The great Trouble with our people

Governor Jennings has accepted
Comptroller Croom's advice that
the levy of 8 mills for general reve.
nue. purposes authorized by the last
Legislature be reduced to % for the
year 1902, The Comptroller gave
as his reasons for proposing the rec

the State bonds heretofore bearing 6
and Z per cent interest in 8 per
cent bolds there will be an annual
saving Of more than $4,000, that
other expenses OF last year were
likely to not occur again, or to be
reduced, and that revenue.producing

from licenses growing larger. After
duly considering the Comptroller

TO GET RID OF ANTS.

In response to letter from Assem-.
hlyman w. +. Collins of this city asking
how to get rid of the ants in lawns
which are very troublesome here this
year, f. S. Golf of the state experiment
station at Madison makes the following
reply
THE best way know of to destroy
ants in lawns is to pour a little carbon
bi-sulphate into the hill and than cover
with a piecc of wet cloth to prevent tie
escape of the fumes. | apply it By
making a hole an inch or two deep in
the center of the ant hill and pouring in
about two tablespoonsfuI Of carbon
bi-sulphate. This material caR be pur-
chased at drug stores. The fumes OF if
are heavier than air and so tend to
settle into the soil permeaing in all di-
rections and destroying all animal life.
Care should be taken not to inhale the
fumes aud no FIRE should be used in the
vicinity as the fumes are explosive.

stantially as follows: Get wisdom,
get understanding, is a splendid in
junction for this occasion, and, indeed
for all others of similar character. Wis
dom widens the horizon of life, giving
a greater sweep of vision, a better
knowledge of the relation of man to
man, and more perfect knowledge of
God. Wisdom is considered as an ac-
quirement, and as such is the knowl-
edge and use of that which is best, most
just, most proper, most conducive to
our prosperity and happiness. Educa-
ton teaches how to reach the end of life.
1t does for man what the agriculturalist
does for the fruits of the earth. The
struggle of life is, for the average man,
'gainst great odds, and he wins who is
best fitted to meet the adverse condi-
tions of life. Various ideals have been
set before the young student, as the end
and aim of education. Among these
are the Bread and Butter theory which
teaches how to make living with the
minimum thought and labor, and least
sweat of the face. 1t excludes all that
is not included in the &hsoipte, In its

supreme end the good of the public.
The interests of the community, State

power of society, and the rising genera

their minds. In life there are no rights
without corresponding duties, and the
safety of society depends upon assign

writer in the Commercial West says
The first impression given by the

harvest OF timber as has grown upon it
Then looking at it as a possible crop

COMMENCEMENT WEEK.

This Commencement week promises
to be notable one in the annals of the
Wausau High School.
The Thursday evening program will
be opened by the High School chorus
and al invocation by Rev F. A. Pease
after which Alfred Larson, '02 saluta-
torian, will speak on the class motto,
''Thyself Must Make Thyself." Miss
Helen Gebhart has chosen for her sub
iect Chopin's "Ballade No. 2, in A Flat
which she will discuss and illustrate on
the piano.
The class play, "The Merchant OF
Venice Up-to-Date. of which the cast
of characters was given in last week s
High School news, is said to be the fin
est class play ever presented in the
High School. The Merchant of Ven
ice'' is certainly "up-to-date," and a
most humorous adaptation of the orig
inal, following the plot quite closely in
most instances but introducing some
startling inoyations in others. Portals
immortal speech appears in the latest
vernacular, aud many famous Shakes

most remarkable Goth century English.
