TOOPEN7
STREET NORTH

The fact that Seventh street north
is to be extended down through the
low land to Drake street is a good
thing and everybody will be glad of it,
but while this is being done they
should complete the job and extend
Eighth street north the same way as
thetravel on Sth st. is 100 to 1 what it
is on Seventh street. The people going
to the Catholic church and Parochial
school all along Eighth street south
are many compared with those on
Seventh street. The Street Commit
tee should continue the good work and
grade down Eighth street to Drake,
which will be only half the expense of
Seventh street. Both of these streets
need the same opening conditions that
are very much needed. Why not do
the work all at one time and finish a
good job?

The Compensation
Bill IS Merely an
Equal Rights Bill

3 ME socaled Compensation Bill now before
the Wisconsin Legislature might be called by
any other name. It doesn't grant compensa-
ton to anybody for anything. It only grants the
right to sue. That is right every other citizen
enjoys-to go into court and ask payment for
injury or damage sustained It might better be
called an Equal Rights Bill.
It could be called a Legal Corrective Bill for it
only corrects the statutes which today discrimi-
nate against liquor men, denying them the other
wise universal right of citizens to bring civil action
for damages or losses
If you are run down by a street car or auto
mobile, compensation or payment for your in
juries is not handed to you. You have to prove
your case in court But the point is right here
you have the privilege and opportunity of doing
So The legal avenue is opened to you. You are
allowed to sue for damages.
And that is all The so-called Conper7-
satior bill provides. 1t does not grant
Compensation to brctoers or anybody
else in case Of Prohibition. 1t pro-
Uides no payment and carries no ap-
preparation. 1t only opens the legal
l0ay so that The man or corporation
effected can 60 into the Circuit Court
and ask for hearing Of his CLAIM,
for damages Then he must prove
his case before jury, Just the same
as any other petitioner.
And you sit on the jury. You grant him a
measure of Compensation or you do not according
to the evidence.
Is there anything unreasonable or unfair in
that?

rests, says writer in an exchange.
Combining these two essential quail
ties almost perfectly. the Plymouth
Rock has no successful rival as util
ity fowl. AS meat producer 1t has
lots of size without coarseness, is
very hardy and rapid grower; while
the meat is more like that of turkey
than like the ordinary run of chickens.
AS an egg producer its only rival is
the Leghorn. This statement is abun.
dainty proven by the competitive con
tests of recent years, while as winter

INFLUENCE COLOR OF BUTTER
Markets Demand Yellow Tint Which
10 Supplied by Use Of Dyes or
Character Of Cows Feed.

Although 1t is fact that some dairy
even though it may be no richer in
fat. the thing Of greatest influence in
color. is the kind of feed the cows
are getting. Market demands call for
a yellow butter, which is supplied in
the creamery by the use of certain
harmless vegetable dyes, the use OF
which dairy laws rightly permit
The color also can be fed into the
milk and make the use of dyes un.
necessary. Carrots, for example, color
milk and cream quickly. One of the
natural coloring materials in milk and
butter is called carotin, from carrots,
and this material is found in many
food materials. 1t is plentiful in fresh
green grass, hence the milk colors
up we'll in early spring. Alfalfa hay,
cured to have bright green color,
contains good SUPPLIES of carotin, which
appears in the cream as a result.
Hay which has lost this green color,
dry corn fodder, silage, straw, vel.
low corn and white, wheat, wheat
bran, cottonseed meal and other milled
feeds contain practically none. and
cream from COWS so fed will produce
light colored butter unless artificial
coloring is supplied. The color adds
nothing to the value or digestibility
OF butter. save in ones mind, but the
market demands a yellow butter all
the year round and the color must
either be supplied in the feed or In
the creamery
