plete scientific equipment, penetrated
to the valleys of the Chubut and the
Rio Chico and traversed the almost
barren lakeland that stretches be-

this country of the pampas that
throughout the settled portions Of the

dwellings of corrugated iron imported
from abroad. Practically the only veg

the American desert.
While the college men often found
water a scarce luxury, they have had
an abundance of buzzards' and o.

! huge omelet and the shells are worth
IS apiece in the United States. Under

In the Chico valley the American
scientists came across an interesting
| colony Of Boer ranchers. With the
! same spirit that led their forebears
to trek back into the hinterland from
Cape Colony, when the British occu-
pied it almost a century ago, some of
them have emigrated to this new
country rather than live under Eng
lish domination in the Transvaal. In
Patagonia they have found a country
not unlike that of their old South
African homes. They are all sheep
growers, for the shrubbery, sparse
though it is, seems to supply sufficient
sustenance to make that industry
profitable. In some localities, Mr..
Turner writes, the Beers form so
large a proportion of the population
that Peer phrases and words are be-
comiIa a part o; the c%olloquial lam
guage.

STATE TEACHERS
CLOSE MEETING
Officers Are Elected at Conven-
ton in Milwaukee.
MADDOX NAMED PRESIDENT
L. D. Harvey of che Stout Manual
Training School Speaks at Closing
Session-Other Addresses
Delivered.

Madison.-At the closing session Of
the annual convention of the Superin-
tendents and Principals association in
Milwaukee, officers were elected. w.
E. Maddox of Superior was chosen
president of the association. w. H.
Hickock of Amigo was named vice
president and Myron T. Keats of
Oconomowoc secretary-treasurer.
That the people Of this country are
not educated up to the standard OF
European nations, and that the only
hope the country has of overcoming
some of the greater social and eco
nomic problems is education, was the
view taken by H. E. Miles OF Racine,
who addressed the meeting.
1.-THE trouble in this country is that
our children drop out of school too
soon,'' said Mr.. Miles, land when they
are engaged In wage earning they
hardly ever get the opportunity OF
broadening their education. 'Educa-
ton is power is an old German say
ing, and it is applicable to the deVel-
opments of all nations.
In Kentucky go per cent. of the
school children never get beyond the
third grade. In Wisconsin 40 per
cent. of the pupils leave school be-
fore completing the sixth grade and
the illiteracy of the American children
is greater than that In Denmark
eff we are to compete with foreign
skilled labor, as We must, our children
should not be taken out Of school at
the tender age of fourteen years or
even less. The continual strife be-
tween labor and capital is based
mainly on the fact that employees
don't understand the conditions which
bring about Misunderstanding.
Miss Lucy Page CASTOR, super1n-
tendent of the Anti-Cigarette league,
in addressing the meeting, said that
more stress should be laid upon the
NJ erals of the American school chill
dren. She asserted that the cigarette
evil was one of the undermining fac
tors of the youths morals, and gave
a number of examples where crimes
were traced directly back TO the
smoking of cigarettes.
She suggested that the school pr1n-
cipals and heads of departments
should give their pupils a good exam
pie by refraining from smoking in
their presence.
l.. d. Harvey, president of the
Stout Manual Training school, made
the closing address, speaking on In
dUstrial Education for Those Who
Leave School Early From Choice
Rather Than From Necessity"
Mr.. Harvey emphasized that chill
dren should be led to take interest in
industrial courses that were adapted
to their respective vocations. He said
that the instruction in these courses
could be made more interesting than
that in the regular schools, because
the pupils would see the necessity of
learning and studying along the lines
that correspondent with their proposed
accomplishments in their future
lives.

Wisconsin Small Farmer Fortunate.

Wisconsin Small Farmer Fortunate.
The man who leaves Wisconsin with
expectation of finding better opportu-
mites for farming in any other state
or country, is sure to meet with dis
appointment. No other state presents
advantages to the small farmer equal
to Wisconsin. These facts can be
with the state immigration commits
sioner and can be briefly summed up
in the following statement:
Wisconsin raises more products
per acre than any other state. 1t won
the worlds championship for barley
and rye in 1908, 1909 and 1911. Dur
ing the ten year period from 1900 to
1910, according to statistics, Wiscon-
sin averaged more per acre in wheat,
corn, barley, rye, oats, flax, potatoes,
sugar beets and tobacco than any
other large producing state, in any of
these products. According to stat1s-
ties, its average value of land per acre
is SAB, Iowa $3.50 and Illinois $95.
During the ten year period Wisconsin
raised six per cent more corn per
acre than Iowa and Is per cent. more
than Illinois, the two great corn
states. 1t is a matter of common
knowledge that Wisconsin leads all
states in dairy products with an an
nuaI output of $8O,000,0O0, and it
grows clover, hay and alfalfa better
than any other state.

FOR HUBBY TO PONDER OVER
innocent Answer of Quiet Little Wife
Got Him Started on Train
of Thought.

