IN COTTAGE HOME

Farm Home Near Waukesha
Last Night.
tBy Associated Press Leased Wire.l

fBy Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Waukesha, Wis. Neighbors who
fought vainly against flames that last
night RACED the little log cabin farm
homestead of Joseph Schreihans, south
Of Tess Corners, five miles southeast of
here, today found the charred bodies
OF the farmer and his mother, Mrs.
Mary Schreihans, "a, in the ruins.
The body of the man who was 80,
was lying in such position as to in
dicate that he had attempted to carry
his mother to safety but had persisted
in the flames few feet from the cabin
door, according to Coroner L. F. Lee,
who was called today to investigate
the blaze.
Neighbors' believe the intense cold
last night led the aged woman to over
crowd the small wood stove with fuel
and that the house was on fire when
Joseph returned from work at p. m.
He was seen returning home shortly
before o'clock and the blaze was dis
covered about 1880 p. m. by a neigh
Dor.

I Prisoners Can't Spend
Evenings at Home

Their, Evenings and Holidays at
County Jail.

This may prove Of interest in Ke-
nosha. The Attorney General of the
state has given an opinion that prison
ers who may be sentenced to the coun-
ty jail and who may be EARNED out"
by the Sheriff to work on ROADS or in
manufacturing establishments must

Rock county it was the opinion of the
sheriff that such prisoners, after the
whistle blew in the evening, could
spend quiet evening at home with
the wife and children or go to his
favorite club dropping round to the
jail in time to go to work in the
morning. The Attorney General says
that under this reading of the law a
sentence to jail wouldn't mean any

HOLDS FILLED MILK
GOOD FOOD PRODUCE
Judge Zimmerman Finds That File
Milk is Not Dangerous
Food Product.

Madison, Wis. - Findings of fact
upon which constitutionality of tn,
filled milk law enacted by the 1872
legislature will largely depend, were
reported to the supreme court toda.
by Judge A. G. Zimmerman. Argu
ments on the law involved in this &C
ton of the Carnation Milk Product
company against the statute which
prohibits manufacture or sale of pro
duet in Wisconsin will probably be
set by the court for its March as
signment.
Judge Zimmerman, his findings show
determined from the seventeen hun
dred pages of testimony developed at
the hearing on the case before him
November II to December 1, that com
pounds made from SKINNED milk and
cocoa nut oil, are not harmful or de
leterious as food either for adults
or children, but are not desirable as
a complete substitute for milk, because
of the lower vitamine content"
The distinction in food value be
tween whole milk and milk compounds
the Judge found to lie in the fact that
"the compound appears to be deficient
in vitamine A" But he added, "a
varied dish as is used by the American
people generally supplies ample v
tamines and the amount of any pa
ticular vitamine necessary for propc
growth is not known"
Chemists have apparently demon
strated," he said, "that in addition to
protein, caloric volume, and salts nee
essary for a well balanced diet, there
is required an additional productive
substance of recent discovery - vi
tamines.
"The milk compound" Judge zim-
norman pointed out, contains a suf-
ficiency Of all other elements, except
one class of vitamines, required to
make food complete as well as whole
some"
He concluded that the compound ''is
a wholesome food product in the sense
that bread, potatoes, or lean meats, or
cereals OF fruits are wholesome foods,
each for their uses and purposes and
that of milk compound is especially
in cooking and baking"

URGE FARMERS
10 STAND PAT
Milk Producers Marketing
Association Says it is
Not Bankrupt.
CHARGES LIBEL NOW

The Milk Producers Marketing asso-
citation, from its central offices in Chi
cago, has sent today a Geographic ap-
peal to the milk producers in Kenosha
county in an effort to prevent these
producers joining the forces of cred
TORS committee which has sought to
throw the Marketing company into
bankruptcy. 1t is understood that
many of the milk producers in this
county have shown a willingness to
follow in the steps of the creditors
who. have demanded an examination
into the business methods of the mar
keting company. In the telegram sent
out the executive committee of the
marketing company Says:
Bankruptcy not true. A so-called
Creditors committee some of whom
are not even creditors of this company,
are pretending to be acting for the
farmer members of the Milk Producers
Marketing company and are sending
out false misleading letter, together
with so-called proof of a claim in bank
ruptcy, with the intention of leading
farmers to believe the Marketing com
'pany has been declared bankrupt and
that farmers should file their claims
with this committee"
Say it is ''Cleverly'' Drawn.
"Cleverly drawn to mislead," contin-
ues the message, "this document is in
fuencing loyal farmers into signing it.
Any farmer who has the best interest
of the Marketing company at heart
should refuse to sign this so-called
proof of claim, or if he has signed it,
hould Immediately write this creditors
committee, demanding the return of
claim at once. The Marketing COM
pany is still doing business and has
not been declared bankrupt, neither
has a receiver been appointed. All
statements to the contrary are mali
cious fals!ehoods spread to deceive tie
farmers and to injure the company.
Pay no attention to the statement that
the company is bankrupt or in the
hands of receiver, for such state
ments are not true"
The message does not say whether
or not the farmers have been paid for
the December sales Of milk.

