FAIR WILL APPEAL
TO BOYS AND GIRLS
EXTENSIVE PREMIUM LIST is
PLANNED FOR AGRICULTURAL
EXHIBITS.
WILL CENTRALIZE CLUBS
Plans Developed Whereby Juveniles
May Be Chartered on Grounds
All Week-Have Member
ship of Over 10000.

Madison Ill accounts resulting
from the 1915 state fair have been
paid, and officials in charge of the fair
are well into work of preparing for the
1916 exposition, which will be of great
er value from an educational point Of
view than any of the past fairs.
One of the big departments this year
will be that of the boys and girls ag-
ricultural exhibits and contests. An
advance premium list for this depart
ment has been sent to all schools, and
already several entries for this depart
ment have been received.
Cooperating with fair officials in
conducting this department are the
United States department of agricul-
ture, University of Wisconsin, through
its agricultural department, and the
department of public instruction.
Boys and girls agricultural clubs
in Wisconsin have a total membership
exceeding 10000. While the various
agencies have been encouraging this
work, there has been little accom-
plished toward centralizing it, and this
mission it is expected the state fair
will fill.
Plans are now being developed
whereby boys and girls will be quar-
tered on the fair grounds all week, if
they so desire, at cost. Assisting in
the encampment feature will be the
Y. M. G. A. and the Y. w. G. A.

VALUE OF LAND is HIGHER
Average Price Throughout Wisconsin
as Shown by Tax Report Is
$55.25 an Acre.

Madison.-An increase of q per cent
and fraction in the average value per
acre of land in Wisconsin, according to
figures compiled by the state tax COM
mission has been made in the last
five years. The increase for the previ-
GUS five years was 81 per cent. Prices
in 1915 were sc per cent higher than
those in 1905.
The average value of land in 1905
was $33,75; in 1910, $43.25, and in
1915, $5525.
Though Milwaukee showed the
greatest rate and greatest actual in
crease, it is the only county with a
large city to show large gain, unless
there were other causes for land value
than the presence OF the city. The
counties in which dairying is the
greatest industry show the heaviest
gains, both in rates and in dollars and
cents.

THE HOU1E.
100000 FOR U. S. YARDS
Resolution Transfers Money to Equip
Mare island to Build Largest of Bat
tleships-17-Inch Guns Are Urged
by Speaker Clark.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Naval affairs
were debated in the house for the
first time on Monday, and the Naval
academy increase bill was passed by
a vote of IT'S to 0. The house also au-
thorized the immediate use of S50O,OOO
to equip Mare Island Navy yard to be-
gin building a dreadnaught or battle
cruiser, and the expenditure of $780,
900 to enlarge facilities at the New
York yard.
The Mare Island yard will build
the first big battleship ever construct
ed on the Pacific coast.
Speaker Clark and Republican Lead
er Mann took part in the debates, each
favoring the naval bills. The academy
bill will provide for the immediate in
crease of 900 midshipmen at Annap-
oils.
Speaker Clark said he favored dou-
bling the capacity of both Annapolis
and West Point and extending the
privilege of education at either insti-
tuition in such a way as to "democra-
tie" both services.
Representative Mann called for d.
vision on the academy increase bill
to put the preparedness opponents on
record, but none of those who had
spoken against the measure responded
in the negative.
Speaker Clark declared that If IT.
inch guns were being placed on for
eign ships the United States should
have them as well, or the best guns
obtainable now or hereafter.
Mr.. Mann suggested that the naval
affairs -ommittee speed up it's work.
Il believ that tho president is sim
cere," he said, land patriotic in his
utterances as to the possibilities of
the future, and that we ought to aid
him in preparing our country for trou-
BILE, which we all hope will not come,
but which may come"
The appropriations for the navy
yards will transfer 100000 of the
money already appropriated for
dreadnaughts Nos. 49 and Al and for
the extension work. The government
yards bid $1,000,O00 under private pro-
posals for dreadnaughts 43 and A.
The equipment of Mare Island will
give the government two major con-
struction yards, the other in New
York.

"ZEP" FALLS INTO SEA
BELIEVED AIRsHIP DISABLED BY
DUTCH SHELLS.
Crew OF British Trawier, Fearing Cap
ture, Refused Aid-Twenty-
Two Perish.

London, Feb. 5.-Thirty-five more
deaths in British waters, resulting
from the Zeppelin raid, are reported.
Twenty-Five of the victims are Ger
mans, members of the crew of a diri-
gible, believed to have been the Lis,
which fell into the North sea.
Thirteen men of the crew OF the
collier Franz Fischer were drowned
when the collier was sent to the bot
tom in two minutes by bomb dropped
by one of the Zeppelins returning from
the raid made On England. Only three
men of the Fischer were saved.
The story of the fate of the wrecked
air craft is told by the crew of the
steam trawler King Stephen, Captain
Martin, which arrived at Grimsby. Aid
was refused the Germans because they
outnumbered the crew Of the trawler.
1t is considered likely that the Ger
mans have drowned by this time.
The fishermen say that early on
Wednesday morning in the North sea
their attention was attracted by flashes
of light apparently from a ships sig
nal lamp. They made for the spot and
found a huge mass of wreckage.
They stood by until the light i'm
proved, when it was seen that the
wreckage was that of the Zeppelin
Liz. The cabins and a part of the
envelope were under water, but a
large part of the envelope was float
ing.
On the platform on the top of the
envelope seven or eight Germans were
seen. These hailed the trawler in
English, calling: Save us! Save US
We will give you plenty of money"
AS the trawler carried only nine
hands and the Germans numbered
about twenty-five, Captain Martin de-
cided that it was not safe to take Sc
many enemies aboard, particularly as
the trawler was unarmed. He feared
that his crew might be overpowered
by the Germans. The captain there
fore proceeded to report the position
of the airship to the proper authori'
ties, adequate assistance being sent
afterwards, and put into Grimsby.
1t is believed that the Zeppelin was
one of those participating in the raid
of January 81. The fishermen had
been at sea several days and were not
aware of the raid.
The Zeppelin probably was disabled
by the Dutch coast artillery, which
fired on it while it was attempting to
return to Germany over Dutch terri
tory.

GERMANY ENDS CRISIS
BERLIN MAKES FULL SETTLE
MENT OF CASE.
kaisers Government Makes Conces'
sions Which Give Promise of
Final Adjustment Soon.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Al danger of
a rupture with Germany over the Lu-
sitania controversy has disappeared.
Count Won Bernstorff formally COM
municated to Secretary Of State Lam
sing on Friday the reply of his gov
eminent to the oral representations
made to him some days ago.
While Germany has refused to de-
clare that the sinking of the Lusitania
was illegal and contrary to interna-
tional law in the form desired by this
government, it can be stated on au-
thority that concessions have been
made which give promise of adjust
ment as a result of further ex-
changes.
Whether these concessions fully
comply with the terms of settlement
offered by President Wilson will de-
pend-from the American viewpoint
on very close study and examination
of the note.
From the German viewpoint the
communication is regarded as grant
ing substantially all that the united
States asked in the report recently
sent to his government by Count Won
Bernstorff, on the basis of his last
conversation with Secretary Lansing.
Should President Wilson not find the
concessions wholly satisfactory ii
seems probable that an adjustment to
make them acceptable can be reached
in informal conferences between Sec,
rotary Lansing and Count Won Bern.
storff during the next five days.
The concessions made by the Ger
man government are of such a char
acter, it is understood, that if they
fall short of satisfying President Will
son they have so narrowed the margin
of difference in the informal negotia'
lions as not to necessitate the aban-
donment of the informal negotiations.
