adapted to the four-fold endowment of
the pupil, namely, education, health,
employment, and social life, were the
statements Of Henry Wallace of Des
Moines, a member of President ROOse-
velt's Country Life commission. in an
address at the farmers course at the
University of Wisconsin. A broader
moral education is needed through
the home, the church and the school,
and a more wholesome social life in
the country, he declared, was the
greatest need of all.
The country school, he pointed out,
was condemned in every state by those
who furnished information for the in
vestigation of Country Life commits
sion. All agreed that the teaching
force is inadequate and poorly
trained, and that the character of the
instruction leads the pupile t. city
life and fails to interest them in rural
life.

Over 1900 at Special Courses.

Frederick Vivian returned home last
week from Madison where, he attended
the Farmers course at the college of
agriculture, University of Wisconsin.
There was a record breaking atten-
dance of over 1900 at he farmers
course, wOman's course. and special
dairy course which came to a success
full close Feb. 10, again demonstrating
that brief courses of practical instruc
ton meet the demands and needs of
the several classes for whom they are
provided. The success of the special
courses in hOme-making and in the
operation and management of creamer-
les and cheese factories, both of which
we're given for the first time this year,
was especially notable.
Over 400 women, representing %
counties of Wisconsin, as well as s
other states, attended the lectures and
demonstrations in cooking, nursing,
and other subjects pertaining to home
making. Many farmers wives and
daughters were in attendance, a num-
Der of counties being represented by
10 women each.
Some so operators and managers of
creameries and cheese factories, rep
resenting 25 counties of Wisconsin
and three other states, studied the
latest and best methods of butter and
cheese making. Five of them did
special work in Swiss cheese making.
To 81 butter and cheese makers who
have had the highest average scores
during the entire year in the butter
and cheese scoring exhibitions were
presented certificates indicating the
high rank of their products

Deadly ViPers.

Besides the lance head viper, "the
most deadly of all known reptiles"
there are several singularly interesting
snakes in Brazil. The suru-cucu IS
supposed to cause death in six hours.
1t is sometimes found nine feet long.
Its skin is a dirty, tawny yellow, with
dark brown Iozenges on the back. 1t
is said to be attracted by fire, but
seldom to injure travellers. The tiercest
of the lance headed vipers is the jara-
roca, and it also is a dirty yellow, but
it is brown-black about the tail.-Bos-
ton Herald.

Under the above heading a great

federal exactiOns from the poor for

what will be the great political issue

Words Failed Him.

He was cowboy, and some COM
parattve stranger had stolen his horse.
His friends rallied around him and,
anxious to give him every chance,
trundled up a barrel for him to stand
on while he gave out his views on the
matter. He was4known as a gifted
swearer, and a large audience had as
sembled in the hope of hearing some
thing special He got up on the barrel
and looked around him. Then he drew
o deep breath and, with a sigh, climb
ed down again. Boys" he said sad
ly, cts no use, I can't do justice to
it."

THEIR PLAIN DUTY.

The members of the legislature
should bear in mind that they are in
duty most strongly bound to serve
first the state rather than party or
faction. To reflect as United States
Senator one who has sought to buy
that high honor by the lavish use of
money will not be to their honor.
Wisconsin expects every legislator to
do his duty.

EXPORTED TO OPPOSITION.

PARIS. July S.-The Osservatore
Romano, the semi-official organ of the
Vatican, which arrived in Paris this
evening, contains scathing denuncia-
ton of the tendencies of feminine IA
shions of today, taking as text a pc
ton against the immoral press for
warded by the Catholic ladies of Ber-
gamo to the Minister of the Interior
and signed by several thousand TIA
liam women. The Osservatore says:
1--WE hope that competent authori-
ties will apply the law against these
new augean stables.
"At the same time we cannot but
deplore another danger to good mo-
rails which has come to us from other
countries and against which women
might well unite. We refer to the
fashions worn in the streets, by wo.
men of all ages and by young girls
Those who profess with ardor Catho-
lie faith and morals should not BIZ
indulgent toward women who wall
about the streets wearing immodes
garments
'All present-day fashions are design
ed to excite the passions. 1t is 6
shipwreck of virtue. These fashions
are prejudicial to the beauty which is
a reflection of the bounty of God, anc
therefore fruitful in material and mo.
raj well-being.
Cleanse these unholy wardrobes;
rid them of the dress which makes
guardian angels of its wearers weep
Let your wives and daughters make
their own clothes rather than weal
dresses which grieve the Holy Spirit
and the Father OF truth"

For the day just ended

Here are some of the features that go to make
evening paper the predominating factor in an advel
ing campaign:
1t is delivered at the home each night when
whole family has plenty of time to read it.
1t is carried home by the business man when
days work is done and it stays there. A morning
per is usually carried down town by the head of
family and hurriedly read.
The evening paper is not read hurriedly, but Il
oughly, so that all the advertisements receive Il
share of attention.
1t presents the store news little ahead giving
prospective purchaser time to plan a shopping
for the next morning.
The evening paper presents the news the day it
pens. The morning paper the day after.
The evening paper presents the news first. The m,
ing paper merely Celebrates it.
