FIRE PREVENTION DAY

Hon. Emanuel L. Philipp, the gov
ernor of our state, has by prOclama-
ton designated October 9th, the an
niversary of the great Chicago fire,
as FIRE PREVENTION DAY.
Cognizant of the fact that the
fire loss of the state is perhaps its
greatest waste, and that annually
quite a number of children and
adults are burned to death in ou1
state, he thinks it worth while, that
not. only the schools, but officials
and citizens generally spend the day
in studying the causes of this waste
of life and property and in using
es as far as possible.
We urge upon each mayor to alst
issue a proclamation, recommending
to the citizens generally a thorough
cleaning up Of all combustible ma
terials and rubbish in yards alleys
areaways, cellars and cellar entries
StoreroomS, attlcS, sheds and barns
and further to inspect every stow
and stovepipe, every furnace, smoke
flue and chimney to see that thes'
are sound, clean and safely in
stalled.
Intelligent effort along these tw,
lines will remove many causes o
fire and contribute to saving bot
the property and lives of his fel
low-citizens.
M. J. CLEARY,
State Fire Marsha

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES {
IS sssssssssssssssssssssssss,sssss,

The county fair is over and the
Training School is again running
full blast. The school shared with
the Public Library of this city the
booth owned by Mr.. H. A. Dimock to
whom our thanks are due and glad
| y| rendered.
This was the first time that the
Training School ever had a nom
competitive exhibit at the fair. The
object was to show the people OF
Rusk County and especially to the
teachers some of the facilities the
school possesses to help the rural
schools of the county. That the ex-
hibit fulfilled it's purpose is proven
by the fact that several schools in
the county receive direct aid this
week. At the request of the teach
ers, books and other teaching ma
terial have been loaned them for two
weeks or longer.
There is plenty more interesting
material to be had by other schools
at the request of the teacher at no
expense to them except for transpor-
tation.
One of the most interesting and
perhaps the most directly valuable
feature of the fair was the child
ren's potato exhibit If all the
schools can be brought to the point
where teaching is as practical as
that shown in this potato booth,
! Ruslx county will boom as never be
fore. Teachers are urged to get into
communication with Mr.. Household
der in this matter.
A good time for a community meet
ing is halloween. Good, wholesome
fun can be combined with a stirring
up of a strong educational spirit in
the district
Now is a good time to begin get
ting ready for next years fair. The
best work done in each class should
be saved and from it a fine selec-
ton can be made for the fair.
The Training School was happy to
welcome the Conrath school which
attended the fair. One of the rooms
of our building was turned over 20
the teacher and pupils and used by
them for dining room. We are
always glad to have the building
used for such purpose by schools.
Several teachers have asked advice
about construction materials. The
Training School has just received a
supply of such material for its own
use. 1t is suggested that teachers
inspect this supply to get ideas for
| their own schools.
The State Board of Health, Madi-
son, publishes some very fine ma
terial for use in classes in physi-
ology. Teachers can get this mater
| ial free by writing for it.
Is your name on the mailing List
Of the Agricultural college of the
University of wisconsin for agricul-
turaI and other bulletins? If no. it
will pay you to ask to be put ON the
mailing hist. All the material sent
out is exceedingly valuable for
teachers.

THE iNcONSlDERATE BEHAVIOR
OF A CANDIDATE.

Why does Mr. Hughes insist upon
talking about that old-fashioned. not
to say ubiquitous" doctrine, the pro-
tective tariff? For nearly the whole
period of its industrial existence, the
United States struggled along under
protection. The Democratic party in
1913 came to the relief of an afflicted
and burdened people.
The Republican administrator mot
on account of the tariff it is true)
was overthrow. Before taking over
the reinS of government, and for MANY
years prior to that time. countess
Democratic statesmen had vainly tried
to persuade the American people that
the protective tariff was an fliduity,
veritable contrivance of devils. 1t
fostered the trusts, and it was an ele-
vator of prices even to the thirty-sey-
enth story and the tower They prom
fsed relief. The poor should be no
longer oppressed; the cost of living
should he reduced-must be, as the
sure result of a tariff for revenue
Louisiana sugar mills and the Carolina
cotton factories.
Doesn't Mr.. Hughes know what the
Administration did which he is now
attacking? He ought TO know. The
Democrats. under the leadership of
pealed that iniquity and abomination,
ths Payne-Aldrich tariff law-that fos-
ter mother of trusts and high prices
and enacted in its place the present
law. Mr.. Hughes knows. of course.
as every head of a family in America
knows, that the trusts have not vet
been dissolved and that the cost of
living is higher than ever,-that the
price Of everything has reached an I'M
heard-Of height-but what of it?
What of it. indeed? While it is
true that q protective tariff never fail
ed. under any circumstances to pro-
tect American industry and American
labor, it is to be considered that the
war in Europe has upset the plans of
the present low-tariff administration
len, foundation for an alibi 1t is
very unusual condition.
Row, the obvious thing for Mr..
Hughes to do is to give the Demo-
Gratis a chance to get their tariff on
straight. Never mind the patient; let
the doctor experiment. That time
won't come. of course until the war
is over-according to the Democratic
version. In other words the tariff
for-revenue doctrine doesn't fit the
conditions: the conditions must be
made to fit the tariff. SO why this
disturbance, Mr.. Hughes?
Besides. when YOU discuss little
thing like the tariff do you not know
that Son-in-Law McAdoo and the other
statesmen of the Democratic family
are likely to repeat their accusation
that YOU are "pettifoggipg ?-Charles-

his room in search of such and came
across two bottles of Jamaica rum that
he had hid away and forgot about. Bring

cork out of one, took two or three good

The bottle was passed around twice

that tightening the vessel had brought

big blessing to me. was SO very happy
and thankful for it all. l felt all the
time as if it were being planned by a
Person, who loved me. OF course all
things are planned for US, but never had
l felt the Person who was doing the plan
ming so near. OF course l couldn't even
hope to study any this month. As soon
as l get home next week must be at
language again. Such lot as l still
have to do. and second year examination
only six months ahead.
1 wish / could be at Ocean Park Love
to you all from Miss Barnes and me.
AMY PORTER.
