POPULAR MASQUE PARTY

A masQue party and dance was Civ
en- at Kadlec's hall Thursday night
of last week, the fine supper being
served by the management of the
hall.
The disguises, in which the parti-
c1pants appeared, were perhaps the
most sensationally interesting of the
season, many of the wives requiring
an Introduction to their "hubbys," "
and vice versa. Unless it should go
to Otto Eisenach and Art Winnege,
who might be said to have been Gin
corporated," in a representation of
the. "Siamese Twins" the masque
of R. M. Sensenbrenner would per-
haps have taken the pennant. Mr..
Sensenbrenner, whose rather decol-
lette toilet consisted largely of a bar
rel and a pair of suspenders, is
thought to have come off mighty
lucky that somebody didn't think of
the kid-time stunt of rolling him,
zen costume" But he is said to
have anticipated as much, and to
have been prepared to turn turtle
and telescope his extremities out
of harms way.
The affair was given by the Paper
makers Club.

REPEAL PROBABLE
LEGISLATURE LIKELY TO AEOL
ISH COUNTY BOARD OF
EDUCATION
COUNTY SUPT.S' CONVENTION
Large Attendance and Great Progress
of Schools Shown During
Past Year

Rusk county's representative, O. E.
Rice, who returned Saturday from
the biennial state convention of the
county superintendent of schools,
at MADISON, reports it one of the
most noteworthy and enjoyable of
such events.
All counties were represented eX-
cept Barron, Iron and Florence, the
State Superintendent complimenting
the body upon the fact, and also up
on the progress Of the state, edu-
cationally, the past year, which he
said had exceeded that Of the ten
years previous. The University treat
ed the convention to a splendid ban
quet, held in Lathrop hall, at which
forceful and entertaining addresses
were delivered by Governor Philip,
State Supt. Cary, President of the
University Van Hise, and Professor
Of AgrOnomy, r. A. Moore, the last
mentioned of whom will be remem-
O0l0Q CD te'hAAA5 ouCI Oil dppi eCioCCu
part in our recent State Dairymen's
Convention.
A remarkable feature OF the ban
quet was that the eatables and drink
ables-Which didn't extend beyond
water, hoWever-were entirely home
grown Indeed, a proper ''image
and superscription' for the menu
might w-ll have been that of bad
ger and the legend, "Made in Wis
consin"-a fact tending to substan-
tiate the recently published claim of
Dean Russell, of the department Of
agriculture, that were the state be-
leagured by an army, it could live
high for year or so, and longer
perhaps than any member of the I'm
ion, having, within her native re-
sources, all of the necessities and
several of the luXuries Of life.
1t was apparent, from reports about
the Capitol, that the legislature in
tends to repeal the County Board of
Education law, that went into effect
last spring. The principal argument
against the Board seemed to be that,
in the opinion of many of the legis
lators, it's powers and duties are so
limited as to render the expense un-
wise. 1t is proposed, in case the
law is repealed, that there shall be
appointed in each county, in the in
terest of the supervision of rural
schools, one Or more assistants Of
the county superintendent.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH MUSICALE

The musicale at the Christian
church Thursday night, which con-
sisted of vocal and instrumental
music and readings, was accorded
an appreciative reception. The Sc
lections of the readers-which called
for the depicture of character, both
of the serious and lighter order
were we'll chosen, and given with a
finish worthy of many professionals.
The musical compositions, also,
including those given by the Sunday
School orchestra, and the chorus OF
highschool girls, were of an intel
lectual character and evinced taste
for that which is most permanently
satisfying in that fine art.

. : . : ) . :

Many teachers have thus far re
ported that their schools will enter
the spelling contest this spring. We
hope to hear that all rural and sec
ond class graded schools having pu-
pills in the three upper grades will
join in this good work. Teachers
should report at once that We may
complete arrangements.
Persons expecting to begin first
teaching next fall, but who have not
had the required six weeks profes-
sional training should be now in
attendance at such a school. Certi-
ficates issued prior to July first,
next, will be good for next year to
beginners, provided such persons en-
ter into contract to teach for the
coming year, not later than July 1st,
1915. After that date, one whole
year training will be necessary; also,
one more year above the eighth
grade work.
Calls are now coming in for strong
teachers for next September.
Attention is directed to the com
ing Teachers Associations for Rusk
County. Feb. goth, at Bruce; Feb.
9th, at Glen Flora. Programs will
soon be out, and it is expected that
all teachers will attend one or both
of these meetings.
The spring examinations will be
held in Ladysmith and Bruce in
April Dates will be announced later.
Diploma examinations Will be held
in April and May as heretofore
Teachers should advise this office
during February how many pupils
they are to have write for the di
plomas, and give date of closing
their schools.

The amount that the fair associa-
ton will receive back from the state
is $1,027.40.
The above figures show very con-
clusively that the first fair was a
financial success. There is no reas-
on why the future ones shouldn't be.
The report of the secretary was &C.
Cepted. Three of the old directOra-
Fl. w. True, liver Bergstrom and V.
V. Miller-were unanimously re-elect-
ed for three years and j. A. Boyer
VS. also elected as q director fc1
one year, to fill a vacancy.
The matter of building a speed
barn was taken up and discussed, be-
ing finally left to the board of di-
rectors. 1t was the consensus of
opinion, however, that a speed barn
should be built, as several trainers
would bring horses here if there
was proper facilities for them, which
would add materially to the success
of the races. Such a barn will un-
doubtedly be built.
1t was voted to hold a four-day
fttir this year, dates to be selected
by the dir r3ctols, and the bylaws
were formally adopted.
1t was voted that anybody should
be allowed to build building on the
fair grounds, subject to the approv-
al and rules of the directors, for
exhibition purposes. 1t was also pro
posed that the business men Of this
city combine and build an exhibit
hall, in Which each would have q
