RAINFALL CHART OF WISCONSIN.
Facts and Figures On Precipitation
Around State for Year 1915.

A few figures from the Wisconsin
bulletin, published at Milwaukee, tell
an interesting story of the rainfall
in various parts of this state during
the year just closed.
The greater part of Grant county
shows a precipitation of 80 inches,
excepting a belt including all of Craw-
ford, part of Richland and Grant coun-
ties, from Fennimore, Livingston and
up to Blue River and Boscobel. This
region experienced a rainfall of sc
inches. The rainfall varies according
to the chart from 80 inches in the
extreme northwest portion of the
state, namely: Douglas county, to over
Al inches in part of Burnett, and Polk,
all of Villas and Oneida counties and
most of Taylor, Lincoln and Forest
counties.
Outagamie, Winnebago, Calumet,
Brown, Washara, Sheboygan, Keno
sha and Racine counties were blessed
with a rainfall of between % and 80
inches, although it is doubtful if the
disparity occurred at the right sea-
son. Most of Iowa and the lower half
of Richland counties, had rainfall
from 40 to "A inches. The other por-
tions of the state show about the same
percentage as does Grant.

LeMeIrY Store Is Robbed.

Some time during Sunday night the
iewelry store of G. NJ. Morrison was
entered from the rear by removing a
pane of glass in an outer shed, break
ing a glass in the second door, and
boring a hole sufficiently large to adj
nit a hand and turn the key in the
door that admits to the store. From
the show window six watches, fourteen
rings and other valuables, amounting
TO $3.50 were taken Mr.. Morrison and
local authorities secured Mr.. Kraus
and his bloodhound of Viola, to come
over and attempt to run down the
thief or thieves. Too many had en-
tered the place and tramped about the
premises to permit of a fair chance to
test the working qualities of the
hound. There or four leads were made
in different directions, but without
avail
lit is unfortunate that the guilty
parties have not been apprehended.-

with no loss or gain. This amount
is equivalent to a medium size piece
of beef steak. If man were to live
solely on milk he would require gal
lon a day, or 127 grams of milk pro-
tein. If rice was to be the diet 1876
grams would be required, which is
more than three cups of uncOoked
rice. Potatoes would require that a
man can eat one-third of a bushel a
day, while nine and a half loaves of
bread would have to be consumed, or
over fifteen pounds of Johnny cake. "
Candy, sweet chocolate, or any
form of sugar given to the hard work
ing man at the end of tn } day will in
crease his strength in a remarkably
short period of time. There is a dan
ger though of overlooking the blood
stream with too much glucose or SUI
gar. A pound or two of candy eaten
at one time would be dangerous.
Great care should be taqen in
choosing table companions as diges-
ton is disturbed by fear and anger.
The tired or grouchy man does not
digest his dinner properly. The man
who comes to the table in a happy
frame OF mind with a keen appetite
is sure to find that his food is easier
to digest"

one surely got things pretty badly
mixed up, as we are still in Long
Beach, where we have been all winter.
In the first place I wrote for the pa
per to be sent here for awhile, and
then to San Diego. Then on account
of the floods at San Diego, we decided
to stay in Long Beach for while
longer, and did not mention Los An
geles at all, as we have never lived
there.
The article says we are going to
stay in San Diego Indefinitely, on ac-
count of the floods at Los Angeles, and
am writing now, hoping you will cor
rect the mistake, so that our friends
there will not be guessing about our
whereabouts, and also SO that you will
continue sending the Herald to my adj
dress here until further notice.

aHuman FIesh Good Food

"Cannibalism would be the best way
of providing oneself with food" said
DR.. H. G. Bradley of the state univer-
sity in a lecture given recently in con-
nection with the course in health and
disease, before the medical students.
THE ideal food would be man fiesh,"
said DR.. Bradley. when we eat 9TH
er kinds of meat our digestive sys-
TEN has to break down the proteins
it contains before it can start to con-
struct. We could live on proteins
alone, but it would not be economical,
it would take 12O pounds of meat pro-
teins to keep a man alive for one day

YOUR TOWN-AND YOU.

