COUNTY SCHOOL NEWS
By o. E. Rice, County Supt.

Attention of all Rusk county teach
, ers is called to an order from the u.
S. Food Administration of Wisconsin
calling upon teachers in all schools to
take at once All accurate census of
farm cattle and hogs in their -respec-
tive districts, and nearly every teacher
is charged with the responsibility of
making this work a success in his or
her respective district
Circulars of instructions and blanks
for making the census have been sent
to each teacher from whom this infor-
nation is desired The date for tax
ing this was set for October 18th, but
owing to the closing of the schools,
the census could not then be taken ;
but Immediately upon opening of the
schOls, teachers are at once to take up
the matter, and return the census to
the county superintendent at the end
Of the first week of the school.
The instructions should be closely
followed. so our county census may be
well and correctly taken. Our gov
ernment needs this information, and I
am sure every patriotic teacher in our
county will cheerfully respond at
once.
AT the recent teachers examination,
certificates were issued to Mrs. Mary
z. Howard, Mrs. May S. Maher and
Mrs Edna Ryan, all of Ladysmith.
Mrs. Helen A. Howard of Rock
ford Iowa, has been secured to COM
plete the school term in No. 5, Cedar
Rapids-True, to succeed Mrs. Barber
who has been supplying until per-
manent teacher could be secured by
the board.
Although at this writing, October
Goth, it is not assured us, but it is
rather to be expected that we shall be
able to reopen the schools of the
county next Monday, the 4th of No
yember. If authorized, notices will be
sent from !. this office direct to al
school clerks, as soon as receiving per-
mission.
The order for closing having been
issued by the State Board of Health,
and re-affirmed again October Goth,
to keep schools closed until advised to
the contrary, each teacher who has
held herself at all times ready to re-
sumo her work, is entitled to full pay
the same as though the school had
not been closed The courts of Wis
cOnsin and other states have uni
formly held it thus in such cases.
This is the ruling of the state super
intendent.
Because of this interruption, many
school boards will deem it well to
have but one week vacation at Christ
mas time and some have expressed
themselves as only favOring Deem
her 25th for vacation, and intend to
keep the schools running on as nearly
full time as possible

The Cavalier Chronicle made the
statement last week that it will continue
the publication Of the Hamilton Inde-
pendent from the Chronicle office on its
own initiative for an indefinite period.
We assume from this that it is the in
tention of the editor of the Chronicle to
try and see If he cannot get his bread
buttersd on both sides. By issuing the
Chronicle with the Hamilton Indepen.
dent heading he evidently imagines that
he can receive two county orders month
ly Tor legal printing, until the year is up
for the Independent as an official paper.
The arbitrary law which makes the
county seat paper an official publication
BY virtue. Of it's location, should satisfy
the Chronicle editor without trying to
hoodwihk the public in such manner.
Editor Fairchild better read the postal
laws which plainly state what consti-
tutes legal newspaper and we imagine
he will change his mind.

TOUCH I NOT COTTON

Fear is expressed IN some quarters
that the Democrats may lose some seats
in the house because the Democratic
president vetoed the provision for a
price Of S2.40 for wheat. They will lose
the seats, all right, but that will not be
the reason. The farmers have never
asked nor desired special legislation.
They have asked no special favors. All
they have ever asked or desired was to
be treated the same as others are treat
cd. They are indignant, and have good
right to be indignant because the Demo
cratic administration limited the price
ofwheat and did not limit the price Of
cotton or tobacco southern commodi-
ties. They are indignant and have q
right to be indignant because the ad-
Sministrstlon limited the price Of what
they sell and did not limit the price 81
the most important things they buy.
A farmer who would not resent that
sort Of treatment would be an unworthy
citizen Of q nation whose fundamental
principal is equality equal rights for
allland special privileges for none. This
has been . sectional, partisan admins
tration from the beginning, and there

EDITOR OF THE FATHERLAND.

George Sylvester Viereck, formerly
editor Of the Fatherland. the publication
which was so sedulously read and quot
ed by many of our citizens before
America entered the war. and which
was barred from the mails because of
its prof. German views, has admitted that
he received approximately sl00, 600 from
Count Won Bernstorff and DR.. Constan-
tin Theodor Dumba and others for dis
seminating propaganda in the form Of
phamplets and books. according to an
announcement made at the Office OF
States Attorney General Lewis of New
York. Viereck asserted that he had
purchased three 800 Liberty Bonds.
According to officials in the attorney
generals Office, Vlereck circulated from
October 10th, 1914. to Jan. 4th, 1915, at
q total cost Of S24 ,275, the following
phamplets and books: 10000 copies Of
"Truth About Germany; 100000 copies
each of German White Book, Germany's
just Cause, Germany and This War,
and Germany's Hour of Destiny and
$4,000 copies each Of The Case of Bel
gium and Current Misconceptions about
the War. Among the long list of books
which were published here on direct
orders from Berlin was one alleged to
have been brought here on the SUBJ
marine Deutschland. It was entitled
The Vampire Of the continent, and was
written by Count Ernst Won Reventlow,
the German naval expert and chief
editorial writer Of the Tages Zeitung.
The German government bought 10000
copies of the book.

BOUNDARIES AND DISTANCES

About boundaries and distances along
the battle lines in France, most who do
not refresh memories by reference to
maps, get rather confused. just now,
when the Germans are moving back
wards, the query arises, how far must
they be driven to get the fighting into
German territory?
The confusion comes partly from the
fact that so far there has been but little
fighting directly in front of the German
boundary. Few people realize that
Be1guin boundaries face over one half
|of the northern boundary Of France. A
line in its general direction. quite
straight, running southeasterly. from
near Ostend, on the sea to the German
provtnce of Lorraine, makes the north
easterly boundary of France. AS we
[ said half of this line is occupied by
Belgium. This boundary line. after
lstriking Lorraine, then trends nearly
south along the borders of Alsace, thus
forming an angle into Germany.
At each end of these boundaries the
battle lines cross one end into Belgium
possessions, and the other into Alsace.
Thusssince the war began, the Belguims
have held small part Of their kingdom,
and tae French have held some German
territory in Alsace.
From the two ends the battle lines
bend southwesterly, making the bound
|ary line and the battle line appear as a
strung bow. with the former as the
string, and the latter as the bent bow.
The extreme width OF this French terri
tory held by the Germans is in the,St.
Quentin salient, about hundred miles
from the sea, and is about 80 miles wide.
From this sector westward the occupied
French land runs to point near the sea
where it crosses the Belgulm boundary.
Eastward at SCISSORS the nearest point
Of the German boundary is about sixty
miles northeasterly, while at Rheims
the distance is about sixty miles. At
Verdun, some fifty miles farther east,
the distance across to Germany is near.
y thirty miles. From the Verdun Sec
tor along the Lorraine and Alsace
bonndaty there has been no fighting of
iAportaace and the battle lines have not
changsM since the war began.
The national boundaries between
France and Germany have been very
strongly fortified by both countries,
which may accountln part for the little
fighting on the far eastern battlefront,
and does account for the reason that the
kaiser chose to go through undefended
Belgium instead of coming over his own
boundaries directly into France.
Thus to sum up, the greater part OF
the battle lines are in front of Belgium,
as but little or no fighting has occurred
along Alsace-Lorraine. That roughly
speaking the average distance the Allies
will have to follow the Germans to their
own soil is from 40 to 60 miles.
