TO ALDERMAN WEDEMEYER

At the next regular meeting of the
city council a successor to the late
Alderman William Wedemeyer will
most likely be chosen. There are quite
number of candidates for the place
in the field. The choice will be with
the thirteen aldermen who will elect
the Fourth ward man for a term ex-
piring next April, when his successor
must be chosen at the polls. Among
those mentioned are men in many
walks of life, but so far as known
none of them have filled like positions

NO PROM THIS YEAR:
WOMEN FAVOR ECONOMY

No Junior Prom will be held at the
University of Wisconsin this wear. An
inexpensive Liberty dance will take
its place and the proceeds will be in
rested in Liberty bonds.
The junior class made this decision
partly as matter of wartime como
my and partly in honor Of the many
iormer students who are now in mill
tary service.
Women students led the "No-Prom'
campaign. The sororities banded to-
gether and agreed not to cooperate
IN the giving Of the annual ball. In a
large massmeeting, the women stu
dents voted to oppose all formal and
expensive parties during the year.
Economy will be the keynote of all
their social functions.

PREVENT HENS EATING EGGS
Habit May Be Discouraged by Placing
China Eggs on Floor and Letting
Fowls Pick Them.

If you keep few china eggs on the
floor about the laying hens or in the
yard, the hens will pick at these, and
It will discourage them from attempt
ing to eat the eggs in the nest. It Is
also advisable to place your nests away
from the light, as the hens are not apt
to eat the eggs If the rest is rather
dark. Keep your nests up off the floor.
Supply oyster shell ard some meat
food. If the hen persists in this bad
habit, trim the point of her beak until
it bleeds. Keep the hens busy. Avoid
broken eggs, as this is usually the be-
ginning Of this trouble.
