County Fairs in State.

On June 18th the officers of the
State Association of Fairs viii
meet with the Secretary of State
to work out a new scheme for
handling the state aid, which has
grown from $4,000 in 1910 to
10000 in 1928.
An effort will be made to revise
the system in way to effect a
substantial saving to the state.
The officers of the association
have expressed their willingness
to cooperate in unifying and sim
.plifying the methods adopted long
ago and now outgrown.
They viii also discuss the sub
ject of side shows and games Of
,chance. These have been severely
criticised in late years and many
patrons Of fairs complain that the
statutes have been violated in
many respects. Secretary, Zim-
norman will suggest that every
effort be made to make the fairs
what the law contemplates they
should be: mainly exhibits of agri-
cultural and other products, which
show the progress of the state,
setting, examples for those who
wish to profit by them.
There can be no objection to
clean side shows, but the cheap
shows which characterize street
fairs and other questionable amuse-
ments should find no place in an
institution that is largely sup
ported by public funds. Educa-
tional moving pictures are always
popular, especially those which de
pict industries, nature and wild
life.
The state and county fairs have
cost the taxpayers very large sums
of money and unless the people
are assured that they are worth
while and desirable, we may look
for serious complaints. Wisconsin
occupies a position in industry, ag-
riculture, and manufacturing OF
which the people are justly proud
1t produces ample material for IN
excelled exhibits, which if proper
ly managed should and will attract
the public without resorting tc
questionable amusements.

For Longer Vacation.

Attorneys Of the sixteenth ju-
dicial circuit have joined in urg-
ing judge "A. II. Reid to extend
the period Of his contempl ated va
cation this wear 50 that he may
have q real rest from bis arduous
duties ia the circuit the first he
has had for some years.
Frank ?. Regner, on behalf of
the Marathon County Bar associa-
ton at the opening of court Mon
day, stated, .The bar hears with
pleasure that the court is to take
vacation during the summer
The members feel that the court
has worked 50 faithfully and for
so prolonged a period that you,
Judge Reid, are entitled to a long
vacation, and the attorneys want
you to know that they want you
to take a proper vacation and that
they will arrange their affairs so
that you can take a longer vaca-
ton than is now contemplated.
The same sentiment has been
expressed in all parts Of the SIX
teenth circuit, and Rhinelander at
torneys have written personal let
tiers to Judge Reid urging him to
extend his vacation
According to Judge Reid pres
ent plan he and Mrs. Reid will
leave Wausau on July on their
way to Glasgow, Scotland, where
they will visit relatives. The
Judge will also attend the sessions
Of the British Bar association in
London and later, in company
with Mrs. Janet Reid Thompson,
he and Mrs. Reid will tour Europe.
Their original plans were to re-
turn in September, but their vaca-
tion may now be extended.
Judge Reid is one of the best
liked circuit judges, in Wisconsin
and he is often called upon to
help in other circuits than his
own. At the same time the work
in the sixteenth circuit has grown
so greatly that the position is be-
coming an arduous one. 1t is safe
to say that the work of the court
has increased more than fifty per
cent in the past ten years Wau-
sau Pilot.

Quality Affects Price.

There has been slump in the
price of butter fat recently. The
slump has not been great enough
to be alarming and it is believed
to be due to causes which are i'm
aginary rather than real. But one
thing should impress itself on peo-
pie engaged in the dairy industry,
is that the first quality products
have weakened very little. 1t is
only the second and third rate
quality of butter and cheese which
have been most affected.
Here and there, we hear some
one say that the slump is due to
over-production, that too many
people are being encouraged to 90
into the dairy business. The fact
is that the increase in the number
of cows in this country in recent
years has not kept pace with the
increase in population. While the
increase per capita in consumption
OF dairy products has nearly
doubled in the past five years due
to the advertising given dairy pro
ducts as a health food still the
American people do not consume
one-fourth the amount of dairy
products consumed by the reople
of England, Germany, and the
Scandinavian countries. Stanley

