The Teachers Institute which

cess In every respect. The school

cess. Pres. John T. Sims of the Ste
vens Point Normal, County Superin-
tendent Morris and M. H. Jackson of
Grand Rapids had charge of the in
stItute' and Messrs. Jackson and
Sims We're persuaded to give lectures
IN the school house Friday evening
and despite the fact that it had not
been advertised they were greeted by
a large audience who appreciated the
treat to the utmost Mr.. Jackson's

audience that it is as much of a treat
to listen to his experiences as it
would be to take the trip.

them but a trip thru the farming dis
tricts will convince most anyone that
this element of destruction is being
wisely put to good use by the rural
ties in the work of clearing their
farms. This season is an ideal one
for all kinds Of fall work especially
clearing land and we feel safe in say
ing that each year find between one
and two hundred acres more pillow
land added to the total in this i'm
mediate vicinity.
We understand that beef cattle are
as scarce as hay or hens teeth a
round here for the reason that the
light hay crop caused most Of the
growers to ship them early in the
season and this means that cattle
will bring good prices next spring.
