WILL ENROLL
MORE STUDENTS
NEW TEACHERS ENGAGED.
DORMITORY is NEXT
BIG NEED

The Marathon County Training
school will open its school year on
August 29th, when lis to 125 students
from throughout Marthon county and
the city of Wausau are expected to en-
roll, an increase of fifteen to twenty
five over last year. Perhaps because
of depression that exists in business
lines or because of the increased en-
olument coming to teachers, the NUM-
Der of young people contemplating the
teaching profession seems to be in
creasing.
Lack of Rooms
"The biggest problem that / have on
my hands now is that of finding room
ing Accommodations for the many pu-
pills who come to the Training school
from out of the city," d. A. SwartZ,
principal, told a Pilot representative.
Last year there was quite number
for whom Accommodations could not be
found" As a remedy for this situa-
tion dormitory has been discussed
and at one time in the past plans
were drawn for one. The state assists
the county to the extent of $4,000 in
the construction of such building.
Langlade county is one of the few in
this part of the state that has a DOR
mitory for its county normal.
The faculty of the Training school
will include two new faces this year,
Miss Harriet Murphy of Sparta, who
Will teach domestic science, and Miss
Hulda Schrode of Stevens Point, who
will be in charge of the Model school.
ID. A. Swartz is remaining as princi-
pal 1f the institution while Miss Edith
Hamacher, of Stevens Point, and Miss
Ruby Waldron, of Menominie will
again be members of the faculty.
Opens Later
Work in the Model school will not
commence until two or three weeks
after the Training school proper has
opened. This part of the course is
considered most essential and typi-
cal rural school is provided, supplied
with pupils from the towns of Flieth
and Stettin principally.
The Training school accepts gradu-
ates from eighth grade at the present
time providing they are fourteen
years of age. II also holds out an ex-
cellent opportunity to high school
graduates who may attend one year
and then teach. Whatever work these
students take in the Training school
will be counted if they ever attend a
Normal school.

INSTANTLY KILLED WHILE
SEATED IN HIS HOME
NEAR MOON

Stealthily creeping onto the porch
some enemy shot and instantly killed
Carl Wensauer, bachelor, at his home
in the town of Bergen, probably on
Monday evening. No clue of the
faintest character has yet been un-
covered which might lead to the ap-
prehension of the murderer, who did
not even enter the home but shot
through screen and window pane, hit
ting Wensauer squarely in the center
of the face as he turned toward the
window, evidently having heard some
mysterious noise outdoors. ~
A Dog Passes
Until Tuesday no one knew of the
murder but during that evening some
neighbor phoned DR.. Butler at Mosi-
nee to the effect that Wensauer had
been fatally shot and the doctor hur-
ried out beyond Moon to the scene of
the murder. The assertions of the
person calling were verified, the doc
tor returned to Mosinee and at 800
a. N. Wednesday, Coroner William G.
Meilahn was notified. Together with
Fred E. Schroeder, sheriff, and Geo. j.
Leicht, district attorney, he started
for the town of Bergen. At Mosinee
DR.. Butler was taken into the party.
Several neighbors, after having dis
covered the tragedy, had remained at
the Wensauer home overnight and
greeted the county officials and DR..
Butler on their arrival. The mur-
dered man still sat as he did at the
time he had been shot-in a chair be-
tween library table and the window.
Behind him and in direct line from
the window, lamp rested thus Gre
ating a target for the murderer that
was perfect.
No One Near
Wensauer was bachelor and there
was no one on his farm at the time
the deed was committed. Until sew
eral years ago he had kept a house

HERMAN KRUGER is
GIVEN APPOINTMENT AS
MERRILL POSTMASTER

Herman A. Krueger has been ap-
pointed postmaster of Merrill for a
term of four years, succeeding Rich
ard B. Runke, who resigned in June,
1920. Mr.. Kruger is a Marathon
county product, having been born in
the town of Berlin. Of him the Mer-
rill Herald says in part:
''At the age of IA, he entered the
schools of Wausau. His father died
when Mr.. Kruger was six years old
and he was obliged to work his way
in securing an education. At the age
of 19 he began teaching in country
schools, which profession he followed
fir ten years, teaching in the towns
Of Berlin, Stettin and Dancy in Mar
athon county, and in the town of
Scott in Lincoln county. During sum-
mer vacations he attended the Wau-
sau Business college and the Northern
Indiana Normal school at Valparaiso,
pursuing the teachers course at both
and completing the bookkeeping and
commercial courses at the latter in
stitution.

