Takes over Bent CURLING JOB.

The Wisconsin railroad commission
has taken over the task of admins
tering the rent curbing law. The rent
bureau, which administered the law
under the general supervision of the
commission has closed its Office in
Milwaukee. This action was caused
by the refusal of the lower house to
concur in the senate bin appropriating
an additional $4,000 for operation of
the bureau in Milwaukee. The law
applies only TO Milwaukee county.
This denial of additional funds to
carry on the work ends all chances
Of carrying on operations of the act,
Walter Bender, rent arbiter, said
when appraised of the assembly action.
The senate unanimously passed the
bill allowing the extra money. The
lower house vote was 40 to 81. The
law remains in effect. The argument
was advanced by the bills opponents
that high Office rent had eaten up the
appropriation provided and that the
bureau had been too costly for the
work it accomplished. It was stated
on the floor Of the assembly that the
cost per case had been practically SIS,
which was held exorbitant.

Signs of Spring in Vermont
(By Daniel l.. Cady.)

kpy babiSi i<' SpuyI
Most signs of Spring are apt to slump
And wreck the, fcndest plan,
But one there was when was young,
Or not as old as Ann"
Which never failed us once; to-wit,
The Opedildock Man.
All other sims and things might fell,
The fish might jump the pan;
Hank White might say he'd sung
enough
And quit the minstrel clan,
But Spring it was the day we spied
The Opedildock Man.
His old North Hartland horse and cart
With joy we used to scan,
For then we knew that we were free
From Winters blight and ban:
THE Liberator," so I called
The Opedildcck Man.
Twas great to watch EN- heave in sight
His cart and him and Fan;
The outfit looked about as good
As Barnum's caravan
The man who nailed the bright days
down.,
The Opedildock Man.
His horse had funny legs behind,
Like cushions stuffed with bran;,
His cart, it had more kinds of doors
Than children's eyes could stan:
His coat, it had Shiloh sleeve
Brave Opedildock Man.
We'd hand him cut some pie and cats
And then exchange began;
We bought vanilla, liniment,
And hartshorn and japan;
We sorter felt we owed it to
The Opedildock Man.
They rested him in Taftsville once
Because black and tan
Contaner meath his lift-up seat
With Oh-be-joyful ran;
The Army Boys, they paid his fine
Good Opedildock Man.
