Western Teachers and Board
Confer on Wages.

The plan of arriving at salary
basis by cooperative conferences of
representatives of county school
boards and county teachers has prov
ed highly satisfactory in western
states. The scheme allows an express
sion of the viewpoints of both en-
ployers and employed. It's tendency
is to prevent suspicion and distrust.
The conference makes possible a full
appreciation of all problems involved
and thus encourages the sense of mu-
tual interest rather than of inimical
ones. Sympathy and good will are
engendered and thus the influence of
cooperation in regard to salaries is
carried much further into the whole
field of community need and public
service.-The National School Digest

Interesting Relics.

Mark w. Terrill of this city has in
his possession broadaxe which was
used to build the first house in Min
eral Point and also in the construc-
ton of the old log Jail which was To-
Gated on the site of the Municipal
theatre. The exact age Of this old
relic is not known but it was made in
the '30's. Mr.. Terrill also has one OF
the first bedsteads brought into Wis
consin. 1t is massive post bed with
rope springs. A DR.. McSherry OF
Kentucky brought it here in the '3O's
Another relic of interest is an ivory
handled pirate knife which was
brought here by Marks grandfather,
who was an old salt water sailor.
Speaking of curiosities, the litter of
kittens which were brought up by a
hen belonging to Mr.. Terrill is a de-
cided novelty. This ak may be seen
at The Democrat Office any time this

TOUR THROUGH SOUTH
WESTERN WISCONSIN
BY PUBLISHERS.

The announcement is made else
where in this paper that members of
the Wisconsin Press Association will,
from August 3rd to 7th, tour thru
eight of Wisconsin's most productive
counties, including Iowa county.
They expect to be in Mineral Point
on the last day of the trip. We know
that wherever the newspaper men go
they will receive a most cordial well
come, and we believe that the rich
ness and beauty of Southwestern Wis
consin will be a revelation to many
of them. They are men who have
helped greatly in the advancement Of
the Badger state and we wish all Of
them very enjoyable trip.

ing and speeding. In the remainder
of the cases were of a miscellaneous
nature, such a driver not being ac-
quainted with the road; driver being
intoxicated; poor eyesight; struck by
train; defective steering gear; blow
Tut, causing driver to lose control Of
lar, etc.
"It is astonishing that rs per cent
of the accidents occurred on straight
roads where the vision was good. The
remainder occurred on either slight
or sharp curves and one or two at
railroad crossings. Apparently the
figures show the condition of the high
ways did not cause any of the acci-
dents, but that most of them were
due to carelessness or reck1essness on
the part of drivers.
''The Wisconsin highway commits
sion is trying through these monthly
reports to ascertain the number and
causes of highway accidents. In cases
where the highways are responsible
these places will be taken care of i'm
mediately to prevent further acci-
dents. But in cases where accidents
are caused by carelessness on the
part of drivers, the remedy will have
to come from improved driving"

CELEBRATE JULY FOURTH.

In the opinion of the writer every
city, village and hamlet in the land
should celebrate July 4th every year.
We are glad to find that the Ameri-
can Legion of Milwaukee stands for
a sane observance of the day. In
that city Legion men in uniform,
with colors lead parades of school
children from designated points into
the various parks, where patriotic
exercises will be held. The children
of today will make up the citizenship
of few years hence, and as they are
instructed in the principles of govern
ment for which America has ever
contended, so will their love of coun-
try be.

THE FALLS ARE GOING ON

A story runs that an American,
visiting in England some years ago,
was telling of the greatness and
grandeur of the United States and
when he referred to Niagara Falls,
his English friend to whom he was

on yet? Yes, the Falls are going on
yet, and the Allis-Chambers Co. OF
Milwaukee has recently contracted

Heavy Floods in Texas.

Alfred Ludden received d letter
from his father, Mr.. Frank Ludden
of Donna, Texas, recently in which he
described the present conditions of
the country near Donna. "The' Rio
Grande has flooded the entire coun-
try near it's banks as it did in 1919.
The railroad is washed out on the
line just above Harlingen and also at
Mercedes. The Harlingen Pumping
plant was washed away and the first
lift on the Alamo and Donna tracts
were flooded. More water is coming
from rivers in Mexico which empty
into the Rio Grande. Over 500 acres
of cotton in the Donna district have
been covered by the flood. About 20
inches of water covers the residence
district at Mercedes"

Two Law-breakers.

Two young men from Blanchard
vile attempted to violate the Park
rules at the pavilion dance last Thurs
day evening Mayor Brown discov-
cred the first young man on the
dance floor in an intoxicated condi-
tion. He was Immediately removed
from the grounds and taken care of.
The second young man made his
first appearance when pleading with
the police to free his friend. His
condition was alright at this time and
nothing was thought of his actions.
Later in the evening, however, a car
was reported to have crashed thru
the fence of the pasture adjoining
the park grounds. When the police
reached the place of the accident the
car was gone. Mayor Brown, sus-
pecting that the car belonged to the
second young man from Blanchard
vile, went in town at once and found
the car number in the record book.
After looking through all the garages
in the city, the car was located in
Spangs garage, and was identified as
being the property of the man in
question. His name was found on
the hotel register and in the morning
was asked to report with his friend
at the office of the District Attorney.
1t was learned from him that when
he left the dance, he drank some
whiskey and then fell asleep in his
car When he awoke and started his
car his condition rendered him un-
able to control it and he crashed into
the fence, narrowly missing the bank
on the left of the fence which would
have turned the machine completely
over. His car was hauled in by re-
pair truck from the garage.
Both young men received heavy
fines, in fact they received the limit.
One was given the choice of twenty
day jail sentence or $40 and costs on
charges of drunkenness, and the other
was given the same charge for
drunkenness and also a charge for
driving car within the city limits in
an intoxicated condition. Both paid
the fines. Mayor Brown says: "let
this be a warning to all who come to
the Park that anyone carrying liquor
either externally or internally will be
entertained in the same manner as
these two men,

HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS.

That large proportion of acci-
dents occurring on highways is due
to reckless driving is shown by a
recent report of the Highway Com
mission. The Milwaukee Journal
says:
"This report covers only accidents
that occurred on state trunk high
ways outside of cities. The acci-
dents are reported by the patrolmen.
There may have been few cases
where accidents occurred when the
patrolmen were off duty and the
above is probably not a complete
record of all accidents.
1.-THE figures show that in 81 per
cent of the cases the accidents were
caused by careless or reckless driv-

An Unusual Accident.

Last Thursday afternoon at about
$3.50, Stephen Kali very narrowly es-
caped death. He was on the rear end
of the express truck, at that time be-
ing driven by D. G. Jacka, when in
some unknown manner the large
trunk which he was holding in place
tipped backward, throwing him with
it and then falling on his head when
he struck the street. No one knows
exactly how it happened. Mr.. Jacka
himself was unaware that anything
had gone wrong until he was half
way up the street and some one
shouted to him. The victim of the
unfortunate accident (Which occurr-
ed at the corner of Commerce and
high streets) was taken at once to
the hospital at Dodgeville. At first
it was thought that the injuries
would prove fatal but he soon regain
ed consciousness and began at once
to recover. On Monday evening he
was brought back to his home in this
city and is now doing nicely. His
skull is slightly fractured but he has
no broken bones or other injuries.
1t seems as though "Steve has had
more than his share of hard luck,
this being his second recent accident.
