WILL SPEAK ON COWS
AND HOW TO FEED THEM

With the high price of feed of the
20 practice intelligent feeding as new
ar before. With the high price of milk
and the scarcity of feed the cows must
De carefully attended to if the herd is
to be handled at a profit. Notwith-
standing the fact that the city man
complains of the present high prices
of milk the farmer is still getting too
little in the way of returns for his la
Dor. This is demonstrated by the fact
that in some sections of the country
some of the herds are being disbursed
on account of the scarcity of labor and
the inability of the breeder to produce
milk at profit. This, however, is not
the case in Jefferson county.
Our county has been in the fore.
front in the dairy work and it is high
ly desirable that our dairymen con-
5inue in it's leadership in this respect
1t is of utmost Importance that high
class cattle be produced in this coun-
ty. With these thoughts in mind the
Jefferson County Council of Defense
is arranging a series of live stock
meetings to be held in different parts
Of the county, commencing Tuesday,
November 6. At the first series, the
subject of feeding will be thoroughly
discussed by Prof Humphrey, man
eminentily fitted for this work.
Mr.. Negley will show the means by
which the Improbable COW can be de-
termined He Will also speak on the
influence of the pure bred SIRE
In connection with the mems meet
ings there will be woman's meet
ing arranged by Mrs. Lyla D. Flagler,
who is to be emergency food agent for
the women in Jefferson and Waukesha
counties. There will be a talk on food
conservation explaining the work
which women are called on to do as a
service to their country. There will
Je cooking demonstration, dishes be-
ing prepared especially featuring
dairy products and war time cookery
The subject of the Adequate Diet will
De taken up and it is hoped that there
will be a general discussion of the
question of food conservation. Sever
al of the ladies in the community have
offered to bring samples of the differ
ent war breads which housewives have
Deen requested to use and recipes for
these will be distributed at the meet
ing.
1t is hopd that there will be large
audience out for these meetings. Ev-
erybody will be welcome.

SPEAKER FINDS FAULT
WITH TOWN AND BAND
AFTER ADDRESS HERE

Prof Max F. Meyer of Missouri,
who spoke in the high school gym Fri
day evening, took occasion to voice his
opinion Of the people Of Watertown in
an interview in local paper and
again in the Journal of Milwaukee,
Sunday. He found fault with the local
band because it did not go into the
school and play during the meeting.
He says he failed to see the spirit of
democracy at the street corners.
Well, for city that voluntarily fur
nished a company Of men to Uncle
Sam, besides those who enlisted in
other branches of the service, we can't
be all dead in this crisis. Co. E was
recruited in Watertown with Water
town man as captain, while dozens
joined the forces on land and sea in
other capacities. That would seem to
SAVIOR of patriotism. While there may
be lack of interest in the war in in
dividual cases in WatertOwn, the peo-
pie as whole are loyal to the flag
and the government under which they
live and flourish.
Watertown with population of 5000
people subscribed literally to the first
loan and contributed $4,000 to the
last loan. OF course, this is not up to
the allotment. Neither is it factory
town where there are big pay rolls.

day on the 9:14 a. N. train over the

On account of weather and labor
conditions the price should be 61s
cents per pound, but have been sue
cessful in getting this lot so / can sell

ket. Bring your baskets. You cannot
carry them in paper.

The auto races scheduled for Sun.
day were postponed on account of the
condition Of the track due to the
weather. The track was looked over

ing as Nowicki is anxious to lower all
records and Tillman will give him a

GEORGE HERRO'S CAR
GOES UP IN SMOKE
AT THE FAST GARAGE

While the Chevrolet car owned by
George Hero was being cared for in
the Fast garage in North Third street
Saturday evening a blaze was started
in some manner and the whole top
was a mass of flames in a few mo-
ments. The car was near the door and
the attendants were able to push it
out onto the street, but not before the
walls and doors of the building were
badly scorched in places. The tonneau
of the car with seats, etc. were COM
pletely destroyed before the fire was
put out. No one knows exactly what
caused the blaze, but it may have re-
suited from a short circuit
A car owned in Doylstown, is in
the Greystone garage undergoing re-
pairs. The driver of the car ran into
the oiling pump Of the garage Satur-
day evening at s o'clock with a suf-
ficient speed to jar the pump loose
and smash the radiator. The car was
travelling pretty fast, it is said, at the
time.

ELG|N BUTTER BOARD
TO CLOSE UP SHOP

There will be few tears shed when
1T is known that the Elgin butter
board, which sets the basic price for
butter for most Of the country, may be
closed at the request of the govern
ment. Special Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Herbert w. Childs, who has
charge of various governmental food
investigations during the last year,
said c. Potter, president of the board,
had expressed willingness to close the
board if the government so desired.
Mr.. Chidl said he expected Mr. Hoover
would take Mr.. Potter at his word.
"The board has outlived it's useful
ness" said Mr.. Childs, although it
continues to hold weekly meetings. 1t
is no longer read market place. For
years the prices quoted at Elgin have
been used throughout the country as
the basis for butter prices. Several
times its activities have been under
federal scrutiny"
Recently Mr.. Childs began an inves-
LEGATION and was said to have planned
action by grand jury.

LIBERTY BONDS SOLD
UP TO sum OF S332,OOO

The sale of Liberty bonds, second
issue, in and near Watertown reached
a total this morning of $332,0O0. This
will be added to somewhat by delayed
sales. The total allotment was about
100000 for this district, but owing to
poor weather conditions the past two
weeks the country districts could not

anticipated.

