POPULAR WITH GIRLS AND WOMEN.

Wrist Watches are not
only ornate and attractive,
but serviceable. In fact, their
practicable value seems to be
more of an attraction than
their beauty.
The woman at home. in
business, on shopping, pleas
ure or calling trips will find
it convenient to have one. For
the girl and young miss at
school they are most de-
sirable. Splendid birthday
and anniversary gifts.

Kingbird a Hard Fighter.

Some country folk call the kingbird
the bee martin, because he occasional
ly in his insect-catching life snaps up
a bee. The kingbird loves the orchard.
There, while his mate is covering the
eggs, he takes to tree top to look
over the landscape and the skyscape.
When hawk or crow comes in sight
the kingbird is off for a battle in
which he does all the fighting. Occa-
sionally, he takes ride on the enc
my's back for yard or so, pecking his
hardest to make his victim exceed the
speed limit.

ROAD WORK WILL CONTINUE
Highway Commission Points Out Con-
struction and Maintenance Is
Part of Preparedness.

Madison The state highway COM
mission sent out circular letter to all
state and county officials in charge of
state aid highway construction. adj
vising that state work be so carried
on that the demands for labor and
teams, and the prices paid for them
would not embarrass the farmers in
any county in obtaining the supply of
labor and teams needed for the fullest
agricultural production.
The commission emphasized that
road construction and maintenance is
a proper part of preparedness and
that, if agricultural production is to
be vastly increased, there is all the
more reason for maintaining a sys-
tenn of roads that will facilitate the
transportation of agricultural prod
ucts.
Farmers are asked to do road work
with teams when field work is not
pressing. On the other hand, road men
will help farmers when crop actiVi-
ties are urgent.

LOWER HOUSE KILLS
MINIMUM WAGE BILL
AMENDMENT RAISING BOTTOM
FIGURE ALSO REJECTED
BY THE HOUSE.
REGISTRY BILL IS PASSED
Measure Placing Election Machinery
of State in Hands of Federal Gov
eminent to List Draft Subjects
Wins in the Senate.

Madison-The Bradley minimum
wage bill for females and minors ap-
plicable to cities of the first and Sec
ond class was killed in the house with
the aid of the Socialists by a vote of
81 to 81. The bill provided that minors
under the age of IS years shall re-
ceive not less than rs cents a day,
learners and apprentices Is years of
age and older, not less than 81 per day,
and other female workers not includ-
ing domestic service, not less than
$1.25 per day. Assemblyman Oil,
Turner, Kent, w. L. Smith, MilWau-
kee, of the Socialist contingent,
charged that the minimum wage fixed
in this bill was not even a living wage,
and asked that the measure be de-
feated. An amendment by Smith, fix
ing the minimum wage for minors at
81, was rejected by vote of 20 to IS.
Under suspension of rules, the SEN
ate concurred in the Rosa bill placing
the election machinery of the state in
the hands of the federal government
for the registration of persons in Wis
consin who are eligible for service in
the United States army.
!. When the bill was taken up, Sena-
tor Arnold, Milwaukee, Socialist. Of
fered an amendment providing that
the expense of the registration be paid
by the federal government. The
amendment was rejected.
During the discussion on the bill,
Senator Wilcox of Eau Claire bitterly
fayed Senator Zumach, Milwaukee,
Socialist, for assuming to be the
spokesman of the working classes of
the state and asserting that that class
was opposed to paying the expense Of
making the registration of men in Wis
consin eligible to military service in
the United States army.

SWENSON ELATED
BY DEFENSE WORK
PRESIDENT OF STATE COUNCIL
RETURNS FROM CONFERENCE
AT WASHINGTON.
WISCONSIN IS IN THE LEAD
Badger Plan Being Put Into Operation
as Part of Program to Cooperate
With National Defense
Council

Madison-Magnus Swenson, presi-
dent of the state council of defense,
has returned from Washington, d. c.,
where he attended a conference OF
members of President Wilson's cabinet
and representatives of defense bodies
from forty-six out of forty-eight states.
During his visit in the national capt.
TOD, Mr.. Swenson called on President
Wilson and United States Senator
Paul O. Husting.
"The president addressed us briefly"
said he, "as to the Importance of CO.
operation with the federal government
in the general program of defense. Mr..
Wilson appears to be in excellent
health, in fact, I never saw him look
ing better The heavy burdens and
great responsibilities of these grave
times do not seem to be wearing on
him. He made no reference to the
war, except with respect to the work
of the defense councils"
Mr.. Swenson said that Wisconsin's
position is being cleared up despite the
attitude of Senator La Toilette and
other members of congress from this
state Some sections of the east, he
said, still entertain the idea that Sen
ator La Toilette may be representing
the sentiment of Wisconsin, but the at
titude of Senator Husting and Con-
gresham Lenroot is doing much to
place this state in the right light.
In the conference on the work of de-
tense councils, it developed, said Mr.
Bwenson, that Wisconsin has made
greater Roadway than any other Sec
ton of the country, and the Badger
state plan is being put into operation
all over the land as part of the pro-
gram to cooperate with the national
council of defense. Mr.. Swenson re-
turns with the knowledge that the
work of mobilizing resources here is
being carried on in a manner that
meets the approval of Washington au-
thorities, which means, that the coun-
Gil will proceed with more enthusiasm
than ever.

SOLONS SPEEDING UP WORK
Both Houses Struggling Hard to Dis
pose of All Measures to Reach
Adjournment BY June 1.

MadisOn-While committee work In
the legislature has been materially re-
duced, and both houses are working
at top speed, much remains to be ac-
cOmplished if final adjournment is to
be reached by June 1. The assembly
is. far ahead of the senate in the
amount of legislation disposed of, but
the senate is planning garrison finish
in order to come within the general
agreement, relative to adjournment on
June /.
If the upper4house is able this week
to dispose of the Evjue bill for ref
erndlm on prohibition and the Whittet
bill to reorganize the central board of
education, it will not be far behind the
house. There is a feeling that these
measures may develop so much debate
that the final vote may not be reached
this week
A tentative agreement has been en-
tered into to reach vote on the Evjue
bill this week. Many amendments will
be offered, but the same situation was.
presented in the assembly, which man,
aged to discuss amendments and vote
on the bill all in one day.
The drys claim from twenty to TWEEN
ty-one votes in the senate. The fact
that the vets are willing to have the
final vote taken on the day the bill
comes up indicates that the optimistic
claims of the drys are regarded as ex-
travagant.
Opposition to the Whittet bill has
manifested itself, but Speaker Whittet
and Gov. Phillip are confident that
the measure will pass, probably by a
substantial margin. With few excep-
lions the educational authorities of the
state are for the measure.
