M. NJ. CORNER.
BY the Sec.

How about the Mothers meeting .?
Well, there was good attendance,
and we had an enjoyable time as we
always do.
We are to hold our sale on Nov "A,
at the old fremont House No. 3O2
South Fourth St.-up stairs. This is
not rummage sale. everything is
new and clean, and needs no disinfect-
ing. Now don't say that you will
not come because you have no money.
Haven't we told you repeatedly that
money is not our sole object? But
we want to meet you and plan to help
each other, and perhaps those less
fortunate, and we may find a way to
do this without money. Anyway
your presence will be an inspiration,
so come. For one thing, we will
have two quilt tops, we will sell
cheaper than you can make them.
Some warm garments for children:
something new in handy bags that
faSten to the table, very convenient
when cutting out work and sewing:
also clothespin bags that slide along
the line, and white wooden gloves for
hanging out clothes, etc.
How to meet the high cost of living.
To keep within our means and clothe
and feed our families is vital sub.
ject with us all. We are learning
that we can do without much we
have considered essential and are
quite as well off. One mother SAYS,
"We have meat only for dinner, and
have fewer doctor bills than before"
One young housekeeper SAYS.
Through a mistake, no meat was
ordered for our Sunday dinner. We
had a little ground ham. | made
sandwiches, we had mashed potatoes
with milk gravy, pie and coffee.
What is more we were all satisfied.
and through dinner at I2:3O-and I
went to church.
One mother says she cannot learn
where TO buy whole wheat -four.
Some stores should do more advertis-
ing. We have just learned of a place
where we could have bought fresh
oat meal for II cents per 10. 1t is
now but 3.
Some one asks how to make old
fashioned hominy. Ourmothers used
to boil up ashes into a strong I've. 1t
is better to get can of the con-
centrated I've, but dangerous to have
about, where there are children
Some say soda will do the work
about , tablespoons to q kettle of
shelled corn. Any good clean corn
from the crib will do. Boil it in the
solution until the skins loosen. then
wash in number of waters until
clean. Then boil a number of hours
until soft. We find the canned
hominy very good but its an objection
TO have TO cook it all day, even when
soaked over night Can some one tell
Us what brand is ready cooked. need
ing only to be reheated like corn and
peas. We have seen il, but not lately.
viii some one tell us if there is a
seedleSs cranberry and where TO get
them.
3Our next meeting will be held on
the 24th of Noyember-at our sale.

One View of the study Of Latin.

II one does not study things because
they train the mind" why, then,
should one study them? The answes
Is extraordinarily simple. One studies
things because they serve a purpose.
do not say, mark you, useful pur-
pose, but 8 purpose valid purpose, a
genuine purpose, not make believe
purpose.
Mental discipline is not a valid or
genuine purpose-it's a make believe.
Meanwhile the number Of purposes, of
genuine, valid purposes, is simply In
finite. Learning to read Vergil is, Of
course, just as valid a purpose as learn
Ing to play a symphony or learning to
bake pumpkin pie. The test is, how
ever, not, Did the student get mental
discipline7 but Can he read and en-
JOY Vergil? Can he play the symphony
VIII some one eat the pie?
And because people rarely care to
read Vergil, because almost none of
the thousands who study Latin ever
can or do read Vergil, therefore, In 30
far as they are concerned, studying
Latin has no purpose and cannot be
defended as mental discipline.-Abra-
ham Elexner In Atlantic Monthly.

NEW BUILDINGS

No. 5, Plover, put up very sub
stantial building patterned after plans
furnished by the Waterbury company.
The building is heated by modern
heating and ventilating system.
No. g. Emmett, started its building
late last fall but did not complete it
until this summer. A good heating
and ventilating system was installed
No. 6, Maine, built roomy brick
building with a good basement under
meath it. The building is heated by a
basement furnace and is in every way
pleasant place for boys and girls
1t was put up according to plans fur
nished by Frank Seefeldt, who also
built the building at cost of approx
imately $25OO.
No 4, Maine is putting up 'the
building" of the county as far as one
room schools are concerned The
building will be ready for occupation
sometime during December.
The body of the building is twenty
| seven feet by forty-siX feet with a wins
on either side ten feet by fifteen fee
in size. One wing is a cloak room anC
| the other is the library. The class
room is twenty-five feet by thirty si1
| feet in size The first story floor is sly
| feet above grade with the entrance al
| grade level with cement steps leading
to the first story and basement re
spectively. The building is heated
with temperate air furnace heat which
permits the use of dry closets which are
| located in the basement. The building
is in every sense modern in construc'
ton. The class room is lighted from
battery of windows on the pupils
left hand side.
The walls of the building are o.
rubble stone masonry up to the frs
story floor line and the balance of the
masonry wall is of hollow tile twelve
! inches thick, on which the exterior anC
interior plaster is to be directly ap
piled. The roof, which is to be of red
dish brown asphalt shingles; together
with the exterior wood finish stained
dark brown, the white plaster, anC
dark gray rubble stone basement wall
will produce a very pleasing effec
against a green wooded background.
The symmetrical plan is straightfor
ward and simple, producing an eleva
ton which balances from every poin
of view. The formation of the plan it
self together with the use of gooC
materials, is such as to produce a mos
interesting and characteristic struc
| ture.

