HACERSTOWN SCHOOL

HAGERSTOWN, Ind, July "a de-
~cision to remodel the old grade school
building at Hagerstown was recently
reached by the schol board here. This
building was constructed about 40
years ago and has since served to
house the grade schools as we'll as

this structure is a part of the general
construction program of the Hagers-
town school board, which includes a
new high school building now under
construction.
The plans for the remodeling work
are being worked out by Werkin &
Son of Richmond and include change
in the lighting by putting in new win
dows on the north, new floors through
out and an improved ventilation sys-

The estimated cost of the improve

on the construction work will be re-

HORATIO BOTTOMLEY,

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, July 3. To

Importance, and the water for this pur-
pose comes from the Nile. This year
the water level of. Lake Albert and
the White Nile, whence Egypt gets 80
per cent of its irrigation water, is alb
normally low. In 1914 the Nile was at
its lowest record; this year it promises
to be lower The Blue Nile, another
contributor. also is very low this
spring as the Abyssinian rains were
late.
AS result the distribution of water
in July will be strictly limited. Trench
levels will be low, and it is feared that
irrigating machines will have to be
used as in 1914.

FARMERS GETTING
MORE FOR CATTLE
TESTING ASSOCIATION AND
AND ORGANIZATION
GREAT HELP

Farmers who are members of cow
testing organizations and who are al
so affiliated with pure bred cattle
cattle breeders organizations are find
ing that they can sell cows for twen-
ty-five to thirty-five dollars more a
head to foreign buyers than locally,
the community price being ordinarily
that much lower. Instead of selling
cattle at $50 to SIS a head they are
obtaining SIS to s110.
This was proved especially true this
week. R. E.. Krider, representing the
Gordon Walker Laboratories company
of New Jersey, with the assistance of
w. ]. Rogan, county agent, purchased
two car loads of cattle from farmers
in the vicinity of Athens. The COWS
are being shipped east Immediately,
one car load to Juliustown, Pennsyl-
vania, and another to Piainsborough,
New Jersey According to Mr. Rogan
all of the farmers who sold to this
buyer obtained $25 to $35 more than
the community price per head. The
company represented by Mr.. Krider is
a huge concern supplying milk to
such centers as Philadelphia, New
York and Boston.
The higher price that is being OBJ
tanned is partially due to the fact
that Marathon county farmers are
raising pure bred cattle, partly due
to cow testing associations, and also
to be credited to the reputation that
the county is acquiring.

FOURTH WARD IS
RATED HIGHEST
FEW FOREIGNERS RESIDE
IN TALL SPEAK
ENGLISH

The Fourth ward, the smallest ward
in the city of Wausau, is rated as the
most intelligent subdivision of the
city of Wausau by w. M. Maxwell,
who is taking the annual school CEN
sus. While the ward boasts only $50
inhabitants, 2,400 less than the First
ward and 500 less than the Third, it
has few foreigners living in it and the
residents are closely unified.
ALI Speak English
practically all the people residing
in the Fourth ward speak the English
language" Mr.. Maxwell told a Pilot
reporter, "and while there may be
some persons of foreign lineage in the
ward, there are hardly any who speak
a foreign language. 1t is true, there
fore, that they read English newspa-
pers and magazines and as whole,
the district represents the finest in
telligence collectively of any subdi-
vision of the city,"
The Fourth ward comprises all the
territory between the north side of
Scott street and the south side of
Franklin street and extends from the
Wisconsin river to the c. M. & st. P.
tracks. 1t is the smallest political di-
vision in Wausau. For some unknown
reason the Fourth ward does not in
clude any of the territory east of the
G. M. & St. P. tracks, the third ward
curving around in this district and
joining the Fifth ward at Franklin
street. The Fourth ward always casts
an exceptionally heavy vote and rare
1y has any serious election fights. AT
the last election $50 residents voted.
225 New Residents
Mr.. Maxwell has completed his CEN
sus Of the First, Second, Third and
Fourth wards. He finds that there
are 225 new residents in the First
ward this year, bringing the total to
$3.50. The other figures are approxi-
mately as follows: Second ward, g.
160; Third ward 1,400, and Fourth
ward, $50.
AS a school teacher, MIR. Maxwell
has been particularly interested in
meeting parents. He declares that
several cases have come to his atten-
tion where parents have endeavored to
evade the law requiring boys and girls
to attend school until eighteen years
of age. These have been reported
and will be taken care of. 1t is also
an interesting fact that young ladies
under eighteen who are married must
attend until they. attain that age. as
the Wisconsin statutes make no ex-
ception ITO the requirements because
of marriage. There are several in
the city, it is understood, who are
obliged to comply with the law from
this angle.

