tributed at the expense OF the as
sociation.
While the high schools are criticise5
in certain quarters we know that the
great majority of the citizens in the
communities supporting high schools
will agree with Principal Parlin that
the present day high school, or
f'Everybody's College," is by all mear
one of the most important education
al institutions of today.
We do not know whether or not
Principal ParIin is candidate for
the Presidency of the State Teach
ers' Association at its next meeting
But, even if he is not a candidate
we believe that the teachers of the
state for their own sakes, and for
the best interests of the schools
they are teaching, ought to extend to
Mr.. Parlin a unanimous election to
the office of President of the State
Teachers Association. We believe
that at this time when the high
schools are being criticised it is of
vital Importance that a friend of
the high schools be placed at the
head of the greatest educational as
sociation in the state.

ELECTRIC LAMP FIRES BED

One of our well known real estate
men, who sometimes is troubled with
cold feet and especially during this
extremely cold weather, who has been
in the habit of warming his bed before
retiring with an extension wire and
lamp which he fastenes to his lamp
socket in his bedroom. Wednesday
night he retired late, after seeing the
wrestling match between O. G.. Be-
LANCER and Alice Teddy at the Roller
Rink, and used the electric lamp as
above stated. Intending to remove
the lamp from his bed as formerly.
fell asleep and forgot it. About an
| hour later he was almost suffocated in
bed from the smoke that this lamp
which had fired his bed and burned
thru the Woolen blankets and into the
Woolen mattress and almost started
quite d conhagt ation Ills bedroom
was filed with smoke and had it not
been that he had his window up, as he
is cold air fiend, no telling but what
we might have had to write his obit-
uary this morning. Warning! Those
who use electric lights for bed warm
ers, must either have them encased in
wire cages, or else remove them before
they set fire to the bed as they did in
this instance

AVOID THE CHEAP AND BIG
CAN" BAKING POWDERS

The cheap baking powders have but
one recommendation; they certainly
give the purchaser plenty Of powder
for his money, but it's not all baking
powder; the bulk is made up of cheap
materials that have no leavening
power. These powders are so careless
ly made from inferior materials that
they will not make light, wholesome
food. Further, these cheap baking
powders have very small percentage
of leaveDing gas: therefore it takes
two three times as much Of such DOW
der to raise the cake or biscuit as it
does of Calumet Baking Powder.
Therefore. in the long run, the actual
cost to the consumer of the cheap
baking powders is more than Calumet
would be. Cheap baking powders
leave the bread sometimes bleached
and acid. sometimes yellow and aka
line, and otter anpalatable. They are
never of uniform strength and quality.
Why not buy perfectly wholesome
baking powder like Calumet, that is
at the same time moderate in price
and one which can be relied upon?
| Calumet is always the same, keeps
indefinitely and gives the cook the
least trouble. 1td1tW

GREETINGS FROM
WIN. HARPER

! From a letter received Tuesday
from VIM. Harper, Ballard, Wash, on
business, we CLEAN from it that he
is well pleased and satisfied in that
country. He says the summer climate
| is as fire as can be found anywhere.
They have very little rain and the
days are clear and bright and not
too warm during the summer, while
the nights are always cool enough to
enjoy refreshing sleep. The winters
are not so nice, as the rain sets
in in the fall, and while it does
not rain all the time they have con-
siderable rainy weather before spring
sets in. There are a great many
Wisconsin people living in this part
of the country and quite a few of
them from Grand Rapids and vicinity
He says he sees some of them oc-
casionally. He wishes to be remme-
bered to all his Old time Grand Rap
ids friends.

