TRAINING SCHOOL OPENS AUG. %

The Marathon County Training
School for Teachers will begin Mon
day, August 2Sth. From the number
of inquiries from prospective students
there is reason to believe there will
De much larger attendance this year
than last.
1t requires 275 tachers to supply
all ne schools under county super-
vision. If five years be the average
length of service of teachers. then
there will be need of about fifty
new teachers each year. For our own
training school to supply this need
IT would require an enrolment of one
hundred, or about twenty-five more
students than last year. The school
can accommodate that many nicely.
The worth of the training school
to this county does not depend upon
the number of graduates each wear
as much as it does upon the ability
and the Willingness to give honest SER
vice. So the class of students wanted
is class OF young people who are in
terested in education, and who can de-
velop the initiative and power of self
direction; young people who do not
require constant guardianship, or who
choose to exploit the school in behalf
OF interests out of harmony with right
character building.
Some of the county training schools
encourage the attendance of high
school graduates only. But we be-
1eye there is much good material
among our young people in the coun-
ty-young people who have not had
the advantage of full course in high
school; so we welcome all such that
can meet the entrance requirements.
The one year course offered to high
school graduates makes it possible
for many to remain at home and at
the same time, not only prepare
themselves to earn, but to get enough
credits to complete a state normal
school course in one year and a sum
mer session. Why not go to your
county training school?
Parties wishing to board, to room,
or to take students to work for board,
please notify the principal, Randall

LOSES VALUABLE COWS

AS the result of a peculiar disease
invading his dairy herd, H. NJ Kronen-
wetter lost three full blooded Holstein
COWS the fore part of the week and an
other is sick at the present time with
the same disease. The animals were
stricken while in the pasture and no
advance symptoms were noticed. Sun
day one of the veterinarians from the
department of animal husbandry at
Madison examined, the carcases and
later the disease was pronounced as
hemmoragic septicema. The same
diagnosis was made by DR.. Mills, of
Wausau, who was called when the
cattle were first stricken. While the
nature of the disease is known, so far
no combative measures have been
found to treat it with and it is gener-
ally fatal, although there are instances
where a critter will recover with no
apparent after effects.
The loss of these cattle has been a
severe blow to Mr.. Kronenwetter, as
it entirely wipes out his herd of thor
oughbred holsteins of which he was
Justly proud. These cattle were
among the finest of their kind in this
section.-MoSinee Times.

ed the city authorities have stated
they will release Churchill upon pay
ment of $50 of the 500 fine, provided
Churchill will sign pledge to abstain

HEARING IN
BANK TAX
CASE SOON

Judge John II. Venable, who return
ed yesterday from a business trip to
Oklahoma City, stated that within a
few days the matter of the assessment
of the First National bank of Chicka-
sha, now pending in the state supreme
court, would come up for hearing.
This matter would probably have been
reached this week, Judge Venable
said, but for the death of Judge Fur
man. which necessitated the setting
over of large number of cases on the
April call of the supreme court.
Rhis is the case, appealed by the
county attorney, which involves the
right of the county to assess and col
lect taxes upon that part of bank
stock which is held in state building
bonds. BY an act of the legislature
state building bonds we're declared
worcestershire.
In assessing the First National BANK
last year, $lS0,Go0 held in state build
ing bonds were declared by the county
commissioners to be assessable. The
bank appealed from the finding OF th'
commissioners court and the distric
court reversed the commissioners rul
ing. It is from the ruling of the dis
trict court that the county attornc,
has appealed.
Judge venable stated that this cas-
would probably be the test case II
! this matter and that number OF oth
er counties in the state would be gov
erned, in the assessment of bank
holding state building bonds, by Tn
ruling of the supreme court IN IN
