Of the tuberculin test for dairy cows

ture. Upon petition CT three patrons
Of any dairy the Live Stock Sanitary
board will make an examination. at
state expense, OF the COWS composing
the herd and the owner will be under
no opens for this examination. : If
any tabercular cows are found in the
herd, the state destroys them and the
owner is reimbursed. Payment ia
made or the basis Of ~onc.naIf the ap-
praised value, with a limit Of $50 for
one COW, the appraisement being made
the same Is for CHAMBERS and other
diseased live stock in which indem-
nifty is made for owners. This means
that the owners - we'll as patrons
will take a greater interest in the
purity Of the dairy herds. A number
of cities OF the state have made ordi-
nances requiring the examination Of
cows, in which cases the owners had
to stand the expense, which burden
Is now removed and will have its eff
feet in improved dairy herds over the
state. The act carries an %appropria-
ton Of $4,000 for use between now
and the LIST of July and $4,000 per
year after that time. which will allow
the work to be taken up at once. OF
the appropriation $4,000 is for cattle
destroyed, and the rest for expenses of
testing.

WISCONSIN COALITION
TO fight COPPERHEAD

and Republican leaders of Wisconsin
and the rank and file patriots there
are probabilities in the event that All
anu-war candidate looms up as a
formidable contender in a three
,ornered fight for the late Senator
Iiusting's seat.
Each side plans to enter the race
with the strongest available candi-
date. The anti-war party is maneu-
vering to back candidates in both
parties with a third favorite filing
independently. II neither copperhead
candidate wins in the old parties. the
third candidate. by dividing the vote
Of the Democrat and republican NOM
inees, might emerge victorious.
II conditions warrant combina-
tion of patriotic forces, a complete
neglect Of party lines probably will
be witnessed.
Several informal and perhaps some
formal conferences are to be held
here in the near future. at which both
Republicans and Democrats will make
their plans known in a general way.
To stop every possible loophole for
the election OF an anti-administration

checkmate the opposition at every

RED CROSS COUNCIL
CUTS ITS PAID STAFF
Central Organization for War Work
Publishes Data on Salaries.

In accordance with its policy OF
kccrinl; the public informed on all of
its activities, the war council OF the
American Red Cross makes public a
summary OF salaries paid at national
headquarters.
There were 423 paid employees on
November l. or a reduction of sixty
three in October. There are now
cighty-eight volunteers at national
headquarters who devote their entire
time to Red Cross work without re-
muneration. Salaries paid were clsssi-
fed as follows:
Under 5000: s.; $500 to 81, 900, 1S2; 81. 900
TO $500, So; 81 ,JOO to 5000, 3S; 5000 10
$500. 10; $50 to 5000. 6: $500 TO
s5.OOD. IS; more than 500. 5.
Four months ago there were 70O paid
officers and employees at national
headquarters. Since that date the
membership of the American Red
Cross has been tripIcd and the num-
her of chapters doubled. In spite of
this enormous growth, the number of
paid employees has been decreased by
~.
This reduction is due in part to the
decentralization of administration,
which has transferred much routine
work from national headQua rters to
the thirteen divisional offices. whose
pay rolls are not included in the above
statement, and in part to the read
justments at national Headquarters.
