nual report for the past year, together
with its estimate of tire financial re,
quirements for the coming year:
The increase in the enrolment no.
ticed during each of the two preceding
years has continued. The total en-
1ollment for the present school year
is 1.O24; the enrolment for 1901, 97S;
the enrolment for 1860, SCI. The pres
ent enrolment is divided as follows:
East Side school. sos
West Side school. ..16b
Fish hatchery school. ........... Q
Hutton's grove school. ......... IA
There has been no school at Red
Buttes thus far during the present
year.
The increased enrolment made it
necessary, at the commencement of
the year. to provide one additional
room, which was done by partitioning
off the south end of the high school
loom. Soon after the commencement
of school it was found necessary to re.
lieve two other o~ver-crowded rooms by
establishing a class in the superin-

Climb Women Meet

Representative club women of Beloit,
Edgerton, Evansville, GAINESVILLE, Racine
and Whitewater met at the home of Mrs.
E. D. MCGOWAN, 154 Milton avenue on
Wednesday and organized the first dis
trict federation of Women's clubs in the
state of Wisconsin. Several other states
have district declarations but until today
there has been no organized district in
this state. The gathering represented
the federated women's clubs of the First
district and was characterized by cul-
ture, earnestness and enthusiasm. The
district federation was organized with
Mrs. G. A. Emerson of Beloit as chair
man for the day and Mrs. A. E. Tanberg
of this city as secretary. The greater
part of the day was devoted to the adop-
ton of constitution and there was the
most animated discussion as to whether
unfederated clubs should be admitted to
the federation. At one o'clock recess
was taken and the visiting delegates
were entertained at dainty four course
luncheon pret5ily served at small tables.

Pioneer Settler Dies of Apoplexy

David Van Wart, for fifty years a resi-
dent of the town of Porter, died Tuesday
morning as the result of stroke OF apo
plexy he had on Tuesday Of last week
He leaves widow and five sons, two oil
whom, Lou and David, reside in Evans
vile. Dan and Frank reside in Beloit
and Charles on farm near Evansville
Last Tuesday Mayor Rose spoke in Ev-
ansville and Mr.. Van Wart, who was a
life long democrat, attended the meeting
After it was over he went to Rose and
told him that he was lifelong demo
crat and was one still, and being one he
could not vote for him for governor as
the democratic nominee. He then went
to his son, Louis, store and while talking
there dropped to the floor with stroke
of apoplexy. He was carried to his home
and died Tuesday morning at o'clock.
Mr.. Van Vert came TO Wisconsin with
his parents in 1874 He was born in
New York state in 1885. He lived on his
fathers farm in the town Of Porter until
1852, when he joined the party of young
men who went to California in search OF
gold. The party went overland and took
two months in crossing the plains. Mr..
Van Wart spent two years on the Pacific
coast and then returned to Wisconsin,
buying with his father the Ball tavern
between Evansville and GAINESVILLE. He
was proprietor Of this for eight years
when he sold out and again became a
farmer. In 1857 he was married to Miss
Ann Jones, native of Wales It was
only last spring that he left his farm and
moved to Evansville to make his home
near his two sons. The interment will
be at Evansville.

Gravel Pit Has Big Season.

The Rockton gravel pit-that busy
hive of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul railway-has closed down for the
season. The amount of work done al
the pit, expressed in figures, is difficult
to grasp. Since April ], $4,000 cars, OIL
$4,000 square yards, have been removed
The steam shovel has been at work day
and night, keeping twenty-five train
crews busy hauling the gravel which has
been used in Iowa between Savannah
and Rock Island. During the past ten
years the st. Paul company has used up
135 &C es OF gravel d feet deep at Rock
ton, xhausting two pits. The last pur-
chase was another tract of 81 acres and
two-thirds of this has been used up

Tobacco Notes.

