j. Bigford, Milaca: Diana Larsen,
Foreston; Alvina G. Bauer, Cove.
Limited Estella Prescott, Cora
Wetter, Princeton; Anna Asp, Cora
Heilig, Cora E. Wiley, Milaca.
Some delay was caused by over
sight in not sending in former stand
lngs with examination returns. The
results OF the tests are of the most
satisfactory character. There we're
ltty-six applicants as the total for
the county for renewals and raising
standards, and six only failed to
materialize. Twenty -four received
certificates with twenty six holding
marks that insures certificates at the
next examination in August of this
year.
The Reading circle rule for this year
is under careful observance by the
teachers in the county. Those who
have not complied with the require
ments should do so between this time
and August l, 1910.
Note the following: Limited certifi-
Gates to be changed to complete re-
quire five months teaching and the
presentation of one Reading circle
certificate. Renewals for second
grade certificates require certificates
showing the reading of two of the
Reading circle books, and renewal of
first grade must have certificates for
four of the books. This rule is i'm
perative and must be observed.

A fine of $l5, 900 each and six years
Imprisonment in the United States
penitentiary at Leavenworth was i'm
posed upon two violators Of the oleo-
margarine law by Judge Lands of
Chicago last week. Two others we're
given eighteen months in the house of
correction, and the four rascals have
been landed in durance vile. Good
for Judge Landis. We're there more
sentences of this sort imposed VIOLA

One of the important questions !

One of the important questions in
which President Taft is particularly
interested is that of good roadside is
an ardent advocate of the movement
for uniform highway improvements
and of corporation between 1Sthe
states in establishing goods roads
He made statements recently to this
effect before the executive committee
Of the International League for High
way Improvement at Washington and
promised to indorse legislation look
ing to the cooperation of the states
in building national highways.
Legislation is certainly needed along
this line and the sooner congress
awakes to the sitaution the better. 81

The Marathon waltz--a dancing
stunt recently intrOduced-s should not
only be frowned upon but tabooed.
The modus Operandi of the Marathon
is to keep up the dizzy whirl con-
tinuosly until, from sheer exhaustion,
you are compelled to desist. Some
high records have so far been made
in this terpsichorean stunt-one
couple danced six hours and another
eight, while several women danced
themselves into the hospital.

"A bank cashier down in Wisconsin
who was willing to run the big institu-
tion for n salary Of $l2 per week
managed to lift 100000 of the bank
funds to his own use before the other
officials caught on to his racket. lie

True, but the bank examiner who
audited tho books periodically must
have felt very cheap when the officials
of tho institution discovered the

A sharp shock of earthquake was
felt in San Francisco and other parts
of California last week which caused
general excitement among the inhabi-
tants. After all, California, with it's
salubrious climate and roses in
February, is not SO safe place to
live in as Minnesota. The seismic
belt runs along the Pacific coast and
no one knows when the Lord may
turn on the current and tear things to
pieces.

road FUND NOT BENEF1rED.

ROAD FUND NOT BENEFITED.
That excellent newspaper, the Albert
Lea s-Enterprise, in an article
urging the county commissioners of
Fresborn county to put forth every
effort to better the condition of the
roads in that county this year, re-
peats the mistake made by many
other state newspapers when it saws:
"Then there will be a fund which
will come into the road fund of the
county of about $1,000 from the law
which provides that 10 per cent of the
license money in the various villages
and cities of the county," etc.
AS the Union has repeatedly
pointed out the 10 per cent referred
to, if paid at all, must be credited to
the general revenue fund of the
county and not to the road and
bridge fund. See chap. $50 laws of
1907. The misconception of the pro-
vision of the chapter in question is
owing to the fact that some months
ago St. Paul daily newspaper, at
the insttigation of the Brewers and
Liquor Dealers association, publish
ed an article which purported to give
the amount that each county would
receive from liquor licenses for it's
roads and bridges. The object in
view was to convey the impression
that country roads would be benefited
by revenue derived from liouor
licenses issued by municipalities of
less than 10000 inhabitants.

A Good Proposition.

The proposition to levy a one-mill
state tax for road purposes is a good
one and deserves universal commen-
dation. If there is any one thing in
this state that we need and in which
we are away behind the times it is
good roads, and any way in which
more money may be obtained for the
betterment of the roads looks good to
US. The only difficulty which might
arise would be in equitable division
of the fund thus raised among the
different counties Of the state. This
is detail, however, which could be
easily taken care of.-Graceville
Enterprise.

Down in Tennessee a freshman

be part of the higher education.
Chances are that the disGgured boy

order to get money to send him to
school. Too often this higher eduea-
ton consists chiefly of smoking
cigarettes, drinking booze and taking
chorus girls to supper. -Winnebago
