RETURNS AFTER 80 YEARS
Miles L. Hineman of Tomah Was a
Member of "Kid Legislature"
Back in 1887.

Madison The oldest solon in point
of legislative experience, but not in
years, is Miles L. Hineman of Tomah,
who was member of the assembly in
1887, just thirty years ago, and comes
back to the same house for the session
just opened.
Jerry Rusk was governor then;
Ryland, lieutenant governor; Timme,
secretary of state; Harshaw, treas
urer; Estabrook, attorney general;
Trayer, school superintendent; Alley
Peterson, railroad commissioner, and
Phil. Cheek, insurance commissioner,
while T. B. Mills was speaker of what
was termed the "kid legislature" be-
cause of the average youthfulness of
the members.
Mills himself was but 80 years old
and Hineman only six years older,
while w. J. McElroy of Milwaukee,
chairman of the committee on judi
ciary, and thereby floor leader. was but
81 years old.

TOBACCO PROSPECT is GOOD
indications Are That the Acreage in
Rock County in 1917 Will BE Big
ger Than Ever Before.

GAINESVILLE indications are there
will be larger tobacco acreage in Rock
county during 1917 than any year in
the history of the growth of the weed
in Wisconsin.
While but one-third or less of the
1916 crop has been taken down from
the polls, owing to absence of casing
weather, the crops already handled
have given satisfaction to both grow
ers and buyers.
The fact that all the old packings
have been cleaned out of the ware
houses and that the 1916 crop will not
be ready to move until summer indi-
Gates that the price for the coming
crop will be well toward the top prices.

Do I look as wretchedly as you

Mrs. Muskrat.
Mr.. Muskrat did not seem to be in
the least offended. He simply shook
his tail, which is so much like Mr..
Rats, with no fur or hair on it, and
he sighed unhappily.
''When the fall came along their fur
began to improve.

AS Handsome Couple as Could Be


the summer. We don't like it and it
doesn't like us. It's a regular game of
tit-for-tat that we play with the sum-
mer MONTHS
ssAnd still more time went by and
every day Mr.. and Mrs. Muskrat looked
more beautiful. Their fur became very
fine and they knew they were about as
handsome couple as could be found.
'They were very clever too, and
avoided all the traps that were set for
them, and all the ways the big Men
who came out with guns had, they dis
cover ed, and got the best of them every
time
The very idea,' said Mrs. MuslSTcT.
Just because we're handsome they'd
like to use us on their fur, coats and
dresses. / can be just as stylish here
without going on any dress or coat
"They say we keep them warm
said Mr.. Muskrat.
We'll, we can keep ourselvesawarm,'
said Mrs. Muskrat, and they were more
careful than ever not to be caught.
.sHow they disappointed the hunters.
They had been seen and almost caught,
but every time they had been able to
get away and the Men who hunted
were very cross about it.
Those muskrats always get the
best of us. There are two we've seen
again and again. And they're the same
two every time. How smart they arel
But what good fur they would make
"Mr. and Mrs. Muskrat thought that
if they were so smart they would not
make good fur at all They would sim
ply refuse to make good fur!
"'Well squealed Mr.. Muskrat to his
wife, we always have our good bank
to go to for our sleep, and we love to
sleep, don't we, my lover
"tAh yes squealed Mrs. Muskrat.
we do like little nap, and the warm
snow keeps us so comfortable
Daddy" exclaimed Nancy, "do they
sleep under the snow?"
st don't see how they can keep warm
that way" said Nick. "The idea of
calling the snow warm-and yet I've
been warm when I've been buried in
the snow for fun. But for long time
and to sleep there! Ugh!" And
Nick shivered thinking about it.
'sThe Muskrats," said Daddy, "bur-
row under the snow in the side of a
bank and there they sleep during the
winter. But they do not sleep all the
winter like some of the Animals do.
They have to keep awake when danger
is near and they have to be on the look
out that they are not trapped and.
caught.
'And from the way. Mr.. and Mrs.
Muskrat planned everything they did,
and from the way they escaped so
many times from all the Men who were
hunting them, am quite sure they will
live a long time. For if they escaped
from some of the narrow adventures
they have had, ] am sure there are no
more dangerous adventures that they
cannot get away from!
''We can just imagine, too, how often
Mr.. and Mrs. Muskrat call each other
beautiful now that it is winter and
their fur is so perfect

INSURANCE BILLS
ARE INTRODUCED
LEGISLATURE TAKES UP SOCIAL
FIRE AND COMPENSATION
RISK RATES.
THREE MEASURES OFFERED
Senator Bennett and Assembiymer
chappIe and Everett Present Reso-
misunderstanding Has Home
Rule Bill.

