Arbutus Time.

Wisconsin, especially this. sec
ton of the state, is indeed bless
ed with a wondrous flower-the
trailing Arbutus. The first flower
to bloom as the snow leaves this
northland, it perfumes the air and
makes out of dreary region a
favored land. This flower will
blossom for the next two weeks
and in that time will fill many a
home with fragrance and cheer.
It readily finds a sale and many
are the Arbutus parties made up
during the spare moments. Men
women and children drive or hike
some distance away and fill their
baskets. During the Outdoor show
at Chicago next week, Arbutus
from Northern Wisconsin will be
given away by the basket. Last
year there were nearly hundred
baskets of this flower shipped to
the Outdoor Show.

A BIG OUTDOOR SHOW
All Resort Men and Business
Men Plan on Monster Ex-
hibit at Chicago.

Next week, all week, the Nor
thern Wisconsin Lake Region" will
hold forth at the National Out
door Show at the Coliseum in
Chicago. This will be one great
big exhibit of what the northland
lake region contains in recreative
outdoor life, and will show the
city man or woman what they are
missing by not spending summer
vacation in Wisconsin's mammoth
lake region.
By the banding together of
Minocqua, Sayner, Flambeau, Ar
Dor Vitae, Pelican Lake, Woodruff,
Three Lakes, Eagle River, Conover,
Phelps and State Line, a monster
exhibit is being put in readiness
for the opening of the show at
Chicago beginning Monday and
lasting. until Saturday night of
next week.
The Northwestern and ST. Paul
roads have been shipping carloads
of material and exhibit stuff to the
Coliseum all this week. The show
ing of wild life will be greater
than any exhibit ever shown.
There will be a half dozen of
live Muskellunge, dozen large
Walleye Pike and some twenty
Bass shown in these booths in
tanks. Besides this the Jones' will
be there with their two baby bear
cubs and several other animals
from the forests. State Line ship
ped down buck deer broken to
harness, and this will be driven
around the city during the show.
Dryz will send Silver Black Foxes,
Coyotes and Red Foxes to the
show. Three Lakes have several
animals, likewise Phelps and Peli-
can Lake which will be on exhi-
bition. Besides all this there will
be a multitude of mounted speci-
mems showing the life in the lakes
and woods of this lake region.
1t is estimated that from this
section there will be several hun
dred interested boosters who will
assist in the booths during the
show. Quite a number have al
ready driven overland to Chicago
today in order to have the twelve
booths, covering a floor space of
2Ox72 feet, properly decorated for
the opening day Monday.
While there will be hundreds of
sections exhibiting at the show,
endeavoring to win their share of
publicity in outdoor activities and
recreation, still it is claimed that
the showing to be made by this
section of the lake region will
dominate the whole show. While
some of the other exhibitors will
be lavish in display, the lake re-
gion fellows believe that they have

A Tribute 60 Eagle River

On the sylvan shores of the "Land O. Lakes"
Where the foam ecked the sand beach breaks
Where the Whip oorwi calls from her native PINE
10 her rowing mate in the even time;
Where the silvery moonb beams glisten and PALE
On the rampikes tall in the tamrack swail:
And the red doe leads from the sweet fern brake
Her spotted faWn to the clear cool lake
In the pure white sheen of the mornings fog
Rises the incense offering to Natures God
And the soul of man grows big and Free
Far from the worlds cold jealousy.
Here the lover of nature builds his home
Where one is for all, and all for one;
Near the heart of Nature, wonderous plain
In the beautiful Land Nv Beginning Again

taught the value of oats and other grains and forages as a fat producer says Superintendent Lopp. Those in ca ptivity have been taught to mix a little rolled oats with their moss,. but demand the moss as a roughage. and prefer it to other feeds He thinks it may be possible, by star.lng with very young animals, L. scb them to eat the same food as horse or COW. In fact he knows of several instances where orphaned lawns have learned to eat everything on mans table but meat. An experiment. was tried with a matured animal by starving it of moss and tempting it with rolled oats. It ate some of the oats and then went on strike.

