Madison, Wis.-When the legis-
lature fails to make an appropria-
ton for an officer during his term
of office, he is entitled to his SAL

be enforced only under the pro-
visions of section 5000, Stats, the
attorney generals Office ruled to-
day to A. E. Frederick, state hui
name officer.
Another ruling held that a per-
son holding temporary permit to
do plumbing is not a licensed
plumber and hence not quaiined to
act as . plumbing inspector.
A false statement foR the pur-
pose of obtaining credit made in
Wisconsin, while the offense is
consummated partly in Chicago,
may be prosecuted in this state,

Dairy Cow Back
On Paying Basis

Germany put the American
dairy COW back on paying basis
in hurry when she came into
low butter market last year and
bought big consignments because
butter was cheap, thus taking a.
way most of the great storage
stocks of butter that had piled up.
New there is a short storage stock
and farmers milking COWS sudden
ly find themselves on a profitable
basis, says the Research Depart
ment of the National Association
of Farm Equipment Manufactur-
ers, which has recently conducted
a survey of the 100000 cows I'M
der test in 1872 official COW testing
associations. The most profitable
herds were those best equipped, as
a rule, it was found. The silo and
feed grinder were used increas-
ingly in cutting feed costs, prac-
tically all herds In the best sec
tons of Wisconsin being silage
fed. In cutting labor costs, the
gas engine, feed and litter carrier
individual drinking cups, water
systems, windmill, tank heaters,
milking machines, ensilage cut
ters and tractors all figure prom
inently One tester from Michigan
stated that he could take blank
barn plan and draw in equipment
that would cut the daIryman's lab
or bill in half. Cows producing
at least pound Of butterfat
day in the Wisconsin Register OF
Production list showed more than
IL silos per herd. Three out OF
have their own ensilage cut
tiers, half of them have ventilation
systems in their stables and more
than three -tourths have steel
stanchions and individual drinking
cups.

their representatives Friday that
should an anthracite shortage de-

alleged to have taken place, testi-
fled that Keesal said that he had
sufficient evidence on D. V. Smith
to send him to the penitentiary for
z years, but for $4,000 he would
drop suit against him.

tigating the Pan-American Lumber
Company, and $500 time lost from
business in investigating the Pan
American Lumber Company.

way clear for a week or month
ahead. The work has gone forward
but its financing can fairly be de-
scribed only as "hand to mouth. !"
Very clearly such a policy is neither
adequate, just, nor economical. Am
erica's duty to the disabled and the
orphans is only equalled by Amer
ica's willingness to fulfill this duty
to the utmost. To that end nothing
can be left to chance.
The Legion is asking this endOw-
ment fund from it's own members
and the American public Jointly.
The Legion asks it confidently in the
knowledge that it will be given, and
that it will be the backbone of the
most important public service con-
fronting the American people today.
Each dollar accepted in this trust
means a vital responsibility to the
Legion, and a permanent commit
ment of the Legion to this service,
and to other unselfish and public
service. The sum total of the abso-
lutely necessary financial endow-
ment which goes with it is un-
limited.
