AT Neenah woman was recently
sent to the insane asylum because she
wanted to get married. Many wives
are wondering if they were not insane
when the nuptial knot was tied and why
they were not put in a madhouse until
they had overcome their temporary de-
rangement.
About nineteen millions of pupils
attended schools of all grades and
classes in the United States in 1908.
This means that twenty per cent of the
total population attend school for a
longer or shorter period. The total eX-
penditure for schools was about three
hundred and thirty millions.
An exchange tells the story Of a
Prohibition candidate in Rock county
who had so much campaign literature
left over that he slowed it in his barn,
not thinking about the cows. The cows
ate up the Prohibition literature and
every COW on the place went dry. r.
Manawa Advocate.
Notwithstanding the continued war
fare made on the mail order houses by
the retail trade throughout the country,
the business of these houses has been
increasing at a rapid rate, and some
other style Of campaign must be adopt
ed by the retail merchants if they
would succeed in diverting the trade
from its present channels. And right
here it may be well to say that one of
the first changes to be made in methods
is to stop appealing for business on the
grounds of home loyalty and set about
the task of convincing the people that
it will be money in their pockets to buy
at home. There is no sentiment in
business. 1t is a question Of dollars
and cents. The retail merchant buys
where he can get the best values for
the least money and he cannot blame
the consumer for adopting the same
policy. ~ Fond du Lac Commonwealth.

have a rather new argument to Of
fer in regard to this question. Al
though pumping water with hand
pump is not a very delightful task
Especially on Washdays) it has never
been included in the list of haz-
zardOus pastimes. But during the
past few months two accidents have
occurred in our midst to prove that
We are inurgent need of change in
our water supply. One Of our young
ladies, while manipula ting the pump
handle at her home lost the end Of
one of her small fingers by having
it crushed between the handle and
the jamb of the pump. A short time
after this a young man who was al
so engaged in pumping was struck OF
handle in an uppercut which would
have done credit to Jack Johnson
himself, and the youngster lost two
molars as a result.
Now we believe that our readers
will agree that a change is needed.

That the board of supervisors is deeply interested in the matter of good roads is evidenced by the fact that at yesterdays session, the work o, equalizing the assessments for this year was. sidetracksd until today, while the county fathers discussed ways and means to improve the highways of this county.
 The matter was brought up on com munication from the territorial highway commission, asking for information as to whether or not Gila county favored the levying of the special 25 cent tax, for the purpose of improving the roads of this county, making them territorial highways.
 This question was discussed at length. Pat Rose was highly in favor of the plan of having the road from Globe to Roosevelt declared territorial high. way. The other members favored the plan, if the money raised here was to be devoted entirely to the improve ment of local roads and not those of other counties.
 No definite action was taken in the matter. it being referred to the district attorney for his opinion regarding sew eral points.

 The bonding question was also re- ferred to the district attorney. As yet it has not been definitely determined whether or not bond election can be held without the consent of both the United States congress and the ter ritorial legislature. As this woul,
