at all, but who had wandered about

The worst, most widespread and Inn
measurably the most destructive war
the world ever knew has ragged abroad
for three-quarters Of year, yet this
country has had no sign of such panic
as eight years ago wrecked It's COM
mercial life In time of profound peace:
and now, with the fight still raging.
prosperity is coming back with firm
and rapid step. Why?
Because Democratic congress and
president passed, signed and put into
operation the federal reserve act, the
law which prevents panics; and be-
cause a Democratic administration has
kept peace with honor when clamor-
ing jingoes we're trying to force the
land into war.

Why She Went to Church.

A devout old lady had become very
deaf, and, as her church was some dis
lance from her home, decided to at
tend another one, which was nearer.
She spoke to the minister of the SEQ

received and urged to come whenever
possible.
"Ah, WE'LL" she said, "all churches

Custard Pie

For an earthen plate, 7h inches
over top and an inch deep, i use two
eggs, nearly a pint Of milk and sugar
to taste, as some like much sweeter
than others. First grease the plate
and line with good pie crust. All pies
that are moist need a richer crust, as
the liquid soaks in and makes 1t tough
er. Allow an inch or more when cut
ting off extra crust to double, and
build up the pie so il will be thick
when done. Crimp the edge with
thumb and forefinger. Beat the eggs
add tiny bit Of salt, the sugar and
milk, stirring 1t thoroughly. then I'LL
plate and CRATE nutmeg over the top.
Do not have the oven too hot, else
custard will whey. Experience will
have to be your teacher, as no given
rule would work at all times. Don't
have the oven cool enough to melt the
edge Of crust, else the pie will run
out. When gently swelled all over 1t
will be done II you touch the center
with your finger and It feels firm you
may know it is thoroughly cooked.

EDUCATIONAL BILLS

Two bills Of far reaching importance
TO the schools of the state have been
introduced in the present legislature.
Ii is proposed to enact a law providing
that persons who have not had exper-
fence in teaching must have six weeks
of normal training before they can re-
ceive certificates to teach. Even now
cities and towns employ only persons
who have had year or so OF training.
There Is no teaching position so diff
cult as the country school, and the
country child is entitled to, as good
care as the city child. The proposed
law will help TO bring about better
teachers for the public schools by in
sisting on some training before they
begin to teach.
The other bill relates to school
buildings. Before a new building can
be erected the board must submit to
the State Superintendent of Public In
struction and to the Secretary Of the
State Board of Health the plans OF the
proposed building. Not until the
plans have been Endorsed by these of
ficers can the building be erected. AL
so, IL any building now in use is on
inspection found unsafe it may be con-
demned by the same officers who shall
also have authority TO see that the
building is put in a safe and sanitary
condition before Ii can be used for
school purposes.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES
items OF Interest to Friends and
Patrons of our Schools.
AND JAILs VERSUS
SCHOOLS

The following paragraphs from the
Waupaca County School Bulletin are
worthy Of serious consideration In con-
nection with criticisms on the short
comings of the public school system.
I'VE venture the assertion that there
are school districts in which are owned
automobiles which cost the owner
more than the entire school plant of
that district is worth and that the
automobile costs as much for annual
upkeep as the entire annual expense
Of running the school Where such
a condition prevails the public can not
complain very much OF the expense Of
education.
There are many counties in Wis
consin where the county Jail, equipped
with bath, running water, electric
lights, vacuum cleaners, steam heat,
etc, are infinitely superior in comfort
and sanitation to the large majority Of
school buildings in those counties So
great is the difference in many cases
that it is small wonder people prefer
going TO Jail to going to school.
Oughtn't conditions to be equalized a
little more and the children given as
good as the Jail birds?'
We wish TO add that the same con-
ditions prevail quite generally in
Michigan. The Legislature now in
session i'm Lansing can render the state
distinct service in passing laws that
will improve conditions in the schools
as far as health is concerned. The
Governors recommendation in his
message to the Legislature on this
matter should be carried out.

there would be no trouble over the
food supply, but six months OF con-
tinued fighting has changed the ideas
OF the people OF the nations involved.
1t is a foregone conclusion that the
war has greatly reduced the produce
ton of crops in the countries that are
fighting and IL the struggle continues
another year some OF the belligerents
will be facing a condition OF famine
The recent attitude of Germany and
Great Britain goes to show that the
importation OF foodstuffs from the Unit
ed States and other nations will be
greatly reduced in the future, If not
because of the actual risk that ships
will run. but because Of a reluctance
on the part Of vessel owners to send
their ships into the prescribed zones.
In the face OF this interest OF foreign
nations in their food supplies the ques-
ton naturally arises as to whether or
not ii will be a wise move on the part
of the government of the United States
to actually lay an embargo on food
products shipped out of this country.
With a hundred millions to feed this
is really a great and important ques-
ton. If enough grain is exported
from this country to actually reduce
the home supply to point where the
prices will be prohibitive action of this
kind will be imperative. This nation
has alread suffered to the extent of
billions through the effects Of the war
and care must be taken in the direc-
ton OF seeing that the stress does not
become too great upon the poorer peo-
pie of the country.
