Madison fire alarm was sounded at
8 o'clock Monday morning for
blaze in the basement of the Madison
Fruit Store on Main street, and
which is located on the ground floor
of the old Sunouds Block now owned
by M, H. Shapiro of Auburn. Inc
fire was discovered by small boy
who was standing back of the block
in front of the Foss Bakery and saw
the smoke pouring from the building.
The box at the fire station was pull
led in and although the station was
only a few rods away where the de-
partment aimed a dense smoke was
pouring from the west side or the
building. The fire caught around the
chimney. BY prompt and ef1clent
work it was confined wholly to the
basement and back end of the fruit
store. In the basement was large
quantity of Christmas candy. nuts
and fruit which will probably be
total loss. The stock in the store
above was also badly smoked. Mr..
Vantraseo the proprietor stated that
he had about a $4,000 stock with a
small insurance. 1t is impossible
to tell the extent of the damage to
the stock at present but 1t will
probably be considerable more than
half of it's value. The rooms of the
Madison House on the two upper
stories, of the building were filled
with smoke, but the damage was
slight. The Alpine restaurant which
occupies the other store on the
ground floor escaped with a slight
amount of smoke.

DRY FORCE WILL
GARRY ON"
Although Appropriations are Limit
ed Prohibition Statutes VIII Be
Enforced, Says Sachtjen.

Madison-State prohibition forces
will carry on as energetic a
campaign against liquor violations in
the future as in the past, State Com
missioner Herman Sachtjen said to-
day, commenting on Federal Direct
or Perry's proposal to hold confer
ences for enforcement throughout
the state. Governor Blaine last
week expressed himself as opposed
to such conferences.
Our appropriations are linn ed
but we intend to enforce the prob.-
bition statutes to the fullest extent
under available funds" Commission
er Sachtjen said. ''If we had an
unlimited amount of funds we might
increase our efforts by adding more
deputies The enforcement work
as far as the state department is
concerned, has been progressing
favorably and promises to continue
so"
Commissioner Sachtjen said that
he agreed with Governor Blaine in
his opinions regarding the proposed
conference. No official invitation
to join in the program outlined by
the federal director had been re-
ceived by Mr.. Sachtjen yesterday

Hnrd.Headed Haxseed

Senator Magnus Johnson of
Minnesota, the Swedish-American
farmer who has been added to the
Progressive bloc from Minnesota,
has been in New York and was quite
a disappointment to the radical Reds
and yelling Fellows.
The soft-handed intellectuals and
white-collar and pink-tea parlor
revolutionists did not get much
satisfaction out of the legislator who
is a landowner and has worked
hard all his life.
He baked at any Of their ideas Of
social revolution, dividing up
wealth and lands and the Soviet
dictatorship Of the proleteriat that is
trying to establish itself upon the
necks of the American people.
OF course, the bolshevistic ele-
ments, who are trying to ride into
power by a fusion Of the farmer and
labor votes, are anxious to grab
some such man for a political
stalking horse
Senator Johnson does not seem
at all willing to fall for any form Of
radicalism and is not posing as one
who would lead the inarticulate
masses with a torch in one hand and
a bomb in the other-The Manu-
facturer.

NO CAR SHORTAGE IN VISION
SIN THIS YEAR
State Railroad Commission Promises
That There viii Be Plenty of
Cars to Move Crops.

Observation-Disclosures is to have no
. ear shortage this year as has been
the case in past years.
This was the promise made re-
Gently by members of the state rail
road commission who have been
bending every effort to prevent a
recurrence of the usual car shortage
which has caused loss for Wiscon-
sin farmers of thousands of dollars
in crops, damaged because they
could not be moved TO market.
The railroad commission has had
a special investigator ON the road
who has made careful inspection of
the number of cars available and
the place where they are wanted, ac-
cording to Lewis Gettle of the COM
mission. They have also sent
questionnaires to to 700 potato
growers in the state asking at what
time they will want to ship their ears
and how many they will need
This Inspector in a number of in
stances has forced shippers and
dealers to unload their cars where
they have remained standing on the
tracks for long periods at a time.
A number of conferences have been
held with railroad officials in an
effort to induce them to provide
sufficient number of cars 60 keep
those in repair which are available.
"The greatest difficulty that we
face is finding cars in repair" Gettle
said. 1.-THE cars are permitted to
stand on the tracks for long periods
at a time and thus fall into repair
In number of cases the railroads
make no attempt to keep them in
repair. l think, however, that we
have successfully met the situation
this year and that there will be no
car shortage"

levies. With the usual lcvies for
running expenses Of the city and
ordinary improvements the rate this
year under the re-assessment would
be lower than it has been for
several years. With a lower rate
the taxpayer would be paying less

valuation But the city CON

the city fathers decide to boost the

proposed extraordinary improve
ments the taxpayer would get little

has been around $3.50 per hundred

it would be around $500 under the
