FIND INMATES WELL CARED FOR
Big Farm of the State is Worked En-
tirely by the Boys and They Are
Given Lessons in Many Kinds of La
Dor Dining Room and Kitchen Clean

Kenosha county boys, stand upi''
This was the order that A. J. Hutton,
superintendent of the state industrial
school for boys at Waukesha, gave in
the crowded dining room of the home
just after six O'Clock Monday evening,
and few minutes later sixteen boys
of ali ages had gathered at one end
OF the room to greet Judge G.. E. Ran
dali, District Attorney A. L. Drury and
Chief of Police Owen O Hare, who went
to Waukesha on Monday afternoon to
make their annual inspection of the
school. The boys seemed 20 be glad to
see some one from home and they
crowded about the three Kenosha off
cials all eager to tell the story of their
life at the state school and it proved
The judge and the district attorney
heard first hand what the boys them
selves thought of Superintendent Hut
ton and the state school and the recon-
mendation given the institution by the
boys themselves was the most interest
ing story the Kenosha officials brought
home with them.
These sixteen boys were clad in the
overalls Of the farm workers and they
showed that they were learning to do
real things in the school. Every one of
them is being employed on the school
farm of $50 acres and they seem to be
well satisfied with the treatment that
is being accord I'd to them as wards of
the state.
g 1t is really a great institution, +"
said Judge Randall, this morning,
and it is marvellous the way Supt
Fulton candles the large number of
boys and at the same time Keeps up the
other features of the work. At supper
table last night we saw The 400 BOYS
and they appeared to be happy There
was no sign Of restraint 50 common
in penal institutions, but it looked like
big party of real boys. They talked
over the events of the day and had she
interest in their sports and pastimes
and their work as do other boys
Their table manners were of the best
and the tidy matrons at the head of
the tables saw to it that the boys were
taught a LOT of things that they never
could pick up on the streets. Durir g
the day the boys are employed in the
work of taking care of the big farm.
We saw on the farm herd of 125 Hol-
stems, declared by experts to be- one of
the finest if not the finest herd in the
state, and fifty cows from the herd are
being MIXED daily, yielding $50 gallons
of milk for the boys

ties have one automobile for seven city
families. This compares with one auto
mobile for sixteen city families in Mil
waukee county. The three counties
mentioned have more than twice as
many machines per capita in cities as
Milwaukee county.
In the forty-one counties investigat-
ed there were 1000 machines owned
in villages and cities and 5,4S5 farm
owned cars. The total number of auto
mobiles in the state is about $4,000.
There are wide variations in the
number of machines owned in cities.
Dane county, for instance, has one ma
chine for eight families in cities, while
Crawford county has one machine for
twenty-five families in cities. In gen
eral, the southeast portions of the
state contain great many city auto
mobiles. Jefferson county has one ma
chine for ten families. Iowa county
has one machine for twelve families in
cities, Grant county has one machine
for nine city families, Dodge county
likewise. Fond du Lac county has one
machine for ten city families.
In the country there is wide vari-
alton In the number of machines own
ed. Crawford county has one machine
for sixty-six farm families; Columbia
county one for forty four; Clark county
one for forty.three; Brown county,
fifty-eight; Chippewa county, fifty
two; Dane county, eighteen; Dodge
county, twelve; Grant county nineteen;
Green county, fourteen; and Juneau
county, one for eighty-fve farm

FIR. SMITH PAYS TRIBUTE TO DEAD PONTIFF
(By the Rev. R. S. Smith, Pastor of
James Chureh.l

(By the Rev R. S. Smith, Pastor of st.
James Church,
After glorious reign of eleven years
during which he accomplished things
that will surely immortahze his name,
Pope Plus x. is called by the Master.
The events of his life up to the time
of his pontifcate have been widely
published. He worked early and late
in the Lord s vineyard. THE man
with the hoe" understood in a spirit
ual sense, might convey to us in a
measure the character of this ''good
and faithful servant.
AS curate, pastor, bishop and cardinal
patriarch of Venice he was gentle,
jealous, loving, beloved, democratic,
progressive. His motto before, and
since he became pope has been Gin
stanuare Omnia in Christie, to restore
all things in Christ.
One of his first acts as pope, that in
terested the whole Catholic world, the
aim of which was to promote piety
among the faithful, was the decree of
December 20, 1905, urging frequent
and if possible daily, communion. An
other decree December 7, 1906, dis
pensed the sick from the obligation of

LOOK FOR ARMY WORM MOTHS
WITH ONE CoLORED WING.

