Madison = New automobile legisla-
ton will be urged by Assemblyman
Carl Hansen, Manitowoc, in the legis-
lature 81 am going to have all of the
laws on automobiles, motorcycles and
jitneys codifed," said Mr.. Hansen.
"Then am going to offer provision
that when a person obtains a license
to operate car, he be given also a
copy of the law. Too many people are
killed by automobiles. It is because
people do not understand the laws.

orator of the car will be educated
Mr.. Hansen said he would re-intro-
duce his bill affecting the storage of
explosives, as the accidents in the past
two years had cost many lives. The
bill will provide that any person who
desires to store explosives must OBJ
tain permission of the chief of police
or of the chairman of the town board.
SO that all may know where the dan

SAYS EMBARGO ONLY HOPE
Governor Phillip Believes Food Prob

eraI Authorities.

Madison-'T know of nothing that
could be accomplished by the legisla-
ture that would reduce the cost of liv-
ing" said Gov. E. L. Philip. UNLESS
the government sees fit to stop export,
can see no hope for reduced cost of
food until we have harvested another
crop.
"In Wisconsin we have no great
storage houses for grain except at SUI
perior, where grain is held during the
winter for transportation by boat in
the spring. Grain is stored in Mil
waukee to some extent, but the spec
luIation is not enough to affect the mar
ket.
"The high cost of food has been
brought about in large measure by
the abnormal price paid for grain. We
cannot look for cheap beef and~pork
with the price of feed at the present
high water mark"

Executive.

Madison-John F. Dietz, Defender
of Cameron DAM" has been denied
pardon by Gov. e. L. Philip. it was
announced at the executive othces
here. A notification was sent by the

heart disease and dropsy, Gov. Ph1lipp
promised he would not object, proVld-
ing Dietz remains In the custody OF
the prison warden. A communication
from the physician Of Waupun penl-
Tertiary, concerning the prisoners
condition, has been sent to the board.
Gov. Philip said in his letter to the
attorneys, that the testimony OF John
D. Britton, which the witness h1mself
attacked in an affidavit presented at
the hearing last August, could have
been stricken from the trial record
without altering his verdict. He de-
clared the requests of a number OF the
Jurors that Dietz be paroled in no
way alters their solemn conclusion
embodied in their verdict" He as
serted the changed stories of the other
witnesses, as submitted to him, do not
lead to the conclusion that the 1ury's
verdict would have been different had
they testified in accordance with their
present declarations
John F. Dietz was found guilty OF
having shot and killed Oscar Harp,
deputy sheriff, during the siege OF his
home at Cameron Dam on Oct. 8, 1910.
An attempt was being made to serve
upon him a warrant charging an as
sault upon Bert Horel. He was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment After
the supreme court had sustained the
verdict, Dietz appealed to Gov. +. II.
McGovern, who committed his SEN
tence to twenty years imprisonment.

Madison-School legislation will oc-
lcupy much of the time of the legisla'
ture at the coming session, according
ito plans being formulated by educa-
tors.
1t has been no secret that the com
mittee of 100, which was organized a
year ago, and which includes many
well known teachers of the state, will
he in Madison with bills or recon-
mendations for revisions of the school
laws. The members of that committee
have professed to be interested in the
welfare of the common schools, and
little reference has been made in their
announcements to the regulation OF
the higher institutions of learning.
Members of the legislature have re-
ceived letters from State Superinten-
dent of Instruction G. p. Cary, ac-
quainting them with the fact that
there is to be much school legislation
and enclosing a pamphlet containing
the laws now on the statute books.
The death of Assemblyman H. M.
lLaursen of Shell Lake takes away the
only logical chairman of the commit
tee on insurance and banking. Mr..
Laursen was the only member of the
committee in 1915 who was returned
to the assembly. He was especially
fitted for the craftsmanship.
At the special election which is to be
held to elect his successor it is prob
able that W. M. Rowe of Sarona, who
was defeated at the primary by mar
row margin by Mr.. Laursen, will be a
candidate, and the prospects of his
election are bright

Scientists Prove by Experiments That Numerous Suggestions

Found That Drainage and Wells Would Do No Good-Believed Thls May Be Last Time Great Wa

