Dinner for Census Takers

Next Thursday night the
latest official census returns of
Washburn will be made known
at a dinner at Hotel Washburn,
when Secretary Heermans of
the Commercial club will make
public the results and figures
of the house-to-house census
taken by a corps of High school
students.
The dinner is given in homer
of the Is young people who
volunteered to do the work and
it was thought that no more
than right by the Commercial
Club secretary that the students
should be the first to hear the
results. So far, no student who
participated, has the slightest
mixing Of the correct figures
gathered by any other census
taker in the groupe.
In addition to the Is people
who did such work, making a
complete and thorough canvass
of the whole city within the cor
porate boundaries, there will
be Mayor Macleod, President
Bergman of the Merchants
Association, President Peavey
of the Commercial Club, Super
intendent G. D. Hyper of the
C ity schools, and Mrs. G. A.
Lien, president of the Woman's
council, and all local clergymen,
and representative of the News
and Times newspapers.

A stock judging contest was held
at Ashland Junction last Friday.
The Washburn boys are to be con-
graduated on the excellent showing
made against their more experienced
competitors. The result of the con-
test was Washburn 766 points, Bay
field 1901. A perfect score card
would have yielded 1900 points.
The only stock available was dairy
cows. Mr.. Post, the Ashland Coun-
ty agent supervised the contest. The
boys profited great deal from the
work. The winners go to Madison
next month to enter the state stock

WI.y Not Be Sensible?

To the ennuicd of earth who arc

If you have never tried looking a.
things in a sensible way you cannot
imagine what supreme delights there
are in an excursion into this little fire.

There are drawbacks, TO be sure But
the drawbacks are greatly outweighed
by the advantages. We have known
people who. after leading unsensible
lives from early childhood. have taken
up the sensible life and have never LED
any other life from that time on. That
however, is going to extremes and is
therefore TO be carefully Stunned, but
it only goes to show how being sens:

X. s. Notes

Thirty-iv ri d inrile
entered tae ;I,-h 1.-i,."a Mosstn,
morning Of il Ell. wi.en the
new semester started.
The programs are pretty well
started, the main difficulty arising in
the fact that it is very hard to find
class rooms for the various subjects
necessary. This shows how badly
we are in need of a new High
School.
A night janitor has taken his place
at the Walker building and the
thermometer certainly shows results.
After such a severe blizzard as
was experienced Sunday it surprised
great many people to find that
school was held on Monday. How
ever, the snow pillow was at work
early.
A reading table has been placed
in the assembly room and some new
chairs have been purchased. This
has been done owing to the fact
that the library had to be converted
into a recitation room.
Tuesday morning there were
some interesting opening exercises
held. Various members of the upper
classes initiated the Freshmen. They
were led up stairs by Warren War
den and Earl Geisert and marched
around the room. They were then
led in some songs by Warren War
den. Several other stunts were
performed under the supervision of
Catherine Beers. Our noted speak
er Clayton Robinson favored the
Freshmen with few words. Several
of the Senior boys helped carry the
plans through from the rear of the
room.
To the Parents:-
Please do not send your children
to school in the morning SO early
that they get there before $3.50 nor
at noon so that they get there be-
fore 100 p. m, The teachers are
not there before that time and the
pupils run wild over the building.
Much of the trouble between pupils
occurs at the time when the teacher
is not present.
Will the parents who live fairly
close to the schools refrain from
allowing their pupils to take their
lunches on ordinarily cold days.
There are a great many country
people who have to bring their lunch
and it makes it too crowded when
so many are eating at the school.
They are not supervised at noon
either and are getting careless
about throwing their scraps of food
around. Unless there is less of this
we will have to discontinue lunch
ing in the school.
Very truly yours,
G. d. Hyper

IDLE WIVES" AT ~
FOX HOUSE TO-DAY

Cold weather meant nothing to Fox
patrons last night, for they turned out
stronger than ever to see idle Wives.
that wonderful seven part morality
drama that opened for three days yes
terday. And they were well repaid
for their temerity in yenturipg out
Into the Arctic atmosphere, for they
saw something that will live in their
memories and leave a deep impress
sion for years to come. There is a Sc
we're and thoroughly necessary moral
lesson woven into the threads of one
of the best stories that has been pre-
sented In any form for MANY months
In idle Wives, and it is moral
with such far-reaching appeal that
there is no one, man, woman or child,
who can claim that he is not touched
by it. For there/is no one Of US who
is entirely satisfied with his lot: all
Of us feel, from time to time, discon-
tented with our position, our friends,
our circumstances, our Ives and our
very selves, and in idle Wives, this
subject Of discomfort is taken up in
three different ways, by three differ
ent sets Of characters and led to it's
logical conclusion. According to the
story OF the picture, the greatest
C@kAS0 O1 ulSCOIlGSuL 10 1OIcI4OSS, duu IL
is a well-known adage that there is
always mischief for idle hands to
work at. One particular phase of the
question is shown in the life of
wealthy woman, whose domestic du-
ties are so wen taken care of by hire
!, lings that time hangs heavy on her
hands. She Minds that life as wife Of
a rich man fails to satisfy her. Rich
ard, her husbands brother, appeals to
her to take his part in his contem-
plated marriage to Alberta, who has
been lead astray as a young girl, md
is the mother OF a fatherless child.
His family repudiate him when they
hear of his plans, and the wife, un-
able to tolerate any further the orti-
ficianty OF their life, returns to her
former work among the lowly. An
| other character who has strong
bearing on the story is Molly Shane,
headstrong young girl, who deftes her
family and runs away with N un-
Scrupulous cadet, named Larry. Her
awakening is q bitter one, for h0 re-
fuses to marry her, and she lives on
| in shame, avoiding her father, who is
searching the world for her. Exat,l-
| pie after example Is presented irlsA
gripping and graphic manner OF the
! various phases OF discomfort and the
consequences that follow thereupon.
idle Wives will be shown again to-
| dy and tomorrow. There will be a

then you stop trying
I hate that point OF view.
It is, one of the half truths that do
more harm than lies.
A Broken Vow Is Not An Absolution
Doubtless vows do do harm when
one feels that In breaking them one
has been absolved from trying again
until next New Years day. But why
on earth should one feel that way?
New Years resolutions may not
accomplish miracles Few things do.
But they are a step In the right di-
rection. They don't furnish the stick
to-it-iveness. We have to do that
ourselves. But they furnish q defi-
mite goal They trace out q path.
