SCHOOL BOARD OF
 WOMEN IS PRAISED
(From Thursdays Daily.1

The erection of such a school house at Miller Valley on fund of $5,S00 called for glowing tribute to the three women who are trustees of that district by ?. w. O'Sullivan, the first speaker on the program given by the school last evening. Certainly, Mir. O'Sullivan said, if men had directed the expenditure of that money, the school. to be as fine and well equipped as it is, would have cost twice as much.
 The school auditorium was crowd ed by patrons of the school and many people from Prescott last evening. Mir. O'Sullivan was called to make the opening address, and he told of how he, as county attorney, had drawn the papers on which the bond issue was voted. He recalled the six years he had taught school, and ad- vocated the stressing of the common branches of learning. The weekly public appearance of the pupils, h, recommended very strongly, as this will give the pupil confidence, and train him in the art of expressing himself. Patriotism is another thing that should be taught in the schools, he said. The school is the greatest factor in intoxicating patriotic spiri' in the people, because it deals with the most receptive mind, that of the very young person.
 The program included two piano solos by Miss Elizabeth Dougherty readings by Miss Sheldon, vocal solo by F. C. Suman, particularly happy talk by Rev. Joel F. Hedgpeth violin solo by Mir. Hewin, with Miss Bernice Benton, accompanist two delightful readings by Mrs. Fay Fox Southworth, and vocal solo by Gary Vyne. Each number was so heartily applauded that it had to be encored.
 After the program, ice cream and cake and candies were served. Ths entertainment was directed by the trustees, Mrs. Joe Dougherty. Mrs. E C Well and Mrs. Edna Prannen,

WE'LL s WILL IS A REMARKABLE
 DOCUMENT
MILWAUKEE REALTY MAN DESIGNATES WITH AN EXQUISITE CARE THE DISPOSITION OF VALU- ABLE AND BIG ESTATE.
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 Remarkably explicit is the will oi the late Charles B. Well. well-to-do Milwaukee realty dealer, who died here recently. The document was filed, together with petition for let ters of administration by Richard Lamson yesterday.
 Well includes two colleges and a religious order among the benefciar- ics of his estate. Amherst college in Massachusetts gets IS per cent of the proceeds from the sale of his inter ests in the Benjamin F. Wells Sons Company and the Milwaukee Downer college receives 10 per cent. A like amount goes to some Jewish religious order to be selected by the executors and another sum of the same size to the City of Milwaukee to be expended on parks or playgrounds.
 The disposition of the estates stock in the company is rather remarkably handled. One-third is to be offered for sale to brother of the deceased; another third is offered for sale in specified amounts to Herman Pfeil, II. l.. Peterson, Charles A. Boedeck- CT, IT,, Peter Adrianson and R. D. Kessler. The other third is to be offered for sale to Frank T. Furlong, provided the latter, at the time. has been in the employ of the Benjamin F. Wells Sons Company for a period of five years. The directions for sell ing this stock are set out in the will with exquisite care. George F. Car roll. who is named in the will as a man familiar with the situation in Mexico. is offered the estates inter ests in various Mexican enterprises, including the Mexico Land & Coffee Company.
 All the books, pictures, furniture and other articles of personal na- ture, are given into the care of Sara Well, the testator's mother, with the request. but not the order to distri- bute them among relatives in accord with what she knows of the testator's wishes. Mrs. Well and Benjamin Well, . brother, are made the execut- CTS of the will.
 Judge Smith set the date for the hearing of the petition for April 18th. The estate, it is understood, is of great value, but the exact value can not be determined until the assets arc disposed of in the manner prescribed by the will. Relatives and friends are bequeathed that portion of the estate remaining after the colleges and oth- CT institutions have been cared for.
 Veil was a classmate of Lamson at Amherst college.

UNITS FOR THE BIC LEDGE
 SHELTER
ONE IN OPERATION, SEC OND BEING RUSHED TO COMPLETION, THIRD IS ON GROUND AND SOON WILL BE INSTALLED.
(From Fridays Daiiy.)

The following statement has been issued by the management of the Big Ledge Copper Company:
 The first smelling unit is treating l5O tons of orc per day, from which the output is E tons of copper matte, averaging 70 per cent copper and s60 per ton in gold and silver. Based on these figures. the present production is at the rate of 4.320,0m pounds cop per and S324.0O gold and silver per annum.
 The second smelting unit of 500 tons capacity is mp and in place and is being rushed to completion, so that before July lst the two units will have a combined net daily orc capacity of 600 tons. At this rate of production, the Big Ledge Company will produce at the rate of l7,2SoOOO pounds of copper and Sl ,2o6, 900 gold and silver per annum. Figuring copper at 3Oc per pound this indicates total gross annual earnings at the rate of S6.4So,- coo, of which s3,456,0OO should be net and applicable to dividends. This is equivalent to about so per cent on the stock outstanding.
 "The third smelling unit of 400 tons daily capacity is on the ground and will be set up as quickly as possible, thus giving total reduction capacity of 1000 tons net per day. With the entire plant in operation the indicated gross earnings are at the rate of SlO,- S0O,OO0 per annum. of which S5,760,OO should be net and aplicable to divi- dcnds. This is equivalent to over 7s Der cent on the outstanding stock"

