State Scores at Big Show.

If one doubted the reputation
of Wisconsin's great north woods
as a nationwide favorite for the
vacationist, he should have attend
ed the great outdoor exposition
held at the Coliseum at Chicago
last week. Wisconsin resort own
ers and manufacturer were well
represented and carried the show
to a successful close with their
beautiful exhibitions of the north
ern vacation land.
The reputation of courtesy that
all resort owners from Wisconsin
are noted for was well in evidence
and thousands Of new friends were
made for the north woods vaca-
ton land by these happy boosters
of the state. AS one stepped from
the street into the great building
he was seemingly back up north
among the pines. A small lake
was seen in the center of the
building and around the same was
a forest of pine trees. Log cot
tages and coy homes nestled
among the trees, their porches
decorated with mounted specimens
of fish and game from the north
woods. Many live animals and
fish were on exhibition through
out the building
The Wisconsin resort exhibitions
were among the most prominent
and held the largest crowds of

s,rtbor realizing the need for con-
,ar+od action of all forces in Wis
.oosin. so as to revise and recon
stmct the fish, game and other
observation laws Of the state as
~ insure the greatest possible pro-
faction Of those wilderness resour-
10. YOUR committee recommends
as follows:
"Prst. In view Of the fact that
+bo oypense Of conservation in
Wisconsin is met entirely from
monies voluntarily paid for resi-
don't and nonresident licenses and
from other voluntary payments,
and that such expense never falls
10 any extent upon the taxpayers
Of the state as such, we unquali-
fedIy recommend that hereafter
the budget Of the conservation
commissioner include a total of
not less than all such income and
that such budget be accepted by
the legislature We further rec
ommend that such full appropria-
tons be made from year to year
as will secure a continuous pro-
gram to that effect.
Second. We recommend a ma
tenaI increase in the number of
conservation Wardens in Wisconsin
so that all parts Of the state may
be adequately protected.
Third. We recommend that
such wardens receive such addi-
tional compensation and expense
allowance as will attract the serz
vices of thoroughly competent men
to the end that the public will
come to look with greater respect
upon their authority, and to the
end that the conservation commits
amer may draw into service such
skill and special knowledge and
training as he may deem needful
from time to time.
Fourth. We urge the people of
Wisconsin to adopt at the next
genera. election the so-called for
estF amendment to the constitu-
uon OF the state, which will, for
me first time, enable the legisla-
tuTe to secure development of a
sound reforestation program, and
further, that Wisconsin proceed
before 1t is forever too late with
q definite park and wild life re-
Iuge program designed to perpetu-
a'e the best Of our wilderness re-
sources We further believe that

Sheatsley and his two sons, Clarence

cause of the death of the wife and

brought no break in the story OF the
members of the Sheatsley family.
They have accounted absolutely for
their movements between LAS pm,
last Monday afternoon and 3:15 pm,
when Clarence returned and found
his mothers body burning in the fur

But the authorities still are unable
to understand why Clarence, and
later Milton, failed to show concern
over the fact that their mother was
being consumed by a furnace fire.
They are unable to understand why
these boys. after this finding, should
nonchalantly leave the house to play
foot ball. leaving the body on the
blaze. wondering at the same time
how the two boys could give indica-
ton of so little sorrow over the loss
of their mother.
They are in addition at a loss to
explain why the Rev. Sheatsley, after

finding his wife burning, still did
not attempt to put out the fire.

French LOAN OPEN

800, 100000 Offered by

Bought Up Rapidly.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November 24.-Sub-
stantial oversubscription of the $780,
100000 French loan offered today
through a nationwide syndicate head
ed by J. P, Morgan & Co., was an
nounced when the books were closed
Is minutes after the opening.
Admitted to trading on the New

manded a premium of "a to y of a
point above the offering price of "a.
The initial transaction in the issue
was sale of $1,000 block at 941a.
While no exact estimate of the
oversubscription was obtainable the
heavy flow of orders which poured
into the Morgan offices indicated that
allotments would have to be cut ma
terially though perhaps not so dras-
tically as for the recent German loan,
the American share of which was
more than 5 times oversubscribed.
The allotments will be announced
within a day or two.