SLATER CALLS
RECORD TERM
Judge to Call Jury for
Service a Week from
Monday.
MANY TO BE TRIED
Over Eighty Criminal Cases,
Mostly Violations of Liquor
Laws on the Calendar.

Judge John C. Slater in the munich
pal court today announced that the jury
to hear the most unusual calendar in
the history of that court, would be call
ed for a week from next Monday and
it is expected that the court will be
busy for more than a month disposing
of the long list of cases slated to be
heard by the jury. The calendar will
be even a longer calendar than the one
which followed the activities of the
grand jury in the circuit court. 1t
was announced this morning that when
the jury is called more than eighty
five criminal cases will be awaiting
trial and it is expected that the large
majority of these cases will go to
srial before jury.
Nearly all of the eases on the calen-
dar grew out of violations of the pro-
cases in which the manufacture and
sale of moonshine is charged and other
scores charging defendants with hav-
ing liquor in their possession.
VIII Clean the Calendar.
81 have conferred with Judge Belden
and he expects that the work in the
circuit court will be completed by a
week from Monday" said Judge Slater
this morning. "It is our intention in
this court. to call the jury and clean
the calendar. We hope to bring these
+o +,-;aI i,c4 n G y-or;dl1y a = v,oee;bIo -, i
it will be our aim to get rid of every
one of them, no matter how many of
them may be tried by jury"
An examination of the calendar
shows that some of the cases are wait
ing trial as result of information
filed previous TO the calling of the
grand jury. There has been no order
for the dismissal of these cases and
it is possible that the first week of
the court term will be taken up in
deciding motions on the part of the
defendants who have been convicted
or who have pleaded guilty in the
circuit court.
Call 1t "Moonshine Term
The coming term of the municipal
court is being referred to as the
"moonshine term" Many of the de-
PENDANTS are men who have been taken
in raids made by the members of the
police department and by the sheriff S
sponge squad. Moonshine filters
through nearly every one of the cases
which are to be brought to trial at the
term. 1t is certain that lot of the
defendants will plead guilty. The fact
that the County Board has contracted
for space in the House of Correction
in Milwaukee may aid materially in
permitting Judge Slater to dispose Of
his list of defendants. There has been
bitter complaint on the part of some
people on account of the delay in the
trial Of these cases but it has been
physically impossible to call the eases
earlier on account of the fact that the
prosecuting officers and many of the
attorneys who are employed to defend
these men have been held in the circuit

FISHERMAN'S WIFE
: FROZEN TO DEATH
Alfred Peterson, Half Frozen, Brings
Body of His Wife Into Harbor
After Battle With Storm.

Port Wing, Wis. - Carried out into
the ice coated waters of Lake Superior
late Saturday when a severe gale
man of Knife River, Mimi, reached
here last night after his wife had per-
ished in the open row boat. Mrs. Pet
erson died at 10 a. m. yesterday ac-
cording to Peterson's story.
His legs and arms frozen, Peterson,
leaving the body of his wife in the ice
locked boat, crawled from one ice cake
to another until he reached the south
short of the lake one and one-half
miles east of here at six p. m. yester-
day, 81 hours after he lost control of
his boat.
Buffeted about by the wind which
ragged all during Saturday night while
the temperature dropped to 40 below
zero, the lowest point recorded here in
three years, the small boat with it's
helpless occupants was caught in the
center of huge ice cake late in the
night.
Peterson, grief-stricken and suffer-
ing greatly from the frozen. limbs, told
today how he had repeatedly attempted
to break the boat from the grasp of
the ice floes and proceeded toward the
south shore.
Shortly after daylight yesterday
Peterson said, the boat had been car
ried to within mile of the south
short but at the time Mrs. Peterson
was helpless from the cold and she
was unable to move. Peterson then at
tempted to carry her from the boat
towards shore. Finding the ice to be
unsafe for him to walk with his wife
in his arms Peterson said he returned
to the boat He renewed his efforts to
dislodge the boat but again was I'M
successful.
In the meantime Mrs. Peterson be-
came unconscious. She died in the
arms of her husband about 10 a. m.
All during thegafternoon Peterson
strove to release the boat but he was
numbed by the cold and as night came
on he left the boat and the lifeless
body of his wife and started for shore
Two hours later, he reached the firm
shore ice. Here he lay until nearby
settler attracted by Peterson's cries
for help assisted the fisherman to his
cabin. Later he was brought here. He
is being given medical attention and
it is believed that his legs and arms,
although severely frozen may be
saved

