GOOD SCHOOL WEEK

Good School Week was quite uni
versally observed by the schools in
st. Croix county. From ninety to
one hundred public programs were
given during the week, with record
attendance in nearly every case.
Co. Supt. Aune wishes to thank the
score of speakers who assisted IN
making this campaign for better
schools pronounced success.
A detailed report of the weeks
activities will be made as soon as all
reports of the programs have been
received.
Supt. Aune has been asked by
State Supt. C. P. Cary to take lead
ing part in the discussion of Good
School Week" at the state convention
of County Superintendent at Madi-
son in December.

evident that the majority of the cat
tie owners of the three townships
mentioned do wish to have this state
assistance, and in case it is found out
that the majority of the whole county
does not wish it, new petitions will
be circulated defining the area as a
township rather than st .Croix coun-
ty. In this way it will be possible to
give this benefit to the townships
which desire it.
In presenting these petitions it is
the aim of the county agent to please
the majority of the cattle owners. In
any event it should be borne in mind
that it may be year or two before
il is possible for this county to secure
test, due to the fact that there are
several petitions on file at the office
of the State Commissioner of Agri-
culture.

EIGHT CONFIRMED

A class of eight adults were con-
firmed at the forenoon services of
the English Lutheran church at Els
worth last Sunday. DR.. C. O. Solberg,
President Augustana College and
Normal school, Sioux Falls, South
Dakota, gave the confirmation ser
mon.
The confirmants had made a sur
vey of the Bible and a study of the
fundamental truths of the Christian
religion as set forth in Lutber's small
Catechism and Explanation III of the
graded Sunday school siries of the
Lutheran Church of America. The
class was under the instruction OF
A. L. Rustad, student at Luther
Theological Seminary, st. Paul, who
served the church during the summer
months and also now at Sunday SER
vices.
At the services Sunday was the
first time that this community had
witnessed the confirmation of a class
made up solely of adults. While the
age for confirmation in the Lutheran
church is Is, the absence of the Eng
lish language in the Lutheran church
of the community had rendered the
confirmation of only English speak
ing people impossible until the form
alton of the English Lutheran church
of Ellsworth last SUMMER.
Aside from the confirmation, COM
mslnion also was administered and
group of FIVE children baptized. The
catechization of the confrmants was
held the Friday evening preceding.
Vocal duets were pleasantly rend-
| cred at the Sunday services by-Miss
Peterson and Miss Bragstad of Min
neapolis, accompanied on the organ
by Miss Robson, also of Minneapolis.

RECENT NEWS REGARDING
AREA TESTING IN WISCONSIN

There is at present in the state of
Wisconsin law providing for the ex-
penditure Of $4,000 per year for
Area testing of cattle for tuberculos-
is. In order to secure the benefit~of
this state aid it is necessary that a
majority of the cattle owners of an
area petition the Wisconsin Depart
ment of agriculture requesting that
the work be done.
The County Agent has just return
ed from an Annual Conference at
Madison, where he learned that the
County Cleanup of Bovine Tuber-
culosis in Barron county has been
going very smoothly. There have
been sixty-eight thousand cattle with
only one hundred reactors. The work
is practically complete in this county
and the main body of workers has
been moved to Lincoln county where
nearly three thousand cattle have
been tested, with only ten reactors
found. From these figures it is readi-
ly seen that the percentage or re-
actors has been small, and the total
loss to the cattle owners has not been
large.
In Area Testing Work the regular
indemnity money is paid. However,
the Lincoln County Board saw fit to
pay the owners of reacting cattle the
difference between the appraised va
lue of the cattle and the amount re-
ceived on indemnity. Whether or not
this policy is advisable is open for
discussion.
In st. Croix county an effort was
made to place the petitions request
ing this work in the Township Polls
on election day. Due to bad weather,
and in some instances other causes,
the mail did not reach some of the
Town Chairmen early enough so that
the petitions would be available for
the signatures of cattle owners at
that time. Definite reports have been
received from only few townships.
In the township of Warren the petit
ton has been presented to ninety
eight 1881 cattle owners and ninety
five (95) have signed. In the township
of Baldwin ninety -eight 1881 have
signed and less than one in ten who
has seen the petition did not sign it
The township of Hammond reports
that the majority of those who saw
the petition signed it. However
as this petition is still out the
exact number of signers is not yet
known. Whether or not the majority
of the cattle owners in ST. CroiS
county wish to have this work done is
not vet known. 1t is, however, plainly
