"GRANDMA" EATON
is SEVENTY-SIX

Twenty-Five children, grand chill
dren and great grand children gathered
at the home of "Grandma" Eaton, on
Eleventh street Friday evening to help
her celebrate her 18th birthday. The
celebration had been quietly planned
and Grandma was about to retire
when the jolly party walked in and
took possession of her home. They
had possessed themselves of bounti-
full supply of good things and in the
preparation of the feast all enjoyed a
part. The evening was delightful
one, to say the least, and it was quite
late before all retired to their home,
leaving behind many useful and
beautiful rememberanceS. All of
Grandma Eaton's many friends in
Guiding the REPORTER, join in con-
gratulationS and best wishes.

LOOKS FOR BIG3CHANGES

In an interview at the Milwaukee
Athletic club one night last week
Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver, Iowa,
said:
Il think that this winter will make
good many changes in public opinion
some of which may occur with great
rapldity, making history fast. There
fore, it would be unwise, at this time,
for me to speculate as to whose
chances are best in the race for the
presidency.
Senator LaFollette has a host of
staunch friends in our good state of
Iowa. He has lots of friends all over
the west. He is everywhere believed
to be honest and earnest.
Il have known him ever since the
ffty-tirst congress, and he is friend Of
mine, and / am friend of his"

MONEY MATTERS
MUCH IMPROVED

Earle Pease, cashier of the First
National bank Of this city was in
Chicago and Milwaukee on business
Thursday and while there called on
several of the leading bankers. He
reports that all were wearing broad
smile and all stated that business
among the banks was nearly normal
again.
The clearing house checks proved
very popular among the people and re-
lieved the strain for currency almost
Immediately. Money is beginning to
flow back into the cities and the
bankers think that within few days
there will be no further use for the
clearing house checks.

TEACHES DEBAT-
ING BY MAIL
New Manual by University Pro.
lessor Sent Free to Debating
Clubs of State.

Prof. B. L. Lyman of the department
of public speaking at the University
of Wisconsin has just published a
new manual on 1.-THE Principles of
Effective Debating" which the uni
versity extension department is using
as basis for it's work in aiding de-
batting societies and other organiZa-
tions all over the state in discussions
of public problems. The new book,
which is sent free to all who are in
terested in debating, either as dis
ciplinary study or as means of dis
seminating information on questions
of public policy, is already in great
demand Requests for copies have
been received from the presidents of
several of the normal schools as well
as from superintendent and principles
of public schools, high schools, aca-
denies and seminarieS in different
parts of the state. An organizat tiOn
of the pastors of the churches of all
denominations in one town which has
as it's object the public discussion of
questions of Importance to the muni-
cipality, has sent for copies of the
book to use as a guide in collecting,
preparing and presenting their argu-
ments. In addition to the book, the
extension department is enabled by
cooperation with the libraries of the
university and of the legislative
reference department of the Wiscon-
sin Free Library commission to offer
other aid to debaters, such as the
loan of valuable reference material
and the gift of federal, state and
municipal reports and publications OF
societies and commissions. The de-
partment also publishes from time to
time leaflets suggesting specific ques'
tions for debate, with directions tC
the debaters as to the sources of in
| formation. In some cases the eXten'
sion department is even able to furnish
public bodies with the personal coun
sci of experts.
The department of public speaking
| in the university wishes to be o1
direct service to all of the various
literary and debating organization Of
the state, and as it is manifestly i'm
possible to reach in person more thar
a very limited number. the book was
prepared for this purpose, prefaced by
an invitation for communication from
those desiring further information as
to subjects for debate. The book sets
i forth in brief form the value of debat
ing as disciplinary study, outlining
the fundamental principles of analysis
evidence and rebuttal. Suggestion
are presented as to the proper method.
of investigation, accumulation o
material and acquisition of informa
tion on the subjects. One vital pub il
question, the imm igration problem, il
presented in outline for debate us al
example, with full photography o
material for use in it's discussion. Ii
his introduction Prof. Lyman voice
his belief that nothing could be dom
which would more effectually tran
the young citizens of the stste in civi
and national affairs than the forma
tion and continuance among them o
a large number of new debating
societies.

GOV. DAVIDSON
ACCEPTED INVITE
Will Meet The President and The
Governors in May.

Gov. Davidson has received the in
vitation sent by President Roosevelt
to governors of all the states, asking
them to a conference to be held at the
whitehouse May 13, IA and 15, on the
conservation of the natural resources
of the country. -
81 have sent letter to the presi-
dent thanking him for the invitation"
said Gov. Davidson today. 81 have
told him that will surely be present
unless other business interests pre-
vent. | SHALL also comply with the in
yitation to select three associates in
representing Wisconsin at the con-
ference. | have complimented the
president on the stand he has taken to
conserve the natural resources of the
country"
Gov Davidson has written a recent
magazine article, which was published
in an eastern historical magazine, to-
gether with the views of other gov
ernors throughout the United States,
in which he has praised the richness
of Wisconsin soil and said something
about the work in Wisconsin in pre-
serving the forests of the state.
1.-THE natural resources of the
United States were, at the time of
settlement, richer, more varied, and
more available than those of any other
equal area on the EARTH" said Presi-
| dent Roosevelt in his letter to Gov.
Davidson. "The development of these
resources has given US, for more than
century, rate of increase of popu-
lation and wealth without parellel in
| history. 1t is obvious that the pros
perity which we now enjoy rests di-
rectly upon the resources. 1t is
equally obvious that the vigor and
success which we disire and foresee
for this nation in the future must
have this as its ultimate material
basis.
SIN view of these evident facts, it
seems to me time for the country to
take account of its natural resources,
and to inquire how long they are likely
to last. We are prosperous now: we
should not forget that'it will be just
as important to our descendants to be
prosperous in their time.
Recently l declared there is no
other question now before the nation
of equal gravity with the question of
the conservation of our natural re-
sources and / added that it is the
plain duty of those of US who, for the
moment. are responsible to take in
yentory of the natural resources
which have been handed down to US,
to forecast the needs of the future
and so handle the great sources of our
prosperity as not to destroy in ad-
vance all hope of the prosperity of our
descendants.
s'It is evident the abundant natural
resources on which the welfare of this
nation rests, are becoming depleted,
and. in not few cases, are already
exhausted. This is true of all por-
portions of the United States; it is
especially true of the longer settled
communities of the east.

j. {. DAVIS WAS
ELECTED BY BOARD
Receives Majority of Votes Cast
for Supervisor OF Asses smentS.

There was quite spirited flight in
the committee on equalization OF
taxes of the county board, during the
whole progress of the session last week
The report was brought in Thurs
day afternoon somewhat altered. The
report of the supervisors of assess
ments was attacked by Supervisor
Lindeman, of Marshield, and the
members of the committee from that
city refused to attach their names to
report. In explanation of this course
Mr.. Lindeman stated to the open
board that his action was not in
fiuenced by the committee, for he be-
lieved they were fair, but he criticised
the methods employed by the super
visor of assessments in arriving at hi S
conclusion Mr.. Arpin explained that
the supervisors work was conscien-
tious and not open TO the criticism,
and that it was done in the best man
ner possible.
The report changed the figures of
the supervision in that the valuation
of Marshfield was cut 100000, and
the valuation of Grand Rapids in
creased $500 and the town of Grand
Rapids $4,000 The township valua
tions remained at the figures reported
by the supervisor.
Immediately following the report
of the committee the matter of elect
ing a supervisor Of assessments was,
taken up, the first ballot showing the
following result:
