HIS own "poupIe!"

Few modern statesmen are the sub.
ject of so many good stories as NJ.
Glemenceau, who is eighty-one. Here
Is one of the latest:
The other day he went round the
street markets of Paris testing prices,
following his usual habit of seeing
things for himself. Asking an old
woman ut one of the stalls the price
Of some carrots, he was told 60 cen
times.
'They are too DEAR" he protested.
II will give you fifty"
The woman looked at him a minute,
perhaps to see II IL was worth while
haggling, and then said:
VERY well, you shall have them for
fifty. because, my little old man, you
resemble u good NJ. Clemeneeau."

Keep Tight Rein on Emotions.

The emotlonally uncontrolled not
merely tend to an impractical impul-
which continually sweep through them
cause them to see facts in a distorted
way, clouding their judgment, and thus
deceiving them into conclusions which
may be the reverse Of sound.
AN angry man." as the proverb
tersely puts 1t, "cannot see straight"
As with anger, so with the other emo
lions. To give them free rein Is to
yield all hope of winning a place
among the effectively practical. the
sensibly efficient, the success-winners.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
By H. G. Seyforth.

The sum total of the experiments
conducted in twenty eight different
states during period of twenty years
proves silage the most economic food
fer the production of stock and stock
products. Coin silage is the cheapest
source of digestable carbohydrates.
As this is the principal food element
required by our domestic animals it
certainly is wise to provide it. For
age damaged by frost, drought or
hail can still be made into good silage.
Thus the silo furnishes insurance a.
gainst many Of the common crop fail
ures. The silo saves storage space;
eight times more feed can be stored
in a silo than in NOV. The silo
saves labor; cattle can be fed easily
and quickly from the silo which is
close at hand and always in feeding
condition. Trucking and hauling
about of feeds is not required by a
silo.
Those who did not have the oppor-
tunity to hear Nj J. M. Kelley at
Baldwin, April 10th will have another
opportunity to hear him speak Sat

BLAINE APPOINTS IMMELL

Madison-What lifelong friends of
the Wisconsin National guard call its
first political appointment was made
Thursday when Gov. John j. Blaine
announced the appointment of his
private secretary, Ralph lmmell, %,
as adjutant general with the rank of
brigadier general at a salary of $4,000
year.
Immell, who has rendered valiant
service fighting in the governors po-
!itical ranks, won "the battle of the
capitol telephone switchboard" when
he succeeded in ousting a law school
student from a position he had OBJ
tanned to work his way through school

CERTIFIED POTATO GROWERS

Pierce and St. Croix counties have
two men on the list Of Wisconsin
potato growers who have been given
certificates for the production of
high class seed stock during the
1929 season.
These men, according to a report
issued by the Wisconsin college of
Agriculture, produced seed stock Of
very high merit. Following are their
names and the amounts and var
produced: VIM. Brown, Spring Valley,
155 bu., and Paul Rivard, Somerset,
1875 bu., both, raising the Rural New
York variety.
Of the nearly 100000 bushels Of
seed potatoes raised in 36 counties Of
the state, about 10000 bushels aye
Rural Now Workers, about $4,000
Green Mountain, and about $4,000
Tr;uynphs. The remainder is divided
between Early Ohio, Russet, Rural,
IrishCobbler and King varieties.

they are learning to do something
which is going to be OF great pract-
zeal value to them all through lie.
They are learning, not alone the
scientific steps of caring for some
thing in such way as to make 1t
yield profit but they are taught the
necessary business procedure which
should accompany such an undertake
ing, such as financing the undertake
ing and marketing their product. Not
all of these boys and girls are sue
cessful but when they fail they have
the opportunity to see why they fail
ed, to see why some of THEM COM
petitors succeeded. Some of these
embryo farmers have been so success
full as to get well on the way to opu-
lence while yet in their teens and
some of them have been paying for an
education out off the profits of their
projects. The drive held last week IN
Pierce County for Club members was
eigh.yone young folks enrolled in var
ious projects on which the will work
this coming season. This number
will very likely be increased to 200
before June 1st. Miss Hagerty, the
assistant State Club Leader spent
three days in the county and talked to
the boys and giis of the many OPP
portunities for them in this form Of
work. The following number en-
rolled in each project: Garden, 20;
Canning, 8; Sewing, So; Cooking, z;
Pig, 20; Calf, %; Poultry, 20; Corn,
16; Potato, 8.
Watch your apple trees closley.
AS soon as the petals begin to fall
start spraying the trees thoroughly.
The different varieties will blossom
at different times. Purchase your
spray material early, so that when
you want to spray you have it on

ten to fifteen days later.
A purebred Holstein sale Will be
held at M2nopnonie, Wis. on May 18th.
Some of the consignments to sthis
sale are from the eastern part of
Pierce County.
There are many complex mineral
mixtures on the market, but none of
thdm have any merit whatever over
the urmixed, simple ingredients that
livestock need. If the COW is getting
good clover or alfalfa hay in addition
tC her grains and silage, the only thing
she needs in addition is some common
salt, possibly some bone meal or wood
ashes, and, if necessary, potassium or
sodium iodide to prevent goiter.
There is absolutely no need to spend
money for any other minerals.

