SCHOOL
BUILDING

After good deal of time spent in
Strengthening out numerous complica-
tions, the Board of Education has
decided to place a proposition before
the city council to erect new modern
eight-room school building with COM
bTnatlon gymnasium and auditorium
The request for the building will en-
body the selection Of the site on the
southeast corner of the present Low
ell school grounds. This question of
the site was one of the worst ones that
had interfered with the decision dur
ing the time the project was under
consideration. The request is the
recommendation of the Building and
Grounds committee to the meeting of
the Board held on Monday evening.
The council will be asked to orange
for the necessary credit of from eighty
thousand to one hundred thousand
dollars, in order that contracts may
be let and work started on the con-
struction as early as possible in the
spring.
Another recommendation of the
committee adopted by the board was
the wrecking of the Lowell school
building and salvaging of the mater
ial for the building of a high wall
along the railroad tracks bounding
portion of the school property. 1t was
further recommended that the Emer-
son school basement be remodeled
and that the cid barracks now used as
a kindergarten be torn down and the
kindergarten class and the first three
grades be housed in the Emerson
building.
These recommendations together
with the proposed new building is the
most reasonable project offered by the
board. Considerations previous to this
time dealt with a much larger build
ing program with correspondingly
higher cost.

FREE CHEST
CLINICS ARE
TOBE HELD

Wood county people, who are fam
iliar with the far-reaching work of the
Travelling Free Chest Clinic of the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Associa-
ton, vii hear with enthusiasm that
the State Association is to return to
the county for series of clinics next
week. The schedule is as follows
Port Edwards, Oct. 16 at the Clock
House; Nekoosa, Oct. 18 at Nekoosa
Library; Wisconsin Rapids Oct. 19 and
20 at the old First National Bank
building.
Mrs. Anna Clancy, county nurse, is
in charge Of preliminary work, and
has the cooperation of public health
workers throughout the county. An
important phase Of the advance ar
rangements will be an effort to reach
personally as many as possible Of the
families, where there is or has been a
known case of tuberculosis. Becouse
of the conmunicability of this disease,
very often several in a family have
become infected from tuberculous
member. The clinic aims to find these
cases in the early stages, when the
disease is readily durable. For this
reason all persons who have been in
intimate contact with consumptive
for any length of time, are urged to
make sure of the condition of their
lungs by an examination at the clinic.
Persons having any symptoms of
tuberculosis or who for any reason
suspect that their lungs may be in
fected are also urged to attend A
mong the danger signals of the dis
ease are: loss of weight and appe-
tite, trouble with the digestion; con-
tinual tired out, pepless feeling; a
persistant cough and rising tenpera-
ture afternoons. The presence of any
of these symptoms calls for an i'm
mediate examination.
Others who should not miss this
opportunity for examination are:
anaemic and underweight children;
persons who have influenza, bronchitis
pleurisy and other diseases OF the.
chest; eX-service men found tubercu-
lous; and former sanatorium patients,
who wish to check up ON their present
condition.
While the Importance of these spe-
cial classes being examined is stressed
the examination extends beyond the
lungs, including the heart, nose and
throat, teeth and glands of the neck.
Hours for the clinic will be. $50 a.
m. to 6 p. m. daily. All examinations
will be entirely free, and findings will
be held in confidence.

GIFT TO THE
HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Mr.. W. B. E. Shufeldt Of Oconono-
woe recently presented to the State
Historical Society beautiful replica
IN italian marble, by a Roman Scul-
ptor of the celebrated Greek master
piece called "The Crouching Venus
Of the Vatican" The work was pur-
chased in Rome many years ago by
Mr.. Shufeldt's father, the late Henry
Howey Shufeldt, and is considered IN
every respect as perfect as the Greek
original. The value of the piece is
probably not less than $4,000. Togeth-
er with this gift, Mr. Shufeldt also
presented to the Society Henry W. FL
kins's Mount Shasta" a noble oil
painting executed probably in the sew
enties. n addition to these works of
art, he gave the Society seventy beau
tifully bound volumes of the nlustrat-
ed London News, making complete
set for the years 1912 to 1876. Alto
gether this constitutes the most nota-
BILE gift the Society has received dur
ing the year.

