THOSE PERT EXPERTS,

Self-styled experts" frequently suffer a fall
that ought to reduce their bump of self-esteem.
Not long ago one of these experts or interna-
tional finance asserted that it was impossible
for international rates of exchange ever to get
back to pre-War standards, and as the only
practicable alternative he proposed that rates
then existing be arbitrarily established as
normal At that time the British pound ster-
ling was worth about $3.50 and it was propos-
ed to make 1888 the permanent value of the
pound in American money. But international
exchange, when out of balance, has a way of
righting itself, just as water seeks a level. In
d few months the pound sterling has risen in
value to $439, and is still advancing, with less
than SO cents to go until it reaches the pre-war
normal Increasing exports and decreasing i'm
ports have enabled England to get back pretty
close to normal in international finance.
There have been other experts" who have de-
clared that it is impossible for our debtors ever
to pay the money they owe us. In few months
our new Funding Commission will get into &C
tive conference with the representatives of
European nations, plan of funding will be
agreed upon, and the payment of the debts will
begin and be completed without causing ripple
on the surface Of world affairs. History has
recorded the success of many an undertaking
that just cant be DONE"

KID" WEDGE GOES
OUT ON A DRUNK
Spectacular Harvard Student Hears
Call to the Old Life and Gets
Into Court.
by Associated Press Leased Wire.)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Watertown, Mass. - The arrest for
intoxication of Frederick R. Wedge,
student at the Harvard graduate
school of education, was a matter of
formal record in the district court
here today. The police blotter con-
tanned the latest entry in the spectac-
ular career of "Kid" Wedge, Wiscon-
sin lumberjack, prize fighter, Uni
versity of Arizona graduate, school
principal and student of educational
psychology, was brought into court,
but the subject of the entry was not.
In accordance with the practice in this
town, the prisoner was released with
out arraignment as first offender.
Wedge, AZ years old, attracted ma
tional attention recently when he was
admitted to the Harvard graduate
school, a man of letters who had
fought his way up from the secondary
prize fights. He was in the lunch room
early this morning the center of dis
turbance when policeman was called.
At Harvard University it was said
an inquiry would be made into the
facts.

makes up a commonwealth and the
heart of it all is in the child. The
money which we put into buildings and
endowment and equipment and running
expenses to keep education fully eff
cient in the training of boys and girls
is an investment in the highest well
fare Of our state. There are no high
salaries or soft jobs about a school.
Teachers are VIGOROUSLY underpaid.
The overhead is cut to a minimum. The
money goes straight to the mark
bringing out the best in young people
who would otherwise remain undevel-
oped. 1t is worth while to be stock
holder in such an enterprise. What
we teachers must do is to stimulate
more interest in education among the
parents and elders. The Wisconsin
public is appreciative. When they re
alize the benefits derived from the
work of this great body of people de-
voted to serving the children in this
state, they'll never stop to consider
what education is going to cost them
just so they get it."
Asks for Convention Interest.
President Boyce outlined the pro
gram of educational betterment that is
to be brought up at the coming con
vention of the Wisconsin Teachers as
ISOLATION at Milwaukee this fall. He
urged that Kenosha have a hundred
per cent attendance at the convention
in order to realize the greatest num-
Der of helps from it. According to Mr.
Boyce, the greatest array of eduea-
tional leaders any convention of this
kind has ever SEEM" has been sched-
uled to appear and address the teach
ers of the state.

New
businesses

The past few months have
marked the inception of count
less new businesses - most Of
them small, it is true, but pos
sessing many possibilities in the
way of growth.
The majority of these men felt
that it was wise step to start
out now on a small scale, even
in the face Of the business de-
preston, for they foresaw the
Increased business that is most
certainly coming.
They appreciate, too, the fact
that originality counts, in every
instance, and that the man who
has something different to offer
the public, some specialized sort
Of service, is bolnd to succeed,
if he can educate the public to
demand his services.
There is no better way for
such a man to bring his business
to the attention Of the public
than through the use Of CLASH
fled Advertising. Such adver-
Using will bring certain results
and the cost is trifling. CLASH
fled Advertising is boon to
small concerns.

Voice of the People
Chickens or Dogs Greater Nuisance!


Editor, Kenosha Evening News:
Kenosha has a law that chickens
must be kept in the owners yard, no
matter if it is spring, summer, fall or
winter. hope in the very near future
the same law will be given out for the
dogs, especially the worthless kind,
that are only good to chase autos and
teams half a mile away from home, or
to set up dismal howl for the neigh
bors' benefit, two hours at time.
Some people will feed big worth
less dog and will make big fuss over
a flock of chickens half a mile away.
It seems to me that the subject of
chickens and dogs would be good one
for city residents to vote upon. We
hear so many complaints about dogs,
but nothing seems to be done about it,
Why, people on Exchange street say
they are afraid to go out at night on
account of some vicious dogs sorting
over the contents of the garbage can,
and how many little children are half
scared out of their wits on account of
some dog.
It seems to me the worthless dogs
are the bigger nuisance and the chick
ems are my favorites.-A West Side

LIFE AND CHARACTER READING.
March IL

The governing sign of this date is
Pisces, the sign of the feet, and the
governing planets are Jupiter and Nep-
tune. The astral colors are black,
white an onyx and the birthstone is a
turquoise.
People of this date have a deep re-
ligious feeling, and because of their
great persistency and natural loyalty,
they cling to an early belief or creed,
even when they are very much shaken
as to it's correctness. When they do
change they are apt to excuse them
selves by saying it is not so different
after all from what they had previous
ly believed. There is an innate mod
esty of both old and young born under
this sign.
People of this date usually have a
full face, with placid sleepy eyes, and
are apt to be round-shouldered.

His plea followed an interesting ac-
count Of the growth of the association
of teachers of Wisconsin, in which he
pointed out how the success of the or
ganization lay wholly on its co-opera-
tive spirit of beneficial influence among
the teachers.
ut is said that the wage scale of
the teacher is far higher than other
scales in proportion to the advance in
cost of living" declared Mr.. Boyce

members of our profession that q

war times. Comparisons are odious.

The ladies of the city,
They're painted to the eyes,
They're highly artificial
And very worldly-wise;
But oh, my little country girl
She scorns such false deceit,
For all of her is natural
And innocent and sweet!
The ladies of the city
Go aitting to and fro
With little up above the waist
And even less below,
But Oh, my little country girl
She's modest as can be,
Her gingham gown is amply made
As all the world can see!
The ladies' Of the city
They dance and drink and smoke
They make you take them out to shows
And supper--till you're broke;
But oh, my little country girl,

I sit and pet her every night
And she is quite content!
The ladies of the city
Are very flip and smart,

And haven't any heart!

I love and I adore,
For oh! my little country girl
Is such an awful bore!
