No Photos in London.

Photographers were forbidden to
take pictures of the scenes incident to
the ~dedicatory services at St. Paul's
cathedral in honor of the entry of the
United States into the war, a fact
which has aroused the indignation of
newspapers and photographers. Press
photographers who attended the cere-
monies were placed on their honor not
to take pictures of any feature of the
service, either inside or outside st.
Paul's cathedral. The only picture Of
the king and queen vas secured by
an amateur photographer who was
concealed behind a chimney on the
roof of a building along the parade
route.

day, wh4>A ne went Down aga1n 10 hunt
a big white rabbit popped up ahead of
him, and he gave chase. For half a
mile he pursued, until the wolf instinct
in him rose over the dog, and he gave
up the futile race. A deer he might
have o%vertaken, but small game the
wolf must hunt as the fox hunts it,
and he began to slip through the thick
cts slowly and as quietly as a shadow.
He was a mile from the Sun Rock
when two quick leaps put Gray VOLTS
supper between his jaws. He trotted
back slowly, dropping the big seven
pound snow-shoe hare now and then to
rest.
When he came to the narrow trail
that led to the top of the Sun Rock he
stopped. In that trail was the warm
scent of strange feet. The rabbit fell
from his jaws. Every hair in his body
was suddenly electrified into life. What
he scented was not the scent of a rab-
bit, a marten or a %porcupine. Fang
and claw had climbed the path ahead
of him. And then, coming family to
him from the top of the rock, he heard
sounds which sent him up with a ter
rible whining cry. When he reached
the summit he saw in the white moon
light a scene that stopped him for a
single moment. Close to the edge of the
sheer fall to the rocks, fifty feet below,
Gray Wolf was engaged in a death
was down-and under, and from her
there came a sudden sharp terrible cry
of pain.
Kazan flew across the rock. His at.
tack was the swift silent assault of the
wolf, combined with the greater cour-
age, the fury and the strategy of tho
husky. Another husky would have died
in that first attack. But the lynx was
the swift" as the Sarcees had named
1.-THE quickest creature in the wilder
ness. Kazan's inch-long fangs should
have sunk deep in its jugular. But in
a fractional part of a second the lynx
had thrown itself back like a huge soft
ball, and KaZan's teeth buried them
selves in the flesh of its neck instead
of the jugular. And Kazan was not
now fighting the fangs of a wolf in the
pack, or of another husky. He was
fighting claws-claws that ripped like
twenty raZor-edged knives, and which
even a jugular hold could not stop.
Once he had fought a lynx in a trap,
and he had not forgotten the lesson the
battle had taught him. He fought to
pull the lynx down, instead of forcing
it on it's back, as he would have done

TO CREATE SENTIMENT
FOR COUNTY AGENT

A movement is on foot to create
sentiment in favor Of the appoint
ment of county agricultural agent
for Jefferson county. Mr.. James of
the James Manufacturing company of
Fort Atkinson, president of the re
Gently organized Jefferson County
Farmers and Businessmen's associa-
ton, is leading the movement and an
effort will be made to have a speaker
in Watertown some day next week to
talk the matter over with our citizens.
An effort has beer made on two pre-
vious occasions to have the county
board appoint such a man but the
effort failed.
However, now that there is a grow
ing sentiment for more intensive farm
ing due to the scarcity of provisions
it is timely that another effort should
meet with success. It is expected that
some state officials cOnversant with
the benefits to be derived from the
services. of a county agent, will be
present in Watertown to create the
needed interest in the movement.

MEDICAL HOME GUARD
To AID RESERVE CORPS

Wisconsin physicians and surgeons
who enlist in the medical reserve
corps will have their private practice
protected during their absence by
brother phsyicians unable to go to the
front The entire membership of the
Wisconsin State Medical Society has
been called on to ''do its bit" of un-
selfish service for the country, by or
ganizing what might be called a home
guard of volunteers, as well as by
pushing to rapid completion a full en-
rollment in the Medical Reserve Corps
In call issued to the physicians of
the state through the various county
medical societies, DR.. Hoyt E. Dear
holt, president Of the state society
urges upon the entire fraternity its
obligation to share in the sacrifice
which is an inherent part of the pub
lie service demanded of medical men
by modern warfare. The plan pro-
posed is an adoption of the one orig
mated by the Maryland Medical and
Chirurgical faculty by which physi-
clans who remain at home enter into
an agreement to turn over one-third
Of the receipts of practice secured
from patients who under normal con-
ditions would have employed a fellow
practitioner engaged in active military
service to the secretary Of the county
society. The fund thus accruing is to
be held in trust until the return of the
physician, or turned over to his fam
lily on his order.

