BOILER SHOP AND
WAREHOUSE BURIED.

a building of the William Rahr Sons
Co. used as boiler room and ware
house was destroyed by tire at an early
hour Saturday morning. The building
was Oh railroad property south east Of
the plant. The origin of the fire is un-
known. The loss OF the building, and
contents including malt, Kneipp malt
coffee and machinery is estimated at
about $4,000.
Failure Of the special fire alarm box
at the machine shop Of the Rahr plant,
to work when pulled the first time, by
the watchmau, William nrumm, who
discovered the blaze at 2;30 ia the
morning, delayed the arrival of the de-
par1meDt about half an hour.
When the fire department arrived it
was evident that the building was
doomed and efforts were turned to
prevent the spread of the fire. There
was no danger Of the flames getting
to the Rahr plant proper, as the burn
ing building was several rods away,
and the wind was from the opposite
direction.
The main part Of The burned building
was used as boiler shop and repair
shed 10y the Rahr Sons company
There were two additions to the build
ing on either end, where supplies Of
malt and malt coffee were stored.
Nearly all OF this stock Is badly
damaged and will be u total loss.
Only section OF the north wall OF
the burned structure remains standing
The loss is partly covered by insurance.

RURAL STUDENTS BEAT TOWN
BOYS AND GIRLS.

In recent issue of the School Board
Journal is an article bearing on the
relative high school standings of boys
and girls from the country schools, as
over against the standings Of boys and
girls who had their early training in
the city grades. There is no very
striking difference in the standings,
but such differences as there are, are
favorable to the country boy and girl,
eXcepy that their average age is about
a month and a half higher than for the
city group.
Tho most striking difference is that
the city boy and girl on the average
require 4.22 years to complete the
course, whereas the country boy and
girl on the average complete the course
in 1868 years. The number OF students
compared is not large something over
two hundred in each group-and it may
be that this showing is not entirely re-
preventative. 1t does, however, agree
with other studies that have been made
at other times. The study Just referr-
ed to was partly in Wisconsin and part
ly in Michigan. 1t may be added that
in few counties in Wisconsin the
high school inspectors find complaint
that the county superintendent is too
lax in graduation requirements for
country pupils.
II the country pupil in the high
school does oatrank the city pupil on
the average, and there seems to be a
good deal OF evidence that he does,
there are no doubt reasons for it, but
the burden of explanation is on the city
schools. The difference, if any exists,
is scarcely worth mentioning, except
for the fact that we have in Wisconsin
small group of city men who seem to
be abnormally interested in what they
call the deplorable condition OF the
country schools. That they know moth
ing about the actual conditions, except
from hearsay, is true enough, and their
ignorance of the laws Of the state in
relation TO education is evident to any
one who listens to them.
Nevertheless, this persistent reitera-
tion, If treated by school men with the
silence it deserves, is apt TO do the
state of Wisconsin rank Injustice.
Word reaches this department from
time to time that some public speaker
within the state or outside the state
quotes these irresponsible statements
Of irresponsible men to the disadvan-
tage Of Wisconsin.
In striking contrast with this period
ic wall was the statement few weeks
ago by United States government
official, whose business it is to study
country schools, to the effect that no
state in the Union had made more ad-
vancement in her country schools in
the past few years than has Wisconsin.
In subsequent statement he made 1t
even stronger, and said that no state
had done as much as had Wisconsin for
the improvement Of her country schools
in the past ten years.

Desert by No Means All Sand.

The French. who have been the
greatest explorers of the Sahara des.
ert, have corrected many false ideas
about the desert. The most conspicu-
GUS and persistent of these errors has
been the notion that the desert is
vast area of sand. The French have
proved that this is not so. In fact.
only about fifth of the Sahara is
covered with sand.

BY the bones of Thomas a Beckett,
there is no chance open yet to convince
Usher that the Bennett law democrats
were sound. Uster bolted the demo
cratic nominee for mayor of Lacrosse
and the distaSteful man was beaten.
But Peck was elected and the Bennett
law democrats haven't dug out from
the debris yet sufficiently to get
glimpse of light, Usher, of course,
can say that when a man bolts he
should make his action count, other
wise he gains nothing by kicking.

If the assemblymen who voted to re-
duce the amount to be paid newspapers
for publishing the session laws had
covered into the treasury the 10 cents
per mile which they receive for travel,
and of which they do not pay one cent,
they would not justify the charge Of
hypocrisy which they can not escape.
Had they shown a disposition to begin
the practice of economy by Topping OIL
one of their own stealings the newspap-
ers could not object TO having their
little perquisites likewise reduced.
The newspapers are under some ex-
pense, at least, in publishing the laws
in supplement form. The Legislators
steal out right the 10 cents per mile
Suppose the newspapers OF the STATE
render quid pro quo and ask them to
disgorge.

see the Prop. Oconto, which is to be
launched this afternoon at 3 O'Clock.
Ia looking over the progress made
since we we're last there, we find that
she has her machinery all in, and will

painting which is very finely done, and
especially the sky. and water scene
which far surpasses anything, in that
line we have ever saeL in a steamboat
consisting OF an island in the foreground
with houses, and harbor, and steam
tug, etc and mountains, etc, in the
background with the name Oconto in

this beautiful piece of work.

GOOD ROADS DA VS.

Governor II. d. Hatfeld's good
roads days" proclamation is as fol-
lows:
Whereas, The commercial. nnan-
cial. agricultural. horticultural, intel
lectual. social and moral development
OF our people are Influenced by means
OF communication and the condition
Of the public highways. which brings
us face to face with the need OF good
roads; and
Whereas, By improving our roads
1t is recognized that the greatest good
will come to the greatest number OF
people within the state, which will
return larger. quicker and surcr divi-
dcnds to all Of the people; and
Whereas. In this state the people
are full awakened to the benefits OF
better roads. linking together in ties
OF closer relationship the different
communities, and afrOrding avenues
OF commerce; and
Whereas. The good roads days
heretofore proclaimed In the state
have been Of great benefit to all Of
the people Of the state, as the better
concern to every citizen:
Now. Therefore, l. Henry D. Hat
field, governor of the state OF West
Virginia, do hereby set apart Tues
day and Wednesday, July IS and 10,
A. D., 1916, for road work in the
state OF West Virginia. and do desig-
nate the aforementioned days as
good roads days" and declare the
same public holidays and request
that other business be suspended, as
far as possible, and that every able
bodied citizen labor upon the public
highway OF the state during these
two days. and that the work perform
ed be OF kind that will make a last
ing and permanent Improvement,
such as dltChing. grading, dragging,
graveling, draining, etc,
1t Is encouraging that in so many
parts OF the state the citizens have
voted to issue bonds and to tax them
selves for the construction OF perma-
nent highways; but we must remem-
Der that very large percentage of
the total mileage Of our roads must
for many year be dirt roads," 1t
is upon the problem OF putting and
keeping these roads OF the country
people in good repair that the
thought and effort of all good citizens
on good roads days should be CEN
tered.
further call upon the county
court Of each county to issue n proc
lamation requesting the people to
