French Find Way
to Beat Taxes

Paris.-A law was passed in France
recently making the legal adoption of
children relatively easy of accom-
plishment, and the new measure is
resulting in loss of revenue to the
government.
Inheritance taxes in France are
heavy. On fortune of 100000
francs a nephew who inherits must
ay 100000 francs to the state, q
granddaughter 441,000 francs, an I'M
related inheritor $4,000 francs, but
a child pays only $4,000 francs.
Adopted children rank as real chill
dren, so it has become the habit for
testators to adopt distant relatives
and friends to whom they desire to
leave money.

SEE DISAPPOINTMENT
in CABBAGE SEASON
Bright Pospccts Earlier In the Year
and Not Being Realized At
This Time.

Msdison.--Although 1t started out
with good prospects, the cabbage sea
SON in Wisconsin has been somewhat
of q disappointment thus far, de-
eiares q report on conditions today by
the state department Of markets. The
crop will be considerably less than last
year although there is an increased
acreage, it is said.
"This was due to the unfavorable
weather conditions which cut down the
yield considerably" the summary
states. 1.-THE crop in the Racine
Kenosha county section, which is the
largest producing section in the state,
is estimated at about sixty per cent,
and shipments will be greatly reduced.
Up to the middle of this month, there
had been shipped only one-third Of the
number of cars that were shipped up
to the same time last year.
1.-THE market has been somewhat un-
settled, largely on account Of the In
huence of the New York market" 1t
is stated. wisconsin Is the second
largest producer of cabbage and as
the leading state, New York, has a very
much larger crop this year, the Wis
eonsin market has been based largely
upon New York prices. At the opening
Of the season, the price of Wisconsin
stock was good, but as the New York
shipments became heavy. the price
was forced down and at the present
time the market is weak with farmers
being paid So to $40 per ton for U. $.
No. stock.
1.-THE kraut factories are busy with
this years cutting. Most Of the early
cabbage Is used in this way. The late
cabbage has not begun to move into
storage yet on account Of the warm
weather Much Of the stock has not
been harvested, and colder weather
will be needed to increase activity in
the cutting and storing of the late
crop. The quality is very good this
year and the stock does not run to
oversize heads as much as it did last
year."

impressed and inspired by the way

This work never rests and 1t is a

which illustrated why in peace

the foremost reasons why every

Economic Survey of
! Wisconsin Resources

Madison.-An economic land survey
which will include an inventory of
natural resources, data on soils and
waterpower, will probably be asked of
the next state legislature when it con-
venes here in january, 1t was learned
today from the state conservation and
agricultural officials.
The proposal is an outgrowth of the
annual Tri-State Development congress
which was held at Ashland last week
The congress emphasized in resolu-
tions and discussions the necessity for
an inventory of natural resources in
the three states-Wisconsin, Michigan
and Minnesota-included in the organ
ization.
Such survey is now in progress in
Michigan under direction of the con-
servation department, according to j.
d. Jones, Jr., state commissioner of
agriculture. Mr.. Jones and members
of the state conservation commission
are in sympathy with the proposal and
are expected to back the movement to
obtain such survey in Wisconsin be-
fore the legislature.
The REPRESENTATION program advocat-
ed in Wisconsin through the adoption
of the forest constitutional amendment
also was approved by the development
congress, similar amendment to be
voted on in Minnesota was advocated
also.
Plans were made by the congress to
further the development of the st.
Lawrence seaway, it is, said. Efforts
will be made to combat steps planned
by the state Of New York to deepen
the Hudson river and Erie canal, ac-
cording to officials.
Iron Mountain, Mich, was voted the

Frank Nelson, Phillip Nelson and
Floyd Nelson were named as CO.

PENDANTS in the action. 1t was amend
ed to name Frank Nelson, Phillip
Nelson and Florence Nelson as the de-
PENDANTS as the answer of the defense
stated that these were the proper
defendants.
The suit was brought by the Stropes
as the result Of an accident that hap
pened New Years eve last when Mrs.
Strope was struck by q cab and in
iured. There were two damage suits,
one asking for $4,000 brought by Mrs.
Strope for the injuries received by
her, and the other asking for $1,000,
brought by Harry StrOpe for the loss
of his wife's compionship and house
WifeIy activities during the period OF
her iliness. The trial in circuit court
covered both suits.
- Charged Negligence.
I The Stropes, plaintiffs in the COM
bined action for damages, commended
that the driver of the cab was respon-
sible for the accident. Mrs. Strope was
crossing Rowland avenue at the inter
section of Pearl street about 1880
a. m. January /, 1924. The cab was
going south on Rowland avenue, tRav-
cling, the complaint alleged at excess
sive speed and without proper lights.
There was no testimony given show
inR that the car was going at excess
siVe speed. 1t was shown that 1t was
cold and stormy night. The driver
Of the cab, Charles Fox, testified that
he was going at rate of about fifteen
miles an hour, and there was no tes-
timony to contradict this statement.
Mrs. Strope was unable to say how
fast the cab was going; Motorcycle
Officer Chase testified that he didn't
know exactly the speed of the cab, but
IL did not appear to be speeding.
other testimony showed that the
head lights were turned on fully.
No Negligence on Drivers Part.
It was shown that due to the storm,
Mrs. Strope was crossing the street in
q hurry and walking diagonal;y across,
not at right angles, at street where
there is jog, at the corner OF How
land avenue and Pearl street.
Judge Belden in directing verict
for the defendant company held that
he failed to find negligence Of any kind
on the part Of the driver of the cab,
and aaid that he was not responsible
for the accident.
