WEIGHT MEASURE OPPOSED
Bakers Are Against Skogmo Bill Fix

at Sixteen Ounces.

Madison--Bread, bread making and
the high cost OF living were the feat
ures of the hearing before the senate
state affairs committee on the Skogmo
bill, fixing the standard weight of
loaf of bread at sixteen ounces, or one
pound.
A large representation of bakers
from all parts of the state spoke
against the bill. No baker spoke for 1t.
At the conclusion of the hearing the
committee took the bill under eonsid-
Grafton and announced that it would
not pass on the measure until the bak-
ers had further opportunity to file writ
ten answers to written statements
made by the advocates OF the measure.
The bill establishes sixteen ounces.
or one pound, as the standard weight
of loaf of bread of any kind, but en-
powers the state dairy and food COM

apply to stale bread. The penalty Is

ment in Jail for term not exceeding

RAILWAY TO BE EXTENDED
Line in Trempealeau County Being
Built BY Farmers viii Be Con-
tinued to la Crosse.

Black River Falls-The new railroad
which is being built from Blair to Eft
trick in Trempealeau county is to be
extended east to Melrose, through
North Bend and on to La Crosse, &C
cording to announcement here.
The road, which is financed BY east
ern capital and by the farmers living
along the proposed line, is to be known
as the Ettrick and Northern. 1t will
be sixty miles long and will pass
through a rich agricultural district all
the way. At present the farmers in
this section are compelled to haul
their produce from eighteen to twenty
five miles and a large part of their
profit is consumed in this operation.
1t is believed this important addi-
ton to the shipping facilities will be a
potent factor, in developing the agri-
cultural resources of this cection. That
it will be paying proposition is not
doubted here.
1t is estimated that it will cost $780,
900 to complete the work surveyed,
buy the right of way and put the line
in shape for traffic. Forty miles of the
distance lies through very hilly re-
gion, but the remaining twenty miles
passes through a level country.

PLAN LAND CLEARING MEET
Forward, Rather Than Back to the
Farm, Will Be Slogan OF
Assembly.

Madison-"Forward to the farm"
instead of back to the farm" will be
the slogan of general land clearing
assembly, to be held at Eau Claire
Feb. 1924.
Gov. Philip. who has taken a great
interest in the movement, will address
the assembly on the subject, IAN EN-
pire in the Making" 1t is because OF
the great success that attended the
demonstrations of the college of agri-
cultures land clearing expedition to
northern Wisconsin last year that the
conference has been called. A new
interest has been awakened in the
farmers of the state through the new
and more scientific methods of clear
ing land in the state and preparing 1t
for farming.
The conference will study the state
and the opportunities for stump clear
ing. Two phases of the problem will
be taken up-the engineering side and
the economic or community aspect of
cut-over land development. Several
thousand feet of film, taken from Wis
consin's stump land battle front, and
showing Badger farms In the making,
will be shown at the conference.

Profit in High Wages.

Wherever rubber grows, there In

the relations between those who have
much and those who have little. But
a rare discovery has been made.
Strange rs 1t may seem, 1t has been
proved by experiment that it pays to
be reckless of expense when service
is sought and rendered. That which
has come to pass in the higher ranges
of employment, where salaries have
been increased tenfold and even more,
is happening all along the line where
labor and capital meet. Five dollars

the larger wage brings the greater fit-

the members of the legislature now

Two trunk line systems have been
laid out, one to contain 2,23S miles and
the other 4,S19 miles. All of the state
will be covered, the roads connecting
the sections most thickly populated.

ponderance of traffic,
The interesting feature of this work
now is the division of the money con-
tributed by the national government
by counties.
In five years, If the state meets the
requirements of the national govern
ment, the sum of S5,776,248 will be re-
ceived from Washington. An equal
amount contributed by the state would
mean that $10000,0O0 would be ex-
pended in Wisconsin in its system of
trunk line roads in five years.

