GRAFT OR EDUCATI0Ns

DR., vinson. president of the uRiver-
sity of Texas. said recently that his
state had no educational system where
the average child graduated" at the
fourth grade and the states chief insti-
tuition Of higher learning Is housed
largely In environments.
The same might well have been said
NJ New Mexico educational institutions
above those of the high school for at
the present time these institutions are
scattered over the state, duplicat ting
IN meager equipment and underpaid
faculties providing easy money for
grasping communities that fight to the
last ditch for their share Of the pitiful
appropriations.
As consequence higher education
In New Mexico Is a joke. The states
leading educators know il, cultured cit
liens know II and the students who
have real desire for scholarship at
tend the universities Of other states.
Some years ago the Graphic attacked
the vicious system and Silver City
newspaper and other newspapers IN
villages favored with these one horse
institutions called 1t an attack on edu-
cation II was an attack on igno-
rance and grating politicians. The
conditions are disgrace to the state.
New Mexico needs better public
schools. particularly In rural districts
where conditions are largely the same
as described by DIR. Ninson In Texas.
However. considering that New Mexi-
GO Is peoplcd largely by natives. and
that the state is poorly endowed, the
record Of Improvement Is rather en-
coUraglng. These native people seem
To realize the need Of education and
the race has furnished some Of the
most progressive educators. II Is UNI
fair TO compare New Mexico with more
advanced commemorative. The
growth Of the common school In the
state Is slow hut sure. With legis-
lature alive to educational needs and
courage to act. educational institu-
tions could soon he made Ia train the
young rather than 10 provide jobs for
politicians and easy money for needy
communities.
With the present low level Of edu-
cation In New Mexico. social disorders

HERRING SEASON AT AN
END AT BAYFIELD,
Bayfield, Fisherman Report Only One
Half Pack Because of Low Price
and Poor Market.

Because of the poor market ant
low price of herring this season, the
catch has been completed with about
half of the usual pack reported. The
fishermen hay1 enjoyed practically
five years of unusually high prices
for their product and have expert
enced wave of prosperity such as
they had never known before.
While the price of herring is not
as low this year as it was six br
eight years ago it is low enough to
discourage Bayfield, fishermen from
laying in a large catch and making
themselves liable to heavy losses.
Herring were as plentiful this year
as they have ever been, but many of
them have travelled from the Island
spawning grounds back to their old
haunts in the deeper parts of the
lake that would otherwise have been
gracing the dining table of some
herring loving human, had better
price been offered for them.

the war under the command of Capt.
H. HI. Peavey. August metz his
death during July 1918 while he was

FITTING UP STORE.

Amos M. Hansen, Washburn's pro-
gressive furniture merchant, has been
making a number of improvements to
his store during, the past few weeks
which will add much to the improve
ment of the place. One of the jobs
which he is doing is installing "a
phonograph record demonstration
booth where he will be able to dem
onstrate the makesYof machines which
he handles as well as play the latest
music for the many customers of his
store. 1t will perhaps be the finest
demonstration room in this section of
the country when completed.
He is also having installed window
display backgrounds, which have been
put up in sections SO that they can be
removed at any time, giving g clear
view of the anterior of thdistores This
last work was done for two reasons
first to protect his windows from frost
during the winter months and second
to give him a better opportunity to
display certain pieces of furniture.
The back of the background is put
up in sections which will be inter-
changeable. Amos knows how to do
things wheA he gets after them and
his many customers appreciate his
progressiveness.

Declaring that the cost of river
improvements would be greater than
resulting benefits, Col. F. A. Pope,
district engineer at the United States
engineers Office, at Duluth, has an
nounced that improvements to the Sis
kiwit river in upper Bayfield, county
are looked upon with disfavor. Fol-
lowing an investigation into the mat
ter made by the Duluth Office, Colonel
Pope claims that any possible i'm
provement would be at cost too
great to warrant the action.
Although rejected at the district
office, the matter may still be taken
up with the board of engineers for
rivers and harbors, sitting at Wash
ington, d. C. Parties desiring to do
SO may be heard on appeal by the
board, either orally or in writing.

DR.. Buckley, Famous Hypnotist Com
ing to Themple Theatre,
Dec IL and Id.


To the unlearned, hypnotism, per-
sons, generally SENS something un-
natural, gastly and superhuman. In
fact, this attitude is usually found
against anything that is not under
stood. These same people who
condeinn hypnotism as being super
natural, and therefor to be avoided,
do not realize that they are using
hypnotism' in their every day life.
All this is clearly explained by
I D.. Buckley, world famous hypnotist
and psychologist, who will be at the
Temple theatre, Dec. 13 and Ia. A
child falls and bumps hisl head. It's
mother calls out to get up, that it
is not hurt, and tells il not to cry.
The child gets up and goes on with
it's play without crying. This is
mild form of hypnotism. The
salesman urging his customer to buy
certain goods ia using form of
hypnotism. A minister preaching
the gospel urges his congregation to
do right and avoid the torments of
evil. He is unconsciusly using hy-
pnotism. In fact, as DR.. Buckley
will explain, hypnotism is sugges-
ton. 1t is not superhuman nor is
it a superhuman agent, but when
properly understood is a great fac
tor of good in the lives of all people,
and is unconsciously used in every
day life.
Those who desire to learn of this
great power, and perhaps to feel its
influence, will have an opportunity
at the, Temple theatre when DR..
Buckley will play Dec. 13 and ID.
Volunteers from the audience will be
asked for and every one in the au-
dience will have chance to- know
how it feels to b9 hypnotized.

