BUTTER
DISTRICTS

Madison, Wis.-The first step has
been taken towards forming a district
organization by the creamery owners
and buttermakers Of Sauk, Juneau and
Vernon counties. A meeting was call
ed at La Vale on May 9Th by the Di-
vision of Markets at which Mrs. L.
iMattson gave a very fine talk on the
advisability of creameries uniting in
to districts and the benefits that can
be derived from the work of a field
man. Mr.. W. P. Jones spoke on the
saving which can be effected by con-
centrating local shipments and ship
ping in carload lots. At the close of
the meeting a committee was appoint
ed consisting of representative from
ali the different districts who will have
charge of the organization work. Be
fore the close Of the season it is ex-
pected that all districts manufactur
ing butter in Wisconsin will be organic
ed and will employ field men. We are
positive that when this is done that
the standard of butter in Wisconsin
will be second to none.

CLEANING
PINE GROVE

F. J. Wood, has fortyeight lots of
land all in a body between 18th and
10Th streets east and west and Wash
ington avenue and apricot street north
and south, with a beautiful growth of
white pine and a few Norway trees,
known as the F. J. Wood grove. His
brother Geo. n. Wood and crew Of
workmen are busy this week cleaning
it up Of brush, dead limbs and remov-
ing all dead and defective underground
They are also setting out a young
growth of trees on all four sides of
this property. These are set II feet
apart and most of them are white pine
and some are Norways. We are in
formed by Mr. Geo. n. Wood that the
children and grown people are IN the
habit of going there and helping them
selves to the young trees for decora-
tion purposes, and destroying others
for deviltry. This should be stopped
and will be, or else some one will pay
the penalty. Signs will be put up Civ
ing notice that trespa assing upon this
property, destruction of this property
by mutilation of trees will be punish
ed in compliance with the law This
is beautiful grove and the people are
welcome to use it for small picnic par
ties. Vandalism is prohibited.

Madison, Wisconsin-The Wiscon-
sin department of agriculture this
week issues another warning to the
farmers of the state concerning hog
cholera. The veterinary division of
the department in charge of the fight
against this disease was called few
days ago to Troy Center in Kalworth
county where there was a serious out
break of hog cholera with a heavy loss
to the herds infected The veterinar-
ians found that the outbreak followed
close upon the purchase of a lot of
young feeder pigs from northern pig
markets. These pigs were shipped into
Walworth and adjoining counties, and
they were placed with other pigs with
out having been kept in quarantine
for a period of two weeks as they
should have been. DR.. Purcell in
charge of the Department. work a.
mong swine says this indiscriminate
of pigs, and especially
without having them vaccinated or
kept in quarantine for the required
period is likely to prove costly to any
farmer that indulges in it.

"Detested sport, that owes it's pleas
ures to another's pain" ."-Cowper. .
Recently the press blazed forth the
announcement that a cock-fght had
token place in this state at which many
,om within and without the state were
present. While no verifcation of the
report has been possible, yet the nota
ton serves to remind us again of the
exceeding grossness of this so-called
sport"
1t is hardly conceivable that men
grown up in a civilized, Christian coun
try can find enjoyment in pitting one
fowl against another until one has de-
stroyed the others life, or until both
are torn and bleeding. Yet this is the
truth and about the cock-fght, an5
men engaged in its promotion show
plainly that they have not yet riser
much higher than the beast
The day was when there were dog
fights and when, for pleasure and pro-
fit, one dumb brute was melted and
urged on to destroy the other. Then
in places, there was the bull-fght.
which is still seen in Mexico, and in
countries whose civilization, we claim,
is inferior to ours. And so, all down
the years, there have been gross forms
Of cruelty to animals for the enter
tainment of the baser types of men
and for the financial gain they derived
in betting upon the victor.
Humane sentiment will fight to the
end the gambling upon the lives and
welfare of dumb animals. The immor-
ality of this practice is enhanced by
its inhumanity. It will not be tolerat-
ed in Wisconsin.
Further, be it known in this state
that the law forbids cock-fghting or
similarly pitting any animal against
another for sport" Where violations
are known, this law will be enforced
without leniency. The public is urged
to assist by reporting violations.
Let US all unite, that we may save
our fair state from the stain of such
disgrace, and that our boasted civili
zation and our high place in the com
pany of those who have honor and who
love the right may not be debauched
by the ignoble spirit of the base.