Mr.. Frank Ruscher of New York, of
the inspection firm of Ruscher & Mellor,
is visiting the local markets this week.
Mr.. G. M. eager, one of the old time
tobacco men, arrived from Connecticut
Thursday and will spend some time
looking after interests in this market.
S. B. Heddles of GAINESVILLE, has leased
new tobacco warehouse which is build
ing at Rio for term of years and will
handle his purchases in that section at
that point.
Arthur Clarke has returned from a
two weeks stay at Westby where he has
been engaged in sampling the '01 pack
ings of A. johnson and Ludwig Hanson

Frank S. Baines is building a new
warehouse at Windsor, 32xS0 feet, for
the purpose eff handling a portion of his

Campbell, their western buyer, were in
the city Monday looking for location
for a large tobacco warehouse. There is
no question but what the warehouse will
be located in this city, but just where
has not yet been decided. Several sites
are under consideration. The one that
was looked upon with most favor is on
Gold street, near the st. Paul tracks,
about block west of the Heddles ware
house. In all probability the selection
of a site will be made today, so that
there will be no delay in starting the
building. They are anxious to get To-
cation alongside of a railroad track
where they can get good connections
with the tobacco growing districts of the
state. Their warehouse will be large
one, capable of holding several thousand
cases of tobacco. The firm is one of the
most extensive in the west and a large
warehouse is necessary to handle the
! amount of leaf they buy during the sea-
son. The building will be finished in
time to handle the firms 1902 packing of
Wisconsin, and will be quite an addition
to the warehouses already located in this
city.-Gazette.

Bessie Lusk Taken to Hospital.

Miss Bessie Lusk, who has been ill
for a couple of months, was taken to
GAINESVILLE by DR.. Trulson for treatment
in the hospital and it may be that an
operation for appendicitis may be neces-
sary. She is very weak, worn out with
suffering. Miss Lusk was born in Ed

have records around 2:13 the event failed
to arouse much enthusiasm. The track
was heavy and only moderate time was
made in any of the other events.
EARLY Wednesday morning the safe

SKILLED FARM HELP.
In No Fart of fThis Great Country Noes
the supply Approach u riI.
the Demand

The farm lchor problem seems Ia
get harder eac.i year. Let IA man
run a farm on Cape Cod and he Will
ind that expert farm hands are hard
er to obtain than anything else that
good farming demands. Let him go
straight to California. and he Will
find about the same story. California
farmers are surprised to learn that
eastern farmers are CRYING for belp
-well-trained help! We have daily
letters from people all over the
north who fairly beg for men and
women who are dependable. This lack
OF skilled helpers is actually chang
ing the plan of farming in many sec
tions. Farmers find that by using
fertilizers and complicated machinery
they can alone or with little help
work their farms fairly well-with
grass, grain or fruit-often selling
the latter on the trees. 1t is true
that the use of fertilizers and ma
chinery have enlarged the possibil-
tiles of one-man farming, yet it fire.
quently happens that the farms on
which this plan is followed are nat
urally suited to IT," "~o"e which de-
mnnd hand labor. if this failure to
obtain skilled help were confined to
any particular section it might he ac-
counted for. but, so far as we know.
there is no part of the country
where the supply equals the demand.
In theory one would think that the
short courses at our agricultural col
leges would be crowded with boys
and hired men eager to fit themselves
for more useful work. If something
of this sort could he brought about
such colleges would truly prove
blessing to farmers. for without
skilled and really helpful helpers the
farmer is often unable to utilize fully
the scientific information so freely
given him.-Rural New Yorker.

The increased use of sugar in the
army ration of the German soldier,
of whom great muscular eXertion is
required, makes it apparent that the
masses of the people would be greatly
benefited by its increased use as an
article of diet. The more cheaply
sugar can be produced by improved
methods of cultivation and manufac-
turc. either from the cane or sugar
beet, the more easily it can be placed
within the reach of the consumer,
and the better it will be for the gem
eral health of the working class and
the vitality of the race.-Farm and

To make the poultry business pay
four things are necessary. The one
embarking in it must have a natural
liking for the pursuit; must ascertain
exactly how much capital can be in
vested in the business; must make n
study of the most approved plans and
methods of starting the enterprise,
both as to the breed of fowls selected
and the arrangements for their ac-
cessible markets and the best man
ner of reaching good customers in
those markets, and then proceed to
work with patience andpersiStence. In
a modified way the same principles APP
ply to poultry keeping on the farm

Milk Must lie Cooled Quickly.

