THE WAY OUT OF IT

few plain truths told in a sar-
castle way vein, by the state fire de-
partment at Madison:
He knew the gun was not loaded
but it was.
He looked for a gas leak with a
match, and found it.
He lighted a match to see if his
gasoline tank was empty. 1t was not
He smoked while filling his auto
tank, but will do so no more.
He smoked in the hay NOW, but will
not do so again.
He smoked in bed, so did the bed
clothes:
He threw the matches into the waste
paper basket. He is wiser now.
He threw a cigaret stub into some
rubbish.
He used wooden box filled with
sawdust as a cuspidor.
He saved his oily waste and ally rags
and they burned his shop.
He washed his hands in gasoline
near the stove. The doctor washes
them now.
He allowed dangerous conditions to
remain because "he never had a fire.
He does no longer boast of that record.
He did not worry about fire as he
had plenty of insurance" and forgot
the safety of his wife and children
upstairs.
He used a torch to thaw out frozen
water pipes and set the house on fire
He stuffed up the chimney holes
with papers and rags.
She cleaned her gloves with gasoline
and saved fifteen cents, but paid the
doctor and druggist fifteen dollars.

SAVE TROUBLE

The Wisconsin Conservation Com
mission sent out circulars giving no.
tice that ducks have begun to fly
north and asks hunters to observe
the law prohibiting the spring shoot
ing of them. Violators will be prose-
cuted by the federal authorities and
besides, paying the penalty imposed
by our state courts. Persons making
complaint will be entitled to one-third
of the fine, which leads to the con-
viction of violator. Violators can
be brought into court up to time
limit of two years. The Pilot would
warn hunters to read these laws, be-
come acquainted with the penalties
and take no chances, and you save
trouble and expense.

NEW CHEESE FACTORY

There are efforts being put forth
just now to have a new cheese factory
built on the Smith road, 312 miles
east of Wausau. The idea is to find
the right man who will put in the
plant and the farmers will promise
to patronize him., The first meeting
was held about ten days ago and
another one was held last Saturday,
at which two cheese men were present,
and it is possible that a deal will be
made with one of them. Anyway, a
cheese factory will be started there
soon.

 SIGNED; HALF MILLION
 GRAB RUSHED THROUGH

tWe're spending money like drunken sailors said Alderman Daniel P liar rigan, last night, a resolution au- thorizing a contract for half Q million dollars of Warrenite went through a special meeting of the common coun- cil, like the Twentieth Century Linn tied through a country town on a Michigan Lake Shore.
 This morning, before the good citi- Zens of Bridgeport had got their breakfasts fairly settled Mayor Will son and Director Courtade signed con- tracts with Warren Brothers, to lay Warrenite on streets named below.
 There was no competition, no bid ding, none of the usual protective con ditions which surround the letting of municipal contracts.
 The price was $1.20 per square yard, with the usual extras, which hereto fore have sufhced to make the average actual price $1.52 per square yard.
 lderman Moran was fiDst on his feet, when he learned that the object of the special meeting was to devote half a million dollars to Warrenite, without competition

TRICK HAMBURG
 STEAK USED TO
 DECEIVE POLICE

How trick Halnou steak was used to fool the police, who inspected Ba1dwfn's Cannon street cafe was brought out today when the county commissioners decided to forbid~the sale of liquor on the upper floors of the resort. It was generally supposed that the second floor was restaurant for large signs telling about the jIScy qualities of Steaks, chops and gri11ed joints'' were proudly displayed.
 But the police discovered that tho only food in the place was the trained steak Whenever a b1uecoat was seen climbing the stairs a waiter would bawl. .Hey, Eddie. hurry qp with that steak Soon the faithful Hamburg would be brought into view, fanked by a body guard of parsley and mushrooms. After the police left the steak was excused for the night
 The commissioners did not revoke the license of Ba1dw1n's place. The saloon is allowed to sell liquor be- fore but so many complaints were re- ceived about women on the second floor that the police complained to the commissioners. If Baldwin makes some improvements on the second floor he will be allowed later to apply for permission to sell liquor in what he calls his restaurant.

 Among Union Men.
Especial to The .Farmer.)

Fairfield. April 25-Denial was made at the plant of the Aluminium Castings Co.,, this afternoon, that the mo1ders had gone on strike.
 Union leaders in Bridgeport greceiv- ed reports this morning from men who said they were molders of the Cast ings Go. They declared they had struck because their <e bosses wanted them to tsbreak in'' helpers as regular holders. The men say they refused and when the attitude of their em- ployers wasn't changed they struck.
 At first, absolute denial of any change at all, was made at the plant of the company. Later, the follow ing statement was issued:
 we put seven men to work at 10 o'clock this morning after they had quit their jobs at the new golf links on Sasco Hill. We want all the men we can get. That may explain the story"
 According to persons near the plant, holders walked out at 10 o'clock this morning and many more quit work with them, not returning until a, boss talked with them outside the plant.
