Alvin E. Jones of Oshkosh has been
found guilty OF violating the sugar
regulations. He admitted that OF the
1000 pounds of sugar that he sold he
Cakes Candy Company in May, he de,
livered 500 pounds on June 13' and did
not take the certificate as was then
required under the sugar regulations.
His contention is that the sale was
made in May and that he was within
his rights in delivering May order in
June without certificates. The swora
statement, however. of Cakes and Co,
filed in the Sugar Division on Jane Sth
reports no sugar contracted for frem
Mr. Jones. In view of this report by
Cakes and Co. it is apparent that the
delivery of 500 pounds In June with
out certificate was a violation OF the
sugar regulations. The business has
been closed during the week before
this hearing before the Enforcement
Division of the State Food Admins
tration, and Mr.. Swenson ordered that
it remain closed until July 5th and
that Mr.. Jones pay 500 to the Bed
Cross Chapter Of Oshkosh.

DANGEROUS WELLS AND
SPRINGS

1t is indeed modest property own
er who will not boast of his we'll. The
GOODNESS, clearness and general ex-
cellence of their water supplies is a
favorite topic of conservation with
thousands of people. .
When Investigations have been
made by sanitary experts the water
Of many of these wells and springs
has shown pollution, time and again.
This means that it is positively dan
gerous for human consumption, Un-
fortunately, water may appear clear
and be agreeable in taste when it con-
talns sewage organisms which may
cause typhoid fever or dysentery when
taken into the system. Much of our
rural typhoid is due to polluted wells
and springs.
No we'll should be located near q
cesspool, privy or barnyard where
the drainage from one of these places,
by seepage through the water bear
ing strata can reach it directly or in
directly. In limestone country there
is particular danger that sewage or
animal wastes may find their way
through hssures in the rock and may
re-appear many miles away in some
subterranean stream which serves as
water supply.
Open wells are particularly liable
to pollution and all wells should be
carefully walled and covered to pre-
vent them from direct drainage con-
tamination The close proximity of
possible sources of pollution should be

This new way to rid ones feet of corns

If the above statement of her ac-
count is correct and the two items of

where was the $160 missing at the
time the cash was counted?
AS to the engagement of Rev. Nor
ril for the commencement address,
the Doctor seems to have hired the
said gentleman by proxy. Not much
credit to the Normal, is 1t, that such
an important matter should be left
to some one who is not connected
with the school?
The Doctor does not deny that he
went to Pierre and asked for the APP
pointment of an investigating COM
mittee, and that after dropping the
matter, he was at a later date elect
ed president to our Normal. Nor
does he deny that Prof. May was en-
ployed during the fall and winter
terms to teach his classes.
He also fails to invite an investi-
eating or checking over of Boarding
club accounts from the time he came
to Madison. On the other hand, he
says that: These itemized bills are

IDENTIFY thinks that some of the rec
ords are missing; but, even so, an

The Doctor says that the system
of accounting used in the Boarding
club is not lax. How did it come
that the Board of Regents thought
best to change it, and from now on
treating Boarding club funds same
as Normal funds proper?
The Doctor states that the next
day I called Mr.. Campbell, a member
of the Board of Regents. a liar.

CURRENT COMMENT
War Work Must Not Be Stopped.

The charge made on the floor of the
National Senate yesterday that 81 900
striking employees in Massachusetts, and
1000 in New Jersey failing in their
duty and giving aid and comfort to the
enemy" brings to this state publicity
in which II cannot take pride, That the
charge contains degree of truth is
particularly to be regretted. There have
been labor disturbances all over the
country; and though it seems scarcely
Just that Massachusetts, and New Jersey
alone should be arraigned, our state GER
tainly is experiencing it's full share Of
the trouble.
Wherever lies the blame for the I'M
fortunate suspension OF war work re-
sulting from these strikes, we can be-
lieve that no individual concerned has
deliberate intention to cripple our army
while il is face to face with the enemy
in France. There is, perhaps, a lack of
perspective; failure of certain employ
ers and employees to realize the tremen-
dous necessity for keeping production at
a maximum. The success of our military
operations abroad is absolutely depend
emit upon the production of war materials
at home. Nothing should be allowed to
interfere with the production for single
hour.
Months ago employer and employee,
acting through their national organiza-
tions, agreed to settle whatever differ
ences might arise between them in the
course Of the war by means which would
prevent interruption of industry. To that
end the national war labor board was
created by President Wilson, composed
Of representatives Of employers and of
labor. To it should be referred for set
Element all labor troubles. Unfortu-
nately in many cases such action has not
been taken. Strikes and suspension of
war work has resulted.
1t has been suggested that just as
the government would conscript war in
dustries that failed to keep up produc-
tion in time of need, so labor which
has ceased to produce should be con-
scripted. Such suggestion is deplora-
Bile. Even more deplorable is the occa-
sion for it.
1t is squarely up to every individual,
be he employer or employed, to adjust
labor troubles as quickly as possible
and without further suspension of in
dustry. Each must realize that he is
vital factor in the gigantic struggle in

The Midsummer Garden.

"Crop rotation means in the vegetable
garden simply following a top crop with
root crop, or vice versa" says the gar
den editor of the Woman's Home Com
panion in the August issue. Don't put
lettuce or peas where early cabbage grew,
but put beets, turnips or radishes in
these places, and the lettuce and peas
where the early beets and turnips were
I'm addition to replanting every inch
of space that has furnished an early
crop, there are two things to bear in
mind as important now. One is to keep
the garden free of dead vegetable tops
pea vines, beans, bushes or vines, and all
the things that have finished fruiting.
And the other is TO pick everything con-
stantly, and do your picking early in the
morning, while the vegetables and the
air are yet cool. Even If you are not GO
ing to be able to use all of the days
YIELD gather everything green
corn; then put the vegetables away
wrapped in cabbage leaves, in dark,
cool place, or in the ice box. Pick every
thing Just a little ahead of its maturity,
rather than even an hour beyond it. All
vegetables are better just before they
are full grown
Screen corn, however, is the one thing
that should be just fully matured-and
should not be picked until it can 60 from
the garden into the pot of boiling water,
and thence to the table. This is because
the sugar in corn turns to starch within
"a hours of its gathering-and begins to
turn the very moment it is picked The
sooner il can be cooked, therefore, and
the SMEAR fixed the sweeter and more
delectabe it is
