SCHOOLS NEAR END
OF YEAR
CHILDREN WAIT EAGERLY
FOR LATTER DAYS OF
MAYNARD YEAR

After a pressing year, filled with
discouraging occurrences, the children
of Marathon county and Wausau are
waiting eXpectantly for the latter part
of May, when the school year of 1913
10 will be ended. Over forty-five rural
and town schools have already discon-
tinued work, their year being one of
eight months. Practically all of the
village schools are nine month schools,
while the towns and rural districts of
the county are divided between eight
and nine months schools, depending
altogether upon the annual vote of the
district school board. In Wausau the
public schools will be through with
examinations and all work by May
29th. They may be asked on the fol-
lowing day to call for cards.
Needed At Home
In the county children are needed at
home the coming month and will play
an important part in planting and
caring for crops. The season is late
and time for real work is about at
hand. Common school diploma exam
nations were held in fifteen towns
and villages last Saturday, conducted
under the direction of j. G. GieSSel,
county superintendent, at Athens,
Unity, Spencer, Stratford, Edgar, Hal
der, Marathon City, Hatley Elderon,
Plover, No. 2 Bevent, and at the Train
ing school. The average number of
students taking this examination is
400. This examination is for eight
month schools. Exercises are being
planned by many of the nine month
schools.
Two short class plays, "Play Goers"
and Miss Doulton's Orchids" will be
given the evening of May 23rd. Grad
uating students are also preparing for
the promenade, which affair will be
given on May 29th at Rothschild pavil-
ion. On the evening of May 30th, high
school students will be awarded their
diplomas.

Cause of Headache

By knowing the cause, disease may
be avoided. This is particularly true
of headache. The most common cause
of headache is disordered stomach or
constipation, which may be corrected
by taking a few doses of Chamberlain's
Tablets. Try it. Many others have
obtained permanent relief by taking

THRIFT CAMP AIGN
in THE SCHOOLS
Mrs. Ramsey and Assistants Visited
a Number Of Schools Last Week
and Left Stamps.

Last week Mrs. G. w. Ramsey,
county director Of the government
thrift movement, in company with
Mrs. M. K. Shelby, county demonstra-
tion agent, Co. supt. s. J Russell and
Messrs. J. M. Taylor and D. G, Hous-
ton, visited several Of the county
schools and urged thrift among the
pupils. The two local banks sup
piled them with stamps which were
left with the teachers, the latter Civ
ing their personal notes for thestamps
to be paid when the stamps are sold.
Ten schools were visited during the
two days the party was out, and it
is believed that the trip will result
IN much good.
From time to time other schools
will be visited.
The government is endeavoring to
educate the children in becoming
thrifty, and each Thursday morning
twenty minutes are to be given to
this matter. A text book on the sub
ject is being prepared, and this will
be taught along with the other stud
les.

What does our country need2 No
armies standing
With sabres cleaning ready for the
fight;
Not increased navies, slilful and
commanding,
TO bound the waters with an iron.
Not naughty men with glutted purses
trying
To purchase souls, and keep the
power of place:
Not jeweled dolls with one another
vying
For palms Of beauty, elegance, and
grace.
But we want women, strong Of soul.
yet lowly,
With that rare meekness, born Of
gentleness;
Women whose lives are pure and
clean and holy,
The women whom all little chill
dren bless;
Brave, earnest women, helpful to each
other,
With finest seorn for all things low
and mean;
Women who hold the names Of wife
and mother
Far nobler than the title Of a
queen.
OH these are they who mould the men
Of story,
These mothers, ofttimes shorn Of
grace and youth,
Who, worn and weary, ask no greater
glory
Than making some young soul the
home Of truth;
Who SOW in hearts all fallow for the
sowing
The seeds Of virtue and Of scorn
for sin,
And, patient, watch the beauteous
harvest growing
And weed out tares which crafty
hands cast in;
Women who do not hold the gift Of
beauty
As some rare treasure to be bought
and sold,
But guard It as a precious aid to
duty
The outer framing Of the inner
goldj
Women who, low above their cradles
bending,
Let fiattery's voice 90 BY, and give
no heed,
While their pure prayers like incense
are ascending,
These are our country's pride, our
country's need.

in his recent extremist speech
against a greater American
navy. He took the role of a lit
tie American.
Senator Lodge is a figure of
considerable national repute.
His present utterances are dis
counted, however, by the fact
that he formerly spoke in favor
of a world league. The Hart
ford (Conn.) Times, calls at
tention to a speech made by
Lodge in 1916 in which he took
the very opposite of the positi-
on he now sets forth.
The 1916 speech by Lodge
was delivered at a meeting of
the League to Enforce Peace,
of which Taft is president. The
Massachusetts, senator is quot
ed as saying then:
1 '"But L do not believe that when
Washington warmed us against en-
tangIing alliances he meant for one
moment that we should not join with
other civilized nations of the world if
a method could be found 10 diminish
war and encourage peace.
I 1T was year ago that i'm deliver
ing the chanceIIor's address at Union
College, / made an argument ON this
theory-that il we were to promote
international peace at the close of the
present terrible war. if we were to re-
lstore International law as it must be
-,
which the united forces of the nations
must be put behind the cause of peace
and law. 1 said then that my hearers
might think that l was picturing a
Utopia, but it is in the search for
4 Utopias that great, discoveries have
been made. Not failure, but low aim
i'm crime
''This league certainly has the high
est of all aims for the benefit of hui
manity. and because the pathway is
sOwn with difficulties is no reason that
we should turn from it,
/ The change of front by Sena-
tor Lodge is unaccouhtable un-
less we attribute it to jealousy
of Wilson. In that case the
stand taken by former Presi-
dent Taft should be noted.
Taft is showing himself to be
I of big calibre. He is support
ing the league regardless of the
/ fact his rival for the presidency
is credited as the author of the
league covenant. The position
of Taft is the position of most
of our big national leaders, ir-
respective of party. The crit
les are making considerable
fuss but as a rule they are not
men who carry great weight.

SENATOR LODGE HAS
CHANGED FRONT

m F the men who are criti-

tions the most prominent
are Lodge, Borah, Poindexter
and Reed. The last named is a
windjammer and not to be
taken seriously. Poindexter is
also lightweight and Borah,
while a man of ability, has
shown he is not a safe guide.
Evidence of this was furnished
