OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES!
: NEWS OF He :
J BADGER STATE !


Madison-This year is said to be
the hardest in years for student to
work his way through the University
of Wisconsin, and this situation is ap-
parently keeping many out of school.
This is due to the general industrial
depression throughout the country, &C
cording to officials in charge of stu
dents employment. During recent
years it has been comparatively easy
for students, both men and women,
to obtain part time work to help pay
expenses, but the plentitude of jobs is
gone, temporarily, at least. The Uni
versity Y. Nj. C. A., which has always
acted as go-between to help employer
and student meet, has been forced to
turn away large numbers of young
men. In great percentage of these
cases, lack of work necessitates
leaving school.
Madison-Any community in the
state has a right to require license
for sale of drinks and ice cream con-
tanning no degree of alcohol, if au-
thority is found in the city charter
and if the licensing is reasonable and
passed for the protection of the health
of its citizens, j. E. Messerschmidt
assistant attorney general, told Henry
Johnson, state treasurer in an opin-
ion. The treasurer had wanted to
know whether cities were limited in
their licensing, to places selling So
called Notwithstanding drinks, or
those which have alcohol in some de-
gree less than one-half of one per
cent. State law requires the regu-
lation of such parlors.
Eau Claire-Salad served at pub
lie dinner in Eau Claire in August is
blamed by C. NJ, Baker, state sanitary
engineer. for several typhoid fever
cases which broke out in various sec
tons of the city at that time. That
the city water supply or milk supply
might have been the source was che
supposition for time, but tests and
analyses showed both free from germs.
Mr.. Baker had been working for a
week investigating the mystery and
found that all those taken ill had
eaten salad at the dinner. No deaths
have resulted.
Kenosha-Frank Lang, Kenosha man,
who several months ago was SEN
fenced to serve twenty years in the
state prison for the murder of Charles
Pacina, is not so much worried over
his appeal to the Supreme court,
which is to be heard soon in Madison,
as over the price of new set OF
teeth The prison physicians, accord
ing to letter received in Kenosha,
ordered his molars out and since there
is no appropriation to buy prisoners
new teeth, he has appealed to, friends
in Kenosha for funds.
Madison-Farmers and dairymen
of the state are warned by Prof. f. HI.
Harrington of the college of agricul-
ture, University of Wisconsin, against
the purchase of so-called Babcock test
substitute that is being sold for the
testing of milk. Agents for this test
ing spindle are charging from So to
So and Boosting the Endorsement of
experimental stations. Investigations
at the university have proven that this
Improvement" is inaccurate and a
fake.
Green Bay-More than 1900 stu
dents are enrolled in the Green Bay

dane figures of past seasons. Night
school students will have the choice
of 80 classes. Additional courses,
which had been planned by Principal
Stewart, have been passed up owing
to inability to secure additional
quarters for students.
Eau Claire-One of the first results
OF the reorganization of the Eau Claire
police department by Chief Chris
Laursen, Eau Claire's new chief, will

men, two of them plain clothes men.
The new chief believes more day po-
lice protection is needed.
Green Bay-One block of $4,000
worth of Brown County highway

in 1910. 1t is the plan of the finance
committee of the board of supervisors