Madison-The administration pro,
ject presented to the legislature.
Bills rejecting Gov Philips views
on the state regulation of fire insur-
ance have been introduced by Senator
J. H. Bennett, Assemblyman John G.
Chapple and Assemblyman e. A. Ever
EFT.
Senator Bennett introduced the fire
insurance measure, Mr.. Chapple the
social insurance resolution and bill and
Mr.. Everett the worAmen's compensa-
ton measure, all of which were drawn
by Commissioner of Insurance M. j.
Cleary. This group of legislative rec
concentrations, which will be consid-
cred early, regarded as one of the most
important phases of the season.
Senator Benefits proposition to reg
ulate fire insurance rates provides for
a rating bureau which shall be under
the control of the commissioners of in
surance, all companies writing fire in
surance in this state to be members of
the bureau. The purpose Of the pro-
posed law is to establish reasonable
and fair rates, and prevent discrim.
inatiOn.
Assemblyman Chapple introduced a
resolution and bill to investigate so
cial insurance. The resolution calls
fol the creation of a committee of five
members, three assemblymen and two
senators, with full power to gather
data. The bill provides for the appro-
priation of sum of money sufficient to
carry on the investigation. no specific
amount being mentioned.
Assemblyman Everett's bill to regu-
late the rates of workmen's compensa-
ton insurance calls for the appoint
ment of a second deputy in the insur-
ance department. 1t is proposed to
create compensation insurance board
to be made up of the commissioner OF
insurance, the chairman of the indus
trial commission and the new deputy
commissioner This body, if the bill
becomes a law, will be vested with
power to conduct hearings on the
classification of risks and rates. 1t Is
proposed to establish reasonable rates
and to protect policy holders against
the insolvency of companies engaged
in this business.
Senator David Jennings introduced
the municipal home rule constitutional
amendment in the same form in which
it has been offered in the session here
tofore, as follows:
Cities and villages shall have power
and authority to amend their charters
and adopt new charters and to enact
all laws and ordinances relating to
their municipal affairs subject to the
constitution and general laws of the
state"
Carl Hansen introduced an assembly
bill to increase the poll tax from $3.50
to So.

UPPER STATE ASKS
FOR new NORMAL
FIVE CITIES EXPECTED TO APPLY
TO LEGISLATURE FOR PRO-
POSED SCHOOL.
TWO CITIES IN THE LEAD
Green Bay and RhineIander Will Make
Strongest Bid for Institution
Board of F4egent Silent on
Question.

Madison-The northeastern part of
demand of this legislature for new
normal school, The question was agi-
tated before the last session, but &C
ton was deferred, largely because the
members of the legislature felt that
the school at Eau Claire should be put
into operation before new school was
established. The talk of the session
two years ago and the sentiment ex-
pressed by some of the members this
year would indicate that at least four
cities will file applications: Green Bay,
Rhinelander, Shawano and Amigo, and
possibly Oconto.
Of these two cities, Green Bay and
Rhinelander will be leaders, largely
because of the fact that Senator Tim
othy Burke of Green Bay and Senator
w. T. Stevens of Rhinelander have
large followings in each of the houses.
So far the members of the board OF
normal regents have declined to make
any comment on the situation.
At present, there are nine normal
schools in the state: Eau Claire, La
Crosse, Whitewater, Platteville, Mil
waukee, River Falls, Oshkosh, Super
Tor and Stevens Point. The whole
northeast section between Oshkosh,
Stevens Point, Superior and the north
east boundary of the state, has no nor
NAL The argument is made that this
territory is well enough populated to
support one or more normal schools
and there are indications that the fight
at this session may be between Green
Bay and Rhinelander