BIG FALLING OFF
In FARM ESTIMATE
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Washington.-There is no parallel in
the records of the bureau of markets
and crop estimates to the fall of $21.
or 500 in the average value per acre
of the ten crops constituting nine
tenths of all crop production, which
occurred in the two years from 1919 to
1921, it was announced today by the
department of agriculture. The de-
cline was found by the department to
have been from $35.74 in 1919 to $14.52
in 1921. The general trend of the av-
erage was downward, the departm
figures show, from about $14 per acre
in the years Immediately following the
Civil War to hardly So in 1896. the
lowest point in the industrial depres-
sion of that time, it was said. The
average per acre advanced to $3.50 in
1918 and reached the "peak" of 1854
in 1919. The fall in average, the de-
partment said, after 1919 "was more
rapid than the ascent at the beginning
of the war, even more rapid than the
ascent when this country became a
belligerent-if the average value per
acre went up like a rocket it came
down like stick"
Declaring that many farmers who
have never done so before are having
to mortgage their lands in order to
get necessary money, Secretary Wal
lace said, cit is discouraging to note
that many companies and individuals
who are in the business of 1oanin0
money on farm mortgages are taking
advantage of the farmers distress to
heartlessly extort a rate of interest
and terms of loan which cannot be
justified" Farmers, he said, were be-
ing compelled to pay 6, 63a and TO on
five or ten-year loans without optional
payments and also a commission of
5 or go, while in some cases as high
as 1870 was being added. The secre-
tary also charged that many loan com
panies were cutting down the an41un
they loan per acre to the lowest posi-
BILE point "thus restricting the farmers
credit at the very time when it should
be expanded as far as may be done
safely"
The secretary announced that 325
delegates had accepted invitations to
attend the conference. A total Of 439
invitations were issued, he said, OF
which 800 went to farmers and farm
groups. rs to state agricultural Off
Gals, state agricultural colleges and
farm editors and 60 to allied industries.

LIONS OLDEST
HAS BIRTHDAY
Mrs. Deliah King Of Zion
Celebrates Her 1O4th
Birthday Monday.
TELLS OF VISION

Mrs. Deliah King, of Zion, reached
her 104th birthday Monday. She has
had one of the most remarkable and
most unique careers in history. She
was born January %, 1918, in st. John,
New Brunswick, and was one of eleven
children, all Of whom have long since
died. She became Christian when
ten years of age, and she left her
home on the little island where she
was born, fifty-five years ago, making
her home in California.
In the year 1884 she was suffering
with cancer of the tongue and mouth
She went to different doctors, one of
which she paid fifty dollars in gold to
treat her disease, but all failed, and it
was when DR.. Dowie arrived at San
Francisco from Australia that she first
learned of Divine Healing. Later on,
while DR.. Dowie was holding ten
days mission in the Presbyterian
church, Oakland, California, Mrs. King
made her condition known to him, and
told of the horrible cancer that was
eating her life away, and leaving her
SO weak that she could scarcely walk.
There were holes in the throat and
tongue that the cancer had already
eaten away, but as soon as DR.. Dowie
prayed for her she was instantly heal
ed, the cancer was killed, and in a
short time the big sores healed up.
Saw Christ in Vision.
Another unique thing about Mrs.
Kings career occurred few years
ago. She was very sick, and one morn
ing as she lay in bed she began to wish
that the Lord would take her home.
1t was just about daybreak, although
the sun had not yet appeared over the
horizon. Presently, she says, the
Christ appeared at her bedside and
stood there at the foot of her bed, gaz-
ing down at her compassionately He
was clad in shining white apparel, and
he was so near to her that she could
see the fngernails on His hands. He
gazed at her for few moments, says
Mrs. King, and He then drew His
skirts away, as much as to say Don't
LOuSh me- 1uSn Liz NdH1SISus D.
King was SO happy over the visit of
her Lord that she got out of bed, and
kneeling at the bedside she prayed the
good Lord to take her home. AS she
prayed, voice said to her quite dis
tinctly, "You shall live to see me come
again as I went"
Right to this day, Mrs. King has a
strong conviction that she will live to
see the Lords return to earth.
Once Member of Choir.
Mrs. King attended Zion tabernacle
regularly until about three years ago,
when she became too feeble to take
further part inIthe meetings. She used
to wear white robe and march in the
professional along with the choir and
robed oficers.}o She seems to be in good
health, although of course very feeble.
It is the usual thing for Mrs. King
to take dinner with Overseer Voliva
and his wife ION her birthday. She is
the oldest woman living in Lake county
and she is staunch Republican and
helped to elect President Harding by
casting her vote for him. She attends
every important election and casts her
vote, being conveyed to the polling
booth in Overseer Voliva's limousine,
