TEACHERS MINIMUM PAY S45
Governor Signs Bill Naming Lowest
Salary Under Apportionment of
State School Fund.

Madison-The legislature has made
possible many school teachers of the
state receiving an increase in salary
during the coming year. The legisla-
ture has passed and the governor has
just signed the bill liking the mini
mum salary of teachers at $45 a
month.
The first minimum salary law was
enacted in Wisconsin in 1913 fixing
the salary of teachers at not less than
$40 a month School men claim that
the minimum salary law has brought
better teachers into the profession.
In order to enforce the provision for
this minimum salary the law as just
signed by the governor provides that
mo apportionment of school funds
shall be made to any city, village or
town. unless the common school
shall have been taught by qualified
teacher paid a salary of not less than
$45 a month.
Gov. Philip has also signed the
Everett bill providing for co-ordina-
ton of state work and of department.
al cooperation. The law provides
that the departments shall exchange
information, and may jointly employ
or make assignments of employees as
the best interests of the public serv-
ice require.

ELIHU ROOT, HASTEN TO

Seek to Avert Collapse of slav Repub.
Iic-WiII Pledge Aid of Ameri-
ca in Fight for New
Peace Ideals.

Washington, June 5.-The American
mission to Russia, headed by Elihu
Root, arrived at Russian port.
Announcement of the safe passage
Of the commission was made on Sun
day by Secretary Daniels, who re-
ceived dispatch from the commander
of the vessel on which the journey was
made.
Former Senator Root and his col
leagues will proceed to Petrograd inn
nediateIy, arriving there when the
new government is hemmed in on all
sides by Reorganization, royalist plots,
radical uprisings and lack Of power
to meet the situation which threat
ems to force separate peace.
This statement was drafted by Pres
ident Wilson. 1t is addressed to Rus
STA for two main reasons-to brace
her by assurance of Americas aid and
to convey to the Liberals Of Russia
the knowledge America is fighting for
the same ideals which they demand as
part of any peace treaty.
The Wilson statement was cabled
several days ago, but has been with
held from publication in America in
courtesy to RUSSIA.

Garget, or Inflammation of the ewes
udder, is a common trouble at lamb
ing time, and it should be given imme-
date attention. The udderS Of heavy
milking ewes are likely to become In
famed and as a result the eve may
have milk fever. Overlooking of grain,
colds, chills, and lying on wet floors
are some Of the causes of this cOndi-
ton. When discovered, the ewes I'D
der should be bathed with hot water
by means of wooden cloths. After the
udder has been dried, it can be rubbed
with turpentine and lard, or with one
half ounce of lead acetate dissolved i'm
one quart of water The udder should
be kept wet with acetate for half a
day. 1t should be 1nilked out thor
oughly each time the application is
made. It is also advisable to give the
eve good dose of epson salts as soon
as the trouble is noticed.

TOAsK FOR BROADER POWER
State Council of Defense Wants Pres
ent Law Amended-BiII on the
Subject May Be introduced.

Madison-An entirely new law may
be drafted covering the powers of the
State Council of Defense and also
clearly defining the powers of county
councils in the matter. This will be
done, or bill will be introduced, very
literally amending the present law.
There are many powers needed by
the Council of Defense which are not
covered by the law creating the coun-
Gil, and the need of wider powers for
the council was discussed at a meet
ing on this matter by the State Coun-
Gil of Defense, it being practically de-
cided to ask the legislature for broader
powers.
A bill on the subject will probably
be introduced within a few days and
will unquestionably be passed by the
legislature without much discussion.
Just what the terms of this new bill
will be cannot yet be said, but it will
probably give the council broader pow
ers regarding the control and manage
ment of affairs likely to be prominent
factors in the war situation.
It is thus likely more definite powers
will be given in regard to the control
and sale of foodstuffs; also in regard
to the disposition Of state labor during
the war crisis.

BILL FOR NORMAL.
FUNDS IS PASSED
SCHOOLS FAIL IN EFFORTS TO
GET LARGER SUM THAN
RECOMMENDED.
HOT DEBATE IN ASSEMBLY
Measure Allows, With Revolving Fund,
$1,o2s, 61s for 1918 and $3.50, 17s
for 19f8-19-Bill Now Goes
to Governor.

