BUSY Session
CITY COUNC|L
Passing Of the Old and the In
ductiOn Into Office Of the
New Mayor and Three
New COuncilmen

Last night was q busy session Of
the city council. Mayor Wright wai
out Of town and the president Of the
council, Mr.. Geo. W. Skies, acted al
mayor. All of the old cOuncilmen were
present.
The minutes Of previous meetings
were read and approved; marshal's re-
port accepted and placed on file;
Judge English's report for the month
showing a collection in fines of
$122,20, read and approved.
Four appropriation ordinances were
passed. The first was for the current
expenses Of the city in the sum of
s741.21. The second was for ]. P.
Phipps, $782.51, for work on deep
well. The third was $63.75 for clean
ing up the work in the Library Park
left by the sewer ditch made by the
Empire people. The fourth was for
$16 for cemetery improvement.
A representative Of the Empire
Construction Co. had a bill for work
before the council. At the last coun-
ell meeting the bond of $4,000 of this
company was rejected and the city no
tilted the company to stop work until
their bond had been raised to $4,000
and approved by the council. The COM
pany stopped work and after secur-
ing the bond of 10000 and returning |
to the city with it, they resumed work
before the council had had a chance to
approve the bond, and for this time
the bill last night was presented. No
action was taken on this bill although
the council went on record that it
would be paid. There was a general
discussion of this matter and finally
q motion was made to induct the new
mayor and councilmen into office and
let the matter be taken care of by
them, as the proposition of the sewer
contract with the Empire people
hinged on the payment of the bill. On
the motion the council stood three and
three-a tie-the mayor being out of
town.
After further discussion, the new
mayor and the three new councilmen '
took the oath of office and were sworn J
in by the city clerk.
Mayor Murdoch was called on for n
speech and responded in a shortcut :
business way which brought applause. y
The new councilmen also made short Il
,alks which were received with credit. n
The retiring councilmen promised to o
lid the new administration in what s
.ver way they could which was re- Il
:eived in happy spirit by all. n
For the purpose of getting down to o.
BUSINESS on the sewer contract and 81
moving matters along in the interest p
f harmony, an adjourned meeting u
vas called for Friday night of this IL
week. ol

FRENCH GO BACK TO CANDLES
Scarcity of Materials Used for LIGHT.
ing Has Led to Revival of
an Ancient Art

While the war has wrecked some In
dustries in France, 1t has at the same
time created new ones and revived
older crafts. An excellent and inter.
esting example of the latter is the art
Of candlesuck making, which has
taken on a new lease of life. Even In
some of the big towns there are houses
which are not supplied with gas, where
before the war petroleum or spirit was
used for lighting purposes. Now that
the use Of these 10 restricted closely.
recourse has to be made to the old
fashioned candle.
This is true In the country especial
ly where candlestieks are in great de-
mand, and every one is buying them
according to his means or fancy. At
first they were made of copper, but
when that metal became scarce brass
was employed. Some of the modern
examples have several branches and
are very artistic.
A domestic art metal morker at Ak
who has specialized in this kind OF
work, and has become quite a celebrity
las just constructed q series of tall
iron candIesticks Of very solid proper
lions which can hold several candles.
They have been critically inspected By
art metal critics and are claimed to
be true works OF art, and to appeal to
all lovers Of ironwork. -Scientific

brokers by the Chicago packers and
flows through their organizations to
the consuming public. The little pro-
ducer who starts cheese business
runs up against this proposition. He
must either sell to the brokers, who
sell to the packers, who sell to the pub
lie, or he must build up market of
his own--and building up n market is
a phase of the Wisconsin cheese In
dustry that has been sadly neglected.
Trying to Boost Cheese.
"The food administration Is conduct
ing campaign to get the people to
eat more cheese. Before the war the
average amount of cheese consumed
daily by each person In the United
States was only fraction of an ounce
just enough to bait mouse trap.
The American people have looked up
on cheese ms tldbit or as something
to eat with pie on occasions. We are
now trying to make cheese substan-
tial part of the American meal"