JUST FISH STORIES

The fist day Of the 1924 fishing
season for pike, muskellunge and
other kindred specimens of the fish
family except bass Of any descrip-
ton, opened rather off color for
the guy with the brand new fish
ing outfit and plenty Of pep. Due
to the GOODNESS Of the waters the
blame for the fish laying off from
the lure is given to the weather.
Old timers, who claim they have
the know-how of any and every
thing pertaining to fish in these
northern waters, swear by all they
possess that fishing will be poor
for a few days yet. If that is
true, then how can you account
for a few of the sporty cusses
rushing after the lure and losing
their meal ticket. Quite a num-
Der Of muskelIunge came to gaff
last Sunday, the first day, and the
question is why did they do it,"
Anyhow John Love brought in
the first musky Of the season
that is Johns party from the E.
w. Perkins home on Yellow Birch
landed 1914 pound fish out Of
that lake and he was a scrapper
even if he was cold and had no
wool undies ON. Coming from Vel
low Birch, that puts us in mind
Of fellow who used to state that
Yellow Birch was depleted of fish
on account of the native citizens of
Eagle River fishing it to death in
the winter time. Claimed h t
from forty to a hundred guys with
a dozen or so lines would go each
and every day up Yellow Birch
way, build fire, set their lines
bait the hooks-and yank out q
tub of game fish at each setting
Couldn't convince this chap that
such was not the case, but that
instead of landing home of an ev-
ening with a sweat up and a bag
of prime fish, the guy usually was
frozen stiff, hungry and not a darn
fish in his bag. Then the GOOD
wife after giving him a shower OF
conversation equal to that of Min
Gump when Andy was seen talk
ing with Babe, would Of necessity
place the frying pan on the fire
and hash up some warmed-ovel
spuds and a slab of bacon. Still
after all this, you will notice that
Yellow Birch is right there wher
you want some really good fish
for the pan any day in the season

Dor government, is not member Of
the Labor party that elected him, but
Of the Independent Labor party, an
integral unit of the all-inclusive Brit
ish Labor party. Some of the timid,
if not designing delegates, are also
trying to raise the bugaboo Of the
Moscow dictatorship so-called over
the American Workers party, an at
tack aping that made by Gompers
and LaFollette.
Socialist Makes Attack.
The spokesman of this tendency
seems to be Walter Thomas Mills, au-
thor of THE Struggle for Existence"
at one time a prominent member of
the Socialist party. He still claims
to be a member of the Socialist party,
but came to st. Paul as the delegate
of the California Non-partisan League,
charged with being a paper organiza-
ton.
He stated that he and his fellow
delegates were given the power to
decide among themselves whether
they would sit in the convention. But
Mills was not slow in making his
views known. His idea Of a Farmer
Labor party was one utterly disasso-
ciated with any faint of information
alism. He offered no solution Of the
problem that would arise If the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, affiliated
with the World Mining Congress, con
trolled by the miners unions Of Eu-
rope, applied for affSliation with the
Farmer-Labor party. This problem is
expected to come before the conven-
ton on Wednesday.
Questions Of Nominations.
The other important committee is
that on nominations. Whatever the
developments, it is certain that Sena'
tor LaFollette will be given an oppor'
tunity to state his views on the ques'
ton of this convention making him
its nominee as candidate for presi
dent

the delegates broke into a new demon
stration. Numerous greetings were
received from workers and farmers
organizations demanding class

Mahoney then proceeded to the ac-
complishments of the Minnesota Farm
er-Labor party. I'VE destroyed the
Democratic party in Minnesota; we
destroyed the Republican party and
out Of these elements we built the

Turnout the Nation.
Then he continued: "That is what
we want to do thruout the whole ma
ton"
The delegates leaped to their feet
and cheered several minutes. New
cheers greeted the announcement that
all elements had come to the conven'
ton.
No cIaps for Bob.
The great convention broke into a
demonstration when Chairman Ma
honey declared that when the work
ers and farmers realize their power
they can make any change they de-
sire" New applause greeted his dec
laration that the ruling class dictator
ships of Hungary, Italy and other
countries did not care for constitu
tional limitations. First mention Of
the name Of LaFollette did not bring
single handicap as Mahoney hest
tated a moment for applause. But
the declaration that the farmer-labol
forces would sweep Minnesota at the
fall elections brot a new outburst.

Movement Gaining Ground.

Mountain Movement Gaining Ground.
East of the coast the movement is
new, but gaining ground rapidly. In
Idaho part of the party is tied to the
apron strings of 1.-THE Committee Of
49," and some elements support SEN
ator Borah.
w. II. Green, chairman Of the Pro-
gressive party of Nebraska, was not
so cheerful over the outlook in his
state. Machine tactics on the part of
the Democratic party had split the
progressive movement. However, if
the convention here forms strong
national party, the Nebraska Progress
sive party will reorganize on strong
basis.
Green Likes Daily Worker.
Green paid high tribute of praise
to the DAILY WORKER. While some
workers and farmers, dominated by
the Ku Klux Khan, would no sooner
pick up a DAILY WORKER than a
rattlesnake, it is read and enthusiasts
tically received by an ever increasing
number. And the fact that the Koo
Koos are as afraid Of the paper as Of
rattlesnake is also a compliment

Assistant Attorney General Sey-
mour, who acted for Daugherty when
the Ohio crook was away, was chief

showed that the charges had misrep-
