Needed Help.

Standing on the slippery pavement
of small Southern town one rainy
night, like sailors on u Keeling deck
they were discussing a member OF
their party who had to retire from
the scene of action. The principal
speaker In the group appeared to be
having some difficulty In keeping his
footing on the swaying pavement. The
buildings on either side bowed and
rocked The telephone poles did some
sort of contortionist stunt and even
his voice was bit thick.
"Where's Sam?" another member OF
the group asked him.
"We took him home" the first speak
er Informed him between hiccoughs.
''Was he drunk"
Drunk? II took three of us TO gel
his hat. in the car. The Argonaut.

ISLANDS LEGALLY IN PAWN
Orkney and Shetland Were Pledged
TO Scotland by King OF Dem
mark in 1871.

The islands of Orkney and Shet
land are legally in pawn says the
Detroit News They were pledged
TO Scotland by the king of Denmark
on the occasion of the marriage OF
the Danish Princess. Margaret. TO
james III Of Scotland, in 1471. These
island groups were then Norwegian
territory. and had been so since the
close of the Ninth century.
At the time of their being pawned
the king of Denmark was also sover-
eign of Norway and Sweden and
hoped that the marriage Of the Dan.
ish princess would help 10 effect an
alliance with Scotland-then a sepa-
rate kingdom from England.
To help matters on the Danish king
agreed to fix the princess dowry at
$4,000 forms tabeut S120.0o0)-10,o00
forms to be paid before the lady
left Denmark, and the islands of
Orkney to be given in pledge for the
remainder. But a; the last moment
the king Gould only lay his hands on
1900 of the 10000 forms, and was
obliged to pledge the Shetland islands
for the balance.
The pledge has never been re-
deemed. and though Denmark has
made several attempts TO get back
these islands all the negotiations have
come TO naught

Men and Women No. Seen Together.

Unlike the women Of some other
Spanish speaking countries, the wom-
en- of Montevideo go out In the streets.
They go about in groups together, but
not in the company OF men. The Mon
tevideo woman doesn't even go out
with he, husband. II she wishes to dine
in public restaurant she cannot sit
in the main dining room with her lord
and master. II she wishes to enjoy
his society. they are obliged to engage
private room and thus maintain
their dignity. This custom is carried
TO such a degree that In the theaters
there are separate galleries for the
men and the women.

Spot Removing.

One of the secrets of successful
sporting or staln-removul is to have
plenty of pad underneath the spot to
absorb the llGuid that Is used TO re-
move II, and to employ circular mo-
ton, working from the outside toward
the center Of the spot In order to keep
ring from forming, Change the pad
as II becomes solled and pat the spot
gently until the cleaner evaporates.
Certain spots with color In them, such
as q black grease spot, come out more
easily II turned face down on the pad
SO that the spot can be carried out
without passing through the fabric.

ured one day.
1t is very encouraging to note the
CnIendid co-nneration from, lbc Mann
chial schools in the county, in the mat
ter of health work The Health Cru
SADIE is being carried on an almost all
the schools visited and the children
either have hot lunches or carry milk
to school. Teeth are being brushed
egularly-pupils are sleeping with
windows open and almost never day
goes by without lesson on one of the
health habits. The work is surely lay
ing a splendid foundation for the good
health of our future citizens and makes
us feel that some of the great lessons
of the war were not taught in vain.
During the war, the examinations of
the draft board revealed the fact that
one-third of all our young men exam
ined were rejected because of some
physical defect and the statistics even
went so far as to prove that 10 per
cent of these defects might have been
corrected in childhood This last fact
has been the incentive for the inten-
sye health campaign being carried on
in the United States and is one of the
reasons why our own state has made it
mandatory for every county to employ
at least one health worker.

School Clerks Notice

Considerable difficulty has been met
with in the State Office for the Teach
er's Retirement Fund because school
officers do not send the required depos-
it promtly each month. 1t was decided
that school clerks should make out the
pay roll and send it to the County Sup
erintendent together with the check or
draft made out to Estate Treasurer of
Wisconsin. These will be checked over
carefully at this office and all Manito-
woe County checks and pay roll for
warded at one time. This will simplify
matters greatly in the state office and
and we will be sure that each district is
attending to this matter promptly and
properly in Manitowoc County.
