that during the first 1916 days of 1919
there were ninety-seven accidents

in his department. He said it ought to
be an easy matter to so for a week

Mr. Bryan then asked his fellow
employees to stand and repeat the
pledge referred to, promising to do
everything possible to avoid acct
dents to themselves and others. The
pledge follows:

{ THE RURAL SCHOOLS zENz SALE GOES BIG
BUYERS HERE FROM $50 MILES
AWAY TO BID ON PURE-BRED
STUFF TOTAL WAS $S,515.o5.

Grant county, long famous for it's
auction sales, made new record on
last week Thursday, when Henry
Zenz & Son closed out their holdings
OF personal property on a partition
sale. 1t was no matinee, taking prac-
tically all day. The list of machinery
was a long one, and in spite of the ac-
tlvlty of John Vesperman, who cried
the sale, this department took several
hours.
After dinner the real interest of the
sale began, for the fine string of cows
and young stock was opened. There
were four registered Jersey COWS, and
each was likely individual. Then
there were many high grade Jerseys,
that looked for all the world like
pure breds-seldom, does one see a
more promising lot offered alta pub
lie sale. Usually they were put up
by pairs, the bidder to take choice.
No. 2, a big, handsome, fawn-colored
dame, was the first offered, and there
were several present who wanted her.
The bidding was lively and only hit
snag when the 5000 mark was reach
ed. And then she was struck off. In
this connection it may be well to men
ton that this cow had a record, both
for milk production and butterfat.
Covering a period of go days she gave
1886 pounds of milk, which tested new
er less than 5 per cent. A master
record for anybody's COW.
daughter of this splendid COW,
four years old, a bit understood, but
OF perfect Jersey type and of excel
lent conformation for milk produc-
ton, sold for 1929. This was thought
by several Jersey fanciers to be the
best buy of the sale, although the
record for milk and butterfat produc-
ton, on which high bred mich COWS
are usually sold, was wanting This
fine specimen went to DR.. Walter A.
Bible, Lime Ridge, who came $50
miles to bid on her. DR.. Bible is ac-
counted one of the best and most dis
eliminating breeders in Sank county,
and has a herd of IA COWS of the
small type. A milk record would
probably have advanced the selling
price of this COW by from $50 to $780,
Contrasting pays, when one comes to
sell.
The 81 grade COWS and heifers went
from SIS to $40, and nearly every
one of them brought out lively bid
ding. Brown Leghorn pullets sold as
high at $1.95 each Brood sows fetch
ed as high as SOL, and they were not
sold as pure breds.
A footing of the sale showed a total
of $8,515.65, which is a big figure for
a farm of not large acreage. 1t is
said that Henry Zenz will return to
the farm this spring; John has taken
the agency for the Delco light, an in
dividual lighting system, used mostly
on farms. He and his associate in
the venture, Roy Guthrie, have al
ready installed severel plants They
will now actively go into the work.

To whom It May Concern.

A little plain talk about stealing.
There is too much of it going on.
had three steers stolen last fall, as
good as three hundred dollars, and
l hear tell of others having cattle
and hogs stolen. l think a man is
putting himself down pretty low to
be crawling around at night stealing
cattle. 1t is too bad we can't get rid
of such rubbish. l offered all kinds
of inducements for the return of
those cattle or the culprits that got
them, but nothing doing. 1t was a
clean steal. l don't know who got
those cattle. 1t is not my place to
Judge. l might judge wrong l am
going to get along without them, but
| hate to have my hard work go that
way. | consider | am better off than
they are. If we get any wealth in
this world more than a living, it is
nice to know that we got it honestly.
1t is getting to a nice pitch when a
man can't leave his cattle over night
without some low down snake in the
grass stealing them.
No, there is no need of anyone
stealing in a country like this-plenty
of work and good wages and a dozen
different ways Of making a good,
honest living without stealing. He
sure has no respect for himself nor
anyone else His mother, who thought
one time what bright little boy she
had; little did she think that when
he grew up to be man that he would
put himself down so low as to steal
cattle or anything he could get his
hands on. He never thinks of the
Good Book wher it says in the ten
commandments, Thou shalt not
steal" But it appears that he chose
the wicked side of life, bent on get
ting something for nothing and an
easy living out of somebody's hard
work. But it won't last; the time is
coming, and before long, when he will
have to give an account of all his
thieving and stealing and bad deeds,
and finally old Satan the devil, will
drag him down where he can pick his
bones.

