BURNQu|sTLOssEs GRIP
Control Of Minnesota
Legislature Appears Slipping.
Their Legislature" Would Pass Bills
They Sought, Protecting Them
Against Farmer-Labor Organizations

Macn1n0 POLITICIANS, known as the
Burnquist organization In Minnesota,
are rapidly losing their grip on the
Minnesota Legislature which they
boasted before the session, to have.
Prior to the session, 1t was boasted
by the machine m~anipulators that they
would have complete control OF the
legislature. which they said would
give the machine protection from po-
litical organizations other than their
own. This protection would consist at
laws which would make it possible fof
Governor Burnquist or his successors
to put in jail any man guilty of form
ing any organization out of sympathy
with the state administration. The
governor openly advocated such a law
in his legislative message-but there
r numerous indications that the Min
nesota legislature has no intention Of
passing it. NJ 4
During the 1917 legislature Cover
nor Burnquist vetoed an appronria-
ton calling for state aid fprs rural
schools, and vetoed another appropria.
ton to. pay wolf bounties, giving farm.
ers protection from the wolf menace.
To this, the legislature this year sharp
~ replied, by rushing through appro.
priations providing for the very. things
that the governor had vetoed. Thus
the legislature again forced the COVER
nor to place himself on record as to
rural schools and protection Of farmers
from wolves. His action in 1917 put
him on record as opposing these meas

sage, admitted the existence OF evils in
the farm marketing situation, and In
other agricultural conditions, but he
offered no means for amelioration OF
the evils, more plausible than sending
more physicians into the rural districts
and placing them under more direct
authority Of the state board OF health.
Introduction Of bills has been thu
chief work OF the Legislature, which
was only in session ten hours during
the first eight days Of its existence.
There Is q strong inclination on the
part of the legislature, toward dilatory

FARM PICNICS IN 20
MICHIGAN COUNTIES

East Lansing, Aug. 11.-Twenty-
nine Michigan counties, scattered over
the entire State, are holding midsum-
mer picnic gatherings during the
month of August. At these meetings
the work of the past year is being re-
viewed and plans are being laid for a
more progressive farmers organiza-
ton during the coming seasons, the
farm bureaus having reached a point
in their organization where they are
ready to take up various farm prob
lens from statewide point of view
During the last four years the num-
Der of county farm bureaus in Michi-
gan has increased nearly 400 per cent.
At the present time there are nearly
70 active bureaus in the State, with a
total of $40 local community commit
tees serving as district organizations
under the county groups, and being
affiliated with the county bureaus.
The impetus given agricultural work
by the war, together with the demand
from the farmers of Michigan for
better organization, has been respon-
sible for the remarkable growth of
the farm bureau system.
At the picnics which are being held
over the state as midsummer gather
ings, the farmers of the different
counties will compare notes on the
running of their business, and also
build up a social acquaintanceship
with their neighbors.

PRESIDENT VIOLATES LAW

Washington, August 9.-That the
President is acting in direct disobedi-
ence of the law enacted by Congress
and signed by him in permitting Sec
rotary of War Baker and Food Ad-
Illustrator Hoover to hold up the sale
of immense government stores of can
ned goods and meats is charged in a
resolution introduced in the House by
Representative Wood, of Indiana.
He quotes the national security and
defense act of 1917 to prove that the
President was authorized to secure an
equitable and fair distribution of food,
to provide storage facilities for it, sell
it for cash at reasonable prices, and
prevent the boarding of it, his author
ity to end only with his proclamation
stating that the war with Germany
has terminated.
Wood then declares that the govern
ment supply of canned goods is held
up until this years vegetables have
been canned, and that meats and fats
are to be disposed of in order to main
tain a steady flow into the market,
that his has increased the cost of liv-
ing, and that the President should,
therefore, report to Congress just
what arrangements of this sort have
been made by him.

