The following letter calling attention
to the work done in schools to be eN-
hibted either at the County or State
Fair or both, was sent out TO the teach
ers by the superintendent:
Manitowoc, Wis, March 3, 1911.
Dear Teacher
Undoubtedly during the year you
have done some work in your school
along the lines that would serve as an
exhibit at our County Fair and State
Fair. / wish at this time to call your
attention to the fact that you ought
from time to time preserve some of
the best specimens of the various kinds
OF work and arrange to exhibit them.
The teacher will have to attend to this.
He should either see that it is brought
to the County Superintendent Office
at the close of school, or else keep it
in charge himself and see that it gets
to the County Fair In all eases the
exhibits should be so arranged and
mounted that they can easily be put
up.
For number of years there was Il
school exhibit at the State Fair at
Milwaukee. Thus far but one or two
counties exhibited. believe Mani
towoc County can do some work that
will easily measure up with other
counties Why can't we also have an
exhibit at Milwaukee? All that is
necessary is, after our Fair is over, to
box up our material and send it down.
1t will be taken care of by the super
intendent in charge. AS soon as the
State Fair Premium Lists are published
| will send one to the teachers. In
dividual prizes are given at the state
Fair. Some of the premiums offered
are on drawing leach form of plant
life, animal life, color work outline
maps Of North America or United
States or Wisconsin, or of any conti-
nent, collection of weeds, physiology
drawing, collection of woods, paper
cutting, industry chart, best compost
tion, etc Numerous other things viii
be listed for prizes. The above are
only suggestive for the time being.
Exhibits that are worthy and not listed
may receive prizes also.
Teachers | know the work asked Of
you is growing, The demands are
many, but if the work is well admin
istered it will be good argument for
good or better pay. When the people
see what teacher does for the chill
dren they generally are fairly respon-
sive in recognizing her as an able
teacher and are willing TO raise her
pay. In fact, this kind of work is not
extra work; it is simply the kind Of
work you are doing. All you need to
do is TO collect the best and see to it
that it is exhibited.
Keep all exhibits rs neat and clean
as possible.

 Emp|oye Stricken By Heart Failure

Arising this morning about o'clock as was his usual custom, and par taking of his morning meal, Grover Yale Haskins of 1855 Howard avenue, complained to his wife that he was not feeling well and that he would not go to his work today at the American Graphophone Co. where he was employed as skilled machinist. He returned to his room to rest.

Medical aid was summoned, but was unnecessary as the man had already passed to the Great Beyond. He had been seized with sudden attack of heart failure. The news of his death was great surprise to his many friends and shopmates for he was apparently a strong, robust man, and had always enjoyed the best of health. For a number of years he had been em- ployed with the Graphophone Co. He was a member of Court Seaside. For esters of America, and is survived by his widow and one daughter, Mrs. Maurice J. Ahearn.

ROOSEVELT IS OPPOSED
 TO TREATY
(Contiued from Page 1.) JAPAN'S OPPORTUNITY.
Official Washington Waiting to Hear From the East on Proposed
 Arbitration Treaty

Washington, May 1S.-Japan now sincerity of her protestations of de- siring continued peace, it was point ed out, today, by prominent diplo- mats.
 The publication in all the capitals of the world, today, of the terms of the proposed arbitration treaty with Great Britain and France is in effect an announcement of the attitude of the United States toward all civilized nations.
 It was declared at the State De- partment that negotiations will glad ly be opened with any nation signi- flying its desire to enter into such a treaty. Because of the repeated as- sertions of Japanese statesmen that they desired peace above all things, the ear of official Washington is, to- day, turned toward Japan as the na- ton which should be expected to make the first response. The treaty will be urged upon no nation, it was stated by Secretary Knox, and all suggestions must hereafter be made by other nations.
 Japan is much interested in the proposals of the United States for an arbitration including questions of na- tional honor and vital interests" said Baron Uchida, the Japanese Ambas- sador, today, "but it is yet too early for me to say what action, if any, my government may wish to take in the matter. The proposition is tre- mendously important and requires close attention"

AN
 UNBORN INDUSTRY.

According to an article by Mary Heaton Worse in Success Magazine" the BoOtt Mills of Lowell, Massachu- setts, were responsible for the fram- ing of the schedule in the Dingley Bill which increased the duty on lin- to twenty per cent. At that time the Boott Mills had visions of a great lin- en industry. There was to be a rem aissance in America of the manufac- ture of linen goods. The time had come, they thought, when American capital should interest itself in this
 great branch of the textile industries. terances the tariff makers saw the banks of the Merrimac River lined with thriving linen factories.
 The tariff went into effect and has so remained during the fourteen years since the enactment of the Dingley Bill. During this time what has been the result? For this unborn indus try the American people have been taxed as no European countries have ever taxed their people for the ben- eft of an heir to the throne. You would expect to hear, wouldn't you, that the linen industries had been born and had met an untime1y death that at the least? But it seems that neither the Boott Mills nor any one connected with them erected a single mill for the purpose of manu- featuring linen. For the sake of this clause inserted at the wish of a pri- vate corporation so that it might found new industry in this country. all American women the country over have been taxed fifteen per cent. to twenty per cent. on all the linen goods which they consume annually, and the poorer of them have been forced to give up the purchase of linen goods The Boott Mills contin- ued to manufacture cotton as they had before.

STOLE FURS TO
 GET XMAS CASH,
 , WITNESS STATES
Adams Express Employe States Witness Against South Norwalk Fur Deal CT.

ITO make a little money for Christ mas," was the reason William G. Everson stole valuable goods from the Adams Express Co.,, according to his testimony before Judge Curtis and a jury in the criminal superior court this afternoon. EverSon was an em- ploye of the company. He pleaded guilty to the charge of theft and went on the stand today as one of the States witnesses in the case of Sam- uel Fox, a South Norwalk fur dealer also alleged to have been implicated in the thefts.
 Everson, who was porter in the express office, told how he inspected the packages to see which contained valuables and then put them in a pile to be delivered by Everett Ewing ton, another employe who has pleaded guilty to stealing from the company. In order that Ryington could identify the bundles to be stolen. Everson marked each with two crosses. These bundles were delivered to Fox, who is alleged to have paid Byington for them.
 Everson told the jury that he took about 15 packages in all. He stopped when the company, put detective among the workmenl
 How did you know he was a de- tective?" the witness was asked.
 "I knew he wasn't a workman be- cause he wore kid gloves was the re- ply.
 The witness wasn't sure who first suggested the thefts. He remembered Byington saying, 'I can get rid of it if you can get it.''
 Attorney Jacob B. Klein counsel for Fox forced Everson to admit that he and Fox had made no agreement about stealing goods. The witness did not send goods to Fox but agreed with Byington that the articles should go to the accused. The State rested its case at this afternon and the de- fense started.