SAINT OF CANDY MAKERS
Macarius, Egyptian Man Of Fame,
Properly Entitled TO Such Honor
as That Name Entails.

Probably few of the confectloners
and candy makers who cater to the
public's "sweet tooth" are aware that
they have patron saint all their own.
but such Is the case. He Is St.
Macarlus. Macarius was adopted by
the confectiOners as their protector
because he himself followed the Oc-
cupation OF making sweets In Alex
andria before he forsook the world
and its ways and retired to Thebais
In upper Egypt TO live the solitary and
self-sacrihcing life of an anchorite.
Macarlus lived in the fourth cen

dtions concerning him, he was

posed of raw herbs and pulse. Dur
Ing Lent he ate on Sundays, and then
but few cabbage leaves. One OF the
remarkable tales told about the
"candy saint" is that once, having
killed gnat that bit him, he expiated
the "crime" by spending six months
IN a marsh, where great venomous
flies abounded subjecting himself to
such torments that he became a mass

j. 5. TRADE BOARD
TO PROBE PRICES
Commission to Inquire Into High
Cost of Foods.
DIRECTED By THE PRESIDENT
Department Of Agriculture viii Assist
Body IN Its Work--To Learn II
the Antitrust Law IL 6eing
Violated.

Washington, Feb 13---The federal
trade commission announced that at
the direction of the president it would
begin Immediately an investigation Of
the high cost of foods In the United
States, with special reference to al
legged violations of the antitrust acts.
The department of agriculture will
assist In the investigation. Alleged
manipulations, control and conspira-
cies in distribution of food will be gone
into particularly.
President Wilson'S letter directing
the inquiry is as follows:
IAN adequate supply of food prod
ucts Is matter of concern to the ma
ton ut all times. 1t Is of particular
Importance at present. Our domestic
food supply Is normally very large and
has become increasingly varied. In
some respects it has steadily expanded
and has kept pace with the increasing
population. Unfortunately, this is not
true, however of large number of
important cereals, and particularly
meats.
1T has been alleged before commit
tees of congress and elsewhere that the
course of trade in imported food prod
ucts is not free, but is restricted and
controlled by artificial and Illegal
means.
IF the allegations are well ground
ed, 1t Is necessary that the nature and
extent of the evil and abuses be accu-
rately determined, SO that proper rene
dies, legislative or administrative, may
be applied. If they are not true, 1t is
equally essential that the public be in
formed, so that unrest and dissatisfac-
don may be allayed.
I'm any event, because of the grave
public interest which the food supply
affects, the efficient performance of the
duties imposed upon agencies of the
government requires that all the peril
nent facts be ascertained
Pursuant to the authority conferred
upon me by the act creating the federal
trade commission, therefore, direct
the commission, within the scope of its
powers, to investigate and report the
facts relating to the production. owner
ship, manufacture, storage and dstri-
button of foodstuffs and the products
or by-products arising from or in con-
nection with their preparation and
manufacture; to ascertain the facts
bearing on alleged violations of the
antitrust acts, and particularly upon
the question whether there are manipu-
iations, controls, trusts, combinations,
conspiracies or restraints of trade out
of harmony with the law or the public
interest.
II am aware that the commission has
additional authority In this field
through the power conferred upon it to
prevent certain persons, partnerships
or corporations from using unfair meth
DDS of competition in commerce"

"Well," he said, 81 do not want to

U. S. TO PROBE 100000 FIRE.
Big Blaze at Union Switch Plant,
Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. 13.-The ma
chine shop building of the Union
Switch and Signal company at Swiss
dale, the largest plant for the manu-
facture of switch signals in the United
States, which was used until recently
In filling munition orders for Euro
pean governments, was destroyed by
fire on Saturday with a loss estimated
at 100000. The cause of the fire has
not been determined. Officials of the
company believe 1t resulted from spon-
taneous combustion. More than 1000
shells In the packing room awaiting
shipment were probably destroyed.
United States Marshal Joseph Howley
announced that investigation of the
origin of the fire would be made by
agents of the department of justice.
