To The Journal:

To The Journal:
l am enclosing a couple of clip
pings from the Williston Herald rel
alive to Joe Cuttings football squad.
Perhaps you have already seen ac-
counts of their work in some of the
papers, but if you have not this will
explain.
| have seen them work several
times and they sure are "peppy." Joe
is one of the main guys in Williston
and has very nice business. / am
located about sixty miles from there
and drive over often.
The local Masonic lodge, of which
l am a member, was entertained there
two weeks ago at wild duck supper.
Each guest was served an individual
duck, and there were about three
hundred present. Maybe you think
that lot of birds, but three of us
shot them all in one morning. Wish
some of your fancy trap shooters
could be here and get chance at the
real thing.
Conditions here are something ter
rible, politically and financially, !
mean. The I. v. A. has the N. P.
League pretty well under quaran-
tine now since election, but it is bad
anyhow. If Wisconsin don't wake up
they will soon have control there the
same as they have had here. North
Dakota shouldn't belong to the U. S.
at all, but should be considered
suburb of Russia.
Fred Sheldrew, of Spring Valley, is
principal of schools here, and Clara
Pelton, of Baraboo, cousin of Ernie
Buck, is his assistant. John Muir
ply, a resident of River Falls thirty
years ago, is in the store business
here. So you see we are not all
strangers.
We are on the main line of the
whisky six" route and there is an
average of ten carloads day goes
through. There is no snow yet NO
vember 30) and they are very busy
getting in supply" 1t is estinat-
ed that there is an average of one
hundred thousand gallons per month
coming in on the one route, and they
only get about one out of every three
hundred runners. They come from
all over, too. Noticed an auto Ii
cense yesterday from Tennessee.
Mother sends her regards. Tell the
boys "hello" for me.
Yours truly,

Have Your Soil Tested For Lime

Have Your Soil Tested For Lime
Thirty-two thousand $4,000 tons
of limestone were used to sweeten
soil by Wisconsin farmers the past
year. Commercial concerns supply
nearly all of the lime used, local
crushers furnishing but a small pro-
portion of the total amount used.
One concern shipped good half of
the lime in the form of ground lime
stone. Southern Wisconsin and the
central Wisconsin counties applied
much of the lime. Few shipments
were made north of Stevens Point. In
central Wisconsin lime is considered
as important in keeping and building
up the soil as fertilizers. Every crop
each year removes a certain amount
of lime from the soil. The only way
it is returned is by the appreciation
of ground limestone. Wisconsin us
es more lime than Minnesota, and
she is using more every year. Now
is the time to find out if. your soil
needs the lime. Take cupful of
soil about three inches below the sur
face soil and send it to me and | viii
test it and will be able to report if it
needs any lime to sweeten it. If it
does you should be getting the lime
shipped in now when you have more
time to haul it. Don't try alfalfa
until you have tested your soil, SO
first be prepared, and then go ahead.

Injured in SaWmIII.

r. S, Engelbrecht, who resides ten
lies northwest of Conoyer had an
experience Sunday that might have
cost him his life. To Accommodate q
neighbor, he started his portable
sav mi 10 css some logs. Is was
necessary to tighten belJ and Mr.
Engelbrecht after doing so attempted
to place it on the pulleys with the
saw in motion, getting under the
husk frame for the purpose when the
swiftly revolving saw struck at the
shoulder joint cutting in to a depth
of three inches but fortunately mis-
sing any bones. He was brought at
once to Eagle River where fourteen
stitches were taken in the wound.
He was down again Tuesday for med
ical attention and received the as
surance that barring unforeseen COM
plications his dangerous encounter
would not have a serious or lasting
effect.