OLD GRANT COUNTY
AGAIN SCORES HIGH.
Another county heard from!

Another county heard from!
Grant county farmers have not been
saying much about pure bred bulls.
but when George W. Davies, the new
county agent, completed his survey
of the town Of Clifton he found five
school districts out of nine 100 per
cent efficient in the use of pure bred
sires. Il believe this is the most
lonesome place for scrub bulls to be
found in Wisconsin" says Mr.. Davies.
Can you beat it?"
The complete census forthe entire
town shows 81 pure bred bulls, z
grades and scrubs. This makes "a
per cent pure bred sires in the entire
township.
That this record is exceedingly high
is shown by the census of the various
counties being made in the Better
Wisconsin campaign. The highest
record that has appeared so far is SIS
per cent pure breds in the town of AL
gonna, Winnebago county, reported by
G. A. Sell. The average for the state
is near Is per cent.

A ROUS|NG MEETING
Nc AN OLD PIONEER GONE
PARENT-TEACHER CLUB HAD AN
EXCELLENT TURNOUT AT HIGH
SCHOOL WEDNESDAY EVE.

BY a good margin, the company that
assembled at the high school build
ing on last Wednesday evening to
listen to the program that had been
prepared for the parent teacher
meeting for March, was the largest
that has gathered for like occa-
sion Perhaps it was the excellence
of the program; perhaps there is a
growing interest in the movement
that was manifest on last Wednesday
evening. Anyway, there was SPLEEN
did company, one that was generous
in appreciation and hearty applause.
The H. S. orchestra opened the ev-
ening with fine selections, and proved
that it has had good training, and is
possessed of good talent County
SUIT. e. ]. Young gave his views on
the proper kind of cooperation be-
tween parent and teacher, especially
in the matter of moral and physical
welfare of the child. He took the
ground that entertainment, or amuse-
ment, is an essential part of the life
of the normal child He said that the
teacher must not be held responsible
for defects that develop in the child's
character, that should have been fore
stalled by proper training of the in
FAINT. His remarks were listened to
with unusual interest and made a
strong impression.
Mrs. E. B. Goodsell sang most de-
lightfully and responded to a per-
sistent call for an encore. Miss Alice
Baker, teacher Of science in the high
school, gave most entertaining and
instructive talk on the subject Are
We Training for Citizenship? The
conclusion seemed to be that the
schools were doing their part, but in
too many homes the one ESSENTIAL, UNI
selfishness, was not a part of the in
struction. The war has developed
that our millions of soldier boys place
cowardice as the deepest crime, with
selfishness as a close second. This
soldier conclusion, said Miss Baker,
has put new face on the public es-
innate of crime.
The Misses Boettcher and Amund-
son played a piano duet so we'll that
they could not get away without an
encore. The Rev. Louis Arhelger
could not be present, so Principal
S. S. McNelly led the open forum on
the general subject of cooperation
between teacher and parent. He cit
ed two pertinent instances, of very
recent occurrence in which it was
shown that the teacher did not get
the proper backing, even when a
principle was involved. His state
ment of the cases was wholly fear
less and showed that he had at heart
the best welfare of the student.
This Send-off brought some lively
discussion, in which Attorney R. M.
Orchard and County Agent George w.
Davies took part. The point made by
each of the speakers was that there
must be close bond of fellowship
between the home and the school, if
the best results are to be obtained for
the children. All through the even
ing, the old H. S. building came in
for unmerciful knocks because of its
inadequate capacity and obsolete con-
struction. The fine meeting came to
conclusion with the singing of the
first stanza of America
