FAIR TRADE
LEAGUE CAUSES
ARRESTS
Baltimore Men Charged with False
Pretense in Jewelry Auction.

Louis Peral, 27 years old, Of 500
East Baltimore street, a wholesale jew
eler, and Joseph D. Rotchschilds, 55
years old, 1919 Linden avenue, mana
ger and auctioneer, both of Baltimore,
Md, were arrested yesterday by De-
tective Sergeants Cornwen and Ber-
man on a charge of false pretense.
They were held for $1,000 bond each.
c. E. La Vigne, field representative
of the American Fair Trade League,
is the complainant in both cases.
1t is alleged that Peral and Roths-
childs, who came to Washington to
close out at auction the stock of the
late Louis Baum, an old jewelry house
at 707 Seventh street, northwest, put
in lot of cheap jewelry not part of
the Baum stock. Mr.. La Vigne, the
complainant, and Charles J. Columbus,
secretary of the Retail Merchants
Association, say that these arrests are
a part of the campaign organized by
the association for the suppression of
jewelry auction sales by outsiders.

THE journal CUP

More people than ever before will
be interested in the Wisconsin State
fair of 1917. One of the main de-
partments-thato of farming and the
raising of fruits, vegetables and the
like, will be larger, too, than ever be-
fore. The condition of war existing
between this country and Germany has
made the necessity for raising food
stuffs greater than ever, There is
scarcely farmer in the state of Wis
consin that will not have dauble the
crop of former years, and this year
he is raising several kinds of vege-
tables he has not before cultivated.
For this reason, the county exhibits
at the State fair will be larger and
more numerous than in past years.
Counties that have not entered in
competition for The Journal cup, and
blue ribbons in former years, will this
year be early on the ground with their
exhibits.
The cup is beautiful piece of the
silversmith's art. The base is 5 inches
high, while the cup itself is ia
total of 10 inches. From handle to
handle, it measures IL inches.
On one side the lettering is already
done, with the exception of the name
of the county which will receive the
cup for the best exhibit, and reads:
Presented by the Milwaukee Journal
to --- county for the best county
exhibit in the Wisconsin State fair
of 1917"
1t will be on exhibit in one of the
downtown stores just previous to the
fair, which will be from Sept. 9 to Is.

HEN LAYS
golden EGG

The hen that lays the golden egg has
been located in Middletown, Ohio, re-
puted to have more millionaires than
any other town of its size in the state.
One woman, whose sacrifice for the
American Red Cross it is said can not
be measured by the market value O.
her gift, gave one of her highly priced
hens and a dozen eggs to the society,
Red Cross Week. Her gift was auction
ed off for $4,000 The eggs brought
$1,736 to the War Fund-$144.66 each.
The hen brought 1896.
This is probably the highest price
ever paid for eggs.
A wire received at the Red Cross
headquarters in Washington this morn
ing reads, "The purchasers would like
to send the eggs and hen to you to be
auctiOned at either Washington or
New York or by wire throughout the
United States as you may think best.
The hen that laid them can do it again
and she and the eggs should be worth
a hundred thousand dollars to the Red
Cross cause The amount secured for
the hen and eggs is regarded as the
individual contribution of this poor
woman and undoubtedly makes her
relatively the largest subscriber in
the United States" The War Coun-
Gil has not as yet decided whether to
take advantage of the proposition to
auction off the hen and eggs again,
fear having been expressed that the
natural deterioration in the eggs and
the possible loss of productivity in
the hen when removed from her ma
tive manure pile might result in heavy
losses to the Red Cross.

THE NAMINGOF
WISCONSIN
COUNTIES
Rusk and St. Croix.

Rusk County was originally named
Gates, after John L. Gates, formerly
a prominent Milwaukee Lumberman
and capitalist. A dozen years ago
Gates was shorn of his honor by a
tickle commonwealth in order that it
might commemorate a new favorite.
jeremiah Rusk, the person thus favor
ed, was of the most picturesque char
acters in Wisconsin history. Stage
driver, congressman, governor, cabi-
net officer, he is still Familiarity known
in Wisconsin as 'Uncle Jerry"
St. Croix County is named for it's
principal river. This in turn was nam
ed for an early French voyageur who
was wrecked at its mouth. It is one
of the most ancient names on the map
of Wisconsin.

POTATO
RESTRICTIONS
REMOVED

restrictions on importations of pOta
toes into the United States from Cana
da and Bermuda will be removed after
July 1 under an amendment to regula-
tions of the Federal Horticultural
Board, signed recently by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture. The amendment
also permits the importation of pota-
toes from any foreign country into
Hawaii for local use only.
The ruling in regard to Bermuda
and Canada is based on the fact that
inspection of potatoes imported from
those two countries during the last
three years has shown that no serious
potato diseases not already occurring
in the United States exist in those
regions.
Potatoes for local consumption are
to be allowed to enter Hawaii from
any country, since few potatoes are
grown on the islands, and there is
therefore little danger of diseases
damaging local truck crops. All ship
ments of potatoes arriving in Hawaii,
however, still will be inspected before
they can be removed from the docks.
The quarantine against potatoes
from Newfoundland and the islands of
St. Pierre and Miquelon, on account
of the potato-wart disease, remains
in full force and effect.

Of
MONEY WILL
remain HERE

The Liberty Loan is coming back
More than twenty-five Wisconsin
banks have qualified as United States
repositories and those are holding
part of the millions which Wiscon-
sin patriots subscribed to Uncle Sans
war pocket-book.
More than thirty banks will have
qualified within the next week, it was
predicted by one of the states most
prominent bankers. This means that
little if any of the money subscribed
to the loan will leave the state, at
least for some time, and thereby hangs
a tale of prosperity.
When William G. McAdoo, secretary
of the treasury, visited Wisconsin CT
ties in the interest of the loan, he de-
clared that in so far as possible the
funds subscribed would be left in the
care of Wisconsin banks. His promise
is apparently as good as the gold it
self.
Farmers of the state are to benefit
thereby, but not SO much as the manu-
featuring communities. It was from
these latter communities that the
greater part of the loan came. And a
great part of these millions will re-
vert to the pockets of the workers
- L.
for war supplies and the bills will be
paid with this gold. So far as practi-
cable all of this money will be spent
within the state therefrom it came.
Smaller banks of rural communities
are backed up by the larger deposi-
taries and there is certainty that no
community will suffer any great money
deficiency.

PRESIDENT
LINCOLN GREAT
GENERAL

That President Lincoln was the
greatest military genius of the Civil
War is the statement made by Cap
tain Conger, Z. S. A, in a book just
published by the Wisconsin Historical
Society. From his correspondence
with his generals, says Captain Conger
"a very interesting AID thoroly upto-
date book of tactical principles might
be compiled; and it would also be
very witty one, for, with his original
ity Of expression he put his sugges-
tions into language as picturesque as
it was terse and vigorous" Lincoln
in his tactical ideas was not only a
head of his generals but in advance of
his time. His statement of the tacti-
cal problem of the North was 'long
jeered at by pedants," but the author
affirms that the European general
stats of today could not put into
clearer language the guiding tactical
principle by which both of the con-
testants have been acting in the pres
ent war, and by which Mr.. Lincoln
and his subordinates had to act if they
were to win" The author contends
that Lincoln's trancendent military
ability is even yet but dimly appre-
ciated by the American people; and
that eventually his reputation in this
respect will stand as high as it now
does with respect to politics and states

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can betak-
en- out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
