HUNTERS GETTING
READY FOR DEER
SEASON FOR WISCONSIN WILL
OPEN NOVEMBER Fl AND
CLOSE NOVEMBER 80.
ONE BUCK LAW Is REPEALED
Hunter May Kill One Deer, Either
Male or Female, But Not Fawn
With Spotted coat-Non-Resi.
dent Licenses Fall off.

Madison-The deer hunting season
lot wisconsin will open on Nov. Il
and Will close on Nov. 80. Already Ii
cnces for 10000 deer hunters have
been issued and the state conservation
estimates that almost double as many
deer Will be shot this year as last
year. Last years record, when the
one-Duck law was in force showed
that $500 deer was killed. The de-
partment estimates that about 5000
will be shot this year.
Residents of Wisconsin have to pay
one dollar for a license and ten cents
extra for a coupon tag on which one
deer can be shipped. The license fee
for non-residents has been increased
from $25 to $50 and as a result the
number of licenses issued to non-resi-
dents has decreased from 400 last
year to fourteen this year.
The hunting season this year is ten
days as compared with twenty days
last year. This reduction was agreed
to by hunters and as a result of the
shortened season the one-buck law
law was repealed. A hunter, either
resident or nonresident, can kill but
one deer-either male or female, but
not fawn with spotted coat
The claim was made that there was
an abuse in the shipment of deers and
the law this year requires a coupon Ii
cense, the coupon being detached at
the time of shipment by the express
company and forwarded to the state
conservation commission. The ship
per must accompany the shipment.

ASK FOR INCREASED
TELEPHONE RATES
STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION
WILL CONSIDER REQUEST
FOR ZONE SYSTEM.
AFFECTS RURAL DISTRICTS
Hearings Will Be Held in Cities and
Communities Interested in the
Proposed Change-Company
Has rs Exchanges.

Madison-The Wisconsin Telephone
company has asked the state railroad
commission 10 allow the establishment
OF a zone rate instead of the local
rates of present exchanges. This COM
pany owns seyenty-five exchanges and
four sub-exchanges.
1t is set forth in the petition of the
company that the proposed zone rates
will not affect cities but will raise
rates on rural lines.
Because the commission is not sat
isfed that the plan would prove equit-
able, it has decided to hold hearings in
the principal cities and communities
interested.
In statement issued the commits
sion says that before authority is
granted to increase rates, investiga-
ton will be made.
Attention should be given,'' the
statement says, ''to the notifications
which are proposed by the introduce
ton of a system of excess radius
charges which have resulted in an in
crease of the rates to rural subscrib-
ers; to the reasonableness of the ex-
cess charge as such, and, if it be
found that the excess radius method
of applying rates and determination
of charges is reasonable, the general
question of what distance should be
fixed as limit of the initial radius
should be settled"

Electric Device for Blind.

A Paris scientist, NJ Chas. Lam
bert, has devised a method of writing
which will be very useful for blind
persons, especially mutilated persons
who have lost their hands or forearms,
the reading of the signs being done
by a specially designed electrical de-
vice. In the first place the characters
composing the text are printed in
Morse alphabet on the same method
as is employed for producing letters
in relief on letter paper, that is by
printing with thick paste which then
sOlidties and leaves a raised letter.
This method now replaces the old EN-
bOSsing process where cost Is an item,
for it is much cheaper. The only DIFF
ference from the usual Morse alpha
bet is to place the dashes vertically
instead of horizontally. Reading Of
these characters can then be done by
persons deprived of their hands, by
the use of very simple electric de-
vice which is run over the characters
In relief which are printed with a spe.
cial metallic ink.

Twenty years after they We're mar

of about 1900, in order that their chill
dren might have better school advan-

but none suited her, because the bath

she found place with bedroom and
bath on the first floor, so they bought
it.
Her friends were curious to know
why she had to have the bath on the

wanted everything convenient for car

And then-just as they were getting
