MINERAL POINT
HIGH SCHOOL

Lantern slides on the methods of
pollenization were shown last Wednes
day evening for the benefit Of the
Botany class Miss Springer read the
lecture.
The honors have been awarded in the
Senior class to LaVon Jacka and Dora
White, who will act as valedictorian
and salutatorian
The Misses Nettie Prideaux, Gene
We've Penhallegon, Eulalia Richards
and Dorothy Jones and Stansmore
Vivian visited classes recently.
Miss Knight was absent from school
Monday morning on account of illness.
Mr.. Gotham was called away Satur-
day to attend his fathers funeral, and
consequently was away from school
Monday.
Mr.. Henning was not at school Mon
day morning, owing to the fact that
there was train wreck between
| Platteville and Calamine.
There has been a law passed in this
state which requires that those desiring
to teach, have one year professional
training before writing for teachers
certificate. Previously only six weeks
training was necessary. AS this law
goes into effect July 1, 1915, those grad
uating this spring would not be able to
take the short course before that time.
For the benefit of those people the
Platteville Normal school has arranged
to give the course this winter instead
of next summer.
Considering the number of our grad
yates who desire to teach, Mineral
Point should offer teachers training
course as a part of it's high school
training. Immediately upon the pas
sage of the law authorizing these
courses in the high schools, other
schools entered their application. When
Mineral Point applied year ago last
fall the appropriation was exhaused and
we could not be recognized. This is an

strongly advised that every student con-
tinue in high schools until graduation
and then take full years professional
course, if necessary withdrawal per-
missal is granted for the benefit of those
who cannot do this. Those who attend
will continue one of their studies while
at Platteville, besides the regular work
of the course there, and when they re-
turn will complete the other required
subjects, and in this way will be en-
abled to receive full credit.
Those who have withdrawn from the
Senior class in order to attend are, Olive
Wedlock, Veronica Ketter, Genevieve
Meuer, Marie Schaumberg, Anne Golli-
ner and Mable Davis.

COUNTRY BORROWERS
GRANTED PRIVILEGES

The charge of fifty cents a year,
formerly paid by the country borrowers
of books from the public library, has
been removed. At recent meeting of
the library board, it was decided to ex-
tend to all farmers and those living in
the vicinity of Mineral Point the same
privilege of drawing books free of
charge that the citizens now enjoy.
We hope that a large number of our
friends and neighbors in the out lying
districts will avail themselves of this
privilege

More Live Stock Now Than
Year Ago.

For the first time in many years,
information collected by the depart
ment shows that all classes of live
stock in the United States are increas
ing in numbers. Thus the real facts
contradict, absolutely, sensational re-
ports that prices for meat and shoes
would rise to unprecedented figures in
the immediate future. 1t has even
been said a government statistician
predicted meat at so cents pound and
shoes at $40 pair within the next two
years. Such prediction, the real
government statisticians say. is quite
unwarranted.

The Foot-and-Mout Disease
in Europe.

Because of the prevalence of foot and
mouth disease in Europe and South
America, importations of live stock are
now limited practically to shipments
from Great Britain, Ireland, and the
Channel Isles. Even with these coun
tries trade has been interrupted several
times in recent years, for the Govern
ment does not permit the importation
of animals from countries where the
disease exists, and there have been
several outbreaks in Great Britain late

BIende Form of Zinc Has Gone
Away Beyond All Former

A GREAT REVIVAL IN MINING
Is Assured In Every Zinc Producing

Zinc is fast becoming a precious
metal. The price quoted for blackjack,
the blende from of the ore, is $67. per
ton The lowest price paid in this
mining region last week was $4,000 per

There is too much diphthcria in
California, thinks the state hygienic

school in California to help fight the
dangerous disease. There were IL
cases of diphthcria in California in
California in March and PSI in April,
there is Il lot to be done.
The old way of fighting diphthclia
in the schools was to send the chill
dren home, close up tight, and resort
to expensive and ineffective fumiea-
ton. Then the children came back.
Among them were pretty sure to be

who were practically well themselves,
but dangerous To others because they
still carried diphthcria germs in their
noses and throats. These carriers
usually had gone uudetectcd, so the
epidemic went right on spreading.
But new way to fight diphthcria
is proposed by the state hygiene lab
oratory, like this:
i Get rid Of the common drinking cup.
Get rid of the roller towel.
/ Keep the floors, furniture and door
knobs clean.
If diphthcria does appear, take cul-
lures from the noses and throats of
the children, teachers and ianitors,
and send these cultures to the state
hygienic laboratory at the university.
These cultures will he examined with
