SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS
INSTAIJ,MENTS


La Toilette is defeated for fourth
term in Congress in 1890 when Wisconsin
goes heavily Democratic. Retiring to
private law practice he begins an unend-
ing fight against the political machine
that dominates his State. He Is twice
defeated as Progressive candidate Tor GOV
ernor when the bosses buy on ms oele-
gates at the State conventions. IL APP
pears that he will be nominated ana elect
ed in his third race for Governor In 1900,
however. By pushing railroad regnIa-
ton and securing Il taxation law. La FOL
letts begins to fear that the railroads Will
pass on their increased taxes simply by
raising their rates.
If we centered on railroad taxation
alone. of course we should have with
US, quietly if not openly, all the big
shippers and manufacturers who
knew perfectly well that railroad
taxes should be increased and that
such increases would tend to reduce
the proportion which they had to
pay.
I therefore took time from the
campaign and arranged a meeting
with Hall at Haugen's home in
River Falls. 1 presented the case
strongly to him, urging him not to
offer his resolution calling for rail-
road regulation at the convention.
l did not want the convention to
go on record against a thing we
were all in favor of. We were the
best of friends. He was a constant
visitor in our home and every mem
Der of the family loved him.
Finally, he promised to withhold
his resolution. and I believe we made
better progress in the long run by
building our structure Of reform step
by step. I have always felt that the
political reformer, like the engineer
or the architect, must know that his
foundations are right. To build the
superstructure in advance of that is
likely to be disastrous to the whole
thing. He must not put the roof on
before he gets the UNDERMINING in.
And the underpinning Is education
of the people.

SOME HINTS TO SPORTSMEN Rubbing Wet Match In Hair Will Dry
 It In Short Time

When match gets wet and the head is not so soft that it drops off, there is still chance to save it. Rubbing it lightly through the hair will dry it in an amazingly short time. Matches can be waterproofed by dipping the heads in paraffin or varnisl, says The Sportsman's Digest
 Much is heard about using the north star as compass when no other means are available, yet few know exactly where it is located The north star is located in line with the two stars form ing the outer side of the ''dipper.'
 Equal parts of tallow, fish oil and lamp black mixed with little resin, melted and applied hot, is an excellent waterproofing mixture for boots and shoes.

BATHS. HOT AND COLD
 Both Are Beneficial From "A Health StantlDoint Writer Says

Civilized mankind may be divided into two classes-into the takers of hot baths and the takers of cold baths and each class looks pityingly upon the other. It is a great mistake to take only hot baths or to take only cold baths. By wisely using both the hot and the cold bath we can greatly i'm prove our health and strength. Writes B. E. ill the Continental Edition of the London Mail
 The cold bath is an excellent tonic to those who take it wisely. It hardens them against colds. Besides, its in- valuable to the constipated and is rec commended in the leading textbooks.
 Cold baths do harm if they leave the body chilled. A short cold bath should be followed by vigorous rubbing with q hard linen towel and a massage of the body, which gives to the skin a warm glow. While cold baths are or dered by physicians in case of constipa- tion, hot baths are used as a specific

iof them will falleby the wayside during the year. x. ..i. 'S7s Some of the large producers believe that some day there will only be dozen or 50 companies making passen- ger cars. Howover, they arrived at such a conclusion. I believe it is utterly wrong--or perhaps had better say just a guess. The automobile business is to me like the clothing business or the contracting business, or anything where individual taste comes in. There is no more chance of the industry being compbsed of a few makers as there is of all the houses being built by few concerns. A>
 The automobile industry gives em. 'ployment to more people directly and indirectly, than any other industry we have. Ford alone employs about 130.- GOO people just to make the cars. Add to that the numbers in the sales and service end. Just few additional fig ures will show. the influence the auto mobile industry has on employment Buick employs around 25,OO0, Overland about 16.000, Studebaker about 10000 and so on.

APPLE WAGON IS ]
 IN BIRMINGHAM.
Hood River Growers Send Ex- hibition Truck Filled With
 Apples