Madison-Despite efforts of the nor
NAL schools to get larger appropria-
ton than recommended by the joint
committee on finance, the bill recon-
mended by the committe and passed
by the senate was concurred in by the
house, IS to %. The measure now
goes to the governor. This appropria-
ton, as explained by e. A. Everett,
deals fairly with the various normal
schools and increases the expenditures
of two years ago by $4,000. Includ-
ing revolving funds, the bill appropri-
ates $1,023,618 for 1917-18 and $685.
176 for 1888.
v. " Miller introduced substitute
to raise by about $155,773 the increase
tee, and it was upon this bill the as
sembly fought several hours, develop
ing charges of questionable tactics by
normal school presidents to overtuTn
the report of the committee.
Everett pointed out that one provi-
sion of the Miller substitute provided
$4,000 for the Improvement of a nor
NAL school site in the city of Rhine
lander, where, he said, the state pro-
poses to build school, but up to this
time owns no Site Everett charged
that the new bill was imperfect and
that it set up discrepancies that could
not be explained.
The house by a vote of 81 to 80 re-
fused to reject the Miller substitute. A
- HI 10
SO, refused to adopt the substitute.
The original bill was then advanced to
third reading. Immediately after the
rules were suspended and the bill was
concurred in.

centrated feeds are the chief sources
Of protein, and the mixture should be.
made TO fit the class in which the
roughage belongs.
A few simple rules for making up q
grain mixture are given briefly below
1. Make up the mixture to fit the
roughage available. With roughage
entirely of a low-protein class the
grain should contain approximately
from 10 to % per cent of protein,
while with exclusively high protein
roughage the grain ration need con-
tain only Is to 16 per cent.
2. Select grains that will furnish
the various constituents, especially
protein, at the least cost, using home
grown grains if possible.
3. Be sure that the mixture is light
and bulky.
4. The mixture should be pal
atable.
5. See that the grain has the
proper physiological effect upon the
COW.
All these suggestions should be
kept in mind in order to obtain the
best possible combination of grains.

Madison = Gov. Philip has sent a
message to the senate, yetoing the
Wilcox bill, appropriating $52,500 an
nuaIly for the construction of armor-
les for the Wisconsin National guard.
The reasons of the governor for We
toing the bill were that the measure
would add to the burden Of the tax
payer a sum for military purposes not
absolutely necessary at this time when
he will be called upon to contribute
for war purposes to the limit of his
ability to pay, that it would take men
from the field of active production
where they are sorely needed at the
present time, and that it would COM
pei the state to purchase materials
for the construction of buildings at a
time when the cost thereof is far
above normal prices. The senate
postponed action on the veto. It is
not believed that the bill will be
passed over the governors Veto

872 TO GRADUATE FROM ~"
President Van Hise to Award Diplo-
mas to Seniors on June 20.
Many to Be Absent.

Madison-On June 90 President
Charles r. Van Hise will present ST.
diplomas to seniors at the commence
ment exercises of the University of
Wisconsin.
The feature of this years COM
mencement will be the great number
of seniors who will be graduated IN
abseatia 1t is estimated that sheep
skins will have to be mailed to over
800 men graduates. Over this number
have already left for some sort of war
service, more than 200 being at Fort
Sheridan President Van Hise is ne
gotiating with the commandment at the
fort to see if it will be possible. to get
the seniors who are in training there
to come back for graduation. 1t is
quite doubtful, however, if the men
will be given leave, and in that case
their diplomas will be sent to them at
the camp.
The commencement exercises will
begin with the baccalaureate sermon
by the Rev. Hugh Black of the Union
Theological seminary on Sunday, June
II. Monday will be class reunion day,
when all classes represented at the
commencement, including the alumni
back for their annual reunion will hold
meetings, picnics and exercises.
Tuesday will be alumni day, with a
parade through the streets of Madison,
a banquet and the annual alumni ball.
The commencement exercises will
take place on Wednesday.

CARE OF HORSES SHOULDERS
Some Timely Suggestions Given by
Ohio College of AgricuIture-Be
Careful Of Collars.

The Ohio College of Agriculture
gives some timely suggestions for the
care and protection of horses shout
ders:
Do not use sweat pads.
Keep collars clean of dandruff and
dirt, especially if soreness develops.
Sponge the shoulders of work horses
with cold water at night after work
If they are sweaty at noon, sponge
at noon also.
Care should be taken in fitting coli
lars on work horses. Many collars are
too big or too loose. If the withers
are fat or especially full, the fitting OF
collars will need extra care.
