This room has been outlining
the Civil War. The pupils have
taken great interest in making
these outline maps. Mate Moore
of the eighth grade received the
honor of the best work and Lyle
Young, second. The following
poem on the Holiday was written
by Tom Stuckey of the 9TH grade:
You know scho,l books often tioes get awful

And the lessons that's In them viii get awful
There's something In study that's kinda forlorp,
To sit and study aud study Till your poor br ain
grows cold,
md the teacher she's sharp and ae quick az a cat,
And when the fellere throw paper vais at one
another,
She'll spy lem IND then something will go rat
A.tat.tat.
And ther them sly girls will wink at each other

He looked tpry ami jolly sno not very ''tlr d."
SO all we scholrrs we kopted awfully still,
Acorsc we were waiting ~ hear what he'd say,
AS we aite W locked longingly at the or, en-

And We ali wished he'd give us Holiday
And as sure as we wished it, W. surely teceivedi,

PIONEER DECISION.
Wisconsin Insurance Commissioners
Make New Law for Mutual In
surance Companies.

Milwaukee, Aug, S.-The Sentinal
said today:
Insurance Commissioner Host yester-
day decided that mutual life insurance
companies doing business in this state
must distribute their surplus among the
policy holders at least once in five
years. The decision affects many COM
panes in this country and involves
some $500, 900 which has been With
held by companies doing business in
Wisconsin.
That the stand of Mr.. Host will be
fought by the insurance companies
there is no doubt, and eventually 1t
viii reach the highest courts. The out
come of the case has been watched
for months by every company in the
country, and If the commissioner
stand shall be sustained by the courts
1t will cause shakeup in insurance
circles such as has never been seen.
1t will make it possible for heirs Of
dead people to claim surplus and COM
pound interest that have been with
held, according to Il well known insur-
ance man, and endless litigation is
probable.
The kind of policies that will be af-
fected to the greatest extent are those
known as the "tortine," wherein the
policy holders and insurance company
enter into a contract by the terms Of
which the earnings of the policy are
to be paid at the end Of a term Of
years, generally twenty,