FINED FOR USING
AN ILLEGAL NET

A young man who resides in the
Seventh ward paid a fine in Justice
ROhr's court on last Wednesday af-
ternoon for using a net with a three
inch mesh in Rock river. He was
arrested by Deputy Conservation Off
Ger, E. T. Tuttle of Oconomowoc. The
law requires that the mesh of a net
for taking rough fish shall not be less
than four inches stretch measure The
fine is $25 and costs, but in this case
where the offender was only IL years
old a portion of the fine was remitted
upon request of the game warden.
Justice ROhr states that dip nets
can be used for taking rough fish in
Rock river if the mesh measure be
four inches. When game fish, includ-
ing pickerel, are taken they must be
returned to the water.

cash but is to receive $4,000 par value
of common stock
A Tentative Plan.

The following is a tentative plan
governing preferred stock, of the Nor
gan Screw corporation, subject to
change upon approval Of a majority of
the committee on organization.
After providing out of the annual
earnings the per cent dividend on
the preferred, and the sinking fund
requirements and arrears on same, il
any, the excess earnings are to be ap-
piled as follows:
Eight per cent, or such part there
Of as earned, may be applied as divi-
dends for the current year on the
common stock, the next per cent, or
such part thereof as earned, is to go
to the sinking fund for redemption of
preferred as hereinafter provided.
Any earnings in excess of 13 per cent
on the common are to be applied as
ordered by the board of directors"
The preferred stock is to carry a
dividend rate of per cent per annum,
which dividend is to be cumulative
and is to be preferred as to assets, as
well as dividends to the extent above
to be entitled to two members of the
board OF directors out of a total of
five members, and if at any time it
does not earn and pay the above rate
of dividends for a period of eighteen
consecutive months it is to be entitled
to three members out of such board
Of five directors, the common stock
being entitled to the remainder Of the
members Of the board of directors in
each case. Such preferred stock may

and accrued interest. After three
years from date of organization a
sinking fund of per cent per annum
is to be provided from the earnings
of the company for the retirement Of
this stock at the stated price of $101
and accrued interest, and such sink
ing fund is to be used for the purpose
Of redeeming the stock at that rate
and price annually
1t is understood that the subscrip-
tiOns to this stock are based upon the
fact that the Morgan Screw Corpora
ton will locate its factory in the city
of Watertown, Wisconsin, and that
evidence or guarantees satisfactory
to the above named committee will be

USE YOUR BACKYARD
TO GROW VEGETABLES

A great part OF the population of
the world has abandoned the indus
trial and agricultural pursuits, and in
consequence the soil and factories are
operated either by women and chill
dIen, or not at all There is no ques-
tion but what the great advances in
the cost of living in the United States
are due to the fact that we have been
feeding the hungry mouths of the
people of other countries. Of course
there have been combinations in price
boosting since the normal conditions
have made it easy to bring these
things about. But the demand for in
creased production is based upon con-
ditions, and upon a growing demand
that everybody understands. Way
back in the nineties potatoes were
scarce and high at the end of a par
ticular season. Governor Pingree of
Michigan, advised everyone to use
their vacant lots to grow potatoes.
The next year potatoes were ten cents
a bushel. 1t would be possible to
bring potatoes down to that price next
year if the whole world grew the crop,
since an immense production would
result. However, the demand this
year is to grow everything" Doubt
less there will be great profits from
agricultural production, as the in
ducement to go farming was never
greater than now. AS a purely com
mercial proposition, Independent of
every other consideration, it is good
advice to tell anyone who has a back
yard, or an acre of land, to start
growing in it.
