 London, Jan. 23.-Holland's reply to the entente demand for the extra dition of Emperor William declares that she cannot be bound by the peace treaty, to which she is not a party, it is learned here. Neither the Dutch constitution nor traaition permit of her acceding to the demand of the al- lied powers, the note sets forth.
 The nations honor, the reply de- Iclares, does not permit the betrayal of the confidence of those who en- trusted themselves to Holland and her free institutions.
 Paris, Jan. 23.-The reply of the Dutch government to the note of the supreme council demanding the txtra- dition of the former German emperof was received in Paris today and de- ciphered at the Dutch legation. In advance of the revelations of the contents it was believed the Nether- lands had refused to comply with the allied demands, as it was thought in diplomatic quarters that in case the authorities at The Hague were seri- ously considering delivering over the former German ruler they would have required further time to weigh all the points involved.

HEALTH BULLETIN
Are drafts harmful to healthY

Are drafts harmful to health2
Drafts, by chilling the body and
thus lowering the vitality, may cause
person to be in condition to catch
coldo or take some other disease
which he might otherwise have had
the resistance to fight off. From the
draft itself, providing the germs Of
disease are absent, it is extremely un-
likely that anyone will catch anything
more than stiff neck. However, as
germs are likely to be present, tho
unknown, at almost any moment it is
advisable to avoid any drafts which
cause discomfort.
Is tuberculosis inherited?
No. Authorities now agree that
tuberculosis is not inherited. The
fact that children of tubercuIous
parents frequently also have tubercu-
losis is due to the susceptibility of
children to this disease. It is caught
from the parent; not inherited. Ere
quently, the symptoms of active tu-
berculosis do not become evident
until years after the infection has ap-
parently occurred. Hence, a person
who has been infected by a tubercu-
lar parent in childhood may not show
signs of the disease until years later
in adult life, even after long separa-
tion from the parent from whom the
disease was contracted.

Clean Up and Paint Up.

Filth, dirt and rubbish invite fires
and disease.
Waste paper, packing materials,
oily waste and rags, discarded cloth

long winter. Now is the time to rid
your property Of all such fire hazards.
Streets, alleys, yards, area-ways, base

and ut-buildings all need attention.
Residents sometimes lose civic pride
but a stranger will always Judge a
town and it's citizens by what he sees.
Rubbish breeds fires, it spreads fires
and increases the fire damage, it makes
fire fighting dangerous, sometimes i'm

ABOUT The DOG TAXES
New Law That Goes Into Ef-
feet July 1st Aimed at
Stray CANNES.

The duty of administering the new
dog law passed by the legislature Of
1919 is placed upon the state depart
ment of agriculture. There has been
criticism of the law because it per-
mits OF the disposal of unclaimed
dogs. Mr.. Norgord, commissioner Of
agriculture holds that this feature Of
the law is very humane. ut provides
in substance" he says, ''that every
dog shall have an owner and home.
1t is well known that most of the
trouble from dogs comes from the
vagrant homeless ones. The new law
requires that every dog in the state
must have license tag before July l,
1920. The license costs So for male
dogs and SIS for female dogs. Any dog
found without license tag after
July lst, will be seized by any peace
officer and if not reclaimed within d
reasonable time will be disposed Of 10
soma humane manner. Assessors are
to list every dog in their district and
will receive 20 cents for. easl one
listed. Officers will receive 81 for
every tagless dog seized. TIE chief
purpose of the law is to rid the state
Of the vagrant, homeless dogs which
bring such havoc to sheep. The new
law was passed at the solicitation of
the sheep raisers, who felt that their
focks were entitled to proper protec-
tion.'

Underpaid Legislators

Returns from all but one county of
Wisconsin show that the pro-
posed amendment permitting an in
crease of salaries for members of the
legislature has failed by about 10000
votes. This is the second time that
the voters have refused to give their
legislators more than the pittance of
$500 they now receive.
Among those who voted down this
amendment are numbered farmers
who want fair prices for their prod
ucts, business men who expect to
make a good return on their invested
capital and Workingmen who justly
demand a sufficient wage TO make
them independent. What were all of
these classes of voters thinking about
when they denied to their representa-
tives an increase of what none would
call living wage?
Service in the legislature is a per-
sonal financial sacrifice. The legisla-

Camp Fire Girl to become robust and
strong, so in order to do this we must
have plenty of outdoor exercise. Do
not be surprised to see fifteen or
twenty girls walking miles away from
home, covered with dust and beads of
perspiration on their foreheads. Girls
from the ages of twelve to twenty are
invited to join and learn to be Of SER
vice to their home and town.
The Junior Prom, the big social
event of the school year, will be given
tonight at the opera house. The jun
Tors have been busy decorating and
making preparatory arrangements this

big success. Invitations have been
sent all over the county and many out
siders are expected to attend If the
weather permits. The grand march
led by the Juniors and Seniors will
begin at nine-thirty p. M. Hazel M.

