of the best all-around good fellows
this world has ever produced. of gem
tie manners, a great lover of flowers
ard music and everything thats goes to
make this world brighter. and better.
At an early age, his father, according
to German custom, thought best to
provide Peter with a trade, and to that
end he was placed in the blacksmith
slop OF his brother-in-law, Chas. Bend
er. at Baraboo. Peter did not possess
the stamina to withstand the heavy
strain imposed by the black-smithing
business, and he soon fell sick and
passed from the wearygome toll OF
this world, to land where his beloved
flowers are forever in bloom and the
sweet. sounds of music are never hid
den by crashing anyil's din.
Theile's people lived a short dis
lance above where the big Prairie du-
Sac dam is now located, and among
the products of their farm were an
abundance of fine grapes, which were
chiefly turned into choice wine, the
power of which as an 'accelerator''
is shown-by the following:
'Wib" Mott was our local champion
skater. Wib was also our champion
.prevaricator, the difference between
Wib and G. Washington being that
while George couldn't-teH a lie, Wib
had hard work to keep from prevari-
eating. He was never noted for hard"
work as a matter Of fact, but rather
for ali impeachment in his speech, which
I somehow imagine was due to an UNI
unconscious effort on his part to over
step the bounds of truth, while not
really wishing to prevaricate.
VIII skated down the river a couple
of miles to Theile's place one Sunday
afternoon and climbed the high bank
to the house. His undoubted (?)story
of what resulted from his visit was as
follows:

W SC0NSIN COULD
FEED NATION YEAR

Wisconsin's maximum food produc-
ton would feed the nation, for year.
This was the broad estimate of
prominent agrarian yesterday, discus
sing the actual value of concerted eff
fort toward that goal. ut would take
years, however" he said, ito put Wis
consin into shape to attain her max
imum production. We are going far
toward doubling the production this
year, but even this is dream and will
be shown far from an actually.
Intelligent cultivation of all avail
able ground in Wisconsin would in
crease our production inastimably.
Without going into figures, however,
here are few things to be done:
81. Study the soils and break and
plant scientifically.
"2. Observe the laws Of science re-
garding rotation of crops.
90. Plant in accordance with the
laws of supply and demand.
"A. Exterminate the crop pests.
bird conservation helps.)
IS. Do not waste sed on ground
fit only for pasturage."
Starting off with these simple OBJ
servations, the official declared that
the state agricultural comissioni
with which he is associated, is doing
all in its power to aid farmers and
gardeners in the move for greater
production.

SENATE TO ACTON
MO HERS PENSION

The amended mothers pension bill,
which has been the subject of extend
ed hearings for the last three months,
has been submitted to the senate at
'.Iadison, and will probably get onto
the senate calendar Friday for con-
siderasion. The bill ibroadens the
scope of the present mothers pension
act. Under the terms of the substitute
bill submitted to the committee the
juvenile or circuit judge may cause
IN investigation to be made before
aid is granted. To assist in making
Investigations, the judge shall on July
1, 1917, appoint board of child well
fare for the county, who shall office
at the pleasure of the judge making
the appointment. This board shall
consist of three members. They shall
receive no Salary, but shall be paid
their actual expenses.
The bill provides that this board
shall establish a basis of-household
expenses and to compute the amount
of aid to be extended to needy FAM
lily. The board shall help needy
mothers expend this aid economically,
advise with them in keeping an &C
count of the expenses and confer
with the court relative to continu-
ance of the aid.

mother. This idea was suggested
originally in bill offered by Sena
tor Timothy Burke of Green Bay

need not show that she has used al
provisions of law to enforce support

that such procedure on her part is Of
no avail. Under the old law aid could
