ARMlsTIcE DAY CELEBRATED
Enter tainment in Honor of Returned
Soldiers. Very Pleasant
Program Rendered.

At eleven o'clock Tuesday FORE
noon Armistice Day was ushered in
by the blowing of whistles, ringing
of bells and other devises of noise
making. The steamer Hazel started
it off, then the fire bell, the church
bell and every otheer noise-making
contrivance joined in. Trucks and
autos dragging scrap iron and blowing
their horns paraded up and down the
streets.
In the evening an entertainment
was given at the Happy Hour hall in
honor Of the returned soldiers. The
program consisted of speaking by
DR.: Hicks and Prof. Qualheim and
music and singing by the Moses Bros.
quartet and orchestra. Lunch was
served by the ladies after the pro-
gram, then dancing was indulged in
by the young folks.
The entertainment was very
pleasant affair, but unfortionatly
there were many Of the boys from
out of town who were unable to
be present, owing to the conditions
of the roads, and owing to the small
pox quarantine many Of the village
people were kept at home. 1t has
been suggested that similar enter
tainment be given near Thanksgiving.

ness. One would think driving would
be excuseable in the winter months
for any child, but not even then
would it be needed for healthy boy,
as the above mentioned human speci-
men is a proof Of. For in one of the
worst blizzards few years ago,
when the snowdrifts were impossible
for the horse and driver, the boy,
then 9 years old, could not be kept
home (being "school crasy', as his
mother said), but waded through the
drifts and landed triumphantly and
without waste of time in school, and
got back again in the evening rosy
and happy. On another occasion the
writer Of this walked in company
with said boy when the road was
nicely snowplowed, but did he use
the trail? Not on your life! The
biggest drifts by the side of the road
were none too big for him. When
home from school you could often
see this boy jumping and running
back the same way, and a quarter of
a mile longer, to see his grandma.
1t is only when he goes to school his
mother thinks that it is too hard on
him to walk.

STATE CAPITOL NEWS
Minnesota World War Veterans NAV
Have to Wait While For
Their Bonus Money.
By Vance Chapman

Minnesota world war veterans and
service men who are banking on some
easy Christmas money in the shape
of their share of the soldiers bonus
fund authorized at late session of
the Minnesota legislature are in all
probability doomed to- disappoint-
ment. Months may intervene before
the money is available. Though both
the bonus board and the local prints
have been inclined to soft pedal the
fact, the truth is that eastern bond
buyers who were expected to take up
the big end Of the $18,OOO,OOO or
$50, 100000 worth of bonds authorized
by the bonus act have declined. They
have been advised by their legal
department that the act is faulty and
letters to this effect are now in pos
session of the board. Approaching
this fact themselves, though possibly
they will not admit such publicly,
certain members of the board have
encouraged test case, with a resi-
dent Of Minneapolis. as plaintiff,
which will be passed upon by the
Minnesota supreme court in due time.
The Eastern bond buyers, it is under
stood do not doubt that Minnesota
will make good it's obligations even
though the act authorizing the bonds
distribution should be held uncon-
stitutional or faulty, but as they buy
only to- sell later, their customers
must be protected against possible
litigation and reimbursement in the
shape of\principal and interest The
principal contention is that the act
is faulty in that it authorizes what
are practically bonds in excess of the
constitutional limit. This contention
however, has been passed upon by the
supreme court and held to, be un-
founded. Another contention is that
the act fails to pledge the credit of
the state in the matter Of the author
lied certificates of indebtedness
which the contestants claim are in
effect bonds. It can be said with
truth that Minnesota will make good

WORST STORM FOR YEARS
- ON NORTH SHORE MONDAY
Lighthouse Nearly Wrecked. Much
Damage Done, to Fishermen's
Houses and Nets. --~l.

