SUMMARY OF
SCHOOL LAWS

eral laws affecting the public
schools of our state, making dras-
tic changes necessary. Among
these are the Compulsory Attend
ance Act and the law requiring
compulsory vaccination of school
children. These laws all became
operative Sept. and all parents
having children Of school age
should familiarize themselves
with them. With this in view,
we have secured a summary of
these laws from Prof. j. j. Rob
berts, county examiner, which
follows;
Many inquiries come regarding
thenew school laws Compulsory
Vaccination an d Compulsory
School Attendance. The last Gen
eral Assembly passed the Com
pulsory School Attendance law,
and all children from to 10 years
inclusive, are required, by the
new law, TO attend their school
at least three-fourths Of the
time their school is in session. II
any children fail to enter school
within the first ten days, the
teacher must report TO the board
of directors and they shall find
out the reason that the children
are not in attendance. The school
board is required to make month
ly reports of the attendance of
all children to the county exami-
ner (J. j. Roberts, Hope, Ark. }
and he shall report to the prose.
cutting attorney and the state su-
perintendent, and those who fail
to comply with the law will be
prosecuted, and after the parents
or guardians of delinquent chill
dren have been notified of the
requirement of the law and fail
TO comply, then penalty of $40
for each day will be assessed.
Under this law there is no way to
get out of sending children be-
tween the ages prescribed to
school.
The Compulsory Vaccination
law came from the War Depart
ment. This law requires all
teachers and pupils in the public
schools to be successfully vacci-
mated and to present a certificate
of the same.
Both the Compulsory School
law and the Compulsory Vacci-
nation law became effective Sept.
1, 1917.
A decision from Asst. Attorney
General Campbell recently is that
all Special Districts of the county
that are now using the county
adoption books, or that have
adopted the county books, may
continue TO use the same until
the expiration of county contract,
which is January l, 1922. All
Special Districts that have not
adopted the county books will be
required to begin the state adOp-
ton at the beginning of the fall
term of school.
The school boards will he re
quired to post notices of the date
that their schools begin, said no
tees to be given atleast ten days
before school opens.

new LAW WILL Benefit
POULTRY ASSOCIATION

The regular meeting of the Water
town Poultry and Pet Stock associa-
ton last evening was we'll attended
1t came out at the meeting that quite
a few contemplate attending the con-
vention of the American Poultry asso-
citation in Milwaukee September Is to
|2S.
H. Dewint of Oconomowoc, secretary
of the Wisconsin Poultry association
was present and gave a short report
on what had occurred at the Appleton
convention and called the attention of
the members of the local association
to a recent law passed which would be
of great benefit to them. In connection
with this law it must be understood
that all land fences, and buildings
|built from money donated through
the passing of this law, by the state
not to exceed in aggregate the sum of
$4,000 shall remain the property of
the county This will give the Water
town association $500, as there are
only three associations in this county
That portion of the law which will
be of interest to the local association
is herewith reprinted:
Also to vote an amount not exceed
in the aggregate for all societies in
the county in any one year to aid in
the purchase of, or to make improve
ments upon the fair grounds for any
organized agricultural society, or to
aid any organized agricultural society
or any incorporated poultry associa-
ton in it's preparations for or conduct
of it's public exhibitions; provided that
in counties containing a city of the
second class the county board may
annually vote an amount not exceed
ing fifteen thousand dollars in the ag-
gregate for said purposes; and any
amount so voted shall be paid upon
demand by the county treasurer to
the treasurer of such organized ag-
ricultural society, who shall keep an
accurate record of the expenditures
thereof by such society and file YER
flied copy of such record with the
county clerk within one year after
county treasurer. Providing that no ap-
preparation shall be made to any ag-
ricultural society or other society of
a similar nature in excess of or in pre-
ference to any appropriation for any
other such society in the county.
Mr.. De Whit also made a verbal re-
port on some of the interesting mat
ters pertaining to poultry breeding
which were discussed at the Appleton
convention. He is also arranging a
scehule of the coming poultry shows,
dividing the state into five parts, so
one show will not conflict with the
other.
A motion was carried to exempt all
members from payment of dues who
belong to Co. E or who are liable to
bee allied to serve their flag.