If you want to live in the kind of town,
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new.
It's knock at yourself when you knock your
town
1t isn't your town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid,
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody shirks,
You can raise a town from the dead.
And if, while you make your personal stake,
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to see.
1t isn't your town-it's you.

aAeerediting System Bad.y

C. p. Cary. state superintendent of
public instruction, is quoted as saying
that the accredited high school list is
an evil that should not exist in Wis
cOnsin.
NO state university should be allowed
ed to put up the bars against the adj
mission of students who have had
four years of training in a public
school, and are recommended by the
principal as qualified to do college
work" says Mr.. Cary's statement.

Marshal Finds Jail "ROOmer" Dead

According to Warren, ILL.,, Sentinel
stranger inquired at the Hotel War
rem one night last week for the city
marshal. When he found that official,
he asked for nights lodging in the
.calaboose, which request was granted,
along with a warm supper. When
the marshal went to the Jail the next
morning about o'clock he found the
stranger on his knees beside the bed,
dead. A letter found in his pocqet
giving the address, "Bolto Filjak, S.
st. Paul, Box, AGO." was the only clue
to his identity. 1t is said that the
man walked from Apple river to Ga
lena. His clothing was in good condi-
ton. The body will be held a few
days for Identification.

Society for the Elimination Of Cats.

The Society for Prevention of Cats
About, organized in Oshkosh, recently
declares that "Tabby" and "Tom"
must seek other and more congenial
surroundings than the lakeside city.
The society classifies the cat in
the same category with cockroaches,
mosquitoes and flies as disease carriers.
The denunciation is that cats are
worthless, treacherous, prowling and
dangerous animals, and thereby for
felt the right of existence; are enc
mics of birds and a nuisance and
menace to society. Away with cats,
is the edict.

Potpourri of NelUs Items
Which Stimulate Conjecture

mo state university should be permit
ted to dictate even indirectly by
welding even the admission club
what the course of study in public
high schools should be.
1.-THE accredited list is an evil that
ought not to exist in Wisconsin. The
evil is subtle and may perhaps be ig-
nored in view of the moribund condi-
ton of the university denomination.
The evil consists in this, that high
schools in some instances may still
take pride in the shackles that bind
them to a higher institution of learn
ing, rather than pride in being liv-
ing force for the welfare of the COM
munity."

GOING GEORGIA ONE BET.
TER

From the Dawson News:
For lynching in squads Geor-
gla must yield the palm to Flor
ida. 1t IS true that Georgia was
the scene OF quintuple lynching,
but in that case the five were men,
while Florida's lynching of five
persons disposed of three men
and two women 50 it must be as
sumed that the championship
now goes to the peninsular state,
says the Savannah News. How
ever, the difference between the
two affairs, is not 50 great as to
give Georgians any excuse to Of
Ter advice to Florida, although
there IS always good reason to ex-
press regret when any state suf-
ters from such tragedy. The
outterlngs Of the lynched negroes
were soon over, but the evil re-
suits Of the crime Of their taking
off are sure to be felt for some
time to come.
Aside from the inexcusablc
wrong done to the negroes involv-
ID, mob violence is a direct blow
to the fortunes of the section of
the country where it occurs. Such
Wrong-dOing cannot be defended.

WHY IS IT?
Farmer

Progressive Farmer:
There have been thousands of
examples furnishing proof of the
increased yields resulting from
the blowing under of a legume
crop, and there is probably not a
farmer who has not seen many
such examples, but still, we sell
dom grow more than the small
est acreage of legumes and still
more seldom plow them under.
The explanation is simply that
the average farmer not only does
.5ot believe what he hears and
'TVaGs about such matters. but he
does not even believe what he ac-
ITALY secs with his own ewes.
lie sees the results, but does not
believe that the blowing under of
the lcgumes is the real cause of
these results, He really believes
that there IS some other explana-
ton and that the same results
would not follow for him. No
other explanation can possibly
account for our continued cult
vatlon OF poor soils, when legum-
eS will make them rich, or at least
legumeS will double the yields of
our soils without the loss of a
single pound of the crops now
grown. Truly, the way of the un-
believer is hard.