Ancon Canal Zone), Panama.-That ing in the Panama canal is taking place cannot be weakened to any no table degree by heavy rains, and other facts instructive for the civil engineer ing profession, are results that have been derived from investigations made to ascertain what value, if any. there was in the innumerable sug gestions for controlling the canal slides that have been mailed to Gen. eral Goethals from all parts of the world.
 That there was nothing practical in all the schemes that contemplated draining the area that has been giving trouble, by means of tunnels or wells, as has been suggested from many quarters, has been conclusively proved by series of experiments made un- der conditions that will make the re- suits convincing and of interest to all civil engineers and geologists.
 Advised That 1t Was Water.
 Tt is the water in those slides that makes them slide" General Goethals has been advised in all languages. If you had drained off that water by means of small tunnels and wells these slides would not have occurred" and by means of wells and tunnels future slides from this rock will be avoided" are two other opinions that have been insistently sent to him for a long time, and especially of late What General Goethals thought he did not say, but cable was sent for every thing that was needed to conduct a series of investigations that would be the last and convincing scientific an swer to all these suggestions. Donald F. Macdonald, the canal geologist for the last five or six years, was retained and ordered to conduct the most ex- haustive experiments along the lines

GOOD FEED FOR BEEF CATTLE
Prediction Is Made That Slage Will
 Be One of Greatest Factors in Reducing Cost of Beef.

Silage will be one of the greatest factors in the future in reducing the cost of producing beef It is only within the last few years that silage has been fed beef cattle.
 At the Indiana station an experi- ment including a ration of sixteen pounds of shelled corn, three pounds of cotton-seed meal and thirty pounds of silage was compared with a grain ration containing fifteen pounds of si- lage and five pounds of clover and also with third ration containing ten pounds of clover but no silage.
 The price per steer was as follows: s2l.5O for the full feed of silage, $l5.SO for the half feed of silage and $12.7s for the lot receiving no silage.

ADVANTAGE OF EARLY LAMBS
f Eve and Young Are Given Good Care and Dry Shelter April Lamb Is Quite Desirable.

The April lamb is desirable with most sheep owners. In order to have tho April lamb. says Better Farming. 1t is necessary to breed the ewes in November, since the period of gesta- ton is five months with these ami mals. April is often cold and stormy and the pastures do not get much start, but if the eve and her lambs receive good care and have a comfort able dry shed or stable to stay in out or the indictment weather, then the April lamb is much more desirable than the lamb born a month later.
 The April lamb is ready to eat May grass; that is, it has the grass-nib- bling habit started, and soon is on both grass and milk diet. The early lamb has many advantages over the later lamb in the matter of being able to feed on the summer herbage and Keep up a constant and vigorous growth through the summer months, when the younger lamb often has en- barrassments of the fall season that it cannot so successfully combat, and if the milk supply of the eve is checked or diminished from shortage of pas ture the late lamb is more seriously affected than the older one.
 There is more difference between the early lamb and the late one than appears in the young of other kinds of animals on the farm. The fiocking habit of sheep. no doubt, influences considerably in this respect, since the sheep incline to crowd together in punches as the weather grows warm and the flies become troublesome. There is no animal so sensitive to the annoyance of the fly as the sheep, and this works a great hardship on the younger lambs, as the mother sheep is less attentive to the wants of her lamb. :

est in the suggestions experienced geo. logists have been able to offer after a study of local conditions. This atti- tude toward practical geologists means much for their future work with civil engineers engaged in tasks in any way similar to the problems of canal excavation.
 Work Is vindicated.
 The vindication of the work of the canal geologist during the last four or five years made by these expert ments has called into notice here the fact that it was the canal dredge di- vision and not Geologist Macdonald that fixed the approximate date of the last of November, 1915, as the time when a channel say 125 feet wide, would be cleared through the sliding ground. When MT Macdonald, in Oc- tober, made a brief examination of these slides during a stay here of a day. he asked the canal engineers when they could get a narrow chan nel through the mass of earth and rock that was then completely barring the canal. They answered, Two weeks Whereupon MT Macdonald said to a New York World correspon- dent that if such a channel could be put through by about the last week Tn November, so as to give the dredges and scows a chance properly and effectively to attack the slide, the channel could probably be kept open and gradually enlarged to normal size in spite of the sliding movement Mir Macdonald said that there would be some possible chance of the channel closing again during the next four or five months, but when the material now moving had been brought under control by dredging, no new sliding that would close the canal channel would occur, "as long as Gabriel's trumpet remains unsounded." The dredging engineers did not have mar row channel cleared through the slid ing material on the last of November because Q dredge broke down, but they had such a channel through about ten days later. The governor of the canal is not permitting vessels, ex- cept its own, to go through the chan nel, because passage interferes with the dredging, and because, as Geolog- ist Macdonald suggested there is a remote possibility of another closure of the channel should very heavy rains or other unexpected conditions occur, until such time as the dredges remove all the menacing material. Af- ter this has been removed, and it is not great in quantity. according to meas ures on the canal. though it Is known that small slides will occur for some years, no slide that will close the canal can occur.
