DRUNK AT THE WHEEL.

Frank Benish a transient repre-
senting vulcanizing company, came
down Washington street one midnight
last week in a course similar to that
ships are said to pursue when a sub
marine is chasing. Patrolman Healy
rubbed his eyes and when Benish
came over on the starboard tack he
ordered the navigator to bring the
ship to- Benish was inclined to argue
the matter and question the authority
of the officer to stop him and then,
fatal mistake, he wanted to scrap.
That's what Manitowoc induced one
Irishman to join the force for. Benish
landed in the hurry-up car in one
jerk. In court he said he was tired.
The officer said he was drunk. Drunk
at the wheel is now a serious offense
and it cost Benish $50 and costs.

THE ADMINISTRATION

The entire spirit of the Administra-
tion in Washington is, and has been
from the beginning, that the war
should in no way be used as an excuse
for giving the children of the country
any less education, in quantity or
quality, than they otherwise would
have had, but, on the contrary that
the schools should do everything pos
sible to increase their efficiency, to
the endthat the children now in the
schools may at the conclusion of their
course be even better qualified than
ever before to take up the duties and
responsibilities of life. Both the pres
ent demands of the war emergency
and the prospective demands of the
necessary readjustments inevitably to
follow emphasize the need of provd-
ing in full measure for the education
of all the people.
The President has repeatedly called
the attention of the Nation to the
urgent necessity of this special form
of conservation. He has particularly
urged young people graduating from
the high schools to avail themselves of
the opportunities offered by the col
leges and technical schools, Ito the
end that the country may not lack iii
adequate supply of trained men and
women" and he assures young people
who are not called to active military
service that "by pursuing their
courses lin SCHOOL, with earnestness
and diligence they also are preparing
themselves for valuable service to the
Nation" July 20, 1917, letter to Sec
retary Lane)
Later the President again expressed
his very urgent concern that none Of
the educational processes of the coun-
try should be interrupted any more
than is absolutely unavoidable during
the war" (Jan. 1S, 1918, letter to the
department of superintendents, n f.

Weather and Crop Conditions.

Synopsis Of weather and crop condi-
tions in Wisconsin for the week ending
Tuesday, June 25th.
The weather was too cool for best
growth. Light frost occurred on the
morning of the 23d and injured corn,
potatoes, and gardens in number of
localities in eastern and northern coun-
ties, but the damage was not severe.
The need Of rain was reported from
nearly all sections. Good rains how
ever, fell over the southern part Of the
state on the morning OF the 25th. The
hay crop is light in many places, due
largely to the wlnter-killing of clover
Winter wheat, rye, and barley are
heading out but ripening slowly.

LAKE ROUTE CHOSEN.

Official notice has been received
from the State Highway commission
that the trunk line highway from Two
Rivers to Kewaunee will follow the
line originally chosen, the so-called
"Range-line" road north from Two
Rivers. The people of Mishicot, Tisch
Mills and other villages made fight
to have the route changed to pass
through their villages, urging many
reasons, but the state road people
seem to think that a trunk line means
the shortest distance between two
points which, no doubt, it is, but
there are sometimes considerations of
weight other than distance.

Coconut TrenIs Rlossnm

The blossom Of the coconut tree is
not unlike n head of caulitiower and
Is esteemed very much as the cab
bage' of the cabbage palmetto, which
grows to some extent In Florida. The
coconut blossom is boiled or eaten
raw with salad dressing. From the
blossom of the tree the natives also
make pleasant drink, soft when first
made, but strongly intoxicating when
fermented, and quite often 1t is al-
lowed to ferment. BY one treatment
of this flower-llquor It Is also made
into native vinegar.

A Grand FizZle.-Some Of our prom

handsomely toward defraying the ex-
penses of entertaining in sumptu-
Gus manner the editorial excursion
lists to this city, are anxious to know
where those editors are. The only in
formation that we have been able to
give them is that the excursion was a
fizzle, that only a very few "a half
dozen perhaps) came this way as far
as Sheboygan because it was the
shortest and cheapest route home.

A mad dog made things lively in
Milwaukee on Sunday last. The dog
gave symptoms of rabies on Saturday
but instead OF shooting the brute, the
owner had him placed in the cellar.
when he and an officer went to pay
their respects to the animal on Sun
day. they were greeted quite warmly.
The owner. a man named Foley, was
bitten. The dog escpaed and fastened
his fangs in the arm of woman, Mrs.
Judge, inflicting wound clear to the
bone. He bit number of other dogs,
rushed through a crowd of children,
swapping at them, and was finally
killed by a policeman. The owner
should now bring suit against the
policeman for killing the pet.

EDUCATIONAL.
(By j. w. Voboril)
THE SCHOOLS
(BUREAU OF EDUCATION)

UREAU OF EDUCATION)
School officials in all parts of the
country are asking the Commissioner
of Education and others for advice as
to what the schools should do to rem
der the utmost service of when they
are capable during the war emerg-
ency. They desire to know specifically
whether they can be most helpful by
shortening the daily or weekly or an
nual school session, by closing down
entirely, by continuing as in the past
or by increasing school activities in
various ways.
With admirable loyalty and patro-
tism, the schools stand ready and
eager to do their full duty, whatever
that may be. The greatest need at the
present time is for some authoritative
statement which shall make the path
of duty and service plain.
