RIOOsIER VOTES TEN TO ONE TO
HAVE CITY OWN ELECTRIC
LIGHT AND POWER PLANT

Rloomer voted last Tuesday on the
same question that will soon ne up Iof
settlement bv the citizens OF Lady
smith. BY a vote of 23 to 230, exactly
ten to one, the people registered III
favor of the village owning the electric
light and power plant. The plant IS
voIued Mt about $4,000. The current
is bought from the Wissota company
and the city will have an equally low
rate as the private company. l1a cents
:, Eilowatt. Boomer did not buy the
Olant so much on account OF the neces-
sity for cheaper rates to consumers but
the village believed that it was a gOod
thing for the people to own the pupllc
utilities. And on the other hand TOO
the management was local and not
foreign as III Ladysmith.
RIOomer customers paid Do cents
minimum. They paid 1912 cents a
kw-hr for the first 80 hours and :
cents a kw-hr for all i'll excess.
Speaking of the election the Chip
pewa Falls Herald says:
Iladysmith is now figuring ON
the purchase of its electric light
plant and we understand that an
election has been ordered. Lady
smith is another community which
has shown ability to expand.
For the past seven years its
growth has been marked and it Is

very first and at a public mass
meeting held recently there was
practically no opposition to the
proposed purchase of their electric

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES

The u S. COMMISSIONER Of Educa-
ton has just issued a very valuable
bulletin on the salaries paid for super
vision of schools in the various states.
The figures given account very clearly
for some of the shortcomings Of our
schools. 1t shows that Wisconsin has
Il county superintendent whose aver
age salary is $1254 and % city superin-
tendents whose average salary is S2229
Just about double that of the county
superintendent. We wonder whether
this is the estimate placed by county
boards of supervisors upon the value OF
education to be given to the children
in the country? No wonder that the
country schools as rule do not come
up to the level Of the city schools. Wis
consin ranks number b among the
states in the matter Of salary paid to
county superintendent, but it ranks 10
points higher--number Pin the sal
arp paid to city superintendent Our
grand old state needs to wake up. In
this county both city and county super
intendents are below the average sal
airy level. Why?
The first session of the literary So
ciety was held Thursday afternoon.
The boys course in agriculture began
last week with an enrolment OF twelve
This is larger enrolment at the be
ginning of the course than was the en-
tire enrolment last year. 1t speaks
we'll for the ambition of the farmers OF
the county and for the appreciation OF
the work being done in the county by
Mr.. Householder.
Miss Rural teacher: what has your
school done about thrift stamps? What
have you done to stir up this matter?
About % members of the school at
tended the institute at Tony in spite
Of the cold. Some were SO ambitious
that they walked to Tony and back
rather than miss the work.

struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, it is the spring
time that brings i'll health. One of the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in bad state of health in
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
6ve months penned up within the walls
of house, factory or office. 1t is the rea-
son for our diminished resistance-that
is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There Is nothing better for health than
