JUMPS ON A BEAR

Freeman Russ is always getting
his foot in it," in other words step
ing on dangerous things. Not long
ago he jumped off small shed onto
a spike, which incident made a lasting
impression on Freeman, particularly
on his foot. Last Friday he was out
hunting deer II miles east of Exc
land, On Nail creek. He had been
standing on windfall looking around
for buck and finally jumped off. He
alighted on something soft, that grunt
ed and squirmed around, and about
this time Freeman made a jump that
would entitle him to the worlds cham
pionship if he could duplicate it be
fore witnesses. Looking back from
a safe distance he saw a bear get
ting to his feet, and well placed
bullet dropped Mr.. Bruin in his
tracks
Freeman will be independent O.
the meat trust this winter. The bea
weighed IT'S pounds and he alst
brought home fine buck.

HAS CLOSE CALL

The Chetek man who was shot
through the nose last week, near
Murry, but whose name we were un-
able to ascertain, was Leo Albrecht,
We learn from the Chetek Alert. The
Alert describes the accident as fol
lows:
Escaped death by a nose, fig
uratively and literally speaking, is
the experience of Leo Albrecht of
this city.
Leo was out dear hunting with a
party of four, 23 miles northeast OF
Ladysmith. He and his hunting COM
panion were going through the woods
a step part, Leo in the rear, when,
ping! bullet whizzed by his left eye
and bored hole through his nose.
Safety first caused Leo to drop in his
tracks for he feared the hunter
might take another shot at him, but
nothing more was heard and no trace
of any one could be found in the inn
mediate neighborhood No one knows
who fired the shot.
Leo hurried back to Ladysmith as
quick as possible where his. wound
was dressed and then he came home
to Chetek Fortunately the injury will
cause little inconvenience and will not
disfigure him any. At any rate Leo
is glad that he is home and that he
escaped with his life. The accident
happened Tuesday

!: TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES !:
"a ) ) ) ) = )

Last Saturday round table con-
ference of tachers was held in the
school building at Bruce. About a
dozen teachers of the rural schools
were present. They were teachers
whose schools had been inspected
by the Supervising Teacher Of this
county, Miss Wegner.
Miss Wegner brought out some OF
the good things she had seen and com.
mented ON their value. She also
spoke of some of the things which IN
her Judgment needed improvement.
The teachers were then called upon
each to give some device she used
in her teaching Some excellent ideas
Were brought out.
The Principal of this school who
ing was very much impressed with
the alive-ness of the teachers. It
was very clear that these teachers
We're doing some Independent think
ing which cannot help but react IA
vorably on the children they are
teaching He was also impressed with
the fact that meetings Of this kind
are Of great value, largely because
ON account of the small number in
attendance they are informal. The
spread eagle style Of the average
institute conductor is absent; only
such problems come up for discussion
which belong to the schools repre-
sented. AS a result these meetings
are practical and accomplish some
thing worth while. 1t would be an
excellent thing for this county, if
meetings of this kind could be ar
ranged for in every section two Or
three times a year.
The first mothers meeting of this
year was held by the model school
last Wednesday. The regular work
of the practice teachers and of Mis-
ses Crow and Parfrey was shown, so
that the mothers had an opportunity
to see their children actually taught.
At the close of the session some of
the practice teachers entertained the
mothers by repeating the readings
which they had presented at the an
nual reading contest a week before.
Refreshments were served. That the
meeting was a success may be seen
from the fact that II out of a pos
sible 19 mothers were in attendance.
Another meeting will be held in few
weeks. We hope that all the moth
will make special effort to attend.
The number of young people in the
county who are doing correspondence
study in this school is slowly in
creasing. Arithmetic, Algebra, ply
sical Geography and Composition are
the subjects being taught at the
present time. Only a few more stu
dents can be admitted to this work fol
the balance of the school year. II
you are thinking about correspond
ence work, it is advisable that you
make the necessary arrangements al
once.

TRIVIAL ACCIDENT
CAUSES DEATH

Robert Weston, aged 4S years, died
about 4:3O this afternoon of gan
creme poisoning.
While splitting kindling recently
with an axe, Mr.. Weston cut a cash
in his left foot. At first it gave
him no trouble and he paid little at
tention to the injury Finally gan
creme set in and in an effort to
save his life, two of his toes were
first removed, followed, on Wednes-
day, by the amputation of the leg
just below the knee. The poison
had so permeated his system, how
ever, that it was impossible to save
him.
Deceased is survived by his wife
and large family of children.

cember 7th and Sth this same group

the subject of dairying will be thor
oughly threshed out. On December
18th and 18th an institute will be held
tical farmers. The subject Of dairy
ing and potato raising will be the
main topics In connection with the
Weyerhaeuser Institute Miss Nellie
Maxwell, of Necedah, will give lee
lures and conduct cooking and other
home economic demonstrations for
the. ladies. This practical institute
including both the mems and women's
department will be repeated at Bruce

farmers in the trading vicinity Of the
towns mentioned are most cordially
invited to attend any or all of these
sessions and take part in the discus

present.
A deal in potatoes wss closed last
week which gives some insight into
the possibilities of Rusk county as a
potato producing section.
C. P. Coon, Of Beldenville, Rusk
County, sold 3074 bushel of his Green
Mountain potatoes to buyers in Gin
cinnati, Ohio. The buyers paid Mr..
Coon $4,000 for his potatoes and they
assumed the expense Of sacking and
shipping the same. Mr. Coon retained
500 bushels which he will use as seed
next spring
This total yield Of 5000 bushel was
produced on % acres of practically
new land A portion Of the field in
cluded the old lumber yards of the
Beldenville Lumber Company
A strict book account was kept up
on this crop The labor cost $52S.4S
and the seed $449.50. Miscellaneous
expenses including spray material
cost $98. The taxes on the land cost
$3.50. Rent of the land figured at $5
per acre, $140, leaves a net profit
on the crop Of over $4,000
This cannot be considered an ex-
ceptional yield or an extraordinary
profit for Mr. Coon. For the past
several years he has grown in the
neighborhood of thirty acres and in
each case the net profit over and
above the production cost has many
times over paid for the land upon
which the spuds were grown.

easily nave SOlu SoF0TdI CaTIOdCS dC
