BREAD WEIGHT BILL PASSED
State Senate Engrossed skogmo Meas
ure Virtually Placing All Sales
on Weight Basis.

Madison-After brief debate, the
state senate engrossed the Skogmo
bill standardizing bread weight. The
standard loaf is one pound, but larger
loaves are permitted to be sold by
weight. A standard half loaf from z "a
to ounces is permitted. The effect
of the bill will be to virtually place
all bread sales on the weight basis
Senator Roethe attacked the measure
in speech suggesting that the legis-
lature broaden the bill to control the
size of cookies and the holes in dough
nuts. Senator Skogmo also succeeded
in advancing measure for the ap-
pointment of challengers in behalf of
referendum measures.
Senator Schultz's bill to empower
the city of Milwaukee to mortgage the
waterworks plant to procure funds for
the requirement of other public utili-
ties was put over after Hanson had
attacked it on the ground that it was
a subterfuge to permit the city to
evade constitutional debt limits. The
senate advanced a number of minor
measures.

WOULD AID LAND CLEARING
Measure Introduced in Senate Pro
vides for Study of Various Con-

Madison-Better methods and tools
for removing stumps in upper Wis
consin is considered by Senator A.
H. Wilkinson of Bayfield, to be one of
the most important needs in the de-
velopment of the northern counties.
After many years of close study of the
needs of the settlers in the cqtover
districts, Senator Wilkinson has in
troduced a bill, which he believes is
of fundamental Importance in that it
aims to find out which are the best
methods and equipments to be used
and then to get that information be-
fore the people.
The bill calls for two-year continu
alton of the demonstration work
started last year by the college of agri-
culture. Arrangements are made by
which the college is to investigate
methods of clearing cutover lands and
use the experiences of others in form
ulating the best methods for the vari-
GUS conditions found in upper Wis
consin.

FARMERS EXPECT BIG YEAR
Because of High Prices More Grain
Will Be Planted This Year
Than Ever Before.

Wisconsin farmers an
ticipate the greatest agricultural year
in the history of the state, according
to George D. Bartlett, secretary of the
Wisconsin Bankers association, who
attended the recent farmers and bank
ers' conference at Madison. More
than 600 farmers and seventy-five
bankers attended.
Because of high prices, increased
demand and the great shortage every
where, Wisconsin farmers will plant
great quantities of wheat, barley, oats
and other grains this year." said Mr..
Bartlett. Land which has hereto
fore been given over to hay will be
planted with grain

ment to increase the number Of cattle
in northern Wisconsin and said the

GUARD READY FOR SERVICE
$500 Men and Officers Could Be
Modified in "a. Hours,
Says SALESMAN.

Madison = The Wisconsin National
guard, consisting of $500 men and Of
f1cers, could be modified at Camp
Douglas or any other central point in
the state within twenty-four hours,
Assistant Ad5utant General John G.
Salesman said They would be ready
for active service within a short time
after being modified, he continued.
No Instructions or directions re
specting plans for quickly mobilizing
the guard had been received from the
war department at Washington and
none are needed, the general said.
Under their obligations, taken during
their service on the Mexican border,
the members of the guard enlisted for
a term of six years, three years on the
active and three years in the reserves.
AS result of their physical examin-
alton and enlistment at that time the
membe9s of the guard can be returned
to federal service without taking any
further examination or going through
the formality of re-enlisting. The
equipment for the federal service is
also ready and there is no reason why
the guard can not be speedily thrown
into the field for federal service, if
necessity arose, Gen. SALESMAN said.

MYSTERY EPIDEMIC
|. IS BLAMED ON MILK
GALESVILLE MALADY DIAGNOSED
AS SEPTIC SORE THROAT BY
HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
SIX DIE; 200 ARE VICTIMS
Ninety-five Per Cent of Infected Per-
sons Obtained Their Milk Sup
ply from Same Herd-CoWs
Are Examined.

