HIGH SCHOOL-OLD FASH
IONED FORM OF EN-
TERTAINMENT.

A real, old fashioned form of en-
tertainment and method of raising
money for the benefit of the Red
Cross is being resorted to by the Of
ficers of the Red Cross. A basket
social will be held i'm the high school
gymnasium on Friday night, and the
baskets will be a~uctioned in the
good old fashioned way, and the
highest bidder may eat supper with
the lady who prepared the lunch con-
lady will put up a supper sufficient
for two, and reserve some means OF

met ANYHOW
STOPPED In TOWN, NONPARTI-
SAN LEAGUE SPEAKER
WENT OUTSIDE.

Refused permission to address an
audience on Nonpartisan league is
sues in Madison yesterday afternoon,
Otto Nellermoe secured a place to
speak at the Joseph Rowland place,
just northwest of the city limits. He
spoke to about 100 persons and the
county sheriff, the latter taking part
freely in the discussion. The delayed
meeting was begun at 5 o'clock.
The speaker, whose English is
strongly impregnated with a foreign
accent, severely criticized the city of
ficials for their action in forbidding
the meeting advertised to be held
during the afternoon in the city. He
said the action was as arbitrary as
those complained of by the people
against the kaiser, and drew a SIM
ilarity between the city officials and
that potentate, differentiating only in
that the city men wore no steel he'll
met. 1t was at this point that Sher-
iff z. A. Keller interrupted the
speaker with a warning and admoni-
ton to temper his comparisons. Dur
ing the remainder of the address he
would refer at intervals to the sher-
iff with the query, "A'int that right,
Mr.. Sheriff." Anything which
might be construed against him was
prefaced with the statement of Il un-
derstand so and So" and he would
ask the sheriff to set him right if he
made misstatements or what might
be considered those bordering upon
disloyalty.

Woodbridge Township Schools
VIII Open Monday Morning
BIZ spaciai Correspondent.

BY SpScfdI correspondent.
WOODBRIDGE, Sept. 5:-Town-
ship schools wilr reopen next Monday,
September 9. One of the largest In
creases in enrolment Is expected.
Principals will be in their respective
offices at the schools for the reception
of new pupils. Parents should ac-
company little children who are being
enrolled for the first time. or send
some responsible adult with them who
can give the necessary details respect
ing age and parentqge.
Any child who Is o years OF age
may be enrolled in the kindergarten
department.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing on the part of some parents
| regarding working papers. In bElef,
the law requires that a child shall be
fourteen years OF age. shall lave
passed the fifth grade. have the neces-
sary physical Qualifications for his Sc
lected work and shall have attended
| school 100 days during the twelve
months Immediately preceding the re-
quest for papers. For employing a
child illegally. IN employer may be
fined $50 for each case. The educa-
tional qualification is measured by the
public school standard. The only per-
son who is legally qualified 10 grant
working papers in this township Is the
supervising principal of schools, John
H.. Love.
More than ever before and especial
ly in this community where there Is
such a large foreign element. is u
necessary that the children receive the
best education il is possible for them
to obtain. The rights OF children
should not be sacrificed for the dollar.
In many cases where working pa
pers have been refused under the law
it has been caused by the poor attend
ance al school on the part OF the chill
dren. a matter entirely within the con-
troll of the parents.
All the schools have been thorough
Iy cleaned and carefully disinfected.
Floors have been oiled, and the paint
! brush has frightened up many walls.
Supplies have been distributed and
everything is in readiness for the
| sound Of the old school bell on Mon
day morning.

Today one of the greatest industries
in the world is-SHIPS. And one of
the worlds greatest seamen is An
drew Furuseth.
In his veins flows the blood of the
hardy Norsemen of old, n his face
is scanned with the marks of the sea.
He was but 16 years of G when
he started out from Norway, and until
he was 80 he followed the sea. He
sailed on Norwegian vessels, on Ger
man, British, Dutch and American
| boats, and saw most Of the ports of
the civilized world.
There are few things about the sea-
mans life that he does not know,
mostly by personal experience. Be-
! side this. he has been a close student
of maritime law. and he is familiar
| with the history of navigation. 1t has
been said of him: HE knows the
maritime law of every country: the
social condition, the wage level, the
economic life of every %seafaring ma
ton; he is master of his subject: his
mind works with the precision of q
Corliss engine. he Is logical. rugged,
terse. quaint and fervid with convic-
ton"
1t is a quarter of a century ago
that Furuseth quit the sea as a sailor.
He made up his mind that the lot of
the seaman must be improved and
hat was his task. 1t was in San
Francisco. in q rainstorm, out of
doors seated on a few drifted ship
timbers, that the first Seaman's Un-
ion of the Pacific was formed and
Andy was It's first secretary. He
holds the office to this day.
There is no more conspicuous or
well-known figure in American Fed
Grafton of Labor conventions than
Andy Furuseth. He is the most out
an-out independent in federation. odd
as Dicks hatband and yet looked up
| to and respected by every labor man
in America, while abroad his friends
are legion.
Into this organization he has put
splendid character. The officers of
this union get exactly the same wages

I as the employees. and these are the
wages of common seamen. All these
years he has been the incarnation Ct
rugged righteousness for the sea-
men. and it has e his task, among
other things, to keep the men Of his
union in line, to make them save
their money, keep sober n learn
that to be respected by others they
must first of all respect themselves.
From that small beginning in San
Francisco have come the Bay and
River Steamboatmen, the Marine
Cooks and Stewards, the Marine Fire
men, and a host of other unions Of
seamen, and last of all the Interna-
tional Seamen's Union of America,
and Furuseth is its president.
His job has been to organize the
seamen of America. to fight for ifv-
ing conditions in the ships. to get
liberty for sailors on ships. The sea-
mems bill which bears date of March
4, 1915, is his monument. This bill

fanatic, laughed at, feared and at

figure in congressional halls has been
a landmark which stood for justice.
To win his fight he has had to beat
out some of the biggest money powers
in America
And his work is not done. It is his
task now to get the seamen's bin en-
forced. And it keeps him busy.
Here is a nan who has become
great in the ranks of labor and who
still keeps the workers heart and
never loses his touch with the COM
mon humble seaman which he him.
self once was. There is a simplicity
and directness and wholesomeness
about him that makes him the friend
Of every sailor that sails the seas.
There was no question as to who
should be the member of the Sea
mems Union to be written up in these
little sketches. At once everybody
said: There is but one man for you.
and that man Is Andy Furuseth.
