aid, Cuba, Wis.
Dear Sir
The election of a county superin-
tendent next April, since it closely
concerns the education of the future
citizens of the county, ought to de-
mand the serious consideration of the
voters, and their best judgment in
selecting the man best qualified for
the position.
In recent article by the present in
cument of the Office, published in the
News Herald, in which he attempts to
point out to the voters the best man
for the position the qualifications
mentioned as necessary are two, illegal
and real" These two qualifications
are undoubtedly important but since
all of the candidates are legally fitted
to hold the Office and since they are
all real men it is obvious that we are
no nearer a choice than before
It would seem that in a matter in
which a man will be called upon to
superintend the work of teachers the
one who is to fill the position should
be educationally their superior. Were
anyone to:select man to superintend
number of carpenters he would pick
out the man who knew most about
carpentering and in teaching, the same
principle should be followed out.
Mr.. Francis Bray. of Cuba, is grad
uate of Platteville and Of the Univer-
sity, and has had seven years of expert
ence in teaching, two years in the
common schools, one year in the grad
ed school, and four years in the high
schools. His education places him
above all others in his fitness for the
position. He is qualified not only
illegally and really" but educationally
as we'll. S. E. SMALLEY.

Some time ago young married
woman Of our town, whose name
we omit, made a curious blunder.
She put some eggs on to boil soon
after breakfast one morning. They
were still on when he came home at
dinner time. Upon her husband
asking what was in the sauce pan,
she answered: Eggs for your
dinner. They have been on since
soon after breakfast. l have tried
them with fork and they are not
boiled yet" His establishment may
rather be better imagined than des-
cribed. And the mere mention of
eggs now brings rosy blush to her
face.

Can You Explain I?

Can you explain why 1t is that indi-
viduals of the male persuasion will
travel about over the country, paying
railroad fare. hotel bills, livery hire and
all other expenses, urging prominent
citizens" to insure their lives in COM
panies said individuals represent, and
which they claim will return all money
paid to their companies and from zoo
to 5000 per cent profit besides to the
prominent citizens" In a few years,
in addition to insurance protection?
Does 1t not seem reasonable that IL
the promoters Of such schemes knew
that 1t was possible to realize one
fourth, yes, one-tenth Of the profit
they Estimate" they will pay under
certain circumstances, they would tell
1t to the people Of the states by which
their companies are chartered, insure
everybody and keep all their money at
home? If you had so good q scheme
would you keep it all or divide with the
people of Georgia, Alabama and Tex
as? You certainly would not divide
any more than they would II they knew
their scheme actually possessed one
fourth the possibilities they claim Tor
1t. The reason why these schemes are
being worked in South Carolina today
Is that they are shut out by all the
southern states except South Carolina
Georgia and Florida, as well as by a
majority Of the other states. There
are now at least two companies selling
schemes in this state, that are prohib-
tied from selling them In the states by
which they are chartered.

Letter to w S Wilkerson,

Hickory Grove, > Z,
Dear Sir: What will it cost to sow
ten acres half wheat and half daisy
mixed? and what'll the crop be worth! !
We don't know what daisy-seeo
costs, nor how bulky 1t is; we suspect
half wheat and half daisy would make
a big crop of daisies, and last a long
time; the wheat might be short.
The parable throws some light on
the cost of a paint half whitewash.
Whitewash, mixed half-and-half with
paint, is all-paint in look and reel;
indeed nine -tenths of the paint In
the stores is part whitewash: some
half, some more, some less.
Paint has to be spread with the
brush, the surface prepared, the lad
ders scaffolds pulleys and ropes ar.
ranged and moved, there's a great deal
of labor in putting paint on; 1t costs
50 to "a a gallon to do 1t.
What does it cost to paint white
wash? Just the same. Half-White-
wash? Just the same. It doesn't seem
worth while, for the whitewash does
harm, not good.
Will the paint hold the whitewash
fast? or the whitewash loosen the
paint?
Better paint pure paint, the least
gallons paint, the least money paint.
