FORMER United States Senator Isaac
Stephenson died early Friday morning
AMI with his death passes man who
for fifty years has played an important
part in the history of the state and
who throughout the last half century
has been a prominent figure in nearly
all the political activities and many OF
the great commercial activities OF WIS
consin. Beginning as lumberman and
timberman, his field activities broad
ened until at the time of his death with
a fortune often estimated as the larg-
est in the state, Isaac Stephenson, the
multimillionaire, had interests extend
ing not only through the state and
northern Michigan but to the great
commercial centers of the East. Isaac
Stephenson came to Wisconsin as a
pioneer and he was the last survivor OF
a coterie of men who carved fortunes
out of the timber of Wisconsin. Pollt-
ically Mr. Stephenson's life was often
a series of disappointments, but ne
achieved his great goal, seat IN the
United States senate. The political
life of Mr. Stephenson began some
thirty years after he became resident
of Wisconsin. His investments in pol
tiles were like those in business, he
paid the price whatever the cost. AS
the financial hacker of Senator Lat'ol-
lette and the Milwaukee newspaper or
gan brought him the least returns OF
any of his ventures At the age OF 81
years this commanding figure who has
helped build wilderness into produc-
tive state has passed away.

ARTISTS FAMOUS AS WRITER'S
Several of the Most Noted Novelists
Deserted the Brush for lit
erary Work.

Several artists of note have been
known to desert the brush for the pen,
and when they have died they have
left their mark behind them as lit
erary men, observes an exchange. Will
liam de Morgan did this. He wrote
the longest set of novels since Dick
ems and Thackeray ceased firing" al
though he was an old man when he
took to the pen. George du Maurier
was an artist who turned author after
making a European fame with the pen
ell as a satirist of society. He sudden
~ startled the world with "Trilby,"
and set two continents comparing feet.
With him novel-writing seemed his true
forte, but he had started too late. He
only enjoyed his new fame few years.
Even Thackeray tried art before he
found his true vocation, and he Illus
trated several of his own books even
then. A very piquant story tells Of
Thackeray calling on Charles Dickens
to see if he could get the commission
to illustrate one of his earlier novels.
He had not written "Vanity Fair"
then!
A very distinguished artist-author
was Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who was
supreme in both arts.

PROGRESS,


Sending messages by lightning. trav-
cling at 40 miles to the hour, cross
ing In week the ocean which the May
flower perilously breasted, In 7 our
sumptuous vessels, framed of iron, lux
urious in appointment, propelled from
Within and gay with color as so many
swimming summer gardens-these ap-
pIauded achievements do not tend of
necessity to the upbuilding of nobler
courage, to the development Of lu-
minous moral wisdom. to the culture of
even philosophical refinement, or the
nurture of the temper Of devout as
piration. On the other hand, do we
not sometimes feel that virtue among
us Is coming to be too much mat
ter of manners; that the intense sub
jective processes from which august
character is derived are In measure
being superseded by the mechanical
contrivances and the physical sue
cesses with which our noisy years re-
sound; and that the grand and lovely
spirits, which are present still, and In
which, whenever we touch them, we
find strange charm and inspiration,
are fewer and lonelier than they were?

Two in Prison for Camp Fraud.

Battle Creek, Mich, March 20
Bail was placed at $4,000 each in the
case of Captain Ralph A. Pillinger OF
the quartermaster department and
Ralph WindhOrst, a civilian, who were
arrested by department of justice OPP
eratives on a charge of cOnspiring to
defraud the government in connection
with building additions to Camp Custer.
. Neither has secured bond and both are
in the Battle Greek Jail. Other arrests
are expected soon, based on new evil
dence. Several Battle Creek business
men furnished the evidence on which
the men were arrested. None of the
business men, however, are implicated
in the alleged frauds. According to di-
vision inspector and department of
Justice men, WindhOrst, who gives his
address as Chicago, appeared as a
broker making purchases for the build
ings, which were in charge of Captain
Pillinger. The latter is alleged to have
given orders that no materials were to
be 80. K" except those purchased by
Windhorst.

MORE MEN CALLED TO COLORS
Recruits to Go From Northern and
Western Parts of State to Camps
in Oregon and Washington,
HolWay Announces.

Madison, March 20.-Nine hundred
more Wisconsin men will be called to
the colOrs under the selectiye service
law early in April, Immediately after
the contingent, which begin entrain-
ment March 20, is in camp. This was
announced by Adjt. Gen. Orlando Hol-
way, who received a telegram from the
war department at Washington, D. c.,
informing him that these men will be
sent to army camps in the states or
Oregon and Washington. General Hol-
way said the men would be drawn prin-
cipally from the western and northern
parts of the state. He declared that
he was of the opinion that none would
be taken from Milwaukee. The near
by camps are filled close to capacity,
General HOlway explained, and for this
reason the war department had deter
mined upon sending the Wisconsin Sc
lects to the Western states. This con-
tingent will go under the second call,
as most of the 1900 men who will
start for camp March % will be men
who were certified under the first draft
but had not yet been sent to camp.
Previously all selects from Wisconsin
have been sent to Camp Custer at Bat
tie Creek, Mich, and Camp Grant.

