NORTH COUNTIES ELECT OWEN

Northern Wisconsin has again de-
cided an important state election as
important perhaps as any held in
the last decade. AS official returns
poured in from every county in the
state, it early became evident that
the northern counties would again
turn the tide--a tide which Milwau-
kee newspapers have so frequently
availed themselves of to announce
the outcome Of state election as
soon as they found out the result
in Milwaukee.
Attorney General owen has been
elected to the state supreme court
by majority running between nine
and ten thousand Of the thirty six
counties north of line running east
and west through the center of the
state, owen carried twenty-four with
majority of 10,500 more than the
majority by which the election was
decided. .-Rhinelander New North.

"It has been suggested to me by
the Attorney General that in view
of the present unsettled condition OF
the country's foreign affairs it is
important that every available pre-
caution should be taken to guard
against acts hostile to the interests
and welfare Of the people and the
Government of the United States,
and to this end to use all possible

ence to secure general and constant
vigilance in detecting and thwarting
hostile and unfriendly acts and in
discovering those who are engaged
in them before they can accomplish
their purpose.
You are cautioned in carrying out
these suggestions to avoid any ac-
ton which would tend to stir up the
foreign population of the country by
unwarranted arrests or to cause ap-
prehension on the part of such pop
ulation Of unfair treatment, and to
arrange that all contemplated ar
rests in so far as the circumstances
will permit, be submitted to the

SAVE SEED ENDS OF POTATOES
County Agent Suggests PrcfitaoIe
Plan New That Seed Potatoes
are High and Scarce

A lady living north of Ladysmith
has devised practical method of
securing potatoes for seed and at
the same time having plenty of po-
tatoes for" the table. Each time as
she pares potatoes for the meal she
cuts the "seed end or "bud end"
from the potato leaving piece
about one-half inch thick. This piece
is saved for seed. In this way only
from one-fourth to one-fifth Of the
flesh Of the potato will be needed to
provide seed and the remainder of
the potato can be cooked for table
use. These "seed ends range from
one-fifth to one-seventh Of an ounce
in weight, whereas, in the usual
method, the piece used for seed
weighs about ounces. At the ordi-
nary rate of planting should make
available SIS pounds of potato flesh,
which under ordinary conditions,
would be planted per acre.
From day to day these ''bud
as they are being prepared for the
table The cuttings then should be
spread out Oh a piece Of paper in
a cool room and allowed to remain
there until they have cured; that
is until the surface has become
dried. The seed pieces should then
be wrapped in paper and put in the
coolest part of the cellar. The room
should be as cool as possible and be
insured against frost. This will
prevent shriveling.
The small size of the seed pieces
will make it necessary to prepare
the soil more thoroughly. The more
finely the soil is pulveriZed. the
better chance the small seed pieces
will have to establish themselves A
small seed piece as described above
will seldom grow i'll rough, lumpy or
dried out soil When this method
Of planting is used the best results
will be obtained when the seed
pieces are dropped about ten inches
apart in the row. These "bud ends
should not be planted deeper than
three inches in clay loan soil and
not deeper than four inches in any
other soil
The outlook for high priced pota-
toes at harvest time is very bright
and all farmers in Rusk county are
urged to join their local potato
growing association in order that
large quantities Of pure bred seed
may be purchased During the. past
week the county agricultural repre-
sentative has received orders for car
load lots of pure bred seed potatoes
from five different cities in addition
to twenty-one inquiries for lots small
er than carloads. 1t is unfortunate
that the major portion of these or
ders could not be filled due to the
fact that many farmers Of the coun-
ty have not realized the value of
growing a pure bred product.

The fourth and last quarter OF the
present school year begins Monday
April 10Th
During the VACATION week all of
the Seniors and some Of the Juniors
visited a country school, spending
the entire day. The Seniors are re-
quired to write a detailed report of
the visit as part of the examina-
ton in School Management.
Some teachers have asked where
they can get material for bird study.
The following can be had free of
charge: Farmers Bulletin No. 609
on Bird Houses, and Bulletins from
the State Conservation Commission
at Madison. The Manual Arts Press,
Peoria. ILL.,, publishes ''Bird Houses
that Boys Can Build" (50c); Double
day, Page & Co., Garden City, N. Y.
Pocket Bird Guide (75c); D. Apple
ton G Co., Chicago, Ill. Bird Book
($1.50.).
Arbor Day comes this year May
3rd. This is a good day for bird
study. Would it not also be a good
time for that cleaning which the
school ground needs after the long
winter? How about planting a tree
or two, if you can get some children

the vacation? Leave a record of the

Are you getting ready for that
diploma examination? How are the
reviews coming on? The principal
of the training school has a few old
examination sets which he will be
glad to lend you.
Are any of your pupils planning to
enter the corn and oats contests?
Would it not be a good joke on
Supt. Rice and Mr.. Householder, and
also an immense benefit to the coun-
ty, if the number of contestants
would be so great as to swamp
them? Let US try to have this
county have the largest ratio Of
contestants in the state.

ciation Ray Smith, called the other
day. He is already beginning to
make arrangements for the annual
alumni banquet He evidently be
lieves in the wisdom Of the slogan of
this school: "Plan early; plan thor
oughly; success is then sure to
come.'
School boards who are wise are
already beginning to engage their
teachers for next year The follow
ing young people will finish the
