SUPREME COURT
To IGNORE PLEA

Lawyer Members Of Congress
Predict Request viii Be
Turned Down.
by A. o. HAYWARD,
Interna tional News Service.

The Supreme Court of the United
States will ignore all challenges by
a citizen to make known It's reasons
for decisions II may render or ac.
ton II may take.
This was the conviction today Of
lawyer members Of. Congress and
members of the bar of the Supreme
Court formed after years of obser.
vation OF the court and It's pro-
ceedings.
For this reason, the challenge
OF Robert A. Widenmann. of New
YORK, to the conscience" Of the
supreme Court to give reasons in
detail for rejecting a petition by
him to pass upon points raised
against the constitutionality Of the
prohibition amendment will go un-
answered, possibly nnnoticed ex-
cept by a curt dismissal of his &C
ton to force q reply.
Widenmann feels, be declares,
that his personal privileges have
been abridged and his constitutional
rights invaded by the prohibition
law.
THE people Of the United States"
he said in motion filed with the
court, have suddenly found them
selves confronted with pret cnsions
on the part of their public servants,
State and national, executive and
legislative, and judicial, alike to an
authority and control over tbeir
pc, sonsl md private habits which
IL admittedly unprecedented and
extraordinary"
THE basis Of these pretensions.
Widenmann continued, 'is a sup
posed law known as the eighteenth
amendment to the Constitution Of
the United States. Some Of the
peoples legislative servants who
voted for this amendment voted in
opposition TO the known wishes of
the people who elected them.

the improvement of the herd by hav-

SECRECY IN WIRELESS
TELEPHONY ACHIEVED

Secrecy in wireless receiving has at
last been achieved, according to local
experts. A new appliance, applicable
to both wireless telephone and tele-
graphy, has been invented by John
Hay Hammond, Jr., inventor.
BY this invention it will be possible,
according to Hammond, to eliminate
all listening in" messages being re-
ceived by only such stations as they
are intended for.
Up to this time any station tuned
to the wave length of the sending
station could listen in."
The United States government is
said to have watched demonstrations
OF the new invention and found it to
be practical.
DR.. F. Leon Chaffee, professor of
physics at Harvard, who has been
working with Hammond on the new
wireless appliances, said the system
is simple and based on the principle
Of producing characteristic waves to
which only specially equipped receiv-
ers are receptive.

QUERY AND ANSWER
lMuscoda Progressivel


S. w. Tavera.-I want to ask YOU
t. tell us through your very valuable
paper, just how to settle an argu-
ment, how old the earth is?
Answer-The biologists are almost
unanimous in the belief that the time
since the oldest stratified rock were
deposited cannot be less than one
dred million years. Hence, the earth
is that old, if not older.
Reader, Muscoda.-When young
man is about to marry a girl and does
not know anything of her past should
he be told what kind of life she led?
The man she is going to marry is too
ignorant to find out anything?
Answer-The past is dead and
should not be recalled. We are living
in the present, which time only
should be reckoned with. If the girl
has seen her folly and is now trying
to do the right thing, why should you
or anyone else try to hinder her?
Reader, Blue River. - Will you
please answer this question in your
@. and A. column? Why must we go
to bed at night when we are not
sleepy, and get up in the morning
when we are? Thank you.
Answer-Because nature is so per-
verse. Trying going to bed in the
morning when you're sleepy and get
ting up at night when you're not.
Reader, Blue River.-Why don't
men kiss their wives as much after
marriage as they do before marriage?
Answer-After marriage they're
too busy kissing their money goodbye.
G.. E., Avoca.-If man gives me an
81. o. u" and afterwards refuses to
pay it because it was given in a poker
games, can he be made to pay?
Answer-While it is not a promls~
sorry note, because it contains no
promise to pay, it can be sued upon
as an account stated, without proof
of the origin of the debt.
M. J., Highland.-Are there any re-
markable boys in Wisconsin?
Answer.-Yes: The other day we
heard of one who voluntarily washed
his ears.

COOPERATION SPELLS
DEATH TO THISTLES

This is the week that every farmer
IL Grant county is going to cooper
ate and find every Canada Thistle
patch of other obnoxious weeds on
his farm. In this way no ground will
be left uneXamined and every patch
can be controlled, because through
cooperation they can be stamped out
within few years, but without COOP
Grafton we will be over run with these
weeds within a short time.
This is the week to give the bad
weeds the death blow. After finding
all these patches we are going to keep
after them and not allow them to go
to seed at the least, in that way we
will Immediately check the enormous
spread that they have been making
each year through the scattering OF
the seeds by birds, animals and the
wind.
There are about 100000 acres of
hay, small grain, and corn raised in
Grant county each year. If we should
consider the loss due to weeds at the
small amount of one dollar per acre
you can Immediately see that it.
amounts to the enormous sum of
$4,000 loss per year due to weeds,
alone This is a small estimate as
you know that it takes a very small
increase in the crop to make it WORTH
one dollar more per acre. Many
farmers have made the statement.
that if Canada Thistles and other bad
weeds are allowed to increase at the
same pace in the next ten years as.
they have in the past ten we will be-
confronted with very grave prob
lem and the one dollar an acre loss
will be a small consideration. Let us;
make a death blow upon these weeds
and stamp out the heavy burden lost
through this great pest
Cooperation will do it. Everybody
do their part this week if you have
not already done so.
