Dr.. Hansen Dead.

DR.. Martin Hansen, age 81 years,
for many years a respected resident OF
Phelps, died Tuesday evening, March
l6; at 1870. Death was due to acute
indigestion. Deceased was born in
Michigan and was graduate of To
ronto Veterinary College. OF his
early life not much is known, but
twelve years ago he entered the ern-
ploy of the kley-Phelps- Bonnell
Company as veterinarian in charge OF
their barns. He was faithful work
er, enjoying his chosen profession and
displaying a love for the dumb ami
mails with which he worked, that was
truly an index to the character OF his
life. He was the friend OF all who
knew him, especially the little chill
dren, who made him their companion
in all the pleasures of their little
lives. The remains were laid to rest
in the Phelps cemetery Thursday aft
ernoon, the company closing all their
business while the last rites were be-
ing said for the man who had made
his community the better for having
lived in it. No relatives are left to
mourn, but all of Phelps will miss
him in their daily walks Of life.

Germs Often SIandered.

GrOteSQue pictures OF disease germs
freely used in some kinds of health
teaching have led people to think of
the causes of disease as fiendish imps
of dark brown color skipping through
the air seeking victims upon whom
to work their deyiltry AS matter
Of fact most disease germs are plants
and without legs upon which to skip.
They are quite incapable of dancing
about alone.
While more than 1900 kinds Of
germs exist, only so to Is varieties
produce disease. In fact there are
three entirely different kinds Of
germs harmless germs which make
up the largest number in germ life,
disease germs of which there are a
relatively small number, and posi-
lively helpful germs.
|, Unlike Topsy, germs never "just
grow" That is, they never ''evolve".
from nothing. They come from the
parent plant or animal as other
plants and animals do Freque ntly
the parent germ separates in two.
Each half grows and separates IN
turn, and so on until in a marvellous
ly short time there appears a marvel
ously large family of germs.
Since each germ comes from par
ent plant, it is evident that the no.
tion that germs spring full-blown
from dust is all wrong. Even
though small family of disease
germs has been deposited in dirt
heap, it is not particularly likely to
flourish there. Most human disease
germs like warm animal home.
Within the human body they are
likely to flourish Outside the body
of a person or some other animal,
they tend to die.
Germs Of all kinds are constantly
being passed from one person to
another. Unless they are disease
germs, commonly no harm is done.
They escape from the body in the
discharges of mouth, nose, bladder
and bowel. And, as has been said,
contrary to ideas which the cartoons
give us, they don't jump from victim
to victim. To get about they must
be carried. Germs are carried chiefly
either on soiled hands or on droplets

Absent Minded? Maybe.

We are reliably informed that a
shameful act was committed in the
clubrooms over the Review Office one
night last week and which happened
to be one of those March nights when
pedestrians swear profusely, and Oft
en-, profanely. 1t seems that the two
bank cashiers were playing cards with
Jim Parfitt and some other 'schaus-
kopff'' fiends, and, finally, somewhat
before his usual time, Tom Mac
quaker quit and went home. Later,
when Chas. Wiegand got ready to go
he discovered his new pair of rubbers
missing and not even an old pair in
their place. He lives at the extreme
end of Wall Street, a right smart lit
tie walk at any time and especially so
when the ground and walks are COW
cred with glare ice. After sliding in
and out of nearly all the front
yards along the route he managed to
reach home, and the conclusion that
who ever had his rubbers was both
'unprincipled and criminal to the last
degree. When his wife wanted to
know where on earth he'd been, he
answered, everywhere, and she said
she was glad the baby wasn't old
enough to understand such awful lam
guage as its father used. After he
got down town next morning Mac
quaker called up and asked if he
missed his rubbers the night before
and that he had taken them by mis-
take. Wiegand said that was a queer
mistake for anyone to make that had
been wearing four buckle overshoes
all winter and that he'd like to get
a complete outfit of clothes as cheap
as that.

