The following article handed
us is worth the reading:
The third annual Indian fair
was held at Lac du Flambeau on
September 9TH and 9Th. A good
crowd was present on both days
although the weather was very
unfavorable. many visitors driv-
mo from a distance in their auto
mobiles. Every visitor seemed
pleased and interested in the ex-
hibits made by the Indians.
Agricultural products and arti-
cles of Indian manufacture such
as bead work, mats, woven bags,
birch bark baskets and canoes,
while not SO numerous as in
previous years, were all of a bet
ter grade and a higher standard.
4 GOOD exhibit was made bv the
Indian women ofcanned vegeta-
bles and fruit, jelly, pickles, rolls,
bread, cakes, pies, etc. The pu-
pills from the Indian boarding
school also sent pleasing exhibits
of sewing, art work and cooking
The baby show was a promi-
nent feature of the fair and GER
tainly pleased the visitors.
The athletic attractions includ-
ed baseball games, pony races,
motorboat and old-time birch
bark canoe races, moccasin races,
with music by the Indian band.
The moccasin race proved one
of the most attractive features
of the athletic sports. Four old
Indian men over seventy years
of age took part John Knox
won the race; Anawaba came in
second and Jack Doud, eighty
four years and a veteran OF the
Civil War, finished third.

They showed wonderful skill in
manipulating the paddles.
During the Friday ball game
between the Flambeau and
Odanah Indians, the score was
so close and interesting in the
early part of the game that Dis
trlCt Attorney O'COnnOr OF Eagle
River, became so enthusiastic
that he offered $40 to the win.
ning team. The local team won
BY a score of s to /. The Satur-
day score was 9 to II in favor
Of Flambeau.
. The success Of the Indian Ian
and the enthusiasm which the
Indians exhibited is due to the
recent request of Cato Sells, com
missioner of Indian affairs, that
the Indians increase their acreage
and thus do their "bit" to help
IN the present food production
campaign.

Dubuque was entering the league on
the understanding that it would re-
main an eight-club league and that
Dubuque could not remain in II the
league were reduced to six clubs.
Mr.. Maynard agreed to go to OF
tumwa with President Ford and try
to help the fans Of that city get in
shape to retain their franchise. Mt.
Maynard was former resident of OF
tumwa Boone asked for more time. as
the fans there have not enough money
in sight to justify entrance into the
association. The feeling within the
league. however. is that Ottumwa
should have the first call.

The Carthage Fair association has
issued it's catalogue OF 1917 pre-
miums, and the same is now being
delivered to its patrons. Last year
having been the first year of the
fair, and the directors very busy
with securing size for the grounds
and with building operations, and the
time being SO short, it was impos-
sible to give the prize list the due
consideration it deserved, hence the
same mas been greatly revised at
this time to meet the idea of the
committee in charge, the changes all
made for the betterment Of those
sending or bringing exhibits. Inc
fair will be held August % to 81. A
new feature in addition to the regu-
lar racing will be the night attrac-
tons. which will be free to all at
tending the fair. On Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday evenings there
will be a display Of fireworks on the
fair grounds, which will be of high
class and worth driving miles to wit
ness.
a petition was filed in the county
court by Maria Mcdonald, mother of

The father and mother have been
living apart for the past three years
and the father had taken the children
and placed them in the custody OF

The steamer Sidney has been re-
modelled and greatly improved since
the last excursion of the High Ten
sion club. The dance hall now ex-
tends from rail to rail of the boat,
insuring good light and cool breezes
for the dancers. The lower deck has
been cleared, bulk heads removed
and all wood work newly painted to
make very COOL quaint and attrac-
tive dining hall for the guests of the
club.
There is an almost endless amount
of work and detail in preparing for
an excursion of this magnitude. For
a week before the excursion the
members Of the various committees
devote nearly the whole of their
time to planning and executing the
necessary details to the end that all
events will go forward without a
hitch or delay.
Members Of the High Tension club
left the plant on the "Webstone"
early this morning with the neces-
sary equipment for erecting the
canopy and tents for witnessing the
High Tension club races and sports
at the Nauvoo baseball grounds.
Other men are clearing paths,
smoothing rough places, placing guide
signs, marking off race courses, run

Iowa Educators Come to This Conciu-
sion After Gathering Some
Figures on
Subject.
APPEAL IS TOO NARROW
This Is Criticism Offered on Academic
Work Being Offered In
Schools Of
State.

AMES, Iowa, July 19.-Definite fig
ures which emphasize the fact that
the present type Of academic educa-
ton in the schools Is too narrow in its
appeal and that the solution undoubt-
eddy lies in the introduction Of more
vocational education, have been col
lected by E. T. Sniverly, supervisor OF
manual training at FIT. Dodge, and
just published by the engineering ex-
tension department at Iowa State col
lege, Ames.
Briefly, some Of the conclusions OF
the survey made Of the sixth and sew
enth grades in Ft. Dodge shows that:
In the FIT. Dodge schools SO per cent.
of the boys reaching grades six and
seven do not enter high school: in
fact, 70 per cent OF the boys in the
seventh grade dropped out before COM
plotting the grade school course.
More than so per cent Of these
dropped out because of lack of inter-
est and not from financial necessity.
Got tired of doing nothing" "Too
much sitting around" Wanted to so
to work." Got tired of books"-were
some of the typical comments Of the
boys.
1t was the attitude of the boys and
not the parents that was the deciding
factor in keeping the boy in school.
Boys who dropped out Of school
were not prepared to decide upon or
perform any definite useful work and
did not enter occupations, as rule.
in which there was an opportunity
for advancement.
''It is clear that the present aca-
demic type of education in the schools
is all too narrow in it's appeal" says
K. G. Smith, head Of the engineering
extension department at Iowa state
college, who is big force in pushing
for vocational education in the state.
More than so per cent of the total
population are capable of profiting.
by specialized instruction beyond the
mastery of the common branches OF
study, and for the vast majority this
specialized training should be voca-
tionaI"
whats the use of 1t all, which IS a
question often asked by parents and
children, Is best answered by an in
vestiSation made of the influence OF
education on earning capacity" says
Smith Arthur Power of Middletown.
Ohio, found that the average earnings
OF uneduoated labor are $3.50 day
for 300 days a year This for forty
years amounts to $4,000. He also
found that the average wage of edu-
Gated labor was $1,000 a year. Since
this amounts to $40. 900 in forty years,
the gain in educated labor is $4,000,
of $40 per day for each day spent in
school from the primary department
through the high school.
Smith believes that the evening
schools in trade and industry seem to
offer the largest field for vocational
work in this state.

mother instituted proceedings in
order to take the children from her
and place them in proper institu-
ton, if the jury did not see fit to
return them to her care and keep
ing. The various parties interested
in the matter appeared as witnesses
and after the evidence had been
heard the case was turned over to
the jury who returned verdict fnd-
ing that the children were not de-
pendent.
The boys were both pretty and
bright and at once won the hearts
of the court and jurors. The mother
has no means to care for the boys,
hence it was deemed best to leave
them in the care of Mrs. Siegelmeyer.
