A standard of moisture content for
coke and soft coal is proposed by
Dairy and Food Commissioner George
Weigel, says the Madison Democrat.
The purpose of the standard will be
to protect consumers from the evil
of paying coke and coal prices for
large quantities of water which the
product may be made to contain. Com
missioner Weigel has had the matter
under consideration for some time,
and has been making investigation not
only of conditions in Wisconsin, but
of the experiences of other states.
From tests that have been made by
the department the percentage of
moisture content Of coke and soft coal
varies from to %, a difference that
is intOlerable according to the view
of the department experts. When the
consumer buys ton of the coal that
contains % per cent Of moisture he
gets 400 pounds Of water for which

and his son, David, was solved when
the body of the older man was washed

Title to 100000 acres of timber land
reverted to the normal school fund in
decision rendered last week by the
supreme court of Wisconsin. Nearly
year ago the court found that title
to many parcels of land had been di-
verified from their proper trusts. AS
the matter was very complicated, and
commission was appointed with
Judge Hastings of Green Bay as spec
ial referee to make an accounting of
all the lands dealing with trust
funds The report was completed last
October. 1t specifically points out all
the laws touching on public land
transactions in Wisconsin and cites

Need for Highway Engineers.
Highway plans for bond issues re-
quire expert skill and professional
service. Before the amount OF bonds
is determined, a thorough study Of
the needs Of the county should be
made and careful maps Of the pro-
posed highway system should be pre-
pared. The sum to be issued should
not be fixed until it is reasonably
known what it will accomplish. 1t is
customary for many counties to ap-
point q commission OF business men
under whose Jurisdiction the bond
money is expended. In other cases
the county supervisor or county COM
missioner has the direction OF e1pendi-
lures. The best results have always
followed where such commissions or

hire a competent engineer to make pre-

is not uncommon to find counties that
will repeatedly postpone the sale Of
bonds in order to obtain an increase
OF one per cent in a bid for $4,000
or less and then proceed to construct
the roads in a most haphazard and ILL.,
