PLATTEV|LLE
FACTORY TO
START WORK
Tomatoes Not so Good This Year
But Farmers Will Realize "a
Good Return from Crop

Platteville. Sept. A repre-
sentative of the c. H. Green Can
ming factory of Denver was in town
today making preparations for the
opening of the Platteville canning
factory within a day or two. Just
when it is to open has not been
learned, but the fact that several
farmers have already been in town
getting crates in which to haul
their tomatoes to the factory indi-
Gates that it will be opened soon.
The opening of this factory means
great deal to the farmers in this
vicinity as il gives them a con-
venient market for this crop. The
rate usually paid at the factory for
tomatoes is so cents per 100 pounds
and when the factory is running its
purchases in an average year runs
up to from $4,000 to 100000. and
it furnishes employment for from
90 to 40 persons.
The tomato crop this year near
Platteville is not quite so good as
had been expected. The tomatoes
are rather small and are late on
ripening.

REUNIONS

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOh
PICNIC PARTIES TO SPEND
DAY GROUNDS TO BE MADE
PLACE FOR EPJOYMENT

"One long, joyous basket picnic"
nounces the coming county fair TO
be held at Island Grove park Sep
tember 1927. ..
This year the people coming in
from the country or even those liv-
ing in the city will find things much
more convenient for the enjoyment
of basket picnics than ever before.
Before the fair opens the new COM
fort stations. bubbling drinking
fountains. new horse trough, shad-
ed lawns, city water and all that
goes toward the solid comfort Of
picnic parties will be ready.
This feature of fair iun has been
neglected in the past according to
the secretary. 1t was found by the
fair management that one of the
most important things was to ar
range for those who wanted to take
in the whole show from soup TO
nuts" and the best way to accom-
modate these visitors is to make
picnicking a real pleasure instead of
an exertion. With this end in view
every facility has been arranged.
Open air amusements will also
be feature of the fair. There will
be balloon ascensions, races and all
sorts OF interesting things for those
who spend the whole day at the
grounds. The picnic feature will
provide a fine opportunity for visit
ing and lunching together, so that
the fair grounds can be made sort
of reunion place for friends living
in different parts of the county.

later in the day taken to hospital
in Cheyenne, where he died Tues

been inflicted on the head, his jaw
bone was broken, one arm fractur'

is believed from the nature of the

from the rake and was run over ano
that the wounds were inflicted by
the sharp teeth of the implement

REFORMING THE WORK OUT OF THE SCHOOLS.

We never had any doubt but many reforms were
needed in the character work done public schools
but really isn't there danger that the reforms will go
far that there will be little in the schools than enter
tainent and amusement with work! What good is an
education after ALL which does not teach that accomplish
only be brought about through work. and gen.
orally the hardest kind of work at that!
Isn't it true that many Of the best scholars and most
successful men in the land from the old district
school where personal work in behalf of the pupil was i'm
possible and where each taught from the very first
day of attendance upon school that his educational saliva
ton depended upon himself? If this be true and we be-
leve is the secret of it is the selfdependence that
taught and the immense capacity for hard work that
developed in such pupils
We note that prominent educator proposes to
eliminate from the arlthmetics about all that there is
them except the four fundamental principles and sup
pose he will wish to cut them down to little than
doubt but of the trying and technical require
ments that contained in the old Rays French s and
Whites arithmetics and other text books the subject
might be eliminated with profit but still pupil has had
the proper mental drill has had the necessary mental de-
Ncopment, the mental growth the capacity to
plis results all around business life who leaves the
eighth grade much short of the old requirements.
Much of the trouble that pupils encounter in the study
of foreign languages is caused by their lack of knowledge
Of their language Their lack of interest in the study
of English literature is due to the thing Their tro-
bic along nearly every line is that they have been PAM
pered pettcd and spoiled with the NICE luxurious things
of school life and have been allowed to slip through by
running their mental digestive powers for the substantial
things.
1t is all right the old text books they needed
it bad enough, but would better be used that all the
substance be taken out and too much artificial food is
not supplied instead
