BLOOMINGTON CASE NOT
AFFECTED BY PRENTICE
CONSOLIDATION DECISION

The Supreme court has decided in
the Prentice school consolidation
case. The court reversed the decision
of Judge Ray Stevens and upheld the
state superintendent
j. w. Murphy, Platteville, attorney
for the nti-consolidationists at
Bloomington, said emphatically last
Friday that the Supreme court decis-
ION did not settle his case which is
still TO be heard. Mr.. Murphy calls
attention to the Prentice decision af-
fecting the common school districts
and not affecting high school dis
tricts such as Bloomington. The SUI
preme court in reviewing the Prem
tice case says that the statute does
not provide that school districts may
be changed by means of an election
because no specific authority is
named to call such an election. The
decision calls attention to lack of
clearness in the statute and suggests
that the legislation be made more
plain.
The Prentice decision is ambiguous
to lay mind although it may be
clear enough to lawyers. In any
event Mr. Murphy reiterates that the
decision does not affect tht status OF
his case and that will answer a gem
eral question on the subject.

MUSKRAT ONCE COMMON
NOW EXTINCT IN STATE

w. F. Bickel, naturalist and former
member of the Iowa state conserva-
ton association, says the muskrat,
once common along the Mississippi
and its tributaries is rapidly becom-
ing extinct. Mr.. Bickel recently went
over a stretch Of ten miles along the
river north OF Pra du Chen He
found but one muskrat house.
Up to not many years ago every
slough and. pond along the river was
dotted with muskrat homes. Some
times the ponds were so thick with
them the surface looked like tiny
haycocks. River residents put IN
their winters trapping and it was
nothing uncommon for single trap
per to deliver hundreds of pelts to a
buyer at one time. Rat skins were
cheap then-15c to zoe per hide. Then
prices scared until it took two dollars
to buy a good rat skin. Then the
slaughter began. Since then the rats
were slowly trapped to death.
Recent orders by the Wisconsin
conservation commission aims to pro-
tect the rat. Rat trapping is now for
hidden in number of Wisconsin
counties

ENRAGED PUBLIC CLEANS
ITHACA MORAL MIASMA

The people of this region are noted
for their habit of attending strictly to
their own affa RS, but when necessity
demands hiatt there be action, they
are not slow TO register a vigorous
protest and to use necessary methods
to wipe out sore spots. Not long since
conditions appeared in this communi-
ty which demanded drastic procedure.
Conditions in which were mixed filth
and vermin, immortality and law
breaking and sanitary conditions that
would repel decent swine. Although
the violators were warned, they open
ly Haunted in the faces of our resi-
dents these undesirable, unnecessary
and disgusting conditions. "The
pitcher went to the we'll once too Of
ten," and an outraged public employ
ed the machinery of the law. That
ieper spot was investigated and the
humane officer in conjunction with
the executive authorities, purged that
sore. And others await the same &C
ton if they do not take warning from
what has occurred. AS a rule an out
ragged public are slow to act on such
an affair, but when forbearance ceas-
es to be virtue, because OF the deaf
ears Of viOlatOrs It is trait OF the
American people to act with dispatch
in an emergency case.
Not long since the writer uneXpect-
eddy came across a young lady in
jumpers, pajamas, or whatever one
may call them. The lady in question
was not in the least abashed and why
should she? If that style of garb is
handler for her in tackling the many
duties of household drudgery, then
there is no reason why she should be
ridiculed or laughed at because she
dons that costume for her home work,
or when she takes cross country
hikes She has a sacred right to
choose for comfort and the male sex
that will deride or get sarcastic are
those species who never had a moth
err, nor sister; neither do they ex-
pect to have a wife and daughters of
their own.-Willow Valley Writer.

FARM NOTES.
Prevention Better Than Cure.

Several inquiries have been made
about young apple trees that have
been girdled by rabbits. They want
to know what to do, An expert or
chardist claims that only about 300
of all girdled trees can be saved.
Therefore, prevention is much better
than a cure, as is true in most cases.
Trees should be protected either by
wire, pasteboard or 10y dabbing the
lower portions of the tree with some
thing that is very distasteful to the
rabbits, and at the same time does not
hurt the tree.
If you find that your young trees
have not been girdled thus far it
would be a very wise step to take to
protect them n some way, as from now
until the grass comes out green again
in the spring rabbits have to hunt for
their nourishment and it is often
found in the orchard.
If you wish to help the nurseryman
leave them go on unprotected, but if
you want to save the trees for which
you hae paid all the way from fifty
cents to one dollar and half, one of
the above mentioned projections is a
very good thing to practice.
More I. B. Singers Necessary.
Several counties throughout the
state have practically obtained the
required number OF signatures for the
county wide tuberculin testing. Grant
county has only about one-haf the
number necessary at the present time
and not unless several farmers in
each township feel that they absolute
ly want this test to be made in Grant
county, can this be obtained here.
l believe Grant county farmers do
want this and everybody must take
part, as there is no county agent or
one man able to put time enough to
this to be able to complete the work.
The County Agent is glad to cooper
ate with farmers in each township
and be present at meetings to help
bring about a clearer understanding
OF the work.
Let US keep everlasLingly at this un-
til the goal is reached.
Let US make Grant county free from

around the Hupp display and hear the ques-

of its class was manifest to all.
The New Hupp carries all the worthy,
dependable features that have made this car
a bywOrd for sturdiness and get-yOu-there-
and-back ability. It is also strictly up-tO-
date in design and appearance. Our engi-
neers have labored to combine graceful de-
sign with the utmost staunchness. ThOus-
ands of testimonials from all parts of the
world evidence how well they have done their
work.
We want you to see the New Hupp. Ride
in it. Hear the motor purr as the car glides
up the steep grades. See how easily the
brakes hold and the car is controlled going
down. We won't importune you to buy. The
Hupp sells itself.