It's a long way from Hood River, Oregon, to Birmingham, but the famous apple valley of the Cascade Mountains was brought nearer to residents of this section on February Il, when the de- corated exposition truck sent out by the Apple Growers association of Hood River, arrived in town and quickly became the center of interest This exhibition truck, which contains sam ples of the different varieties of ap- ples grown in Hood River Valley, was sent out by the cooperative growers of that section in order that the peo- pie of the various communities might lively remote section is doing to make world where the apple is recognized at it's true value. So well known has the Hood River Newton Pippin be- come that last year there were many inquiries from Europe for gratis, some of which are now introducing a new variety on older trees in European or chards. When numerous tourists wis., ited Hood River this past summer and saw the orchards, they expressed surprise that Hood River apples were not better known in Birmingham and it is to remedy this that the Apple Growers association has dispatched the apple caravan to all sections of the United States. where this Oregon pro- duct is not already known and eaten.
 These delicious apples are grown in one of the most picturesque valleys of the world. To the south of its 20 mile long valley towers Mt. Hood, the giant of the Cascade Mountains. and it is from the eternal SHOWS and glaciers of this Mountain which is God" that the waters flow which irrigate the entire valley. To the north, the great Columbia River forms the border of the valley, which nestles in the mOun- tains. Since the building of the Colum- bia River Highway, Hood River val ley is becoming as well known for its beautiful scenery as for it's marvellous apples.
 The growers of these apples number among their midst people from every state in the Union, who, attracted by its beauty, are now resident orchardists. The Apple Growers association is the largest cooperative farmers organiza- tion in the entire northwest and is the parent of all other similar organ nations. Its experts planned the pack which is now followed in the boxed apple region.
 In addition to the Newton Pippin, Hood River grows Spitzenberg, Ark ansas Blacks, Ortley, Winter Bananas and several other varieties of apples and annually ships over two and a half million boxes. Pears are also annually being shipped in largest proportions and include D'Anjou, Winter Nelis, Bose and Bartletts.
 There is more than rhyme in An Apple Day Will Keep the Doctor Away" for Hood River Valley has the reputation of being one of the healthiest spots in the northwest. But that is what might be expected of any section that could grow apples such as those exhibited in our city by the Apple Growers association of Hood River.

The automobiles of today that the average man hears about are but few of the great many makes produced in this country. The United States has four-ffths of the 17,O0O,O 900 cars in the world. At one time there were nearly 900 manufacturers of passenger cars. That was back in 1911. when the auto mobile business was just getting under way Today there are about eighty ac- tive companies and out of this number four or five groups produce over 50 per cent of the cars. Ford alone makes nearly half the cars every year i; General Motors is the next larger group, making Chevrolet, OldsmObile. Cadillac, Oakland and Buick Then there is the Durant group. making the Star, Flint, Princeton, Locomobile, Durant Tour and the Eagle. There are such large pro ducers as Dodge. Hupmobile. Maxwell Chalmers. Willys Overland, etc.
 After one gets through listing the production of the large manufacturers there seems to be little production left for the seventy or so passenger car makers whose production we consider low. But production is not everything. Some of our best cars are made in small numbers. It is true of nearly every high-priced car that it is made in very limited quantity and naturally drop each year in number of passenger car makers so that in 1916 there were only little over 100. Then for few years, there was slight rise, due to the fact that it was easy to start in the automobile business. and again, af- ter the war, money was freely used in promotion schemes to get new compa- nies started. In 1919 there were about 95 companies, in 1920 it rose to 110, in 1921 there were about 160 makers, in 1922 there were about 175, last year there were about 120 and now there are about so, and it looks as though some for the opposite complaint. especially for collie.

ABYSSINIAN LAW HARSH Eye For Eye And Tooth For Tooth
 Code RigidlN Enforced

Abyssinian law is based literally on the old Mosaic rule of ''an eye for an eye and q tooth for tooth.'' Its writ ten code is called "The Law of Fatha Nagaset," and is that of the ancient Coptic church. But custom, too, plays q large part. At is the rule that he who kills must be delivered over to the family of the man he slew to be put to death by them. Not even the empress or the regent has the power of pardon. Writes Marian c. Cooper in Asia magazine.
 It is recounted that in the late em- peror Menelik's reign man who was high up in tree cutting off limb fell and, landing squarly on a peasant, asleep below, killed. him. It was with out doubt an accident. but the dead mans brothers appeared before the em- perOr, who alone could proclaim the death sentence and demanded the life of the hapless woodsman.
 Our brother is dead!' they cried. Let his slayer die.'
 But, my children" replied the wise old, ruler, surely the man never in- tended to fall on your brother. Accept, l advise you, the money that this man offers and go your way in peace"
 No" the brothers responded "a life for life. That is the law"
 Then the emperor reflected for a mo- ment and his face grew stern. ''It is well,' he said. 'Such, in truth. is the law, and the law must be obeyed." He turned to the captain of his guard. Take the prisoner and place him under the tallest tree you can find. Then have these two brothers who demand his life carried Ii the topmost branches of that tree. and from there throw. them down upon the prisoner, as many times us are necessary, until the prisoner is killed"
 Upon hearing this sentence the broth- CTS cast themselves at the feet of the emperor and announced their willing ness to accept the blood money.
 No" said Menelik. You asked for this mans death. That is the law But the law says you must kill him in the manner in which he killed your brother. Take his >death-or nothing"
 The brothers took nothing.
 But ill cases of direct murder the families of the victims take the killers down beside the railroad station and there publicly stab or shoot them to death.
 There is also a rigidly enforced law against brigands and robbers, which has made almost true the boast that 'a child might leave Addis-Ababa, the capital. with COW, and lead her to the border of the empire without molestation.'
