school conducted by County Agr.
Agents V. E. Brubaker and HI. M.
Wright and E. j. Delwiche, who is

in Northern Wisconsin, at Ashland
Junction at the State Experimental

Various practical subjects were dis
cussed during the meetings. There
was an attendance of sixty farmers
each day.
The farmers are very interested in
holding annually four or six weeks
course at the State Farm every year
and are handing in petition to the
College of Agriculture asking for
same. This would afford an oppor-
tunity for lot of our young men
to attend who are unable to go to
Madison. No. doubt such arrange
ments can be made by the University.

LOCAL JURY TO

CENSOR PICTURES
MADISON, Wis, March 11.--A 10
cal jury in each locality will be per-
mitted to pass upon the decency of
moving pictures if bill offered by
Senator Conant and considered oy the
state affairs committee is enacted in
to law. Ralph W. Jackman, repre-
senting moving pictures interests said
he was in favor of the bill and that
if any companies issued lewd or in
decent pictures in the state there
should be a way to prosecute.
81 believe that this bill will do
more good than a censorship bill, =
said Rev. Todd, of the Lords Day Al
lance, Milwaukee. Rev. Todd ap-
peared before the state affairs COM
mittee in favor of the measure. He
stated that the moving picture bus
mess was a great educational med
ium but that it should be elevated
and that he believed that the .Conant
bill would aid in accomplishing that
purpose. The jury committee of the
senate will report favorably on a
bill to increase the compensation of
the circuit court reporter of Dane
County. 1t was pointed out that this
reporter handles all of the state
cases and receives no extra compen-
saiotn for this work.Judge E. Ray
Stevens and Justice w. C. Owen ap-
peared before the committee to urge

AMENDMENTS TO QUARANTINE
REGULATIONS AND DISIN-
FICTION REQUIREMENTS


At the last meeting of the State
Board of Health the smallpox rule
was amended so as to provide for
the quarantine of the patient until
after all crusts or scales have fallen
off and the disinfection of the pa
tient and premises. For exposed
persons quarantine for IA days from
date of last exposure, unless all ex-
posed persons submit to immediate
vaccination. If exposed persons are
vaccinated at once, they can live at
the home and go about their work as
usual, provided they obtain written
permit to do so from the local health
officer. Immediate vaccination or
quarantine is required under this
rule even though the exposed person
has previously been successfully vac
cinated or had smallpox.
Adopted by the State Board of
Health on January 26, 1921.
Published in the Official State
Paper on February 5, 1921.
These rules have the force of law.
Because of the prevalence of small
pox in the. city of Washburn the
Local Board of Health suggests that
all persons who to their knowledge
have been exposed, to this disease,
be vaccinated at once.
