planned Reeves. For any one to even
touch them is held as sacrilege by
these superstitioUs natives. Missing
that memento, the war club, they
would trail you to the end of the
earth to recover it. l advise you to
take it back at once"
This Ronald did. He replaced the
object just where he had found it and
turned to retrace his steps to his
friend, half a mile away. Just
then a wild uproar greeted him.
Fierce yeIls rent the air. From behind
a score of bushes as many dusky ma
tives sprang into view.
Donald was surrounded, seized, his
arms bound, and dragged along by
his angry-faced captOrs. He was led
past an encampment Of rude huts
and into large spreading cave in the
mountain side.
This seemed to be a sort of tenn
pie Of the saVages, for it was hung
with skins upon which was daubed in
crude colors the picture of a four
headed idol There was a stone pill
lar in the. center of the cavern, and to
this Ronald was securely tied.
He noted that overhead an open
space ran up like a natural funnel,
and about the post he fancied he dis
covered ashes as if this was the spot
where the natives offered up their
prisoners and enemies as human sac
rifices.
His captors squatted in a circle and
jabbered away at furious rate. They
made menacing motions toward him,
and Ronald could readily discern that
they were discussing his fate.
Finally after several hours DELHI
Grafton they appeared to arrive at a
definite conclusion. Most of them
went away, leaving two of their num-
bers to pile up frewood about the
post.

Reeves, one morning a week later.

what they were talking about when

Reeves, expansiVely. Wen package

All might have gone well but for
the impetuosity Of Ronald. He was
longing to get back to ''the girl he
had left behind" He suggested that
they lessen time and distance by TAX
ing a short cut across the route the
guide had followed.
There were several alarms and
nights of WatchfUlness after that.
More than once the Venturesome
wayfarers ran across little parties Of
saVageS, but eVaded them or scared
them of with a display of their fire
arms.
They were camping one afternoon
in a little knoll by the river side,
when Ronald went somewhat atield
to gather some wild fruit in which
the district abounded for their even
ing meal. He came back shortly,
considerably animated.

 They believed that both these later ships would be abandoned by their crews who would fall back upon the Belevedere. Alian's party had told our Eskimo informants nothing of our two schonoers. The Belevedere had been unable to reach F1erschel island. Allan's party had said. but they did not know whether or not the Elvira and Polar Bear had also failed or been beset on their way back. As the Bel vederc was carrying not only seventy i've tons of freight for our ship. but also freight for the mounted police at Herschel island. 1t seems likely that if no ship got into Herschel island the police there may not he so well supplied as is their wont.

KEEPGOOD SCHOOL TEACHERS

The tax payers of school district
No. 4 in the town of Grand Rapids,
have occasion to congratulate them
selves because the public school is
getting along so nicely under the
management of their present teacher,
Miss Bessie LaVigne There is a
possibility of our losing her the next
year unless her salary is raised be-
cause a good teacher is always
sought after and commands good
wages. We probably Will have to
raise her wages if we want to keep
her next year. We all know by this
time that as long as our school is
taught by her it will be well taken
care of, and it is thought by many
that she can manage the children
better than lots Of their parents do.
When we stop to consider the mat
ter the children are spending about
five days of the week. Every man
and woman, especially those who
have children who go there to school
should think twice before they
change the present management OF
the schools We all know that the
children the most between the ages
of seven and fourteen years. For
those are the ages in which the chill
dren receive lasting impressions. We
have seen examples enough of this
right here in our own district. There
fore it is very essential to keep "a
good teacher who will give our chill
dren. the right training We woulI
therefore suggest to the school dis
trict board that they invite Miss La
Vigne to return for next year before
it is too late. We want to give
our children the best education pos
sible and it is better to pay a
good price to get a good teacher than
to pay a moderate price for a poor
teacher. A good education for our
children is of inestimable value to
them for generations to come. 1t is
to be hoped that the tax payers
and school board of District No. 4
will get together early and extend
Miss Bessie LaVigne. an invitation
to return next year.

GRAND RAPIDS
LOSES IN DEBATE
Great interest Manifested If
Debate on Minimum Waqe

Grand Rapids high school stands
with a percentage Of 500 in the Sec
Ond annual contest of the Triangular
Debating league composed Of Marsh
field, Wausau and Grand Rapids
high schools. Grand Rapids won at
Wausau by a vote of to l, taking
Resolved that the policy of fixing
minimum wage by state boards is
desirable" The arshfield team won
by 2 to l in this city, taking the
negative side of the same question.
The score by points in the debate
at the high school last evening was,
Marshfield 826, Grand Rapids 800,
giving Marshfield a victory by II
points.
Grand Rapids was represented by
Leon Foley, Karl Zimmerman, and
Carlton Stamm, with Victor Bornick
as alternate. Marshfield was repre-
esnted by Rufus Pankow, Miss Ethel
Buckmaster and George Ballum. The
judges were H. F. Hippensteel, Stew
ems Point; F. r. Glow, Oshkosh,
and A. ]. Herricks Stevens Point.
Following the debate Miss Cecil
EggeFt gave vocal solo accom-
panied ON the piano by Miss Kath-
crime Gibson. Miss Eggert sank ex-
ceedingly well and pleased those who
heard her. A fair sized audience lis
tened to the debate. About 25 came
down from Marshfield.
At Wausau.
The Grand Rapids boys won at
Wausau by 2 to /. Just what the
points were are not known to us at
this writing. The Grand Rapids team
was composed of Harold Babcock, My
ron Hill, Neal Nash and Ray Mullen,
alternate. The Wausau high school
was represented by Albert Mohr,
Eugene Thayer, Frank Rowlet and
Earl Jones, alternate. The judges
were: President John A. H. Keith,

from this city going up with t he
team.
In the debate between the Wau-
sau and Marshfield high schools at
Marshfield, Wausau won. 1t seems to
be pretty well established that the
policy of fixing a minimum wage is
undesirable, for Wausau had the
negative side of the subject al
Marshfield, making a victory for eacl
of the teams taking the negative side
AS each city has won victory, the
city which will represent the league
in future contest will be decided
by the number of points made by
the respective teams.
Grand Rapids has reason to be
proud of its high school debaters
| for it would be hard to find eight
young men in this section who are

| jet than those who represent this
city last evening, both at home
and in Wausau.