Just to prove that II wasn't all by
accident, members Of the poultry de-
partment at the Wisconsin College Of
Agriculture repeated last years feat
of Matching ostriches in an ordinary
incubator.
Thirty ostriches were Matched in the
Incubator in 1917, and thus far In 1918.
2S young and healthy birds have been
presented TO the Villas Park zoo at
Madison, which supplied the eggs.
The last hatch of the season is still
In the incubator.
Needless to say, O. N. Johnson. who
undertook the task of Matching the
eggs. is more of fancier of barnyard
fowl than of ostrich. His theory was
TO follow the natural conditions OF
Matching In the ostrich family. and to
discover the conditions required con-
siderable reading on ostrich-ology. IN
fortunately. commercial breeders OF
the birds are not inclined to reveal the
Information. so Mr.. Johnson was real
pioneer.
Commercial breeders have specially
made incubators, and Mr.. Johnson
proposed to use n modified chicken In
cubator. Prominent zoo men de-
clared to him that eggs from hen os-
triches kept in captivity were Infer
tile, and went so far as TO offer him
$50 for each ostrich hatch from the
lone hen of the Villas Park zoo. (The
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1919-01-08

poultry department has never been
able to collect the $1,000 now due,
Mr.. Johnson based his handling OF
the hatch on the fact that the eggs are.
under natural conditions. Ineubated by
both the male and female birds, so
that the eggs are cooled at least twice
day. He also found the normal tenn
perature of the ostrich. He then re-
modelled the incubator to suit the size
of the ostrich egg, which is more than
% times the size of a hens egg. So
well die he calculate that every egg
but one Matched on the forty-second
day. two matches have been perfect.
and the results have been equally as
good as In Matching ordinary eggs.
Although the commercial value OF
the experiment Is very doubtful. the
poultry department finds In 1t proof Of
the possibilities of common-sense APP
plication of incubators to natural con-
ditions. Incidentally, the success of
the prosaic poultry raisers as opposed
TO the failure of the wild life special
lists Is somewhat dwelt upon by OBJ
servers of the experiment. In the two
years which have gone by since the
first successful hatch, no one has dis
puted that the Wisconsin poultry de-
partment is the first agency which pro-
duced young ostriches from eggs laid
by captive bird and Matched in an or
binary incubator.

What must Germany pay for7

what must Germany pay fort
That question can be adequately an

that Germany started the terrible con-

than that of conquest and loot; start
ed It only to satisfy the selfish ambi-
lions of a selfish people for world
domination. That is being admitted
today by what is LEFT of the German
nation; 1t is admitted by those who
we're directly responsible for the war.
And 1t is because Germany started
this conflict for no reason other than
that of conquest and loot that Ger

for all the devastation which the war
has brought, not only In so far as she
can pay now, but in so far as she can
pay for generations yet to come.
Among the many, many sections of
Belgium and northern France that I
personally covered, following closely
on the heels of the retreating Hun
army, was that which lies between
what were the cities of Ypres and
Menin, approximately 20 miles apart.

the most productive soil of the world,
and the most intensely cultivated.

BEST TO MILK THOROUGHLY
Practice VIII Result in Getting More
Milk During Laetation Period
Benefits Cow.

II is extremely important that cows
be MIXED thoroughly, says a writer.
When milk is left in the udder at one
milking period II remains there until
the next. Thorough milking will re-
suit In getting from a half-pint to q
pint more milk at each milking dur
Ing the lactation period. The more
milk a COW is made to produce the
more capable she is Of keeping up the
performance. Strength physically is
gained by exercise and using strength.
An athlete who uses his strength
properly becomes more proficient and
capable of performing greater feats.
II is much the same with the milk
producing qualities Of dairy COW.
When the COW is MIXED thoroughly
each time, her capacity to produce the
maximum quantity OF milk ia main
tanned and she will get the habit" Of
transforming her food into milk and
butterfat instead Of 50 much into the
body fat and growth. Failure to do
