MUSKRAT CLOSED SEASON

The long looked for order of the
Conservation Commission in regard to
the closed season on furbearing ami
mails, was issued Monday, Sept. IS.
Complete order appears elsewhere in
the Censor.
As far as the order applies to Yer
non county it provides that there shall
be no open season on muskrat and
prohibits the trapping of coon at any
time but does not prohibit the hunting
of coon during the open season.
No change was made in regard to
mink. or skunk, so as the law now
stands for this county skunk may be
trapped after October 18th, and mink
after November LIST, and it will be law
full to shoot coon after October 18th.
According to an order of the Conser-
walton Commission recently received,
the county clerk is not allowed to is
sue a new hunting license upon re-
ceipt of the old one but must have
a regular application on file for each
license issued. Therefore don't send
in your old licenses any more to have
them renewed as the county clerk will
have to notify you to go before no.
tary or justice, or to come to his office
and make out the regular application.
No charge will be made for the ap-
plication if made before the county
clerk but other offices have a right to
charge reasonable fee.

NO discrimination

Madison, Sept. l6-Actlon against
the Milk Producers Cooperative Mar
keting Company was begun by the
Wisconsin Department of Markets to-
day through service Of a complaint
alleging unfair methods Of COMPETE
ton by the company against farmers
who refuse to join it.
The company comprises six thou
sand farmer members, has its princi-
pal Office in Chicago, and operates ex-
tensively throughout southern Wis
consin.
The complaint alleges that the COM
pany under threat of Withdrawing
from a dealer all of his milk supply
which the company controls by con-
tracts with producers, requires such
dealer to enter into an agreement
whereby he is obliged to pay to the
company a so-called service charge
''in addition to the highest price"
which he shall pay to farmers outside
of the organization. This Service
charge" was fixed at 25c in June, SOC
in July, 75c in August and SOC in Eep-
TENDER, per hundred pounds of milk.
The complaint sets out that the
service charge" is fictitious; that al
though the charge is said to be in con-
sideration of the company's services in
Assembling and concentrating" milk,
the company does not actually render
such a service commensurate with this
charge; moreover, that the company is
legally impotent" to assemble and
concentrate milk in Wisconsin, mas
much as it is foreign corporation
and is not licensed to do any business
in this state.
The complaint charges that ''the inn
position of this fictitious service charge
is designed to penalize those producers
of milk who are not under contract to
the Milk Producers Cooperative Mar
keting Company and to coerce such
ducers into signing contracts with said
organization" The exaction of this
differential, sin addition to the highest
price" which the dealer is allowed to
pay to others, is said to be unfair COM
petition against producers of milk
who are not under contract to the Milk
Producers Cooperative Marketing
Company"
The complaint in this matter, was
originally made at the instance of
groupe of farmers near Beloit. The
uaSion and involves the Sturdevant,
Wright & Wagner Dairy Co. as dealer
Public hearing, to determine wheth-
er the company shall be ordered to re-
trench from its service charge con-
tract, will be held in the office of the
Department of Markets, State Capitol,
at 1000 A. M. on Monday, October 2.
1.-THE marketing law, unlike the anti
trust statute, contains no exemption
of farmers organizations" is the
statement of its author and counsel
for the department ITO arbitrarily
exempt any particular class would be
to run the risk fhaving the courts de-
clare the whole enactment void as
denial of the equal protection of the
law. This is what happened to the
antitrust statute of Illinois.
I'VE have no prejudices against this
Illinois Wisconsin farmers organiza-
ton. 1t is our duty to assume juris-
diction of this case, just as it was our
duty, in recent orders, to take action
involving the STANDARD Oil Co. and to-
bacco buyers of this state"

TEACHERS GIVEN
FORMAL RECEPTION
RECEPTION FOR TEACHERS
AND SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS
City Superintendent, County Superin-
tendent, Normal Principal and
Wiye sHosts and Hostesses at
Normal Auditorium

A delightful reception for the teach
ers, school board members, and wives,
supervising teachers and wives, coun-
" nurse ard county agent was held
at the county normal at eight o'clock
Friday evening with city superintend-
ent, l.. W. Fulton and wife, County
superintendent, Geo. E. Sanford and
VIE, and Principal G. L. Hill and wife
as hosts and hostesses.
The auditorium was neatly decorat-
ed and arranged with chairs, rockers
and rugs in an inviting and comfort
able manner. Nearly sixty invita-
tons were sent out, all Of which were
present except four, who were unable
to attend.
As many of the teachers were new
IN NIroqua, all were labelled. to aid in
getting acquainted. Special features
Of the evenings entertainment were
the finding of ones group according
to birth month under the signs of the
Zodiac for the months of the year:
this proved interesting and set IN an
instant demand for almanaes; then an
examination in FIVE subjects was held
to prove the fitness of teachers and
school board members to fill their po-
sltlons. Miss Xena Cade was duly
granted a diploma as winner in this
contest. Mr.. Kruger, the man win
ming highest honor was given a bottle
of shoe polish with the advice that
since he did not shine at the head of
the class, he could shine at the foot"
Then followed songs, good old songs,
after whicha ice cream, waters and
cake and coffee were served The re-
freshments were followed by grand
march ending in the Virginian reel
and few minutes of dancing.
Withal, it was an unique get-togeth-
er and mixer, devoid of stiff formaliti-
es, for those who are to work in our
schools the coming year. Viroqua has
good reason to be proud of its teach
ers and it is our hope that the teach
ers may be as pleased to be with vi
roqua as they were pleased at the
opening reception given them by our
leaders in educational affairs.
