Division of the 500 Line, was here
yesterday, and looked over the Foun-
ain-Campbell site, which is now be-
ing cleared and levelled off. Mr..
Urbahn had many good words to say
for Ladysmith and expects to see a
much larger city here in few years.
He was shown where railroad sur
veyors were laying out two tracks
leading to the plant, forming a wye.
He thought track scale would have
to be installed by the 500 Line here,
even though there is already such a
scale in the city, to obviate the
necessity of hauling all the logs
coming to, and lumber shipped ou
from this mill, through the yards tt
be weighed.

COUNTY SCHOOL NEWS
BY COUNTY SUPT, o. E. RICE
81 : Ss 3 : : ) . 8 ) 4

District clerks are perhaps all
aware that the date for the annual
meeting has been changed by the last
legislature to the first Monday IN
July, at 8 o'clock D. m.
If any clerk was unaware Of that
change. and called the meeting for
the first Monday in June, another
annual meeting should be advertised
and the meeting held July 3rd. The
proceedings, if otherwise held legal
ly, may be ratified July 3rd, and the
minutes of the second meeting made
to show that ratification. Present
officers hold until July meeting.
This change of dates has been
three times published in the county
school notes, and it is scarcely prob
able that any clerk was uniformed.
The new school code has not yet
been received, otherwise school Off
GERS would have been supplied. I am
unable to say just when the supply
will be received from Madison.
Teachers Examination
AS announced this will be held at
the court house, Thursday and Fri
day, June Sth and 9th, commencing
at nine o'clock. First day, third
grade subjects only; second day,
complete third grade and second
grade subjects.
Candidates will provide themselves
with pens and pencils. Manuscript
books may be had of the examiner
at ten cents per copy. Those who
have not taught in wisconsin must
have had two years work beyond
the eighth grade, one of which must
have been in a professional school
for teachers.
Finals secured at state normal
school within the last three years
may be accepted in lieu of an exam
ination in such studies. Not more
than five standings may be trans
ferred from certificate now in
force.
Clerks annual report blanks will
be ready about June 18th. Clerks
should note announcements in last
issue of county papers in super
intendent's column about preliminary
work before annual meeting.
In the financial report Of their
report, it should be seen that bal-
ance on hand year ago corresponds
exactly to the amount reported by
the clerk last July. Strict instruc-
tions from the department at Mad
ison have been received, concerning
this feature
We hope in next issue to give
the names of pupils who received the
common and graded school diplomas
at the recent examinations. Reports
have been mailed each teacher of the
results in each case. They should
inform pupils promptly as to their
credits.
Many annual reports being received
from teachers are faulty and incom-
plete, necessitating returning reports
for corrections.
Read carefully all directions print
ed. Fill all blanks as called for.
County spelling contest at training

BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get at
the Cause and Remove It

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, act gently on the
bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
by all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen.
t1y but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any of
the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets without grip
ing, pain or any disagreeable effects.
DIR. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with bowel
and liver complaint with the attendant
bad breath.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are pure
ly a vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil; you will know them by their
olive color. Take one or two every
night for a week and note the effect.
