State Highway Map
Gives Correct Routes

Last week, on advice of Brownie"
motorist editor of the Milwaukee
Journal, we warned against the use
of a, map which we published the
week before, and which was sent to
us by the Wisconsin State Motorists
association.
There appears to be considerable
Misunderstanding and a not altogeth-
er cordial relationship between the
Milwaukee Journal and the Motorists
association, for this week we have re-
ceived letter from the latter organ
ziation defending their map as auth
entic and denouncing the stand taken
by Brownie"
The Motor associations letter is
published in the Journal Mail Box, OF
page 2 of this issue.

Trout Season Law
Is Not Changed

There seems to be considerable
misunderstanding regarding the fish
ing law, and some of our exchanges
are announcing that there will be no
trout fishing allowed until June LIST
this year.
This misunderstanding probably
arises from a too swift perusal OF
Chapter 305, Laws of Wisconsin,
1908, Section Of which says:
Section 2.-(D A closed season is
for all varities of game
fish extending from the first day of
March to the first day of June* ' :
except as otherwise provided in this
Chapter
But paragraph 3 of the same sec
ton otherwise provides" as follows.
"(3)-The open season for trout of
any variety shall be from May first
to August thirty-first. The daily
bag limit shall be twenty-five fish,"

To keep abreast of the times a

Frear's Tax Idea
Given Cold Shoulder

Washington-An effort by the
Progressive-Dem coalition to
write an excess profits tax into the
new tax law was defeated in the house
Saturday. BY a vote of "a to 157
the house rejected Representative
Frear's proposal to tax all profits
under 20 per cent with a 10 per cent
tax and all over 20 per cent with a
so per cent tax.
An exemption from taxation of
profits up to s per cent, plus $4,000,
was allowed
Debate on the amendment brought
from Representative Longworth,
Ohio, Republican leader, the charge
that efforts were on foot to butcher
the Mellon tax BILL"
Mr.. Longworth said the Progress
sives and their Democratic allies,
lacking "the sense of responsibility
that belongs to real majority" were
trying to amend the Mellon plan out
of assistance.
The Frear proposal, Mr.. Longworth
said, was just like others which two
Democratic secretaries of the treas
ury, Glass and McAdoo, opposed after
the war.
Speaking against the Frear amend
ment, Representative Halves, Demo
crat, Missouri, referred to the ''leader-
ship of Wisconsin in the offering of
provisions to the tax bill, looking to
heavier burdens on the taxpayers"
"Today again Wisconsin leads" he
said. "This is Wisconsin PROPOSE
ton and the men who are for it on
the Democratic side are following the
lead of Wisconsin and the Republi-
cans who vote for it are following the
gentleman from Wisconsin, and Meth
.er side is in favor Of it."

An unusual example of cooperative
enterprise is the River Falls Coopera-
tive Laundry Co., River Falls, Wis,
organized in March of 1914 in connec-
ton with the farmers cooperative
creamery at that point to serve both
town and country families. The MEM
bership in 1928 was 255 of which
number from one-fourth to one-third
were farmers. Six per cent interest
is paid on capital stock and prices are
said to be kept as low as can be to be
commensurate with good work.
This laundry enjoys the distinction
of holding prize of $500 offered in
1914 by the dean of the Wisconsin
College of Agriculture for the first
farmers cooperative laundry which
should operate successfully for one
year. Another laundry at Midtown,
Wis, also established in 1914, COM
peted for the prize. Both companies
operated successfully for more than
the required year but the board OF
award withheld the prize until time
should show that they were establish
ed on firm financial basis. The
Midtown laundry failed after three
years and the prize went to the River
Falls Laundry Co.
The only other farmers cooperative
laundry in the United States which
has been successful for a term of
years and has reported to the Depart
ment of Agriculture, is the Chatfield
Cooperative Laundry, Chatfield,
Mimi, established in 1912 by the
Chatfeld Creamery Company and OPP
Grated in conjunction with the same.
Concerning this laundry the secretary
writes under date Of January 2, 1924,
"The cooperative laundry is still pop
ular but it is harder to pay Spenses
at our present prices on account Of the
cost of supplies and labor. Last
month 88 farmers sent their wash
ings at an average cost of 81 par pat

Senior Class Play

We aren't telling you to come, be-
cause we know that you are already
planning to do that. This is merely
to give you a slight intimationf OF
what to expect when you do get there,
To begin with, the wisest policy
would be to bring your umbrellas.
You might otherwise get rained on.
Those who spend time reading endless
books and articles on the art of love-
making will have that time at least
to apply to studies after seeing this
play; for we have two well coached
and experienced young people to
demonstrate to you that the best and
surest way. SO much for that.
Those who are interested in char
acter Interpretation will surely be
pleased with the excellent work which
Miss Schlosser has done in coaching
the cast. This little three1act comedy
depends great deal on atmosphere
and Characterization for its success.
The minor characters as well as the
leading ones are all given an oppor-
tunity to display their ability along
this line.
The play, although not new one,
still has fifty dollar royalty, which
proves that it is a grand one. Those
chosen to represent the senior class in
this little comedy are:

alum is good for ingrown nails" con-
soled the wife. "The instructions read
to apply a formation of soap and
water for "a hours beforehand, and
then pour the alum into the space be-
tween the nail and its bed.
"This should be tamped with cot
ton to keep the alum in place, and
the application should be repeated
daily.
"Sharp or rough edges of the nail
should be removed. Sometimes the
edges of the nail can be raised and
held away from the flesh by small

"Of course, if there is much sore

SKILL.

Christopher Hull, an Englishman,
claims worlds record by laying 800
bricks an hour. Five hundred a day
is considered fair speed. The electric
brick-laying machine puts even Hull
in the shade. 1t lays 1900 bricks an
hour, doing the work of 20 masons.
This electric machine comes after
5000 years in which bricks were laid
by hand. A machine now displaces
human. skill and, it is claimed, even
does better job.
Human effort eventually may be
confined chiefly to manufacturing ma
chinery and operating it, even in ag-
riculture.
