VAUSAU e
RAPIDS Is
(Fron Saturdays Daily.

The basket ball game played at
Wausau last evening between the
Grand Rapids High School team and
the Wausau team resulted in a vic
;ory for Wausau by a score of 25 to IS.
The score at the end of the first half
vas II to 4 favor of Wausau. The
Wausau boys out played the home
team on their own floor, but it was
doubtful to the spectators whether
hey could beat them on neutral
floor.
The Grand Rapids team was out of
form last night and did not play up to
heir standard. However they are not
discouraged. They will play Waupun
1T Waupun on Friday Feb. 10. Med
ford at Medford on Tuesday Feb. %
and Marshfeld on Friday Feb. 25.
They will undoubtedly meet Wausau
again at the Stevens Point Normal
Turing the tournament.

their home life, they begin to regard
their teacher as a friend Thus the
possibilities OF that teacher are in
creased many fold.
Then the boy or girl who finds it
impossible to learn things that are
in books, and who are sometimes, led
to feel they are failures but who can
do things with their hands, are encour-
aged when they are given credit in
their standings at school for doing
these things.
''In the short time we have been
trying this plan, l have had many
mothers thank me for the idea, saying
that heretofore it was almost as hard
to get the youngsters to do chores and
assist with the work at home as to do
it themselves, but that since credit
is given at school for these things. the
work is done cheerfully and better.
Many girls who did not want to assist
with the cooking are now anxious to
learn SO they may be able to prepare
a meal by themselves.
mot only has the work been i'm
proved, but hygienic conditions are
better. From feeling of personal
pride pupil does not want to bring
in ''credit slip" showing he has not
had bath for two weeks, neither do
his parents want such a showing. The
same thing applies to several other
items on the credit blank.
eve have been trying out this plan
for about six months. We shall proba-
bly, have occasion to modify the appl-
cations of the principles somewhat,
but | am sure the generl idea is cor
rect. The amount of credit to be Civ
en- for this sort Of activity must nece-
ssarily be limited, that is, it must not
be allowed to assume undue proportion
in its relation to regular school work,
and at the present time we place the
maximum amount at per cent, but as
the plan is as yet in the experimental
stage, this may be changed later on
Each pupil is given a Home Credit
Blank each month, and his credit of
work is kept on this, and must be sign
ed by the parent before presenting it
to the teacher for his credits"

(By United Press Association

(By United Press Association.)
DOPETOWN, Ind, Feb. I2.-Hank
Spindleshankle's boy Freddie, south of
town, has received an offer from
vaudeville manager in New York.
Freddie has always been extremely
fond of soup and from earliest child
hood has devoted great deal of time
to becoming proficient as aneater of it.
Few Of Freddie's friends suspected
how much he really had accomplished
until he walked into the Chop & Steak
cafe on Main street the other day
and gave his first public exhibition.
Beginning modestly with ordinary in
halations and fancy gurgling on
plate of vegetable, he worked up to his
grand climax, yodling "Where Is My
Little Dog Cone" with chicken ochre
and topping off by playing "The Star
Spangled Banner" in clear comsomme.
Freddie thought his performance was
enough pay for the soup he used and
it was in the fight that ensued outside
that the vaudeville manager, here to
see a distant relative on business,
learned of Freddie's unusual accomp-
lishment and made him the offer.

Frain was walking along the sandy
shores of the Grand river few weeks

an old setting hen that had been threa-

fuss and went out to investigate. Blam

Happy with Unusual Brood.
"Motherly instinct, however, finally
allayed her fears and she is now as
happy with her youngsters as any old
hen could be with chicks.
"She scratches around the yard with
the turtles trailing after her, and when
she unearths a grub worm and chucks
as motherly hens are wont to do, the
little quadrupeds scurry to her from
every direction and gobble up the It'd
bit.

R R COMMISSION
DISAGREES With
INTERSTATE BODY
(By United Press Association


WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-State
public utilities commissions are going
to establish a Lookout Bureau at Wash
ington to keep close watch on develop
ments in the valuations placed on rail
roads by the Interstate Commerce com
mission.
Commissioners of State Public ser
vice commissions in attendance at the
Interstate Comerce Commissions hear
ings on Sponsors for the Lookout Bur
eau. After presenting their arguments
to the Commission as to the method
of conducting valuation proceedings,
the Comisioners expressed fear that
the methods unfavorable to them will
be used
One fear of the state commissioners
is that the real estate of railroads, ter
minals and rights of way, will be ap
praised at condemnation value. This
would make difference of $8,O00,O00,-
900. over the valuations as made by
State Commissions.
Some of the Commioners in attend
ance at the valuation hearings express
fear that the Interstate Commission is
hazy on the subject of valuation. Only
two members, they allege, have had
experience in valuation cases. They
are Mr.. Meyer and Mr.. Daniels; and
Daniels, the Comisioners say, has had
experience mostly with public utii-
ties rather than railroads.
If the high valuation that would be
made by following the carriers theor-
les is adopted by the Interstate Com
mission, the state officials say govern
ment ownership would be the only
thing and the most economic thing
to resort to then. Appeal has been
made to certain Senators by Commits
sioners. Senator Cummins was called
into conference and asked to lead a
possible fight.
Charles A. Prouty, former member
Of the Interstate Commission, is head
of the valuation division which pre-
pared the data for the commission to
inaugurate its hearings upon. If the
State Commissioners do not have their
| way in determining methods of valu-
| ing, they threaten to seek abolition of
the valuation division or to ask that
| it's appropriation be cut off.
| If the valuation is made the rail
roads way, allowing market or con-
demnation value, the carriers natural
Iy would be given credit for higher
assets than under the Original Cost or
physical valuation method of the state
bodies. In the instance of terminal
and right-of-way property there would
be large appreciation in values since
| the land was acquired.
The state commissioners say that
little attention has been paid by the
| Interstate Commission to the Origin
al Cost side of the proposition because
of the difficulty of determining orig
inal costs or original values. Several
state COMMISSIONS have given much con-
sideration to the original cost ques-
| ton
With the raising of funds for the
establishment Of their Lookout Bureau
the state commissioners will inaugur-
ate a fight to have the valuation made
according to their views.
