Seek Accurate information.

A. w. KaIbus, head of the statistical
division of the department of agricul-
ture, has asked assessors, farmers
and breeders to cooperate with his
division in presenting more accurate
information concerning acreage of
crops and number of live stock in the
Badger state.
Many farmers seem to be of the
opinion that statistical information Is
desired for taxation purposes, and in
consequence it is believed that asses
sors have not been given accurate in
formation in the past.
The Importance of giving accurate
information is especially urged upon
farmers and breeders. Unless the in
formation they give the assessors Is
accurate, there can be no correct fig
ures showing acreage of crops and the
number of live stock.

To Preserve Papers.


There are not fifty persons In the
United States who are skilled in the
preservation and repairing of old man
uscripts. One of them may be found
working on the third floor of the Wis
consin Historical library building at
Madison, one of the six or seven in
situations in the country that carry on
such work scientifically.
The first thing done in the process
of preserving the letters is to place
them between wet newspapers under
weight and leave them for five or
or six hours. This removes the creases
and the dirt. Then they are put be-
tween wood-pulp boards and left "a
hours, and then between blotters to
complete the drying process.
The next step is to repair the paper.
The paper of some Of these letters was
fall to pieces if struck. This is
strengthened by layer of crepoline,
transparent cloth, on both sides OF
the piece of paper.
Other letters needed mending along
the edges with parchment paper. To
cover holes piece of paper is glued
over the edges and is left larger than
the hole until dry. 1t is then cut
down to the proper size and the edges
sand-papered until smooth. After all
such repairs are made the letters are
mounted on large white sheets and
| prepared for binding.

M'SWEENEY'S SEASIDE TRAPS
CALLED 'HELL-HOLES,' BUT
GOLFERS LIKE THE LAYOUT
BY SANDY McNIBLICK

COUNTRY CLUB OF ATLANTIC CITY.
NORTHFlElD. N. j., Oct 81 Night
mares dreamt on a restless couch, then
dynamted into the golf course here; per-
feet visions of an inspired golf expert;
"hell-holes' not fit for mortal man the best
pitting of any golf course in the section
these are a few of the expressions of
opinion by the eighty golfers fortunate
enough to survive the qualifying round in
the fall tourney today on the trapping
of the Country Club course.
good golf trap. according to the
ancient reckoning, is one at which there
are the most holers If chairman Of a
course blows out a trap and IL is Inn
mediately condemned by all the members,
said chairman knows his pit has been
happily placed and seeks to plant more of
the same.
This has always been so
II 1t proves anything. the Northaeld
pits are the works of a genius, no less.
Authors Speech
Henry McSweeney has plotted the trap
ping. and the huge field in the tourney Is
divided. Half praises him without end for
the excellence of his handiwork; the other
half would bring the heavens TO witness
that the traps and those alone have cost
them their chance at the laurels.
Greensman McSweeney has this to say:
For the man on the course there is
little trouble. The pits have been placed
to catch the poor shots, and they are SO
built that a golfer has got to lose shot
when he gets In. II he tries to get dis.
tance from a trap II is going to cost him
several strokes. / have placed traps for
the short player, the medium player and
the long player Traps near the pins are
playable, but through the green they cost
a stroke in most cases"
This latter thought is the reason c. @.
Waldo, winner of the Apowamis ancient
and honorable tourney among others, called
the traps 'hell-holes"
Uncle Herb? Present!
Herbert Newton, Frankford who says he
has not missed a single tournament this
year, asserts McSweeney saw him play last
year and then put traps where all Newton's
shots went. He said he found many of his
old haunts and there each time was a trap
where last year was none.

gathering that did not get into a single
pit or trap yesterday.
He feels that the trapping is ideal.
Fred Sherman. starter. was in his ele-
ment yesterday. shopting CHEEKY greetings
and joshing every golfer that stepped Oh
the first tee. He warned every one about
the traps and laughed gleefully when he
saw McSweeney playing out of one of his
own inventions. up to his waist In the trap.
EVERY time McSweeney has a nightmare
he turns II into a trap for our course"
asserted Sherman.
But most OF the joshing seemed to be
really admiration for the construction, and
the judgment was general that the traps
had been placed with almost uncanny ex-
pertness

"As an undergraduate at Yale. Bob Gard

NATIONAL BODY
WOULD BE UPLIFT
FOR BOXING HERE
Game Abroad Makes Great
Progress by Method of
Regulating Sport
WOULD RULE CHAMPIONS

One Of the chief advantages of a national
association in control Of boxing is the au-
thority such an organization would have
over the champions of the different classes
Under the rules as enforced in England
by the National Sporting Club. of London,
the French Federation Of Boxing, of Paris
and the Australian Boxing Association, of
Australia, champions must defend their
titles once every six months or forfeit to
bona fide challengers.
These foreign boxing associations also set
the weights at which the championship
bouts in the various classes shall be con-
tested. and also make the rules under which
the bouts are fought.
AS the weights in the three countries
named are uniform and the rules practically
the same, there Is uniformity, and interna-
tional matches are easy to arrange. The
weights as officially adopted and strictly
enforced in England, France and Australia
are: Flyweight. 112 pounds; bantam, 118 I;
feather 1876 light, 1885, welter, 147 mid
die. 16o. and all above heavy.
The result of this uniform enforcement Of
weights and rules makes the arrangement
of championship matches easy and insures
their smooth conduct
In America. where there Is no national
body in control of boxing, scale of
weights and no uDform rules, there is a
condition Of the greatest confusion. Cham
pions refuse TO box unless they receive ex-
travagant purses, and some of them refuse
to box at all unless they are assured of an
easy mark who will make no resistance or
attack. One titleholder who won on a fluke
has steadfastly refused to meet challengers
except in ten-round no-declsion bouts in his
homo town.
While the State boxing associations have
done a good work in ridding the game of
many evils. still State commission has no
jurisdiction over national championships
cannot compel national champion to box
and has no authority to set weishts that
would be observed in bouts for national
titles.
Fror some peculiar reason a majority of
promoters and managers are bitterly op-
posed TO national association and seem
TO prefer to drift along in the present slim
shod and unsatisfactory manner.
