Wisconsin has been declared by a
Chicago court to be ''voidable"
and considerable STIR has been
created throughout the state in
consequence, though there is lit
tie probability that anything fur
Their will be heard of the matter.
The decision came in connection
with a divorce suit in which the
wife asked to have a Wisconsin
marriage annuled for the reason
as she alleged that it was con
trary to the state laws of Hi.
,nois. Local attorneys are of the
opinion that the decision is con
trarv to the y. S. constitution
and will not be sustained. Mar.
riages recognized as legal by one
state must be recognized in ev.
erv state, else there would be a
strange condition of affairs
While, some states prohibit the

That Boy of Yours.

1t may not always have been
so, but it is especially true to
day, that this country is produc-
ing a higher type of womanhood
than of manhood. In all our
towns and cities there are more
young women whom you would
welcome to your homes as daugh-
ters-in-law than young men
whom you would welcome as
sons-in-law.
There are reasons why this is
SO. There is nothing in the world
so well worth looking after as
the boy, and there is no human
being in the world so neglected.
We have provided little place,
scant room for him. He is well

HIGH SCHOOL. NOTES.
GRACE RADCLIFFE, Reporter.

With the beginning of the winter
term came the following changes of
program; Advanced Algebra gives
place TO arithmetic, botany to physi-
ology, grammar to composition, and
F., the sophmores have in addition the
study of civil government.
The Freshmen, Sophmores and Ju-
niors have held class meetings. The
Juniors have chosen green and white
as class colors and have appointed a
committee to select a class pin. The
Sophmores have adopted purple and
gold and the Freshmen are not behind
the older classes, for they too are de-
Gliding upon colors, pin, motto and
yell.
Last Friday at the close OF exami-
Lations one OF our students wished
very much to know the result of the
same. After finding the result in
three branches, he met the principal
in the hall and remarked, "well |
have heard from three PRECINCTS and
have come out all right but don't
know about the others.
Congress having met in regular SEES
sion this week, the school has been in
terested in reading and discussing the
Presidents message.
The new magazines have been or
dered and will be on the table next
week.
On Monday morning Miss Beatrice
Thrun aud Mr.. Raymond Richison
will review the news of the week.
Some of the Juniors have mastered
their voca5ularies and find the Ger
man language too limited to express
their thoughts. Still it is not hard
for them to invent words that do
fully as we'll.

come to the home. as a baby and
he is welcome as man, but there
| is little welcome for him as boy.
We chaperon our girls and care
fully guard them against un-
worthy boys, but we leave the
bov to choose for himself his as
sociates and achievements. We
give him much sage advice, per-
haps, but little sympathetic guid-
ance. The loneliest, most un-
loved creature is the boy.
Girls are naturally winsome,
gentle, companionable. They
win their ways in homes and
hearts. But the boy noisy, awk-
ward, mischievous, is invited IN
to few homes and feels none too
much at home in his own.
About the only door that
swings with sure welcome to the
boy, about the only chair that is
showed near the fire especially
for the boy, about the only place
where he is sure Of a cordial
greetings where he ought not
to go.
1t is one Of the hardest things
in the world to get hold Of a boy
to get sure grip on him.
It is I ard to win the compan-
ionship, the faith and confidence
of your boy. He has almost oc-
cult powers of observation and
conclusion. You think YOU know
him through an occasional glance
but the chances are he knows
you far better than you know
him. milwaukee Journal.

Eggs in Winter.

Obtaining eggs IN the winter IS
aimed at by moe poultrvmen
than any other one thing. That
all do not succeed isevident when
we consider the scarcity of eggs
and the consequent high price.
We have read essay after essay
on how to obtain eggs in winter,
have listened to institute work
ers tell how it is done and have
even visited the poultrymen who
made it business to do it and
we find no concert of action.
One person will succeed with one
breed while another has some
other breed. One will do we'll
with one management while
another has equalsuccess in some
other line Of treatment. Thus it
goes. Getting eggs in winter is
the thing sought and it is like
the Irishman's advice to his son
when he started life, who said:
Mike, get money; get it honor
ably if you can, but get money"
That is the way with eggs; get
them honorablv, but get them.
One of the most successful Win
ter egg producers of which we
have any knowledge has succeed

DDS of management. For feed he

A Thrilling Experience.

Louis Provo, farmer living
near the town of Auburndale,
had an experience with wild cats
last week that makes the blood
of the timid run cold. These ami
mails are very plentiful this fall,
so it is said by men who frequent
the woods, and while they are
not considered viciously bad they
put up a bad fight if cornered.
The average weight of a wildcat
varies from IS to SO pounds and
many instances are known where
they have killed deer and sheep.
On the night in question the
two dogs owned by Mr.. Provo,
set up great disturbance about
IL O'Clock and continued SO fe-
rociously that Mr.. Provo got up
to see what was the matter.
The moon was shining quite
brightly and on top Of a fence
where the dogs were circling two
large black objects we're seen sit
ting, apparently very much un-
concerned. In leaving the house
they left the door open. When
they reached the side of the dogs
one of the animals leaped to the
ground and no sooner had it
struck than a battle royal en-
sued. The fight lasted some min
utes in which yelp of the dogs
mingled with the cry of the cat,
for such it was. drowned all 9TH
err sounds. The two dogs proved
themselves victors but the Skin
mish cost them dearly in scratch
es and many a bad bite. During
the encounter no attention was
paid to the companion of the cat
that had been killed. With quiet
restored Mr.. and Mrs. Provo re-
turned to the house and went to
bed supposipg the other cat had
made good its escape. Nothing
further was thought of the cpl
aode until in the dead hours OF
the following night strange
scratching noise was heard on
the bedroom window. The
noise continued until Mr.. Provo
got up and in the dark went over
to the window near where tab
le stood. Being lame he had TAX
en- his cane in hand and with it
had poked around. Something
passed him and went in the di-
rection of the bed. The unnat
ural catlike tread of whatever it
might be sent cold wave APP the
old mans back, and lighting a
lamp he proceeded with more
caution. Bending down so he
could look under the bed, to his

thest corner a pair OF eyes as
large as walnuts. The only
thing to be done was to summon
the dogs and when they made
their appearance and caught
sight of the intruder the music of

intense but not tiercer. Dishes

Ans.-The hens require lime This
may be given by placing a piece of
lime in the drinking water and by
leaving bits of wall plaster about on
the floor of the house. Finely crushed
egg shells and small quantities of
lime added to the mash would also
help the condition 1t is considered by
many poultry keepers that the grain
should be given in the morning and
the mash late in the afternoon. The
grain should be thrown among litter

Ans.-The usual treatment for mea-
dows infested with moss is to give
them top dressing of lime, and it is
probable that this does some good, but
it is sometimes not very effective /
do not think that there is any good
method of freeing land of such a thick
growth of moss as you describe, ex-
cept by blowing it up and giving it a
heavy dressing of stable manure. The
presence of the moss indicates that
this treatment is necessary. If the
land requires drainage, the question
must be considered whether it is
worth that extra expenditure. Where
little moss occurs in a field in
tufts, these may be sometimes got rid
of by sowing in the hummocks, which
opened up by frost in the spring,
good handful of orchard grass and
white clover. OF course any other
grass suitable to the locality would
do. but it would be well always to in.
clude the white clover.-J. F.
