Selling and Account Keeping.

With the resumption of school this
month many of the educational fea-
lures of the Thrift and Wan Savings

were sent direct to all the school
teachers in the five states of the Sew
enth District during the first six
months of the year will be provided

sired to instill early the principles Of
thrift and saving.
In all eighth grade schools and in
high schools it is planned TO interest
the pupils in personal accounts, sys-
tematic and regularly conducted or
ganization being formed in each school
for that purpose. The system will
include personal experiences in buy
ing, selling and account keeping.

NORTHLAND FACILITIES
TAXED BEYOND CAPACITY
College in North Doing Remarkable
Piece of Work With inadequate
Buildings and Equipment.
BY J. D. BRoWNELL
President, NorthIand College.

Northland College, one of the eight
institutions which are members of the
Wisconsin Colleges Associated, which
familiarize the people of Wisconsin
with the problems of the voluntarily
maintained college, is the one distinc-
lively missionary college in the State.
It's function is primarily to give higher
training to the children of the foreign
population in the north. This is task
of Americanization, which is vital to
the best development of the commun-
ity in the northern half of the State.
It stands alone, the only college Of
any description, north of Appleton,
with rapidly developing rural popula-
ton and fast growing commercial in
terests. Already it's facilities are en-
tirely inadequate to meet the demands
made upon it.
Ninety per cent of the students are
entirely self-supporting. Three princi-
pal industries managed by the college
the manufacture of concrete block,
commercial printing, and the college
farm and provide the means OF
self-support An industrial endow-
ment of $4,000 will provide added
equipment and support to enable dou-
BILE the number of students now cared
for to earn their way.
One additional building is impera-
tive to provide auditorium and dormi-
tory facilities The library of $500 vol
umes should be doubled and per-
manent fund of $4,000 provided for
upkeep and the purchase of books.
The endowment of $105,O0O should
be multiplied by five that the faculty
can be increased to keep pace with the
growth and a living salary scale be
established for faculty members. At
present the scale of $500 to $1,000 is
lower than the wage of ordinary Ia
borers.
Northland College is now doing for
the immigrant population of North
Wisconsin what Tuskegee Institute is
doing for the colored race in the
South,-is the statement made by one
of the leading educators of the State.

THE ADVANTAGE OF COLLEGE.

The child without training has only
one chance in 100000 of performing
distinguished service; with element
ary education his chances are multi
piled by four, and with a high school
education training by 81. Finally. a
college education creates an opportun-
ity 500 times stronger than that Of the
uneducated worker. All of which is
additional reason why the appeal OF
the Wisconsin Colleges Associated for
an adequate endowment should meet
with a generous response.

Atlanta, Ga.,-The fifth issue

in the opinion of financiers here
who have studied the proposed

Mayor and Council to Put
Question Of Improving
Local Streets Up
to People
Adopt Ordnance Authorizing
Election to Call Bond Issue
for Raising Amount Need
ed to Carry Out Work

The mayor and councilmen yester-
day took the first definite steps to-
wards the realization of the plans for
improving the streets and landings OF
the city of Morgan City. The meet
ing was called for eight o'clock in the
morning. and the following council
men were present, together with the
mayor and secretary, namely, Council
men Squires, Price, Belanger and Bib
bins. Absent Norman.
After brief discussion of the OBJ
ject of the meeting, the following or
dinance was introduced and was urar-
imously adopted. 1t empowers the
mayor to havethe city attorney pre-
pare the necessary formally TOR the
election, and also authorizes him tc
have competent engineer investigate
the condition of the streets and ren-
der an estimate of what is needed.
Here is the ordinance As adopted:
BE 1T ORDAINED by the mayor
and councilmen of Morgan City, La,

Whereas, the severe rains and con-
tinuous wet weather for the past six
months has demonstrated the fact
that it is utterly impossible to main
tain the streets in good condition n

grevellino or shelling the streets, and
that some of the principal streets
must have a more substantial surfac-
ing, such as paving or some other
means of keeping them IN better con-
dition and
Whereas the entire street system,
of the city of Morgan City needs i'm
provement and betterment,
Therefore be it ordained that the
mayor and councilmen OF Morgan
City in called session convened does
hereby commit itself tothe voting of
special taxes or a bond issue by the
inhabitants of said municipality for
thepurpose of improving and main
tanning the streets of the said Nor
gan City, within its corporate limits.
and in furtherance Of this avowed
purpose the mayor of the city OF
Morgan City is hereby requested and
required to Immediately call upon
the Attorney of the City, Mr.. R. Z.
Milling, and request that he proceed

