1t is becoming almost a daily oc,
currance when newspaper offices re,
ceive communications that are skill.
fully prepared by news agencies and
others strictly for advertising pur.
poses for all kinds of interests. We
received two today, one from Chi
cago and the other from Virginia,
long distance apart, yet they are
both of similar nature It's not of
ten that we get two a day but it's
common thing to get two or three
week. 1t must be that they get a
great many favorable results from
newspaper men otherwise they would
not attempt and keep this practice
up. We hope the weekly press of
the state will watch these matters
closely and never use any of the
matter except that they get the re-
gular advertising rates therefor This
is the most effectual method of check
Ing such practise.

Some Of our brother editors car t
value their time. space or material
very highly when they accept show
advertising to the amount Ct 81 or S.
in exchange for a couple of fifty cent
complimentary tickets. We have re-
ceived several letters this year con-
tanning press notices and an order
for two tickets if the notices were
used They found their way into
our waste basket as soon as we
learned what the envelope contained
If this advertising is worth anything
to the show company let it pay for ii
at regular advertising rates. Just
as soon as the newspapers turn down
their free ticket propositions then
possibly the shows, etc, will come
across with the cash, but as long as
we are easy enough to run the no
tees just that long they viii
laugh at US up their sleeves.
The American Press is we'll known
to be an unqualified endorser of the
views set forth by Mr.. Myers. The
theatrical companies and circuses are
successful in an amazing number OF
cases in obtaining free advertising
through exchange propositions.

FIVE YEARS CERTIFICATE TO
HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES

Graduates of High Schools who take
one years training in County
Training school may teach for five
years without examination. They may
also, after seven months experience,
teach in graded schools.
This new law recognizes the Coun-
ty Normal diploma without rating it
as certificate of given grade.
Those who complete the course at
4 "o""+v Training School, but who
have not completed a high school
course, receive the equivalent of a
second grade certificate and after
seven months experience may receive
a full second grade certificate with
out examination. The diploma itself
with the years experience is equiv
alent to a second grade certificate.

THE RETURN Of
PAULINE WAYNE

The first lady of the White House
dairy barn, Pauline Wayne, will re-
turn to Wisconsin for a brief visit
to her friends of the HoIstein Guern-
sey and Jersey families early in Oc-
tOber. Preparations are forming for
her reception and the blue bloods of
the COW families of Wisconsin will
bow low and gracefully to the lady
who presides over the milk depart
ment of President Taft's household.
Pauline is former resident of Wis
consin and took up her residence at
the White House when Senator Ste
phenson induced her to accept the
appointment at the head of the White
House herd. Her departure from Was
ington, her arrival at the Information
alfDairy Show in October and her re
turn to the White House barn will
be important events in the dairy cat
tie world.
Pauline Wayne is an aristocrat and
the comforts being planned for her
trips are regal in character. She
will have an entire car to her self
She will have a day stall, with an
observation window, and all the COM
forts of her White House home. At
night she will retire to an upholster-
ed stall with electric light. Adjoin-
ing her night stall will be her faith
full herdsman and a veterinary, ready
and willing to administer to her
wants during the night. Pauline will
be met by some of Wisconsins best
known dairy cattle breeders upon her
arrival in Milwaukee, and a distin-
guiShed visiting representative of the
leading dairy breeds will be taken
to the depot to receive her.
At the dairy show in the Auditori-
UNI, Pauline will have a special be-
douir while she is on exhibition.
President Taft during his visit to
the show will make a call with Sena-
tor Stephenson and Sir Thomas Shau
ghnessy, president of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad, who will be one of
the leading exhibitors of an Interna-
tlonal reputation as a breeder of
dairy cattle. Pauline will carry
$4,000 insurance policy during her alb
sence from Washington.

RAILROAD co.
STARTS BUILDINGS
Foundations for Buildings Being
Rapidly Laid.

Some people in the county, as well
as those in the surrounding towns,
are still skeptical as to the building
that is being done at this place, and
as to what the railroad company con-
templates doing Some rumors that
have been circulated to hurt the
town through spite or otherwise can
be set at rest by the following list
Of buildings which the company has
already under construction here.
The first is a twenty-four stall
round house, which is being built OF
brick ON concrete foundation The
foundation for this building is nearly
completed and would have been fin
ished this week except for the con
crete mixer breaking and the gang of
foreign laborers going on a strike on
Monday, and leaving. A new set OF
laborers is expected to arrive to-
day, and a new concrete mixer has
been installed. This building will
undoubtedly be ready for the brick
layers next week.
A large boiler house will be erected
which will include a generator room
and the company will install it's own
electric lighting system, as we'll as an
underground heating system for it's
buildings. Another large building
will be erected known as the engine
supply house, as well as an oil house.
A tank of 100000 gallon capacity
will be erected, with a pumping
station and wells Work of sinking
the we'll commenced this morning. TIL
pipe used is a foot in diameter, and
it is understood the well will be sunk
number of hundred feet.
A mechanical coaling plant will
also be installed, where cars will be
loaded and unloaded entirely by ma
chinery.
All the buildings mentioned above
will be of concrete and brick con
struction, which will take some time
in the building.
The frame buildings which will be
erected here are, an office building
for the use of the rain despatch
ers, superintendent, clerks, and 9th
er men employed at this point. A
large lodging house for the employees
with a dining and lunch room. The
building will be modern, up to date,
and will be ample to meet the needs
of the employees.
The depot plans have not yet been
given out. But it is certain that the
company will erect something which
will be in full accord with the other
buildings now under course of con-
struction. Adams County Press.
