London, March 6.-Though unsensa-

and twenty-nine girls. Their expenses
to the fair, including railway fare,
were paid by the state.
G. w. Davies of North Freedom, in
charge of the educational feature OF
the fair, praised the winner highly.
"She is especially strong In arithme-
tic," he said, "and that proved big
help to her. She is only 13 years old
and attended school at Glenville, near
Baraboo. Her instructor was Miss
Mary Simpson, who just now is con-
vned to a hospital bed, having under
gone an operation.
The competition, conducted in the
huge fraternal tent, was interesting,
and was witnessed by several hundred
persons. Parents and relatives Of the
participants were present. The amount
Of time taken to complete problems
and write the spelling lessons was a
factor, and the mad rush to deposit
the work into the box for the judges
created considerable amusement.
The writing contest was conducted

parents being with him constantly.
Doctors state that he undoubtedly will
recover. They attribute the fact that
he did not die from exposure to the

LAFOLLETTE men
MEET. BUT DODGE
SENATOR NAME
Rosa, Skogmo, Dithmar and Hull
Mentioned to Head Progressive
Slate; Not Anti-War Crowd

Senator Robert M. La Toilette, one
of the "wilful twelve" is still a fac
tor in Wisconsin politics, but his sup
porters are getting impatient with
"Fightin' Bob's" war position in the
senate.
About two dozen of his strongest
supporters met in Milwaukee to dis
cuss their political futures. After
three-hour meeting they decided to
stick and organize for the next state
campaign. This means, it is said, La
Toilette Republicans will have slate
in the 1913 gubernatorial race, which
lends color to report that Democrats
and Republicans are considering fu-
sion ticket on every office for which
a La Toilette man is entered. This
report could not be confirmed.
Dodge La FoIIette's Name
'"There will be no anti-war party
or peace-at-any-price party in Wis
consin," said Senator George B. Skog-
mo, River Falls, La Toilette leader.
"No man would dare suggest such q
thing. We do not question the war"
La Follette's name, according to
those present, was hardly mentioned
at the meeting.
"The meeting was called to decide
whether Wisconsin progressive Repub-
licans should keep up the fight for
good government" said Skogmo. "The
progressives feel keenly their posi-
tion in connection with La Toilette,
and unless La Toilette forces himself
upon them, they will studiously avoid
any conflict with him."
Four Mentioned for Governor
Present at the meeting were men
who have been mentioned as guber-
Material candidate on the La Toilette
ticket. They were Judge Charles d.
Rosa of Beloit, assembly leader in
the last session; Senator George B.
Skogmo, River Falls; Lieut.. Gov. Dith-
mar Baraboo, and Secretary of State
Merlin Hull, Black River Falls.
Among those attendant at the meet
ing were: w. S. Goodland editor of
the Racine Tfmes-Call; w. T. Evjue,
Madison; George Whiteside, Portage;
Senator Herman Schultz, Milwaukee;
Senator Kuckuk of Shawano, and
Charles Crownhart of Madison.
A committee of five was appointed
to work out plans Of organization. 1t
is composed of Lieut.. Gov. Dithmar,
Senator A. G. Anderson, Menomonie;
Senator Antoine Kuckuk, Shawano;
Senator Herman Schultz, Milwaukee;
w. T. Evjue, Madison, and Dr. George
D. Whiteside, Portage.

SOLDIER BOYS
ARE WELL FED
Sauk County Contingent at Camp
Grant Find Uncle Sam a Good
Provider

Sank County boys in the new ma
tional army who are quartered at Camp
Grant, Rockford, ILL.,, are not having
their diet neglected, and have discov-
cred that Uncle Sam sets as good a
table as any first-class. boarding es-
tablishment. The meat is better
than that which is obtainable on the
average table, because it is Of grade
purchasable only in the highest priced
provision shops.
The boys are enthusiastic over
their mess. It's good and there's
plenty of it. 1t is served on the col
| lege boarding house plan-everything
on the table-with men on such detail
standing ready to supply all additional
wants from the kitchen at one end Of
the mess hall The men eat from the
army mess kits.
That the men at Camp Grant shall
be we'll fed is the determination OF
Major General Thomas I'll. Barry, in
command, who with his chief Of
staff, Lieutenant Colonel Roger s..
Fitch, keeps constantly informed
through the properly designated Off
GERS, of all mess arrangements. Here
is sample days menu:
Breakfast
Oatmeal Syrup
Bacon Drowned potatoes
Bread Butter
Coffee
Dinner
Boiled ribs of beef Gravy
Mashed potatoes Peas
Bread Butter
Supper
Roast beef Gravy
Macaroni and cheese

Peach sauce Tea
And perhaps more important than
what is eaten is the fact that it is
eaten at regular hours, something.

RIVER GETS
THEIR MEALS

Judge James O'NeiIl of Neillsville,
who is now holding court in Baraboo,
while at Black River Falls the other
day, stated that when he came to
Neillsyille about forty-five years ago,
he had no idea that the time would
come when he would have his meals
cooked in his home there by the power
of the Chippewa river more than fifty
miles away, says the Journal of that
place. With the amount OF standing
timber in Clark county at that time,
probably most of the citizens never
dreamed of ever using any other fuel
than Wood-probably slate-wood at
that. But recently the judge had in
stalled an electric stove in his home,
and now all the cooking is done by
electricity, furnished from the Mesota
dam at Chippewa Falls. The electric
stove is a marvel of perfection, and
makes for the. comfort and peace OF
mind of the housewife. 1t has various
devices for different cooking, some
of which, like the fireless-cooker at
tachment, are self-regulating. Cook
ing is done more quickly on them ana
in many ways more thoroughly than
with coal or wood. The pots and pans
are never blackened and there is no
dirt to litter up the kitchen. Neither
is it necessary to get up an hour be-
fore breakfast and fan poor kindling
and damp wood into flame before the
coffee pot goes on. All that is needed
is to turn on the switch few mo-
ments and the Chippewa river gets
the breakfast. The electric stoves
cost only little more than the ordl-
nary range. The cost of eectricity
makes it a little higher than coal, at
present rates. But if the stoves-come
into common use, probably lower
rate will be obtainable, when the cost
will be reduced.