MAKING AN AUDIT.

Messrs. A. S. Trebilcock and E. f.
Reickert, representing the Allwell-
Kickhofer- Reickert & Ray Company
Of Madison, expert accountants, be-
gan the work Monday morning of this
week making an audit of the books
of the various county officers in the
court house. They began their work
in the Office of the county treasurer
and will not complete their work un-
til they have made an audit of all
county officers and have installed a
new system of bookkeeping in the
court house.
This the county board considered
very necessary for the system of
books now in use in the court house
is the same that has been used for
many years and they are consider
ed obsolete and not in keeping with
the systems necessary in order to
make reports. to the Wisconsin Tax
Commission. The system to be in
stalled will be the same that has
been installed in many other counties
of the state under the direction of
the Tax Commission.
County Clerk Nels M. Oscar, who
in the face of apparent discrepancies
in his Office, worried himself sick,
resigned his Office temporarily and
left the city for few days, returned
last Friday and has been. confined
to his home since. Mr.. Oscar expects
to assist in the work of the office un-
til the new term begins on Jan. 1st,
when he will begin his tenth term
as County Clerk.
Because of Mr.. Oscars temporary
absence from the city outside news
papers gave the affair considerable
publicity but when the audit of the
County Clerk is completed he will
have ample funds to cover his doings
as County Clerk as determined by
any audit which is made by the
special accountants, and it is hoped
that the audit will clear up any i'm
pressions which may have been
created.

BASKET BALL NOTES.

The official basket bali season of the
High School opens Friday night at
the local Y. NJ. c.. A. with game
between the High School quint and
the fast Y. M. C. A. team and
promises to be a hummer. Both
teams have been in intensive training
all this week and both feel confident
of victory. The odds seem to favor the
hill side team but sentiment is strong
in favor of the Y's.
The High School schedule at pre-
sent stands as follows:
Dec. Wakefield lat Washburn.
Jan. 7--Mellen at Mellen.
Jan. 8--Park Falls at Park Falls.
Jan. 14-Saxon at iWashburn.
Jan. 1S-Bayfield at at~Washburn.
Jan. Z1--Open.
Jan. 29-Open.
Febf 5-Open.
Feb. 12-Mellen at Washburn.
Feb. 18-Park Falls at Washburn.
Feb. 25-Open.
Open dates are rapidly being filled.
The scheduling of dates is rather
difficult for the High School and the
Y. NJ. C. A. teams this year because
of the many that wish to use the Y.
M. C. A. .gymanism. However the
schedule is taking shape rapidly.
Season tickets will be on sale soon.
No one. will fail to avail themselves
of this opportunity to see some good
games of basket ball this winter for
very little cost and to help the
school.
The bleachers will soon be in at the
Y thus increasing greatly the seating
capacity for basket ball games.

Upwards of sixty men are now
employed at the yard of the Anchor
Shipbuilding company in this city
and the place is getting to be one OF
the busiest in the city. The men are
engaged in the work of clearing the
yard of rubbish and materials, build
ing the ways for the boat to be con-
structed this winter, erecting sheds
and machine shops, while crew is
also at work making the patterns
for the casting and laying down the
boat in the drawing loft, and erect
ing furnaces.
The entire grounds of the conf
pany which will be used at the pre-
sent time in the shipbuilding busi-
ness have been fenced during the past
week and as soon as actual con-
struction begins sightseers will not
be permitted on the grounds without
an order from the main Office.
TIE ways which have been built
for the boat to be laid down are
about four hundred feet in length
and enough extra room. has been
provided for the, building OF at least
three boats at one time. Prospects
of a number of new contracts are
very encouraging while the pros
poets for repair work on the larger
vessels on the lake is alsb promis-
ing.
The company has ample room to
lay up at least thirteen boats at their
slips and work - these gould pro-
gress at the same time the new work
is being accomplished.
In the loft of the company a
crew is engaged in the work of lay
ing down the vessel,s getting out
patterns for castings, and other
work essential before the construc-
ton of the vessel can begin.
The boat to be built by the COM
pany is Double end ferry boat for
the Hudson river traffic. 1t will
be 113 feet in length with 33 foot
beam and it is the intention to have
this boat ready for the ope~ing of
navigation in the spring. 1t is like
ly that the vessel will go out of
Washburn under her own power, the
owners having about decided to have
the engines installed here which will
make additional work for the Wash
burn yard.

construction of the vessel will begin.

new work be secured will give en-
ployment to a large crew of men
during the winter months.
It is doubtful if finer crew was
ever gotten together than the crew
now at work at the ship yards. Every

the company and each man is en-
deavoring to see how much work he
can accomplish and to see that others
do likewise,

MILD WINTER is

Mild Winter Say Indians.

Indians on the Bad River reserva-

feathered, leafed and furred life fo1

ton brought, to Ashland by Judge
Obern of Odanah.
Wild flowers have been found in the
woods near Odanah and the rabbits
are just beginning to turn the pro
tective white which they should have
had weeks ago. The wild weeds bear
ing seeds in the heads for food for
winter birds, have not grown to a
height necessary to keep their

Musk rat houses in the Bad river
marshes have not the accustomed
heavy banking to protect the inmates
from cold. The bears have not yet
gone into winter quarters for they
have been seen in the woods, one
within the week being shot by an
Indian.
The wild geese went south very
late this year and they were flying
high when they passed over the re-
servation. Robins and other summer
birds can be seen on the reservation.
These are natures methods of telling
us of mild winter, say, the Indian

even nature has been fooled, according