Karl Mathie Will Make Run

Following is the statement by Karl Mahie to The
of him by Democratic conference an opponent
to Mayor A. Bentley of Lacrosse for the Democratic
nation for governor
After careful consideration have decided to
accept the honor conferred upon me at the recent
Democratic conference in recommending me as a
candidate for governor although it has come against
my wishes and my nclinatons.
| do this for several reasons.
First-To be selected as a candidate for any
position by great historic party is an honor no good
citizen should lightly turn aside.
Second-I believe in the principles set forth in
the Milwaukee platform and especially in the Dem
ocratic doctrine that the voters have a right to
express themselves at the polls any question af-
fecting the welfare and the happiness of the peo-
pie. While believe in the dry side of the LIQUOR
question and that fair trial will vndicate its merit
there is a more fundamental problem involved which
candidate shbuld dodge evade, and that is the
right of the majority to rule.
Thrd-Sire there is doubt where the Demo-
cratic party stands on the liquor question it is prop
er that the Democrats of Wisconsin should have an
opportunity to find this out at the primaries.
Fourth-Aside from the liquor question the
next most pressing problem is that of lifting the
crushing burden of excessive taxation from the
shoulders of eur people. Both wings of the Re-
publican party have had unlimited chances to cure
this evil but stale pledges of economy have resulted
in nothing better in score of years of undisturbed
Republican rule than in raising the net annual cost
of state government from So 100000 in 1901 to $685.
100000 in 1921. prodgious sum! Our state govern
menI is so noneycomDeu with republican office
holders that neither the stalwart faction nor the
Blaine-Nonpartisan faction can be entrusted with
the task of stripping the pay rolls down to bust
ness basis. The Democratic party will have no
compunctions in bringing about this reform
Fifth-During the twenty-seven years of Re-
publican rule have seen campaign after cam
paign waged by destructive appeals to class hatred
and racial antagonism until the party has been split
into irreconciliabe factions Each Republican wing,
when in power, embittered by long internal strife,
has tried to serve its master and do evil unto its
opponent, instead of devoting itself to the public
veal.
The Democratic party proclaims plague on
both Republican houses and stands ready to serve
all the people; to render Justice to every group and
every class and to substitute argument and reason
for hatred and villication, to the end that we may
have more wholesome, harmonious and economi-
cal government.

"Our" Candidate

Karl Mathie. one OF the two can
didates for governor fndorsed by the
Democratic conference, has won for
Wausau and Marathon county signal
distinction. He is the first in this
county to cast his hat into the ring
for gubernatorial honors since the
late W. c. Silverthorn, honored jurist
and beloved democrat.
There Is no brass band acclamma-
tion today in Wausau over Mr.. Mathie's
candidacy such as there was when
Judge Silverthorn was nominated
The day of torch light parades and
public acclaim of such an honor is
past but there is much quiet think
ing, much deliberation and a great
deal Of approval. Mr.. Mathie's can
didacy will strike responsive chord
in the hearts of local people because
they know that be rs a man of the
highest calibre, OF superb strength OF
character and honesty of purpose and
conviction. They know that Karl
Mathie is a constructive thinker
builder-and that his vision is un-
dimmed by any hate or envy. His rec
ord Of service as an educator, a man
ufacturer, an executive and student
has displayed an unusually keen and
analytical mind, an ability TO win the
confidence and esteem Of employees
and the public and desire to further
national progress socially and moral
ly
While Mr.; Mathie presents an un-
compromisingly liberal yet sane pro-
gram, our own people need none
the name, Karl Mathie, Is sufficient
guarantee to satisfy all who know
him.
