OWEN DEFEATS MARSHALL
Elected Justice Of Wisconsin Supreme
Court BY a Big MaJority-Suc-
eessor to Be ni2med.

Milwaukee = Atty-Gen. Walter C.
Owen has been elected justice of the
Wisconsin supreme court by major
ity estimated at from 5000 to 10000
over Justice Ruget D. Marshall. Jus.
tice Marshall conceded Mr.. Owens
election. Managers of the Marschall
campaign. however, declared that the
Owen majority would not be more
tran 5000.
Official figures from forty-seven
counties and unofficial figures from IF
teen counties give owen lead of g.
900 over Marshall. OF these counties
Owen carried thirty-nine and Marshall
twenty-three. Counties still to be
heard from are Adams, Polk, Dodge,
Forest, Iowa, Juneau, st. Croix, Yer.
non and Villas.
When Mr.. Owen ascends to the
bench his successor will be appointed
by Gov. E. l.. Phillips to fill the unex.
pired term, according to opinions of
leading lawyers in the state, including
Mr.. Owen.
Mr.. Owen was elected with the Re-
publican state ticket last November
for term of two years. 1t is con.
tended that no special election to
name his successor will be necessary
This is Mr.. Owens third term in the
office. He was elected in 1912 and re-
elected in 1914 and 1916.
The attorney general was elected
for ten years. beginning Jan. l, 1918,
at an annual salary of $500.

FOR SKIM MILK CHEESE BILL
War Emergency May Change Attitude
of Wisconsin Lawmakers To-
ward the Product

Madison-An effort will be made to
get the Iill which has been drawn by
Henry Greii for the purpose of per.
hitting the manufacture and sale Of
skinned milk cheese in the state, out
of the committee on agriculture with a
favorable report. The fact that war
has been declared and il is now known
that the United States must marshal
all its resources of every kind, will
probably help this bill greatly, as the
skim milk products which this state
can produce in time OF necessity, is
large.
There is some opposition to this bill
from the agricultural counties of the
state, owing to the Misrepresentation
which was INDUCED in two years age
about the measure. At that time there
vas a decided effort to make the pee
pie of the state believe that the bill
was a filled cheese measure and the
proposition was to permit the manu-
facture of filled cheese in Wisconsin
This bill, however, is nothing of the
hIhh siAih thh Nilpi Z 10 btiiS AiubH hON
to show the farmers of the state its
real meaning.
The bill will simply allow the manu-
facture of skim milk cheese in the
state with the understanding that the
cheese so manufactured shall be plain
ly marked as skim milk cheese so
that there can be no possibility of
anybody misunderstanding its char.

TO RUSH WORK AT MADISON
at Once to Clear Desks for
Emergency War Measures.

Madison--A movement is on foot In
the Wisconsin legislature to have tho
important bills now pending before
the legislature handled by a commit.
tee of the whole to insure prompt &C.
ton, and to definitely postpone all but
the most important measures, such as
appropriation bills and the like.
The object of the proposed action is
TO clear decks for any work that may
be necessary on war measures and &c
allow the farmer members of both
houses to get back to their homes
and make ready to aid the country ir
every way possible by way of the soil
No definite steps have yet beer
taken on this plan. but It is beinf
talked freely and may be put in con
crete form in the near future.

Old. Looks !?

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid In the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or bald
head in early years is, indeed, often a
sign Of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing in young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest: Drink cOpiously Of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as 1t is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
sny drug store a package Of Anuric,
double strength, which is to be taken
before meals, in order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful eff
fects of backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt, due to uric acid In the blood
should quickly disappear after treat
ment with Anuric.

VOTE FOR DEFENSE COUNCIL
Emergency War Measure Is Passed
BY the State Senate Without
Any Opposition.

Madison-Without dissenting vote
the senate passed the Everett bill ere
ating a state council for defense, a
war emergency measure in which Wis
consin leads all other states. All
rules were suspended upon motion of
Senator Wilcox, and the senate had
passed the bill and it was on its way
to the governor within five minutes.
"The earliest moment that this bill
is passed, the better for the state"
said Senator Wilcox.
Senator Bennett said that the sena-
tors understood the bill and suggested
that reading be dispensed with. Sen
ator jennings made this motion and
the roll call was begun. The only de-
lay was caused because one or two
senators were not in the chamber, and
the clerk waited until they could re-
cord their vote.