The worst storm for many years
struck the North Shore Monday even
ing and reached it's highth about mid
dight. The wind was from the south
west, and the sea was more terrific
than has been seen from that direc-
tion for many years. The lighthouse
was nearly wrecked, the sea tearing
hole in the south and north walls,
allowing the water clear sweep
through the lower part of the build
ing. The machinery of the fog bell
was torn from it's base and washed
to the end of the pier, held there by
the cable to the hammer. Much Of
the timbers of the pier were torn off.
The upper part of the lighthouse is
still intact, however, and Keeper
Woods had the light burning last
night. Mr.. Woos says it is not likely
the old lighthouse will be repaired,
but may be patched up for this fall
and a new one built i'm the spring:
Considerable damage was done to
fshermen's houses and docks along
the shore, and there is no telling how
much the loss of nets and rigging
will amount to, as none of them have
been able to get to their nets for
many days.
The downpour of rain Sunday and
Monday caused food in the lower
part of the village, filling the base
ments with water The roads have
been i'm terrible condition since the
storm. Culverts and bridges have
been washed out in many places.

Record exhibited at the recent
National Dairy Show i'm Chicago will
illustrate the value of cow-testing
association work. 1852 cows in ITO
cow-testing associations have records
covering the past eight years, aver
aged 246 pounds of butter-fat per
year as compared with the 100
pounds of butter-fat @aerage by the
common dairy cow of the country: =
Although present conditions will
not allow of the starting of regular
cow-testing association for this col1n-
ty, any farmer can get many of the
benefits of such an association if
willing to take a few minutes daily
for weighing the milk from each
cow and recording the weights. If,
however, the rush of work is too
great to allow the use Of such time
daily, then the weighing can be done
twice a month, the 1st and 18th for
instance, and the results averaged.
Once month samples of the morn
ing and afternoon milking can be
taken and sent to the county agent
for testing for butter-fat content.
BY doing the little additional work
referred to, the farmer can know
definitely just what any one of his
cows has done for him during her
lactation period. There is no guess
work about it. Knowing the weight
and the butter-fat percentage of the
milk yielded by any cow, the farmer
can compute the food requirements
for body maintenance and milk pro-
duction of that COW. And can, by
such feeding, give the cow a fair
chance to prove her true worth or
worthlessness. By such methods a
number of supposedly poor cows have
made some remarkable records.

scHooLTALk FROM SCHROEDER
By I. G. ] :F'r,'idblorn : !

. A boy or girl of 16 in the United
States of America probably has cost
the people more money to educate in
the public school than has been spent
in Europe on full fledged professor,
who is so rammed with learning
through lust Of study in the state
kept schools, colleges and univer-
sities, that he knows more than God
himself.
We will soon have a census taken,
and then we will be able to know
how many children in school age we
have in Cook county. Or maybe Mr.
Clinch can tell us from the school
census. If we then divide the sum
of the levies from the school districts
by the number of school children we
will no doubt find that the above
statement, tho seemingly exaggera-
ted, may not be far from the truth.
But before we divide we have to add
to said tax levy the expenses for the
running year of the Schroeder school,
District g., for in said district no
levying is being made, though we
have two schools in operation.
The curious may wonder how we
manage to maintain schools in econ
omical high-tide times, when prices
soar, without raising any money.
This phenomenon accrues from the
practice that has been prevalent in
this district, to levy more money
each year than actually needed,
whereby a surplus has been created,
sufficiant at present to run our
school for pretty near two years.
Said surplus would have been still
higher had not the present board
broken the habit and levied just
enough for each year. And this year,
in order to reduce such an unnecessary
fund, and to ease the burden of the
taxpayers, we have levied nothing at
all. (.
Here is how the fund grew unnec-
essary big. At the annual meeting in
1914 the balance sheet showed
$1912.08. Then the public examiner
came and the fund few up to $2688.98
During the next two years it was in
creased to $382663 and for the last
three years $500 have been added.
Thus at the annual meeting 1919 cash
on hand was $4167.77 and a reduction
was resolved on by not levying any
money for the running year.
Schooling young humanity is nec-
essary in order to maintain civilian
tion, and prevent us from sliding
back to the original state of savagery
in which our race started it's career
on this ball. In our own dear county
it costs, as already said, increditably
huge sums, but we seem capable of
bearing the burden. Still would it
not be beniicial to try to keep ex-
penses down, if in some way we could
manage to do so? AS for instance in
the item of transportation? Could
we not let our children walk to and
from school during the fair fall anu
spring months at least, if distance
does not exceed two or two and
half miles? Especially transporta-
tion should not be allowed to chill
dren who live along the main road
and in the open country along the
lake. For it is indeed a sorry sight
to see big, strong, lively boys who
live about a mile from school on the
main road, being driven in a buggy
to and from school in the nice spring
