THAMES RIVER BRIDGE
 FELT THE HEAT. Metal Expanded Thursday in Way Never Equailed Before.

The heat of Thursday caused an uncommon condition at the Thames river draw bridge. The heat was so intense that the steel of the draw ex- banded to such an extent that for a time it seemed as though the draw could not be opened. The condition became so serious that men were rushed to the bridge to be prepared to cut away some of the steel if the expansion continued.
 At the east end of the draw where the expansion was greatest, the fit was so tight that the paint was scraped off the ends of the draw and the bridge proper. Oonly once or twice since the bridge has been in commis- sion has a similar condition arisen and never before so badly as Thurs day.

A large safety razor concern which has been advertising in the newspapers finds that the first quarter of 1914 shows larger sales and better profits than ever.
 Considering the fact that this period was not one of boom ing business the showing is the more remarkable.
 Long experience has taught the owners of this razor that they can get better results at less cost in the newspaper than through any other medium.
 Dealers are always glad to push these articles because the advertising in the papers ere ates definite demand.

MANY KINGS LIKED
THE BOXING GAME

For more than century boxing
has been a sport of kings" i'm Eng
land, and King George was but fol
lowing a precedent established by his
ancestors when he set the seal of ro-
yal approval ON the 'fmam1y art by
attending a pugilistic exhibition a few
days ago. The English monarch has
no sympathy for the crusade against
the: ring game which is NOW being
waged in his country. Doubtless he
realizes that most of the opposition
comes from earnest but misguided
people who have no first hand knoWl-
edge of the sport.
King George has always enjoyed a
lively tilt with the gloves, and in his
younger days, while serving with the
fleet, he was am enthusiastic patron
of the sport and often hung up small
in the bouts between sailors. On ma
my occasions the future king acted
aus referee. The kings admiration
for the glove game has led him to en-
gage a boxing instructor for his SONS
and the prince of Wales is said to
| be a likely lad in the ring. The
prince, ON at least ONE occasion, at
tended a professional show at the
National Sporting club i'm London.
lilo hic
SON and successor, considered boxing
one of the finest of manly sports, an6
always encouraged it when opportun-
ity permitted. In the dark days of
English boxing, when the opponents
of the game persuaded Queen Victor
| ia that pugiIism was brutal and
should be suppressed, Edward, then
prince of Wales, used his influence tx
help save the game. The late mon
arch often asserted that he wouldn'
give ''the toss of a button for a lad
who couldn't put his hands up.
The second, third and fourth Geor-
ges to occupy the British throne We're
all fond of boxing When the emper-
or of Russia and the king of Prussia
visited England, just a century ago
in 1914, a sparring contest in which
all the leading boxers of the country
participated, was given by George III
for the entertainment of his TO
val guests The distinguished specta
tors expressed themselves as ''am
azed" by the science ard excellent

COUNTY SHORT COURSES
TO KEEP BOYS ON FARM

What cam be done for the farm
boys who from choice or necessity
are not able to continue their educa-
ton beyond the rural school?
This question is being satisfacto-
rily answered by several of the coun-
ty representatives of the College of
Agriculture of the University of Wis
consin. County short courses in ag-
ricllltme are being carried on by them
for from six to TEN weeks during the
winter when farm work is not press
ing and the boys cam conveniently at
tend.
The immediate result of these CON
tinuation schools Or courses has been
to greatly stimulate the interest OF
the boys i'm farming and to contrib
lutte to the development and pros
perity of the communities in which
they live.
The first of these schools was tried
out at Rhinelande two years ago,
and already some of these boys en-
tened the Short Course at Madison
These same boys had left the public
educational system, because seemingly
it was not adapted to their needs.
They have, however, through this ag-
ricultllral schooling, gained an mSp1-
ration to take UP their educational
work again, and while in some cas-
es they feel too mature to enter hngh
school, they have attended the Coun-
ty Short Course, and received the in
,spirationl and stimulus necessary for
the development of better farms and
better farming.
During the past season represen-
| tatiyes located at Antigo, Phlildps
Eau Claire, Rhinelander, and Medforo
each conducted one of these cour-
SEES in his respective community and
county.