Flood Does DAMAGE.

Sheboygan, March 20.-The entire
heart of this citl is inundated as: the
result of the sudden breaking of an ice
jam in the Sheboygan river at the Ash
by bridge, a mile north of the city. An
area four blocks wide and a mile long
on the west side of the river is under
water. Four large factories and many
residences are flooded. Several streets
in the west end of the city called "The
Flats" are closed. Lookouts were
posted near the bridge when the water
rose beyond the danger point. The
Ashby bridge and the West Side bridge
have not yet been carried away but are
seriously threatened. One man and a
team narrowly escaped drowning while
driving near the bridge when the jam
broke.

EASY TO TRAIN SHEPHERDS
Puppies Soon Learn If They Are Placed
With Ewes and the Lambs
Taken Away.

1t is easy enough to train shepherd
dogs If they are taken as pup
pies. When the sheep are lambing,
take lamb away from it's mother
and put the puppies on the eve. Keep
the eve tied up for few days and
see that the little puppies nurse her !;
then it will not be long until she will
of her lamb.
AS soon as the pups are old enough
to follow the sheep let them go with
the bunch and they will soon be TAX
ing care of the sheep. The dogs will
soon learn to take them out of the
sheds in the morning and bring them
back at night. And if strange dog
or wolf comes around, one dog will
stay and fight while another will start
the sheep for home. In lambing time
they keep the sheep close around the
ranch or camp, and seem to take on
a degree of intelligence that is mar
velous. They can soon be taught the
masters calls or signals and will obey
promptly. 1t is essential that they
shall be fed by some sort of system,
and it is we'll to have them understand
that this is their reward. If one has
a good working dog, it is surprising
how readily a young animal will learn
from the old one. But the masters do
not always have an old dog, and then
the trainer must play the dog himself
and do a little running. Everyone
has his own whistles or words of COM
mand, and dog soon catches on.-Ex-

New England.

HARTFORD, CT, March IL, 1918.
Since the State Council Of Defense
began to discourage the increase of to-
bacco acreage, the land used last year
for tobacco has been in big demand so
far this season by the large tobacco
syndicates, and they are now planning
to grow tobacco in large quantities.
Many of the smaller farmers have de-
cided,to lease their land this year to
these syndicates, for the reason that
they get fixed price for their land
and do not have to worry this year If
their crop is good or bad. Out-of-town
growers are paying from S75 to $50 an
acre, the condition and location regu-
lating the price per acre. 1t is under
stood that several growers in Suffield
have leased their land to outside par

Best Marked Roads i'm America.

Wisconsin will have the best and
most thoroughly coordinated system OF
road marking in America.
This is the opinion of students of the
road problem who have examined the
plans for the standardized marking of
the State Trunk Highway System, de-
vised by State Highway Engineer
Hirst.
On Wednesday, March II, at p. m.
at the office of the Wisconsin Highway
Commission at Madison, sealed bids
will be opened for the road markers
and signs. The proposals call for these
markers and signs to be of wood, steel
or concrete and approximately 5000 of
them will be placed on the 5000 mile
system. -. EEszl
The base or standard design to be
used is triangle with its apex at the
bottom and base line at the top. Each
of the State Trunk Highways will be
numbered-for instance, the number of
the road from Milwaukee to Madison
to the Mississippi river will be 10. The
state will issue road map which Will
be numbered accordingly. On each
mile of this road will be placed stand
ard road marker-a white post rising
four feet above the ground just outside
of the construction limits, with the
edge toward the road. On both sides
of this white post at the top will be
painted in black, the triangle design
and within it the phrase, Estate Trunk
Highway, 10. Wis" meaning that this
is State Trunk Highway IS. Beneath
the triangle will be the number OF the
mile, the mile numbering beginning at
the west end of the road.
All of the state trunk highways will
be similarly treated. There will be
5000 of these mile road markers. The
other road signs and markers are as
follows:
At the intersection of State Trunk
Highways sign eight feet high viii
be placed which will give the number
of the trunk highway, will have an ar
row pointing in each direction over the
cross roads and will give the name OF
the principal cities in each direction
and the distance from the intersecting
point.
The county line signs will be placed
on each county line, standing eight feet
high, and will have placed thereon the
names of both counties and the county
highway of each.
A patrol system will be placed on the
State Trunk Highways, patrolmen be-
ing in charge of sections of road. Al
the junction of patrol sections, signs
will be placed indicating the number OF
each patrol and the name of the patrol
man in charge.
The standard danger sign will stanG
eight feet above the road. the usua
triangle in shape, with red back
ground and white lettering. There viii
be three signs of this type, one indicat
ing dangerous curve, one dangerous
hill and the third a railroad crossing.
At the approach to school houses
churches and places where caution
should be exercised, there will be {
tSlow" sign of the same type as tbs
danger sign.
1t is expected that the work of put
ting out these signs and markers will
begin May and be completed July