The husband and wife were on their
way to the theater when the husband
began kicking because his wife took
such long time dressing.
What delayed you this timer he
groWled
Seeing the children to bed" she re-
sponded, quietly.
Whats the nurse for?" snapped the
sman
1.-The nurse is for our convenience
yours and mine, especially mine," she
answered. "But t&e boy certainly takes
after you, He asked the same kind of
"a fool question just as l was kissing
him good night"
Fool question, Ell? Well, what was
it?"
81 asked him If he had said his pray
ers. And he said no. And l asked
him IL he didn't want God to take care
of him during the night. He answer
ed: What's the nurse for?'"
For the remainder of the way the
man pondered on this answer.

Billions for. Wisconsin.

According to a recent report made
by the immigration commissioner OF
the state, Wisconsin's agricultural
wealth within the past ten years has
aggregated more than $2,750,000,0O
Tobacco, sugar beets and picking
cucumbers are special crops bringing
more than ordinary returns. The wa
ter supply of the state is abundant
and pure, and 680,000,000 gallons are
shipped out of the state annually to
all parts Of the country.
It's thousands of lakes and streams
are fast making the state the play
ground of the middle west" Its in
MIGRATING climate has been strong
contributing factor in the increase of
agricultural wealth.
An average of 33 inches of rain and
an abundance of sunshine gives the
farmer in Wisconsin assurance OF
crop certainty. The state school sys-
tenn has been used as a model in
other states. Close to the transpOrta-
ton facilities, Wisconsin offers oppor-
tunities we'll worth investigation by
the serious minded homeseeker who
is building for the future.

Love for the Brethren.

Our real spiritual attitude toward
our brethren always pre-arranges
Gods attitude toward us. "Whatso
ever We do to the least of these, We
do it unto me-" said Jesus. Our vol
untary relationship to our brother is
our relationship to Jesus Christ; and
our relationship to Christ is Gods re
lationship to us. We have no divins
license to harm our earthly BROTHER
or add one sorrow to his life, or throw
one shadow on his path unnecessarily.
If men are mean enough to impart
unnecessary pain, and feel pleasure
at beholding the pain of another. that
fact is a proof of their depraYity In
nature and extent.

Progress of Work on Institution.

Progress OF Work on Institution.
There is now nearing completion at
the Wisconsin state reformatory In
Green Bay a great building of granite
and brick which, when completed. will
be one of the most substantial and
best equipped of its kind in the coun-
try.
1t will be the main building of the
group decided upon by the state board
of control several years ago, and its
completion will require at least an
other year. After that another new
cell wing will be added, and the
grounds enlarged, so as to give the
prisoners greater opportunity for out
door exercise.
From a distance the reformatory
group resembles a huge industrial es-
tablishment, and trip around the
plant shows that it is one in reality,
only with this difference, that the
operatives are under restraint Here
260 young men, first offenders, are
kept as busy as bees, learning trades
of various kinds and receiving in
struction in the institutions school. so
that they may be better fitted to face
the world and lead honest, Industrious
lives after their brief period of deten-
ton.
The present group Of buildings has
grown one by one under the manage
mant of Superintendent G. w. Bowron,
until now it consists of the following,
The main building nearing compile
ton, granite and brick cell house
adjoining the main building on the
north; an industrial building: a power
house; Schooihouse and assembly

building.

Varsity Close 70 Settler.

Wisconsin's agricultural college,
with it's energetic working force OF ~
men, is granted, in addition to its reg
ular appropriation, $4,000 yearly for
purely agricultural extension work,
money with which to carry the results
Of agricultural experiments direct to
the new farmer.
A prominent eastern magazine wrt
ter, after careful investigation, has
we'll said that Wisconsin's agricul-
tural college is in as close touch with
the new settler as his common school.
This college has developed forty
four community cattle breeders as
Gociations in thirty counties, many OF
them in the partly improved upper
sections of Wisconsin, whose purpose
it is to encourage the breeding OF pure
bred stock in each community.

institute workers. For more than
twenty-five years this force of expert
enced, successful farmers has held
farmers Institutes. From one end of
the state to the other these speakers
hold $50 inspirational and helpful

with those who have long followed
successful methods. Especially have
positive results been shown in the in
crease of pure bred stock and the
construction of silbs.

Millions of Acres Open.

Eliminating waste land, there re.
mains from 100000 to 100000
acres of "cut-over" land in the upper
district of Wisconsin for settlement
according to a report OF the commits
sioner of irrigation for this state. The
fertility Of this land is attested, not
alone by a splendid former growth OF
timber, but by the substantial returns
received by farmers who have estab-
lished themselves in Wiscons1n's clio
yer belt.
The development in this section OF
Wisconsin and the increase in value
has been without ostentation, boom OF
display, and the agencies which have
contributed thereto have been largely
agricultural.
