MAKE PLANS FOR
CASTING CONTEST
New SportSmen'S 0rganiza-
ton Contemplate Event
Some Time in Spring.

Tentative plans for a casting con-
test. in which IL is expected that all
OF the sportsmen in ST Joseph
county will participate. were dis
cussed al the meeting OF the ST.
Joseph County Fish and Game Pro
receive association. held i'm the
county commissioners room % the
court house last night
To is planned 10 hold the contest
some time early in the spring The
detailed plans will be worked out
az the next meeting Of the associa-
ton. which viii be held at the call
~ the president some time after the
hrst OF the year.
Get 50 New Members.
Pres't Gus Haslanger of the asso-
ciztion reported that nearly so new
members had been secured since
the first meeting Of the association
held three weeks ago last night, and
ne predicted a much larger increase
in the number Of new members be-
fore the next meeting Of the asso-
citation.
1t the meeting last night IL was
pointed out by several OF the mem
bers OF the association that a
change IN the fish and game laws
OF the state is imperative If the
propagation OF FISH is to be made
success. For one thing il was
pointed ont there is now no closed
season for fish in this state and it
was argued that this is one OF the
crying needs.
II was also declared that there is
great laxness in the enforcement of
the game laws that are on the stat
ute books. For instance, IL was
stated that there are more rabbits
killed without "a shot being fred
than there are with powder and
shot. 1t is against the law in this
state 20 hunt with ferrets, and the
finding in a persons possession a
ferret is prima facia evidence that
that person has been hunting
against the statutes.

To Probe Lake Conditions.

c. NJ. Larson, chief engineer of the
railroad commission, viii make an in
vestigation to determine causes of the
high water in Lac Kegonsa.
The commission has already re-
ceived a report on conditions and
found that much, If not ALL of the
trouble is due to the lack of dredging
in the river connecting the lakes, and
to the unusually wet spring.
The river is choked with weeds and
mud. AS a result much of the low
land adjoining all the lakes is under
water.
In Madison, Birmingham park has
been the chief sufferer.
City Engineer Parker announced
that the locks on Lake Mendoza will
be closed for short period to relieve
the situation.
Mr.. Larson has suggested that a
general drainage district be incorpo-
rated to handle the situation.

WAKE HUGE PROFIT IN COINS
Two Men Who Bought Old Collection
Expect to Realize More Than
$500C0 on Deal.

Two San Francisco business men
who bought a collection of 1000 old
coins from the Society of California
Pioneers for $4,000 and recently sold
two of these for $4,000, with the ex-
pectation of realizing approximately
$4,000 more on the remainder, have
created something of a sensation
among the pioneers as result OF the
speculation.
The Pioneer society had for years
kept it's coin collection in glass cases
In the United States mint here, where
thousands of persons had viewed it.
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
department wanted more room in the
building and ordered the collection
taken out.
1t was explained at the office Of the
society that it was deemed best to sell
the collection for $4,000 rather than
move it into their building with watch
man, insurance and other expenses.

HOGS TO REDUCE FOOD WASTE
Municipal Piggery Declared Equally al
Sanitary and More Profitable Than
Garbage Reduction Plant.

When food is in such present and
nrospective demand as it now is, waste
sbould be kept down to the frreducible
minimum and unpreventaDle 1000
waste utilized to the maximum. DO
their very best in food saving, urban
nouulations pass immense volumes or
waste food materials to the garbage
can every day.
The hog volunteers to utilize NUM-
cipal food wastes In the quickest, SIM
olest, cheapest and most prohtaDle
manner, or if preferred he will submit
20 seIectiye draft or indiscriminate con-
,cription. A ready market offers Sl6
Der hundredweight for the end product.
The hog is not a very sentimental
animal, but there has been no end or
sentiment against utilizing him for
garbage disposal. Quite aside from
war emergencies, it is high time that
this kind of sentiment gave way to
common sense and scientific knowledge,
saws the Engineering News Record.
If modicum of the scientific knowl-
edge required to design, build and OPP
crate a garbage-reduction plant were
devoted to q municipal piggery, the
sanitary results would be at least
equally good, while it is possible that
the profits per ton of garbage would be
considerably higher.
For years past the garbage OF many
American cities has been successfully
fed to hogs. The practice would have
been adopted in many other cities and
continued where abandoned, had it not
been for jealous but ignorant opposi-
lion on the ground that the practice is

Grim Humor Of the Front.

