A CITY More Beautiful

There is a number of resi-
dents in Washburn who believe
in keeping up nice lawns and
hedges, thereby adding greatly
to the appearance of theil pro-
perty and at the same time beau
tifying the city, but there is a
good opportunity for the work
icing carried on more extensive
ly along these lines. There
are many nice lawns that would
show up to greater advantage II
the grass was only kept neatly
trimmed, and this is also true
with the boulevards in front OF
the property between the street
and the sidewalk. The grounds
in front of the Washburn Libra
ry is fair example of this.
Last year the grass was let grow
and was not kept in a tidy con
aition but this year it has been
trimmed regularly and what a
vast difference it has made. The
library board has set a good ex-
am pie and it should be followed
by citizens all over the city,

corning falls, he is referred to Mrs.
E. G. Alvord. who had considerable
experience last week. First, on re-
turning at midnight from a trip to
the berry fields. she started to carry
a half crate of berries nome from
her neighbours across the street.
Now lantern light Is pretty dim,
but she thought she knew her way
home in the dark. But she forgot
about the little wire fences around
her neighbors geranium beds, so
when her foot caught in the fences,
the BURBERRY CRATE went one way
and Mrs, Alvord went on to the
next flower bed, over that, and
reached the third before she stopped.
She stopped then because the
ground came up and met her. Still
she wasn't quite satisfied with this
kind of fall, so the next day she
tried another. She was going driv-
ing with her friend and undertook
to stand up in the carriage while
Mr.. Alvord climed in. The horse
decided to start--she threw her
arms around her husband aud they
both went over the wheel into the
road. She is thinking of Offering a
prize to the one who comes nearest
guessing how she will take the next
fall.

Township System of School Govern
ment Abolished.

Chap. 388. Saturday, June ~,
1912, sees the end of the township
system of school government in
Wisconsin. The township may still
be the school district, but must be
organized and run as an indepen-
dent district. The town board of
supervisors, after granting public
hearing shall proceed to create one
or more suitable independent dis
tricts. This NEE ting shall be held
between March l and june l, 1912,
and the resulting order shall be
effective June % following.
In theory the township system
seems ideal, but so many abuses
and defects were connected with it's
practical administration during the
many years of it's existence in Wis
consin that the legislature cut the
Gordian knot by abolishing it. The
system prevailed mainly in the
northern part of the state.