FORDNEY WOULD STOP
FOREIGN DUMPING HERE

Washington, August 11.-Prepara.
tons are being made by Chairman j
w. Fordney, of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House, for a COM
plete revision of the tariff late in the
autumn following upon hearings held
until then to place it upon scientific
basis.
This will be the first Republican
tariff measure to be enacted since the
Dingley and Payne laws, the first en-
acted Immediately after the hard
times of the Cleveland administration
when Mckinley took office in 1897,
and the other during the Taft incum-
bency of the White House, when the
need of high duties had been demon
strated in order to meet the intensive
productive methods of Germany ana
other commercial countries in Europe.
On the committee are some of the
ablest business men and lawyers in
the House, including Moore of Penn
sylvania, Green of Iowa, Longworth
of Ohio, Hawley of Oregon, Treadway
of Massachusetts, Copley of Illinois,
Mott of New York, Young of North
Dakota, Frear of Wisconsin, Tilson of
Connecticut, Bacherach of New Jersey,
Hadley of Washington, Undertake of
Colorado and Bowers of West Vir-
ginia.
Two new features will distinguish
the new law from its predecessors.
These have been worked out by Chair
man Fordney. One of them provides
the fullest protection of American
producers against the encroachments
of foreign-made goods. This is an an
ti-dumring clause to prevent foreign
manufacturers from selling their
goods in this country at a lower price
than in their own. The other is the
imposition of an ad valorum duty on
the valuation of imported goods as
estimated upon arrival in this country
instead of where manufactured. Thus
there will be no opportunity on the
part of foreign manufacturers to mis-
take the valuation. Upon arrival here
the goods will be given valuation
such as to make the cost even with
that for the same articles in the Unit
ed States.
eff we had the Payne rates in oper-
alton now, instead of those of the Un-
derwood law" said Chairman Ford
mel to your correspondent, tive should
now have an additional income with !
which to help meet the expenses of
the federal government of between
$500, 900, 900 and $500, 100000 annual
ly. Our rates are now lower than any
other great industrial country in the
world. They should be raised not only
to produce more revenue, but to pro-
tect our producers so that our home
market may be preserved to us and
presently upheld against the bitter
competition of Europe"

Such course of action on the part
Of Mr.. Wilson would not only be su-
preme insult to the Senate, but would
arouse the people to such a pitch Of
militant resentment that they would
demand drastic action by the House.
Surely the trainers of the Constitu-
ton could have contemplated no grea-
ter "misdemeanor" on the part of the
President than the soliciting of for
eign interference in the making of
our treaties.

LIME SHOWS PROFIT
ON MICHIGAN SOILS

East Lansing, Aug. 12.-That the
yield per acre on many Michigan soils
can be increased tremendously by the
use of lime and complete fertilizers
is shown by figures recently given out
by DR.. M. M. McCool, head of the
Soils Department at the Michigan
Agricultural College. The figures are
based upon extensive tests carried out
in different parts of the State by the
college soils specialists, and represent
an accurate study of average condi-
tions.
In fertility tests carried out on
light soils in Southwestern Michigan
by DR.. McCool and G.. M. Grantham,
the use Of lime alone is found to in
crease the acre value of rye from
$19.75 to $37.25. The use of lime and
high grade complete fertilizer in the
same series of tests increases the
acre value to $49.80. The complete
fertilizer used was composed of fifty
pounds of nitrate of soda applied at
the time of seeding, fifty pounds ap-
piled in the spring as top dressing,
and two hundred and fifty pounds of
acid phosphate and one hundred
pounds of potash applied to soy beans
the previous year.
The typical heavy soils of Central
Michigan were also found to respond
well to treatment. Tests carried on
by DR.. McCool and c. E. Millar re-
turned $16.20 per acre above the cost
of treatment when an application of
lime and acid phosphate costing SO
per acre was made. Where lime, nj
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
costing approximately $1,000 per
acre were used, the returns were
| $43.50 per acre above the cost of
the treatment. showing clearly the
actual cash returns from the use of
proper fertilizers.
| Information regarding fertilizers
and tests to determine the proper fer
tilizers for any soil may be had by
writing to M. M. McCool, Soils De-
partment, M. A. c., East Lansing.

