MILITARY TRAINING FOR BOYS
Capt. M. D. Imhoff of National Guard
Will Drill Inmates Of Green
Bay Reformatory.

Milwaukee - A system of military
training for inmates at the state re-
formatory for boys at Green Bay has
been adopted by the state board OF
control, according to w. H. Graebner,
member of the board. Beginning OCT.
/, militarp training will be a part OF
the daily routine at the institution.
Capt M. D. Imhoff of Milwaukee has
been engaged to direct the work ana
he will take charge in October. Under
direction Of the board, he is on trip
of inspection through eastern instltu-
tons where this system has been IN
vogue and worked with great success.
Capt Imhoff is expected back IN
Milwaukee within a few days when ne
will outline program of gymnastics,
drills, marches and similar exercises.
Practice with guns will not be held IN
til later, as the reformatory has no
equipment.
In speaking of the innovation, Mr..
Graebner said: ''This will be a
permanent part of the reformatory
routine and will be the first time this
training will be given to inmates OF
any state institution There is need for
such training and it has recreational
values, besides making the boys more
manly and giving them more back
bone 1t will be better for them than
to SLOUGH around in off hours"

HULL LEADS ON LATE COUNT
Returns from Northern Counties
Change Positions of Candidates
for Secretary of State.

Milwaukee-In the race for the Re-
publican nomination for secretary of
state Merlin Hull has forged ahead of
George L. Harrington. The last thir-
teen counties heard from gave Hull
13,205 votes against 10000 for Harring-
ton, which gave Hull the lead. Har-
rington's earlier lead was cut down by
returns from northern counties. 1t is
now certain that the final primary
election returns will not make any
changes in the balance of the repub-
lican state ticket Gov. Phillip will
be re-nominated by vote about equal
to the number of ballots cast for his
two opponents, VIM. H. Hatton and
r. e. McGovern. Edward F. Dithmar,
for lieutenant governor; Henry john
son, for state treasurer, and Walter G..
Owen for attorney general, all have
safe majorities. Supporters of Gov.
Philip claim that republicans nomi-
mated for the state senate and assem-
bly, include rs Philip adherents and
38 La Toilette men. In eleven con-
tests the result is doubtful.

Acres of Land PIowed in
Two Hours.

Madison Fine weather and an i'm
mense crowd marked the final day OF
the farm tractor demonstration show
here. The show ran four days and
was highly successful in every way.
The number of tractors shown was
nearly 100, varying in size from the
big machine used on large western
farms to the little machine which is
designed for average Wisconsin farms.
The attendance for the four days
was about $4,000 persons. Most of the
spectators were practical farmers from
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, the Da-
kotas and other states, who wanted to
be shown the practicability of the farm
tractor for their farms.
Farm women seemed to be as much
interested as their men, because the
farm tractor furnishes a cheap and
practical power for running churns,
washing machines, cream separators,
vacuum cleaners, electric lighting
plants and many other things used in
and about the modern farmhouse.
The last day of the demonstration
seventy-f1ve tractors plowed about 200
acres of land on the Allis farm, the
demonstration grounds, in two hours.

POsTOFFlCE SAFE BLOWN UP
Sanborn Citizens Are Held at Bay
While Robbers Take 5000 in
Stamps and Money.

Ashland The postoffice at Sanborn,
near here, was robbed in wild west
style. While two yeggmen entered the
building and blew up the safe another
was stationed on the outside and pa
rolled the grounds with a revolver in
each hand. He fred five shots while
his companions worked on the safe, to
brighten away any one who dared in
terfere. Although many Sanborn resi-
dents living nearby were awake, they
did not approach the postofice for fear
of being shot More than 5000 in
stamps and money was taken. The
burglars made their escape on a gaso-
line railroad car stolen from a section
house. The car was abandoned after
three miles. This is the second time
in three months a postohice in Ash
land county has been robbed. One at
Marengo was looted in June.

the filing of a claim under the work

crime Bischoff, wife of George Bischoff,
the chauffeur who was shot and killed
while sitting in a taxicab and the
cause of whose death as to motive has
since remained a mystery.
Mrs. Bischoff bases her claim on the
fact that her husband was killed while
performing service growing out Of and
incidental to his employment as a taxi
cab driver.
The claim in reality is against the
Travellers Insurance company. The
hearing on the claim has just been
held here before Industrial Commits

Speed Of American Spending.

Pleasure is limited by the time to-
enjoy it; In enjoyment, time is more
than money.
II is forgetfulness of this fact which
makes much of our American spending
banal and sterile. With much money
to spend and few hours in which to
spend II we become addicted to quick,
concentrated, expensive pleasures. We
cannot initiate the placid, fruitful econ
Omy of the Teuton, who takes his beer
and music inexpensively and at his
leisure. Nor are we like that abstemi-
GUS German professor who, on his va
cations, travelled on the slowest Bum
melzug because that way the joyous
trip lasted longer. The meteoric flights
of our tourists through Europe are in
point; the automobile, also, illustrates
the nervousness and swiftness of our
pleasures. Motoring is broadening and
delightful, but we are rushing into this
amusement with more than our usual
national abandon. and hardly even find
time TO speed. When a pleasure be-
comes the vogue, conveniences and
even necessities are sacrificed to It,.
