been a larger investor of American
securities than for some time past,
and the general strength Of the for
eign markets will, of course, exert a
beneficial influence here. On the
other hand. the prospects of con-
tinued dizziness in trade in the United
States. the outlook for irritating tariff
discussion and the fact that neither
securities nor commodities have yet
undergone an adequate decline all
tend to unsettls confidence in the flu
ture of the stock market. The new
administration viii shortly be sworn
in, and a reassuring and encouraging
message is confidently expected from
President-elect Taft. The effect of
this. however. can only be temporary,
unless there should be a material
change in other vital conditions. The
natural tendency of prices is TO seek
a more normal level. and the situa-
ton would be unquestionably bene-
fitted by a gradual readjustment. 1t
is simply a question of how long artl-
fetal resistance, powerfully aided by
cheap money, can hold in check nat
ural forces. The market Is quite
likely to witness sharp rallies on any
favorable developments of import
ance. but the prevailing tendency
must be towards a lower level until
the tariff is settled and business be-
gins to show signs of genuine I'M
proyement. HENRY CLEWS.

MODEL RURAL SCHOOL
FOR GRANT COUNTY
State Horticultural Society to
Have Charge of Plan.
Will Assist in Making Surroundings of
Six Schools in Wisconsin Places
of Beauty.

A certain Grant County rural
school, not yet selected, is to have an
unusual honor conferred upon it by
the Wisconsin State Horticultural
Society. The plan of this society is
as follows Six rural schools will be
selected in as many counties in Wis
consin and the grounds of these schools
will be improved by the planting of
trees, shrubs etc. after a carefully
prepared landscape plan.
The plans, and also the trees,
shrubs, vines etc. will be furnished
fl e to the district for a period of ten
years providing that control of the
grounds be given TO the society for
that period, so far as the planting
OF removal of trees, plants etc. is con-
cerned. The society also agrees to
furnish competent person to super
intend the work.
The school districts will be asked
to furnish the necessary labor, the
cost of maintenance as cultiyati on
ETC., cost of construction and main
tenance Of walks and drives called for
by the plans and to keep fences in
such repair as to exclude live stock.
: The society will also, by contract,
possess the privilege to cause the re-
moval or the change Of location of
any of the out buildings, and the
right of location of any buildings
which may be erected in the future.
Supt. Brockert received last Thurs
day the notice that Grant County had
been selected as one of the counties
in which one Of these model schools
would be located. He was asked to
name district in this county which
would comply with the terms of the
contract outlined.
This selection as can be seen is no
easy task and Supt. Brockert does
not expect to be able to make his
decision for several weeks.
The school that is selected will
have good cause to congratulate itself
on securing such an opportunity to
improve it's ground. The society ex-
poets to spend 70 to 100 dollars, the
coming year alone on each of the six
districts and after that time for the
remaining nine years will expend no
small sum in keeping up the good
work.
The cooperation of the district
should be and, no doubt will, be
cheerfuLly given for such an oppor-
tunity is not extended to every
school in the state.
