IN MUNICIPAL COURT

A boy 10 years old, residing near
Newton, went into the Franzmeier
store there last week and seeing the
safe open and no one about distracted
Sl3. He was seen near the safe by a
Franzmeer girl who came in and he
paid bill of So with some of the
proprietor's money. Before being ap-
pretended he spent So more and turned
the balance of SO into court. He told
hard luck story and was sentenced
to make restitution and pay fine of
S25 or spend three months in Jail.
James Tetzlaff drove Anton Swoboda
from his domicile and told him to stay
away. Whether justified or not Tetz-
laff had suspicious as to SwOboda's ex-
act status in the household. Swoboda
returned in the householder's absence
and took up his abode in the basement,
coming upstairs to meals when the head
of the family was away earning the
price of the victuals. He also made a
cache of Tetzlaff's provisions for him
self in his subterranean retreat. He
was convicted of entering with "intent
to commit felony" although just what
felony Swoboda had in contemplation
our veracious informant saith not.
Anyway the affair was of sufficient dig
nifty to draw down on the unlimited
great two years and half in the state
prison. 1t probably will not be as con-
fning over at Waupun as it was in the
basement, but there are other disad-
vantages there.
William Barth was in the throes of
an agonizing attack of stomach cramps
when he happened to think of the time
honored remedy therefor, and by good
luck he ,3pened to be able to secure
it, but by bad luck he took a decided
overdose of the panacea. This tale was
SO good that he got off with costs
amounting to only 1926
The motor bus driver, who was ar
rested on a charge of passing a stand
ing car, was discharged by the court
after testimony was introduced tending
to show that the street car had been
standing in front of the c. & N. w.
depot for a considerable time and that
no passengers were actually boarding
or alghting from the car at the time.
1t had somewhat the appearance of an
attempt to harass and interfere with
the bus man and the ruling is that
street car can delay traffic no longer

NJ, II. Egan of Centeryille says the
cold spell during the latter part of
January played havoc with the apple
orchards in his section of the county.
The severe weather split open the
larger trees to such an extent that they
are ruined The smaller trees are not
thus affected. Mr.. Egan examined the
orchards of neighbors in that town and
adjoining ones and finds that all the
large apple trees are similarly affected.
The apple industry Of this county is a
growing one and this setback will be
serious.

With many more pupils asking for
admission into the ReedSville High
School than can be well accommodated,
the people of that village have prob
lem to solve. With more and more
young people from the entire county
justly demanding high school educa-
tion, and the city high schools filed to
the very doors and over-running into
uncomfortable barracks, there is an
actual need that must somehow be met.
The time is here for the far seeing
people of this particular community to
consider what should be done. Several
avenues of action are open. Only
those should be considered which will,
in time to come, show the greatest re-
suits for the investment. Ii was clear
ly demonstrated in the discussion fol-
lowing the teachers meeting last Sat
urday that Reedsyille is carefully con
sidering the proposition of meeting the
educational needs of the community.

CIRCUIT COURT

In the Magilski case the plaintiffs
complained that the defendants alleged
negligence in not properly guarding a
hole from which they had cut ice on the
East Twin river at Two Rivers caused
the death of 6 year old Claude Magilski
and the defendants claimed that the
hole had frozen over again so as to be
safe and that a fish tug in the use of
the river for navigating broke up the
ice in the cut hole. The plaintiffs
claimed that the tug never came into
the ice hole.
The jury found that the tug did
break the ice and to the general OBJ
server this seems to be a complete vic
tory for the fishermen defendants on
the facts in dispute. The case lasted
three days and large number of wit
nesses were called.
Monday afternoon a jury was drawn
in the case of Jay Hall VS.. Blake Con-
sruction Co. 1t involves a claim for
damages to the foundation and wall of
the Hall garage alleged to have been
caused by the defendant company when
they built the Behnke garage on the
east side of the Hall building.

Lieutenant-Goyernor Comings pleads
for education adapted to the childs
needs. "For one hundred years." he
says, "we have been studiously and
persistently striving to fit human be-
ings to a system. Children have been
fed into the educational machine much
as a farmer shoves the bundles Of corn
into a cutter which cuts it up into fod-
der Of exact and equal lengths. More
recently we have attempted to fit the
system of education to the human be-
ing. We have not yet solved the prob
lem for the experiment of democratic
education is still far from solved, but
we realize more now than we ever did
before that the great problem of edu-
cation is to spirituolze it and not to
mechanic it."

