In their own peculiar style, insist up
on him serving his country at the

constituents have all the confidence

More Platinum.

The Commercial and Industrial

a new deposit of platinum that has
been found in the Urals on the river
Schumich. The sand is easily ac-
cessible, and the platinum is so plen.
tiful that poachers, with the most
primitive washing apparatus, have
been making an average of 500 a
month. Hitherto only gold had been
obtained in that region. The color of
the platinum is dark, and It is hoped
that 1t contains iridium. There is a
brisk struggle going on between the
noachers and regular miners, and a
body of troops has been sent to the
scene to protect the latter.

BEST EXPERTS In COUNTRY
To Be at State Good Roads Con-
yention at State Fair.

The men in charge of the arrange
ments for the State Good Roads Con-
vention to be held at the State Fair
on Thursday, September 18th, have
been most fortunate in securing two
of the best road experts in the coun-
try to give talks to the delegates.
A n. Johnson, who is now State
Engineer of Illinois, has been con-
nected with state work in building
good roads ever since the movement
started He was in the employ Of
the Massachusetts, Highway Commits
sion for a number of years, going
from there to Maryland to take charge
of the work in that state when their
State Geological Survey first inaugu-
rated State highway work.
Mr.. Johnson was in the Govern
ment Road office for a term of years
before accepting mis- present position
as State Engineer of Illinois.
Beside being one of the foremost
road builders in the country, Mr..
Johnson is a very interesting speaker,
and treat is assured all the dele
gates who can attend.
Sam. G.. Lancaster, the foremost
road expert in the employ of the U.
S, Government, has also been secured
to address the delegates. Mr.. Lam
caster has built roads in many parts
of the country and is universally liked
wherever he goes. He knows road
building from the bottom up, and
knows how to tell about it in a most
interesting manner. He at present
looking after important highway work
in the state of Washington which has
appropriated nearly half million
dollars year for state aid to road
building, and is considering appro-
priating still more.
The State Geological Survey, which
is to build the stretch of model road
during the fair, is receiving calls for
expert advice from all over the state.
There are only sixteen counties which
have not sent in applications for this
help. The interest of the people in
the subject of good roads is rapidly
becoming quite intense and only needs
proper direction in order to secure in
a very short time a great improve
ment in the roads of Wisconsin.

natural state is worth from $40 to S15
per acre, through system Of drain
age, is converted into land worth from
$50 to $50 per acre.
"The establishing and operation of
drainage districts has passed from the
experimental stage and in nearly
every instance success has followed
the work of the projectors. At the
first, the land owners and especially
the owners of small tracts were in
clined to look upon the plans proposed
as impracticable, but now the success
OF the various propositions has been
demonstrated. Companies are look
ing for the right sort of land to put
under drainage, knowing that they
can dispose of it as soon as the bitches
are dug.
''In primal state the tracts re-
claimed were largely marshes, and in
some instances included the old cram
berry marshes, which in an early day
were the source of considerable profit
to their owners. Upon these the
bitches were dug and needed only
cross bitches to drain considerable
acreage. This was done and demon
strated beyond question the utility
side of the plan. There has been con-
siderable legislation from time to
time authorizing the organization of
drainage districts which include all
lands that can be brought under a
given system. In making use of the
law the farming population of the
counties named has been considerably
increased. milwaukee Sentinel

GREAT SCARCITY
OF TEACHERS
State Superintendent Cary Says
Condition is ALARMING.

Despite the fact that the university,
normalS, high school and private IN
situations are annually graduating
thousands, the scarcity of teachers in
the state is becoming more of prob
lem each year.
Il don't know of anything scarcer
in this state than teachers" said State
Superintendent G. P. Cary Tuesday.
"There may be shortage reaching
into the hundreds, | cannot Just tell.
| do not know what to attribute as a
cause unless it is the great prosperity
of the country.
"The greatest shortage is in the ru-
raj schools. These are largely taught
by high school graduates and I pre-
sumo that in many of the cases now
the parents have become sufficiently
welltodO so that their daughters are
not compelled to teach. have daily
complaints from county superintend-
ents telling of the shortage and in
many cases they have to search their
districts to fill the vacancies. OF
course all the schools will be filed.
In many cases, however, unless there
was this shortage, better teachers
could be secured and the work of edu-
cation could be brought to a higher
standard.
''1n large number Of the high
schools of the state and in the city
schools there are vacancies and the
superintendent are spending a good
deal of time and money to find capable
teachers to accept"
Mr.. Cary explained for the past sew
eral years there had been a slight
shortage, but never before was it as
great as this year.
Some of the county superintendents
who recently visited Madison attrib-
uted one Of the greatest causes to be
that large number of the teachers
are women and that many get mar
ried after couple of years of teach
ing. Others are retiring from the
profession for various reasons.
Mr.. Cary suggested that people grad
uating from school often selected a
vocation which paid the largest sal
airy for the service rendered and there
was slight intimation that many of
the schools of the state did not offer
salaries sufficient to pay for the time
and experience spent by the teacher in
obtaining an education and for the
services rendered.

A LONG AND QUIET SESSION
The Common Council Transacts
Routine Business,

The common council occupied a
great deal of time Tuesday in the
transaction of small amount of bust
ness. The questions of drainage was
delayed further, the officers not being
present to report The matter of the
widening of Vine and Oak streets was
undisturbed, and as a consequence
the aldermen were docile and quiet.
On behalf of the school board, l. P.
Witter addressed the council and
asked that the schools be allowed
$4,000 this year. He stated that
with three years OF liberal appropria.
lions on the part of the council that
the schools would be enabled to write
out all Indebtedness and would be
therefore in good financial shape
thereafter. The matter was laid over
until the next regular meeting.
The proposition to put in a number
of catch basins on High street met
with quite little opposition. and
after some discussion and the disposal
of amendments to the regular ques-
ton, the council decided to put in
the catch basins asked for.
The automobile ordinance, regulat-
ing the speed of machines on the
streets of the city, and also over the
wagon bridge, met with some opposi-
h11f in, i+e
original form. The ordinance pro-
Vided that autos must not run at a
greater speed than ten miles an hour
in the city limits, and six miles an
hour on the main streets of the city.
1t also prohibits the passing of teams
going in the same direction on the
wagon bridge.
f. S. Gill addressed the council on
the matter of the contract for the
painting of Library building. The
bill for this work was presented and
the general business committee was
instructed to investigate the matter
before the same would be allowed!
Mayor Wheelan explained to the
council that he had been under the
impression that the mayor could
appoint special police and appointive
officers. He stated that he found on
investigation, that these appoint
ments must be confirmed by the
council before they were legal, and
therefor he asked that they confirm
several appointments he had made.
With these appointments he included
the name of Justice Burtin L. Brown.
who on Aug. End. vacated his office of
justice by accepting another and in
compatible office. He explained that
Mr.. Brown desired to make the trip
west with Sheriff WEIGH, his expenses
being paid by the county,-an and with
out thinking about his Office of JUS
tice, or the effect such appointment
might have on his legal rights as a
justice, Mr.. Brown accepted the office
of deputy sheriff Of Wood County.
According to the law this act for
feited the first office, and in order to
clear up the matter, it was the duty
of the council to confirm the appoint
ment. A number of questions were
asked regarding the latter appoint
ment, and the confirmation was then
made unanimously.

When this tube is inflamed you have a

when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
