Plan for Bounty on Blackbirds.
Why is a blackbird?

why Is DluCkDlTQI
That question must be solved by
the Wisconsin legislature. A bill will
be introduced soon to pay bounty
on blackbirds. But the great question
aside of whether or not the blackbird
is an asset is how much bounty should
be paid.
The first s.egestion was ooh, about
five cents apiece" Conservation war
dens held up their hands. "Why, that
would bankrupt the state'in one year"
"All right Wen make it cent" said
the committee. An amateur hunter in
the conservation commission at the
time, smiled and said: II see where !
get out of debt the first fall the law is
in effect. Men will be, able to make
about So to $40 day killing black
birds"
1t is reported that blackbirds swarm
about a million to an acre in a good,
ripe cornfield and do about as effective
work as dozen German machine guns
within the same area.
The friends of the blackbird will put
up a fight to save it from carnage by
telling of the millions of mosquitoes
and other pests it eats before it gets
to the corn.

fore the joint finance committee in be-
half of the mining school at Platte
vile, abolition of which has been rec
commended by the state board of edu-

IF you are going to abolish the min

has already been given to other state
industries, such as livestock breeding
and other farming activities" said
Platt Whitman, former state senator.
In defense of the school, it was said
the low attendance was due to enlist
ments In the army. Statistics quoted
showed enrolment had never exceeded
60 and the average was 30 students per
year.
From sentiment expressed by men,
bers of the finance committee after the
hearing, the mining school will not be
abolished, but will be conducted in a
more efficient manner.

Criticizes Soldiers on Farms Idea.

OfisiS'G~o SOiblNio vi dITlS tuCd.
"The present plan of the federal nd.
ministration for the settlement of re-
turned soldiers In community groups
and selected areas absolutely will not
do for conditions in the Great Lakes
region" declared Ii. l.. Russell, dean
of the Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture, before the state convention OF
Wisconsin real estate men here re,
Gently.
The government plan is to settle a
returned soldier on land reclaimed by
government labor under government
supervision and pay, the cost of re,
claiming and the price OF land to be
returned in longtime payments.
"This may be suited to conditions in
the irrigated sections of the West"
said Dean Russell, "but 1t is not for
Wisconsin.
"Forty thousand of Wisconsn's
10000 soldiers were from farms" de-
clared the dean. "If these 10000 boys
are to benefit by government assist

homes to go to some other spot select
ed by the government"
Dean Russell advocated construc-
tive policy which would help the Wis
consin men in service.
He believes in state policy which
will not only include the soldier, but
anyone else who wants to work for a
home and farm. Wisconsin is ready
to go ahead with intelligent settlement,
he said.

SAGE AND SULPHUR

It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore
Color, Gloss and At

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound

lustre to the hair when faded, streaked

proved by the addition of other In
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay grayl Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair taking one small strand at
time; By morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.-Adv.

Expect Action in seroer Case.

Feeling is general in legislative cir
Giles that Victor Berger will never take
his seat In congress and already talk
Is centered on who will be elected to
fill the place.
1t is believed that the first thing the
incoming congress will do will be TO
declare Bergers seat vacant. Then
the governor will call for a special
election and the secretary of state will
take legal steps for special primary.
Actual entrance of Berger into
prison does not automatically vacate
his seat, according to Attorney Gen
eral ]. ]. Blaine. Under the Constitu-
ton congress is judge of the Election
election returns and qualifications" Of
its members. The only step remaining
is for his attorneys to file a writ Of
error in the United States Supreme
court, says Mr.. Blaine.
