is probably stronger at the present
than at any time in recent years.
While there is no general shortage
of teachers at present, there is
shortage of men teachers and there
has been such shortage for several
years. There is a most excellent
opportunity for boys and young men
of clean character to enter the
teaching profession, and be assured
of success if worthy of it. An invi-
tation is extended to this class of
young people to enter the Training
School.

Modern American life, paid in
Full" which has been such success
for two seasons in New York, will

characters that are types of real
life, familiar to everyone and full of
human interest The scenes of the
play are laid in New York, and the
plot tells of the struggles of a young
married couple who live and keep
up appearances on a small income.
The husband, who is a weak charac-
ter, rather than submit to the mortl-
fication Of poverty, steals from his
employer and when his theft is dis
covered for his own protection is
willing to sacrifice his wife. Her in
nate goodness saves him and saves
herself. A scenic production in keep
ing with the artistic requirement OF
the play is promised.

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD

Some time ago the News-Budget
contracted for adless ready-print SER
vice to replace the service now in
use when the serial then running was
completed This story has ended and
commencing next week no advertise
ment can be placed in this paper
that the publisher does not get the
pay for In this way we will
have absolute control over the
advertising columns and all advertis-
ers, local and foreign, may be as
sured of equal treatment. Our rate
of ten cents per inch per insertion
for all display advertising will con-
tinue with an agency discount OF
Is per cent if the advertising is elec-
trotyped in it's entirety. On this
basis the foreign advertising is real
ly the most profitable to us, and
heretofore any concern that did not
want to pay our rate could by run
ming the same advertisement in hun
dreds of papers, get a rate OF about
two or three cents an inch for each
paper. This competition we could
not meet using the old ready-print
service.
We will also print six pages at
home from now on, leaving only
two pages of ready print. These will
contain the serial story, special fea-
tures and general news matter.

assembled last Wednesday evening.
The siege was brief; he boys in
blue quickly surrendered. Then the
victors brought forth dainty baskets
well filled with provisions and the

The old chaps voted that the ladies

Fine Trip to Northwestern Canada

Fine Trip TO NoFtnWester" Sa"a"a
George Kilgore returned last Fri
day from a trip to LaPas, Man., Can
ada. where he had gone as stated
in this paper two weeks ago, with
crew of men, who entered the employ
of a company allied. with the Menasha
Wooden Ware Co. This company is
known as the Finger Lumber Co., be-
ing named after it's president, but
is practically the same concern as
the M. w. w. Co., the different name
being required by Canadian laws.
Mr.. Kilgore was delayed several
days on the way out, as the result
of missing train in Winnipeg, this
being caused by the 500 limited be-
ing five hours late into that city.
LaPas is at the extreme northern
end of the Canadian Northern Ry.
and only two passenger trains
week are run there, Mr.. Kilgore just
missing one of them.
LaPaS is as far north as one can
go at present in America by rail. 1t
is a town of about 1900 population,
Mr.. Kilgore states, and is situated
on beautiful river, fed by melting
glaciers and the water of which is
consequently almost ice cold The
Menasha Wooden Ware Co.'s mann
moth plant there is practically the
only industry, LaPas being strictly a
lumber town.