MAYOR MULbERGER
OUT FOR JUDGE LUECk
FOR U. s. SENATOR

The Milwaukee News of Friday car
ries a political article on the United
States senatorship. 1t says:
Endorsement from Dodge county of
the possible candidacy of Judge Mar
tin Lueck, for the senatorial position
formerly occupied by Senator Hust-
ing, has been prompt in coming to the
surface.
State Senator Mulberger of Water
town, who was in the city Thursday,
was very enthusiastic over the men
ton Of the name of Judge Lueck and
said: II sincerely hope that Judge
Martin Lueck will be candidate and
believe that he would be the strong
est man that could be put into the
field for the place. Judge Lueck has
done more than anyone else in his
support Of the administration policy
in regard to the war and his election
as senator would without question be
most acceptable not only to the demo-
Gratis of Wisconsin, but to the demo-
Gratis of the nation If the special ses-
sion could be requested to pass bill
providing for an Appointment by Gov.
Philip, l would very much like to
see the place given to Judge Lueck,
and think that Gov. Philip would
make wise appointment if he Sc
lected a man who was so thoroughly
in accord with the late Senator Hust-
ing"
The La Toilette leaders have de-
cided that it is for the best interests
of the La Toilette factions to have an
election and they will oppose any bill
before the legislature to confer the
right of appointment on the governor.
At least such is the statement of La
Toilette leaders who have been in the
city during the last few days. Their
idea is that the people should have
right to vote on even a selection of
senator to fill an unexpired term. At
least that is what they say and it is
evident that they do not think there
would be any dividend for the La Fol
lette faction of the party in any sena-
torial appointment which Gov. Philip
might make
On the other hand, Wilson demo-
Gratis seem to be quite favorable to the
Appointment idea and several of them
have expressed the opinion that the
idea which has been advanced in sup
port of an appointment by Gov Philip
would be useless and that it would be
far better to postpone the fight be-
cause of the La Toilette situation un-
til the general election campaign next
year.
Gov. Philip is not inclined to run
for the senatorship, in event of a spe-
cial election. Many of his friends, how
ever, are SO DESTROYS that he enter the
senatorial race, that they are prac-
tically demanding his candidacy in
case a special election is held. They
claim also there would be no question
but that the governor would be elect
ed if he should enter the field.

In a thrilling exhibition of runs,
passes and open field plays Beloit took
the winning side of a 10 to score
from Northwestern of Watertown at
BelOit on Saturday afternoon. Both
teams put up a spectacular battle,
gains being long and often, though
the defense always strengthened when
a count was about to be made.
Lansing dropped a neat three point
er off his boot in the first quarter for
Beloit and on the next kickoff Coe,
Beloit's full, jumbled the rules and
handed the visitors a safety that he
thought was d touchback Northwest
ern slipped pass over in the second
for touchdown and kicked goal.
AT the end of the same period they
held Beloit~for three downs on their
own one yard line when the half end

twenty yard pass when Mccarthy took
the remaining four yards on a delayed

FOOTBALL

The Watertown high school eleven
ran away with the Horizon team Sat
urday, so to O. A crowd of over 200
FANS witnessed the game, which was
played on the Northwestern campus
owing to the muddy condition of the
Washington park field.
That Thomas knew he had a cinch
with the Horizon bunch was in evil
dence when he sent in the second
team backfield to start the game, Wer-
ner Ballet and PritZlaff, and how
those boys went through the Horizon
lineup was shame, for they scored
touchdown on the Horizon regulars in
the first quarter Of play and In the
second, piling up count OF twelve.
Woodland was unable to kick goal ow-
ng to the strong west wind.
Jacksons Horizon birds were loose
in their play and lost several good
chances Owing to the fastness Of the
locals they were unable to mank any
substantial gains and at no time
threatened the goal posts. The fumbl-
ing on both sides in the first half were
ell on the ball is to their credit
Horicon kicked off and Watertown
was forced to punt on downs. Horizon
punted and Watertown lost the ball
on an intercepted pass. Billy Wood
ard copied the ball on a tumble and
Ballet and Werner made first downs.
Kaminski carried the ball over for
touchdown, but both officials stopped
the game and argued spiritedly for
twenty minutes whether Kaminski
had hurdled with his head forward.
The quarter ended and Kaminski had
to carry the ball over again after a
penalty.
Watertown received the ball after
short exchange of punts. A forward
netted yards. Kaminski scored, max
ing it II to 0.
In the second half the backfield was
changed, Buffmeier going in as quar-
ter, Henke full, Boettcher guard and
oieritz tackle. Why dwell on the
score from that point If Horizon had
a chance in the first half they failed
TO take it and with the regulars in the
backfeld they walked away with the
Horizon team, scoring six more touch
downs, and piled up a total of SO
points. Kaminski made two touch
downs, Wegemann two, Buffmeier one
and Henke one. The lineup:

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.

In choosing the public school teachers whose work for
the is now beginning the biggest problem is always
to find the people who have the gift of discipline This
does not mean perfunctory submission to authority
where the children sufficiently scared to keep quiet
1t means condition where the pupils Loyalty take hold

ton of the school,

The spirit of loyalty to the school and it's work can
not be drilled into children by punishment or nappnp #
taxes knowledge of the child mind and the that
appeal TO It, There are teachers who have no paricuar

They arouse the spirit of competition, and make tho
