Information about temporary and
permanent jobs for students who wish
to earn part or all of their own way
through college is summed up in a
pamphlet recently issued by the Stu
dent Employment Bureau at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
The bureau, which is maintained
under the direction of the alumni
association, assisted $50 students in
getting work, during the past year.
About 446 of them came from Wis
consin. Permanent positions were
obtained for 10 students, and 6l2
jobs were secured.
Students trained along some such
line as stenography, or carpentry are
very much in demand, but for UNI
trained labor there are often four or
five candidates for each job. Stu
dents who are willing to beat rugs,
take care of lawns, or attend to fur
naces, are often enabled to make a
| large part of their extra expenses
ard sometimes to earn as much as
SI5 during the year at odd jobs.
New students are warned against
coming to the university with less
than $500 above their entrance fees.

DOG LAWS

Chapter 5l2, of the laws of 1915,
relating to dogs, puts new response
bilities upon the owners of CANNES
which are worthy Of notice. Under
this law dog found worrying or in
juring sheep may be following and
killed anywhere even 70 the premises
of the owner If the owner of such
dog is notified, either verbally or in
writing that his dog is again caught
worrying such animals. the owner of
such dog is liable for all damages
done, and in addition theIin is sub
ject to fine of not over $50 nor less
than S25. The owner of the dog is
likewise liable for any damage done
by his dog whether he has had notice
or not, and subject to the same fine.
In case he refuses to pay the fine he
may be sent to Jail. Under the
drastic terms of such law, dog own
ers should take special care to prevent
their pets from getting hankering
for mutton. Even a mongrel pup
might be a costly proposition if he
should develop an appetite for lamb

Stump pulling, the bugaboo of NORTH
ern Wisconsin farmers. is not what it
used to be in the good old days when
the severest kind of labor was iuvolv-
ed in the operation. Machines have
lately been perfected by which four
men and one horse have pulled 80
stumps in 100 minutes; and little
one-man power machine has been in
vented that pulls them in far less time
and with much less labor than team
used to use.