In cooling milk the work should be
done rapidly. 1t is not enough to set
the cans in cold air; they should be
set in cold water. Anything cools more
rapidly in cold water than in cold air,
for the reason that the air is to con-
siderable extent n non-conductor.
Water absorbs very rapidly heat from
any object placed in it. If it is de-
sired to have the milk cool in very
short time it should be stirred after
It has been in the cold water for some
time, as the milk at the sides of the
can will be quite cold while that in the
middle of the can will be still hot

Fig. is one-quarter pitch, one
fourth the width.
Roofs can be put on any building
IL the above rules are followed.
House rafters should be two feet
from centers, including partitions.
To know how much sheathing is
wanted, get the surface foot of ex-
terror and roof, and the same rule
applies for siding, only it will be nee
essary to add one-fifth more for lap
and waste. Also, add one-fifth more
to floor to make good tongue and
groove and waste. All floor beams
should be 16 inches from centcrs, the
same as studding.
One bunch of lath containing 100
lath will cover a space one foot high
and GO feet long. Seven pounds of
lath nails will lay ten bunches of
lath. One barrel of lime will cover
25 yards of plaster, two coats. One
load of sand will mix one barrel of
lime. One thousand shingles will
cover 14i square feet if laid five and
one-half inches to the weather. One
keg of shihgle nails will lay 10000
shingles.
To build stairs properly, have the
well hole not less than one foot
shorter than the height of ceiling,
and to get the height of stairs, meas
ure from floor to floor and see how
many steps it will take to reach the

FARM TELEPHONES.
That They Are Multiplying In All
Parts of the Country Is IA Pleas
Ing Sign of Progress.

Some of our readers have lately
mentioned in letters the convenience
of the telephone. They save many a
long, hard drive in the cold. One
farmer arranges to go to the post of.
fee, to the store or neighboring vii.
lage or railway station for the neigh.
borhood and so half days work or
more is saved to man, for men and ami
mails 1t is economy in time, in wear
and tear of carriage, in the exposure
and use of horses, and in ways too
numerous to catalogue.
But one of the chief uses of the farm
telephone, as we conceive it, is in its
social benefits. 1t brings the people
in touch. What one knows of impor-
tance can be known by all. If there
is "A farmers institute, a lecture, a
meeting of the lodge or grange, par
ty or social event of any kind, the fact
is easily communicated. This gives a
real live, friendly social touch. You
are no longer an isolated family, left
out in the cold; you belong to COM
munity. You are not withering away
or rusting out in a rural or pioneer
home, but you are in healthful contact
with those who sympathize with you
and are ready to lend a helping hand
if you need it. You may not need il,
but the knowledge that you can have
it and that you are living part of a
modern, civilized, Christian communi-
ty is source Of comfort and Of equa-
nimity which has its own value.
Dollars and cents do not make up
the whole of life. Why do Americans
flock to the cities? One reason is that
they feel the need of the social con-
tact and the various privileges which
come from community life. If our
wives and daughters will be made hap
pier, if the killing isolation can be
overcome and our families be brought
more into organic connection with the
great live world, it would be worth
more when a life's history is written
than anything that can be computed
in money-Farm, Field and Fireside.

Whyoo you put off doing chores until
after dark? Sundown comes so early.
And yet sunshine is cheaper than
kerosene. Plan to use the daylight.
Night was made to rest in and to
enjoy ones self with the paper or

smile on the face of the hired man
when he learns that night sees the
end of his days work. He will be all
the more ready to be up early and to
do n faithful days work if he knows
that evening will bring rest.-Mid-

An Item In ROadmaklng.

1t is common error in road max
ing to endeavor to secure routes COW
ering the shortest distance between
fixed points. For this purpose the
road is often made to go over hill
instead of around it. A road half
way around hill or through a val
ley is sometimes no longer than a
road over hill or through n valley.
The difference in the length, even
between straight road and one that
Is slightly curved is less than many
suppose.
