renee Whittet, Edgerton, and AS
sembyman +. A. Everett, Eagle
River, are authority for the above.
They declare that while such a
proposition has been discussed
there isn't any prospect of this ses-
sion taking any action.
The question is receiving some
agitation in Illinois where il is CON
tended that southern states are al
lowed comparatively more electoral
votes than other states, despite the
fact that such states as Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan,
Indiana and other states are several
times as large in population as
some states in the south, but vet
are unable to hold a comparatively
larger representation III the elec-
tOral college than these states.

The report of Port Collector
Burnhome shows that the marine
commerce of Ashland for the recent
season Of navigation was valued at
over S35. 500 900, practically twice
that of any previous season Even
in the early nineties, when the lum-
beI industry was in its prime, the
business OF the harbor did not
amount to more than twenty mil
lion in any one year.
There were small boats in abund
ance in those days, but their ton
mage was small. The tonnage OF
the 2 ,l36 vessels that navigated the
harbor last season footed up t.
1876 900, while the cargo tonnage
was of course much larger. Ore
shipments alone were 8,o57oo0
tons, a half million tons more than
Escauaba $ record and over twice
Marquette S record. In addition,
over 7o0.oo0 tons Of coal was re
ceived on the local docks, and ship

One OF the most important pieces
of legislation to come before the
senate committees this week was
the Skogmo bill requiring that the
weight of packages shall be placed
on the wrapper. The measure has
the approval of State Dairy and
Food Commissioner G. J. Weigle,
who appeared before the senate
committee on state affairs on Tues
day to ask the enactment of the
legislation.
According to the state dairy and
food department the measure is de
signed to promote tairer dealing
between buyer and seller to elm
mate fraud and short weight in
package goods and to protect the
honest merchant and manufacturer
from dishonest competition This
bill compels the butcher to place
the weight of the meat sold on the
sales slip. 1t Compels the packer to
sell his ham and bacon net weight,
exclusive of the four or six ouuces
of wrappers and it requires all COM
modities in package form to be
marked in terms of weight, meas
tire or count.
In an authorized statement from
the dairy and TODD department it
declares there is no valid reason
why the manufacturer of food stutis
i'll package form should be requir-
ed to state the amount in the pack
age for the information OF the pub
lie, and the manufacturers of many
other commodities be exempted
The Skogmo bill is similar to law
now existing in New York state.
Its constitutionality has been up
held III the New York courts and
according to the testimony Of the
New York weights and measure
department it has saved the people
of that state s. 900 annually on
packing products which were wrap
ped in heavy wrapping paper

That there is no chance of lower
prices for perhaps years to come,
and that the farmers must there
fore devote their attention to more
economical and efficient methods
of stock raising was one of the
most sensational phases of the farm
ers week at the University of Wis
consin.
1t is absolutely true that prices
for live stock today are higher than
they have ever been, that there is
less meat on the average animal,
which means higher prices for our
meat, and what is more important,
that there is no immediate chance
of any lower prices. At that the
farmer is not making money, and
has no growing interest in the rails
ing OF stock for the packer, because
the cost of feeding cattle is absorb
ing all of the higher prices that he
gets for his stock. This was the
comment today of A. w Hopkins.
agricultural editor of the Universe
ty of Wisconsin upon a live stock
review issued for the stock raisers
at the conference by Clay, Robin
son & Co, a Chicago stock yards
firm. Nh Clay warned that if
prices are high now, they are to lie
higher, his warning letter stating
There is no doubt that we are
killing our beef faster than we are
producing it, and it surely can have
but one meaning, and that is con
tinued high. if not higher prices.
Receipts are not running as heavy
as a year ago and this can have but
one meaning that available sup
plies are decreasing, and a short
age is developing without doubt.
The average beef animal today does
not carry as much actual meat as
the average of a year ago Demand
upon our supply from abroad are Of
a continued liberality with no
home diminution in consumption
We have made further serious in
roads upon our beef supplies, and
are daily cutting down our potential
beef makers in the steady sacrifice
regardless Of their condition

HABITS.

Few people realize what habits are
caused from. If your child. holds his
mouth open, squints one eye, shrugs
his shoulder, the parents call them
habits. He may hold his mouth open
because Of obstruction of the nose,
squints one eye because that eye is
defective, shrug his shoulders when
he has some spinal trouble, twist his
head one side to read because of some
eye defect. Don't neglect these things.
They are symptoms Of physical trouble
and not just habits. Watch your chill
dren for these things, and have them
corrected and save the child from a
serious handicap.
