MAKES HIGH RECORD
IN SCHOOL TEST AT
DETROIT, MICHIGAN

Miss Maude Munroe of Bara-
boo, assistant in the High School
Of Commerce at Detroit, Michigan,
has made a high record in a re-
cent test or survey conducted by
Columbia university. There has
been some criticism in Detroit
concerning the teaching force and
this prompted the survey to be
made. There are 3, 400 teachers in
Detroit and Miss Munroe stood
the highest of all the women.
Two men were higher and this
places Miss Munroe third in the
large roll of 3,400 school workers.
The honor given was no doubt
rightfully placed for Miss Munroe
is an earnest, conscientious, in de-
fatiable worker. She is a daugh-
ter of Mrs. Ward Munroe Of Bara-

GOSSIP AS TO
NEXT CITY P. M.

Now that Harding has been inaug-
urated as president and Republican
holds the Office of chief executive, the
appointment of a postmaster in Bara-
boo is uppermost in the minds Of many
of the citizens 1t is not believed,
however, that an appointment will be
made for some little time. Gossip has
it that J. D. Beck, who takes J. j.
Esch's place as congressman from this
district will have the say as to who
will be Baraboo's next postmaster.
Mr. Beck is known as a La Toilette
man and it is likely that the latter
will also have something to say in
the matter. 1t is suggesed that the
plum may go to man from the rural
districts and Dwight WeIch's name
has been mentioned as a possible ap-
pointee, while F. 2. Shuts "a former
postmaster here, is also a prospect.
Mr. Welch has long been known as
a staunch La Toilette man and Mr..
Shuts has also been aligned with
the progressive branch of the Repub-
lican party. There are other posi-
| bilities and a dark horse may win.

THIEVES PERFORM AT
SPARTA MUCH THE SAME
AS THEY DID IN BARABOO

Thieves have been performing at
Sparta much the same as they did
some weeks ago in the homes of Mrs.
A. G. Ringing and others in Baraboo.
A Sparta accounts reads:
During the absence of the family
of Dr.. Vernon Stiles in California, the
home has been entered by sneak
thieves, occupied for an indefinite
period of time, carefully oyerhauled
and robbed. The facts were discover
ed a few days ago by the doctors
Office girl who was sent to the home
on an errand for the absent family.
On entering the house, the young wom-
an found crumbs strewn everywhere,
bureau drawers ransacked and rifled,
the beds unmade, closets in disorder
where. The Stiles home is surround
ed by neighboring houses, and not
once since the family left Sparta sew
eral weeks ago, has light been seen
in the home Local authorities are
certain that the burglars worked dur
ing the day time and slept at night.
No accurate estimate Of the amount
Of linen, oriental rags, cut-glass, hand
decorated china, draperies and other
house furnishings taken can be made
until the family returns to Sparta.
On search, an open basement window
revealed a possible entrance and ex-
it for the unexpected visitors. To
date, no clue as to their identity has
heen made.

What Thief Wants With So Many
Temperature Measures Is Diff
cult To Determine

There is a thermometer thief in
town. He has mania for taking
measures and several
have lost their instruments. Paul
Schultz, 522 Seventh avenue, reports
that his is gone and instruments have
been taken in front of the Nehs groc-
cry store, the Fisher drug store, the
Ryan jewe1ry store and other places.
Just how many have been taken has
not been learned. Whether the thief
desires the tubes, the mercury, or ex-
poets to establish branch Of the Uni

surmised In one case the person
was seen to take the instrument and
his name is known to certain people.

trict, his state, his country, his peo-
pie, to all trusts and to the highest
ideals.
Senator Nye, while member of the
assembly had served with Senator
True on the joint committee on I'm

said, man with a wider grasp of
state affairs or of more loveable dis
| position-that his death was great
loss to the state and to 'us who knew

resolutions state:
"Mr. True distinctly was the
finest type of citizen, scholarly,
courteous, considerate of the opin-
/ ions and convictions of others, OF
wide information and experience
! in education, in agriculture and
in statecraft 1t would be diff
cult to find worthier, more use
! full example Of American man
hood"
Also the following:
Rarely indeed has a parent
! been able to contemplate with
more SatISfaotiOn the success OF
| children; rarely has one been able
to contribute more freely to the
best citizenship of his country.
Mr.. True some years ago lost
! the wonderful mother of this ex-
ceptional family, and, beside her,
in the beautiful cemetery at Bara-
boo, he was laid at rest on the
afternoon of Saturday, February
19, in the presence Of old
hometown friends and a special
senatorial committee from the
Wisconsin legislature"

the senate by Senator George Stau-
denmayer of Caledonia Similar ac-
tion was taken in the assembly.

Appeal For Era of Good Feel
ing
RETURNS TO SENATE
CHAMBER AFTER SPEECH
Senators in Executive Session,
Hear and Confirm Nominations
For Cabinet Men

Warren G. Harding ,inaugurated
Friday afternoon as president of the
United States, began his term with an
appeal for an era of good feeling, a
return to normalcy, a policy Of mon
involvement" in European affairs and
the cultivation of the home market.
He made the flat statement early in
his inaugural address that "we will
accept no responsibility except as our
own conscience and judgment IN each
instance may determine" and declared
that "every commitment must be
made in the exercise of our national
sovereignty"
Immediately after the conclusion of
his address Mr.. Harding returned to
the senate chamber, where, in execu-
tive session, the senate heard and con-
firmed his nominations for his cabinet,
Thereupon he drove back to the White
house and the simplest Inauguration
in recent history was at an end.
Hardng's "14 Points"
The salient features of the Harding
program as presented in the inaugu-
raj address are:
1-Disentanglement of the United
States from old world affairs, so as
to preserve full freedom of action on
all political and economic questions
arising in foreign relations.
2-Rejection of the League of Ma
tions covenant as a permanent mill
tary alliance" repugnant to the prin-
ciples on which the American govern
ment is founded.
3-Readiness to join an association
of nations for conference and counsel
on all suggestions for the preserva-
ton of peace and promoting the wei
fare of the world
Endorsement of the movement to
reduce military and naval armament
5-Desire for the establishment of
a world court to adjudicate justiciable
International disputes.
GA new order of finance and
trade" designed to bind other nations
to us in closest" intimacy, as the
United States conspicuously has fail
ed to do so far on the American conti-
nents.
7-Reduction of government ex-
penditures and taxation
8-Cessation of unnecessary inter
ference of government in business
and cessation of government owner
shin experiments
9-Extension of credit facilities.
10-Strict enforcement of the law in
dealing with revolutionary activities
11-Settlement of industrial contro
versies at the conference table before
they reach the stage of conflict be
tween capital and labor
PA tariff sufficient to equalize the
cost of production at home and abroad
but not so high as to discourage for
'eign trade
13-Development of the American
merchant marine to point that will
carry all American products in foreign
commerca.
IA Prevention of unemployment.
