REPORT or UNIVERSITY
INSPECTORS

Prof ]. w. T. Ames received last
Saturday the inspectors report Of
the River Falls High school.
Following is the letter.
Committee on Accredited Schools,
University of Wisconsin, March z,
1913.
NY DEAR Mr.. AMEs:-Our COM
nittee recommend DIS that the River
Falls schools be continued on the
accredited list.
Prof Gilbert rep orts that he con-
siders your laboratories fairly we'll
supplied for the teaching of botany
and physics. You have large
supply Of reference books, but the
equipment was not considered
salts factory in either science or
foreign languages. *#x*f*****W We
considered your school we'll organ
lied and in good discipline :.
Generally speaking we thought the
teaching force good average in
efficiency and it will probably i'm
prove another year. The scholor-
ship of the pupils was creditable,
but not strong. The pupils gener-
ally responded to the demands of
the teachers but there was som
lack of spontaniety and fullness. |
cannot close this letter to you with
out expressing to you our appre-
citation Of your earnest efforts in the
past fifteen years to maintain good
school. Your aim has been to secure
teachers who are we'll qualified for
their subjects enthusiastically and
professionally. During these ff-
teen you years have had at heart
the real interests of the boys and
girls of River Falls.
Very truly yours,
A. w. TRESSLER,
Sec. of Committee.

Mr.. AND MRS. FARMER

You do not expect a scrub cow to
produce as much butter fat as one
bred from many generations of heavy
milk producers, SO why should you
expect scrub hen to lay as many
eggs as pure bred, one bred care
fully for egg production from heavy
egg producing ancestors?
AT the National Egg Laying
Contest held at the Missouri State
Experiment Stations last year it was
conclusively shown that the Ply
mouth Rock leads the world as an
all year round egg producer. My
Stamina Strain of Barred Ply
mouth Rocks are absolutely pure
bred and also bred from heavy egg
producing stock.
My breeding pen this year con-
sists of twelve mature hens of the
famous ]. w. Parks Bred-to-lay
Strain of heavy layers and two
beautiful Ringlet hens. The Parks
hens were carefully selected from
large number of good ones not only
for their good looks but because
they were steady layers.
These fine hens are mated to a
Ringlet cockeral of perfect shape
and fine Barring and just the shade
to produce standard color and bar
red pullets. He and the two Ring
let hens were recently purchased by
me from the great E. B. Thompson,
of Amena, n. Y, whose Ringlets,
as he calls them, have, for more
than thirty years, won all of the
first honors at all of the prominent
poultry shows in the world.
The Parks hens were raised from
eggs bought direct from ]. W..
Parks of Altoona, Pa, whosex Bred-
today Strain is famous for heavy
egg productions.
Breeding stock raised from eggs
from this carefully mated
and high quality pen are
bound to raise the standard of any
flock of Barred Rocks, not only as
to eggs, but also as to appearance.
Quality considered my price
per fifteen is low and l absolutely
guarantee the fertility.
You cannot do better elsewhere
at twice the price. Buy your
eggs now and get early laying
pullets.
All are invited to call and see
these birds.

GROUND FROZEN DEEP

According 10 the observations of
local authorities on the subject the
ground has frozen to greater depth
this winter than has been noted
before in many years. Sexton
Archie Rollins states that in the
cemetery the frost has penetrated
to depth of four feet, while the
average for many years has been
between two and two and one-half
feet. In repairing leaking
water main in front of the
Consolidated Lumber Co.'s offices
on Main street, the ground there
was also found to be frozen to a
depth of four feet.
This fact is not expected to
materially delay the farmers in
their spring tilling as the first
warm rains will quickly take all of
the frost out of the ground, even at
that distance below the surface.
Sink holes and boys in the roads
will probably be deeper and more
numerous than usual until the
frost is all out.