Everyone interested in the destruc-
ton of the army worm pest Is being
requested by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture to look out for
army worm moths with one artifcially
colored wing. The department IS en-
tomologists are catching army worm
moths where they are plentiful, color
gin one wing Of each, and then liberat-
ing them in the same territory, so that
they may determine whether these
moths fly directly west, or north, and
how quickly and far they will spread
A better knowledge Of the habits Of
this pest should enable the department
to control its spread. No moths are to
be let loose where their liberation could
possibly add to the natural damage.
The moths are already showing them
selves in Virginia and in Maryland,
and the department s agents are catch
ing specimens at Portsmouth and Char
lottesville in Virginia, and Hagers-
town in Maryland. The agents at
Portsmouth are applying a red stain to
one wing of each specimen caught;
those at Charlottesville black or yell
low stain; and those at Hagerstown, a
violet color. Then the moths are left
to follow the natural course they
would have pursued.
'sLook for the army worm moth with
2 colored wing during the coming
month, 4" the departments bureau of
entomology is advising its agents east
Of the Mississippi. Any one observing
a marked specimen will aid in the cam
paign by reporting the fact to the
Bureau of Entomology, Washington, D.
G. When its presence has been noted,
the moth should be destroyed"

families.
The richest farm county from the
standpoint of number of machines is
Walworth where one farmer in nine
owns a machine. In Dodge county,
one in twelve owns machine.
The number of machines has a close
relation to the value of the farms. In
Walworth county, where automobiles
are most frequently found, farms have
an average value of more than $4,000.
In a northern county like Shawano,
where there is one machine for each
thirty seven farms, the average farm
value is little more than $4,000. In
general, the northern counties of the
state have one-sixth to one-third as
many machines per capita on farms as
in the southern part of the state.

There are not going to be any changes
in the school districts of the city to
meet the demands Of people living in
the territory recently annexed to the
city. This was the announcement of
John B. Maloney, president of the
board of education today and the dis
tricts which were in effect during the
past years will be effective with the
opening of the schools for the new
year. IF children from the new ter
ritory desire to go to the city schools
this year they will be forced to pay
tuition the same as in other years.
Annexation of any property to the
city by an ordinance passed by the
common council does not in any way
affect the lines of the school districts. y
said President Maloney. |'The law
strictly provides the manner in which
the limits of school districts may be
changed and the people in the new ter
ritory have made no steps to secure
such changes in district lines. [ know
that many of the people in this terri
tory understand that with the extern
sion of the city limits the city school
districts lines are extended, but this is
not the fact. I have carefully inves-
tigated the law and in order to secure
any change in districts the law must
be followed and the change must be
entirely Independent of action taken
by the members of the common council
In annexing the new territory to the
city. We shall, as in the past, make
an effort to take care of all such
children as may desire to pay tuition.
but it may be necessary later to limit
the number Of tuition students. So far
as the management of schools and
school privileges are concerned the
children in this territory have the very
same statuss as before. All of them
went to scBsol during the last year and
there is nothing to prevent them at
tending the same schools they did last
year and under the very same con-
ditions.'
Before making any announcement as
to the school districts, President Ma
loney carefully investigated the law on
the subject and it is certain that the
school board will be bound by his ex-
pressed opinion. This opinion is back
ed by the opinion of the city attorney
and that of the state superintendent of
schools. 1t viii go long ways toward
relieving a'Slot of stress now felt by
the members of the board of education
and the problem that must be met will
be the problem of caring for the child

WALWORTH COUNTY IS LEADING

The wealthiest counties of Wisconsin
from the standpoint of the number of
automobiles owned in cities, are Green
county, center of the cheese district;
Walworth county, with its rich farms
and small cities, and Washington
county, with its poor railroad facili-
ties. This is the result of an investi-
cation made by Hoard IS Dairyman in
to the number of automobiles in Wis

and cities, and the number owned on

listed year ago. This decision on the
part of the board win undoubtedly
come as great disappointment to
many people in the new territory who
believed that the pushing of the city
limits south and west would give their
children a right to enter the public
schools of the city without paying any
tuition.