Supt. Lopp Discusses
 Habits of Reindeer

Danger of inbreeding causing Alas kan reindeer herds to deteriorate caused DO fear among herd owners, says William T. Lopp superintendent of Alaska schools, medical and rein deer services, Interior Department.
 Mir. Lopp points to herd of caribou known to have remained practically in one section for many years, and which is considered one of the best in Alaska so far as physical types are concerned. These animals range west of the Kus- kok kwim and have been the subject of study by the Biological Survey.
 ''The reindeer, like the caribou, eX- ercise the choice of selection in mating and are more or less composed of groups" says Superintendent Lopp. Those groups exchange mates, and at no time do the members of the same family mate.
 ''The color of the reindeer, where it deviates from the solid grey, is not the result of inbreeding, as is supposed, but is tricRTof the Siberians, who many generations ago introduced color into the herd; hence you often encoun- ter the pure white and the pinto reindeer.
 "The reindeer is one of the most pro. life of domesticated animals" contin- ued MT. Lopp. "A lawn Of May will itself fswn the following year, instead of. like many animals of the herbVor- ous species, await maturity of three years. For this reason a man owning a herd may count upon rapid in- crease. These young mothers make up about equally the losses from natural causes among the older animals" "

Electricity Instead of
 Clubbing to Kill Cattle

Omaha.-Klling cattle by electricity is to be started here soon by the Cud- ahy Paekin Company, to replace the present system of clubbing the animals over the head, according to this after noon's Evening Bee.
 Thomas J. Byrnes, Of the Cudahy company, has worked for seven years to perfect the invention, the article saws, and, although the experiments have been kept secret, several hundred head of cattle weresuccessfully slaugh- tered recently. The plan is expected to greatly reduce oRsrating costs.
 The national humane society. which recently offered large cash prize for more humane methods of killing cattle, is expected to approve this inveEtion, the Bee says.

WERNER DEFENDING
 NEW PRIMARY LAW
Says Question Of Paying For
 Election Not Issue

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Jan. 22.-In the sense that is meant by the Alabama state constitution. there is no primary election" in the act of the last session of the legislature which gives native sons the right. under certain conditions, to name their own delegates to the na- tional convention, says C. B. Werner of this city. in defense of his own bill which has been declared unconsti- tutional by Attorney General Davis. Furthermore. the act does not provide a method of nominating candidates in Il primary, but is method of select ing delegates, and of naming delegates, says Representative Werner. but it is a final selection of the delegates
 The fact that the act denominates this as a primary election law does not make it such. Section 190 of the con stitutiOn must be construed in the light of conditions under which it was writ ten; and if can be given this construc- tion without doing violence to reason and without destroying the act ap- proved September 13, 1923.
 Mir. Werner adds that an election should be held. and that he believes the court will hold it valid The ques- tion of paying for holding the election is not vital to the issue. he says. There is nothing in the law requiring any po- litical party to adopt this method of selecting delegates to the national con vention. he cites in arguing that the law does not provide a compulsory primary election in violation of the state con stitution.

BANK CONFERENCE
 AT CHICAGO ENDS
No Announcement Made Of Re- lief Measures To Be Taken

CHICAGO, Jan. 22-(By Asso- ciated Press .)-The conference between financial representatives of the govern ment and bankers and business leaders of the northwest looking towards re- lief for banks of that section, ended here here late today without any public announcement of the progress made.
 Henry M. Dawes, comptroller of the currency, one of the four representa- tiyes sent west by President Coolidge, said: "Any announcement in connec- tion with the visit of government off ciais here must come from Washing ton"
 An almost steady stream of Chicago bankers passed before the conference today.
 President Coolidge had announced this morning that the federal govern ment would do everything in it's power to relieve the stringent credit situation Tn the northwest but added that he felt the government should not be expected to cure incurable ills or replace losses already made.
 Since the opening of the conference yesterday, four banks in the northwest district have either closed their doors or announced intentions of doing so. The International state bank of Sioux Falls, s. D., and the Western National bank of Mitchell, s. D., closed their doors yesterday and today the Security State bank of tHavre, Mont, decided not to open because of steady with drawals and the Stockman,s National bank of Fort Bento.., Mont, decided to go into voluntary liquidation.
