SNOW Brings SMILES
AVERAGE CITIZEN NOW IN
HOPES STORM KING Is ABOUT
"ALL TUCKERED OUT"

Rarely before today have any con-
siderable proportion of Madison citi-
zens extended open arms to a vicious,
late winter storm. The oldest cit
liens are authority for the statement
that extremely isolated are the cases,
within their recollection, when heavy
SHOWS, driven by battering northeast
winds have not been received with
lamentations which could readily
have been understood by people on
the opposite side of the street.
Persons who wondered at the
smiles worn and the frolicsome ex-
pressions uttered by men and women
who dove head first into the blast
which seemed to have engaged in an
uninterrupted journey from h Arc
tic circle, had lost sight of the fact
that nature had deigned to crafty
the wishes of the average citizen by
introducing the month of March I'M
der keen weather conditions. AT the
first signs of the storm last evening,
hopes were expressed hat the snow
and wind would continue at least un-
til after midnight. Unabashed by
taunts to the effect that they were
superstitious, those who hoped for a
lion like March, voiced the belief that
storms coming now Will tend to
';wear out" the winter. incidentally,
they vouchsafed a hope that the lamb
will gambol as vigorously during the
last of March as the lion roared at the
first of the month.
The temperature at Z o'clock this
morning was IL degrees above zero,
and the velocity of the wind, which
formed moderate sized drifts on
streets and walks, vas v%ariously es-
timated at from 80 to 40 miles an
hour. Slippery rails and snow in
railway cuts caused a slight delay in
passenger train service.

Tense %contended that misrepresenta-

CITY IS DEFENDANT
MEEkER x DOBSON BRING SEC.
OND SUIT TO RECOVER
S1OS1 FOR WORK.

Madison city is the defendant to-
day in the circuit court in a second
suit brought against it by Meeker &
Dobson, contractors, who claim
$1,0S1, as balance due for laying
sewers in the city. The sewerage was
installed by Meeker & Dobson about
three years ago, and when the work
was finished, the firm received from
the city $4,000, $1,0S1 being with
held from the contract price on the
grounds that the sewer was faulty.
The company claimed that it had fol-
lowed specifications, and agreed that
if the sewer could be made to give
satisfaction, while keeping strictly to
the letter of the specifications, it
would not press its claim for the
$1,0S1.
A company of Sioux Falls contrac-
tors were called in by the city TO
make such alterations as would per-
NIT the sewage to grayitate to the
disposal plant. The work was done,
but Meeker & Dobson contended that
the Sioux Falls contractors exceeded
the specifications of the city engi-
neer. 1t was claimed that cement
bands, which were uncalled for in the
specifications, were placed around
the joints of the tiling.
a demand for the s1.0S1 was again
made on the city, and it was refused.
Meeker & Dobson brought suit to re-
cover the amount in the circuit court
a year ago, and the case was decided
- TLA n1ns,
tiffs took the suit to the supreme
court, and the ease was ordered re
tried.
Meeker & Dobson are being repre-
scented in the case by Farmer & Blew
lit, and Charles j. Porter is in charge
of the defense.

FOR BABY week
BABIES ARE NOT REQUIRED As
A TICKET OF ADMISSION.

The meeting of committee chair
man for Baby week, held last night
at the city hall. showed a gratifying
ogr in the work for better
babies. The chairmen reported that
not a single lady had refused to take
the work given her TO look after. IL
was decided to serve coffee, sand
witches and doughnuts all day Baby
day, and the weather forecast is for
warm weather after March A.
The slogan for Baby week in Mad
ison is Better Babies. Better Moth
ers. a Better Community" This last
item means that every man. woman
and child in Lake county needs 10 be
present to learn to do his share In
good citizenship for the county. The
women without any children will
learn of many things they can dc
with the extra leisure they possess.
and the booths will be full of things
which the men and children will en-
JOY and profit by.
Much literature, from reputable
sources like the American Medical
association and the United States
government will be distributed free
of charge, and a study of the pam
phlets in moments of leisure viii
weld a magnificent influence for
better health conditions.
Several merchants offered TO es-
tablish booths in the exhibit room tc
display such of their merchandise as
is of interest to the occasion, and il
J was voted to grant the privilege to
other merchants who applied. The
request should be made to Mrs. X. ii.
Jones, chairman of the exhibit com
mittee.

SHOULD CLEAN MOUTHS.
DENTISTS ADVISE MORE ATTEN-
TION TO ORAL HYGIENE
FREE CLINICS TODAY.

While the teeth of Madison school
children generally are not thought to
be in a worse condition than are
those of the pupils in the general run
of cities, there is a noticeable lack Of
attention given to teeth among the
little folks, it was disclosed at the
free dental clinics which have been
given by dentists of the city for the
benefit of the children.
Clinics were given today by DR.. w.
A. Rothschild, for the pupils at the
Garfield school; DR.. p. NJ. Rensvold,
pupils at Washington school; DR.. O..
W. Hanson. pupils at the Lincoln
school. and DR.. II. II. Cuisine, pupils
at the Normal school.
The dentists said this afternoon
that some teeth were found to be i'm
extremely bad condition, while some
teeth were found to be in almost per
feet condition. 1t was the conclusion
of the doctors that most children here
do not take the care they should of
their teeth. They said that general
ly there is a lamentable lack of oral
hygiene.
In examining the children's teeth.
the dentists cooperated with the local
branch of the State Red Cross So
ciety's public health movement. Miss
NJ. A. Winters, Red Cross nurse, said
the dentists, in granting their time to
the children, had done much toward
raising the health standard of the
city.
DR.. Rothschild said that a class
from the sixth grade whose teeth he
examined this afternoon, showed that
the young folks had taken excellent
care of their mouths.

SEED CORN
FARMERS MAY HAVE TESTS
MADE AT THE NORMAL
SCHOOL FREE OF
CHARGE.

This is a bad year for seed corn.
A rigid termination test must be APP
piled if even a fair stand is to be
secured. In order TO do this in the
best name the department of agri-
culture of the State Normal school
offers the use of their large mechan-
ical germinator. This machine has
just been recently installed and has
a large capacity. 1t is the type used
by seedsmen in almost every state.
Samples sent to l.. G.. Atherton at
the State Normal will receive prompt
attention. There is no charge for
testing of this nature.
