age of the Measure.

Madison-Assembly H. J. Grel
of Johnson Creek presented his argu-
ments in favor of a bill legalizing the
sale of and manufacture of skim milk
cheeses before the assembly commit
tee on agriculture. He said the Wis
consin law permitted the manufacture
of these cheeses in small sizes at the
present time, but he thought this bill
should be passed which would permit
the manufacture of larger cheeses.
at is fallacy to oppose the manu-
facture of a food product like this"
declared Assemblyman Grell. He read
statistics showing the food value of
these cheeses and said it would be an
aid to the poor people to allow this
manufacture.
John Luschinger, Monroe, spoke in
favor of the bill. He said there was
a regular market for these cheeses in
New York. He declared we ought to
make use of the skim milk, by manu-
featuring it into a food product, es-
pecially now that milk is SO high.
George H. Davis, Plymouth, opposed
the passage of the bill. He reviewed
the history of the sale of cheese from
Wisconsin. He told how this market
was formerly held by the state Of
New York and how Wisconsin had
gradually obtained a foothold in the
east because of the superior product
offered for sale. He feared great
competition in the west in the near
future.

PLAN Pearl. BUTTON
PLANT At OSHKOSH
MOVEMENT BEING INAUGURATED
TO ORGANIZE MANUFACTURE
ING COMPANY.
CLAM SHELLS WILL BE USED
Dredging in Wolf and Fox Rivers Said
to Have Become Big Indus
try - Pearls Are often
Found.

Oshkosh-A movement is under way
here to establish a plant to manufac-
ture pearl buttons from clam shells
taken from tbe Wolf and Fox Rivers in
this vicinity. Shell gathering is an ex-
tensive industry at Fremont, on the
Wolf river, near here, most of the
shells going to button factories at La
Crosse.
Guy Hilbert, residing at Hilbert's
landing, where the Wolf empties into
Lake Poygun, is one of the most active
dredgers for clam shells on these wa
tiers, and he estimated that last sea-
son from $4,000 to $4,000 worth of
shells were shipped from Fremont
alone. A number of crews of men
dredged last season, some of them lift
ing from 200 to $50 pounds of shells a
day. These bring $23 ton delivered
at Weyauwega.
The shells on the Wolf river are
heavier and tougher than those on the
Fox, it is said, and hence are more
valuable. These can be made into but
tons having four thread-holes. The
softer Fox river shells are used most
ly for buttons with two thread holes.
A scow is used and this floats with the
current in the dragging operations. 1t
is said the supply of clam shells will
last twenty years at the present rate
of consumption.
Once in while a pearl is found that
can be disposed of to the jewelry
trade, although clam pearls are not as
valuable as oyster pearls.

WANTS UNIVERSAL TRAINING
AssembIyman DonnelIy Has Resolu-
ton Which He Will Submit to
Lawmakers at Madison.

Madison-The senate of Illinois has
adopted a resolution indorsing the
principal of universal military train
ing, and Assemblyman John P. Don
nelly, Milwaukee, knows of no reason
why Illinois or any other state has
any jump on Wisconsin over patriot
ism.
He has prepared a similar resolu-
ton for introduction in the assembly,
and by it's terms the legislature will
be given opportunity to indorse the
very thing President Wilson is expect
ed to recommend to congress.
Following is the text of the resolu-
ton Donnelly intends to introduce:
"That the general assembly of the
state of Wisconsin is in accord with,
and favors the principle of universal
military training and requests our
senators and representatives in con-
gress to employ every effort to secure
the enactment by congress of a law
establishing in the United States OF
America a system of universal and
compulsory military training, and that
copies of this resolution be transmit
ted to our senators and representa-
tives in congress"

EnulandIs Great Arsenal.

Though the vast arsenal of Wool
wich is at our doors, few of US who
sleep in London have any real sense of
it's colossal presence, it's immense sig
nificance, the tremendous force it
stands for. Its origin dates back to
other wars, but when the present war
began its W 1rkers were only $4,000 in
all, without a woman in the number.
Now there are 1900 women and
$4,000 men.
That is not all. Notwithstanding it's
fierce reality Woolwich is a symbol
rather than a geographical expression.
To that center of the Thames, 80
miles by 21S, with its numberless
workshops, its endless avenues and it's
40 miles of internal railway, there
radiate the activities of scores of as
sociate factories round about, so that
10000 workers more, chiefly women
$4,000 in alD, are feeding this almost
fathOmless reservoir.
Woolwich is a great mechanical
octopus with arms that reach over.
across and around London and the
country about it.-London Times.
