Takes Guilt on Self.

Ashland, Sept. 20.-To have wit
ness for the defense admit that he
was the guilty party and not the man
who was accused, was the unusual oc-
currence In Circuit court here In the
case of Mike Davis, accused Of having
moonshine. The first witness for the
defendant, John Lisko, testified that a
jug of mocnshine taken by the rev.
enue officers belonged to him and that
he had stored it in the Davis boarding
house without the knowledge of Davis.
Judge Risjord advised the jury that
under Section %, Chapter AL, prohi-
bition laws of Wisconsin, Lisko was
immune from prosecution. The only
charge that could be preferred against
him was one of perjury if he had lied.

START TO HARVEST "SPUDs"
Farmers in Vicinity of Brentwood Be-
gin Gathering Potatoes-crop 10
Not as Large as First Predicted
But of Good Quality.

Brentwood, Sept. 20.-Farmers In
this vicinity have commenced harvest
ing the potato crop and warehouses in
northern Wisconsin will start buying
the first of this week. The crop is not
as large as farmers first predicted.
The long dry period of July and Aug
ust caused the potato crop to be very
small, compared with earlier predic-
tons. However, the crop is of excel
lent marketable quality. Large guam
titles of northern Wisconsin potatoes
have already reached the Chicago mar
kets but the greater bulk will COM
mence to move within the next two OF
three weeks.

VOICES PROBLEM
. OF GRADE SCHOOL
Head of Council Of Educa-
tion, at Boston Convention,
Tells of Teacher Shortage.

BOSTON, July 1.-The National
Council of Education, a body of 120
leaders in the teaching science,
ings arranged as part of the general
program of the National Education
Associations annual convention. Its
president, DR.. Homer H. Seerley, head
Of the Iowa State Teachers College,
told the members that the common
schools presented the greatest prob
lens in American education today,
and that normal school students pre-
ferred to train themselves for special
fields and refused to limit them
selves to grade school work because
they knew that it offered them no
sufficient program of advancement.
Miss Charl o. Williams of Mem
phis, president of the National Edu-
cation Association, addressed the
council on The actual results of the
year" She said the cause Of educa-
tion was in a state of healthful and
hopeful growth. but she pointed to
a 'lamentable shortage Of approxi-
mately $4,000 teachers, in terms Of
the number graduated each year by
the normal schools"
st"As WHOLE she added, - teach
ers' salaries still remain below par
and not equal in many cases to liv-
ing costs. The result is that fewer
young men and women are turning
toward teaching as vocation, espe-
cially college graduates. There is a
strong movement toward fixing in
creases of salary not on length Of
tenure, but on the extent and nature
Of the teachers preparation for her
work. In rural regions, countrywide
organization of schools is coming into
it's own as against limited township
control" ~

has been increased by that conflict
until today 1t Is estimated there
are 25.0O0,000 more women than
men in Europe alone.
Omcial statistics published here
show that the surplus of women
in Europe has increased by 49,
100000. Before the war there
were 1893 women to every thou,
sand men; now the proportion is
LII to 1000. The rising surplus
has been most marked in Russia,
grown from l.042 to 2.299 for
every 1000 men. This Is on the
basis of figures for fifty-two gov
ernments
The situation has also been
notably changed in Germany, Aus

Germany. exclusive of Upper ST.

the war there were about 1.026.
On the contrary, the number of
surplus women has decreased in