APPLE CROP BETTER
THIS YEAR THAN LAST

Thomas Enright of Des Moines,
Iowa, the apple man, who is visiting
relatives here, said in an interview
with the News reporter that the ap-
pie crop of Iowa is better this year
than ever before. 'sThe state horticul-
tural society estimates a fifty per
cent crop Of the winter variety, but is
in my opinion, a slight exaggeration, !"
he said, when asked about the apple
crop Of Iowa. The society estimates
20 per cent for the fall variety and is
very near correct" he continued
When asked about the crop here, he
said: "The people around here do not
raise apples for commercial use and
also do not spray them and take care
of the apples in the best manner, SO
Wisconsin in general does not mar
ket many apples"
Mr.. Enright then told that the iona
than variety was their big seller A
new variety, the Delicious" owned
by Jesse Hiatt of Peru, Iowa, and
discovered by Stark Brothers of Mis-
souri, is the coming commercial ap-
pie of Iowa, for it satisfies more peo-
pie than any of the other varieties
now grown. Concerning western com
petition we have nothing to fear, for
it costs them sixty cents a bushel tC
bring apples here to market, and il
costs the Iowa farmer one-quarter OF
that sum-" he continued.
"The apples around here are fair tC
average, but greet many are shed
ding, so that the crop will be very
short. The most of them are wormy,
Mr.. Enright concluded.

GLOBE TROTTER HERE
ON FIVE YEAR hike

Would you travel five years for S10,-
600? Sure you would. If you had to
walk all the time, never hit the same
place twice, start out with 2 cents in
your jeans, and finally, never sleep in
a bed for that period Of time, would
you still be as anxious and emphatic
about it?
Frankly you would not, but there is
one. James Finnegan of everywhere,
who arrived on Thursday in Water
town, a traveller, who will complete
his fifth year on the road under the
foregoing conditions on October 1, he
having but 270 miles more to go and
then he will be able to claim the
$4,000 offered by New York man for
the feat, for>such it is and a great one.
During his stay of two hours here
he stopped at Charles Schnorenberg's
place and had dinner there for SER
vices rendered. Charley signed his
register which is enclosed in two COW
ers and contains the names of nearly
every town of Importance in the
United States. Foreign countries are
also represented for China, Japan,
England, France, Australia and South
America have their pages filled with
names that are well known through
out the world. He also posted letter
from each town visited in order to
substantiate his claim of having been
there
His stay usually lasts until he has
earned a few cents or meal and he
is again on his way, sleeping by the
wayside when darkness overtakes
him.
The longest time he has been with
out civilized grub" was seven days
when he was forced to eat nothing
but tropical fruits while travelling
through sparsely settled part of
South America

A car especially designed for the
king of Roumania arrived in town
Thursday from Kankakee, ILL.,, carry
ing party of people who are now Wis
iting here. Mrs. Mang, the present
owner of the car was fortunate in
purchasing the auto, as its cost is
well over the $4,000 mark and is es-
pecially constructed throughout. The
purchase was made through the ina
bility of the company to deliver the
car to the crowned head on account
of the activity of the German sub
marines, rendering it impossible for
the company to make the shipment
for the car was to be delivered in
Europe before it was paid for. Those
who toured here from Kankakee were

DEMONSTRATES WO NDERS OF
WORLD AT CHAUTAUQUA

Il believe that inside of eight months
the war will be settled, said Martin
Vile Wood, the we'll known scientist
and inventor who lectured at the
Chautauuua Thursday evening and
demonstrated number of scientific
wonders, including his new torpedo
with ears" Comparatively few people
have seen a torpedo and his demon
stration was of wide interest The tor
pedo is 6h feet long and weighs in
the neighborhood of 800 pounds when
loaded and is made Of nickel steel. In
the front there are two black disks or
detectaphOnes. These instruments will
be attracted to a particular sound af-
ter they have been set for it and will
follow no other. Mr.. Wood gave prac-
teal demonstrations by having the
torpedo follow him around and by dis
charging a shot when the word war
was spoken.
In speaking of the Ultraviolet Ray
Mr.. Wood called the attention of the
audience to- the fact that there are in
existence but two of these machines,
the one he is using and another in the
Edison laboratories.
To make one of these devices it is
necessary to have ten miles of the
finest wire that can be drawn by hand
wound in two coils and from the or
binary ITO voltage will step it up to
10000 volts and one ampere. To re-
alize the great amount of current gen
Grated by this wonder machine it need
only be said that in order to electro
cute man one-tenth ampere and 1000
volts is all that is necessa ry.
He next turned several white stones
red, green, blue and brown under the
violet ray, and demonstrated the
bright holding qualities of his new
wallpaper which during the course of
a day will store up enough light to
read by at night.
In demonstrating the gyroscope OF
6 pounds, Mr.. Wood said that it will
exert a pressure of 80 times it's own
weight, or-720 pounds. He also gave
demonstrations Of it's usefulness as a
and other appliances.
| Inc program or the James X. FreW
and Company drew the applause of
the audience to such an extent that
they were forced to appear time and
time again to satisfy the music-loving
audience The feature of the evening
was the rendering of "The Rosary" on
a steel guitar by Mr.. Frew, who is not
only master Of the guitar but of nine
other instruments. Miss White sang
the old Hawaiian love song, "AIoha
De" accompanied by the other mem
Isplendid rendition.