The Governors tour was prompted
by an invitation from the Chicago As
sociatfon of Commerce to address A
merica's foremost commercial organi-
zation, which has set aside Wednes-
day, November 22d, as Wisconsin
Day."
The address by Governor Blaine will
be delivered at the Hotel La Sale, in
Chicago.
From Chicago the Governor, accom-
panied by Mrs. Blaine, will make a
neighborly call on Saint Louis, Kan
sas City, Memphis and New Orleans
farm and commercial bodies, incident
ally recounting that Wisconsin raises
a greater acreage on its certified seed
potatoes and grain than does any of
its forty-seven sister states; and that
many of its industrial plants are lead
ers of the world in their respective
fields; 78 per cent of Wisconsin citi-
zens are native born.
State organizations behind the
movement declare Governor Blaine's
acceptance marks a new step in sell
ing state to its neighbors, with even
greater promise of success than mark
ing its state highways, which last
year brought 1900 nonresident tour
lists and hunters to it's hunting license
bureaus.
The Governor will return to Wis
consin Products Exposition in Milwau-
kee, December IA. 1t is planned to
make the exposition a permanent farm
and trade fixture similar to the Leip-
zig and Lyon Fairs.

DIR. KELLOGG EDITS
THE CHARLEYOIX TRAVEI, s

The French government, IN 1920
despatched the distinguished scholar
and writer ClRrlevoix to Canada, os-
tenibly to visit the missions but in
reality to search for route to the
western sea. During the next years.
l721-22, he made tour Of the Great
Lakes, passed through Illinois to the
Mississippi, and down that river to
the sea. Charlevoix was shrewd OBJ
server and described conditions in the
West more fully than any of his con-
temporary journahzers, thus produc-
ing a book of considerable historical
value. In this two hundredth ami
versary of the completion Of his voy-
age, the Caxton Club Of Chicago is
repubishing the English edition OF
Charlevoix's Journal of a Voyage to
North America, which appeared origi-
nally in 1851. AS editor, to annotate
the work and prepare the historical in

search associate of the State Histori-
cal Society of Wisconsin, who is re-
cogniZed as leading authority on the

scouts Will
COMPETE IN
EFFICIENCY

Plans for an efficiency contest
among the scouts of the Wisconsin
Rapids council were announced at the
third quarterly meeting of the council
Thursday night at the city hall Re-
ports on the summer camp at Sunset
Lake were given, and the vocational
guidance committee submitted plan
for obtaining series of vocational
talks for the schools.
The efficiency contest, which viii
start November l, will involve credit
for attendance at meetings, tests
passed, hikes taken, new scouts re-
cruited, and grades received in school
work. In this way the best scout will
be selected from each troop and at the
end of the contest, which will last
about six months, the one best repre-
sentative from each troop will be
taken on an education trip to Madison
and ether places of interest with all
expenses paid.
Because Of the prevalence of lack of
real scout spirit and tendency to neg
lect their work among number of
local scouts, the council determined to
take action barring any boy who has
been scout for more than year and
who does not pass his second class test
within three months from registering
until he does pass it. It is expected

LET A CHILD "BE ITSELF"
Parents Should Not by Any Means
Make Everyone Conform to
Same Pattern.

