SMALLPOX Scare at School.

Milwaukee, Nov. 14.-Fifteen hun
dred students and the entire faculty
of the Milwaukee normal school will
be vaccinated. An order TO this effect
was issued by Health Commissioner
Lewis J. Daniels following the discoV'
ery that Miss Helen Halbach, Water
ford, a student in the school, was suf-
fering from smallpox. Miss Halbach
became i'll while attending school. Be
ing unable to continue her studies, she
sought the services of physician, who
diagnosed her illness as smallpox. She
was removed to South View hospital
When Commissioner Daniels was no
tilted of the case, he detailed -four
physicians to go TO the school and vac
cinate every person who was in the
building on Monday. The order fol-
vaccination is one of the largest Of the
kind ever made in Milwaukee. The
length of time it will take to vaccinate
all the persons who have not under
gone the treatment at some time Is
problematical. but it is believed that
it will take several days for health de
partment officials to complete Their
work. No orders TO quarantine the
school have been issued. Glasses vii
continue as usual. No serious inter
ference with the work Of the pupils is
expected while the wholesale Vacclna
ton Is in progress.

RIFLE HONORS TO REDHEAD

Camp Grant, Rockford, H., Nov. Il.
Score another bulfseye fGr the red

an American at the Germans in France
came from a red-headed man. Like
wise did a red-headed man fire the
first shot at Camp Grants rifle range
1t was a bull'Seye. There IS some
doubt, according to the dispatches, as
TO whence came the redhead who
pumped the first bullet at the Ger
mans from the American trenches In
France, but it is agreed that red
headed man fired it. There is no
doubt, however. concerning the iden-
tity and the nativity Of the man whose
rife was first to break the stiffness

the hills somewhere in Winnebago

small red mustache to correspond with
his red hair. The day was dark and
dismal. A misty rain was falling aud
there was a chill in the air that did
not promise good shooting. 1t was
better day for ducks than for targets,
but the conditions rather seemed to
suit the boys from Wisconsin, who
constitute the larger part of the Three

showed great skill with the rifle. Deer
hunting in northern Wisconsin, from
whence a large number of the men
came. has made most of Colonel
Smiths men handy with the rifle, and
a target at 100 yards was no busaboo
to most of them. There We're, how
ever, a few who had enjoyed little
practice with rifles and their scores
were no better than was expected. 1t
was noticed that their last shots were
better than the first.

When an acorn falls from the tree
it has wrapped up in its shell an unal

it ever gets a chance. 1t needs only
the environment of earth, warmth and
moisture for its work. 1t makes no
mistakes. 1t will never produce a
buckle berry bush or lemon tree. 1t
makes a speciality of oaks. Are you

Improve THE
PASTURES

Too often they are called pastures
simply out of courtesy. Weed lots,
brush lots, wood lots, would be better
names. One cause of poor pastur-
age is the blind faith in the old tradi-
ton that pasture lands naturally in
crease in fertility. Thousands of our
fields show how far from correct this
idea has been and how much land has
been wasted thru the years as a result.
Thousands of other pastures, that have
been MANFRED, coated with straw or
fortified, broken up and generally
handled in a sensible manner, show
what can be done to make these acres
productive.