"Once after an attack and a slight
advance of the French many German
dead were left on the field. Among
these was a large, fat, red-haired Ger
man who had fallen on bit of rising
ground in a good place for observa-
tion," says Ernest Peixotto in "Scrib-
ners.'' at occurred to the colonel
that French observer might be use
full at this point. The camouf1eurs
therefore made a most beautiful, fat,
red-haired German corpse-I know you
are too good an artist to see any con-
tradiction of terms here-and that
night they crawled out with it to
where the fat German lay. They threw
rope around the dead man, dragged
him away, and left him behind pile
of rocks, and they then placed the
French observer in his place with a
rope attached, so that they could pull
him back"

Farmers Act in siIo Campaign.

The silo building campaign waged
by the college of agriculture and the
county councils of defense is resulting
in a widespread movement to conserve
this years corn crop.
Wisconsin's present quota of 10000
silos or one to every third farm will
be greatly increased over the ratio Of
any previous year. Agricultural agents
even hope for $4,000 silos before the
end of 1918.
In response to inquiries by X. l..
Hatch, director of the agricultural ex-
tension service, and A. w. Hopkins,
secretary of the Livestock Breeders
association, manufacturers have sent
assurances that prices will not be
greatly advanced over former years
and that there will be sufficient mate
rial TO meet the demand.
Wisconsin bankers are repeating
their promises to loan money for silo
construction. The bankers stand Is
backed by an appeal to farm patriot
ism and business sense by Magnus
Swenson, chairman of the state coun-
ell Of defense.

New Lsms on Child Lsnor


one of the new laws nf Wisconsin
that is beginning to attract statewide
interest is the new child labor law.
This measure attracted very little
attention in either house of the legls-
lature and was passed without any OPP
position. Now, however, many IN
quiries are coming TO the Industrial
commission upon the scope of the new
law, and many manufacturers are en-
deavoring to ascertain what they must
do to comply with its provisions.
Permits for Minors.
The most important change made Is
that after September l, 1917, all minors
under seventeen years of age must Sc
cure permits to go to work. The only
exceptions are for farm work, for do
nestle service of a casual nature, and
for other kinds of domestic service In
cities in which there are no vocational
schools. Under the old law only chill
dren up to sixteen years of age had to
secure permits. AS originally passed
by the legislature, the new law pro-
vfded that children up to eighteen years
Of age must secure permits. 1t also
provided that the act should go into ef-
feet Immediately upon passage. Upon
representation by the industrial COM
mission that these provisions would
work great hardships to employers, the
governor refused TO sign this measure
until the legislature had amended 1t to
make the permit age seventeen instead
of eighteen years and not to have the
new law become effective until Sep
TENDER l, 1917.
Old System Confusing.
All permits hereafter are to be issued
by the industrial commission and by
such judges and other persons as the
commission may designate to issue
permits. Previously, county and mu-
nicipal judges have had joint authority
with the commission to issue child
labor permits. This dual system led
to much confusion and frequently per-
mits were issued illegally with the re-
suit that the employers of such chill
dren subjected themselves TO heavy
penalties. Arrangements are now be-
ing made by the commission for the
appointment of judges and other per-
sons in each community to issue child
labor permits.
Another change made by the new
law is that striking out the provision
of the old law allowing employers to
work children of permit age S1a hours
per day on five days Of the week, pro-
vided they were given Saturday after
| moons off. Under the new law,
straight eight-hour day for children I'M
der sixteen years of age is provided.
with limit of 49 hours per week.
Increase Schooling Hours.
The legislature has also increased
the hours per week during which chill
dren working under permits must go to
continuation school Hitherto 1t has
been five per week. hereafter it will be
eight per week for children under six
teen years of age and four per week
for children from sixteen to seven
teen years of age.

Explains Home Guard.

To acquaint the people with the de-
tails of the organization of the new
state Guard, the state council of de-
tense gave out the following statement
by Adjutant General HOlway:
1.-The statute law of Wisconsin au-
thorizes the governor in his discretion
to organize, arm and equip a state
Guard equal in size to that which
may have been called into federal ser
vice at any time by the United States
government.
Under this provision, the governor
has directed the organization of 81
companies, assigned in three regi-
ments. About one-half of these com
panies are already organized and the
state, fortunately, has on hand, with
which to arm them, about 1,50O of the
old model Springfield rifles. These are
not modern in the sense of the maya
zine guns of today, but very we'll serve
the purposes of a state or home
guard"