generally thought that some OF. the
grades will have to be put in temper
airy quarters to make room for the in
creasing number of high school stu
dents, but upon consideration it was
found that such action would not be
fair. The building is primarily a grade
building. The high school was accom-
modated because at the time the
course was put in, there was ample
room for it. But now conditions have
changed. The high school enrolment
has grown too large for the building
and the grades have likewise increased
until there is conflict between the
two for proper housing. As matter
of fact, the grades in their present
size could easily utilize the entire
building, and rightfully, it belongs to
them. 70 crowd out one grade this
year to make room for the high school
would mean that the same thing
could be done next year and SO on for
several terms, delaying the really
needed action on the high school and
working hardship on the pupils of
the lower grades. It was suggested
that by proper arrangement of the
high school program the first year
class could be handled in some out
side building, especially since the
board is considering a fourth assist
ant That would leave the grades In
tact in the building where they
belong, and perhaps bring to the
attention of the district voters the
great need of new building for high
school purposes alone, which has got
to come sooner or later, regardless of
the delay now taking place. Discus
sions on this phase of the question
we're argued back and forth and it
is to be hoped that those in official
authority will see the fairness Of the
problem and act accordingly, so
that our schools, both grade and
high, can 60 forward at bhe pace
they ought to, instead of dallying
along with makeshift arrangements
that are unsatisfactory and expensive
at best.
We believe in the proper education
Of the rising generation, and we
believe that every thinking mother
and father, when they see the propo-
sition in the right light, will agree
with US that new building must
come, and come ve4y soon, i 5he dis
district is to have the benefit OF
proper education. Regardless of the
cost such things must be done. Per
sonal differences and factionalism
must be put aside when the matter
Of education is at stake.

RAIN AND HAIL STORM
Watersmeet Suffers Damage
from Hail Elcho Mill
Destroyed by Fire.

One of the heaviest transforms seen
in years hit this section of the state
Monday afternoon, flooding base
ments and doing other damage. Sun
day was oppressiyely hot and Sunday
evening severe thunderstorm broke
over this region. From then on for
the next twenty four hours several
inches of water fell.
Mondays storm resulted in cave
IN Of the basement wall under the
Fred Hessen residence. 1t was at first
thought that the building had been
struck by lightning, and a fire alarm
was sent in. When the fire company
responded it was found that the
doWnpour of rain had caVed in the
west wall under the building and no
fire resulted.
Engineer Vantwoud and other
Watersmeet train men reported Mon
day morning that that town was
struck by a hail storm of much In
tensity Sunday afternoon. Stones
measuring 81 inches in diameter
were picked up after the storm and
two hours later some the size of an
ordinary baseball. Autos standing
outside with tops up came out of the
encounter with said tops badly In
need of repairs. Buildings with felt
or composition roofs were damaged
considerably, one garage having four
teen holes punched through the
roof. No other damage was reported
which could not have been the case
had such storm occurred outside OF
the numbering belt.
Lightning struck the plant of the
FISH Lumber Company at Elcho and
started a fire which for time threat
ened to wipe out the entire plant and
lumber yard. The saWmill was de-
stroyed but the fire was brought
under control before it gained much
Roadway in the yards. The plant will
be rebuilt Immediately.

the field of general medicine, but who
lacked the special training qualifying
them TO judge as to patients sanity.
The story is made the basis of the
authors plea that none but particu-
Iarly qualified experts be called upon
to make examinations when insanity
is suspected. NThere are no symptoms
of mental disorder, however strange"
said prominent authority addressing
a group of professional workers, that
are not within our experience. Since
the border line between reason and in
sanity is shadowy ground, the utmost
skill is necessary to determine where
one ends and the other begins.
All of us experience sensations
which, in exaggerated form, consti-
tute the decisions of insanity Take
fear, for instance. We are all now and
then possessed by fear. Fear in exag-
gerated form, which is not due TO
easily removable causes, fear which
cannot be reasoned away or shaken
off, may be danger signal Of
insanity.
Fatigue may bring on gloom and de-
preston much like the form of insan-
ity known as melancholia. To per-
fectly normal people there comes,
sometimes, a sense of being misused
and abused, alone in the world and
misunderstood, which is not unlike
the delusion of persecution pursuing
the insane. In people of sound minds
this depression is fortunately soon
sloughed off.
The scientist, above quoted, said he
thinks certain old woman Of his ac-
Quaintance had about the right idea
on the subject when, to the question
as to whether there had ever been
any insanity in her family, she ans
wered, 'Well, not to any excess, Doe

Insanity is often curable Better
yet, it is much more preyentable
disease than is commonly understood.

smaller acreage sown to small
grain in Wisconsin this year than
in 1919, tho an occasional coun-

to small grains, and $3.50 acres

The figures are based upon returns
