"Uncle Toms Cabin" Never Fails
to Draw a Crowd.

Fennimore Times: We notice by
our exchanges that Uncle Toms
Cabin" is being shown again in the
the country. Some people poke fun
at ''Uncle Toms Cabin" because it
has been presented so long, but never
theless it never fails to draw a crowd,
and we are glad of it, for even the
most spectacular and distorted pre-
sentation of Mrs. Stoves immortal
story contains hundred times more
moral uplift than the vulgar stunts
shown in the movies performed by a
Fatty Arbuckle or Charley Chaplin.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
Picture Shown by President of
Board of Education.

At the commencement exercises
held in the Municipal Theatre, Friday
night, DR.. w. M. Gratiot, president
of the Board of Education, displayed
a beautiful art sketch of the proposed
new high school building. The
plans, as drawn by architect Tough
of Madison, are for a modern two
story with basement, building which
shall adequately meet the high school
needs of Mineral Point. Provision is
made in the plans for we'll arranged
rooms for instruction in commercial
branches, manual training, domestic
science and the academic subjects.
A standard size gymnasium for ply
sical training and athletics is inclu-
ded in the plans. One of the striking
features of all floor plans is the econ
omy in use of space.
That Mineral Point needs new
school building scarcely anyone will
question. The past year has witness
ed the largest enrollent in the history
of the high school. 220 different
students were enrolled. The present
building was constructed to house
both grades and high school, and in
better adopted to grade work than
high school work. 1t was designed
to accommodate $50 high school stu
dents with a maximum seating capa-
city of 179. 1t has been necessary
to install lockers and have students
share seats in order to accommodate
the large student body. The recita-
ton rooms were designed for small
classes and most of them are too
small for good, efficient work with
the large classes which we now have.
1t has been very difficult to main
tain the high standards of instruction
which our citizens desire and have a
right to expect with such over crow
ded conditions.
Our children in the grades are ep-
titled to better conditions, than sur
round them in the old fourth ward
school, This school building has
been used so long that it is difficult
to determine the exact date of it's
erection.
It was a model school building
during Civil War days. Today the
hotels in our city that were the mod
ern hotels of that day have served
their usefulness. Our children de-
serve the same chance that the child
rem of other progressive communities
have. The old fourth ward building
served we'll in the past but should not
be used as a school house any longer.
To bring all matters before the
people of Mineral Point, the Board of
Education has decided, to call a mass
meeting on June 9th. The board is
to be congratulated in their efforts to
keep our citizens informed with every
move they expect to make in this
matter. Everyone should plan now
to attend the mass meeting and get
back of the movement.

AVIATOR HAS CLOSE
CALL NEAR HANCOCK

An army aviator, his engine 60
ing dead while he was over Side
ling Hill mountain late Friday,
narrowly escaped death when he
was forced to make a landing in
the valley Just below the mountain.
The flyer picked out a small level
field, from which the wheat had
Just been harvested and success
fully landed without damaging the
machine. When repairs had been
made, he resumed his flight. The
flyer stated that the section STREET
ching between Cumberland and
Hancock is the most dreaded by all
aviators flying over the Washing
ton-Dayton route, for there are not
more than half dozen places
where a safe landing could be made
in case the engine goes dead.

also employed it i'll their ceremo-
mes and as badge of authority.
Among other traditions explain
ing how wampum first came to be
used, the Iroquois have one to the
effect that once Hiawatha, on a
journey, came to little lake, and
was wondering how to cross it
when a flock of ducks appeared and
settled on the water. When they
flew away, the water had disap-
peared, and Hiawatha, looking on
the dry bed of the lake, saw that
1t was covered with shells. OF
these he made the first wampum.
Despite this legend and similar
ones, however, it is believed that
the earliest Wampum was made of
small pieces of wood of equal size,
stained black or white. Porcupine
quills are also said to have been
used. Later, Wampum was made
from shells, sometimes OF the
tresh-water varieties, but generally
OF sea-shcIls. The best wampum
was made from the hearts of the
common hard clam OF Long Island.
While shell beads were early
manufactured by the Indians along
the Atlantic shore, they were rare
West of the Hudson River before
the seventeenth century. With the
arrival OF the colonists, the Indians
were supplied with tools which
made it possible for them to work
a greater variety of shells and to
produce more finished work.

PRIVATE. MONEY MAKING IN AMERICA

in no way resembles United States
coinage. Nevertheless in certain
sections Of the West it was once
quite extensively used for sale and
barter, and is still limltedly en-
ployed. In brief this money" is
what has always been known to
the Indians as wampum and for a
long time, after the arrival OF the
white man, it was very much more
valuable to the original inhabitants
OF America than the white mans
coinage. In fact the Indians
loathncss to dispense with his
wampum is the reason for the eX-
istence right down to our time of
a demand for this primitive cur
rcncy.
Whites Manufacture Indian Money
The Indians, of course, were the
first Wampum makers but when it
became a medium OF exchange for
the carly colonsts and traders the
white men took up its manufacture
and have continued to mak~ long
years after the Indians themselves
have stopped doing so.
There are several reasons for
this but the principal one is that
by the cucroachment OF the set
tiers upon their territory, the In
dams have been gradually driven
away from the sea to the interior
plains where the proper shells ior
the manufacture OF wampum are
not obtainahlc. The white man

Wampum AS Ornaments
Messengers from one tribe Of
Indians to another used strings
and belts of wampun as crede1-i
tials. In time the articles made Of
wampum came to have great SYM

the colorS and arrangement of the
beads. They were also used as
memory aids to the keepers of the
oral traditions of the Indians.

it should be suppressed, On the

Miss Edna Ferguson, president of
the Business and Professional Wom-
ans Club:
81 consider the 'Y' fills long felt
want in Brunswick. Many years ago
\ few of the business women and
those employed in offices and stores
attempted to organize little club
with rest room, reading room and
kitchen, with the idea that it
would grow and become of real bene-
fit to the community. However, for
lack of funds, this enterprise failed.
If these women realized at that time
the necessity of such an organiza-
ton, how much greater is the need
now, when the town is larger and
more young women and girls may
be benefited by such an Institution?
'The 'Y' is far more extensive in
its work than this little club ever
could have been, as it is Chris tan
organization, and extends s priv
eges to the school girl, the working
girl the business woman, the club
woman, the house-mother and the
traveller as well. In fact all women
and girls of the city may find SOME
way in which. this institution is of
zeal benefit to them.
If the women of Brunswick one
realized fully all that the " means,
they would find it similar to fire
less cooker, or some other mechanical
household device, N that it cannot be
appreciated until given q fair test,
and when the Possibilities are fully
understood and utilized, they would
feel It was indispensable, and would
not do without it under any condi-
] tions.
Rev.. L. C. Gray, pastor McKendree
Methodist church:
Il think that the objective of the
Y. W. c. A. is enough to call forth
the hearty support of all good peo-
pie. AS. an organization We know
that it stands for the best ideals for
young women. 1t is real blessing
to any community and | am glad to
endorse the splendid work which it
Is doing in our city"
Mrs. T. w. Mallard, president of

ress is the law of nature. Can Rruns-
wick afford to fail to support the To-
cal Y. w. c. A. thus taking a back
ward step? The organization is
needed in the city from number of
standpoints. Let us each do our bit
financially in order that the Y. w.
may continue tog i've efficient serv-
ice." 4a..
Mrs. G. v. Cate. president League
of Women Voters and Purvis z. t. A.:
'The Y. W. fills need in the
