Nomination for Governor.
Therefore in the beginning there
was study and thorough, scientific
investigation of every problem And
when Wisconsin enacted the various
laws intended to regulate and super
wise various phases of business. in
dustry and trade, 1t went about it
in an orderly way. And when It
came time to administer these laws
1t still followed an orderly proceed
ure.
Somebody's Business.
1t has become a habit with the
people OF Wisconsin to do things in
an orderly way, So whenever Wis
consin has passed a law 1t has made
II the duty of someone. some official,
some department TO make that law
effective That is the Wisconsin
way That is Wisconsin's concep-
tion of efficient government That
has become Wiseonsin's conception
of business administration
IL is not reasonable to suppose
that there will be any return TO the
old order There is no reason for
believing that the people of Wlscon-
sin are ready to abandon that which
they have found to be good After
fifteen years of fighting for some
thing approaching efficiency in the
administration of government, the
people OF this state have acquired a
habit of thought and habit OF work
They put the mark of their own
workmanship upon everything they
do, and they are not ashamed to
claim their own handiwork

we are led to suspect an indefinite
increase in talents under proper guild
ance and cultivation.
But when all allowance is made for
lack Of opportunity and for improper
treatment in childhood and youth,
we are still far short of being unde-
veloped geniuses. A suitable environ
ment can help to develop qualities that
are present at the start, but no en-
vironment can develop qualities that
are not there.
1t is the old question over again, of
whether any royal food can be found
that viii make a gosling develop into
swan. From the goose's egg you
will get only goose, although some
geese are better than others Again,
after Matching the egg, proper feeding
and care will give you a better goose
than can develop through neglect and
starvation. With the children of man
it is unfortunately true that while
feeble-minded stock is likely to remain
feeble-minded, the people of mediocre
abilities often give rise to combina-
lions OF valuable qualities that do not
reveal themselves in the appearance
OF the child or in the wealth of the
family. 1t is therefore desirable that
every child receive all the opportun-
tiles and all the encouragement to
show what his possibilities are. This
is necessary quite as much for the en-
richment of our lives as for the discov-
cry of the occasional genius.

inning the Giants started a rally and
made one run. The game ended with
the score, to 2.
'The strain of that game was never
equaled by me. Upon it hinged a
league championship and the right and
honor of play in the worlds series. In
addition to this, the feeling in New
York was at such an extreme pitch
that we had received Black Hand let
tiers, which threatened us with our
several lives if we took the pennant
from New York.
Il don't believe I ever was SO
alarmed on diamond as at the con-
clusion of that game, when the crowd
at the Polo grounds practically mob
bed US. Chance was hit in the neck
and could not speak Tor several days.
Other players were similarly treated.
Luckily I escaped"

Timely Hints for Poultry
Growers.

The best feed for little turkeys is
dry grain chick feed, but it must be
free from mustiness or moldiness and
be clean and sweet.
Weaklings should never be tolerated
in the chicken coop. Kill and bury
them, for otherwise they will be the
first to become infected and later die.
More ducks are killed by unneces-
sary handling, chilling and underfeed-
ing than all other causes combined.
Be sure that little ducklings always
have plenty of water to drink, espe-
cially at meal time, and deep enough
so that they can get their heads into
it up to their eyes.
Eggs to be used for Matching should
not be subjected to either abnormally
high or low temperatures. If they can
be gathered before they have time to
cool after being laid it is all the bet
ter for their Matching qualities. From
so to so degrees is the best tempera-
ture for storing Matching eggs.
Little chicks should be protected
from cool, damp surroundings. Moth
ing is more detrimental to their health
and more certain to bring heavy NOR
tality than to let them out in the wet
grass early in the morning.
When shipping live poultry to mar
ket always allow sufficient room and
use a coop sufficiently high, so that
the fowls will not suffer from cramped
positions while on the road. Any dis
comfort reduces their weight and costs
the producer a certain amount OF
money.
Avoid feeding chicks food that has
been in stock so long that it is moldy.
1t is bound to cause much trouble.
To get the most out of your flocks
you must adopt present-day methods,
so as to be on an even footing with
your competitor
The early Matched pullet is the one
that begins to lay early in the fall,
when eggs are high in price.

Collars Make BIouses.

Do you know how to trim up" the
plain blouse and make it become your
individual style? Get collar in white
chiffon or sheerest organdie which, in
turning back, covers the nape and the
sides of the neck, runs fatty across
the shoulders and straight down over
the bust, forming a slender ''V" open
ing below the throat. This collar is
bordered with pin-tucked self material.
straight on its outer edge and widely
scalloped along the fine, embroidery
outlined inner edge. Another blouse
dominating collar has tapering, mar
row turnover coming high against all
save the front of the neck, and wild
ened by an extremely broad frilling of
the plated material. a-iour hemmed.
In crepe de chine this second collar is
extremely practical as well as dainty.

Few Women Who Have Plenty to
Do Have Fits of Blues
BY LAURA JEAN LlBBEY

ton in general are the assets she de-
ponds on not only to keep her posi-
ton, but to forge ahead. There are
too many helpless ones at home, usu-
ally, dependent upon her to encourage
fits Of the blues.
1t is only the fdlers or those who
have little or nothing to do who rail
secretly over really insignificant af-
fairs. The women welded to men
who drink UP the greater part of their
wages, leaving the family at horne to
light starvation, election from the
home that shelters them and with in
sufficient clothes to cover them,
bravely fight the demon discomfort,
put their shoulders to the wheel and
live and dream of the glorious duties
they are performing in keeping their
children at school and the golden re-
ward that will surely be theirs later
on.
The childless wife, who has longed
for the clasp of little arms around her
neck and childish, loving lips pressed
to her own, encounters battles which
she must fight bravely to outwit at
tacks of the blues. Philosophical
women accomplish this by answering
the cry of their lonely hearts with
this truth: Whatever should be, will
be. Whatever is, is bsst. He who
denies their earnest prayers knows
best.
Even those who have knows and
lost love can be made to realize that
the heart has been enriched by II
through memories Of the hours when
1t was tenderest, truest and at its best.
II but one blessing is given US, we
should be grateful for that one, shut
out discomfort and cultivate a happy
disposition, though we have it not,
and always look on the bright side.

Taffeta Frocks

Undoubtedly many practical
frocks of the tailored type made
of taffeta will be worn by the
young girl as well as by her
older sister, and charming ex-
amples are on view in shops
which make a speciality Of cloth
ing for the younger contingent.
One such model is fashioned
from taffeta checked in green,
brown and white and made with
a blouse jacket, the waistline of
which is defined by a narrow
belt of the material placed at
high waistline. The skirt is
gathered and untrimmed. There
are collar and cuffs of white lin
en- embroidered in green and
brown silk.