GO. BOARD IN PROTEST
Pass Resolution Directing to
Early Dates Set for 1920
Wis. State Fair.

At it's recent meeting the county
board of supervisors of Villas county
unanimously adopted the following
resolution protesting against the 1920
state fair dates, which are set for
August 30 to September l.
Whereas, there has been presented
for the consideration of the board of
supervisors communication referring
to and discussing the state fair dates
fixed for 1920 which said communica-
tion was sent out by the Wisconsin
State Fair Board, O. E. Remey, secre-
tary, and by G. 2. Norgord, commits

should be held, and
Whereas, we are fully convinced
that the dates set for the 1920 state
fair are too early to permit Of the ex-
hibiting matured crops and fruits;
CHOW, therefore be it resolved, by
the County Board of Villas County
that we hereby register our most en-
phatic protest and objection to the
early dates set for the 1920 state fair,
and hereby most urgently request the
State Fair Board to hereafter fix the
dates for our state fair at least two
weeks later than the 1920 dates
The early state fair dates for this
year have brought forth much protest
from this end of the state, it being
too early in the season for the upper
counties to show mature crops.

WILL
HAVE A BIG TASK
Reproducing of Political
Districts of State Will be
Made During the
1921 Session.

One interesting piece of work
which will keep the legislature busy
for many days during it's 1921 session
starting next January will be the re-
apportioning of political districts. Be-
cause of the big change in population
much greater in some localities
than others, the task is expected to
be huge one, while substantial
changes in the proportional represen-
tation of various areas in the state
may occur
The state constitution requires
that at the first session following the
federal census the legislature shall
apportion and district anew the mem
bers of the senate and the assembly
according to the number of inhabi-
tants. 1t is further provided that
the number of assemblymen shall
never be less than "a nor more than
100, that the senate shall be at least
one-fourth and not more than one
third as large as the assembly, and
that no assembly district shall be di-
vided in the formation of the senate
district.
The population of the state in 1890
was 1856, $50; in 1900, 100000, and in
1910, 1888, 800. Compared with this
growth of 800, 900 to 100000 it is said,
the next census may show an increase
to well over 5000, OOO-say between
100000 and 100000.
The southern part of the state with
the commercial and industrial enter
prises and the more intensive farm
ing, has always had the deHser popu-
lation. 1t is suggested, however,
that disproportionate share of the
growth has been in the southern
counties during the decade and that
this will give the south half still fur
ther control of state policies.
AS evidence of this tendency in the
growth, attention is called to the nu-
merous one time flourishing lumber
centers upstate which have lam
guished, and to the booming cities Of
the sosath, both large and small, from
GAINESVILLE and Fort Atkinson to Mil
sAGee and Racine, some of which
can show so per cent or more in
crease.
Dane county had four assemblymen
in the 10 years beginning in 1891 at a
time when Marathon and st. Croix
were the only counties north of Eau
Claire with two districts. In 1900 the
census gave Douglas county enough
to entitle it TO two assemblymen, and
Dane county lost one. This ratio was
maintained in 1911. The Dane coun-
ty population was, respectively, 59,-
578, SO, 435 and II, 435. Madison's pop
ulation was 1926, 1880 and 1881;
the latest census is expected to place
the city over 10000. Whether Dane
county will come out of the re-appor-
tionment with more or fewer assem-
blymen is problem that remains for
the detailed figures of the census
coupled with the judgment of the leg
islators to solve.