Madison Septic sore throat is the
laboratory diagnosis of the sudden cpl
demic, which already has claimed 200
victims in Galesvi1le and taken toll
Of six lives. Ninety-fve per cent OF
the infected persons obtained their
milk supply from the same herd OF
twenty-six cows on a dairy farm near
there. The milk from each COW was
examined individually at the La
Crosse city health laboratory. The
milk of five cows showed streptococ-
Gus infection, one was suspicious, and
twenty were free of the organism.
The six cows under surveillance were
segregated from the rest and their
milk supply cut off.
This summarizes the situation as re-
ported to the state board of health by
it's deputy, DR.. G. w. Henika, Madison,
who with DR.. l. F. Thompson, deputy
state health officer for the western
district, and Dr. j. M. Furstman, La
Crosse, member of the state board,
took charge after the epidemic broke
out.
Several of the 200 persons now suf-
fering from the malady are danger
ously ill. but with the shutting off of
the infected milk supply the further
spread of the disease will probably be
prevented The situation is regarded
now as we'll under control.
Similar epidemics have occurred in
Baltimore, sConcord, N. H., Chicago
and elsewhere.

MAY ADJUST LABOR
AND PAY FOR WOMEN.
STATE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
is INVESTIGATING EMPLOY
MENT CONDITIONS.
EIGHT-HOUR LAW is FAVORED
Minimum Wage Question Will Be
Taken Up-Hearings to Be Held
in Different Cities of
Wisconsin.

Madison-The Wisconsin industrial
commission has big program OF op-
erations scheduled in investigating
the eight-hour labor for women.
Members of the commission have been
holding hearings in Milwaukee re-
Gently and these Investigations will be
conducted in different cities of the
state.
1t is the purpose of the commission
to secure such data as will enable it
to take action on the.eight-hour prop
osition and in order to secure this, IN
dustries and employments for women
generally will be investigated.
Peculiarly, in connection will the
work the commission is now doing in
the way Of investigation, Commission
er Beck seems to indicate that the
commission in Wisconsin has already
arrived at conclusions favorable to the
eight-hour work law for women. AS
stated in interviews credited to Com
missioner Beck purporting to be his
conclusions he quite specifically in
dicated that the Wisconsin commits
sion favored the elgnL-nOuT require
ment.
This interview was commented up
on here, because, if the commission
had arrived at conclusions the neces-
sity. of holding further Investigations
and devoting time to the proposition
seemed not only futile for the COM
mission but to those appearing before
it.
Coupled with the eight-hour PROPOSE
ton is the minimum wage for women
question. AS soon as the commission
reaches conclusions upon the first, it
is probable that Investigations will be
made of the wage question. The COM
mission has full power to act in in
itiating the eight-hour law.

ACT ON INTER-INsURANCE
Measure Drafted BY Commissioner
Cleary Follows investigation
Conducted Last Year.

Madison-The big department bill
for the regulation of the inter-1nsur-
ance companies was sent to engrOss-
ment in the house. This measure re-
quires inter-insurance to carry as large
a reserve as it requires of other IN
surance companies.
Inter-insurance companies doing
workmen's compensation business
must have on hand minimum re-
serve of 100000. If the company is
doing other classes of business it must
have $4,000 reserve.
The bill was drafted by Insurance
Commissioner M. J. Cleary and is
wholly the outgrowth of an investiga-
ton conducted before the department
last year.
Assemblyman E. A. Everett, Eagle
River, moved a reconsideration Of the
vote by which the assembly sent to
engrossment the Hart bill, prohibit
ing the use of trading stamps in Wis
consin.
The assembly refused to reconsider
the vote by which it killed the Pieper
bill. 1t designed to engross the non
resident hunting license fee from $40
to SIS.
The Rogers bill, requiring the trans
portation of children living at long
distances from the consolidated school.
was sent to engrossment. On motion
of ssemblyman Carl Hansen the as
sembly killed the Smith bill which
would create board of examiners to
license persons in the practice of en-
balming.

Madison-Many bills of major impor-
lance will be considered by commit
tees of the legislature during the week.
In addition to heavy calendars of COM
mittee work, the senate and the as
sembly also will act on from twenty
five to fifty measures daily.
ALI bills dealing with workmen's

bly, committees. Every detail of these
measures comes in for close inspection
and the work moves slowly.
The finance committee will hear ar
guments on the good roads bill. The
Hanson bill relating to fish and game
laws will also be taken up. Speaker
Whittet's bill to revamp the central
board of education also will be con-
sidered during the week. The social
lists will ask that the measure be
amended to provide in the member
ship two representatives of labor

Senator George B. Skogmo has COM
pleted a measure to create state

ture will be asked to make an appro-
priation of $4,000 to start the work.
Senator Skogmo proposes to give to
the marketing department power to