HOW TO SELECT MOST
 FOOD FOR ONES MONEY

WASHINGTON, March 9-The following suggestions on getting the iiost food for ones money are from United States department of agricul- ture farmers bulletin S0S. How to Select Foods"
 Use cereals (hour, meal, cereal breakfast foods, etc. freely, taking pains to prepare them with great care and to vary the kind used from day 10 day if necessary to keep people from tiring of them.
 Remember that quart of whole milk a day for each child, to be used 2s a beverage and in cookery, is not too much.
 Plan carefully both in buying and in serving.
 Do not be ashamed to plan closely Thrift in food means providing enough food, neither too little nor too much.
 Notice carefully how much of such staples as four, sugar, milk, cooking fat, etc, is used each week for a month, and sec if there are any ways of cutting down the quantity needed.
 Buy non-perishable materials in quantities if better prices can be &C., cured and there is good storage place in the home. Neighbors can sometimes club together to get lower rates.
 Estimate carefully how much of any material will be needed before laying in a supply, then see that none is wasted by careless handling.
 Try to make the dishes served of such size that there will be enough to satisfy the appetite of the family and no unnecessary table and plate waste.
 Do not be above noticing whether anything usable is thrown away with the garbage, which always shows how thriftily food is used in household.
 Many inexpensive materials can be made attractive and the diet can be pleasantly varied by wise use of different havorings.
 "Finicky" tastes in food often pre- vent the use of many valuable materi- als which might be the means of say ing money.
 Good food habits arc an importan. part of personal hygiene and thrift. Children get such habits by having suitable amounts of suitable foods served to them and then being ex- pected to eat what is set before them.
 True economy lies not only in buy ing wisely but also in making the full est possible use of what IS bought.

 It is a common occurrence for the crews of the Zeppelin, wounded to death and falling from a great height, The reason for the chain and bar is to blow out their brains with their revolvers, rather than 10 die by fall ing sometimes many thousands of feet.

BOY BURGLAR IS
 CAUGHT AFTER SMALL JOB
(From Fridays Dsily0

The petty burglar who has been plundering aimlcssly about Prescott for several days, may have been dis covered in the arrest yesterday of a le-year old boy. after he had been caught inspecting the interior of the Walter Hill home. He was taken into custody by Robt Robbins and lodged
 in the city jail. The hearing will be held before Magistrate F. (. Whis- man this afternoon.
 Identified positively by Mrs. Hill as the young fellow who had leaped out . back window as she entered the house about 2:30 yesterday afternoon. the prisoner declined to give his name and would not talk much except to maintain he had just hit town that morning. A bunch of skeleton keys found in his possession convince the officers that the boy may know more about the other little lootings than he cares to say. It was thought he might have been identified with the entering of rooms in the Brinkmeyer hotel yesterday.
 Mrs. Hill had taken Mir. Hill down to his office and returned, when she found the young man in the house. He had made a thorough search and had acquired only quarter and nickel Mir. Hill had left for the young daughter to attend a matinee. This money was found on his person.
 Mrs. Hill called (. H. Riebeling, who chanced to be passing, and the two made a search through the neighborhood. Robbins was notified by phone, and later, discovered the suspect calmly cooking himself some food in a gulch near the city. On their way to the jail, they met Mrs. Hill, who identified the prisoner as the person who had exited so hastily | from her house.

ZEPPELIN RAID IS
 GRAPHICALLY DESCRIBED
(From Thursdays Daily.0

(FrOm Thursdays Daily.b
 There is no more spectacular war scene than the midnight conflict be- tween London aircraft and Zeppclins, according to C. c. Lemmons, who is in Prescott from the English capital in connection with the financing of the proposed smelter. Lemmons viewed many battle scenes in France and Belgium, and saw great deal of the war from the side of the British. But the bringing down of Zeps, he says, is the major outdoor sport.
 The moment it is known that the Zeps are coming, London practically ceases to breathe. The most intense silence reigns. People refuse to re- main indoors or under any sort of shelter, but defy police and soldiers, and crowd the streets and the tops of buildings, all believing that if any thing drops. it will be the other fellow who will be mangled.
 Aside from the sad part of 1t, the death and injury of women, children and other non-combatants, and the destruction of non-military property, the Zeppelin raids afford spectacular sort of amusement for the British public, as so far as harm goes, are not in the least effective as a military move
 Lenmons says that immediately the Zeppelins show up, numbers of German spies are seen on the roofs oi buildings. flash-lighting signals and directions to the invading aircraft. It is habituai for the police and military 10 maintain watch patrols on high buildings. and as they spot these sig nal stations, they direct raiding forces thither. Very few of the spies are caught, as rule, but some thousand of them have in the course of the en- tire war, and they ''go to the tower" " where they are executed.
 As the Zeppelins are located, ap- bearing against the sky like long silver colored cigars, the airplanes rise in perfect swarm and the sound of their exhausts is heard all over the city. The anti-aircraft guns. mount ed on the principal high buildings and in the public parks, get the range, and the shells begin to burst around the invaders. Bombs are dropped from the German sky-craft in reply, and the airplanes continue circling. When they reach a level higher than that of the airships, they drop rockets which light the Zeps with weird blue light, and these rockets guide the range finders. The newer airplanes are equipped with two giant bombs, to which chain and bar are attached.