OWEN APPROVES
Amendment TO
CONSTITUTION
JUSTICE OF SUPREME COURT EN-

Gle VII RELATING TO
CIRCUIT COURTS.
PEOPLE TO VOTE ON APRIL 6
Two Successive Legislatures Approve
of Plan by Practically Unanimous
Votes. - Will Speed Up JUS

Madison, Wis Justice w. G. Owen
of the Wisconsin Supreme Court has
issued statement approving the
amendment to Article VII of the State
constitution relating to circuit courts
which is to be voted upon by the peo-
pie of the state at the spring election,
April 9Th.
"As one who takes pride in the Ju-
dicial system of Wisconsin, and be-
lieves that it should at all times be
adequate for the prompt administers
ton of Justice" said Judge Owen, 81
sincerely hope that the proposed
amendment will meet with the ap-
prevail of the peoples Both houses of
the legislature of 1917 and of the 1egis-
lature of 1919 by practically unani-
nous vote agreed that the constitution
should be amended. This is all that
the legislature can do. The amend
ment must now be approved by the
voters at the spring election to be-
come effective.
zone of the most important fl1nc.
lions Of government lis to provide am
pie opportunity for speedy justice =
continued Judge Owen, who was attor-
ney general of Wisconsin before he
was elected Justice of the Supreme
Court, and is thoroughly familiar with
the courts of Wisconsin.
Since the constitution was adopted
in 1848 the population of the state has
increased from 100000 to over 3,000,-
900 people. Large cities have grown
up. The population Of Milwaukee
county alone is greater than that of
the whole state when the constitution
was adopted The growth of the state
has made necessary many changes In
the constitution. With increasing
population the work 0f the courts ia
constantly growing" said Judge
Owen But so far as the state at large
is concerned no change has been made
in the provisions of the constitution
relating to circuit courts since the
days when there were but five circuit
judges In the state, who were judges
of the supreme court as well as of the
circuit courts of Wisconsin.
The last two sessions of the legisla-
ture have determined that the public
welfare demaids that the constitution,
framed in 1848, so far as it relates to
circuit courts, should be changed to
meet the new conditions that have
come about in the last seventy years.
Under the constitution as it now
stands legislature has no power to
do anything to care for this constantly
increasing number of circuit court
cases, except to create new circuits.
Each time a new circuit is created
the taxpayers of the state must con-
tinue to pay the expenses of sucn new
circuit for all time, because the con-
stitution as it now stands gives the
legislature no power to decrease the
number OF circuits; it only gives the
power to increase the number. If the
people approve this amendment, the
legislature will have the power to
adopt such means as will meet the
needs Of the state in the way that will
be the least expensive to the taxpay.

TOWN MAY GET GUN
Senator Lenroot Has Secured
Howitzer for Town if 1t
Will Be Accepted.

Recent newspaper announcements
that many towns in Wisconsin were
receiving government cannon for or
namental purposes reminded us that
in December, 1918, we made requests
to Sena tor Lenroot and Congressman
Nelson for one of the captured Ger
man cannon for Eagle River. A bill
was introduced asking that one be
allotted to Eagle River, but unfortu-
nately the demand exceeded the sup
ply. Last week we again wrote
Messrs. Lenroot and Nelson and on
the same day Chairman F. w Carter
received a letter from Congressman
Nelson stating that there was finch
mortar weighing about 1900 pounds
available at Watervliet, N. Y. After
receiving the letter from the Review
Mr.. Nelson made similar reply.
Senator Lenroot, in answer to the
inquiry, writes as follows:

reference to your recent communities
tion regarding a cannon for Eagle
River, / enclose for your information

further service in any way I shall be
glad to hear from you.

General reads as follows:

VALLEY ClTYL0SE
TO FARGO ATHLETICS

One Of the best ball games seen
here in some time rewarded fans
who assembled at Athletic Park last
Sunday. A.,
Valley City and the fast Fargo Ath-
letics were the opposing teams. Jen-
eon was on the mound for the Ath-
letics and Johnson, the hero Of last
Sundays game, pitched for the locals.
While the score would indicate the
local team was somewhat outclassed,
vet glance at the official score proves
otherwise. While Jensen struck out
only four men, johnson struck out
12. Only one pass was given by each
pitcher and johnson allowed three
hits and Johnson five. Good clean
fielding and fast base running helped
ed the interest of the game, while a
few Cones brought forth groans OF
dispair.
The local team shows improvement
every appearance and by the 25th the
opening date, should be in good form
and give a good account OF themselves
against Cooperstown.
