Marry at St. Thomas, !.
Our Woods.

Do you know what kinds of wood
were used in making youf furniture,
your lead pencils, the floors in your
house or even the telephone poles in
the street? There are enough people
who are curious about varieties of wood
to keep the forest service at Madison,
Wis, busy answering queries. More
than one thousand samples Of wood
are sent to the laboratory annually for
Identification. These samples range
in Importance from railroad ties to
chess pawns. Many specimens could be
readily identified by an experienced
lumberman. But there are others Of
abnormal growth or discoloration that
must be studied under the microscope
before they can be accurately iden-
tilted. One does not have to be for
ester or a lumber expert, however, to
appreciate the fascination of wood
study. Forestry exhibits such as the
one in the American Museum of Natural
History in New York City hold the at
tention of the novice. In that exhibit
sections of trees are grouped by three
families. Every member of a group is
there, cut to show the grain and parti-
ally stained or vanished to show how
the finished wood looks. The leaves,
blossom and fruits of the different trees
are there, showing bewildering vari-
ETY. Of characteristics in individual
trees of the same family. To awaken
an interest in our North American trees
to teach children as well as grown-ups
to study and love the trees of their
own locality is perhaps a humble but
none the less useful step in the con-
servation movement. Anyhow, the
agricultural college has been working
along that line for long time

NO TRANSFERS TILL JULY
Chairman Thomey of License Committee
Keeps Place Closed and Holds Tt Can
Be Operated Only by David Jeff
to Whom License Was Issued.

One saloon down on Main street has
been "Waukeganized." 1t is the sa-
loon which was formerly known as the
"America. The license for the place
was issued to David Zeff, but it has
been closed on the order of Alderman
Herbert Thomey, chairman of the Ii
cense committee and it is not going to
be re-opened until the committee is con-
WINGED as to the ownership Of the
place.
"Zeff turned the place over to bar
tender some time ago." said Alderman
Thomey, "and recently deal was
made to sell the place to a man by the
name Of "Hibbler" from Waukegan.
/ do not know whether the sale was
contaminated or not, but l know this,
that if the place is re-opened before
q new license is issued in July, Jeff
to whom the license was issued, must
go in here and run it. The law strictly
provides that there can be no transfer
of the business management of saloons
during the license year and this law is
going to be just as effective under the
present administration as it was under
the former administration of the af-
fairs of the license committee. There
is not going to be any bartering in sa-
loon licenses in Kenosha. I appreciate
the fact that the Waukegan man may
be looking for q saloon license in
Kenosha. I appreciate the fact that
the Waukegan man may be looking for
q saloon now, but he will have to wait
until July to get license in Kenosha
and he will have to be able to satisfy
the members of the committee that he
is a fit man to have license"
Overtures have been made to the
chairman of the license committee to
permit the re-opening Of the Main
street place. The license still decorates
the wall of the saloon, but it is made
out in the name of Jeff and there is
an understanding among all interested
in the place that it must be conducted
by Zeff or by no one. Zeff, according
to the statement of the chairman of
buS COluuulO1G6) 10 INV WOIhluS LA an
other saloon and he seems to have lit
tie interest in the place for which he
has license.
1t is said that there have been several
Waukegan men who have been looking
about Kenosha for places to "store"
the stocks which they had in saloons
as Waukegan when the dry wave hit
that city on Monday, but these men
will not be permitted to go into bust
ness here until after they have proved
their fitness to the license committee
and after regular licenses have been
issued to them after the first of July.
The case of the America is said to be
typical of number of cases in Keno
sha and all of these places will be
closed by the chairman of the license
committee if any attempt is made to
shift ownership.
The license committee has already
started an investigation into the
qualification of saloon men and they
must be able to show that they are
fitted to hold licenses if they are to
get renewals or new licenses when the
council committee acts the latter part
of June

Wait just a minute. When it comes
to discovering plots against the nation
Senator Husting wants to be put in the
rank of discovers right along with
Christopher Columbus. However, the
senator will be expected to give some
tangible evidence that some of our
"most prominent Badgers" are link
ed in a reasonable conspiracy against
the government. Wisconsin men may
some have been born in Germany, but
this is no reason to question their
loyalty.
