high school course must be such as
to give them the maximum amount
of training in ,he work which by far
the greatest majority will take up
some time after they leave school.
And what is that work?
Well, do you know Of any girl who
later in life will have no use for
training in baking, cooking and can
ming, in sewing, knitting, tatting and
crocheting, in sterilizing, .bandaging,
and nursing. and SO forth?
Whsther the girl eventually mar
ries or remains spinster engaged
in one kind of work or another, girl
hood training in the aforementioned
arts will always come in good stead.
Girls, don't forget the influence a
wsll-cooked meal exerts over the pro-
sale sex.
The growing idea Of making our
schools useful not to the select few
who go to college but to the many
who step into their life-work directly
led decade ago to the introduction
Of domestic science and art into the
better schools of this state. All Sec
ond and ,firxt-class high schools now
offer a credit or more in the subject
This is prescribed by the state board
Of education. If we of Linton want
to raise the classification of our high
school we must provide home econo-
mics facilities for our girls.
And we shall.
In our new building there will be
a home sconon'ics department.. In one
place you will find stoves and tables
and pots and pans, in another needles
and thimbles. and sewing machines
and in still another tape and cotton
and hydrogen peroxide-all equip
ment to be used in instruction and
training. o
The girls will very likely have the
opportunity to earn credit in cook
ing, one in sewing, and a half OF
more in home nursing.
Next week: The Art and Science
Of Farming.

Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1919-05-08
WHO is OUR PRESIDENT ?
IIarvey's Weekly.


The oft-quoted Clause 6, Section /,
Article IL, of the Constitution, reads :
''In case of the removal of the Presi-
dent from office, or of his death, resign
alton, or inability to discharge the
powers and duties of said office, the
same shall devolve upon the Vice Presi-
dent. "
In a matter of vital Importance to the
people of all the forty-eight States Of
the Union, a personal appeal for imme-
date Executive action was recently adj
dressed by cable to the President at his
place of abode in a foreign country
5000 miles across the seas. To this ur-
gent appeal Mr.. Wilson replied with the
distinct admission that he was unable to
act because he was at such a great
distance from the country of which he
is the Chief Magistrate. In other
words. he has specifically declared his
inability to discharge the powers and
duties of his office. His disability in
this respect is not a question for inves-
tigation. 1t is a demonstrated, admitted
fact. BY reason Of his self-expatriation,
Mr.. Wilson has confessedly disqualified
himself for those duties to the faithful
performance of which he pledged him
self when he took his oath of office.
If the above-quoted words of the
Constitution mean anything, they mean
that inability to discharge the powers
and duties of the Presidential office
cancels Presidential authority in the
person thus impotent, and automatical-
~ transfers that authority to the Vice
President. They at the very least throw
an ominous cloud of uncertainty over
the legality Of every exercise Of Presi-
Dental functions which MIR. Wilson
may undertake. They throw a cloud Of
as TO the legality Of every
Executive act, of every appointment
MIR. Wilson has made since he com
mitted the unheard-of breach Of all Gus
tom, tradition. and precedent by physjc- |
ally removing himself from the field Of .
his Executive jurisdiction and endeavor-
ing to establish the seat Of that juris-
liction in foreign country over a
thousand leagues away

WOOD OR LoWDEN, OR BOTH.

No one man in the republican party
seems TO have the lead upon the others
for the honor of being nominated and
elected the next president of the Uni
ted States. General Wood and Gov.
Lowden are both in the limelight. Ex-
President Taft seems to have lost some
supporters because of his decided adj
vocacy of the league of nations should
that work out soon and to good advant-
age it would reflect greatly to Mr.
Taft's advantage and possibly make
him the nominee. However the time is
short and things must speed up in Paris
at once if the conference is to make a
republican president in that way.

To the 100 Per Cent Americans of
Iowa County.

This notice is not intended for slack
ers or cutters. We have made our
last appeal to them We leave them to
the just contempt Of their fellow citi-
zens
We now appeal to the 100 per cent
Americans, the men and women of this
county who have already taken their
full share of the Victory Loan. We ask
them each to buy at least $50 more of
that loan. If they will do this, Iowa
county will go over the top in glorious
fashion and lead the state of Wisconsin.
Unless the 100 per cent people come
once more to our aid, the county will
fail to make its quota and those who
have done their full duty must bear
their part of the shame that Iowa coun-
" must bear because of the shirk ers
who have not take en- their full share of
the Victory Loan. Because we do not
believe it fair to these 100 per cent
Americans to allow their county to be
shamed, without laying the facts tS,fore
them, and giving them an opporsdnity
to save the honor of the county, we
issue this call Saturday, May tenth,
is the last day of the Victory Loan. We
appeal to every hundred per cent A
merican in Iowa county to subscribe
again on or before that date