TOWN WILL VOTE
ON BONDS MAY II.
Additions and improvements
Needed at Power Plant
Call for Action by
the Electors.

May 18th is the date set for spec
ial town meeting to vote on the ques-
ton of a bond issue OF $4,000 for
necessary repairs and requirements at
the municipality owned power plant
on the Wisconsin River and the sub
station in town. The improvements
include a new water wheel, a new
generator and the necessary equip
Inent that goes with it to make the
power available.
The bond issue is the only remedy
for an improvement of present condi-
tions The demand for power is such
that the original equipment of the
plant is inadequate. 1t is taxed to
capacity now and with an increasing
demand for more and better service
it cannot be supplied without the i'm
provements planned for in the notice
of the special election published else
where in this issue.
The plant has been in continuous
service since it was built several years
ago. At that time it amply cared for
the needs of the town in power and
lights but the demand for service has
reached point where the present
plant is unable to meet it and in
creased facilities must be installed to
take care of the towns needs. In case
of emergency, breakdown or disabling
of either the generator or water
wheel the town would be seriously af-
fected by the lackof lights, water and
power, entailing loss to every citi-
zen much greater than the burden of
the bond issue will be. Sooner or lat
er that time has to come, and it is a
wise move to forestall it by adding
additional equipment to supply the
demand without overlooking the pow
er producing machinery. The bonds
will be spread over term of seven
teen years, making but small addi-
tion to the taxes of the individual
each year, and the actual burden will
undoubtedly be less than expected be-
cause new business will in all proba-
bility take care of the payments as
they become due.
The Light and Water Commission
confidently expects greater revenue
from the plant in the next seventeen
years, judging from the present pros
poets now before Eagle River, and
urges the bond issue as a business
policy for the best interes is of the
town. Is is a matter of direct inter
est to every taxpayer, resolving itself
into the question of whether the
town shall go along under the present
inadequate method until the break
comes and then suffer the loss OF SER
vice until it can be remedied, which
may be many months, or of providing
for it in time as the bond issue will
do There should be no opposition.
1t is a wise business policy that should
commend itself to all thinking citi-
zens when the facts are known.

PURE SEED IN DEMAND
Wisconsin Has Built Up En-.
viabIe Record in Pure
Seed Business.

According to statement recently
given out by r. A. Moore, agronomist
of the state university at Madison,
and secretary of the State Experiment
Association, this state faces for the
first time in her history an inability
to supply the demand that is being
made upon her for pure bred seeds,
the supply being practically exhausted
with the exception of Golden Glow
corn.
According to Mr.. Moore, the demand
from other states this year has far ex-
ceeded the supply-in fact Wisconsin
could have sold to other states three
times the amount of pure-bred seeds
she has, had she had them.
Wisconsin has achieved an enviable
record as a pure seed producing state
and it has become regular thing for
farmers of other states to look to the
Badger state for their supply of seeds
of all kinds.
Nature has been kind especially to
the northern part of this state in fJting
her with soil and climate that
seems to produce perfect grains and
root crops to an extent notfound else
where. Other states may produce
more bushels of corn and kindred
grain crops, but when their seed is
put to the test Of reproducing itself
it never equals the seeds raised in
the northern part of this state.
Now that the country at large has
conceded this to be fact and has
decided to come to Wisconsin for
their seed supplies, it makes a bright
outlook for the Wisconsin farmer, if
the aforesaid farmer is smart enough
to take advantages of his opportunity
and raise the kind of grain and pota-
toes that the buyers from other states
call r-pedigreed~ seeds.
Another reason that Wisconsin has
gone ahead of other states in the
pure bred seed business is. the fact
that so many of her counties have
been progressive enough to secure
good county agents who are in love
with their profession and proud of
their state. These men have talked
and worked for the pedigreed seeds
until their enthusiasm has been taken
up by the farmers themselves, to their
great financial advantage,
