EFFORT TO HAVE MILK BOTTLES
MARKED IS DEFEATED At DOVER
LOWER HOUSE OF LEGISLATURE
SPENDS MUCH TINE ON BILL
Bill Prohibiting Filled Milk Passes;
Also Bill Regulating the Manufac-
ture Ice Cream-Saccharin Illegal

Milk bottles, pop bottles, bottling
establishments, beverages and food
products occupied a large part of the
time of the members of the House
Friday afternoon. The discussion
started when Senator Highfeld's Sen
ate bill to authorize the registry of
names and marks on milk bottles in
the same manner as bottles contain
ing ginger ale, lemon, soda, near beer,
ETC., are registered, was called up for
final action and defeated in the House.
By vote of 20 to the House passed
Representative Brogan's bill which
provides stringent sanitary regula-
tions for bottling establishments. 1t
provides that the walls must be white
washed the floors made of material
that can be flushed; all refuse must
be disposed of every day and people
with contagious or skin diseases can
not be employed. 1t prohibits the use
of saccharin for sweetening purposes
and the use of acids for coloring.
Representative BrOgan said there were
several bottling establishments in
Wilmington which were in a filthy
condition and this bill would make
them clean up. He said people who
use soft drinks want to know they are
pure and clean.
Sale of Filled Milk Prohibited in Bill
Representative DAVIS substitute
House bill prohibiting the sale of "fill-
ed'' milk in this State, was passed
unanimously. Mr.. Danks, of the Win
terthur Farms, explained the filled
milk bears the same relation to pure
milk as oleomargarine does to butter
] He said eleven states have passed
laws prohibiting its manufacture anC
sale. He explained that filled" mill
is milk from which all the butter fat!
have been extracted and eocOanut OF
substituted. He said it was not in
furious, but has no food value. Las
year, he added, 85,000,000 pounds o
e skim milk had been used in the manu-
' facture of "filled" milk. Representa-
l tive Lord wanted to know what woul
n become of this 85,0O0,000 pounds o
I skim milk if "filled milk could not b
+ manufactured. He intimated that i
+ this movement against "filled" mil
(, there might possibly be a scheme fO
d increasing the price of butter. Nj
q Dank replied that the farmer coul
Il find ample markets for all the skin
. milk he had.
Il Pure Ice Cream Must be Manufacture
1t This was followed by the unanimor
Is passage of Representative Dave
House bill providing for the manufa
ture of pure" ice cream, and impO
ing a fine of $50 to S1OO for infra
le tions. A House amendment to Il
" bill empowers the State Board
Agriculture to enforce the law Forr
oI er Representative Harry Clark e

SIGNS BEING lMPRovEp

The motto of the Wisconsin High
way commission, Serve the Traffic,
has developed a decision to change
the highway markings from telephone
and telegraph poles to position
close to the path of vehicles. This
change is to bring the sign where it
can be seen at all times. The old
signs were easily missed in some
cases. particularly at night. and even
when the sign was observable the
numbers were not easily read. A
supporting staff will be provided. sur
mounted by the triangular sign. bear.
ing the number of the highway and
letters to indicate that the road is
a part of the state trunkline system.
The design viii differ from the pre-
sent marking in that the. black mum
3ers Of the road will be larger and
will stand out more emphatically on
the white background.
The signs will be placed as close
to the vehicle path as practicable, to
be the more easily observed and read
by moving traffic The expectation is
that some signs may be knocked down
in the course of a season, but the
serving of the traffic is the main con
sideration.

soTAToL SAVES MUCH

The spring call for sodatol, the
cheap war salyaged explosive has
been sounded by John Swenehart of
the agricultural college of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Backed by the fact that more than
100000 pounds of this explosive aid
ed the farmers of the state in the
fall and winter campaign the spring
drive to distribute 100000 pounds is
under way.
The price announced Tor this drive
is $5.95 a hundred pounds delivered
in CARROTS TO railroad stations in Wis
consin. The use OF this explosive in
land clearing in upper Wisconsin, and
in small stony or stumpy spots in
southern Wisconsin will save many
thousands of dollars for Badger farm
ers. No order for more than 1000 fbs
will be accepted from any farmer.
OF these southern counties using
the new explosive Grant leads the
list with total of $4,000 pounds of
explosives ordered. Walworth follows
18th $4,000 while Manitowoc with her
20 900 leounds completes the list of
counties in the southern half of the
tate whose orders have run into five
figures. Sixtyleight counties in the
state have availed themselves of the
money saving explosive and many
acres will be under pillow next spring
as result of the renewal inter4 t
in land clearing work

procession. The adoption of the Cur
tbs Anthony amendment would wipe
cut all of these determinations. With
that amendment in effect it would be
unconstitutional for any state to enact
any law granting to one sex any priv
lege or right not accorded in equal de-
gree to the other.
The other constitutional amend
ment referred to was proposed by
Senator Norris of Nebraska. 1t pro-
vides for the commencement of the
terms of president and vice-president
and members of congress. At pre-
sent those terms begin on the fourth
of March Under the Norris amend
ment the terms of the president and
vice president would begin at noon on
the third Monday in January, and the
terms Of senators and representatives
at noon on the first Monday in Janu-
airy. At present the president does
not take his office until fourm onths
after the election. Under the Norris
amendment he would take office
about ten weeks after the election.
Although senators and congress-
men assume their offices at present
on the fourth of March, their official
service really does not become effec-
tive until the following December
when the first regular session con-
venes, unless the president calls them
into special session. That means that
in the regular course of events new
congress would not have an oppor-
tunity to register it's policies until
thirteen months after it had been vot
ed into power. The Norris amend
ment not only provides that senators
and congressman shall assume their
offices on the first Monday in Janu-
airy following the election, but that
there shall be session of congress
beginning on the first Monday in Jan
uary. Congress would become almost
Immediately effective. The ney con-
gress would be in session two weeks
before the time for the new presi-
dent to assume his duties.
This differenceais intended to pro,
vide congress an opportunity to elect
a president if the vote at the general
election failed to result in the choice

