WOULD FORM COW TESTING ASSO-
CITATION

County field representative, H. H.
Humphrey, who was in the city last
Thursday and Friday, stated to the
writer that in all probability a COW
testing association would be estab-
lished in this vicinity this spring. This
is one of the best mediums known to
demonstrate the value of system on
the farm. The COW that is the profit
maker can only be determined by this
method and the results, where asso-
Citations have been formed, have been
both surprising and gratifying. The
boarding COW" is losing her prestige.
It's the COW that delivers the goods
that stays on the farm. Cow testing
associations are merely forms of CO.
operation. but they have been proven
TO be of untold value to the farmer
and pay large profits to the members
in enabling them to get proper returns
from their herds. In an association
at New Richmond 3S6 cows were tested
and of that number only "A produced
over 500 pounds of butter fat. Every
farmer in this vicinity should signify
his willingness TO join this association
and comply with the requirements.
There is no reason why the cows in
this section of the state should not
produce just as much butter fat per
head as they do in other parts of the
state. They will too. if they have the
right nagement.-Mosinee Times.

OCCURRENCES OF LONG AGO.
ITEMS OF NEWS BOILED DOWN FROM THE
WAUSAU PILOT THIRTY THREE YEARS AGO

{ Gumaer, VIM. Morgan, F. Lee Goff,
VIM. Davenport, Arthur Lawrence, V.
| Ringle and wife, c. Quandt and wife,
Mrs. Engle, Jim McCrossen, Effie Law
renee, Horace Klein, NJ. H. Barnum,
Aug. Kickbusch, Otto Kickbusch, and
nearly all of the above intended visit
ing the Milwaukee Exposition before
their return.
The late silver wedding reception
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Bells was so
completely and happily a success that
only those who were fortunate enough
to be present on the occasion can ap-
preciate an attempt at a description
of it. Such a popular, large-hearted
couple as George Bells and wife could
not have their friends" present at
their party without having a crowd
and so it was. The first arrivals were
at about eight p. m. and at ten o'clock
the guests were still coming. Each
was met in the hall between the ample
parlors of the Bells house, by the
smiling couple and warmly welcomed.
Meanwhile, some good lady decorated
them with dainty buttonhole bouquets
and then the presents" had to be ad-
mired. They made an elegant and
tempting display, and consisted of all
sorts of useful and elegant articles
of silver ware and costly glass, many
of them inlaid and lined with gold.
On Wednesday last, Rev. w. E.
Wright, Gen. Kellogg and Rob. Parcher
went a-fishing. They first launched
their boat upon the st. Paul train, =.
fishing upon that line being poor,
they took it off and put it into Trappe
river and from there floated into the
Wisconse and came back to Wausau
more or less tired in body, but in
condition of great mental activity.
At last it looks very much as if our
hopes were to be realized, and that we
are to have a county square that will
be pleasing to the eye. A contract has
been entered into with D.. j. Murray,
by the committee on Public Property, |
for an iron fence to be put around
the Court House Square, the cost of |
the same being $2,100.0O.

DENTAL MEETING

The annual meeting of the Central
Wisconsin Dental society was held
Wednesday, April 10, in the Mckinley
building. There was an unusually
large attendance of practitioners from
the neighboring cities, as program OF
high merit had been prepared. The
morning was devoted to clinics and
practical demonstrations in the offices
of Drs. Levenhagen, Siebecker and
Kolter.
One of the features was lecture
by Henry P Boos of Minneapolis, who
demonstrated a new method of taking
impressions for artificial dentures.
This proved highly interesting as the
clinician had numerous models to ex-
plain each step of the procedure. An
other feature was a paper by Dr..
Harry Morton of Milwaukee, upon the
subject of Conductive Anesthesia. His
remarks were supplemented by prac-
tical demonstrations upon patients,
and his number with its great detail
elected a general free discussion.
At the business meeting in the after
noon the election of officers resulted
in the reinstatement of present officers,
namely:
President-Dr. E. B. Owen, Merrill.
Vice President-Dr. A. B. Crawford
Edgar.
Sec and Treas.-Dr. w. 1. Macfar-
lane, Tomahawk.
The meeting adjourned at a late
hour to partake of a banquet served
by the ST. Martha's guild at the Epis-
copal church. The visiting dentists
were: W. T. Poad, w. S. Heaton, G. E

GOOD DEFINITION OF SCHOOL
TEACHER
Pittsburg Post Gives the Public a
Splendid Idea of PedagOgue

