LEGISLATURE MEETS FEB. 10
Governor Philip Sets Date for Special
Session to Hear Many Bills.
Two Elections First.

Madison-The Wisconsin legislature
will meet in special session Feb. 10.
This date, as the opening, was fixed
by Gov. e. l.. Philip.
The call will go out soon and will In
clude few subjects. Gov. Philip has
received suggestions enough for leg
islation to accupy the attention of the
legislature for six months at least.
He WILL however, include only those
subjects which he believes to be nee
essary at this time, and in keeping
with his announcement made when
the special session was first decided
upon.
The call will be delayed somewhat
by the fact that the governor is COM
PEELED by law to call a special election
in the Marathon county district repre-
scented by Assemblyman d. S. Burnett,
and in the Winnebago county assem-
bly, district which was represented by
Assemblyman William Armenian. The
elections were set for Feb. u.
The whole legislative program will
be represented in bills prepared in the
executive Office so that the legislature
should be able to complete it's work
within a week.

SAVING FOR WAR POPULAR
PueIicher and Baird Tell Of Enthusi-
asm Shown at Meetings in
Northern Part Of State.

Milwaukee H. Puelicher, state
director for war savings, and Robert
Baird, state executive secretary, re
turned from tour through the north
ern part of the state, in the inteest OF
the war savings campaign.
Messrs. Puelicher and Baird visited
Marinette, Oconto, Green Bar and Ap-
pleton, at each OF which places large
public meetings were held, and the
campaign carefully outlined.
Mr.. Puelicher says: Eve found a
splendid optimism prevailing in every
city visited. In each place working or
CARNATIONS have been perfected, and
the campaign is well under way.
cat Marinette we addressed a meet
ing consisting of more than fifty work
ers. AT Green Bay and Appleton, each
more than 100 were assembled, and at
Oconto more than 200. In this latter
place particular enthusiasm was
shown.
Mr.. Puelicher says he feels more op-
timjstic than ever concerning the re-
suits, of the campaign in Wisconsin.
AS rapidly as possible he will visit
other points in the state to assist the
various county chairmen in getting
their organizations into thorough
working condition.

FREED OF EVASION CHARGE
Congressman Nelson and Son Acquit-
ted of Charge With Conspiracy
to Violate Draft Law.

Madison Judge Carpenter OF the
United States Circuit court, Chicago,
sitting in place of Judge Sanborn in
the District court at Madison, dismiss
sed the indictment which charged
Congressman John M. Nelson and his
son, Byron C. Nelson, with conspiracy
to violate the selective draft law.
The motion to quash was made by
Attorneys c. H. Crownhart and Ralph
M. Jackman, representing the Nelson's,
on suggestion from the judge that
the case involved only legal questions.
The court held that the act of Byron
Nelson in going to Canada sixteen
days before the draft law was passed
was something he had a right to do
and that his remaining in Canada fol-
lowing the enactment of the statute,
without registering was not in VIOLA
ton of law.
District Attorney A. C. Wolfe said
he intended to appeal from the deci-
sion to the United States Supreme
court.
The Indictment charging Byron Mel
son with failure to register, which is a
separate case, probably will not be
taken up at the present term of court.

GIVE CLEAN NEST MATERIAL
Hay, Straw, Excelsior, Leaves, ETC.,
Should BE Changed Often to
Prevent Disease.

The nest materials, such as hay,
straw, excelsior, leaves, etc., should
be changed occasionally as foul ma
terial is a good breeding place for
germs Of diseases. Insects are also
likely to harbor in the old nests If the
materials are not changed from time
to time.
At this season of the year attention
should be given to cleanliness. All
rubbish such as old nest materials
should be burned or carefully fumi-
gated and thrown in the manure heap.
The nest should be renewed with
clean, sanitary materials. Those who
do not think it makes much difference
to hens are badly mistaken. Hens
are not likely to stay in foul unsani-
tary nests and often 'steal their nest'
off where it is hard to find.
At this season of the year the great
est care should be taken to clean up
and spray against insects and dis
eases. IF care is taken now little dan
ger will be met. But precautions
should be taken now If the fowls are
to have chance.

