Phillip Cancels INAUGURAL Ball.

There will be no inaugural ball this
year and no special ceremonies on
January l, Inauguration day, when the
newly elected state officers take oath
of Office, according to a statement Civ
en- out by Governor Philip. The gov
ernor will not even appoint a commit
tee to take charge of the Inauguration
ceremonies, as has been the custom for
many years past.
MY desire is that no special effort
be made to provide ceremony for my
inauguration and that no special so
c1al function be arranged for that oc-
casion," said the governor. II am de-
voting myself to the work of the Of
fee and not to society. would much
prefer to have the oath of Office ad-
ministered here in the executive cham
Der and let that conclude the matter"
This decision by the governor to do
away with the ceremony attending in
auguration is received with disap-
pointment by many people familiar
with the occasion in past years. The
governor has as many people on his
side, however, in feeling that the cere-
monies are useless display.
The custom has been for the officers
elect to meet in the executive cham
Der, together with the United States
snators, congressman, and other high
officers invited, at IL As o'clock on the
morning of the first Monday in jan
uary and, at IL 80 o'clock to march,
each with an escort, to the assembly
chamber. There the escort presents
each officer to the chief justice of the
supreme court who delivers the oath.
In the afternoon a reception is held in
each of the offices of the newly sworn
state officers.

GUARD INCREASE.
SOLONS' PROBLEM
Legislature Must Make Provision
for 10000 Men.
CAVALRY FORCE Is DOUBLED
General Holway Returns From Wash
incton With information as 20
What Units Are Required
by New Army Law.

Madison.-One of the problems
which will take time for solution be-
fore the Wisconsin legislature during
the coming winter is the National
Guard problem.
The work of drafting the bills for
the National Guard appropriations,
which must be largely increased to
meet the emergency situation Occa-
stoned by the new army law. will be
begun at once, now that the units of
which the new organizations is to be
composed are known.
Adjt. Gen. Orlando Holway an
nounced upon his return from Wash
ington, where he went in the interest
of the plan to have the Wisconsin
troops released by Christmas time, that
he had been given information as to
the National Guard units which will
be required from this state under the
new army law. The troops to be re-
Quired from Wisconsin are:
Six regiments of infantry. or two
brigades.
One regiment and one additional
squadron OF cavalry, making Is troops.
Six batte4ieS, or one regiment Of ar
tillery.
One battalion of engineers, composed
Of three companies.
One signal battalion Of two compa-
MES.
Two field hospital companies.
Two ambulance companies.
The reorganization of the troops in
the state will double the cavalry force
and greatly increase the infantry
strength, according to General HOlway.
In the first place, the increase of
the guard from approximately $500
men to move than 10000 will be in
itself a problem in the plans for the
arrangement of the new units and in
the increasing Of the enlistments which
will be necessary.
Now that it is known what branches
of service the government will require
from the Wisconsin National Guard,
the plans for the reorganization can
be begun at once. Although Adiutant
General Holway and other National
Guard officers decline to be quoted on
the plans, it can be said there is very
little chance that the desire of the
present regiments of the Wisconsin
National Guard, that they be kept In
tact, will be followed out. 1t is likely
that companies from all of the present
regiments will be transferred to the
new regiments which must be organ
lied.

Urges Game Protection.


The necessity of game preserves is
urged by Gov. e. L. Phillip.
Il have advocated for some time"
he said, 1.-THE placing Of all moneys col
lected for hunting licenses in a special
fund, after the money necessary for
running expenses is used. l would use
this money to establish game pre-
serves and to aid in the propagation
of fish.
Unless we do this, it is inevitable
that Wisconsin will deplete it's game
until certain birds and game animals
are extinct. There Is danger now that
unless our deer are more thoroughly
protected the day will come when we
will have no deer-hunting season.
Il have heard much talk of the So
called buck law That law was passed
for two reasons, to preserve the deer
and also save human lives. The last
purpose certainly has been accom-.
plished."

Eyes, you will need a priest, and
therefore I will go. But it is not the
gold of these heathens that wish, but
merely their souls. May I claim them

loudly.
'As many as you can get. But how

things?"

embrace it that Christ may receive

Montbar slapped his thigh.
'Wondrous so, Father, and 1t Is a
good bargain for both of us-the souls

is to be the magic lure?"
'That, my son, you shall know in

100000 Loss in Bad Eoos.

The annual loss in spoiled eggs in
Wisconsin alone is over $2,OOO,0OO.
This is the statement of Dairy and
Food Commissioner George J. Weigle.
1t has become such an evil that the
commissioner will ask for legislation
on the subject.
Mr.. Weigle said that as the result
20 to 80 per cent of the eggs tested
are spoiled. He declares that the eggs
of Wisconsin bring approximately
$1O.000,OO0 annually.
"While the general law on food
adulteration gives us considerable au-
thority to regulate the sale of bad
eggs, still l believe the matter is Of
sufficient importance to merit spe-
cial law" says Mr.. Weigle in his re-
port to the department, which has been
sent to the state printer.
by the enactment of a special law
we could more clearly state to the pro-
ducers and sellers of eggs the condi-
tons regulating the sale of this prod
uct.
'Too little attention is given to the
subject of egg production. Our cam
paign should include educational work
showing the possibilities of egg pro-
duction and the benefits to be derived
by proper methods of handling and
caring for this product"
Other legislative recommendations
Of Commissioner Weigle in his report
are:
Regulation of the manufacture and
sale of soft drinks to a fuller extent
than at present.
Law regulating the sale of sausage
containing cereal.
Law authorizing the seizure Of food
products offered for sale when such
products are unfit for food.
Place the inspection of bakeries en-
tirely with the dairy and food commits
sion. Part of this work is now done
by the industrial commission.
