good time to place our order and get
it hauled home, and you will not be

booster. First cost only cost No
masons to hire. We do all the work !;
you furnish cement for foundation
and wash. If there is one of these
silos in use in your locality, go look
it over and see for Yourself that it is
the best, nearest frost proof and keeps
silage better than wood or any other
kind. There is a reason. 1t is glazed

one silo if every body knew the Madi-

Oyerrides Veto

The passage of the army reduction
bill over the presidents veto is one of
the hopeful signs of the times. The
United States must be saved from be-
coming militaristic nation, and re-
duction of armament is the logical
means to that end. President Har-
ding is to be given a free hand, it is
said, in arranging for a meeting of
the nations of the earth relative to in
ternational disarmament. Reduction
of our army will make our position
in the conference more influential and
sincere. The Censor believes that the
race will eventually abolish war, and
is opposed to large army and COM
pulsory military service. However,
until all nations agree TO disarm, we
believe the national guard should be
given every encouragement.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES

Capt. Heinz, district attorney for
Vernon county, visited the Training
school last Wednesday and addressed
the students during the general exer-
else period In his talk on the Philip
pines he traced briefly the early his
tory of the Inhabitants of the islands
and gave a general idea of conditions
as they exist today. Mr.. Heinz stated
that one Of the chief reasons why the
natives do not progress more rapidly
as unit is because so many different
dialects are spoken on the Islands.
They do not seem to be able to master
the English language.
The Vecono Society gave a short
program Monday afternoon. In the
evening Valentine Party was given
for the members.
Visitors at the school during the
week were Mayor Roseland, M. Stem
erson, former principal of the Sank
County Training School, County Supt.
r. B. Nolan of Richland Center, Miss
Veronica Foster and Mr.. Pepper, SUI
pervising teacher.
A short test on correct verb forms
in the use of English was given to the
school last Thursday in which the av-
erages resulted as follows:
Whole school $50
Seniors S8.S
Juniors S5.5
Beginners GIG
The verb form misused the great
est number of times in the test was
81 drag" Yesterday l dragged" 81

sons earned perfect marks:

Martha Call
Inga Halverson /.
Pernille Christianson
New books received during the week
for Reading Circle work are: "The
Fairview Idea" How to Study and
Teaching How to Study" and New

Members of the senior class have
ordered their class rings and pins.
The design selected is very attrac-
tive one.
The Treble Clef Club, a musical or
ganization, which has been formed in
the Training School, has begun TO
meet regularly for practice. Names
of the members will be published next
week.
Plans are being made for members
of the senior class to do week cadet
work in rural schools of the county.
This work takes the prospective teach
er into one of the best taught schools
in the county for a week of observa-
ton and teaching under actual con-
ditions as they exist. It is required
in addition 20 weeks of practice teach
ing in the Model School and aims to
give the student a deeper insight into
the work for which she is preparing.
In other words, it helps to prepare her
for the job.

1t is expected that these maids of hon

early date.
So far nothing definite has been
done about special car from Column

matter up with the railroad officials
and it is practically certain that the
necessary arrangements can be made.

BURNS ON MONDAY.
HUNDREDS ARE STILL UNPA 0
Those Who Have Paid Are Largely

Young Men Who Have No Property
CIassed as Deinquents.

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.) .
approximately ESQ voters have paid
poll taxes since the last drive for pay
ment begun, according to County Trus-
zee j. Ross Burns this morning. Even
with the payment of this number of
polls, there are still hundreds of voters
in the county who will not be eligible
to cast their ballots in the democrat
ic primary on November ~ because
Of the fact that they have not paid
their polls, There are several hun
bred democratic voters in the ninth
district alone who have not paid the
poll tax, and it is believed that this
will greatly reduce the expected vote
in the primary, as both poll tax and
certificates will requir-
ed.
A greater part of those who have
paid the poll tax are property owners,
who include the poll in the payment
of the property tax. The unpaid are
largely young men who have no prop
erty assessed in the county, and this
may have its effect in the election of
county officers.
