many pounds of eggs do you wish to-
day."
This will be the popular question
in the future at stores where hen fruit
is distributed, if dealers in produce
in this city have their way. At least
80 per cent of the merchants Of Apple
ton favor a change in the weights and
measures laws of Wisconsin provid-
ing for the sale of eggs by weight ra-
Their than by count, according to city
sealer George D. Gilman.
Gilman recently made a canvas of
the merchants of the city on the ques-
ton.
The proposed law will provide that
the consumer may order eggs by the
dozen but will pay for them by weight
Eggs vary in weight from 1 Il to IL
ounces pounds a dozen.
Another thing which the law would
determine is the number of days an
egg may be defined as "strictly fresh"
and the length of time it may be term
ed just "fresh."
Steps will be taken to bring the pro-
posed law before the next meeting of
the Wisconsin legislature.

Take trip to the carnival, boys
its going to be fine | was up there
last year and | got mine.
The biggest event in the school year
in the way of entertainment and fun
will take place on Friday and Satur-
day, May II and 13, on which dates
the BIG HIGH SCHOOL CARNIVAL
OF FUN AND FROLIC will take
place.
This will be along the lines of the
big carnival held last year with two
exceptions, one that this will be big
ger and better than the one held last
year and the other that the weather
man has promised fine weather.
More novelties, more races, more
booths and some absolute surprises
will be at this big carnival.
One of the biggest attractions vii
be may pole dance by the high schoo
senior girls. At this dance, one of tn,
girls will be chosen class leader anC
Queen Of the May"
The novelties for the carnival are il
the city now, so there will be no dis
appointment over them. The mer
chants have shown that they appre
ciate clean sports by being very lib
eral with the prizes they have donat
ed.
Emphasis will be laid on games o
skill instead of games of chance.
Some of the events will be tug O
war by businessmen and a hamme
and nail race for the ladies. Race
will be provided for every age and con
dition of humanity. Last year the ia
mans race did not materialize as tn
fat men, who are always bashful, dio
not enter-some one lost a nice han
| by not having nerve enough to run
It's going to be fine, so remembe
the dates, watch for the advertising
and arrange to attend this carniva

APPRECIATION OF MRS. WOOD
FORD.
(By Mrs. A. L. Sawyer)

A good woman has gone from US
and we who knew her best pay tri5-
ute to her memory.
Mary E. Freeman was born in Wa
terville, Maine, February oath, 1847.
At the age of two years she moved
with her parents to Grand Rapids,
Wisconsin, where her girlhood was
spent. January 9Th, 1871, she was
united in marriage to George A.
Woodford who brought his bride
Menominee.
Her gentle manners and quiet eff
fciency soon made place for her in
the hearts of those fortunate enough
to meet her. She became a member
of the Presbyterian Church and of the
Ladies' Aid Society and was always a
willing worker; her sweet alto voice,
as she sung in the church choir, is a
pleasant memory. In 1873 she helped
form the New Years Club" which
remained in existence until time re-
moved so many of its members that
few were left to recall old days and
merry hours. She was a member of
the "Cedars Camping Club" and her
cheerful ways and wise counsel were
strong factors in the harmony that
united the members of that club as
one family for many years. AS a
member of the "Picnic Club" she was
| valued for her companionship; and
while engaged in friendly converse
ton her busy fingers fashioned gifts
for her friends. Retiring, unostenta-
tious and stunning publicity of all
sorts. she did her work quietly and
| well as it came to her in the Wo-
mans Club, Study Club, and Eastern
Star.
A wise and affeetionate mother, a
faithful and loving wife, true friend
and cheerful companion; we may not
look upon her like again.
The summons which came so d.
denly at five o'clock P. NJ, April 23rd
shocked and saddened all who knew
her.
eff earth another grave must bear,
Yet heaven hath won sweter strain,
And something whispers our dispair,
| That, from an orient chamber there,
Floats down, We meet again. Her
| aldLeader, Menominee.

Congress of preliminary plan for

Corps of Engineers of the army is

In particular this bill embodies the
principle of having conducted a scien-
tific investigation and survey of the
highway routes upon which federal
funds are to be expended before the
work of construction is begun. 1t

A DECISIVE VICTORY
LaFollette Wins Wisconsin Delegation

By Charles H Crownhart
For two years the Stalwarts in Wis
consin have been in their glory The
state government has been in their
control. The hungry have been fed.
They have been truly grateful New
positions have been created and pass
ed out as favors. Salaries have been
increased to cheer the political work
ers. The old machine has been well
oiled and active. They were confident
and bold. Their great leader announc-
ed to his fellow railroad managers that
he would bring to the national Repub-
1ican convention an "uninstructed dele
cation" He spoke in the power of his
great position and wealth. Who would
say him nay?
This was the situation when Sena-
IoI LID Il OiAGLIc entered the nolu TO re-
deem Wisconsin for the people. The
Stalwart confidence gave way to con-
Germ. A meeting was called to steal
the party name. Having stolen the
name, it was boldly claimed as their
own. The battle was on.
The champion of all the interests
had attacked every honest measure
of the progressives. He had slandered
honest officials. He had discredited
the University, the Normal schools, the
state binder Irvine factory. But when
his record was attacked he pleaded for
sympathy. He begged that Senator
La Toilette should go back to Wash
ington "and leave me alone" La Fol-
lette preferred to confer with his con-
stituents on who should go to the
convention.
Then the campaign was over. The
organs of the tax dodgers league did
not wait for the vote to be canvassed
They proclaimed their desires as

La Toilette vs.. Jeffris.

The Daily and Wood County Repor-
ters will favor the reelection of Robt.
NJ. La Toilette because he is long
time friend and classmate of ours and
we enjoy an intimate acquaintance
with him that we have enjoyed to-
gether since we both left the Univer-
sity in the Seventies. Further, we are
going to support him because he is
mostly right on all questions that ia
vor the common people and working
man. He stands out fearlessiy against
every thing that in any way blocks
the rights and interests Of the masses
as against the corporate interests of
the great trusts and combinations that
runthe machinery and politics of the
country in the interests of few as
against the masses. We believe the
people of the state of Wisconsin will
support Senator Robt. NJ. La Toilette
and return him to the Senate with a
strong endorsement of his past rec
ord as it is known in this state.
This beautiful bright spring wea-
ther makes one feel like going fishing.
The desire to be out in the open all
and enjoy the warm sunshine and pure
air is with everyone.