NO CONSENT REQUIRED

Mr.. Wilson holds to the view that
any reservation the Senate may make
in the peace treaty must be acceptable
to the allies, and those who have talk
ed with him say that the plain infer
ence of his remarks was that if
amendments to the treaty are made
he will submit them to the foreign
governments, and attempt to charge
the delay incident to such negotiations
to those Senator who sought to
amend. If that is a correct interpre-
tation of the Presidents mind, and he
undertakes to carry out such pro-
gram, he will lay himself open to
grave charges that may well invoke
the power of impeachment possessed
by the House of Representatives.
Mr.. Wilson must bear in mind that
no foreign government is part OF the
treaty-making power of the United
Estates. The enemies of Germany
gathered together for mutual counsel
in the framing of a treaty. Those ma
tions that had entered into a previ-
Gus agreement not to sign separate
peace were DOunu W Idhc JoihI dSeioi'
with each other, but the United States
has always been free to act indepen-
IDENTIFY. The making of peace is a clos
ed incident to those countries that
have given their consent to the trea-
ty. 1t remains for the United States
to accept, amend, or reject the treaty
that the President has presented TO
the Senate.
1t will be Germany's privilege to ac-
cept the amendments of the United
States or not as she sees fit, but for
any other nation to inject itself in,o
the negotiations between this country
and Germany, and attempt to dictate
to the United States Senate the form
its amendments shall take would be
an unheard of piece of international
effrontery. Even if the President
should invite other nations to pass
done, it is unthinkable that his invi-
Judgment on what the Senate had
tation would be accepted

An old Pioneer of Kenosha.

Abram Morris was born in Syracuse,
New York, in 1843. At very early
age he came with his parents to Keno
sha and from that time until few
years ago when advancing age forced
him to retire he was well known and
prominent citizen of Kenosha. For
many years he was employed as an en-
gineer in the Kenosha harbor and he
was well known along the lake ports.
In Kenosha he became a member of
the Kenosha lodge of Masons, being
one Of the first to take the obligations
Of the order here. He was also mem
Der of the Kenosha chapter of Royal
Arch Masons, and years ago of the Ke-
nosha lodge of Odd Fellows. At the
time of his death he was member Of
the Excelsior lodge of Masons in Mil
waukee, having had his membership
transferred there only few years ago.
Survived by Six Children.
Mr.. Morris was married in Kenosha
many years ago to Miss Mary Hough-
ton, who preceded him in death several
years ago. To this happy union were
born six children, all of them surviving
their father. The surviving children
are: Mrs. O. E. Clifford, of Kenosha;
Mrs. George Becker, of Chicago; Mrs.
Austin Duffy, of Milwaukee; Mrs, Net
tie Price Of Kenosha and George A.
and W. H. Morris Of liner Grove, Min
nesota. In recent years Mr.. Morris
had made his home with his sons in
Minnesota and he was en- route to Ke-
nosha to spend Christmas with his
daughters in Wisconsin when he was
stricken with the fatal sickness at Mil
waukee.
The funeral services will be held on
Friday afternoon at three clock at
the Masonic Temple with the Kenosha
lodge of Masons in charge of the cere-
monies. The remains will be laid to
rest in the family plot in the Green

BUYING THE HOLIDAY BIRD.


Not SO many years ago, fowls were
killed in the morning to be eaten for
supper. Housewives in those days had
to rely on the poultry brought to their
doors in farmers wagons and baskets
for their table supply. As distances
between the fowlraising districts and
the consumer became greater, poultry
was packed in ice in such a fashion
that it would last for a week. This
method, which to certain extent ex-
lists today, is most unsatisfactory and
fowls so packed are often unfit for
consumption. Such methods Of ice
packing are not to be compared with
the system of refrigeration which car
ries the poultry in cars cooled to the
exact temperature required and kept SO
during the long trip by renewal of ice
and salt which, Of course never touches
the contents.
There is no better illustration of the
improvement in food standards than
the manner in which fowls are raised,
killed, transported, graded and offered
to the consumer, in comparison with
the haphazard system in vogue not
many years ago. This has become a
highly specialized business. Improper
ly handled poultry is still on the mar
ket. The intelligent housewife can,
however, guard herself against buying
it and putting it on her table by buy
ing fowl by brand or house name. The
best New York hotels demand Stills
poultry. The know they will get cor
rect quality, weight and quick service.
The retail consumer may have the
same kind of protection by patronizing
house with national reputation.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1919-12-25

