Teachers Pension Fund.

Milwaukee Journal: Gov. Blaine
signed the bill revising the teachers
retirement fund law in the state to
place it on a sound financial basis.
The law is financed by one-siXth in
crease on income taxes and will raise
approximately $1,00O,000 annually
Teachers who were under the old
law have their claims protected by
the new measure. The bill provides
for contributions by teachers on a
basis of per cent of their salaries
The state also contributes to the
fund and the amount of annuity that
a teacher will receive upon retire
ment depends upon the length of
teaching service and the amount that
she contributed.

1T WILL BE FAIR WEEK AND
HOMECOMING WEEK
COMBINED.

Every where you go in Min

two topics of conversation these
days-the Homecoming and the
plan for a summer resort. Both
ought to be huge successes.
The Homecoming will be all
the greater if every citizen ap-
points himself as a committee of
one to make sure that all his
friends are invited. Sit down
for five minutes, write out a list
of the friends you want invited
and hand it to W. H. Correll, Sec

Residence Badly Damaged.

The dwelling house, formerly
known as the Philip Allen, Sr. home,
and situated on Wisconsin street,
was badly damaged by fire on Mon
day afternoon. The fire company
promptly responded to the call, but
the flames had made considerable
headway before they could be sub
dued The fire originated from an
oil stove in the kitchen on the second
floor of the building, which was oc-
cupied by two tenants, Frank Klost-
erman and Thomas Grifiths. The
damage to the property is estimated
at not less than three thousand dol
lars, while the loss of furniture is
considerable. There was some in
surance on the building and on the
furniture.

Nicholas Rock.

Mr.. Nicholas Rock, aged 81 years
and five months, passed to life eter-
nal, Monday, July 4, 1921, at his
home in the town of Kendall Mr.
Rock was apparently in usual good
health and full of plans and activi-
ties, which connected him with the
busy world until six weeks before his
death, when he gradually declined
until death claimed him. Always
in excellent health he retained his
mental faculties, was a regular at
tendant at church, enjoyed his fam
lily and home life and was interested
in current events. Mr.. Rock was
loyal, philanthropic citizen. He was
one of the most devout, eldest, re-
spected members of ST. Mary's
church, and contributed literally to
the building of st. Mary's church
and school of fifty years ago, and
also to the new St.Mary's church and
school of twenty years ago. In all
good works pertaining to religion
and progress his able assistance
could be relied upon, and many
worthy poor were benefciaries of his
generous bounty, but he was always
exceedingly modest about his char
liable work, following the spiritual
injunction, 'let not thy left hand
know what thy right hand doeth.'
Reared in the atmosphere of a Chris
tian home he quickly adjusted him.
self to new conditions and pushed
ahead with a zeal that characterized
his whole life. His loyalty to his
country, church, family and friends
was unusual and won for him the
universal esteem and regard of this
community. 1t will be long before
the place he occupied in the hearts
of those who knew him best can be
filled. Mr. Rock was born in Wellen,
Prussia, Feb. 6, 1880, came to
America in 1855, was united in mar
riage Nov. 8, 1859, to Miss Rather
inc George. Their married life was
ideal and very happy. In 1903 they
celebrated their golden wedding an

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE LAW

The new school attendance law
will go into effect with the opening
of the school year the coming fall.
1t radically changes the compulsory
education laws Of the state. The
measure affects every employer of
child labor and every vocational and
high school of the state. 1t provides
that children up to 16, unless they
have completed the equivalent of a
four-year high school course, must
attend school half time during the
day. The old law required eight
hours a week. Further change in
the age requirement raises the limit
from II to IS during which the child
must be given at least eight hours a
week instruction.

be about 60 per cent of normal and
late peas are likely to be about so to
60 per cent of normal production, ac-

For Old Age Pensions.

Dodgeville Chronicle: No doubt
that within the near future every
state in the union will provide pen
sions for the old and infirm and it
should be so. Some say that such
legislation will have a tendency to
destroy the initiative to save for the
rainy day. However, we are inclin-
ed to view it from another angle.
To our mind there is nothing that
the great majority of people covet as
much as Independence certain
sense of pride we might say and no
people are more sensitive in this re-
spect than the American people.

StadeI = Knight.

From the Galena Gazette June 80.
A very quiet but lovely wedding
was solemnized at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Ernest Stadel, Hazel Green,
on Thursday, June 23d, at 1 O'Clock,
when their elder daughter Isola, be-
came the wife of Mr.. George w.
Knight of Beloit.
The ceremony was performed in
the living room, which was made
beautiful by pink rosebuds and hang
ing ferns, and was witnessed by the
couple The bride was charming in a
dainty gown of white dotted net over
white satin She carried a. large bou
quet Of white roses and feverfern.
There were no attendants.
At one o'clock Miss Mary Straw, a
close friend of the bride, began to
play softly "Will You Remember"
and at it's first strains the lovely
bride came down the stairs, and meet
to the living room where Rev. C. H.
Jennings, pastor of the M. E. church,
awaited them. He read the beauti-
full ring service of the Methodist rit
ual in a most impressive manner, and
at the end quickly turned the tense
solemnity of the moment into a jolly
conclusion by his witty words of con-
gratulations.
After everyone had heaped host
Of good wishes upon the happy pair
and some snap shots had been taken
the little company proceeded to the
dining room wherea a most delicious
dinner was deftly served by the three
intimate friends Of the bride, the
Misses Wilson, Andrews and Straw.
Shortly afterwards amid many
parting words of JOY and shower of
rice, Mr.. and Mrs. Knight started by
machine upon their wedding journey
they did not reveal their destina
ton, They will be at home after
August first at Beloit, Wis.
Mrs. Knight needs no words of
commentator to the people of Hazel
Green. She is a graduate of our
local high school and attended the
Lacrosse normal. Her life has been
spent in this community and she has
won an enviable place in the hearts
of all of us by her lovely disposition,
her high ideals of woman-hood, her
kindness and quick sympathy for the
aches and sorrows of others and the
devotion of her love to her family, |
her home and her church. She car
ries with her to her new home the
deepest affection that a community |
can give, and the fervent wish that
her future life may be one of great |
joy, and the fullest expressions of
her fine personality.
Mr.. Knight was born and rearer
in Mineral Point, and is a graduate
of the high school of this city. He
was located in our midst shortly be- |
fore the world war as bookkeeper of |
the Jefferson mine and supply clerk |
of the Vinegar Hill Mining Company
After his return from France be be-
came foreman of production for the |
foundry of the Morse Co. |
of Beloit, which position he now |
holds. He is a young man of clean,
upright life, and possesses the ster-
ling qualities which make for sue