There are about l0,500 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 and is as out
Of place in the modern farming com

Walworth County is eliminating
some of the very small rural schools

ITEMS FROM The PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

John Bever, from Cooperstown, met
with quite an accident in this city last
Monday afternoon. He had transacted
some business with the county judge
and going out from the office, had the
misfortune to fall down stairs, strik-
ing on his head and breaking his right
arm and dislocating his wrist. He was
taken to the office Of Doctor Schallern,
where all the aid possible under the
circumstances was administered to him,
and he was sent home, we hope, wiser
and better man than when he came.

Last Tuesday afternoon a span of
young horses, attached to a farmers

up Eighth street. Mr.. Seeger's team
turned on York street and ran into a
pile of salt barrels, where one of the
horses fell, severely injured, and which
stopped that team; the other team ran
little farther up Eighth street, where
it collided with another team, standing
still, breaking some of the harness of
both teams, but without any apparent
injury to the horses. The owner of
the first mentioned team resides in
Reedsville and may have a heavy bill
to pay, for the simple reason, that he
did not tie his horses,

WIMBLEDON, ENG

Wimbledon, England, July (by
the Associated Press) The afro
cious weather is playing havoc
with the tennis championships
here. 1t has delayed the finals,
which were to have been played
Friday and Saturday, and it is ex-
pected that the meeting will con-
tinue until Wednesday.
Notwithstanding the heavy wind
and frequent rains. about 10000
tennis devotees gathered for the
contests today. They were a drab
looking lot in mackintoshes, furs
and overcoats with some 10000
umbrellas
Apart from the matches in which
Susanne Lenglen was partnered
with Patrick O'Hara Wood in the
Mixed doubles and Mrs. Molla NAL
lory and Miss Edith Sigourney met
an English pair, the attractions of
the day were much less than on
previous days.
Mrs. Mallory and Miss Slgourney
met defeat at the hands of Mrs.
Lambert Chambers and Mrs. Pea
cock, 60. 6-1. The Americans won
many rallies and played a close but
losing game throughout.
Mrs. Lenglen was in tip-top form
today, seemingly playing better
than ever. The French champion
performed superbly today with
O'Hara Wood when they defeated
G.. Sherwell and Miss D. Kemmis
Betty of England, 6-2, 6-1. Her
volleying strokes and smashing
equalled those of any first rater of
either sex and her forehand driv-
ing was second only in speed to
that of Wood, She repeated later in
the ladies' doubles. with Elizabeth
Ryan of California. when they de-
feated Mrs. Weston and Mrs
Welsh, 60, 6-1.
The semi-finals remaining for
the mems singles are j. S. Gilbert,
who will meet Randolph Lycett,
and J. O. Anderson, who will meet
Gerald Patterson. Lycett's victory
is looked for. as recently he beat
Gilbert easily. The Anderson-Pat

open and to depend greatly on the
condition of the court.

methods of getting work ,med,

Secretary 7 participated in the
meeting, I 1T before its conclus-
ion.
At all prior gatherings employers
have stood firmly for a reduction in
wage scales rendering arbitration
through President Harding to de-
termine the amount, while the un-
ion representatives, offering to ne
gotiate on the basis of wage scales
existing March 81, have refused to
consent to reductions and have
made demands for modification of
prior contracts.
While all the considerations af-
fecting the bituminous strike situa-
ton have been deferred until Mon
day, after President Harding's re
turn, government views of the mat
ter were made available in part
through semi-official discussion,
In the matter of the public's coal
supply, two "pinches' have devel-
oped, it was said one in the north
west, to which large portion of
coal is usually transported by the
great lakes in the summer, and the
other in northern New England,
whence anthracite is borne by coast
wise shipping.
1t was also authoritatively inti-
mated that the government had
suggested to bituminous miners and
operators in the conferences now
adjourned a scheme of avoiding the
impasse raised by the employers
insistence upon district wage scale
negotiations, and tic miners de-
mand for a national wage scale.
The plan involves the setting up of
eight regions, each consisting OF
several of the existing coal district
organizations of operators and un-
ion miners. with separate negota-
tions in each.
Little support has been evidenced
in the industry, it was declared,
for the proposition as made.
