SEEMS TO HAVE A GRUDGE
AGAINST CANNING FACTORY
TWO CANNERY GIRLS SHOCKED
TWO Girls Receive Severe Shocks
Frightened Team Runs Away

Misses Minnie Woodard and Selma
Schlegelmilch, employed at the can
ming factory, were seriously shocked
by lightning while at their work Sat

the tank to the door and into the
cannery, which it evidently passed
through and thence out the door at
the other end.
All the employees felt the shock, and
most of them saw the flash of fire
or saw sparks dancing along the
machinery.
The two girls, above mentioned,
who were affected worse were ta-
Ken into the office. Miss Schlegel-
milch soon recovered, but Miss Wood
ard had to be conveyed to her home
and was Frustrated for a couple Of
days.
The flash frightened a team stand
ing beside the factory and it made
4 wild dash for home The rack was
quickly thrown off and at the coun-
ty bridge, which the team crossed
in it's mad flight, the wagon was left
behind, badly damaged The team
was recovered.

Air is Fine at Hawkins

Leo NJ. Blenski, of Hawkins, wrote
the following letter, boosting his
home town, to the Milwaukee Jour
nal, in which paper it appeared Mon
day:
ITO the Editor of The Journal;
want to call attention to Hawkins,
Wis, thrifty little village of about
$50. situated in the eastern end OF
Rusk county, and of which | am
resident. Hawkins is not very old,
but prides itself on it's many indus
tries. The box and furniture factory
buys up all bolts from the settlers
around Hawkins and utilizes same
in making boxes, of which it turns
out from four to six carloads each
week. Every one enjoys the fresh,
pure air here, which has not be-
come tainted as in the large cities.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
BY Oliver E. Rice, County Supt

The annual reports of the District
Clerks, with a few exceptions, have
been received at this office. Re-
ceipts for these will be mailed the
clerks next year.
Several clerks have not at this
writing sent us the report on Teach
ers Insurance and Retirement Fund.
This was due June 80. That districts
may not lose their share in the
seven-tenths mill appOrtiOnment is
very important that clerks should
send said reports at once. Every
clerk must so report whether
the teacher comes under the law Or
not. All teachers who did not teach
in Wisconsin during the spring OF
| 1911 are obliged to contribute one
| per cent of their salary. If any er
rors in this direction have occurred
| during the last year, the clerk and
| the teacher should adjust matters
promptly.
Examinations for all grades of
teachers certificates will be held at
Bruce August 10th and goth; at La
dysmith the 21st and 22nd, at the
training school building, commenc-
ing at nine o'clock Eighth grade
examinations will be offered at each
point on the second day.
Among the many improvements re-
ported to us are a State Graded
School at Conrath and one in Dis
trict 8, Murry. A new district is or
ganized in Wilson; Nos. / and of
Washington are planning to consoli-
date and maintain one school on the
south side of the river.
Number three Willard will close
and the pupils will be transported
to Number 2 Willard Atlanta Num-
ber l will offer the ninth grade work
this year The Apollonia school will
change to second class graded
school, with two teachers. A move
ment is being made to establish
Township Free High School there,
as there are said to be enough pu-
pills there to enable the district to
run a high school,
Glen Flora voted to establish a
Free High School, This would give
Rusk county six high schools, thus
giving the boys and girls of the
county abundant opportunities for
securing high school education right
at home
Teachers holding training school
certificates of 1912 who desire to
teach should send their certificates
to this office that they may be ex-
tended. Only those who hold valid
certificates in Rusk county may be
employed either as regular or as sub
stitute teachers.
Section SOP, Revised Statutes pro-
vides that Every district clerk who
shall draw an order upon the treas
urer for any purpose not authorized
by law, and every director who shall
countersign such order, shall forfeit
| for each such order not less than
| $40 nor more than $100.

LARGE QUANTITY OF PURE SEED
WILL BE HARVESTED IN
THIS COUNTY
CONDITIONS VERY PROMISING
inspection of Rusk County Demon
stration Farm by Professors
J. G. Moore, J. G. Milward
and r. l.. Jones

Conditions on the Experimental
potato field at Conrath are more
promising of results than ever OBJ
served before at this time of the
year. The potato work of the Ex-
pertinent Station has been organ
lied with a view to eliminate unde-
sirable types of potatoes from Rusk
county and to encourage growers to
unite upon limited number of stan
dard market varieties. With this end
in view the Station field has been
planted only to the following stan
lard varieties: Rural New Yorker,
Burbank, Early Rose, Early Ohio and
Triumph All Of these varieties are
Instinct in type and under market
conditions can be maintained pure.
An inspection of the Station field at
C0nrath this season gives reason to
expect an excellent yield of the above
mentioned Varieties.
An inspection of several fields in
the vicinity of COnrath was also
made. These fields were planted
largely to Rural New Yorker, Bur
bank, Green Mountain and Early
Rose, with seed which originally was
secured from Maine in 1911. An in
spection shows that these paintings
lave been kept quite pure and that
a large amount of pure seed will be
harvested in Rusk county this year.
Growers are cautioned against rails
ing too many varieties upon the same
farm. This increases the danger of
niXing varieties, especially where
uch similar types as Rural New
Yorker and Green Mountain are
raised. Growers are urged to select
one late and one early variety dur
.ng the coming growing and harvest
season. Mark all mixed hills and fork
aem out before the harvest season.
An inspection of potato growing
onditiOns has shown that potato
ields in Rusk county are apparently
rec from serious diseases up to the
present time Since the most profit
able market for Rusk county pOta-
toes will continue to be for seed pur-
poses sent to southern sections, and
since the permanent reputation OF
seed potatoes depends upon their
freedom from disease, it is of the
utmost Importance to keep this sec
ton free from introduced diseases.
Practically all of these diseases are
introduced or spread on the seed. TO
keep free from them, three precautions
should be taken.
/. Seed should not be brought in
from outside sections, especially from
the eastern states.
2. If any sign of scab or soft rot
appears in the crop that is to be
used for seed, the seed should be dis
infected with formalin before plant
ing.
3. If blight appears on the leaves,
it should be controlled by spraying
with Bordeaux Mixture. Thorough
spraying will be practised on the
Experimental field at Conrath this
season. Growers are urged to visit
the Experimental field and to be pres
ant at a public spraying demonstra-
lion to be given later in the season.
