May They Get Together Again.

The divorce case of Meckes VS.. Meckes
which terminated in the county court
Friday, a decree being given the plain
tiff, Mrs Meckes. The case was first
heard three weeks ago and Judge Kirk
land adjourned the case in hopes there
would be reconciliation and urged the
parties to get together, giving them good
advice right from the heart, but it failed
to influence the plaintiff, so it became
necessary to enter the decree of separa-
ti0n. 1t is to bad, for the reason that
the parties had lived many years togeth-
er, both are past the meridian of life and
there is family of children.
The defendant has always been in
dustriOus, economical and 4. good pro-
wider for his family which it seems has
not been appreciated by the family, who
claim that at times he uses "explosive
adjectives," when imposed upon. 1t is
hoped, that after the novelty of separa-
tiOn has wore off, they will come to.

Should Be Aided.

H. B. Wilcox of Madison, state organ
iZer of the Wisconsin Farmers Protec-
tive association, was here yesterday in
the interest of the association, the pur-
pose of which is, to protect all kinds of
game and fish, except the rough kind.
1t is proposed to shorten the open sea-
son, limit the number Of birds and fish
to be taken, require license for fishing
as well as hunting and not to issue a
license to anyone under twenty-One
years of age. 1t is lamentable fact,
that all kinds of game has disappeared
from field and woods, and the fish in the
streams and lakes in the state are things
largely of the past. The association has
membership of over 1900 and will, if
it receives proper encouragement, stock
the waters in the state with spawn and
increase all kinds of game birds by
shortening the open season and limiting
the number to each hunter.

ASKING FOR
LEGISLATION
Retail Dealers Association Want
Laws Now on Statute Books
To Be Chenqed.

The Retail Dealers association of
this state proposes to ask the legis-
lature for the enactment of the fol-
lowing laws:
In the coming legislature the state
association will cause bills to be in
troduced covering the following sub
jects:
To reduce legal exemptions regard
| ing earnings to less than $4,000 per
| month.
To change the law so as to make
employees of the state, the county and

sheed for debt, as are other debtors.
To require collection agencies to

To tax trading stamp companies if
lhe Supreme court of the United
States renders a decision, in a case
that has gone to that tribunal, that
WI warrant the Introduction of such
a bill
To facilitate the enforcement of the
fraudulent advertising law.
We will strenuously defend such
laws as are now in the Wisconsin
statutes that are fair to retailers, and
resist the crop of freak and detri-
mental legislation that the history of
past legislatures, justifies us in be-
lleving, will have to be contended
with during the 1915 session.
All associations and members must
hold themselves in readiness to be
drawn into the EFFORT to accomplish
the above

AMERICAN NEUTRALITY LEAGUE
OF WISCONSIN
To the Citizens of Wisconsin:

To the Citizens of Wisconsin:
Your attention is called to the re,
Gently formed American Neutrality
League of Wisconsin. The purpose
of this movement is to give added
emphasis and force to the proclama-
ton of Pres. Wilson that the people
of the United States maintain the
strictest neutrality with reference to
the nations of Europe, to the end that
we may continue to be at peace with
all the world. Another purpose of
this League is to urge upon the gov
ernment of the United States to pro-
h1blt the shipment of all contraband
of war to the respective belligerent
countries of Europe and Asia. Also
this league is to urge such legislation
as will prevent unlawful interference
with our commerce on the high seas
by the countries now engaged in war
which may amount to confication and
is paralyzing the industries of this
country.
The people of the United States are
at peace and living in friendship with
the people now engaged in war. ANY
legislation or official action by this
government which will tend to shorten
the war, lessen slaughter, suffering,
want and starvation will command
the hearty cooperation and support
of the league. A speedy termination
of the war means an early return of
prosperity to our own country, as we'll
as to all the world.
These are the chief aims and pur-
poses of which the American Neu-
trality League stands 1t is the wish
of the league that its membership in
clude all citizens from every part of
the state in sympathy with these
aims. from every walk of life, and
those whose ancestry comes from
whatever nationality
No dues are required Application
for membership can be sent to
