BAYFIELD,

Press:
John Lindbom. well known resi-
dent of the Harbor City for thir ty
years, passed away at his home In
Bayfield, Sunday morning, at the
age of 70 years. Mr.. Lindhom had
been in failing health the past year
or so and finally succumbed to an
attack of pneumonia. Funeral SER
vices were held in the Swedish
Lutheran church of which Mr.. Lin
bonn was a member, Wednesday
afternoon and intermenG was made
in Greenwood cemetary.
Mr.. Linbom is survived by his
wife one daughter, Mrs. Oison, and
several grand children of this city,
and one sou woo is now.ih the west.
To those sorrowing relatives the
Press desires to extend sympathy
and coincidence.
Progress:
Manager Thompson received or
ders from Chicago last week to
start bnsi ness at the Bayfield, Box
aud Lumber company's plant near
this city and consequently work
started in earnest on Monday morn
ing at their saw mill. G They have a
large lot of logs already in the hot
pond and big force of woodsmen
are getting out the logs on sec
ton seven, and when the surplus
stock is exhausted on that section
they have big lot of logs suitable
for lumber and box stuff on the H.
Wachsmuth s.Sr. farm which they
bought in the fall, also other con-
tracts for mach timber which they
will have OH other holdings.
This certainly, is good news to
Bayfield, as it will add greatly to-
ward making things lively in pro-
ducing better times ands putting
money in circulation which will
help alleviate the high cost of living
in many~~ways .and make a better
and livier Bayfield,.
1t ia fortunate for this locality
that there :are eight or ten years
yet before sthe timber will be ex-
hausted tributary to Bayfield,. In
the meantime fruit, dairying and
other farming enterprises which
have already taken root will be
brought up to an efficiency long be-
fore the lumber is gone. Under
such circumstances we see no rea-
son why Bayfield, enterprises should
not start up with vim and deter
mination and keep right on making
good for the betterment OF all in
terests.

DR.. Fred Hamilton Kills E. R. Cooper.

DIR. Fred Hamilton Kills E. r. Cooper.
DR.. Fred Hamilton shot and
killed Mr.. E. R. Cooper last Sun
day about dusk at Jena, in La
Sale parish. The cause of the
tragedy seems to have been about
the medical practice of the White
Sulphur Lumber Co., of which
Mr.. Cooper was secretary-treas-
urer, and exercised a voice in its
management. Several conflict
ing statements have appeared in
the news dispatches about the
matter, but the fact of Cooper's
opposition to Hamilton is gener-
ally asserted to have been caused
by his indulgence in drink. This
the doctor resented, and quar-
rel over the matter resulted in
the killing. Both of the men
were married and had families,
and both of them were from
Grant parish, where they are ex-
tensively and prominently con-
nected.

Louisiana Should Train Her Own
Teachers.

Many reasons could be given why the
schools of Louisiana should be taught
by teachers trained in Louisiana.
Among these are the following: Natives
of Louisiana understand by intuition
and association the educational and So
cial problems that confront us; they
have more immediate and keener in
terest in the education of our people:
they understand the youth they are to
teach; and they, first of all. are EMIT
led to receive the millions of dollars
annually spent in teachers salaries.
Louisiana desires that its schools be
taught by native or resident Louisian-
ians for several reasons. Whenever a
citizen of the State is educated to the
point of being qualified as teacher,
he raises the general level Of education.
Residents of the State who are interest
ed in her material, social and political
progress can certainly serve the schools
more efficiently than strangers. Be-
sides, all salaries paid to resident teach
ers remain in the State in some form
of wealth. s
If teachers salaries in Louisiana are
high enough to draw hundreds of teach
ers from Isighboring States, why do
they not attract more of our own young
people to qualify themselves?
In order to make the best possible
provision for the training of our teach
ers, the State of Louisiana has estab-
lished the State Normal School at
Natchitoches, La This institution is
magnifcently equipped in the way of
buildings, grounds, lawns, athletic
courte and fields, gardens, etc. Its
professional department is one of the
best of any Normal School in the coun-
try. 1t offers every condition favor
able to the thorough training of teach
lers. No tuition is charged and the TO-
tai cost of attendance is less than the
average price of good board in private
| families in the State. The winter quar-
| ter opens December 8, 1918.

SMALLEST BEAST OF PREY


The smallest carnivorous animal in
the world is an American weasel.
which is numerous In northwest Can
ada and Alaska and Is occasionally
seen about the great lakes. 1t is q
true weasel. but only six inches long,
with a tail only one inch in length. All
its upper surface is in summer pure
lumber brown, but the throat. abdo-
men, and inside of the legs are pure
white; and, unlike any other weasel. 1t
has no black at the end of the tail.
Hence, although the animal turns
white In the north In winter, 1t does
not show the black-tipped tail which
characterizes an ermine pelt and SO 1t
Is not sought by trappers and fur
traders. This fact, with its small size
and secretive rife. has made its habits
very little known, but they seem to be
much like those of other weasels. 1t
feeds on insects, which 1t finds alive in
summer and in winter digs out of rot
ten logs, upon small birds, ETC., but
lives mainly on mice. These 1t can fol.
low into their narrowest holes and
runaways. for it is scarcely larger
than field-mouse itself; or, striking
the trail of one, it will trace all its
wanderings. and as soon as it catches
sight of its prey will spring after II
with amazing and fatal rapidity. 1t is
frequently caught by naturalists In
their mouse traps. An old Indian told
Mr. w. H. Osgood of the biological sur
vey. who thus captured one in south
ern Alaska, that 1t was a promise Of
rare good fortune. His brother. he re
lated, had taken one when a boy and
had in consequence become a bis