atonce to draw such ordinance ol
resolutions as are necessary to bt
passed by this body for the purpose
of carrying into effect this avowed
purpose, and also to employ engineer
and that as soon as the document,
are prepared, then tha, this body
again convene and take sucil action
as in its judgment it deems necessa-
ry
Very little doubt is felt but that the
bond issue will carry wl1en subIn' n'tteu
to the people for approval at a reg
ular election. The condition ri the
city's streets during the past winte,
has been most abominable, and it is
this poor cndition which has direct
ed the attention Of the authorities
and the people to the necessity of
making improvements at once il.
order to encourage the development
of the city's enterprises and for the
accommodation of the citizens in gen.
era1. Most of the city's streets have
been impossible. and while the city
authorities have done all that the
clt's resources would permit, it has
become necessary for other measures
to be adopted to meet the unusual
circumstances.
TO put the streets and landings OF
this community in first class cordi-
ton will cost not less than S125.0O0.
This amount can be raised with a
long time bond which would entail
but small additional tax each year.
The property owners of the city
recognize the need for the improve
ments. and the majority can see that
such improvements will enhance the
value of the city's property beyond
the amount to be expended through
the tax 1t is this fact which will
have telling effect when the matter
is submitted to the voters at the
election for the issuance of the
bonds. 1t is not expected that an,
will vote against the bond issue. On
the people OF this COM
munity are going to unite and put the
measure through unanimously.

total revenue from their labors
amounts to hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars each year, and
all of this business has been
transacted on the wharves Of this
city.
One can walk out any day, at
any time, and see gas boats and
barges unloading the fruits Of
the settlers labors. No charg-
es are made for the use of the
wharf. 1t is one of the features
of this city that helps to attract
them to the local market to dis
pose of their goods. At present
the main articles being sold is
hardwood, cut into stove lengths.
This wood brings $3.50 per dray
load, and nets the producer a
nice income.
The reclaiming of Louisiana's
low lands will encourage this
trade. More settlers eventually
will make their homes along the
small bayous in this section.
Roads will some day be built lead
ing to the far places only by
water. Schools will be establish
ed, such as Belle River has af-
forded its little community of
settlers and the great country
now known as a waste land will
develop into a great thriving
commonwealth. But these are
only predictions, and may be TAX
en- with a grain of salt. The at
tractive opportunities offered in
the truck and produce trade,
however. make such possibilities
seem only a matter of time be-
fore their realization. The evil
dence of the settlers prosperity
is to be found down on the wharf
each day when the boats come
in.
The development Of this bayou
trade has added a revenue to the
local channels of trade that is
assuming gigantic proportions.
The bayou settler plays a most
important part in the business
life of the community, and does
his bit towards making Morgan
City the hub of this section of
the country.

Rebedding Of Railroad Av-
enue by City Engi-
neer N Nearing
Completion
Fair Weather Gives Workers
Advantage in Building New
Bed for Street Heretofore
Almost Impossible

The work of gravelling Rail-
road Avenue is progressing rap
idly with the continuation of fair
weather. City Engineer Joseph
Evans has a large force at work
spreading the gravel over the
bed of the street, and considera-
BILE ground has been covered by
the workmen, who are making
time while the weather permits.
At present, the only work that
has been done has been the lay
ing of gravel. This gravel is
placed over bed of shell in a
layer of about eight inches. The
shell is first spread over the
street and rolled down, and the
gravel is placed over this, form
ing a solid roadbed after the
gravel has been rolled. In this
way the large surplus of shell
available in this city is utilized,
and in such a way as to prevent
any damage being done to auto
tires in running over the shell.
Heretofore the custom has been
to lay the shell on the roadbed
without any cover or layer of
gravel or dirt to offset the dam
ger of running tires by running
over the shell.
Engineer Evans says that
after the bedding is laid over the
street, care will be taken to have
the street as level as possible by
rolling down all ridges, and refill
ing the lower spots. This will
afford smooth riding for cars
and vehicles passing over the
road, and which has been impos-
sible in the past due to the rough
condition Of the street. Engi-
neer Evans has realized the i'm
portance of repairing this street
at once and has placed a large
force at work to expedite the
work. The large road machine
owned by the town is being used,
and later a tractor will be used
to pull a roller over the street.
Railroad Avenue is one of the
main thoroughfares of the city.
being the only roadway by which
people from the Boeuf and the
lower end of the parish, includ-
ing Avoca, may come into town.
Some of the city's largest en-
terprises are located on the far
end of the street and its poor
in the past has proven
a encouragement to the develop
ment of these enterprises. The
city has shown it's ready willing
ness to meet the requirements Of
the people in the matter of fix
ing the streets as far as the linz
tied finances of the municipality
will permit. This attitude on
the part of the authorities is ap-
preciated by the people of the
community, who realize the need
for better streets.
Mr.. Evans states that moth
ng will be permitted to inter-
fere with the work of repairing
Railroad Avenue, but in the
event of a rainy spell, the work
would have to be dropped until
he ground dries sufficiently.
Rain has a tendency to pack the
yravel, and for that reason a
good rain would do good after
he gravel has been laid.