A "Friday" Ship.

A true story is told of a skeptcal
Massachusetts, captain who way back
In the early years Of the republic de-
termined to exhibit the fallacy Of the
Friday superstition. He contracted on
a certain Friday for the building Of
a ship, and it was arranged that the
keel Of this vessel was laid on Friday.
that she was launched on a Friday,
named Friday, commenced loading on
Friday and hauled into the stream
on the same day of the week. To add
to the possibilities Of disaster, a negro
cook named Friday was engaged, and,
thus fully freighted with the sinister
name, the Friday sailed on Friday,
bound to a port in the West Indies.
FROM that day to this no tidings Of
the Ill fated craft have been received

grains, canned fruits, home baking
and fancy work. Mr.. Swoboda of

and supper was served.
The warm noon lunches are being
served in District No. 5, Cassel, where
Ruth Means is teaching, and in Dis
trict No. 2, Day, where Anna K.
Spindler is teacher.
No doubt many other districts are
carrying on these special activities
The teachers should report the facts
to the office so that their districts
will be given due credit from time to
time in the school bulletin.

When we say we have been pestered
by the bill collector and the political
candidate we are not indulging in
American slang. We are using a word
that Is more ancient and aristocratic
than any of our proudly displayed
coats of arms. And it came from the
same source as most OF the worlds
aristocracy-from the farm! "Pester"
Is an abbreviation for 'impeSter," and
a pastorium, in classic Latin, was sim
ply pasture. There were no fences
around the pasture. and to prevent the
horses and cattle from straying too
far in quest Of lush grass their feet
were shackled. You would think you
were being pestered If your feet were
tled-that is, impestered-so that you
could not run.-St Louis Globe-Demo-

buildings is up it may not be amiss
to review briefly what has been done
during the school year closing June
80, 1916.
Spencer village put up building
costing between $4,000 and $4,000
Mosinee village built an addition to
its building. The addition together
with the remodeling of the existing
building represented an outlay of
about $4,000. They installed fans in
their heating and ventilating system
and now have the best ventilated
school building in the county outside
of the City of Wausau.
New buildings, ranging from $140O
to $2500, were put up in No. s. Pike
Lake; No. 8, Pike Lake; No. l, Easton;
No 7, Easton; No. 8, Green Valley and
No. 4, Knowlton.
Additions were built in No. 4, John
son; No. 4, Ringle; No. A. Hewitt, and
it. IA, Mosinee.
A careful study of the above account
of school room building operations
since January 1, 1915, leads to the con-
: clusion that the people of the county
are eXerting themselves to give their
children good school facilities. We
have at present PA school buildings in
the county outside of the City of Wau-
sau. Of these "a, or over IL per cent,
were built or rebuilt since January
1, 1915. When we add to this num-
Der the many building that were over
hauled by way of new floors, new
paint, new tinting and new furniture,
the outlook is indeed encouraging.

THE DAILY PROGRAM

The new Manual gives a sugges-
tive program that may we'll receive
careful consideration. Though it will
not be wise to try to follow it in all
schools of the county, it is, neverthe-
less, with few minor changes, disable
in large number of them.
In this connection attention is called
to the fact that every school should
have we'll worked out program This
program should be placed on large
card and posted in plain sight of the
pupils. Unless the school room has
plenty of spare blackboard it is not
wise to use board space for the pro-
gram.
Have a Daily Program.
Post the Daily Program.
Follow the Daily Program.

ever you are satisfied that you can

No more booze served after 1 a. m.

the order last night following a con-

Too many girls have gone into
court and told that they met their
downfall after drinking at dancing
clubs in the loop. Some of the clubs
are at swell hotels. The Morrison
hotel has twice been mentioned in

encouraged amateur BAH, looking
upon the amateurs as feeders to the
professional game and figuring that
there would be benefits all around If
the amateurs helped create a base,
ball atmosphere. -,
Little did the magnates know that
in short time the amateur game
would actually threaten the health of
their enterprise.
That such thing has happened
cannot be denied in view of the situa-
ton in Cleveland and the wonderful
countrywide boom in amateur sports
of all kinds.
There is nothing the cluboWner
can do to change conditions. 1t is
simply up to them to wait and see if,
by offering high-class article of ball,
with less commercialism involved,
they can regain patronage lost dur
ing the past two years of inferior ball,
due to the baseball war.
Until this is decided it behooVes
them to hold down a bit in their hopes
for the future. The amateur propo-
sition is getting bigger all the time.

UNITED VERDE EXTENSION.

At this Jerome, AriZ., property, new discoveries are being made that all still greater value ro this wonderful mine. Recently-found ore deposits assay as high as 40 per cent copper, or at the rate of 800 pounds of metal per ton. Ore of the grade mentioned has been found on the 18th level of the mine. It will be recalled that the first rich developments were on the 1400-foot level. At the 18th Sne de- posit of ore 50 feet in width shows copper of 40 per cent grade. A winze from the 14th to the 18th level shows ore averaging Is per cent copper. Be low the 18th level ore of lower grade was encountered for 50 feet when a horse of rock was encountered. The winze is still in the rock at last ac- count.
 It is stated that more than 100000 tons of ore averaging better than IS per cent has already been proved in the mine. The company is producing about 100000 pounds of copper per month.
