A CLOSE CALL

: Roy Miller had mighty close call
last Saturday afternoon and that he
is alive, and more, able to attend to
is usual duties is a miracle While
doing some welding at his garage
with gas outfit, part of the tor
blew out striking him in the side and
knocking him down. Others present
put out the torch before the gas ig-
nited and assisted him to the doctors
office where it was found one OF his
wrists was blown full of small pieces
of brass. These were removed and
other injuries attended to, and after
a days rest from the shock he APP
peared on duty at the garage as
usual, although a trifle stiff and sore
from the blow received when the cast
ing hit him.-Prescott Tribune.

NOT THE. CAR

A new Nash, -four" at the Jenson
& Halsted garage is now decorated
with signs advertising that this is the
model to be given away on the last
day of the Legion Carnival, Apr. 20.
The car bearing the sign is not, how
ever, the same car which is to be
given away, although it is identical
in every way. The car bearing the
sign is one of the Jensen & Halsted
stock cars and will be run to demon
strate to prospective buyers
The car which is to be given away
will not be used for any purpose until
the winner is declared at midnight
on April rs.
The Legion Committee wish that
point to be well understood. The
signs are put on this car because it
is to be out for demonstration, but
the Legion car will not be run. 1t
will be considered favor if that
fact be explained to any who may be
heard to protest that the Legion car
is being put into use before the Car
nival. The Legion car will rest SER
enc in the show rooms at the Jensen
E. Halsted garage until after mid
night, April 20.

Az. Committee Meets

The County Agricultural Commit
tee met March p at Hudson with
Mr.. E. L. Luther of Madison. The
purpose of the meeting was to outline
the County Agents work for the next
few months. The projects to be UNI
dertaken are:
1, Securing enough signers for a
county tuberculosis test by the state.
2, Promotion of Boys and Girls
Club work.
3, Crop demonstrations with soy
beans, alfalfa, fertilizer, etc.
A, Livestock improvements. Or
ganization of COW testing associa-
tions, selection of sires, etc.
5, Work with Community Clubs.
6, Marketing problems-particular-
~ cooperative marketing of cheese.
Of these projects, the first was
considered most important and the
County Agent was instructed to lay
aside, as far as possible, all other
work till the success of the County
tuberculosis test is assured.
In order to secure this test it is
necessary for every one interested in
the project to assist by helping to
show others the Importance of COM
plete County Test.
Though the work as outlined above
is considered to be most important,
it SHOULD be understood that the
County Agent can be called upon for
assistance in any agricultural mat
ter.

REAL SHOE SINGING

The following is an excerpt from
the description of game of horse
shoes played at Saltwater recently
between Frank Jackson of Keller
ton, Ia, and Raymond Steindorf,
Washington county, Mimi, boy Won
der:
"The final game was corker.
Scarcely an end was played without
two ringers on the peg and many
times four.
With the score 25 to "a Steindorf
began to gain and ran his score to
43 while jackson made z but at this
stage the champion steadied and
gradually worked the score to 40
each, ringer after ringer going
around the peg. At this point A shoes
were placed on the peg for three sue
cessive ends for no count but on the
next Jackson made the deciding
count.
During this game Jackson made As
ringers with 10 double ringers while
Steindorf did even better, getting 46
ringers with IL double ringers, but
the champion was steadier getting
the odd point oftener.
The champion declared that this
was the best game he had ever play
ed, or seen played, in his entire ex.
perience and that it will most likely
stand as mark to shoot at for some
time to come.

THE SPECIAL SESSION

The special session of the Legisla-
ture has come and gone and the Sec
recy clause in the income tax laws
remains. The vote against opening
up all the details of every income tax
payers affairs to the newspapers and
the general public was much greater
than that polled against at the regu
lar session of the Legislature in
1921, showing that there is no real
sentiment in the state against the
secrecy clause. The Legislature
made one concession to the Governor
when it, in express language made it
possible for state and local officials
to examine the income tax returns.
So far. as the Governor was concern
ed the power to do this always exist
ed, but the Legislature removed
whatever ambiguity there may have
been.
AS stated in this correspondence
last week, the effect of removing the
so-called secrecy clause would have
been to oren every detail of every
tax payers private affairs to curious
and prying individuals for exploita-
ton. 1t cannot reasonably be claim
ed that it would have resulted in the
collection of a single dollar in adj
ton to what the Tax Commission is
now securing. In order to give the
Tax Commission additional time to
go over back returns, the special
session extended the time from three
to six years in which the back re-
turns can be examined. The Tax
Commission and every state and local
official can now examine the returns
not to crafty personal curiousity,
but for public purpose may exam
inc any and all returns.