The Great Solution
Our banks are managed by officers
and directors, elected by their own
stockholders. They are interested in
helping the town to grow and prosper
But just as a local telephone station
is valuable to the interchange o
thought because it belongs to a
system whose wires reach to all parts
Of the nation, so the local bank Is
valuable to the interchange OF bust
ness because of it's connections, with
other banks in the United States
finding its strength and its usefulness
In being part Of system.
For many years plan was sought
whereby our thousands of separate
and independent banks could get to
gether and cooperate for the improve
ment Of our banking methods. and for
mutual protection in emergencies
both for themselves and customers
We had periodical money panics dan
gerously disturbing to business. and
chargeable, in large part. to defects
In our banking and currency system
There was no central bank from
which the individual banks could get
assistance In time OF trouble. Panic
conditions caused weak banks to fail.
and even strong and sound institutions
70 be imperilled. Bankers. business
men. and leaders in Congress for
years made careful study OF banking
and finally Congress passed law
providing for the establishment OF
twelve great Federal Reserve Banks,
each designed to serve as sort OF
central bank for such banks in its
allotted territory as might become
members of the Federal Reserve
System.
II retained the American plan OF
Independent banks doing business un-
der the management Of their own d.
rectors and officers. About 10 900
banks have become members of the
Federal Reserve System. The mem
Der banks in each district own the
entire stock Of the Federal Reserve
bank there, and elect two thirds OF
the directors. The other directors are
appointed by the Federal Reserve
Board at Washington, the Govern
mental body having supervision over
the Reserve banks, though 1t does
not operate them. It's members
are appointed by the President of the
United States.
The Federal Reserve banks hold

each bank carried In its own vault
the cash required by law as a legal
reserve so that 1t would be ready to
pay depositors on demand. The gold
supply Of the country was thus scat
cred among thousands of independent
banks.
When Fire RACES
This situation may be likened to
the old-time water supply in a town.
Each house had to depend on its in
dividual we'll. tank. or cistern. Pic
ture such a town attacked by fire. II
the water was low In one we'll. from
drought, or excessive use. water
would have to be borrowed from q
neighboring we'll Suppose the water
IN that well also was at low level.
Thus the safety Of all was sacrificed
because no RESERVE water supply
was at hand. The fire would become
a confagration.
Under the Federal Reserve System.
we have a series of modern reservoirs.
located in various parts OF the coun-
try. each serving the needs Of the
banks in it's own district. In each of
these reservoirs credit is stored up to
be supplied to the various banks, as
the need arises Each reservoir fs
in turn connected with all the others
so that when the supply in one be-
comes low. the others may be tenn.
porarily drawn upon BY gathering
the gold reserves Of the member
banks into the twelve Federal Re
serve banks. a result has been OBJ
tanned like that yielded by the con-
struction OF great city water supply.
Each member bank formerly had to
depend almost entirely upon its own
resources in making loans to its Gus
toners. When 1t had loaned all Of its
own money, It could do no more. even
though the merchant. manufacturer,
or farmer customer had great need
Of more credit. and was seeking 1t
for highly important and necessary
purposes. Hence arose what was
called slight money" situation Now
the member bank can. and frequently
does take the notes of its customers
to the Federal Reserve bank. and
borrows there in much the same way
as the customer borrows from the
member bank
This reserve-storing and loaning
work of the Reserve system is only
part Of the wonderful protection and
service 1t is rendering the nation.

Under the equal suffrage amend
ment women now have equal rights
with men SO far as voting is concern
ed. It required d constitutional amend
ment to establish that right for the
reason that states specified the quail
fications of voters. For the same rea
son, a constitutional amendment will
be necessary if women are to have
equal rights with men in other re-
!spects. Property rights, particularly
in the matter of inheritance, are de-
termined by state laws, and at pre-
sent a great many if not a majority
of the states, accord a wife lesser
rights than are accorded to her hus-
band In most instances, when wo-
man dies herr husband acquires a
much larger right to her property
than she acquires in the case of his
death.
The difference in the matter of
property rights has been gradually
growing less as one state after anoth
er liberalizes its laws and recognizes
the injustice of former notions of the
rights of women, but there are some
states that are still far behind the

The spirit of Christmas truly per
vades Wisconsin's weeklies these
days. Fat bulky issues, loaded with
ads running as high as sixteen and
twenty pages, bespeak a Merry Christ

ton. Decorative borders and designs
grace the pages while some have high
ly colored covers which are very at
tractive. Mistletoe. evergreen and the

How MARK TWAIN ANSWERED

Mark Twain in his early days was
editor of Mississippi newspaper. A
superstitious subscriber wrote him,
saying that he had found spider in
his paper, and asked whether that
was sign of good or bad luck. The
humorist wrote this answer and print
ed it: Finding a spider in your paper
was neither good nor bad luck for you
The spider was merely looking over
our paper to see which merchant is
not advertising, so that he can go to
that store, spin his web across the
door and live life Of undisturbed
peace ever afterwards.