JOHN BELL SR.
PASSES ON

AS time passes we are called upon
to chronicle the passing on of so MANY
old time and highly respected citizens.
that 1t makes us stop and think and
mediate upon the fact that time is
l.slipping away and we are getting old.
John Bell, Sr., was familiar and well
known figure about cur streets for
years and now he has gone. We re-
member well our last visit with him
| only few weeks ago upon the wagon
bridge. We spoke of the coming "end
of life" and what the change meant
and we were surprised to get his ans
wer. He was ready, his days were
rapidly coming to an end, yet he was
| cheerful in spite OF the pains he was
Iconstantly suffering" John Bell made
his home with Mrs. Geo. M. Hill, his
daughter and died Monday morning
May 8, 1921, at the ripe age of "a
years. He was born June 10th, 1887,
in Ogdensburg, New York.
When small boy he moved with his
parents from that city to jefferson
county in this state, where they set
tied on a farm near Waterloo. where
Mr.. Bell was brought up, received
his education in the Waterloo public
school.
On February 25th, 1866 he was
lnited in marriage to Mrs. Phoebe
Lascher, also of Waterloo, when they
settled on Mr.. Bells estate near the
eity limits at Waterloo. He served
as quartermaster for three years in
the Civil War. They continued their
Eresidence there until the latter part of
November in the year of 1881 when
they moved to Wood county and set
tied on a farm near Vesper.
Mr.. Bells farming experience
taught him the necessity for mar
<et day for farmers and it was
through his efforts that Market Day
both in this city and at Stevens Point
which have become days of great
d lportance, were established.
Mr.. Bell was always alive to the
Interests of the community in which
he resided and took an active part in
both political and civic affairs. He
was elected chairman of the town of
oigel for several successive years and
also served on the County Board for
line successive years. He was an en-
7husiastic democrat and an active
politician. He remained on his farm
IN Sigel until fifteen years ago, when
ne retired, and moved to this city
where he has resided ever since At
2rvisor of the seventh ward for four
successive terms.
He kept up his keen interests in
he city's welfare to the end Of his
life, although his failing health for
j5he past several years would not al
iow him to do the active work of
former years. He leaves to mourn
lis loss, two daughters, Mrs. r. A.
Mcdonald and Mrs. G. M. Hill, Sr.,
and one son, ]. c. Bell, Jr., all of this
ity, his wife having passed to the
Great Beyond December End, 1909.
Funeral services were held on We'd
nesday afternoon at the home of G.
M. Hill, Sr., 553 Eighth avenue south,
Rev. N. j. Breed, pastor of the Con
gregational church officiating. The re-
mains were laid to rest in Forest Hill
Cemetery.

Another crisis drew near in the
British coal strike last week. The
transport workers decided that no for
eign coal should be unIoaded II the
United Kingdom, promising aid in this
to the miners and taking up the mat
ter with the railway workers. The
entry of foreign coal for vital pur
poses should not be prevented. and
began concentrating soldiers and sail
ors in the areas where trouble might
be expected. Robert Williams, lead
er of the transport workers, said:
"The embargo will be maintained even
if disease results. The remedy is to
stop the importation of COAL"

TREES

The poem of Joyce Kilmer, killed in
action on the Ourcq, is worth re-read-
ing when the trees are in the full glory
of their spring dress:
| think that | shall never see
A poem lovely as tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
"A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make tree.

President Harding has fixed things
so the administration can to a certain
extent use its Judgment in appointing
poStmasters. He has issued an order
affecting about 13,G00 postoffices OF the
first, second and third classes, author
izing the selection of any one of the
first three applicants on the eligible
list as determined by open competitive
examinations. Under an order of
President Wilson the one at the head
of the list had to be appointed. Presi-
dent Harding said the new arrange
ment was made to permit business
training and experience to be consd-
cred, and so that the choice would not
be based merely on ''a cloistered.
scholastic examination which might re-
suit in a high grade in theory, but not
a guaranty Of efficiency in fact"

Publication of the Stacker lists has
been begun in various parts of the
country, but some newspapers already
have discontinued it because it was
found the lists as supplied by the war
department were wOefully faulty, In
Guiding the names of many men who
served their country patriotically in
the war. Such names, according to
ruling of the department, cannot
be removed from the lists without the
authorization of the department af-
ter the injured persons have proved
their cases at Washington.
AS for the most offensive of all the
slackers. G. G. Bergdoll, the war de-
partment intends to keep after him un-
remittingly until ii brings him back
from Germany and Furnishes him.
Such is the statement of General
March, chief of staff, to the house
committee Investigating the escape of
the draft dodger. The inquiry, which
has brought out many acrimonious ac-
cuSatiOnS seems to be narrowing down
so that @the blame for the escape of
Bergdoll will be placed on Clarence
Gibboney, one of the slackers at
torneys, since dead. and the two SER
geants from whose custody Bergdoll
got away.

BY q vote Of 63 to % the senate last
week passed the emergency tariff bill.
Only one Republican-Mose Of New
HampShire-sto fast with the oppo-
sition, and seven Democrats were
found with the majority The senate
and house conferees at once began
their efforts to reach agreement, the
only radical difference being over the
anti-dumping and currency revaluatiOn
sections, which were rewritten by the
senate committee, which also made
provision for continuing the war time
restrictions on imports of dyestuffs.
The house passed the army appro-
priation bill, but it refused to recede
from it's determination to make the
army small. The measure provides for
an army of only 10000 men, and an
amendment was adopted which author
ICES the secretary of war to discharge
enlisted men upon their applca ton
until that limit has been reached 1t
is likely there will be a prolonged con-
test with the senate over the size of
the army, and possibly a veto by the
President if the house wins.