Training School for Social Workers
to be put on by the Wisconsin State
Conference of Social Work in Mil
waukee, beginning May 2. The school
will be full-time for four months.
Positions are opening up rapidly
throughout, the state as social work

send workers to be trained who are
willing to return and work in their
own community. There is also need
for workers in the rural districts.
The course is designed to train pol
icewomen, deputy sheriffs, county
relief agents, protective workers,
travellers aid workers. Theoretical
work will include lectures by persons
who have had practical experience,
and the field work, which will occupy
a little more than half the time, will
be with Milwaukee social agencies.
Admission requirements include
personal fitness for the work, will
ingness to work in the state. Appl-
cants should be at least 25 years of
age. The school will be conducted in
the Health Service Bldg. Arrange
ments for the course are made
through Miss Edith Foster, 55S JEFF

Parent-Te Meet
ing A Grand Success

The Parent-Teacher's Association
met Monday evening, March 81. at
the High School building.
At this meeting were giv"r very
interesting papers by Drs. Ashley,
Gallup, Cairns and Fortune.
DR.. Ashley spoke Of the influence
of the teacher in the school and COM
nmnity and how much cooperation
between teacher and parent means
to the student. He also pointed out
the fact if the parents want the many
needed improvements in our schools
that it is up to them to see we have
them. He claims it can be done If
wanted badly enough, but he also re-
minded his audience that reforms
come slowly and cannot be done in a
hurry.
DR.. Cairns spoke Of the work being
done by the tuberculosis Associa-
ton. He said that through this as
sociation it is possible to have free
clinic in our community sometime
during this year where any person
wishing thorough examination by
specialists may have it. The benefit
Of such a clinic would surely be of
great value to our community.
DIR. Gallup took up the phase OF
contagious diseases. He laid special
stress on the fact that such diseases
must be under quarantine. Not so
much for the sake of the patient but
for the safety of those with whom
he might come in contact. He show
ed how important it is to avoid all
contagious diseases
DR.. Fortune spoke of the care OF
the teeth and how important good
healthy teeth are to the rest OF the
body. The care of the child's teeth is
most important, especially his set OF
permanent. teeth. Through good
dental inspection often times other
discoveries are made, which impare
the health and which if taken care OF,
mean not only better health, but also
Gin the child's CASEY much better work
in school.
Mr.. Crider gave a talk on Physical
Education and it's value to health. He
gave a brief outline Of the work being
done in our schools. He has charge
of all grades from the first through
out the school and his work has pro-
ven of what value it is. In applying
the correct exercises for the correct
age he is helping to avoid many ply
steal defects.
Mr.. Mason's talk was brief and to
the point. 1t is his hope that soon
in our schools we may have these in
spections for the students and ne
suggested we start our health CAM
paign by dental inspection.
Misses Caldwell and Chapman sang
a very pretty duet, while the boys OF
the Bird, 4th, 9Th and 9th grades gave
four health songs which were splen-
did. Robert Parr gave pleasing
health recitation.

selects Strange Home.

No bird selects stranger places for a
home than the house wren, the flighty,
hdgety, fussy little midget of a bird
that carols all day and would fight a
turkey buzzard. or any other thing that
flies. The biological survey. OF the
Department of Agriculture says:
"Probabsy no bird displays greater &c
centricity in the selection Of nest
ing place than the house wren" A
hollow branch or knothole in a post
or stump are his more prosaic choices.
When more esthetically inclined he
affects old boots and hats hung up to
scare robbins from the cherries, or
takes an old copper pot or tomato
can lying on the roof Of back shed
or If the gardner hangs his coat on
the fence when warm weather begins,
and forgets 1t for few days, he may
find when he returns that an enter
prising wren has preempted one OF his
pockets and has his domestic affairs
under full headway.