university and had had differences on
previous occasions.
Immell, who has had practically no
experience with the Wisconsin Ma
tional guard, will step into shoes filled
by Gen. Chandler F. Chapman, Gen.
Charles r. King, Gen. Char.es 4
Boardman, Gen. Orlando Holway and
others who helped to build up an OH
ganization that produced the lror
brigade of the Civil war and the Thir
tv-second division of the World war.
Immell's military experience is con-
fined to that obtained in the World
wan, when he was given second
lieutenant's commission at the second
Fort Sheridan training camp. He was
assigned to the Twenty-sixth divlson
and served with that organization for
a time, after which he was placed IN
the field officers school at Chatlllon-
sur-Sein. He was born in Trempe-
aleau county, attended high school at
La Crosse, attended the University of
Wyoming and also was graduated
from the law school of the University
of Wisconsin, being admitted to the
bar in September, 1922. Incidentally,
Immell is the first lawyer to obtain
the appointment as adjutant general.
Immell's appointment was COIN
plete surprise to members of the
guald, who had expected that men of
long experience, who have demonstra-
ted in camp, office and battle their
qualifications to head the organiza-
ton, would be given favorable consid-
GRAFTON by the governor. Some of the
men mentioned were Lieut.. Col Char
les R. Williams, Col. John G. Salsman,
acting adjutant general; Col. Paul
Clemens, ard Col. Philip Westfahl.
At no time did the governor give an
indication, gualdsman say, that he in
tended to appoint his private secret
airy to the position.
The appointment is practically a
permanent one and requires no con-
irmation by the senate or assembly.
The adjutant general can be removed
only for cause until he reaches the
age of 81, when he is automatically
retired-Milwaukee Journal.

HIGHWAY COMMISSION WILL
FURNISH HIGHWAY SERVICE
MAP FOR 1928

The Wisconsin Commission will
furnish a highway service map on
practically the same plan as furnished
in 1929.
The highway service map IS 40 40
inches and contains all the state trunk
and principal county trunk highways.
The map itself has been improved
somewhat over that of 1922. 1t shows
by different conventions the type OF
road and also shows in colors the jobs
under construction throughout the
state. Construction jobs that offer
no impeachment to travel are shown in
green and these closed to traffic are
shown in red. The detours around
such closed construction jobs are also
shown in green. In other words, those
roads shown in green may be travelled
and those shown in red are closed to
travel.
The information is forwarded each
Monday from the division offices OF
the Commission. The information is
Immediately transferred to blank
highway service maps and the maps
are mailed to the subscribers on Wed
nesday. Subscribers will receive the
same not lateJ than Thursday of
each week, which gives their patrons
the information for weekend trips.
The Service this season will eX-
tend over period of twenty weeks or
more, beginning about May Is and
ending about October Is. The charge
for such service will be SO for the
season, which amount is estimated to

be the actual cost of such service to
the Commission. Single copies will
be furnished for$.75 each.
In addition to the payment Of the
fee above mentioned, the regular sub
scribers must agree to furnish a
frame on which to mount the weekly
maps and give the maps suitable
location where the public may have
access to the same They must agree
to promptly replace the old map
by the new map each week upon re-
ceipt of the same or the service will
be discontinued by the commission, as
it does not wish any OUT of date map
to be before the public.

the occasion of the annual formal
dancing party at Kemper hall, Ken

Since the founding of the school, it

Both Williams and Mccarthy ap-
peared confident of winning-just
like -vo world S series cirbs always

Williams continued to hang his
case chiefly on the contention that
five of the eight clubs. had voted
for him and that he had won by

Despite dishcartening lack of sup

hoped by those who have the in
terest of the national game at heart,
that El Centre would be able to
put a team in the league to battle
with Calexico, McXicali, Brawley
and Calipatria, but it was not to
be. The team managed to play one
game, which it lost, but il would
be difficult for the New York
Yankees to play winning ball If
the fans of Shat city did not dis
rlay more interest in their team
than do the people in El Centre.

down here prepared to do battle
The boys from the baby city Of

other teams in the league. There
is some talk Of transferring the
local franchise to Holtrillc, and
this may be done to keep the league
intact.
It is sal indictment to fhe
community spirit of FL Centre, the

the foremost city in 'the valley,
when it cannot support Il ball team
