MEN FOUND LACKING.
Annual Institute for County Tea
cheers Shows That Men
Teachers are Scarce
MEETING VERY SUCCESSIVE

The annual institute for the Keno
noslla county teachers which closed at
Wilmot today, proved to be the most
interesting gathering Of the kind ever
held in this county. The attendance
during the week passed the eighty
mark, but the passing of the "man
teacher" In the country schools was
fully emphasized. On the opening
day of the institute there were sixty
Gig women and one man registered,
and during the remainder of the week
bat four other men were added to the
clare that it is almost impossible to
secure men to teach ia country
schools. The salaries paid in rural
districts are SO low that the men who
have sufficient education to attend to
the work prefer to engage in other
lines.
The instructors at the annual sum
mer school for teachers we're Prof.
w. c. Hewitt Of Oshkosh, and Prof.
Kelley Of Mayville. The usual IN

but the work was divided into two
sections, one for the experienced
teachers and one for the beginners
who plan to startsin their work at the
opening of the new school year.
County superintendent J. J. Kerwin
of Silver Lake, was in3charge Of the
work Of both divisions and to his
1abors the success. Of the institute
was largely due.
The coming Of the teachers made
the week gala one ia the history of
Wilmot and the presence Of SO many
visitors was q decided stimulus to the
town. Baseball was thesmain amuse-
ment for the week and /, it sis claimed
| that the ladies asswell as the men took
part in the games. The Kenosha
county girls are not only good school
teachers, but they are athletes, and
the women proved their superior
ity over the men on sthe diamond on
at least two occasions.
| On ofthe features ofsthe,week was
the musical worksunder the direction
Of Miss Imogen Bacon. Thursday
was given over to ex-schoolx teachers
and many Of the former teachers re-
! turned to renew Oddities.

AGAINST OPEN WORK WAISTS
Archbishop Messmer Speaks His Mind
in Regard to Flimsy Clothes

Archbishop Sebastian G. Messmer
frowns upon the peekaboo waist, SO
popular with the fair sex. He says
it is in1modest.
A furore has been caused among
the devoted feminine commandments
in the Catholic churches of the East
by the stand the clergy has taken
against the peekaboo and the Yvette
Guilbert glove, which is SO much the
rage. The clergy objects to the long
glove because of it's resen blance to
the stocking.
II do not think much of the peeka-
boo waist, = said Archbishop Messmer.
sit is irnmodest, and I think the
women are going little too far with
this mode of dress. / don't have any
thing against the long glove, how
ever.
During the last week / have seen
much in the papers Of the stand taken
against the transparent waist, both
by the clergy and city officials, and I
quite agree with them that it is inn
proper. have the same opinion Of
the low necked gown, with its short
sleeves. I think it is going beyond
the bounds of nodesty.
"But peekahoo waists and long
gloves and low necked gowns will not
be taken up officially in this diocese.
The women should know what modesty
is. They shonld know what is proper
and what is improper, and we shall
leave the dress to them.
"Peekaboo waists and low necked
gowns are not to be censured because
Of their ;mmodesty alone. I don't
think they are conducive to good
health. Quite the contrary, believe
that the openwork waist leads to Sc
we're colds, tuberculosis and other dis
eases Of the lungs and throat. Waen
the neck and chests exposed oae Gay
and covered the next the result cam
not be otherwise. When the day is
slightly chilly the women wear high
necked gowns. When the day is
warm the peekaboo is worn"

AFTER WIFE DEsERTERs
District Attorney and Chief of Police
Plan to Give These Men the Limit


District Attorney r. v. Baker and
Chief of Police O'Hare are planning
determined crusade against wife de-
serters in Kenosha and some interest
ing developments are promised. One
man who fled from Kenosha a month
ago, leaving behind him wife and
children, has been located in Chicago.
and the facts in the case have been
laid before the district attorney. The
man is working as a driver of an ice
wagon and he has paid no attention to
his family since leaving Kenosha.
His present wherea bouts were discov-
cred through the aid of Chief Collins.
Of Chicago.
The records of the police office
show that more than a dozen cases of
wife ABANDONMENT have been re-
ported during the last year, and it is
thought that if a few of these men
we're sent to the peniteutiary for
good long term such action would go
a long way toward doing away with
the nuisance.

WALKED orr TEE BRIDGE
John Bloom. Gets an Unusual FAN on
Saturday Night

John Bloom Gets an Unusual Fall on
Saturday Night
John Bloom, a Polish resident of
the NORTH side, occupies a ward at
the Kenosha hospital. He is suffer
ing from a bad cut on his head aud
bruises ia nearly every part Of his
anatomy,
Bloom was taken to the hospital in
the ambulance late Saturday night.
He had been down town during the
evening, and When he started for
home it is intimated that his feet
didn't exactly track When he
reached the Middle street bridge he
lost his way and walked off the ap-
proach to the bridge. The fall into
the river was just sufficient to bring
him to his senses, and his shouts for
aid brought the ambulance. Bloom
will not be laid up long, but it is
probable that he will walk a little
straighter on Saturday nights in the
future.

