May Delay speciaI Session.

Political leaders are beginning TO ex-
press a doubt as to whether the spe-
cial session OF the legislature will be
held this fall 1t was the original in
tention of Governor Phillip to call the
legislature into session sometime in
November. Some of the members of
the legislature are doubtful as TO
whether the call will be issued at all
and others feel sure that 1t will not be
issued before the first of the year. At
the executive office no information as
TO the date of the calling of the SEES
sion can be obtained.
Some time ago Governor Phillip an
nounced that there would be special
session of the legislature and among
the things that would be taken up
would be the enforcement or non-en-
forcement of the Sunday-closing law.
There were a number of other things
which the governor mentioned might
be taken up in the special session.
Among these were a coditicatiOn of
the drainage laws of the state and n
change in the fishing laws that will
relieve certain Lardships Of the fish
ermen at Green Bay.
1t was even suggested at different
times that there were some financial

Education of Disabled Soldiers.


The Desirahility of Vocational Edu-
cation and Direction for Disabled Sol
diers' is the title of new bulletin by
Miss Elizabeth Upham, Milwaukee,
nowner college, which has just been
issued by the University of Wisconsin
extension division.
The importance of the problem of
the disabled soldier is emphasized in
the pamphlet by the citation of exam
pies which show the mistakes made
by other warning nations in allowing
their disabled soldiers to idle away
their time and become a burden to the
nation as well az duh and dissatisfied
Numerous occupations into which
disabled soldiers may he educated or
re-educated are pointed out. More i'm
portant than the problems of dealing
with those who have lost arms, legs
and eyesight, according to the author
is the problem Of handling those who
have contracted tuberculosis. heart
trouble, or nervous breakdowns in the
war.
The mental outlook of these pa
tents is hard to combat, and work
shops and vocational schools are
strongly advocated in connection with
hospitals in which such men are CON
valescing.
The fact that the United States has
time to prepare for taking care of dis
abled soldiers and helping them to be
af xral IN
stead of a drain on 1t Is emphasized.

s,o36 Insane in Sta
Farmers Saving the Calves.

Report that Wisconsin farmers were
sacrificing heifer calves for the high
price received for veal have been
found untrue by the State Council Of
Defense
The investigation proves that, on
the contrary. more heifer calves are
being retained for raising and the in
creasing of dairy herds than ever be-
fore.
Figures from the Milwaukee stock
yards show an increase In the receipts
for calves, but 1t is estimated that 81
or 30 per cent are male calves. Many
dealers who receive heifer calves are
selecting the well-formed, sound heif-
ers and are selling them TO farmers
at a slight advance over the market
price, so that they go back to the
farms. There was an increase in
April, 1917, of 500 In such sales at the
Milwaukee yards, and an increase of
600 such sales In May. compared with
the same months In 1916.
Reports from livestock shipping
centers in the state indicate that farm
ers are raising as many calves as
their housing facilities and feed sup.
ply will admit
For several years the animal hus-
bandry department of the college of
agriculture has been urging farmers
to raise only pure-bred calves so that
the herds of Wisconsin have gradual
ly been improved. The report of men
connected with the agriculture extern
sion work of the university say In
the report made TO the state council
that the farmers are following this ad-
vice more than ever before
