MRS. ALBERT CASKEY
Died March 31st After Long
Illness Buried at Eagle
River Saturday.

The Angel of Death CALLED Mrs.
Mary Caskey home in the early morn
ing of Wednesday, March 81, after a
long illness from a complication of
diseases. She was born in Wooster,
Wayne county, Ohio, and had reached
the age of sixty-tiVe years. She lost
her parents at an early age, and
during her girlhood was employed as
a domestic in an infrmary.
Mary Grenier was married to Albert
Caskey October "a, 1878. About thir-
ty,three years ago they came to Yer
non county, Wisconsin, residing there
three years. They were among the
early pioneers of Villas county, having
resided on their homeSted for thirty
years and built up pleasant home
for themselves and children. She
leaves husband, five children, SyI-
vester, Chester, Walter, Mrs. Ed Hal
manek Of Amigo, Mrs. Levi Krake Of
New London, and sixteen grandchild-
rem to mourn her loss and who keen
ly feel that no one can fill Grand
mas place. She was a devoted wife,
a loving mother, an adored grand
ma, . and kind and generous neigh
Dor always willing to deny herself in
order to extend a kindness to some
one else. Every one who knew her
will feel the emptiness of the place
she so nobly filed. Contributed.
Funeral services were conducted in
Eagle River Saturday morning and
the remains laid to rest in the village
cemetery. A large number of friends
of the family from Phelps, State Line,
and Lac Vieux Desert were present

Tea Made Harmful.

Tea, 'the cup that cheers but does
not inebriate," must in fact also be
reckoned among the very serious and
deleterious intoxicants though of
course only when grossly nisused. In
Ireland especially, and also in the
United States, there are many persons
addicted to the excessive drinking of
tea which is not brewed as it should
be, but is permitted to steep and soak
for hours and even for days, until
some very harmful ingredients are ex-
tracted from the leaves. the effects
of which upon the nerves and brain
are in the end disastrous There are
thousands of occupants of Insane asy-
Iums whose minds were wrecked by
such indulgence Exchange

GIVE The FARM
LOAN SYSTEM
FAIR CHANCE
Dean Coulter Of West Virginia
Agricultural College Opposes
Changes in Farm Loan Act.
FARM MORTGAGE BONDS SAFE
Experience Of Germany With Joint
Stock Land Banks Bonds Is Re
assuring to American Invest
Ing Public.

"Give the farm loan system, in its
present form, chance. I worked for
it for years before it was enacted. 1t
has not had chance to fully develop
on account Of the short time 1t has
been Ia operation and on account Of
war conditions. Leave the system
alone long enough for 1t to prove Its
worth"
This was the appeal made by John
L. Coulter dean of the West Virginia
Agricultural college, to the United
States senate committee on banking
and currency.
There was pending bill, commonly
known as the smoot bill. which, If
passed, would make farm mortgage
bonds subject to the income tax. This
tax on the bonds would result in an
increase in the interest rate on farm
loans and also would drive the joint
stock land bankssout Of business.
Wants Both Types Of Banks.
Dean Coulter believes there is a
distinct service for the joint stock land
banks to perform and a distinct serv-
Ice for the federal land banks to per
form. He believes that the bonds of
both banks should be exempt from

Deserve Good Pay.

School teachers should be provided
with comfortable living such as per-
sons of similar standing, character,
training and ability receive. No one
renders more valuable service to soci-
ETY. than the true teacher, and no more
reason exists why she should undergo
privations and hardships, or be caused
to leave her profession for lack of re
Enumeration than the physician, min
lister, lawyer, or any one else engaged
in an honorable pursuit. A teacher
should be enabled to carry herself
well, TO present pleasing and attrac-
tive personality and to be tidily
dressed. The taxpayer cannot afford
to have badly dressed teacher for

Progressing FaVOrabIy.

E. w. Ellis and another represen-
ting the STANCE Lbr. Co.. were in
town yesterday to get a definite ex-
preston from Eagle River regarding
its ability to furnish houses for its
s. aQlogees in accordance with
one willingness freely expressed last
week but which of course did not
place any one under any financialsob-
legation. Last evening a well at
tended meeting at the Sanborn Off
ces soon ended any uncertainty
about houses. In response to a re-
quest for five modernly equipped
houses, NJ. Frankel led off with the
guarantee to have two ready for oc-
cupancy when desired. f. G.. Hall
Co., Gus Rantz, Aug. Krieck, and
Alex Higgins each agreed to build
one each. Subscriptions to finance
a building association to provide the
other dozen or more houses were then
asked for and S11, 1000 subscribed in
blocks running from ten 800 SHARES
down to one. This was sufficient eV-
idence, Mr.. Ellis said, that his firm
could depend upon full cooperation
from the town and would be a strong
factor in their decision as to a loca-
tion and which he said would be an
nounced very shortly.
Vast Waste Desert.
The great Sahara desert covers the
major part Of northern Africa, consist
ing of 100000 SQUARE miles an arid
region as large as the whole of Eu-
rope. From 100 feet below sea level
1t rises in one instance to 5000 feet
above, and some Of its elevations are
covered with snow for three months
of the year Most OF it however, is a
dry, sandy waste, dotted here and
there with an oasis where drink
may be secured. The winds are all
very hot and dry, while rain is almost
unknown.