Mothers and fathers must realize
that every human being is a distinct
individual, with his own peculiar gifts,
traits and qualities; with a something
distinctly his own which should make
him in some degree different from
everybody else. TIE great extent the
effect of school and home training has
been to destroy this best essence OF
the child; to make children more or
less alike, Miriam Finn Scott writes in
the Delineator. Such course fails 10
make the most of our children; child
so trained is a factory product-one of
thousands who have been turned out
on a standardized pattern. A child
whose personality has been allowed
well rounded development is an in
fnitely bigger and more useful en-
bryonic adult than would the same
child be had he been turned out on
the factory plan. He has something
fresh (perhaps not big) to give to life,
and life has more to give him.
Of course when speak of your
child's personality | do not refer t.
manifestations of character which may
be merely overgrown faults-such as
egotism. smartness or domineering
spirit. We must be careful not to mis-
take overdeveloped faults for the
child's great strengths.

SOME fine
POTATOES 5

Some of the finest potatoes we have
ever seen are on exhibit at the office
of County Agent R. A. Peterson at
the Agricultural School Building.
They are from the bushel which won
Fordson tractor at the Ford Day
celebration at Marshfeld last Satur-
day. They are perfect in shape,
smooth, clean and of uniform size, not
too large. They are what would clas-
sify as a good baking size"
Those who were in attendance at the
Marshfield Ford Day report a large
crowd, and a very interesting pro
gram. There were 1876 entries fo1
the pots % contest and thirty for the
corn contest, in which the first prize
two Ford tires was awarded to A. P
Bean of Vesper. Many novelty priz-
es were given, such as radiator cap
and ornament to William Seidelmann
the heaviest man on the grounds, ar
electric horn to Thomas Bliven fol
the largest family present, and al
inner tube to William Leibelt, McMil
Ian, the tallest man present.

STATESMEN
MARKET PLAN

The potato growers of Kellner held
meeting Monday evening at which
some thirty growers signed up for the
potato Exchange, which will market
ping them direct to distribution points
instead of to commission men and
brokers'
1t is anticipated that this plan,
which has been used for some years
by fruit growers in various parts Of
the country with great success, will
permit consumers to obtain potatoes
at reasonable price and at the same
time bring the producers more for
their product than the former method
of marketing through commission
houses.
The Kellner Exchange expects to
double its membership before many
days. The Kellner farmers have for
some time studied efficient farming
through the local Soy Bean and Po-
toto Growers Association, and with
the assistance of the Agricultural Ex-
tension department of the State Uni
versity. This cooperative plan of
marketing farm produce has the ap-
proval and assistance of the Farm Bu-
reau Federation also. We shall watch
with interest for reports of their in
creasing success.

that while this step may eliminate a
few boys from scout work, in general
its effect will be to improve the morale
Of the troops which at present include
a few inactive scouts.
The court of honor announced two
meetings for this month, one at the
Witter building Tuesday, October II,
and the other at the Alexander high
school at Nekoosa, October q. A large
number of boys are ready for promo
tion and a large attendance is expect
ed at the meetings. Honors won at the
summer camp will be given out at the
same time, and close to fifty boys and
girls will receive medals and pins. The
council extended an invitation to the
public to attend the meetings.
F. H. Eberhardt of Biron and Rev.
kelnhofer of SS. Peter & Paul
church were commissioned as deputy
commissioners.

ABOUT women
ON JURIES

Women on juries have come in for
some criticism of late. The Reporter
has been watching and studying the
matter bit and feels that it is not
the women who are entirely to blame
The public statements that we have
heard are to the effect that women
on juries have not added to the ad-
1linistration of justice. The Repor-
ter would question any statement Or
inference that they have detracted
from such administration.
May we not, without violating any
rules, pass on the suggestion we have
heard that a jury should be drawn
with eighteen women and eighteen
men in the panel? Or let few cases
be tried with a jury composed entirely
Of women? As more and more wom-
en- visit the court rooms and become
more familiar with court proceedings,
it seems reasonable to believe that
the lady jurors will be as efficient as
the men.
Putting women on juries thus sud-
denly without even the slight famil-
iarity with court manners and Ian
guage that most men have, seems
hardly fair to US. At least, it surely
IS net fair to critieise them for not
improving the whole jury system the
first term.
