SOCKS IN GERMANY

Yarn is so scarce in Germany that
socks are made without a heel. The
sock is nothing more than bag ana
stretches so it will fit the foot and
be comfortable no matter which way
it is put on. In this way the wear on
the heel is distributed and the sock
lasts longer.

Lieutenant Governor, While at

madison JOurna1)

Lieutenant Governor Edward T.
Dithmar, Baraboo, may be a candidate
for United States senator if a special
election is held to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Paul O. Hust-
ing. He is generally considered to be
passive candidate now.
Mr. Dithmar, who is occupying the
executive office while Gov. E. L. Phil
ipp is out Of the state, was asked today
if he is now or is going to be candi-
date for the United States senate.
Doesn't Want to Talk
"The State Journal has referred to
me before as an avoWed candidate, .
he replied, "but have not avowed my
candidacy to anyone. There is no GER
tainty that there will be an election to
the Office. ] believe it is the duty Of
every citizen to serve the state where
and when he can
"You have always been a La Fol
lette supporter. Do you approve Of
his standing on war subjects?" Mr..
Dithmar was asked Did you ap-
prove of his st. Paul speech?"

viewed on the matter [ think Senator
La Toilette is amply able to look after
himself without any apologies from
me. Charges have been filed against
him in the United States senate, and
that is the place where they will be
handled.
Senator Must Be Loyal
'I believe, however, that only a
man whose loyalty is unquetioned
should be sent to the United States
senate and should I be a candidate it
would be on my own record as lieu
tenant governor and not as a support
er of anyone else, or on anyone's rec
ord but my own.
|You must remember I am not a
politician. I got into this Office last
year not by any special ambitions Of
my own, but in a way the matter was
practically thrust upon me and | was
fortunate enough to be elected"
Mr.. Dihmar said that this was a time
when She enire state should pull to
gether if there ever was such time.

TO ACCE1,> fHE
RINGLING THEATRE
There Is One Condition, However
Petition Objecting Might
Change the Matter

At the council meeting on Thursday
evening the aldermen voted to accept
the Al. Ringing theatre at the end of
thirty days, providing petition
signed by fifteen per cent of the elect
ors objecting 10 the acceptance is not
presented within that time. Alderman
Stanley was absent and Alderman Ca
fiisch voted in the negative. The res
OlutiOn was introduced by Alderman
Altpeter and unless a petition signed
by fifteen per cent of the voters Of the
city Of BaraboO is presented to the
council within thirty days the gift
from Ringing Brothers Of the AL
Ringing theatre will probably be ac-
cepted.
Report of Committee
Some time ago the Ringing Broth
ers offered the building to the city, and
objections were made by City Attor-
ney v. Fl. Cady because it was provid
ed in the gift that Ringing Brothers
should have the selection of three of
the five members Of the board. The
city attorney held the statutes pro-
vide that property cannot be owned
by the city and at the same time be
under the control of others. This OBJ
lection and others we're reported to
Ringing Brothers, who submitted an
other report embOdying substantially
the same idea, except the free admis-
sion feature, which was eliminated,
save only members of the governing
board, these to have free access at all
times. In the previous offer certain
members of the Ringing family we're
to have free admission to the build
ing.
With the proposal as it is, City At
torney V. H. Cady adheres to his orig
inal conteniOnt as regards the legal
aspects Of the matter, and is opposed
to accepting in the form presented.
The committee reported the matter to
the council without recommendation
and then, as stated above, Alderman
AItpeter presented a resolution to ac-
cept the building, all Of the aldermen
but one voting for the resolution with
the one provision named.

Dairyman Objects to Staying
of TubercuIar Cattle, Says
It Drives Out Business

In an argument against compulsory
testing of dairy cattle for tuberculosis,
substituting instead pastuerization
systems, c. H. Bcllina appeared before
the senate committee on public lands
and improvements this morning.
Bellina, who is dairyman. declared
that if the present system Of wedding
out dairy cattle where tests show they
have traces of tuberculosis is kept up

brought TO temperature of 145 de-
grees and kept there for % or 80 min

death rates of children in New York
had been decreased to great extent
by pasteurizing milk
Bellina also expressed the opinion
that tuberculosis is not transferable
from the COW to the human being.
The discussion arose at a meeting
of the lands committee, over Senate
Bill Sc, which provides that the board
of agriculture shall not be held liable
to reimburse owners of cattle where
such animals are ordered killed The
finally decided to recon-
mend that the bill be re-referred to the

New Week Bring, Another Rush Of New Legislation
FAVOR HOLDING
PRISON Site

1t would be poor business to sell
the old Oahu prison site at present
in order to complete the new struc-
ture, according to the decision Of the
ways and means committee submitted
In report this afternoon to the SEN
ate.
The report recommends that the ter
ritory keep control of the old prison
site until such time as the change over
to the new building has been accom-
plished.
Value of real estate in the vicinity
OF the prison is increasing so rapidly
that the committee feels it would be a
mistake to sell the site at present. The
probable gain by waiting is likely to
make up for more than the interest
on money to complete the new build
ing. Jill
1t was also recommended that the
bill introduced by Senator Single
recently, turning over $4,000 of bal
ance in the loan fund to the compile
ton of the prison building, be passed.
1t is rumored that several firms, in.
Guiding two lumber yards, are consid.
ering the purchase of the old land.