ruling and superior class, or at least
superior in quality to that given to
other children?
I believe the desperate situation
into which education has come
throughout the country is due to ig
norance, shortsightedness and lack of
craftsmanship rather than to DELHI
crate intention on the part of those
who fill official positions and of 9TH
ers who WELD large influence. How
ever that may be, the fight is on to
regain the ground we have lost in
respect to our teaching body in the
past ten years, and more especially
in the last five, by reason of lack of
financial support. Let US find out
who the people are throughout the
country that are standing in the
way of educational progress. One of
the surest tests of right mindedness
is record of willingness to support
education generously in the home
town or school district. There are
some men who profess to be great
friends of education, but who rarely
fail to find some excuse for opposing
or at least for not supporting any
concrete proposition that is submit
ted to them.
We have our choice, on one hand,
between an America with It's educa-
ted few and it's ignorant masses, and,
on the other hand, an America with
all it's human resources developed by
training and instruction. The latter
will cost money, but it will return
ten-fold, yes, hundred-fold what
it will cost. Which shall it be? An
ignorant America is unthinkable. -

Women Voters League Formed

On February 20. 1920, at mass
meeting held at the Athletic Club in
Milwaukee, a large group of women
representing many parts of the state
organized the Wisconsin League of
Women Voters, adopted a constitu-
ton, and elected the following Off
GERS:
President. Mrs. Ben Hooper, Oshkosh
lst v. P...Mrs. John S. Walbridge Jr.,
Milwaukee.
3rd V.P. Mrs. III. K.Curtis, Milwaukee
Rec. Sec. Mrs. C. Fl .Annes, Milwaukee
Cor. Sec. Mrs. G. B. Quarles, Milwaukee
Treas. DIR. Ida L. Schell, Milwaukee
Auditor Mrs. Chas. Mccarthy, Madison
Historian. Mrs. S. Gottlieb, Kenosha
The aim of the League is: A coun-
try in which all voters speak English.
read their own ballots, and honor the
Americas flag. Specifically, the league
will work for education in citizenship
and better laws for women and chill
dren.
It is not the purpose of this Organi-
cation to promote the principles or
any one political party, but it does
aim to so instruct its members as to
fit them to choose intelligently the
principles they wish to endorse.

his child. The influence of proper
apparel on children is to be taken in
to consideration. Example is more
potent than precept. The citizens can
not afford to have an ignorant teacher
or an unframed teacher, nor one lack
ing in culture nor refinement nor per-
sonal force nor character His child
had better go half clad, plainly fed
and barefoot than to be taught, or be
mistaught, by such a person. These
are Inconvenience and do not neces.
sarily leave permanently bad effects,
but under an inferior teacher the
child is caused to lose the precious
time of youth and many perhaps in
fiicted with a dwarfed mind, arrested
development, and loss of character.
Poor salaries and poor teachers go
hand in hand.
Other demands than living expenses
are constantly to be met by teachers.
They are expected to attend summer
schools, subscribe for educational per-
iodicals, and buy books if they are to
keep step in the march of progress.
No ambitious board should expect
less than this of teachers And last,
but by no means least, the teacher
should receive such remuneration as
will enable her to put aside each

age, that period in the life of all of
us when active work must stop and
earning power ceases.
Necessarily salaries will differ in
different sections of the state as liv-
ing conditions are by no means uni
form. Salaries will be affected by
and must be adapted to local condi-
tions. - Educational News Bulletin.

It is hoped that neat sum will be
realized fer the band for uniforms to-
night. A few weeks ago the Inter Sc
donated liberal amount as a nucleus
for that fund and if plans mature
there should be enough money to out
fit the band by next fall. Uniforms
add much to bands appearance, and
considering the asset that such an or
ganization is to any town, confidence
is expressed that. the money can be
raised in the course of a few months.

committee he said:
1T will be grievous blunder to re-
peal the tax-exemption clause as ap-
piled to either the joint stock or the
federal land banks and it would be
serious blow to the system to drive
either type Of these land banks out Of
business. The two types Of banks are

are demanded also by the borrowing
public.
