Food Board Issues Ban.

Combination sales of food commedl-
ties have been forbidden by the United
States food administration, according
to telegram received by Food Admin
istrator Magnus Swenson, and WlScon-
sin dealers are warned against the
practice.
The telegram received by Mr.. Sven
son follows:
ION and after this date combination
sales of food commodities are forbid
den, with the exception stated below.
The sale of one or more food commodf
ties upon the condition that the pur-
chaser shall buy one or more other
food commodities from the seller is re-
garded as a combination safe within
the meaning of this ruling. Combina-
ton sales frequently result in the sale
of more foodstuffs than the particular
purchaser would ordinarily buy, and Is
therefore determined to be WaSteful
practice within the meaning of Sec
ton four of the food administration
act.
''The exception pending further no.
tice, and as wheat conservation
measure, is that the dealer may sell
sugar in combination with cOrnmeal
at the rate of one pound of sugar with
two pounds of cornmeal. No other
combination will be permitted, nor will
any other ratio than that stated be al
lowed. The dealer will not be permit
ted to sell sugar or cornmeal at
price yielding him a profit greater than
he has normally enjoyed upon the par
ticular commodity. The dealer is not
required to make combination sales
of sugar and cornmeal, but may do
so at his discretion"

Governor Names Draft Council.

Gov. E. L. Philip has nominated
the central legal advisory council for
Wisconsin under the selective service
law. Aa 5}s rs ,ItHE
The governor has appointed the
following men: Judge Marshall, for
quar-er of century on the supreme
court bench and president of the
American Bar association; w. A.
Hayes, Milwaukee, general counsel
for the 500 railroad in Wisconsin and
the Wisconsin vice president of the
Bar association; John B. Sanborn.
Madison, the elected member of the
Bar association; Walter G. Owen, at
torney general of Wisconsin and JUS
tice-elect of the supreme court.
The purpose of the central legal
advisory council is the general SUI
pervision of the legal advisory boards
in each of the counties of the state to
see that the 225,000 drafted men are
given ample legal assistance free OF
charge. 1a
The governor, in cooperation with
representatives of the American Bar
association, is now working on the
organization of the legal advisory
boards in each county. These boards
will consist of three men who will
have supervision of the work in the
county and will issue a call shortly
to all lawyers of the state to coop
crate in providing to registrants the
free service which the president of
the United States in the new regu-
lations has called for.

Can't Force Governor.

Governor Philip cannot be manda-
unused to call a special election for the
election of a United States senator.
This is the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral owen in a letter to G. NJ. Sheldon
Of Tomahawk. cc0eeT
On November 10 Mr.. Sheldon sent
petition to the attorney general de-
handing that this official begin manda-
mus proceedings to compel the gov
arnor to call a special election. In his
letter Mr.. sheldon, who is lawyer,
calls attention to the fact that the le-
raj proposition is a close one. In his
rreplv. Mr.. Owen says that the decision
,of the supreme court in the Ekern-
NIcGoyern case settled the matter and
makes it impossible to. successfully
prosecute an action of this kind.
The question has arisen as to wheth-
or. should the legislature decline TO
give Governor Philip power to make
the appointment. as he has requested.
the governor could then be compelled
70 call a special election. The opinion
of the attorney general would seem TO
preclude the field and leave all with
The governor.

Defense Council Gives Hints.

For the benefit of those who viii
store potatoes for home use this win
ter. suggestions are made by the state
council of defense, which are given
especially to the smaK growers who
have not had experience in the stor-
age of potatoes.
Sweating, heating and consequent
rot, often due to insufficient ventila-
ton.
Rotting, due to potatoes getting
wet at the time of putting them in
storage.
Injury from frost.
Decay, owing to disease in the po-
tatoes at the time of storage.
Sprouting in the spring.
Sweating and heating occur if the
freshly dug potatoes are piled in too
large piles, so that the air cannot cir
culate. The risk of loss from this
cause is greatest in the fall, immedi-
ately after the tubers have been dug.
If the potatoes at the digging time
are allowed to get wet and go into
storage in that condition, rOtting is
sure to occur.
Potatoes are easily damaged by frost.
If they become frozen, their market
value is destroyed.
There are several diseases of the pO-
tato which destroy the tuber, and if
diseased tubers are mixed with the
sound ones, the disease spreads rapid
w. All the cuts, cullS. miSShapen and
diseased tubers should be fed to the
poultry and live stock, but should be
steamed or boiled, as in this way you
increase the food value, and also de-
strOy the germs.
By proper ventilation of the cellar
or storage room, and by holding the
temperature as near 80 degrees Fahr-
enheit as possible, you can keep the
potatoes from sprouting-
