A DAY EY DAY By Betty Cass FOR sour timeframes R. Gar-ver ha linen' remodelling the old sugar beet factory into a factory to produce prepared food for cattle.

All the latest equipment, and machinery obtainable for the efficient production of this commodity was installed, and, finally, last week, all wa in readiness to begin operation everything in place, everything in e-rder, waiting merely for Mr. Garver to press the button which would put the machinery in operation. For ii i solemn ceremony, Mr. Garver invited a number of snets members the university Agriculture school staff, and townsmen, to be present. They all gathered there one afternoon last week, and waited for Garver to press the but 'on.

Mr. Carve? pressed the. button. The factory hands poured creat sack of grain into the'hop-per (or whatever they call the "thing). They poured in the molasses.

And they poured in whatever else- goes into prepared cattle food. Then they waited. N.ew. emnty sacks, held open at the months of the feed pipes, to receive the' nfixed food, waited also. And nothing happened.

waited some more. -shifting from one foot to another and wondering just how long it takes a machine to prepare prepared cattle food. The machinery ground on and on. The men poured more grain more molasses more everything "else into the hopper. But the sacks were as empty as before.

And then Mr. Garver Mr. Garver who is always on time who is always efficient and thorough and under whose guiding hand things move smoothly and properly began to fidget. Something was wrong, surely. He investigated.

The woi'kmen investigated. Everybody investigated everything. "Where, oh where, was all that grain and molasses and whatnot disappearing to? It wasn't in the hopper. It wasn't in the machine. It wasn't in theeel-lar or on the factory floors.

Was the man producing magic- instead of cattle food could he make things vanish into thin air? Finally, having searched the whole factory from top to bottom, they went onto- the roof, 'h only place left, and there, t'lmbling pell-mell from the ejcit of t'rp ventilator, and scattered i 'he four winds, was the pre- Severson Measure Will Raise Revenues by $300,000, is Claim of Author lily I nitnl I'ressl Governor La Follette today was to take under consideration the bill of Sen. Herman J. Severson, Iola, raising the annual tax on domestic life insurance, companies from 3 per cent to 3'2 per cent on gross income. The bill passed the assembly Thursday night by a vote of 78 to 5. Severson said he expects it to increase state revenue from this source by $300,000 a year.

The assembly also passed the bill of Assemblyman Michael Laffey, Milwaukee, increasing the number of freeholders eligible to sign affidavits for non-registered voters. The bill provides that freeholders in the same district, instead of in the same precinct as now required, may sign the affidavits, and that a freeholder is eligible to sign 19. instead of the present 5 affidavits. Delegation Is Split The Milwaukee delegation split up in debate over the bilL Laffey stated that the present laws disfranchise thousands of voters, because of the scarcity of freeholders in any single election precinct. Assemblyman Marshall H.

Reckard, Milwaukee, answered that Milwaukee's elections are among the cleanest in the country, and that the check on non-registered voters would be loosened by the Laffey bill. The vote was 62 to 20. Reckard's bill providing an increase in indemnities payable under workmen's compensation, was passed 67 to 12. The bill increases the yearly basis for computation of indemnities from $1,500 to $2,500, and increases the weekly percentage of wages payable from 65 per cent to 85 per cent. Two bills introduced by Assemblyman Milton T.

Murray, Milwaukee, pertaining to coroners duties, were passed with little opposition. One provides that coroners be paid $8 a day for investigating necessity of holding an inquest, and the other that inquests be held in the county where the mortal wound was inflicted. The assembly passed the bill of Assemblyman Evan C. Davies, Wales, paying William H. Pluess, Mukwanago, $50.25 compensation for injuries suffered in 1927, when a racing automobile left the track1 at the Milwaukee state fair and struck him.

