BREEDERS JOIN In PLAN
County Cattle Raisers on Sales
Yards.

Waukesha.-MeSsrs F. E. Fox and
McKerrow of the Guernsey Breeders
association and Messrs. Will and Baird
for the Holstein association, at a con-
ference, succeeded in coming to an I'M
derstanding regarding the erection of
proposed pavilion in this city for
public sales and exhibitions At a
meeting a short time ago the Guernsey
breeders appeared to be DESTROYS of
building and maintaining a pavilion
ION their own hook" and were not
enamored with the suggestion of CO.
operating with the other breeding as
sociations and local business men.
This obstacle having been removed
it seems likely that the work of rails
ing funds and to select a proposed site
will begin at once. If the work pro-
crosses as rapidly as it is expected to,
the pavilion may be erected this year
1t will cost in the neighborhood of
$1,000 and will be used for various 9th
er public purposes when not being u.s.
ed by the breeders.

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS SUCCESS
Advance in Studies as Marked as
Physical Improvement, Reports
Green Bay institution.

Green Bay.-Every one of the fifty
pupils III the two open air schools
made at least one grade during the
year which has just closed. One of
the fifty has done three years work
in one. Six have done the work of
two grades and eight have made one
and one-half grades. This is regard
ed as most remarkable showing, as
the schools are maintained only for
children suffering from serious phys
ical handicap and the gain in health
has been as striking as the record
in study.
At least three-quarters of an hour
each afternoon is given to sleeping
and the fine record made by the two
schools is regarded as a typical dem
onstration of what fresh air, proper
food and sufficient rest will accom-
plish.
The greatest gain in weight during
the year was fifteen and a half
pounds. The least was one-half
pound, but the child who made the
minimum in weight made great gain
in general health conditions. The
schools are under the supervision of
Miss Myra Kimball.

Mound DWeIlers.

The name mound jewellers, for want
of better, is given to the prehistoric
and mythical inhabitants Of the cen
trail West, who antedated the Indians
The mounds, on which the name Is
based, were parts of Notifications or
tombs, and their builders are supposed
to have been remote ancestors of the
Indians. One authority says: THE old
theory that the mound builders were a
distinct race of highly civilized agri-
culturists who had lived from remote
antiquity in the regions Of the mounds
and were eventually exterminated by
the nomadic hordes coming from the
northward. represented today by the
Indians, is no longer supported by
ethnologists, who hold that the Indians
are their descendants. Where they
came from or how they got here are
matters of speculation.

reported progress in all stations. A
number of congregations have grown
beyond the need of financial aid
from the synod. Many need less than
formerly. New fields we're taken up.
The sum of $4,000 was appropri-
ated for this work during the coming
year. The Rev. Rutzen of Marinette,

bursting this sum.
