Annual Report.

In its fourth annual report, made
public today. the District minimum
wage board voices the belief that the
minimum wage law for women and
children Is accomplishing the pur-
poses for which 1t was enacted.
The report shows that approx
the four orders that have been issued
thus far, fixing a minimum wage In
that number Of industries. The board
estimates that there are about 5000
other working women for whom, a
minimum wage may be fxed under
the law. The board. however. Is
marking time pending q decision from
the courts on the constitutionality of
the faw.

In synopsis OF the report made
public this morning. the board makes
the following observations on the ef-
feet of the law:
I TN every industry covered by

wage rate brought about q substan-
tlal increase in wages. Moreover, in
each industry there has followed a
gradual increase in the proportion of
persons paid more than the minimum
wage, until in the latter part of 1921
approximately 81 per cent of the
women and minors employed in these
industries were receiving more than
the minimum rates fixed by law. This
shows conclusively that there\ has

One of Wisconsin's most distin- guished daughters, Zona Gale, did not achieve recognition without struggle. Born at Portage, and fin- ishing her education at the state uni versity, she went to Milwaukee to become a newspaper woman. Prog ress was slow, and was still slower when she made try in New York.
 Miss Gale made two different att tempts and spent nearly two years before she gained precarieus foot hold in the journalism of the metrop- olis. One of these years, in order to obtain a regular salary, she spent in secretarial work. Nexty she put in two years of unremitting industry on sketches and stories before one was accepted by magazine of standing.
 After placing a story with Smart Set and another with Success maga- zine, she had confidence in her ability to succeed as a writer and returned to Portage. Her "Friendship Village" and other stories. which have placed a number of Wisconsin communities on the map, gave her a name in the world of letters. Now, as the author successful novels of recent years, she has leisure to plan other big work, and to take the delight of a true na- ture lover in the flowers, trees, squir- re's and birds of her pretty home.
 We are fortunate in having se- cured the serial rights to ''Miss Lulu Bett' and shall offer it to readers of this paper.

wounded man made no resistance
and was taken to the office of Dr..

would lose his arm as the elbow was
shattered by 2 shots. He bore other
marks of violence. After his capture
he had little TO say, his weakness
prcying heavily upon his mind. He
recognized several friends but re-
manned silent insofar as discussing
Ills eXcapadc. He seemed content
to rest after the strenuous event he
had been through. Not single
reason did he give to anyone not
even to friends and relatives he
recognized for his desire to remain
alone in the big house and meant
to use armed force in this conncc-

CATTLE IN SOUTH AMERICA.

Argentina. which has long ranked
as one OF the greatest meat produc-
ing countries. is about to develop an
enormous industry in dairy pro-
ducts. This statement was made
by Prof. George C.. Humphreys, of
the University of Wisconsin, Il well

who left for South America this
week. Prof. Humphreys is going
10 Argentina at the request of the

cattle and the development of a
dairy product industry. He will
travel to Argentina by the way Of
Valparaiso and the TranS-Andinc
Railroad in order to have an Oppor-
tunity TO visit some of the large Ar
gentinc cattle ranches on his way
to Buenos Ayres. In speaking of the
outlook for the new industry, Pof.
Humphreys said: "Hitherto the
raising of cattle in Argentina has
been almost entirely connected with
the meat industry and it has been
difficult to obtain sufficient milk and
butter to meet current Requirements.
Argentina's population, however, is
growing so rapidly that it has be-
come necessary to increase the out
put of dairy pndrcts, and have
been asked to visit the country and
assist Argentine cattle raiscrs in eS-
tablishing dairy farms and getting
an insight into American ideas.

five months and in that time will
probably be able to get the new in
dustry we'll under way.
The Argentine Government has
already obtained, through the Uni
vcrsity Of Wisconsin, some of our
best HolStcinS and has good
nucleus for extending the dairy
business throughout the Republic.

soon will be released in the woods.
All of the young birds have been
raised from eggs secured from the

of the distribution was approXi-
mately 200 eggs, which were dis

Notwithstanding the fact that the
