The republican candidate for rev
election to the legislature from this
district has served one term as re-
preventative with credit to himself
and to the district.
He labored increasingly during the
session for the enactment OF such
laws as he believed were best for
the state and his district.
One of the measures with which he
was identified during the last session
and for which he labored increasingly,
was fair reapportionment bill which
would give the agricultural counties
of the state the representation to
which they are entitled. The bill was
opposed by the mining counties of
the state, for the reason that they
have lost greatly in population since
the present law was enacted, while
the eastern end of the state has ma
terially increased.
The result of reapportionment
based on present population would
necessarily allow many more sena
tors and representatives to the agTi-
cultural counties.
We have all read the fable OF the
dog who dropped his meat into the
water because he saw his shadow
and took II for another dog carrying
larger piece Of meat In his attempt
to secure the larger dinner he went
hungry.
Shall we be so foolish as to drop
the sissstance to reach for a shadow?

TROOPS TO CAMP TAYLOR
State Artillery Units Will Go to Ken
lucky for Two Weeks Training
This Summer-To Practice
Shell Firing.

Madison, March 31.-Some time in
July, August or early in September
troops from Milwaukee, Racine, Green
Bay, Amigo, Superior, La Crosse,
Grand Rapids, Merrill, Hartford and
any other cities where artillery units
are formed in the Wisconsin National
Guard will go to Camp Taylor, KY,
the largest artillery camp in the coun-
try, for two weeks training. 1t is not
known as yet whether both the heavy
and light artillery will go at the same
time, but General Holway is of the
opinion that they will. Motorized
guns for the heavy artillery and horses
and guns for the light artillery will be
found waiting for the Badger troops
on their arrival at the Louisville reser-
walton, which consists of 2,446 acres.
General HOlway declares that part Of
the practice there will consist of shell
firing and by the time the organiza-
tons entrain for the home station they
will have had much more actual prac-
tice in that line than did many of the
Wisconsin batteries when they took
the transports for overseas service.

Muster of Guardsmen.

Milwaukee, March 31-The old pre-
war days when the First Wisconsin
cavalry was recruited to war strength
under Col Carl Penner was viivdly
brought to mind by the semi-annual
muster of the National Guard of Wis
consin at their quarters on Oakland
avenue and Atwater road. At compile
ton of the muster all the troops had
their full quota of 70 men. The ma
chine gun troops, whose enrolment
has reached the 1O5 mark, will drill
every Monday night at the Oakland
avenue armory. 1t is expected they
will be mustered into service on April
10. The war department has resignat-
ed a new pack for horses, which will
do away with the "Old pack mule
Federal pay for attending drill starts
from the date of muster. The state
has taken over al 1.-The property, says
Mai. James Quill, and will build five
new fireproof stables to take care of
the 90 horses that are expected within
the next two weeks.

Would Shun Publicity.

La Crosse, March 31.-Because Mrs.
JULIA Cordell, educational director for
a Milwaukee department store, came
to La Crosse in an effort quietly to OBJ
tain a divorce and avoid publicity in
her home city, Judge E. G. Higbee in
circuit court took the case under adj
visement. 81 can understand Mrs.
COrdells desire to avoid publicity in
Milwaukee," said the court, ''but the
court should not assist parties in
avoiding publicity" Mrs. Cordell al
legged that her husband, Edwin Cordell,
had posed as a single man and associ-
ated with other women in Milwaukee.

Thousands Are Made Homeless.


Thousands of persons were made
homeless by destruction of dwellings
throughout six states and outside re-
lief was necessary for a number OF
places.
The twisters which swept through
Michigan and Ohio and Indiana appar-
emily were distinct from the Illinois
storm. In each instance, however, 1T
was the same tale-wrecked houses,
prostration of wire communication and
many killed.
A dozen or more Michigan cities
were cut off from the rest of the world
and it was reported they were in the
path of the twister which swept north
eastward across the state from Lake
Michigan. The storm was said to have
been particularly severe in the vicinl-
ties of Kalamazoo, Battle Greek, Lans-
ing, Bay City and Saginaw.
In Ohio and Indiana, however, the
tornados' fury apparently was wreaked
on rural districts. None of the large
cities was struck, according to reports.
Sweeping over the open country and
semi-isolated districts, it was believed
a number of persons had been killed
and much property damaged.

