Monday afternoon the attic Or store
room at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Bray, 421 Front street, was
discovered to be on fire and the
flames spread rapidly to the roof
which was almost totally burned.
The timely arrival and good work of
the fire compay saved the remainder
of the building from destruction.
Kind neighbors and friends carried
the furniture and household goods to
the neighboring homes. but bedding,
rugs, books and everything that the
attic contained were burned. The in
.erior of the home was badly damag-
ed by water and will have to be pa
pered and redecorated and it will be
sometime before the home will be
ready for occupancy. Everybody
present helped to save the home. The
origin Of fire is unknown.

Libraries Help To Equalize OPP
DOrtunity.

Every school should have a libra
ry," says Sherman Williams in a re-
cent issue of the Journal of Educa-
ton. He. goes on to say that Each
school should train pupils to love to
read that which is worth while, to
supplement thei school studies by
the use of books other than text
books, to use reference books easily
and effectively, to use intelligently
both the school library and public
library.
"The school system that does not
make liberal provisions for training
in the use of Libraries fails to do its
full duty in the way of offering To
all our citizens chance to secure
at least a fair education and to be
able to enter upon the work of life
with more nearly equal chance
with those who have had better edu-
cational opportunities

Dne-RoOm School Out of Date i'm
Some Counties.

There are about 1O,5OO rural con-
solidated rural schools in the United
States. Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio,
Iowa, Washington and Louisiana lead
in this movement. Wisconsin does
not lead in this respect. Educators
agree that the one-room rural school
is a survival of pioneer days.
WalMorth county is eliminating
some of the very small rural schools
of five and six pupils. Three dis
tricts have consolidated, others are
transporting their children to other
schools. Monroe county also will
aim this year "to work out a system
of uniting or closing the smaller
schools of the county in order too
reduce expenses, ITO raise the stand
ard of teaching and increase inter-
est in the school work." according
to Miss Harriet Hutson, the new
county superintendent of schools.

A GREAT LECTURE.

The lecture given on last Thursday
night in Municipal Theatre by DR..
Lincoln Mcconnell was indeed a
great and inspiring lecture. He
pleaded for a one hundred per cent
manhood, and showed that it can be
attained by the concentration of
mind and heart upon the things that
make for the uplift, the betterment
of humanity. He spoke with force
that brought to his listeners convic-
tion of the truth of his words. He
illustrated his theme with an aOccas-
ional story, and with powerful irony
dealt with some of the fol1ies and
abuses of the age. The lecture was
given as the third number of the Ly-
sceum Course. 1t was very largely
attended, and gave entire satisfac-
rtion to the audience. 1t was worth
more than the price charged fer the
entire course.

At one time during the previous day

hope was shattered later when, on

"Black and White" Club Meets.

A meeting and banquet Of the Min
eral Point Holstein Club was held at
Ryan's Cafe at 100 p. m. Tuesday,
January 18th. After plenty of good
eats an interesting program was car
ried out until four O'Clock.
L. l.. Oldham, Secretary of State
Holstein Assn, gave an interesting
talk on the work being done by sim
liar associations.
A. F. Bishop, Jr. gave the bankers
views on dairying in vicinity of Min
eral Point and Ray Jackson, repre-
senting the Commercial Club, ex-
planned the desires of the CONNER
cial Club to work hand-in-hand with
such associations as the Mineral
Point Holstein Club for the further
ence of the dairy industry in our sur
rounding territory.
The desire was expressed that a
Calf Club" be organized at Mineral
Point to show at our next Fair. A
committee was appointed to see
about getting calves for any boys
and girls interested.
Every man in the vicinity of Min
eral Point that owns a Holstein cow,
or expects to own one, should join

Dues are only $1.00 per year, and
the good that can come from such an
organization is limited only by the
earnestness of it's members. There
are more Holsteins in the county and
state than all other breeds together
and the idea of this kind of club
deserves the support of every mar
interested in better cows, and bette,
prices for his products.
