Cows Remarkable History.

Farmers will be amused at the roll
lowing record Of a certain New zear
land cows history. About 10 years
ago q South island farmer purchased
q COW from another, paying $25 for
her. The first was told at that time
that the animal bad had several
calves. A few weeks ago the purchas.
er disposed of the COW to a MI. Hall
for the sum Of $40. and the latter mo-
ticed that the animal had an ear-mark
registered by his own father. In
quiries disclosed the fact that the COW
had been purchased from Mr., Hairs
father over twenty years ago.

County School Notes.
BY supt. c. G. Fitss.

Paragraph No. 70, finished its
first month last Friday, under d.
rection of Laura McKirgan. We
observed several towering plants
in the window on our visit there
last week. The school has been
dismissed for two weeks so as to
let the children aid in gathering
the corn crop.
Our attention has been called to
the fact that some teachers fail to
leave a term report to their sue
cessor. This isa very unprofess-
ionaI act, and should be looked up
on with d;sfsvor by every teacher.
Harriet Olsen, Of Tabor, was a
caller at the Office on Saturday
morning. She will begin teaching
in Geishert No. "a, this week.
Ida Baker is giving her second
years work at Bangert No. 50.
The building has been much inn
proved by a new foundation. A
new dictionary with a canvass hol
der and shelf has been put in The
school. Everything about the
place indicates that the people of
the community want the best they
can get for their children.
Anna Kreycik is back to Wy

three weeks vacation for the ben
eft of the older pupils who are
needed for work at home. Min
ME Bartekoske is the teacher.
Our attention is often called to
cases Of what may be termed a too
strict discipline relative to children
leaving the room during school
hours. Teachers should be fully
informed as to the health of each
pupil. Ii is the duty of every pa
rent to inform the teacher If It's
child is abnormal in health and ha
bits This precautiou will save
the teacher much trouble and the
pupil from humiliation.

After an illness of but two days
Mrs. AIoisie Bambas died at hen
home north of town last Thursday
evening, September "a. Because
of the shortness of her illness the
news of her death came as a shock
to her many friends in this com
munity. The funeral services
were held at the Bohemian ceme-
terry north of town last Sunday at
ten o'clock. The high esteem in
which Mrs. Bambas was held by
the entire community was attested
by the large attendance at the flu
neral, the crowd being one of the
largest ever gathered in Tyndall
on a similar occasion.
Aloisie Sedlacek was born in
Moravia in 1853. When ten
years of age she came to America
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Anton SedIacek, who settled on a
homestead four miles north Of
Tyndall. After reaching woman
hood she was united in marriage
to Frank Bambas who died seven
years ago. Her mother, Mrs. An
ton Sedlacek died but last Febru-
airy. Nine children survive Mrs.
Bambas, the youngest Of whom is
but ten years of age. -Tyndall

KNIGHT AFTER SHADY AGENTS
Revocation of thirty employment
agency licenses will be demanded by
Richard ]. Knight, state superintend-
ent Of employment agencies, when
the board of labor commissioners
meet at Mr. knights Office.
Thieves and burglars" are the
terms applied to some of the pro-
prietors of agencies by Mr.. Knight,
who gathered enough evidence to
put the crooked agencies out Of
business.
Mr.. Knight will bring the matter
before the federal authorities and
will prove that thousands of poor, ig-
norant men have been swindled out
of their money by being sent away
with the intention of getting work,
and when they leave the city find no
work for them.
81 will also have several theatrical
agencies brought before the federal
grand jury and answer to charges"
said Mr.. Knight. ct is a disgrace to
the community and shocks the sensi-
bilities of decent man to know that
men can be so vile. The woman like
wise has share of the dirty work.
Wait until you see what some wo-
men have been doing to women and
girls, some of the latter who ought
to be in school"
Out of the 335 employment agen-
cies in Illinois, there are about 800 in
Chicago. Most of them are high class
and thoroughly reputable and ap-

MERELY COMMENT

Now that the copper strike has be-
come a national instead of a state.
issue Gov. Ferris of michigan is
going to Calumet to find out what's
doing.
He should have gone three months
ago-about the time Jim McNaugh-
ton spent two hours with him at the
governors home in Big Rapids.
It's time now, however, for Uncle
Sam to step in.
In the meantime the U. S. senate
committee that investigated the
West Virginia outrages of the coal
barons have come to bat with. re-
port that both federal and state con-
situations were laughed at there.
Uncle Sam will find that the same
thing is going on in Michigan.
And Colorado is as bad as either
West Virginia or Michigan.
The deportation of oMther Jones
by the state militia of Colorado is in
line with the lawlessness of the Citi-
zens' Alliance of Michigan in forci-
DRY ueporung PRESIDENT meyer and
Auditor Tanner.
Nobody has yet heard of IaWIess
mine owner being deported.
The inability of public officials to
find any way to relieve the condition
of the unemployed has finally forced
organized labor to take the matter
up.
Being another illustration of the
fact that representative government
doesn't represent.
Labor's best protection is seIf-pro-
lection through organization.
BY the way, the Tribune is pub
fishing more news about the copper
strike now than any of the morning
papers, and so far appears to be Civ
ing the fairest reports.
