shall be just and reasonable.
1t provides for a. hearing or re-
view of unjust fire insurance rates,
giving the commissioner of insurance
pow er to fix and order the just and
proper rates.
This power is to be exercised i'm
practically the way railroad and pub
lie utility rates are reviewed, and
ahe orders are subject to appeal to
the courts in the same manner.
1t prohibits secret cut-throat com
petition.
1t provides for the companies in co

Companies may charge higher or
lower rates according to open pub
lie schedules filed fifteen days in
advance.
1t provides for gathering statistics
Of premiums and losses SO that t.
justice and correctness of rates may

1t gives a means of correcting
the overcharge in rates by which
the people of Wisconsin now pay an
nuauy $1,500,O00 to 100000 more,
proportiCnately than the people thru
out the United States.

WILD DEER seen
ON FARM NEAR HERE

When John Almquest a farmer who
lives about half mile below the
lower ferry at Nekoosa went to feed
his calves d few mornings ago, he
was surprised to see a deer, whose
age he judged to be about two years,
among the calves. The deer did
not appear to be afraid Of Mr..
Almquest M. Almquest returned
to the house and called his seven
daughters out to see the real live
wild deer. Some of the Misses
got too close to the wild animal and
frightened it away.
1t is unusual to see a live deer
in this. locality and it was surpris-
ing how little the deer seemed to
fear human beings.
Mr.. Almquest has another claim
to notoriety in the world OF sport. He
was fishing near his home, which is
located on the easterIy bank of the
river, he USED an ordinary bamboo
rod and he hooked an extraordinary
large pickerel-the fish weighed 10
pounds That's doing pretty well for
a man VINO lost one of his aEms a
bout three years ago in wood
saving machine.

TAKING THE
SLANG OUT Of
THE SLANCUACE

If we don't watch Harvard closely
the boys up xth re behind their
tortoise shell trimmed cheaters are
going to take the slang right out OF

he Harvard c atcher on the baseball
team, has declared himself as think
ing it rude, repulsive and unrefined
ard the other boys in the neighbor-
hood where the brows are commonly
Supposed to grow altttudinous have
agreed with him Shades Of George
NJ. Cohen George AIDE and Chuck
Connors.
An interview with one of the eel
ebrated vaudeville actresses who are
appearing here this week demonstrate
ed that the stage, is in favor Of
the purifying Of the language.
What do ycu thi- Of the idea Of
limiting the language to the diction-
ary?" she was asked.
Take it from me, I'm for it" she
she replied readily. Some of the
slang you hear around this town
would drive Su right off your eggg.
Put me down for the pure language
league"
What would we do in base bali,
fer instance, if We couldn't say '"At
a boy!" Now you've got him in a
hole Keep a working" a Little
Right in the groove" etc. !?
If John Waterman has his way,
there will be a lot of US poor sui

ERUPTI0NS ON SUN
NOW BEING BLAMED
Oshkosh Astronomer Gives Rea-
son for Bad Weather
For the pas two months-ShoW
ers and cold.

Eyerytime news is scarce and the
editor hurries into the city room
and demands copy, someone whites
q story on the weather. All of
which makes the Ed. wrathy.
The Ed. being out for lunch and
the foreman from composing room
believing up 70 copy, here goes.
The weathermansays showers and
not much change in temperature.
Goodness Agnes-but it wasn't very
warm yesterday.
According to a chap named Smith
up in Oshkosh, the present brand OF
weather THAT is being dished up to
suffering humanity is due to erup-
items on the sun. To be more
exact Mr.. Smith says, sun spot
maximum. "
The sun has an atmosphere of its
own according to Smith, and there
is a certain amount of effect of that
atmosphere upon the atmosphere OF
the earth. The sun has eruptions
or spots which come to their height
or maximum once in every twelve
years. This is the year. The maxi
mum is manifest in visible manner
chiefly by aurora borealis.
SO, the readers of the Reporter
will be tickled to death to know
what the weather MY is, eV6T
if they do not understand it.

FIRE IN STOW {

From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
A fire in a stove in the Gets
Paint Store ON First street north
was what caused the fire alarm yes
terday afternoon.
Some oily rags that had been
thrown in the stove caused a dense
smoke which filled the store. Miss
Myrtle Peak clerk in the store tried
to discover the source of the smoke
and although she looked in the
stove three separate times, did not
discover the cause, she finally turn
ed in the alarm.
In the mean time the shoulder
SIG rags had burst into flames and
blown out a chimney stop in a rear
room and the fire was coming out
of this aperture and would soon
have started a real fire but for the
prompt work of Mr.. Gets and others
as the opening in the chimney was
right opposite where the oils are
sept. As il was no damage was done
whatever.