MORE SICKNESS IN MARCH
of the Communicable Diseases
over February.

Madison A very pronounced in
crease in cases of communicable dis
ease during March is indicative Of
the unusual prevalence OF sickness
throughout the state. March reports
show large increases in most of the
communicable diseases over February
The reports credit Milwaukee coun.
ty with GA cases of scarlet fever in
March, an increase of 220 over Febru-
airy. Measles, whooping cough and
tuberculosis show the same high Incl
dence.
AS a fatal disease, smallpox stands
out in this state in distinct contrast to
such ailments as diphteria, typhoid
whooping cough, scarlet fever and tu-
berculosis. Vaccination and prompt
quarantine are held accountable for
the stamping out of smallpox as an
epidemic disease in Wisconsin.

NEW HIGHWAY BILL
EXPECTED TO PASS
GOOD ROAD ADVOCATES WATCH
MADISON WHERE MEASURE
is PENDING.
GOOD PROGRESS REPORTED
Marks the Second Great Step In High.
way Legislation and Improve
ment of Trunk Line Sys-
TEN In Wisconsin.

Madison Good roads enthusiasts
throughout the state have their eyes
focused on Madison where the state
trunk highway bill, which is pushed by
the Good Roads association of Wis
cousin, is pending before the senate.
The bill has made splendid progress
and has been reported out unanl-
mously by the joint committee on
finance, indicating that it will receive
favorable consideration.
The state trunk highway bill marks
the second great step in highway leg
islation and improvement in Wjscon-
sin. The state aid highway Law PASS
ed in 1911 marked the first step. Prior
to that the town was the sole master
and arbiter of road construction and
maintenance, the highway unit was
the road district, and the local path
master was supreme. 1t is not neces;
sary to discuss the inefficiency, the
wastefulniss of this system. With the
passage of the state aid highway law,
Wisconsin moved forward.
This law constituted the county as
the unit of highway planning, con-
struction and maintenance. It's vital
weakness was the fact, that while the
county through its board laid out the
highway system, each town decided
each year what portion of the system
thus laid out should be constructed.
Necessarily this resulted in the piece
meal and fragmentary highway system
SO often discussed in recent months
1850 miles of road built in the last
five years in 5000 pieces.
The state aid highway law was local
in its aspects and outlooks. Its pur-
pose was the development of the coun-
ty road which necessarily included the
main arteries in the town. 1t built
for local needs. 1t did not meet the
demands of modern traffic. The mo-
tor vehicle has made the journey an
enlarged and enduring one; 1t has
wiped out or neutralized all mere town
and county lines. It's scope is state
wide, even nation wide. The demand
on every hand was for trunk lines or
continuous highways, such as had
been developed in the eastern states.
The trunk line highway bill was draft
ed to solve this problem to meet this
demand.

SUFFRAGE BILL Is PASSED
Wisconsin Upper House Favors Ref
erendum on Question of Bal
lots for Women.

Madison - The senate passed the
Skogmo bill for a referendum in No
vember 1918, on equal suffrage. The
vote was 20 to II, in favor of the bill.
When the measure was advanced to
engrossment, the impression prevailed
that the vote was more of a compli-
ment to Senator Skogmo than seri-
GUS expression of the senate on the
question of suffrage. Skogmo, how
ever, seemed certain of his ground
and moved for a suspension of the
rules so that the bill could be placed
on the calendar for final passage.
There was brief call of the house.
was passed following speeches by Sen
ator Burke, Bensey and Albers in op-
position to the bill.

Plans Approved by Secretary

Madison-The Everett bill for a
state council of defense was advanced
to engrossment in the assembly after
a day in which patriotic spirit of war
times was an impressive feature.
Fifty-eight members voted for It,
Hansen refused to support the meas

Final passage of the bill in the
house is certain. There will be no Sc

The purpose of the council will be
to ascertain the resources of the state

cooperate with the national defense
council in the big work of modifying
economic resources.
