Wierd Happenings.in a Gem
terry.

Dodgeville Chronicle: A strange
thing happened recently in one of
Iowa county's cemeteries.
1t was a beautiful moonlight night,
with not leaf stirring, when large,
powerful car stopped at the entrance
of this cemetery. The occupant
looked all about, stepped outI of the
car, lifted out jug of spirits (said
to be five gallons), carried it to and
behind a tombstone, and carefully
covered it with grass. Then he re-
turned to the car and drove away.
Not long afterward a body came out
of grave, secured the jug and car
ried it away.
Just what did the driver of the
car think when he returned for the
spirits? Where did he go? Where
did the spirits go?
Another question that someone else
might ask is: Who was the jug for?
An explanation of this weird story
is this: It had been warm day, and
a man had postponed finishing the
digging of grave until the cool of
the evening. He had almost finished
could barely look out of it. He
heard the car coming, saw it stop,
and witnessed what took place after
ward. He also didn't mind taking
a drop of the creature" and likely
took a little more. At any rate he
got what was in the jug (alcohol)
whatever the quantity. The joke is
on the jug.

No Horn Needed.

Henry Ford used to get his ad-
vertising free from all the stories
about the "Tin Lizzies''. He seems
to have competition now, for listen
to this:
First Darkey-"Say bruther, ah
got a car wild a big horn on it, an
when ah pass thru de town, all ah
gotta do is blow dat siren an every
body hops outta de way
Second Darkey-"Mah car amt
got no horn. ALI de people in town
is gotta look at NAH radiator, and it
say dodge brothers"

FAVORABLE CROP OUT
LOOK.

The crop conditions have greatly
improved throughout the country. 1t
is believed that there will be large
yields everywhere. Reports state
that wheat is being harvested in New
York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa,
eastern Colorado and California.
With abundant crops there will GER
tainly be a return to, normal condi-
tions, and business will gradually
improve.

An Enjoyable Vacation.
(By DR.. Banfeld.)


left here on June 18th for Wash
lngton, D. c. It's useless to attempt
a description of the first lap of the
journey to Chicago as there are but
few that are not familiar with same
Nevertheless it excels the balance of
the journey in beautiful parks, lakes
and summer resorts. Leaving Chi
cago by night did not see any more
or the country until in the mountains
OF Pennsylvania which scenery is be-
yond my power to describe as beau
ties OF nature. On arriving at D. C.
was met by those dearest to my
heart, my wife and two boys. Our
convention of the Catholic Hospital
Association of U. S. and Canada
opened on June 10th at the Catholic
University. 1t was opened by high
mass by Archbishop Messmer of Mil
Waukee, with the sermon by Arch
bishop Curley of Baltimore. I re-
gret that space will not allow me to
give a description of this University.
l was told it is the only place in the
U. S. that can accommodate the Sister
delegates on account of their large
attendance, with room and board ex
cept st. Paul where the former con-
ventions have been held. The aim of
these conventions is to attain the
highest point of perfection in the
government and regulations of the
hospitals for the care and welfare of
poor and suffering humanity. In the
mornings the Doctors visited the hos
pitals and attended some wonderful
clinics. There are seven large hos
pitals in DC under the jurisdiction
OF the government. OF all my hospi-
tai visits the one that made a lasting
impression was the Walter Reed hos
pital, in which there are over 1900
manned and injured soldiers of the
late war. Here one sees injuries and
permanent disability that make even
an M. D. turn away his head in
horror.
1t is very hot in D. C. right now.
Mineral Point is a paradise compared
to it. Everyone goes to the water
front on the Potomac river in the
evenings and they have wonderful
drives around the river basin and
lagoons. From any point on those
drives one can see the Washing gton
monument, the Capital dome, and the
new Lincoln Memorial, which are
Illuminated by three large Search
lights placed on the roof of the State
War and Navy building.
One evenings outing am proud
to mention and will long remember.
1t was a cruise down the Potomac in
the "Mayfower," the Presidents
boat. One of my doctor friends
asked me to go with him as the
President had asked him to bring
along some friends. On board were
the President and his wife, five SEN
ators and their wives, and four doc
tors and their wives. We spent about
two and half hours on the water, and
/ met both President and Mrs. Hard
ing! Both of these distinguished
people made everyone on board feel
right at home and they are two con-
genial and enjoyable people. #:

KenOsha Puts Thru Big
School Program

-
The voters Of the city of Kenosha
have indorsed five year building
program which will mean the
expenditure of $4,000 900 for new
schools.
4 Three months ago a committee OF
20 citizens made a survey Of the city,
its growth and probable needs. For
years Kenosha has been cramped for
room for her growing school popula-
ton. The committee worked out
plan which forsees future needs and
by intelligent planning meets them in
the most economical way. Hand to
mouth planning and building is cost
ly. Kenosha is to be congratulated
on being one of the first Wisconsin
cities to put it's school building plans
on a business basis and to do this at
the initiative and with the hearty
support of it's people. 1gs

Teachers Hired at Good Salaries
Counties Report.

The latest reports from county
superintendents show that teachers
are being hired in country schools
at about the same salaries as last
year.
I'm winnebago County experience
ed. successful teachers are receiving
increases of from SIS to SIS. Those
beginning their work are accepting
salaries of from $50 to 1OO,- depend
ing, of course, somewhat upon the
teachers and the size of the school.
Last fall it looked as if we might
have a decided surplus because of
the large number enrolled in the
rural courses of the training institu-
tions, but in checking over our sup,
ply this morning it seems that we
have greater scarcity than we have
had atany time in the past, because
Of the fact that so many teachers are
leaving the profession and there are
not enough entering the work of
teaching to fill the vaeanies."
Salaries remain at last years
level in Price. Polk and Eau Claire
Counties.
Polk reports, Experienced rural
teachers will get from $1O5 to $115,
inexperienced $95 to $145. state
graded schools, second class: prin-
cipals $115 to $50, primarx teach
ers $105 to $115. Supervising
teachers are engaged for $160ta
month";
Superintendent Edes of Dunn
County writes: Three training
school graduates of 1922 have been
engaged at salaries of $50 each per
month. One experienced teacher has
been engaged to teach q rural school
at $50 which is the same salary paid
Last year and another experienced
teacher has been signed up at $1O5
per month which is an advance of
SIS over last years salary in that
district III.
