WISCONSIN PARAGRAPHS

MADlSON-That the real condi-
lions In the country schools of the
state are not as bad as described in
the report made to the state board of
pubic affairs by the training schools
for public service, is the burden of a
resolution adopted at the meeting of
the county Superintendent assc cia-
ton IN the office of State Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction C. P. Cary
The resolution charges that the in
Vestgation was carried on in less
than one half of the counties of the
state and that the visits of the COM
mlttees were brief, in some cases
scarcely more than the period be-
tween trains. The county superin-
tendent also claims that the more
thorough part of the investigation
was made in three centers of the
northern part of the state, where the
township system was just going out
of existence through a change in the
law.

PoRTlA CLUB NEWS

The first meeting of the Portia
Club in the New Year, was charac-
terized by the usual energy and vim,
that attended the meetings in the
old year.
Various committees that reported
show that much work is being done
by the committees.
The Library Committee has sent
out a call for all outstanding books,
preparatory to moving to their new
rooms in the city hall.
Fitting up these rooms for the
library, by the council, is a great
encouragement to the few members
who have made this work personal
and they deserve it.
When the transfer is made the city
generally will be given a chance
to donate books and further encour-
age these unpaid public workers. Look
over your books and help fill the
shelves that are prepared.
Another committee that is putting
personal work in what they do is the
music committee. Just at present
they are trying to put enough ex-
ira money in the club treasury to
buy piano and for awhile it will be
a regular ways and means committee.
If some member asks you to buy
tickets to the Schubert Co. for Mon-
day February in the Elite Opera
House, remember it is to help buy
piano, for club use, public and
private and other public functions.
Parliamentary meetings are gain
ing in interest and members. A linn
tied number of parliamentary books
are left, and it is not too late to en-
ter the class.
The Portia Club is not clique
composed of few select members
but more than hundred earnest wo-
men working for civic betterment and
literary advancement. Civic work
includes several of the committees,
indeed almost all of the committee
work reaches beyond the club and
makes far better womanhood.
Next meeting, January 27, is Guest
Day, invite your friend. New mem
bers as follows: Mesdames Looney,
Bolton, Price. Creighton and Mrs.
Ed. Moss.
New members should ask for year
books, look over the committees and
report to the president what COM
mittee suits best.
This will help its chairman of the
committee on which you are placed.
The next meeting, the 9th, will be
in the usual place.

Mr.. and Mrs. H. e. Dunn returned
Saturday evening from California
where they went at Christmas time.
Despite the cold wave which struck
California and was the first in many
years they had very enjoyable trip.
In speaking of business conditions in
California Mr.. Dunn says he found
all the cities humming with business
and that many people are daily pour
San Francisco and investing money
in real estate. ''Of course found"
said the General Manager of the Pay
ette Valley Railroad, that all sec
tions of the west have their troubles
along with the Payette Valley. The
cold wave that visited the citrus fruit
district was unparalleled in the his
tory of California and did great
deal of damage to the orange and
lemon crops. But for all Of that the
people continued to come there and
invest their money during my stay.
every man l met who was
in touch with the fruit markets
seemed to feel that the damage done
to the orange and lemon crops would
make apples sell better
and the general impression seemed
to be that the apples now on stor-
age would sell for a much better
price.

SENATOR BORAH
KEEPS PROMISE
Returns to Idaho for Few Days-Not
To Take Part in Senatorial Dead
lock but to Keep Promise Made
That He, Would Return and Visit
Legislature.

Senator William e. Borah arrived
in Boise Monday from Washington
where he expected to remain until
Thursday evening of this week. On
his arrival Senator Borah at once
luieted the rumors that he had come
oack for the purpose of taking a
hand in the senatorial deadlock now
on in the legislature by positively
stating the reasons for his visit. He
admitted that he was laying himself
open to criticism for returning to
the state at time when there was
a senatorial deadlock on but said:
81 came home at this time because
/ felt under obligations to my friends
70 visit the legislature during the ses-
sion and this was the only time avail
able.
Before l left for Washington
promised my friends in all parts Of
the state that l would return during
the session. There are matters of
legislation in which l am deeply in
terested. l could not leave the sen
ate during the Archibald trial, and
just as soon as the appropriation
bills come over from the house we
will be busy night and day. So this
was my only chance to redeem my
promise, and here am.
Il know that it is widely reported
that l am here at this time to take
a hand in the senatorial fight and
on this account my coming at this
time is unfortunate, but it was un-
avoidable.
81 shall take no part whatever in
the election of a United States SEN
ator, unless there should be danger
of an adjournment without electing
at all, and there is no such contingen-
cy in sight at this time.

"LlTcHFIELD TRIO" JAN. 27.
Noted Enterta iners Present Third
Number of Y. M. c. A. Course on
Next Monday.

The present Lyceum Course given
under the Auspices of the Young
Mems Christian Association promises
to keep up to It's excellent standard
when the third number is presented
| by the Litchfields at the Elite Op-
era House Monday evening Jan. 81.
The party consists of Mr.. and Mis-
Litchfield and Miss Abbie Litchfield.
Mr. Litchfield for years bore the title
Of ''The Man of 100 Faces" and is
an artist in humor and recitation. His
selections range from the highly
dramatic to the intensely amusing
and the deeply pathetic. Mrs. Litch-
field is ably fitted for her work by
several years experience on the
stage. With this talent she com
Dimes marked ability as violinist.
The third member Of the Trio, Mss
Abbie Litchfield. admirably COM
pietes the talent of the company by
The addition of piano and song and
well rendered parts in the playlets,
etc. constituting part of the pro-
grams.
The program given by this gifted
company is an unceasing entertain
ment OF Music, mirth and mimicry'
SO selected and presented as to be
strongly conducive to ones health
and happiness through amusement
and wholesome laughter, in short it's
an excellent tonic for the one who
is losing his hold on the optimistic
and adds much to those who are
trying to keep on the sunny side.
Thus do the Litchfields contribute
their abundant share to the wellbe-
ing of their kind, and a worthy part
it Is.
After they had given an entertain
mont under the auspices of the great
Baltimore Y. M. C. A. the general
secretary OF that institution COM
plimented them thus, "The program
of the Litchfield Trio was novel, at
tractive, clean, and decidedly enter
tanning. 1t is one of the best at
fractions we have had during the
past two years and one of the most
amusing l have ever witnessed. We
want them again next season"
The Course being presented this
season is much the most expensive
for which the Payette Association
has contracted to date. All expec-
tAtion OF financial remuneration from
the Course was renounced for the
sake Of bringing a number of strong
attractions to the city and such as
would be disNnctively profitable in
many ways.
The seat reservations may be made
at Strother's Jewelry Store beginning
at ten o'clock Saturday morning,
January 25. Single admission 80
cents students 25 cents.