MURDERED BACHELOR NOT
DISCOVERED FOR "a HOURS

keeper, but after her death two years
ago, he resided alone Although the
definite time of the murder is not
known, Coroner Meilahn and DR.. But
Ter were of the opinion that it must
have been Monday night, the condi-
tion of Wensauer's body giving every
indication of this fact. The man evil
IDENTIFY was killed instantly for no att
tempt was made by him to rise out of
his seat and only one bullet entered
his body.
Premeditated
One shot the criminal evidently
missed, for the bullet lodged in the
wall beyond. That this was a pre-
meditated affair, is the general con-
clusion, particularly because nothing
seems to have been touched about the
place and there is every evidence that
the murderer saw Wensauer seated at
the table near the lamp and proceed
ed to crawl toward the window. The
angle at which the bullet entered
Wensauer's head also proves the fact
that the dead man heard noise and
turned his head directly toward the
window, thus receiving the shot with
full force.

and he is now being held at the coun-
ty Jail. That some definite clues may
result from the coroner's jury today
is the opinion of those who went to
Moon Wednesday morning.
Not Divorced
Wensauer's housekeeper was a Mrs
Brown, who was not divorced from
her husband. She had, however, re-
fused to be reconciled to him and had
kept house for Wensauer for several
years after leaving, her husband 1t
is understood that she was not able
to obtain divorce although Wensauer
deposited $4,000 on one occasion in
an attempt to obtain separation for
her.

TEACHERS GET
STATE BONUS
SERVICE BRINGS REWARD
IN WAY OF SPECIAL
MONEY GIFT

Because teachers do float' the
number Of rural school instructors
who are receiving special aid from
the state under the two-four-eight
law, is not what is should be in Mar
athon county, according to Sept j. e.
Giessel.
Amount of Aid
Under this law teachers who re-
mann in the same district second
year receive $500 month in addi-
ton to their salary from the state, if
their work is approved by the county
superintendent. The third year, if in
the same district, they receive $4,00,
and the fourth year, $500 per month.
Ihis additional revenue the state has
offered as an inducement to teachers
to remain in the same district from
year to year.
But teachers are itinerants, the
same as printers, and after they have
taught reasonable length of time
in one place they like to get into a
different atmosphere. School boards
have in many cases taken advantage
of the bonus offered and when teach
ers remain second year they fire.
quently take advantage of the bonus
by toning down the salary they pay.
Those Who Benefited

rural teachers who last year received
state aid, the list of whom Supt. j. E.

WILL LET MEMBERS
DECIDE QUESTION
BARN PROJECT EITHER TO
GO AHEAD OR DIE IN
SEPTEMBER

The barn committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce, which is composed
of John Sell, chairman, Oran Lille
qy1st, and c. G. Kruger, and John A.
Sullivan, representing the Rotary
club, and c. Z. Parker, representing
the Kiwanis club, met last Monday
evening to discuss the proposition, on
which little or no work has been done
for some time.
Meet Next Month
The decision of the group was to lay
the matter of building a barn to house
horses driven to town, until the Sep
tember meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce. According to ID. A. Cald-
well, secretary, this meeting will be
held as soon after the first of the
month as can be arranged.
Small donations have been received
from various groups, but the commit
tee did not meet with response from
certain sources.
No Criticism
Although there has been no criti-
cism of the plan and everyone seems
TO publicly state the necessity for such
barn, the money has not been forth
coming and the committee feels that
1t has done its utmost to put the pro-
position across.
The delay that has been experience
ed may mean that the structure can
be put up for several thousand dollars
less than 1t was at first contemplated
would be needed

team preparation and finance of all
the games in the Maine series.
Therefore we prefer the rotating
schedule to any other plan.
Second, since two of the Maine COL
legeS are opposed to the rotating
schedule, we have made the follow
ing suggestion. pertaining to the
Bowdoin- Bates game only, that the
two institutions alternate in the privi-
lege of selecting the date of our
games, Bowdoin naming the date for
1922 and Bates for 1928.
This arrangement would allow
Bates to share equally with Bowdoin
the advantages of a late date. These
advantages include as you well know
greater financial return resulting
from the increase in public interests,
as the season advances. Also a de-
cided advantage in the matter of
keen preparation for, as conditions
now stand. Bowdoin is able to watch
Bates in both of it's other State
games and is therefore better able to
meet Bates style of play.
The contention that Bowdoin's
right to select the U. of NJ. game
year after year as the final game in
the States series is supported by the
practice of Harvard. does not seem
to us to be well taken.
From the point of view of fairness
and reason the above proposition
seems to us beyond criticism, there
for when you state in your. letter of
Nov. u that Bowdoin is not willing
to consider any plan except that the
Eowdoin- Bates game be played on
Oct. 2S in 1922 with no agreement
for 1923 we cannot blu, feel that
your committee has unintentionally
failed to consider our proposal from
the point of view of true sports
manship and the best interests of in
ter-collegiate football in the State of
Maine.
In deciding upon our answer to
your letter we have tried to consider
not only its direct bearing upon the
