Messrs. A. W. Vaughn & Son, boot and
shoe dealers. 100 Main street, have been
in business here less than two years, and
yet through their enterprise and business
push, coupled with strict integrity and
desire to please. have won position
well up towards the top Of the list of our
successful business men. AS an index
to their trade it is only necessary to note
the fact that it is very seldom that one
can visit their store without finding
customers waiting, and these customers
embrace not only many of our town
people, but also those from neighbOring
towns and cities. A. W. Vaughan &
Sons stock is as varied in quality and
price as it is carefully suited to every
class of public demand.
As the time for the opening of schools
is at hand, it may be interesting to those
who are not aware of the fact, to learn
that under law passed by the last legis-
lature, boys and girls may attend any
high school and the town in which they
live will be compelled to pay the tuition.
provided there is no high school in the
town in which they live. The town
without high school raises funds by
taxation to pay the tuition. This proves
great advantage over what it was IN
the past, as there is now no excuse for
anyone for net acquiring high school
education, which may have been hereto
fore difficulty to some, owing to the
fact that the cost of tuition was burden
to them, which has now been put aside.
Here is a list of questions for the wide
awake boy. Can you answer all of them.
How many of you ever saw white colt?
How many different kinds of trees grow
in your neighbOrhOOd and what are they
good for? Why does horse eat back
ward and a cow forward? Why does a
hop vine always wind one way and bean
vine another? Where should the inside
of a chimney be larger, at the top or at
the bottom. and why? Can you tell why
horse tethered with rope always un-
ravels it, while cow always twists it in
a kinky knot? How old must grape
vine be before if can bear? Why do
leaves turn upside down before rain?
What wood will bear the greatest weight
before breaking? Which is the
most elastic? What is the length of a
horses head? Is it as long as -four
barrel? What animals have no upper
teeth in front, and why?
OF the immense mass of documents
published by the state for its various de-
partmentS, boards, commissions and in
stitutions of learning, comparatively few
| find their best use. Soon after their pub
| licatiOn they are scattered and stored in
ut-0f-theway-places. The Wisconsin
| Free Library commission has determined
to try to collect such documents and to
aid the public libraries in making sets
and SO arranging them that students of
| public affairs can use them conveniently.
The commission will also make list of
such documents and expects to make
general index of them. For the purpose
of aiding libraries the commission has
established in its office in the capitol
building clearing house for state docu
ments where it will receive such dOcu-
ments and exchange with public libraries.
Any citizens of the state who nave state
documents which they can spare can make
them of much worth by giving them to
the to commission which will pay the
freight. Please send boxes to +. H.
