WOMEN TO DEMAND
ACTION BY CONGRESS
KNEE-STIFFENING" POLICY TO BE
TRIED ON LAW
MAKERS

! WASHINGTON-Th National Amer
lean Woman Suffrage association came
to the doors of congress today re-
specially demanding, not pleading, fol
federal suffrage amendment. Claim
ing with New York's lately won votes
| to be arbiter of presidents, this con-
sentative, anti-picketing organization
opened its annual convention here.
Democratic party leaders will be re-
minded that with the large electoral
vote from New York and the other suf-
frage states, women may easily re-
ward or punish the party which acts
on what they now seek most-nation-
wide enfranchisement This is the
same stand taken by the woman's par
ty militants who have been hunger
striking in the local jail
Every effort is being made to gain
the support of President Wilson to
national action, SO far Intellectually.

can gain two-thirds of the members
to vote for a federal amendment is
doubtful. Congressional leaders plan
to devote one day to a suffrage hear
ing.
A new political wrinkle the "knee-
party may be introduced by
the women. 1t is not for the benefit
of the congressman who is for state
suffrage but is little wobbly on the
federal amendment idea All the wiles
of the women politicians will be con-
centrated on his devoted head-or
knees.
Opposition congressman will be re-
minded that the democratic nations
of the world are rapidly giving their
the right to vote. The war
note was sounded by Mrs. Carry Chap
man Gait, president, when she said:
"All the chief belligerents of Eur
rope are taking measures to enfranch-
Sc their women. ALL that is, save
Germany. On which side of this great |
question will America line up?'

OLD KEYSTONE STATE
NEEDS 100000 MEN
Great Industries May Be Driven to
Employment Of Women On
Large Scale

! PHILADELPHIA. - Pennsylvania
needs 100000 men right away. Essen
tial war industries of the state face
paralysis unless this good-sized army
of workers is Forthcoming. The ship
building industry alone, according to
the department of civilian service and
labor of the state committee of public
safety requires from $4,000 to $4,000
men and boys Immediately, while the
Westinghouse Electric company has
a permanent SOS" flashing
throughout the country for substantial
additions to it's 10000 working force.
Another army corps must be re-
cruited to plant the crops of the state
next spring, to husband them through
the droughts of the summer and then
harvest the crops in the fall Hun
dreds and thousands of acres of corn
and potatoes went to waste in this
state before the first frosts set in be-
cause there was a dearth of farm la
borers.
Altogether the keystone state will
need close to 100000 workers.
With women operating the signal
towers and working in section gangs
along the Pennsylvania railroad it is
expected that the majority of the $780,
900 will wear skirts or boomers.

GOOD OPENINGS IN
MINING INDUSTRIES
DEAN THOMSON POINTS OUT AID
YANTAGES OF HIS DE-
PARTMENT

THE short course at the Idaho
School of Mines this winter is being
planned with a view to preparing sub
stitutes for the young professional an6
technical men filling positions as as
savers, analysts and mine surveyors
who have gone to the army" says Dean
Francis A. Thomson.
1--WE are receiving every day calls
for men to fill these positions and do
not know where to turn for a single
man.
Young men not yet of draft age
or those who for various causes have
been exempted will do well to consider
opportunities thus afforded While of
course the training must of necessity
be largely of an empirical kind,
we feel that this is time for emerg-
ency courses and for the brushing
aside, if need be- of academic preced-
ents
ANY bright young man who is
willing to work hard and to apply all
his attention to the task may become
fairly proficient assayer in the
course of two or three months. If he
has had high school chemistry, so
much the better. The same thing is
true to a slightly less extent of mine
urveying and mapping.
1.-THE regular short course for pros
pectors will be continued as hereto
fore, but we feel it is necessary that
so far as possible our work should be
made to orient itself as much as pos
sible toward meeting the situation
created by the war;

4THOF JULY
FIIIINGLY
OBSERVED

The Declaration o. independence
held a greater meaning for every pa
triot in Wisconsin than ever before.
One hundred and forty-one years
ago the document which set new lib
erty agog was signed. The celebra-
ton which followed was commemro-
ated Wednesday, and the terrific war
which followed if about to be COM
memorated by the idealists of this
generation.
With these facts in mind the state
practically every inhabitant, man, wo-
man and child-observed independence
Day.
Great mass meetings in practically
every town, city and hamlet marked
with historical programs the day
which has been set aside for honoring
those men from whose ideals the Unit
vent to the spirit of 1917 as did the
ed States came to life. Parades gave
great demonstration in Philadelphia
give vent to the spirit. of 1776 almost
a century and half ago.
In Milwaukee a great historical pa
geant was staged at Mitchell park.
Thousands witnessed the scenes of
1776 depicted by men, women and chill
dren in costume. Bands played pa
triotic hymns and thousands stood
with barred heads while history was
repeated in mimic to partially satiate
the warmth Of enthusiasm with which
Americans greet new sacrifices for IL
berty. At Eau Claire, Senator Roy P.
Wilcox, a much mentioned republican
gubernatorial candidate, turned loose
a volley of verbal fire on the alleged
lack of patriotism by certain members
of the state assembly.
The plea for "sane fourth" was
generally observed thruout the state
Less burning of powder was indicated
whereas a greater spirit Of patriotism
was manifest. The general move
ment for conservation of all resources
brought about condition for which
safety first" campaigners have been
working for years.
However, despite less explosions,
there was more noise than usual but
it came from the threats of Justify
cheering marchers and watchers in
the demonstrations that were more
numerous than ever before.

