righteousness and also had no rela-
tiun 30 silver? It's poor rule that
doesn't work both ways, Uncle Rich
ard We all know that wheat was

much less than ever before.
The state board OF control has just
made an important decision in refer
ence TO committing boys to the state
industrial school at Waukesha. Com
initials to the school are: First, for
crime; secondly. for vagrancy, and |
thirdly. for incorrigibility or vicious |
conduct. The custom has been for |
courts of record and justices of the |
peace to commit for any and all |
these causes. The question was re- |
Gently raised whether a justice could /

attention OF the board, and after con-
sideration aud investigation by the |
members was referred to the attorney |
general. That officer has answered |
the question in the negative.