Guilty of Larceny of Heifer.

Racine, March 31.-Elam Beardsley
missed three colts and heifer recent
ly. He found the colts. but the heifer
never came back. A short time later
he saw a pelt on sale which he recog-
nized as that of the missing heifer. He
learned that it had been procured from
Alvin Heimbauch, a neighboring farm
er near Waterford. A jury in the
Racine municipal court found Helm
bauch guilty of larceny of the heifer,
which was valued at $75.

Calls Americans IIIiterate.

Milwaukee, March 31.-The United
States is a nation of sixth graders, ac-
cOrding to Prof. G. r. Rounds, head
of the English department of Milwau
kee State normal and formerly teacher
of English with the A. E. f. in France
during the war. Though the greatest
country in the world, the United
States is still the most ignorant of all
great powers, says Professor Rounds.
Statistics gained through careful in
veStigatiOn have revealed that the av
erage extent of intelligence and educa-
ton among American adults is on a
par with that of normal sixth grade
child. ''In army tests it was found
that 100000 of the 100000 men in
service were totally illiterate and that
another 100000 were of such limited
literacy that they practically never
wrote or read anything" said Profess
sOr Rounds. "The belief that our
large foreign population is responsible
for the large percentage of illiteracy
which is quite prevalent is without
foundation. 1t is our own population,
consisting of the negro, the mountain
whites of the South and a sprinkling
of those IN certain rural districts who
bring up the average. 1t is estimated
that 100000 of the adults of the Uni
ted States are illiterate. This astound-
ing illiteracy is not only a hindrance
to our progress and development as a
nation, but also disastrous to the char
acter and ability of the individual"

LOSS IN SOUTH is HEAVY
Latest Figures Show That More Than
176 Persons Perished in the Freak
ish Storm That Swept Over
the Country.

Chicago, March 29.-One hundred
and seventy-fve are known to have
lost their lives in tornadoes which

believed the list will include more
than 1900 some but. slightly injured
and many in hospitals and private
homes battling against death as a re-
suit Of being crushed by falling tim
bers or buried beneath crumpled walls.
Storms Freakish.
The storms, which conferred their
fury about Chicago and its suburbs
and in eastern Alabama and Georgia,
were freakish in nature, cutting wide
swaths in this and that section, then
leaping high above the earth and leav-
ing other localities untouched.
In the middle Western states alone
reports indicate 100 persons lost their
lives Illinois was a heavy sufferer
with 80 dead. Ohio reports 80 fatali-
ties and Indiana 81. Michigan, Wis
consin and Missouri all added their
scores to the grim toll.
Georgia and eastern Alabama report
20 killed and hundreds injured.
In some of the sections struck by
the storm business is at a standSt1ll.

Local Legion Post
Favors Federal Bonus

At a meeting of the local post Of
the American Legion Tuesday eve
ming Post Commander Alfred J.
Clynch presented to the members of
the, post, the plan Of bonus which
seems to MEET with the greatest favor
among former service men. Members
of the local post were asked to ex-
press their preference in regard to the
plan which they would prefer. The
plan as presented would give the
former service man his option of one
of four plans: W.
1. The government would lend
money at a Low rate Of interest to buy
farming lands. !.
2: Same as. number / except to
build a home.
/. 8. Federal vocational work. Money
lent to enable a former service man
to further; hts education and thereby
increase his fund of knowledge.
4. A cash bonus.
The first three are aimed at maxi
ms. tho former service men better
citizens. Numbers 1 and 2 are s,in-
tended to make him a property holder.
He would be allowed the amount in
interest under the irst three that
would/be payable to him in cash un-
der option four.

former service men in the city ex-
press their preference in regard to the
plan as possible so th\s anyone who