|. 0. G. T. CONVENTION

The annual convention of the Hub
District which was held at Marsh
field, February 1921, was ONE that
will long be remembered by the mem
bers in attendance at its meetings,
and especially by the delegates for
the hearty cordially and good will
extended to them by the Marshfield
lodge. The delegates began to ar
rive ON Friday morning and the last
to arrive were those from Loyal, who
came on Saturday morn ing.
The Grand Rapids delegation, con-
sisting of a group of twelve rousing
young people was joined at Vesper
by Brother Ehrhardt, our worthy Dis
trict Treasurer, and arrived at Marsh
field about 1910 o'clock Friday noon
Provisions were soon made by the
Marshfield lodge to assign places of
abode for the visitors. After dinner
the members of the order assembled
a. the Good Templars hall when
Grand Chief TempIar J. M. Skinner
called the meeting to order and pro-
ceeded with the regular business.
After the reports of the officers
were heard and the committees ap-
pointed a short time was given each
delegate to give a brief report of
the work done in their respective
lodge, which we're all interesting
and encouraging. A very interesting
feature was then taken up. The

To HEAD
TEACHERS ASSN.
Principal C. C. ParIin OF Wau-
sau for President of the
State Teachers Association.

The program prepared by Principal
c. c. Parlin of Wausau for the re-
cent meeting of the Northeastern
Wisconsin Teachers Association has
been very generally pronounced as
one of the very best programs ever Civ
en- by a teachers association in this
state. This has led many to express
the hope that Principal Parlin may
be elected President of the State
Teachers Association at it's next
annual meeting in Milwaukee. His
election will guarantee to the five
thousand teachers of the state who
attend the State Association in Mil
waukee, a program which will amply
repay them for the expenditure in
VOIved in attending. 1t will assure
school boards that it is indeed a
wise plan to grant teachers the two
days at full pay, for the purpose
of attending the State Association.
These five thousand teachers who
attend the State Association are grant
ed the two days with full pay by
their school boards. This at a con-
servatfve estimate amounts to thirty
on forty thousand dollars. They
spend at least fifty thousand dollars
in attending the association. Surely
they are entitled to the very best
program that money will buy. Prin-
cipal Parlin's election will give them
and the school boards of the state
positive assurances that this will
be done, and that it is worth while
to close the schools of the state
two days for the state association.
The program of the last State AS
sociation meeting ait Milwaukee was
very generally criticised. It is hop
ed and believed that the program
next fall will be stronger. If Prin-
cipal Parlin is elected President next
fall, the teachers and the school
boards of the state will have posi-
tive assurances that the good work
OF providing stronger programs for
the State Association will go rapidly
forward.
The presidents address delivered
by President ParIin at the Oshkosh
meeting was upon the topic 'fThe
Twentieth Century High School" 1t
is universally conceded to be the
best presentation of the place and
Importance of the high school of to-
day in the democracy of today. The
Northeastern Teachers Association
ordered the address printed and dis

500 LINE SUR.
VEYORS BUSY
Work Gn the R0adbed on New
Main Line to Begin at Chip
peWa Falls in Spring.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Feb. 26
A surveying crew engaged in lay
Ing cut new right of way for the
500 Line is working west of this city
to locate a shorter route between
here and Colfax
The surveyors have found that
they cannot make the Chicago divis-
ion of the 500 lime any shorter than
the survey made by the Wisconsin
Central railway four years ago which
figured strongly at that time on a
shorter route from St. Paul to Chi
cago.
The crew has just finished the sur
vey for a shorter main line between
Spencer and Owen, which will take
Abbottsford off the main line. The
surveyors have also found the country
In this vicinity abounding i'm diff
cu1ties on grades and cuts that null
fy all attempt at shortening in many
localities.
The survey from here calls for as
direct a line as possible to New Rich
mond, where the 500 line will run
directly west to the st. Croix river
to new bridge to be constructed
for both the Chicago division and
the Montreal division of the 500 line
Beth roads running east from st.
Paul will use one bridge over the St.
Croix instead of the bridges at Som
erset and OsceoIa.
Work ON the roadbed of the new
main line of the Chicago division
will begin near here this spring and
it is estimated that about three years
will be required to complete the big
task on the entire division.
