Ret. HQSSe
To O0f ParH

This Office has received clipping
from a Jackson, Calf, paper which
tells of the conference change of Rev:
Haase. Mrs. Haase is daughter of
Mrs. Martha Johnston, Eighth street,
Baraboo. The item reads as follows:
Rev. and Mrs A. F. Haase returned
home Wednesday from the M. E. con-
ference at Santa Cruz. Mr.. Haase
has been appointed to the pastorate
at Oak Park, suburb of Sacramento,
and will leave with his family for
that place sometime the middle of
next week. Rev. and Mrs. Haase
have been located here for the past
three years and have made a host of
friends, who will learn of their de-
parture with regret.
Rev. Haase has been interested in
the Boy Scout movement here, and it
was almost entirely through his eff
forts that the gymnasium and young
peoples library were organized. He
is a very interesting man and has
conducted a most successful pastorate
here. Jackson's loss is Oak Parks
gain, and we bespeak him and his
charming wife and family all kinds of
success in the new field.

IMPROVEMENTS IN COUNTRY
SCHOOLS

(From September issue Of Sank
County Schools, by G. w. Davies.)
Throughout Sank county, the tend
ency toward better school conditions
has been manifested this summer.
Schoolhouses have been painted in
side and out, vanished, and great
deal of new equipment added. This
speaks we'll for the progressive spirit
of the board members and also for
the teachers, who, in many cases, are
responsible for these improvements.
They have shown the boards how nee
essary good equipment is for good
school work. Joint District No. Z,
Baraboo, is greatly improving it's
school building. The building has
been moved, remodeled, and apparatus
added. New buildings are being erect
ed in Joint District No. Z, Fairfield;
District No. 6, Reedsburg, and Dis
trict No. 4, Winfield.
A teacher in one of these clean
workshops says, 'The children and
think we have the best school in
the county in which to work"
Let us hope that many Sank County
teachers feel the same, and that no
teacher or pupils is obliged to begin
a new school year in a school where
the room has not been recently clean
ed and the yard mown and raked.
Don't forget the outhouses.

Shark Fight

Mrs. F. D. Clarke, Los Angeles, for
merly a resident of Reedsburg and
Baraboo, sends the following from the
San Diego Sun:
Frank Wyatt viewed the movies of
the man who dove into shark-infested
waters, and with his trusty blade
opened the shark wide up, just as it
was about to swallow him.
And then, the other day, while
wearing a diving helmet of his own
manufa cture, in the search for a
suitcase of jewels supposed to have
been thrown from the municipal pier,
it was not strange that Frank had a
trusty steel of his own all ready for
emergency.
He descended the latter into the
deep, sounded his way until he be-
came more used to the semi-darkness,
and commenced to prod for the treas
ure-trove.
a dark shadow passed over him.
The knife was unSheathed.
The dark form again made it's way
toward the tense, crouching figure.
Slash!
The trusty blade bit into the form,
and tore through it.
| Wyatt crouched low. The beast rose
almost straight to the surface.
Up on the dock a group of water
front men were slapping each other on
the back and rocking with laughter.
Captain "Scotty" Harper held a
, stout pole, from which dangled an i'm
mense coffee sack, weighted with an
old pair of rubber boots.
And down one corner of the bag was
a large rent, made by WAITS "trusty

BEGIN TO COPE WITH
WHITE GRUB PEST

There is no method known, as yet,
whereby this pest can be entirely
eradicated, but it can be controlled
to some extent. Farmers who have
their land which they wish to put into
a cultivated crop for the season of
1911, fall plowed, or plowed in the
spring before May 1, will find that
these fields will be quite free from
grups the following year, since the
May or June beetles, which will COM
mence flying next spring, soon after
the first Of May and continue until
tie middle of June, will not lay their
eggs in bare SOIL
So it behooves us to pillow up all our
sod this fall, or next spring before
the beetles commence their fight.
a cover crop of rye can be sown in
the corn fields next summer at the
time of the last cultivating, or har-
rcwed in after the corn is cut and
tlen ploWed under the next spring
Of 1918, if one desires to keep up the
supply Of humus in the soil.
This may seem like lots of trouble,
but it is far ahead of losing the use
Of "a field, which is the case if it is
badly infested with white grubs. It
is almost impossible to get a crop Of
corn or potatoes in a field where this
pest is located, so be sure to do all
your blowing this fall for cultivated
crops to be planted next spring.
Respectfully,
Fred J. Paddock.
Editors Note: Mr. Paddock has
made an extended study of the white
grub and under the direction of the
state trapped many thousands of the
beetles when they were engaged in
their fight. He may be reached
through the BarabOO exchange for
further particulars. In case others
have ideas on the above or other top
les, this paper will be glad to give
a limited amount Of space to the sub
ject.]
