He needs you, now, Wisconsin,

Old Abe once called your soldiers
When your country was at war
Are you ready, now, Wisconsin,
To heed the call once more?

When your nation needed men,

With fighting spirit then;
One country, now, Wisconsin,
One flag, worth fighting for!

BILL TO PRESERVE
PIONEER CAPITOL
INTRODUCE MEASURE TO RE-
STORE OLD TERRITORIAL
HOUSE AT BELMONT.
URGES PURCHASE OF LAND
Senator Plat Whitman Advocates APP
preparation of $500 Be Made for
Project-First Session of Leg
islature Held in 1896.

Madison-The first territorial capitol

torical land marks of the state. A

was held.
The first session of the legislature
of the territory of Wisconsin convened
at Belmont on Oct. 25, 1886, and ad-
journed on Dec. 8 of the same year
The session lasted forty-six days and
there were forty-two laws passed and

Iowa county. 1t was at this season that
law was passed providing for trus-
tees for the village of Milwaukee and
naming the first board Among the
laws passed was one establishing the
university at Belmont in Iowa county"

LEGISLATURE MAY
ADJOURN MAY 10
DATE SET FOR LAW MAKERS TIC
CLEAN UP ALL WORK OF
PRESENT SESSION..
BIG MEASURES TO COME UP
The Young Primary, Statewide Prohl-
bition and the Highway Bills
Are Booked for Immediate
Hearing.

Madison-With May Is fixed as the
date upon which the legislature can
adjourn if it applies itself to the work
ahead, certain members are deter
mined to do what they can to speed
up the sessions.
Counting a week out for the cleo
ton adjournment. this will give the
members six weeks to clean up the
calendars, and unless politicians at
tempt to delay the work the bills can
ne given due consideration and be
passed or killed long before that time.
Among the big bills to have an i'm
mediate hearing is the Young primary
bill. 1t is to come up before the as
sembly committee on elections, and
could be reported in so the lower
house could dispose of it by the Sec
ond week in April. The senate COM
mittees are in shape to take it up
without delay, and two weeks in the
senate ought to dispose of it.
The statewide prohibition bill ought
to be either passed or killed in the
same time. The highway bill will
take some time, especially because of
the argument which will arise as to
the increase in automobile fees and
the proposition of creating a special
legislative committee to work with
the highway commission.
Another big bill is the one which
relates to the game laws. This sub
ject also has been considered for
months, and several hearings have
been held. Another hearing is sched-
uled and the bill should be on the
calendar of one of the houses early
In April.
The Whittet bill which amends the
state board of education law is impor-
tant but it has been considered by a
Joint committee, and has been unani-
mously recommended by the assembly
side. 1t should be disposed of by the
lower house without delay and the
senate will have three weeks in April
TO consider it. II is understood that
amendments will be introduced in the
senate, and they will send the bill
back to the lower house, but again
May Is seems a date far enough ahead
in which 10 dispose of the bill.
Every day of the session costs
money, and the 1917 legislature still
has an opportunity to save something
like 100000 to the state if it adjourns
by May Is.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all. dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet OF
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.