The big concerns that handle first
grade poultry do so in large quantities
Their buyers comb the Corn Belt of the
Middle West; Oklahoma is prolific in
poultry, and Texas has quantities Of
turkeys. These fowls are all sciehti-
fically fed and reared. The barnyard
fowl is scavepger-add to that the
fact that there is no flesh so quickly
tainted with improper food as that Of
Towel, and you will demand properly
fed fowls. First-class fowls, bred for
the market are fed on the best corn
flour, with the judicious addition of
butter and pure meat juice. The result
is not only triumph of delicate, clean
flesh, but gastronomic delight.
The manner by which poultry raised
in remote parts Of the country gets to
the city markets in perfect condition is
very interesting. The stock is bought
from the farmers and carried to vari-
GUS feeding stations, where the fatten-
ing process is generally continued from
eight to fourteen days under the most
modern conditions, light and air and
scientifically balanced ration. Some
breeds will double weight during this
period. Great care is taken in trans
porting the stock to the feeding sta
tions. Turkeys for instance are harm
ed by tying and putting in wagons.
Prime turkeys now are slowly driven
along the road, perhaps thousand at
time, fed and rested at intervals and
this is one of the sights of the turkey
raising districts. Turkeys are not al
lowed to roost, for the reason that
this bends the breast bone. The straight
breast-bone and flat filet are one Of
the standard marks of first-class tur-
keys.

CHEESE AS AN ALL ROUND FOOD

All good cheese are pure, healthful
foods, the high flavors being due to
natural ripening processes.
Cheese and bread is very popular
form of food in England, and it is
eaten by all classes. Being an eco
nomical food, it is eaten to larger
extent by the laboring classes who,
owing to the sort of work they do,
require a good tissue builder at a mod
crate price.
Many people do not eat cheese be-
cause they find it constipating. How
over. when bran bread and fruit are
added . it will be found that this
trouble viii usually be overcome. The
majority of the cases of indigestion
and constipation are largely due to
the fact that the average American is
in such hurry to eat his meals that
he does not properly masticate his
food.
If the growing boy or girl, who is
so active, were given luncheon of
cheese, bread and fruit in place Of
cake and sweets (Which is the com
mon habit among the American peo-
ple), there is no doubt that they would
develop more robust constitution.

"I believed that we were married, I"
Miss Josephine Lupia told the police
officers last night following the arrest
Of Samuel Ferraro on a statutory charge
and she repeated her statement in court
this morning when the man was held in
bonds of seven hundred dollars for an
adjourned hearing set for December 80.
Fcrraro was arrested by Kenosha police
on his return after being in Chicago
for ten days and his supposed wife had
complained to the district attorney
charging him with failure to support
her. The investigation brought out the
facts that regardless of the belief of
the woman that she had been married
to Ferraro four months ago, there had
never been wedding ceremony.
Got License mo Marriage.
The comely little woman told the Of
ficials this morning that she had gone
with Ferraro to the marriage license
bureaus at the county building. That
she had answered many questions and
had been given paper and that
she went away believing that she was
a bride. She admitted that there had
been no further ceremonial in connection
with the. marriage After securing
the license for the marriage the couple
had gone to live at house at 855 Pearl
street and they were living there when
the supposed husband left and went to
Chicago a little over ten days ago.
Ready to Go on With Marriage.
The young woman declared in the
Municipal Court this morning that she
was ready and willing to go to a priest
and have the wedding ceremony proper
" sanctioned by the church and the
law, but the man as he was led away
to Jail declared that he was unwilling
to marry the woman. No charge Of any
kind was made against the young WON
an and the officials declared that if she
had been guilty of any wrong doing she
had been guilty on account Of the fact
that sh ewas ignorant of the law.
There is no doubt but this woman
believed that she had been properly
married to Ferraro,' declared Detec-
tive Rock, "and the discovery made
by the officials has come as terrible
disappointment to her.
The accused man is tailor and he
is said to have resided in Kenosha for
number Of years. He had no police
record. 1t is believed that friends of
the young woman will be able to per-
suade him to keep his promise to her
and marry her some time between now
and the date set for the adjourned
hearing of the case.