Work to Start on New Klamath River Power Dam CHICAGO, March 13 Work will soon be started by The California Oregon Power company on the construction of a regulating dam at Keno, on the Klamath river. This new dam will cost approximate ly $100,000 and will furnish employment for a considerable number' of men. The completion of this project will aid materially in regulating the flow of the Klamath river between Klamath Falls and Keno and is expected to overcome the problems formerly caused by the fluctuation of the stream flow. This will greatly benefit the operations of riparian land owners along the river from Klamath Falls to Keno as well as proving a big help to the timber interests and navigation In that vicinityj Alderman Lindauer Would Take Away "Speed Track Privileges; Seek Truck Count Elimination of Gorham street "as a speed track" is proposed in a resolution which Aid A. C.

Lindauer will present to the common council tonight. He will ask that signs be posted at intervals on the street, announcing the limit at 20 niiles an hour. Similar signs are being installed on Wilson street from King to South Bedford streets. Alderman Lindauer announced that he would seek regulation of speed on Gorham street after the street committee Thursday afternoon decTded to recommend that Frank L. Trostle, director of traffic, make a count of heavy trucks so as to determine whether or not they should be excluded frpm the street.

Aid. Frank chairman of the committee, in an ordinance proposed that all trucks; weighing pounds or more be excluded from use of the street" He said he presented the measure at the request of many residents on the street. Aid. Patrick H. Barry opposed the ordinance on the grounds that streets are being built for heavy traffic.

Aid. C. R. Parr considered it unfair to drive the heavy trucks from one street to another. He contended that if the request of Gorham street residents is" granted, people living on other streets will "make similar demands.

Alderman Lindauer expressed the fear that heavy vehicles will damage the street. He says some trucks travel on Gorham street at a rate as fast as touring cars. The ordinance would not forbid truck drivers from delivering goods to anyone on the street. Alderman Alford said. He declared that in zoning the city Har-land Bartholomew, zoning expert, designated Johnson -fis a heavy traffic street.

The Rupp resolution, providing that the Milwaukee road maintain a agman at the Murray crossing from p. m. to a. m. was also referred to Mr.

Trostle with directions to make a traffic count.

Road Knights Eat-and Stay at Waterloo Itinerants of the road are voting the women of Waterloo to be great cooks. Three of ten of them, who feasted there this week, have become so enamored with its menus that they have decided to locate there permanently, one on a farm and two others as workers in a gravel pit.

The women of the Waterloo lodge of the Eastern Star decided to give a dinner to' which all who desired to come, were invited. Many came but the supply of eatables was so bountiful that there was food left. Then some one suggested that the inmatffs of the calaboose had been forgotten. Marshal Westover was notified and he led nine hungry wayfarers to the feast. They dined off the dainties and did full justice to a dinner the like of which they had not tasted for many a day.

What is more they talked with their hosts and jobs were found for three who said they were in search of work. Waterloo feels it is doing its share in aid of the unemployed.

RUSSELL Assemblyman In Attack on Sen.Cashman Many members of the Wisconsin assembly today applauded the speech of Assemblyman G. Earle Ingram, expressing resentment at the recent actions of Sen.

John E. Cash-man, Denmark, in securing publication of criticisms of attitudes of assemblymen regarding bills in committees. Senator Cashman, on March 11, gave to a local paper an article credited to him, remarking on attitudes of Assemblymen Ingram and D. M. Langve, Westby, toward the administration highway bill, discussed in the highways committee March 10.

Ingram stated that his opinion and that of Langve were sincere. He quoted passages from Cashman's article as follows: "Senator Cashman said none of the amendments to 29 will be ser iously considered. Assemblyman Burnham's amendment would only delay the unemployment relief fea tures. Senator Cashman beliefes." "Not only is that a reflection on the members that appeared before the committee, but it is not true, Ingram said, "Our sentiments were honest, I did not come down here to have any reflections thrown on me by. members of the senate.

I wish to voice my resentment for conduct of this kind by a member of that body," Ingram concluded. Dr. Hambly Describes West Africa in Talk Angola, one of the least known parts of West Africa, was Dr. W. D.
