WISCONSIN EDUCATOR FOR
GUM RACKS IN SCHOOL

Madison.-The State Educational
Bulletin, issued recently, comments
favorably on a suggestion of Presi-
dent J. w. Crabtree Of the River Falls
normal school that there should be
gum racks in schools.
"Pupils have a right to chew
gum" said President Crabtree.
"Teachers do it, but they know when
and how. Why not teach these on
ventionalities to the pupilss
Permit the pupils to chew gum on
the playground and on the way to and
from school. But what will the poor
child do with his gum while in the
recitation or assembly room? A gum
rack at the entrance of the DON con
tanning a number and peg for each
pupil solves the problem"

GERMANY HAS LITTLE COFFEE
Supply Is About Exhausted, With
None Passing Blockade.

Observation-Disclosures it is not ad-
mitted in Germany, the famous old
German coffee houses, popular re-
sorts of the masses, are about to go
out of business until after the war.
Germany is about out or coffee.
The last two years the Germans
have used reserve supplies of coffee
from Hamburg and Bremen. Ant
werp's supply augmented this when
it fell to the Germans in 1914. There
since has been a little from Holland
and Scandinavia.
The British have so effectively
stopped shipments to ports reshipping
to Germany that none is available
now. Germany is brewing the last Of
her precious berries. Before the war
Germany imported about SIS million
dollars worth of coffee a year, most
ly from Brazil and Guatemala.

State Federation Dates.

Attention of club women is called
to the fact that both the fourth and
fifth districts Of the state federation
have changed their date of meeting.
On account of infantile paralysis in
Billings, the club of that city asked to
set their time of meeting ahead to
October 25 and &c. At the same time
they requested the club at Red Lodge
to change their date at the same time
in order that one day might be spent
in joint session at Billings. Therefore
the date of the fourth district meet
ing at Red Lodge will be October "a
and 25, allowing October 26 for at
tendance at Billings.

HIGH SCHOOL TO GIVE
AGRICULTURE COURSE
FOUR-YEAR STUDY PROGRAM
MAPPED OUT FOR FERGUS
FARMER BOYS.

Lewistown.-In line with the ma
tionwide movement to relate school
ing to actual life, the county high
school here will give a winter course
in agricultural subjects beginning
Monday, November 6.
A four-year old schedule has been
mapped out. During the first year,
agriculture, farm mathematics, man
ual training and English will be given.
The work will continue until spring
opens and the students enrolled are
called back to the farm.
The work will be especially adapted
to boys on the farm and the subjects
will be grouped around farm inter
ests. Hitherto a number of boys
have gone outside the county each
year to get instruction of this ma
nature, but it is felt that the work
can be given just as efficinetly and
more concretely at the county higl
school because of the possibility Of
taking up home problems and study
ing farming conditions at first hand

How the Women's Club of Living
ston took matters in hand and cleaned
up the town may well be of inter
est to all who are interested in civic
affairs. So thoroughly was the job
done that Mrs. 0. B. Johnson was
asked to relate the story before the
meeting of the State Press association
held at Livingston last m This
she did by reciting it in rhyme which
was greeted with hearty applause.
1t is worthy of note that the civic
department of the club started the
work first by taking a short cours in
civics. thus showing their apprecia-
ton of the fact that the matter
should be attacked through the chan
mel of municipal legislation. Conse-
quently a campaign of getting women
registered was first carried on, leaf
lets we're distributed calling attention
to the Importance of the election and
at the primary election in August
more women in proportion than men
cast their ballots.
Having thus reused the interest of
the women in municipal affairs, the
members of the club then volunteered
their assistance in working with the
city health officer in inspecting ho-
tells, restaurants, and stores. They
also helped in securing convictions
in the cases Of butchers and milk

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

Besides Jeanette Rankin of
Montana, two other women are
now nominees for congress.
Mrs. Frances G. Axtell of Wash
ington is a nominee on the pro-
gressive ticket. She is a strong
supporter of Wilson and it is
said she will receive the support
of the democrats in her cam
paign.
Mrs. Josephine Marshall Fer
nand is the democratic nominee
for congress from the fourth dis
trict of California. Mrs. Fer
nand is the mother of three chill
dren. She is carrying on a Wig
orous campaign despite the fact
that she states her own case
without criticising her oppon-
emit.
Should these three women be
elected, Congress will not only
admit women to It's body for the
first time in it's history, but will
also secure a woman representa-
tive from each party, republican,
democratic and progressive.

Many Farmers Members.

While it did not abandon any of its
city activities, the new chamber of
commerce decided to be or real SER
vice to the farmers of the county.
The best evidence of the appreciation
of this attitude is the large number
of farmers who have become men,
bers, paying the annual fee of $40.
Cows were brought into the county
from eastern states and sold to the
farmers on time with a low rate of
interest. Every deal make was one
of profit to the farmers and the cham
Der has not been called upon to make
good any note taken in payment of
stock bought.
With the establishment of a free
employment bureau the chamber be-
came a meeting place of those desiring
help or looking for work.
