FAIR WEATHER VERSE

For over so years of service the United
States weather bureau has scoffed at weather
signs" It's work, of course, is conducted on
scientific basis, and it takes no stock in the
'goosebone prophet" school.
But some hundreds of years before there was
a weather bureau there were weather fore
casters" and some of them put their signs in
rudely constructed verse. And great many
people, while perhaps they much prefer the
demonstrations of the weathe rbureau, pay a
little bit of sneaking attention to these old
times couplets.
Along about Candlemas Day, Feb: 2, these
will recall
eff Candlemas is fair and clear, therel be
two winters in the year"
And there are many other lines calculated to
give line on the weather if the pun is allowed
Here are some of them:
"As the days lengthen so the cold strength
ens;"
"a rainbow in the morning is the shepherds
warning but rainbow at night is the shep-
herds delight"
''When the winds in the east it is good for
neither man nor beast; when the winds in the
south it's in the rains mouth"
''No weather is i'll if the wind be still;'
"A snow year, a rich year."
Winters thunder is summers wonder"
''The evening red, the morning gray, are GER
tain signs of fair day."
'In the waning of the moon, cloudy morn,
fair afternoon"
And do not forget that other old timer:
If the grounding sees his shadow on Feb 2,
six weeks more of cold weather!

AFFECTS SALES HERE
Decision Affects Sale of Stock
in American Cooperative So

In an opinion rendered late Saturday
to the Wisconsin railroad commission,
Attorney General William ]. Morgan
upholds the action of District Attorney
Thorwald M Beck Of Racine county in
causing the arrest Of eight statesmen
engaged in selling stock in that city
in the Cooperative Society of America
because of violation of a state law
which provides that it is unlawful for
any person to sell stock of a corpora
ton until a permit has been obtained

sion.
The decision is of interest here since
a branch of the society was recently
organized in Kenosha and statesmen
have been busy completing the organ
ization in similar way to that which
was used in Racine. The local Offices
of the company are in the Dale block.
The company asserts that they have
fought the case out in Illinois and
won and it is possible that test case
will be tried in this state. There are
also rumors rumors that a company
will be formed to meet the regulations
of the state law.

KANSAS PLAN
MAY COME HERE
Board Asked to Give Sane
to New Plan for Elec-
tons in State.
OFFER EARLY RESULT
Plan Would Make Possible the
Counting of Ballots as
They Were Cast.

Changes in the election laws to make
possible the securing of people to
serve as the election officials in cities
and counties will be proposed to the
county board of Kenosha county at its
meeting on next Saturday. The board
will be asked to adopt a recommended
ton to the state legislature asking en-
tire revision of the laws governing the
holding of elections in the state.
County Clerk Charles L. Holderness
of this county was one of the members
of committee, representing county
clerks of the state, which met with
the secretary of state in Madison last
Saturday and discussed changes in the
law with a view of taking away some
of the sitting" of sitting on election
boards. 1t was declared that in many
of thet counties of the state the cost
of the election was exceedingly high
on account of the fact that the clerks
had to be paid for two days work.
Kansas Plan Is Suggested.
"The members of the committee at
the conference showed a great interest
in the Kansas plan for holding cleo
tions," declared Mr.. Holderness today.
"In Kansas the count of the ballot is
started just as soon as fifty ballots
have been cast and it is continued
throughout election day. Extra people
are provided to have charge of the
counting of the ballots and the long
all night work of counting is done
away with. The plan is declared to
work admirably and it is said that it
has largely eliminated the objections
to work on election boards. The COM
mittee which will propose this legisla-
tion is anxious for suggestions from
the people of the state. am laying
the matter before the county board,
not so much for official action as for
individual opinions as to how the mat
ter can best be worked out"
Women Are New Factor.
The coming of women to the cleo
torate is a new factor in connection
with the appointment of election
boards. It is expected that many wom-
en- will be named on election boards
in all Wisconsin counties. With the
women, it is not thought that the all
night job Of counting ballots will
prove very agreeable. In Kansas the
result of elections are usually an
nounced within two hours after the
polls are closed. It is declared that
the system of counting in use makes
the returns almost as quick as in the
states where the voting machines are
used. County Clerk Holderness is an
ardent supporter of the plan for SIM
plifed elections.

Wisconsin under federal law, known
as the Common Law Trust" which
permitted the sale of stock in any
state, despite any laws which COM
monwealth might have regulating such
stock sales.
Under the Wisconsin laws, corpora
tions, local or foreign, must, before
offering stock for sale, submit COM
plete statements to the railroad COM
mission showing the purpose of such
sales together with assets and liabili-
ties and concise statement of the
proposed business.
Held Stock Sales Campaign.
For several months the Cooperative
Society of America has carried on a
stock selling campaign in Wisconsin
and "a agents were engaged in the
work. 1t has been claimed that stock
amounting to 100000 has been dis
posed of in Racine. Managers of the
Racine stock sale drive, when asked
as to whether they had obtained per-
nit for the sale of stock, declared that
they had not and that such permit was
not necessary as the stock was being
sold under a Common Law Trust.
Threats of arrest were made but were
ignored.
Beck Issues Warrants.
When Thorwald M. Beck took office
as district. attorney on January 3rd, he
made an investigation of the stock
selling campaign and conferred with
state officials, with the result that
warrants were issued for the arrest of
three managers and five stock sales
men on charges of violating the "Blue
Sky Law"
The men arrested were John Baron,
Marvin Marston and Frank. Ayers,
managers, and Walter Voss, K. Cash
man, Charles Crane, August Kerber
and Peter Knudson, statesmen. The
first three were released on bonds of
$4,000 each and the five statesmen on
bonds of $500 each.
The preliminary examinations of the
eight defendants were to have been
held Friday morning, but continu-
ance was granted to February 18th,
because the railroad commission had
asked the attorney-gener for an opin-
ion as to whether or not the law was
being violated.
Attorney Generals Opinion.
In concluding his opinion rendered
the attorney general said:
II am of the opinion that under sec
ton 1880 of the statutes, it is I'M
lawful for the Cooperative Society of

America, or any Of it's agents, to take
subscriptions upon any form submit
ted until it shall first have secured a
permit from the railroad commission"
Upon the granting of the motion for
a continuance, attorneys for the soci-
ETY. agreed that no more stock would
be offered for sale, until after the pre-
liminary examinations or until the
legality of the matter had been deter
mined. A separate organization known
as the Wisconsin Rochdale company,
is being perfected under the laws of
Wisconsin. It is proposed to organize
several separate companies, each with
capital stock of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of opening stores in Kenosha, Ra-
cine, and other cities for the sale of
groceries.
