least one month. This company
has just completed a storage

iardsriL Living.

Meat has taken a rise of 20
per cent. and -four has advanced
thirty cents on the hundred in
the past few days, meal is also
soaring. The high cost of living
seems to hold its own better than
any thing we know of. The de-.
mand for labor is slack in public
works about Clay City, and the
farmers who employ labor seem
to have all the men Engaged that
they can pay. The scarcity of
feed with many farmers has
worked hardships on them as
they must now buy feed to make
their crop this year. True E..
nough, last year in this county
We raised bumper corn crop,
but these conditions only pre-
vailed on the bottom lands while
the uplands were a failure, and
farmers of these hill farms are
now in strained conditions and
must shift to make ends meet
until their crops are made.

A Perpetual Calendar Conference.

~ feTpctuas Sosenoor NOuIeueuCo.
An International conference
upon the subject of an interna-
,ional perpetual calendar will
meet at Geneva, Switzerland,
next summer. Of the many
suggestions that will be discussed
one will be that of LEROY s. Boyd.
His perpetual calendar has thir.
teen months of twenty-eight days
each, which makes a total of 1854
days. The extra or 365th day of
the year is not counted in any
month, but precedes the first day
of January as New Years Day.
In leap years the 366th day is
not counted in any month, but
follows the last day of December
as leap year day. The addition
al month is named Solaris, and
comes between June and July.
The year 1915 is taken as an il
lustration as, according to the
present calendar, that year will
begin on Saturday, which would
become New Year Day, 1915, un-
der the perpetual calendar. The
following day, Sunday, would
become Jaoaary LIST, 1915. In
the perpetual calendar each
month has the same number of
days; every month and every
week begins on Sunday and ends
on Saturday. The same date in
each month falls on the same day
of the week. A printed calendar
for each month will be unneces-
sary, Is the days of each month
Arc idsntical eish shoss Sf the
sarst month. 1.-THE calendar is
good for all time to come, and,
like Bill Nye's Railway Guide,

ago as 1t was next spring.. 1t
will facilitate business calcula
tions. A month will mean % and
not 30 or 81 days. Wages by the
week, fortnight and month are
readily adjustable without even
referring to the calender, which
is easily committed to memory.

BOGUS COIN DIES
FOUND BY RABBIT

Adams Dec. IA scared rabbit
led four hunters to the discovery of
counterfeit QUILT on one of the
abandoned farms at Savoy, in a wild
part of Hoosac mountain. according
to the story told the police. The po-
lice made a further investigation
which confirmed their suspicious
that counterfeiters had been at work
on the place and the federal authori-
ties were notified.
The discovery was made when
John Wolfe, Julian Lane, Frank
Croninguay and j. Mignault chased
a rabbit into a hole under an old
stump. While trying to dig out the
rabbit the hunters uncovered five
moulds for quarters, stamped with
the date of 1909. The rabbit was for
gotten while the four men dug in the
vicinity until they turned up a num-
ber of tools such as might be used
in counterfeiting and a melting pot.
They reported their find to Chief
John Hodecker of the Adams police
and he sent a man to the farm. TAX
ing up the search where the hunters
left off, the officer found beneath a
lok two bags of metal, cut the size
of dimes but not stamped. In each
i bag there was material for thousand
dollars worth of coin.
Search was then made of the house
and here other tools were found
which might be used by counterfeit
ers. There were also strips of metal
from which quarters could be made.
Some were already stamped out and
in each strip was enough for six 25-
cent pieces. Various other things
were found and removed by the Of
ficer as possible evidence.
The farm is located four miles from
Adams and one mile from the near
est house. The last occupants of the

County Board TO be Asked to Take Up
Training School Proposition.
The old fight to secure training
school for teachers in Kenosha county
is to be renewed when the county
board meets for its annual session In
November The matter has been
taken up through the county and many
people have signed petitions asking
the board to rescind their former ac-
tion and provide for the opening of
the school for teachers with state aid
Under the new provisions of the legis-
lature there will be no question of the
county getting the state aid if the
county board provides for the cree
ton of suitable buildings. County Su-
perintendent ]. j. Kerwin in speaking
of the matter today said: GIVE feel
deeply the need of such an institution
in Kenosha county. It is almost impos-
Isible for us to get sufficient number
of good teachers for the schools We
have only the Wilmot and Kenosha
High schools and if some provision is
not made to educate Kenosha girls as
teachers it will be necessary for us to
go into other counties to fill up our
lists of teachers.
Members of the board from the city
have declared that they have not
changed their views on the proposition
and that they do not believe the build
ing of such an institution to be advis-
able at this time.
