Costs an Actress Who Kissed He,
Mother in Street Car ST.


Russia is ruled by vigorous laws.
The irony and humor of some of them
come home to the foreign onlooker,
while of course the Russians feel only
the whip hand. The latest victim of
an anti-kissing in public law is ia
nous and all too impetuous Russian
actress, Mile. Trepoff, who actually
had the temerity to kiss her mother
in a tram car
One would have thought even

was vigorously enforced.
A kiss in the street is penalized to
the extent of Z rubles (19 shillings 10
pence), and declaration of love sent
by postcard. if anybody is brazen
faced enough to do such a thing, is
punished to the extent of rubles IA

COOPERATION IN STATE SCHOOLS

Closer cooperation between the Uni
verslty of Wisconsin and the normal
schools of the state in the training of
high school teachers is the aim of the
plan just adopted by the university
after a conference with representa-
tives of the normals. Hereafter grad
yates of the German and Latin courses
will be admitted to the university with
two years credit, so that they can COM
plete their work for the degree of
bachelor of arts in two years more,
making four year course.
The adoption of this plan by the
normal school regents will make pos
sible the full utilization of the existing
institutions of the state for better
academic and professional prepar alton
of teachers.

TEN YEARS AGO
Items from the Budget of this week in Is

The C. K. & M have crew taking
up rails and ties at the landing.
The Arpin Lumber Co. had represent
atives here last week looking over the
C. r. & M. with view of purchasing
it. They have lot of hardwood tim
Der in the northern part of this county
and the southern part of Sawyer that
they want to get out and manufac-
ture into stock and they believe that
it will be cheaper to get it out over the
C. R. & M. We hope that they will
buy the road as it will mean a new
plant for this place.
The family of Mr.. Andrews, who
keeps the boarding house at the Town
Site, have just returned from visit to
Chetek.
The family of M. o. Bell, of Lincoln,
Ind, arrived today. Also Mr.. Bell Sr.
and family. They were at once taken
to the new town by Mr.. Gerard.
O. c.. Bell will be in Warner with his
saw mill in about two weeks. He will
build on the grounds of the new Town
Site Co. and will give employment to
about thirty men when he gets the mill
running. That insures the sale of all
the timber the farmers can bring in
the winter.
The Dells Lumber Co. have finished
haying and are now building camps on
the Flambeau road to begin logging.
The Modern Woodmen will organize
camp here Saturday, Aug. 10. They
have about twenty charter members to
begin with.
Stahmann Bros, are still doing a
large honey business. They shipped
over 1900 pounds the past week.
GLEN FLORA
A large crew of men are at work on
the new r. R. running north-the
Switzer spur. 1t will be pushed right
along to the Flambeau, penetrating a
large belt of fine hardwood and hemlock
timber, which will be hauled here and
manufactured, giving employment to
crew of men the year around.
L. L. Soule is painting the residence
of H. W. True on the west side. Mr.
Soule has convinced the public that
he is thorough master of the art in
all of its branches.
Professor Mackin and wife have TAX
en- up their abode here. Mr.. Mackin
has been engaged as principal of our
school. He comes highly recommended.