MUST CLEAN CANS

Health Officer Spalding Sends Warm
ing to Milk Dealers About the City
Health Officer John B. Spalding has
sent out notice to milk dealers in
different parts Of the city demanding
that more care be given to the keep
ing Of milk Cans. The health officer
recently went On tour Of inspection
to different milk depots and he found
that the cans at some of the places
we're in filthy condition. He claims
they were improperly washed and
that some Of the cans had layer Of
old milk and filth in them.
The milk dealers Will probably
heed the warning ard clean up, but
should they fail to heed the warning
the milk will be conhscated by the
health officer and poured out as unfit
for use.

BANKS SHOW INCREASE
Banking Business Continues to Make
Gains in Badgerdom


Gains in Badgerdom
The volume of business done ia the
state banks of Wisconsin has made a
substantial increase during the past
three months, accordingssto a state

day by Commissioners of Banking
Bergh. The report shows an increase
Of 1913, Toy 90 in the volume of bust
ness comparing the condition of the
banks on June is with the condition at
the date Of the previous report, April
s. This IS not as large an increase as
has been shown in the last few re-
ports, but 1t is accounted for by the
fact that this is not the busiest season
of the year in financial circles. The
next following report will be effected
by the beginning of the movement of
crops and will doubtless show a much
larger increase of business.
The report shows that the total re-
sources Of the 2o8 banks under the
supervision of the state department is

Among the items of resources that
increased sinGe the last report, the
largest IS loans and discounts, the in
crease being over 100000. This
shows that the banks are getting their
money loaned out at interest, and pre-
diets prosperity for the fnanciers.
There was a decrease of over 5000,

showing that the bankers are getting
things Strengthened out among them
selves.
Saving deposits increased over ST.

CROP CONDITIONS GOOD

State Report Shows That There Is
Prospect for Bountiful Harvests
For the last week or ten days the
weather has been ideal for growing
crops, and farmers from all parts of
the county report excellent conditions
with the exception of hay, which,
because of the dry weather earlier in
the season, is comparatively light.
The crops. however. are excellent.
BY some it is feared that the cab
hage cropis even growing too fast and
that the good weather will send it
along at such a rate that it will have
to be harvested before the warm
weather is over. In this event the
crop will be hard to handle and con-
siderable loss may follow.

JUST AS WE EXPECTED.

A Montpelier gentleman took ex
ceptions to our editorial, last week,
nm the county fair question. Well,
We expected some one would kick
because we were broad-minded
enough to speak good word for an
enterprise that originated IN Paris,
Notwithstanding that the enterprise
was one that would, to a great ex-
tent. benefit the entire county. Now
the Examiners first interests always
haye been, and always will be, for
Montpelier, but unfortunately a
newspaper cannot do everything to-
, wards building up town. If II
, could, we would have had a county
fair established here last year. We
did all We could about q year ago
now to try and get our Commercial
club to push the fair proposition,
but citizens, whose financial in
terests in Montpelier are far greater
than ours and who would reap
dollars from fair held here, when
we would reap cents, didn't see fiji
to push the matter, and consequent.
ly it was dropped.
If it was within our power, there
are many things that we would dc
for the benefit of Montpelier, MOI
the least of which would be the re
moval of the county seat here from
Paris.

Pany ne keeps, so is town judged
by its general appearance If a
person seeking a location notices.
upon entering a town, that the side
walks are rickety and dilapidated.
that there is no uniformity IN the
grading of streets, that the business
houses show great need of fresh
paint, that the alleys and back Yards
of the homes are filed with rubbish
and manure, that the public school
buildings and grounds show lack of
proper care, he would quickly de-
eide that such a town was not the
place for live, energetic person
and ne would not attempt to disturb
the people OF the community from
their easy, happy -go-lucky, don't
give a darn way of living. Of
course a stranger, upon visiting
Montpelier wouldn't find conditions
as above painted, but he would find
that the town is decidedly behind
the times in the matter of munic
ipal Improvements and general
cleanliness, but why should he find
things thuss Certainly not because
our city or the citizens, individual
", cannot afford to do the things
necessary to give the town an up-to-
date and progressive appearance.
There is just one reason why Mont
pel;er today doesn't compare favor
ably with any other town of its size
in the state, and that is, NEGLI-
GENcE. We have fallen into the
same rut that The Arkansaw gentle
man did, who couldn't repair the
roof of his house when it was rail-
ing, and when it wasn't raining the
roof didn't need repairing. Let us
pull ourselves ont of that rut this
spring and start in to make the town
one of the prettiest in the state.
Montpelier's site is beautiful one
as compared with some of the towns
in the state. Take Caldwell, for
instance. The town was laid out in
a low alkali bed-about as undesir-
able looking site as one could find
upon which to build a town, but
the citizens have wrought wonder
full transformation and made the
town what it is today-one of the
prettiest and most thriving COM
munities in Southern Idaho. II has
taken money and labor 10 do it, but
II was money and time we'll spent,
Tor every one who visits the town
goes away and tells of the beauties
OF the place. 1t may not be pos
sible for Montpelier to grow in
SIZE, as some Idaho towns are grow
ing. but it is possible for the town
70 grow in general improvements
until II gains the name of Mont
pelier, the beautiful.