late such sweeping comparison seems
wide of the truth. Verified by other
poultrymen, however, the fact stands,
taken the year round, that not more
than twice as much poultry products
come from farms than from twin
plants"
equality is doing the work." an
nounced certain Milwaukee produce
dealer, at the initial session of the new
Wisconsin Egg and Poultry Dealers
association held here recently.
He stated that cleaner and better
eggs and larger, better conditioned
fowls are being received from Wiscon-
sin points than any other time since
he has been in business. Educational
work and organization among poultry
men is one of the factors which has
made such rapid progress, this dealer
believes.
wisconsin has made quick forward
steps in poultry raising in all lines,
but especially in the goose industry"
he stated. Eastern shippers tell me
that Wisconsin's fat goose market is
the best and most reliable one in the
country. Remarkable prices are re-
ceived for Jefferson county geese, too.
One man brought in a single wagon
load of geese last fall and sold it to
Watertown dealers for $945."
Poultrymen of Wisconsin, including
the $50 life members of the American
Poultry Assn, residents in the state
are lending support to the work of the
National Bureau of Poultry Informa-
ton, conducted at Chicago, under the
direction of the A. P. A. and allied
clubs. Harlow ]. Fiske, Oconomowoc,
is member of the committee which
is seeking state aid for pushing the
poultry industry as direct means of
adding to the food supply. The chair
man of the Matching and brooding COM
mittee of this national organization is

ASTRONOMICAL
CONDITIONS

Astronomical data for July, 1917,
furnished by the Washburn observa-
tory
The bright planets are absent or al
most lost to view as regards the even
ing sky during the present month.
Mercury passes thru superior conjunc-
ton July II and so will not be visible
at all. Venue is slowly emerging from
the bright light of the sun to become
the evening star, but at the close of
the month will set only a little later
than one hour after the sun. On July
4, the planet passes by Saturn little
over one degree to the north.
Saturn is losing its conspicuous po-
sition in the western sky and on July
1 sets by o'clock, behind the north
western horizon. The observer in the
early morning hours will find the
bright planets, Jupiter and Mars, ris-
ing above the northwestern horizon
The former appears first and is the
most conspicuous star in the morning
sky.
There will be total eclipse of the
moon July 4 visible in all the great
land regions of the world except North
America. There will also be as light
partial eclipse of the sun July 10, in
visible in the northern hemisphere.
The times of sunrise and sunset are

WAYS IF
TRAINING
CHILDREN

"The first lessons a child learns in
graft come when it is allowed to
strew around its playthings and is not
made to pick them up"
Professor Allan Hoben made this
statement before the Chicago Kinder
garten College.
"a child should be allowed to turn
a chair over and ride astride upon it
if he wants, or to make a line of
chairs, cover them with the sofa cover
and imagine all the wild beasts he
likes, but it is educationally necessary
for him to be made to pick up his
things after him. 1t is necessary if
he is to become a good citizen and
not sponge on society. Too many
mothers are too ignorant or too lazy
or too tired to make the child pick
up his playthings.
Cali children should have something
alive to care for" the speaker con-
tinued. at may be a few beans or
peas, a garden, pets or a poultry yard.
1t must be something that demands
their care.
"Boys who are brought into the
Juvenile Court, in most cases, are up

boys who had had no inviolable prop
erty rights in their homes Their
sticks or tools had been taken indis-
criminately by other members of their

THE naming
Of WISCONSIN'S
Counties
ShebOygan.

An ancient tale, it's details varying
with every fresh telling, has recently
been applied by a well-knowr Wis
consin writer to the name of Sheboy-
gan County AS thus told it relates
that a certain Wisconsin chief was
the father of many daughters but, to
his great disappointment, no sons had
come to bless his wigwam On the
successive occasions of the breaking to
him of the news of the birth of dau-
ghter the chief was wont to exclaim
in his disappointment "She boy 'g;n."

fcance of the name of the modern city
and county. The absurdity CT this eH-
PLANTATION is sufficiently OBJ 10 i: tie
real meaning of Sheboygan, undoubt-
eddy a word of Indian origin, is not,
however, certainly known. By early
writer's in the Collections of the Wis
consin Historical Society two mean
ings have been advanced. According
to one explanation Sheboygan means
"a noise underground" or ga river dis
appearing underground; the second
version is "a perforated object, such
as pipe-stem or hollow bone"