EGGS FOR HOME USE
Water Glass Solution Is Recon-
nended as Best Plan.
Standard Grade Can Be Obtained at
Drug Stores for rs Cents per Gal
Ion-Dilute With Water
Boiled and Cooled.

prepared Specially by the United States
Agriculture)
In the spring, when they are plenti-
full, eggs may be preserved for home
use in solution Of water glass, so
that those laid during the fall and win
ter season may be available for mar
keting. A standard grade of water
glass can be obtained at drug stores
for IS cents per gallon, if bought in
moderately large quantities. Each
quart of water glass should be diluted
with ten quarts of water which has
been boiled and cooled. Only strictly
fresh, newly laid, clean eggs should be
placed in the solution. The eggs may
be packed in stone jars or crooks
which have been washed thoroughly
in scalding water and the water-glass
solution poured over them, or the eggs
may be placed daily in the solution by
putting them down in 1t carefully by
hand so as to avoid breaking or crack
ing them. The solution at all times
should cover the eggs to depth OF at
least two inches. The solution will not
injure the hands. The jars should be
put in a cool and preferably dark
place before the eggs are deposited in
them, and should not be moved, be-
cause breakage and loss may result.
The water-glass solution may become
cloudy, but this is a natural condition
and should cause no alarm.
I Eggs thus kept are good for all pur-
poses, but the shells break rather cas-
lily in boiling. This trouble can be
prevented by puncturing the end of the
shell with a pin or needle just before
boiling. Perhaps an occasional Gus
toner will be willing to buy eggs pre-
served in water glass, but they should
be sold for just what they are and at
a price mutually agreed upon by the
producer and customer.

AssEMBLYMAN HANSEN DIES
Body Of Prominent Wisconsin Demo-
crat Found in Manitowoc Home.
Revolver Near BY.

Manitowoc Assemblyman Carl
Hansen, Manitowoc, IS years old, a
democrat, and one of the most pic
turesque figures in the Wisconsin leg
islature, was found dead in his home
here. A revolver lay beside the body.
The police do not suspect foul play.
Mr. Hansen notified friends that he
was going out of the city for a few
days. But the chief of police, whom
he had always notified when leaving
his home unguarded, became suspi-
cious and investigated. Mr.. Hansen
had been dead several hours.
He was born in Manitowoc and al
ways made this his home. He is sur
vived by two brothers, A. G. Hansen,
Sturgeon Bay. He never married
For years Mr. Hansen had been
prominently identified with Wisconsin
politics and was considered one OF the
democratic leaders in the house. AT
one time he was spoken of as guberna-
torial timber, and invariably received
votes for speakership in the assem-
bly,. Up to few years ago he was a
farmer, but recently engaged in real
estate and insurance.
He was city treasurer in 1889, asses
sor, harbor master and alderman in
the following years, and was elected
to the assembly in 1910, 1912. 1914
and 1916.
Mr.. Hansen occupied front seat
in the lower house, and prided himself
on never being late or never missing
a roll call. Although he was often on
the minority side in the voting, it was
generally conceded that no man in the
legislature had more thorough grasp
on pending legislation. He debated al
most every subject brought up.
Gov e. L. Philip is expected to call
q special election to fill the vacancy.

MAY NOT PAY NEW MEMBERS
LEGISLATORS Elected to Fill Vacancies
May Lose Salaries Unless Spe-
ciaI Act Is Passed.

Observation-Disclosures of the Wiscon-
sin legislature elected at special cleo
lions to fill vacancies will not receive
the regular $500 salaries, unless there
is a special act of the legislature CIV
ing it to them. This is the opinion of
some of the best lawyers who have
examined the constitution.
The constitution of the state limits
the $500 salary to service at "regu-
lar session. At an extra session, no
additional compensation shall be al
lowed to any member thereof, except
for mileage.
The question of compensation to
newly elected members, some of whom
may have gone to expense in gaining
their elections, will probably come up
for consideration.

ABUNDANT SUPPLY or LITTER
Clean Straw Should Be Provided fol-
Winter Use-Renew at Least
Twice Monthly.

An abundant supply Of deep litter,
preferably clean straw, should be pro-
vided for winter use, renewing the
covering of all floors at least twice a
month. This is the hens punching
bag or gymnastic equipment to insure
winter health and vigor. Fortunately
straw is cheap this year, and it should
be used freely, as it is a great COM
fort to the hens in more ways than
one. Be sure there is something in it
worth digging for at least half or two
thirds of each day. The active hen
easily turns her feed into eggs, while
the overfed, inactive hen is unproft-
able as well as her scantily fed sister.
