FAMED FOR ITS MARASCHInO
Dalmatian Town of Sebenico Really
Has Little Right to Other
Claims to Honors.

Manchester Guardian. The name is
said to be derived from a word that
means the fort from whence bandits

SlEGFRIED'S SWORD IN BERLIN
Weapon Had Long Been in German
Capital, Though the Hero Was
Really Belgian.

The theft OF the sword from the
statue of Siegfried in Berlin raises
the question. What has Berlin TO do
with Siegfred's sword or with Sleg-
fried himself? That hero was no
Prussian, but rather a Belgian-at
any rate, northumberland it was
Burgundian princess that he mar
ried In his day the Borussians were
all obscure tribe and scarcely heard of
In Burgundy and along the Rhine.
Moreover, the difference in char
acter makes ii hopelessly incongruous
for the Prussians Of today to exploit
Siegfried as one of their national he
roes. Hagen of Tronje would be more
iii, chosen at the moment when he
treacherously murders Siegfried. when
he steals Kriemhilde's fortune or when
he brutally Stays the infant Ortlieb
But Siegfried was honorable, Sieg
fried was brave. Slegfried was chival-
ric, Siegfried was not Hohenzolern.
TO exploit Siegfried and his Bal
mung as emblematic of Prussia. or in
deed Of the Germany of today, is
gross lmpertinence perhaps. 1t Is well
that the sword is gone. The statue
itself should follow 1t Into retirement
from place where 1t does not belong.

ner. There are a large number OF
unlicensed dogs in the state, chiefly
because some officials disagree with
the law. 1t is not for an official to
say whether the law is good or bad.
In a recent opinion nthe dog law,
the Attorney General said, "There is
but one course open to a public Off
,cial who is unwilling to perform an
official duty for the compensation
which the law affords, and that is to
resign his office. So long as he re-
mains in it he perform the duties
thereof"
"The dog law must be enforced as
it was conceived and written and al
ways without fear or favor. Insofar
as it lies within the power of this
department there will be no backward
step in enforcing the law and carry
ing out the mandate of the people"

ENFORCEMENT OF THE DOG
LAW BY LOCAL OFFICIALS

MADISON, Visit appears that
some local officials who are charg-
ed with the enforcement of the dog
license law utterly lack An under
standing knowledge of the law and
their position and duty toward its
enforcement" said o. P. Lehner OF
the state department of agriculture.
That the law is not tax measure
but a form of insurance on stock
and fowl, was explained in a pre-
vious articles. Since some officials
charged. with enforcement of the law
either lack knowledge fthe law
or are careless in the performance OF
their duty, it is necessary to touch
! upon these matters again.
.srhe legislature put the enforce
ment of this law under the supervi-
sion Of the state department of agri.
culture. but it charged local officials
directly with the duty Of its enforce.

ADD TO TUBERCULAR
FREE AREAS THIS YEAR

Six counties will be added to the
list Of tubercular free areas this year
according to DIR. O. H. Eliason, State
Veterinarian of the Wisconsin De-
partment Of Agriculture. Work is
now in progress in four counties,
namely: Oneida, Washburn, Ashland
and Douglas, and in future veterin-
arians will begin the testing of
Chippewa and Rusk Counties.
Wisconsin was the first State to
adopt the "Area Test Plan" and
Barron County was the first tuber-
cular free county in the United
States. Lincoln and Bayfield, coun-
ties have also been completed. AL
though other states have adopted the
Area Test Plan, Wisconsin is still in
the led both as a tubercular free
areas and number of accredited herds.
Both of these projects are being car
reid on with the cooperation of the
u. S. Dept. of Agriculture.
Petitions to the Department of
Agriculture for a countrywide test
are being signed in several other
northern counties. From the stand
point of the State it is desirable to
have this work contigt Gus with coun-
ties already completed or in progress
on account of trade along the county
lines. =
It is estimated that in two years
all cattle north Of line drawn from
Green Bay to st. Paul will have been
tested and all reactors disposed of.
Undoubtedly the southern part of the
State viii fall in line, and within a
few years it is hoped that. all of
Wisconsin will be free from bovine
tuberculosis.
Eradication of tuberculosis ins cat
tie is not only done for economic rea-
sons, but more for the relationship
existing between human and bovine
tuberculosis. Authorities agree
that $3.50 of tuberculosis in children
Is caused by the drinking of milk
from tIbercular cattle. This be-
ing fact, one ceases to wonder why
FARMERS from a dozen or more coun-
ties are petitioning foracounty-wide
test, and individual farmers by the
hundreds have sent in their sapplica-
lions for, having their herds tested
with end in view of accrediation.
Last year approximately a quarter
of q million cattle were tested, and it
is estimated that 100000 will be
ties ed this year.
