteed for life. He has overcome
the hollow barrel tone and produces
real music. All records play on the
Edison. Every voice of the world that
has been recorded can now be heard on
the Edison and only as the Edison re-
produces, ''perfect." Edison plays loud
or soft with no change of needles or
closing of doors. Applying chamber
of the Edison Disc is of moulded brass
like all the best grade of musical in
struments. Edison says ''hear it. The
people have decided in it's favor.

WHILE the Barnes-ROosevelt verdict
never touched the Coils cash box is no
surprise to those who followed the tes-
timony, the general impression is that
the political status of the ex-president
is pretty badly SCARED by. the encoun-
ter in court. If it proves that Barnes
has killed off the doughty Col. polit-
ically he might be better satisfied than
with a money verdict. The Chicago

FAIR CONSOLIDATION PROBABLE

The consolidation of the Rusk
County Fair with tbs Ladysmith Fair
has at last got to a point where 1t
seems probable, the matter now be-
ing up to the Rusk County Fair Asso-
ciation At a meeting held Monday
at Ladysmith a tentative plan for
consolidation was proposed and rati-
fled by the directors Of the Rusk
County Agricultural Society, and this
plan now awaits the stockholders of
the Rusk County Fair Association.
The plan is for the Ladysmith So
ciety to pay the debts of the Rusk
County Fair, take over the grounds
here, and issue to Rusk County Fair
stockholders stock in the Ladysmith
Fair The debts of the County Fair
Association are now about $4,000 The
county has appropriated $1,000 to the
fair that survives, and thus it would
be up to the Ladysmith institution
to raise about $4,000 at this time to
effect the consolidation.
The matter will be threshed out at
a meeting of the Rusk County Fair
Association to be held in the vii
lage on Tuesday Of the coming week,
March End. A full attendance of all
stockholders is desired at that meet