The Pittsburg Post has the follow
| ing to say concerning schooISteachers.
! A school teacher is a person who
teaches things to people when they
are young. However, it would be un-
| fair to accuse her of teaching them
what they know when they grow up.
| She teaches them only what they have
forgotten by that time.
The teacher comes to school at
$50 and when she has gotten
enough children for "a mess in her
room, she teaches them reading, writ
ing, geography, grammer, arithmetic
music, drawing, cooking, board saw
| ing, crOcheting, deep breathing, bird
calls, scientific eating, patriotism, plain
and fancy bathing, forestry, civics and
other sciences too numerous to men
ton. When school is out she stays
behind with five or six of her worst
scholars and tries to save the state
the job of reforming them later on.
After that she hurries home to make
herself a new dress and snatch a
hasty supper before going back to
attend lecture by an imported spec
ialist on the history of tribal law
in Patagonia, which the superintendent
thinks may give her some informa
tiOn which may be useful in her school
| work some day. A great many lee
turers roam the country preying on
school teachers and some of them
are very cruel, talking to them so
| long that the poor things have to sit
up until morning, when they get home
to get their daily test papers corrected.
School teachers salaries range from
$4,000 a month up-but not far enough
! to make them dizzy. On her salary the
| teacher must dress nicely, buy herself
things for her work which the city is
| too poor to get, go to 29 lectures and
concerts year, buy helpful books on
pedagogy, pay her way to district,
county and state Institutes, and en-
| JOY herself during three months va
| cation, which her salary takes every
year In addition the teacher is sup
posed to hoard away vast sums of
money, so that when she becomes too
nervous and cross to teach, at the age
of fifty or thereabouts, she can retire
and live happily ever after on her in
come.
There is a popular superstition to
| the effect that the great financiers can
| be found in Wall street and that they
| gather there every morning; but they
don't They gather in the school
houses of the land every morning and
as they teach the children of the nation
twice as much as they will ever remem-
Der, they figure out new ways of divid-
| ing $450O into a months board, new
! dress, a trip to the county seat, pair
| of shoes, two entertainment tickets,
an insurance assessment and a deposit
in the savings bank.

Cost of War to Europe.

War is now costing the nations of Europe
more than ninety million dollars a day. 1t is
costing $65o,oooooo week, and will have cost
the round of $4sooo,oooooo by August
next, when its second year is completed. The
cost to Great Britain for two years warfare will
have been $II 1000 100000 if the conflict is still
in progress at the opening of August. The cost
to Germany will have been bit less than that;
to France it will have been $o,25oooo,ooo.
These figures presented in a special book
let on the financial aspects of the war, which the
Mechanics and Metals National Bank of New
York has in preparation, and plans to issue early
in May In a study of the distribution of the
tremendous cost of Europes war; it will be
shown that total military expenditure of all the
belligerent nations in the first year was approxi-
mately $I75ooooo,ooo while in the second year
it will have been $28,ooo 900.
The aggregate of these amounts represents
sum that, according to an Introductory note in
the booklet, is three times greater than the en-
tire capitalization of the railways Of the United
States, and four times greater than the total de-
posits of all national banks. 1t is shown
that two years of the present war will cost six
times than the full amount expended in
civil war, and will reach a sum that is forty
times more than the amount of the national in
debtedness of the United States and I2o times
more than the cost of the Panama Canal.
Great Britain's expenditures, according
to the Mechanics and Metals Banks computa-
ton, are now $25,oooooo day, as compared with
little more than half that amount at the opening
of 1915. The daily cost Of France is SI8,-
100000, and Of Russia $I5,5ooooo. So that for
the chief entente allies, every time the hour
hand of the clock moves, more than $4,000 is
is paid out the price of war. For the Ger
manic allies it is calculated that the hourly cost
is more than million dollars.
Financially and commercially" writes the
Mechanics and Metals Bank in an Introductory
note Of the booklet, "thc future Of the United
States is linked with that of Europe which al
ways has been and presumably always will be
the chief market in our oversee trade The war
will not Danish Europe from Americas future,
therefore the fact that Europe, to finance huge
military requirements, is drawing on its capital
and credit at rate of tens OF millions of dol
lars day, cannot fail to be a matter Of vital
interest to every American citizen"
Prediction regarding the future is futile, the
bank maintains. 1t recalls the manner in which
the confident prophecies Of 1914, regarding fnan-
cial developments the world over have not been
fulfilled, and sets up the sequel to 1914 as a
warning against any too-confdent predictions at
the present time OF what the future will bring
forth"
