wedge toward compelling the ma
iority in America, or militant and
effective minority, to accept the
doctrine of communism.
Investigations conducted by the
Bituminous Operators Special Com
mittee, appointed to cooperate with
the United States Coal Commission,
have found that labor is one of the.
principal factors of the cost of
coal at the mine, amounting to 68.7
per cent of the total. The constant
interruption of the coal supply by
nationwide strikes, made possible
by a growing monopolistic power on
the part of the United Mine Work
ers Of America, is given as the chief
deterrent to a regular supply Of coal

STATE SCHOOL DATA
Preparations Being Made to
Educate Her Half Million
Children.

Preparations are being made by
the state department of public in
struction to continue the educa-
ton of half million children this
fall.
This number is estimated to be
the enrolment of all graded and
high schools of the state and will
be housed in every kind of conceiv-
able building from the one-room
shack to the modern structure of
brick and concrete.
In spite of determined efforts to
wipe it out of existence the little
red school house still holds forth
in Wisconsin. 1t most likely is
painted white now but the accom-
modations are no better.
Little one room shacks built rs
years ago are still being used for
school purposes in some sections
of the state with practically no
improvements since they were
built. But they are passing with
the industrial commission survey
ing all plans for new buildings.
In spite of the unsanitary, I'M
comfortable condition of the one
room school of the pioneers it has
it's defenders and an effort was
made at the last session of the
legislature to. take the construc-
ton of these buildings out of
state supervision but it failed.
Farmer members of the legisla-
ture claimed that they could build
school structures more cheaply If
not forced to live up to certain
specifications.
The country is still the paradise
of the small boy IN Wisconsin al
though the despair of educators.
Under the state law country child
rem are forced to attend school
but six months in the year, in vii
lagos and incorporated cities, the
compulsory school term is eight
months, while in Milwaukee all
children must attend school 10
months of the year. An effort was
made at the last session to length
en- the school terms In the smaller
communities at which children
be forced to attend but it failed.
1t will take $4,000 teachers to
supply the states common and
high schools this fall. Of this
nmber $500 will teach in rural
schools.

Potatoes Will Occupy Attention.
Potato Champion of Wisconsin!

rotate champion OF wisconsin!
This title is to 5e conferred up
on the boy or girl in potato club
work who wins first place at the
coming Wisconsin State Fair, Mil
waukee, August 9th to September
LIST.
Potatoes of standard varieties,
suited to local conditions, are be-
ing raised by the children for ex-
hibition at the fair. In making up
the list of selected varieties for
the show, many kinds of potatoes
in this territory of an inferior sort
were left out. One Of the big
benefits obtained from potato club
work in this locality has been this
emphasis of standard varieties.
Boys and girls enrolled in potato
club work this spring were in
structed by club leaders to treat
their seed potatoes with solution
of corrosive sublinlate. The pota-
toes were soaked in this solution
before they were planted. This
treatment is protecting their po-
tato crop against the attacks of
carly blight, late blight, blank
scurf and common scab. AS a re-
suit, potatoes of splendid quality
are assured for the fair.
A few years ago potatoes were
hilled with hoe, and cultivation
was believed necessary only to kill
the weeds. New club members are
being taught to use level cultiva-
ton, and stir the ground frequent
ly, not only to kill the weeds, but
keep the moisture in the soil. The
potatoes intended for the show
will not be dug until day or two
before the fair.
Prizes offered by the fair for all
kinds of children's work this year
total S6,325.00.

Trunk Highway Addition.

The Legislature of 1923 has au-
thorized the addition of $500 miles
of road to the 1900 mile State
Trunk Highway System, 5000 miles
of which were laid out in 1917,
and the remainder in 1919. The
Governor has appointed a special
committee of the legislature to
act with the State Highway Com
mission in the layout.
There will be hearings at all
county seats to gain information
on which to base the selection of
the new trunk highways. Any es-
sential charges in the present sys-
tenn (and any Encouragement of
the present system made neces-
sary by proposed new routes may
also be brought up at these hear
ings.
The hearing for Villas County
will be held by the Special Legis-
lative Committee and the State
Highway Commission in the Court
House in Eagle River, beginning
at 500 p. M, Friday, August "a,
1923. All interested citizens are
invited to be present and to pre-
sent their views.

Why Not the Autumn Tourist?

Wisconsin is being advertised as
a summer vacation land. It's ap-
peal to those who want to get out
into the open, who want to en-
gage in sports or rest beside the
lakes, has not been overdrawn.
But what about the autumn vaca-
ton season?
The state has wonderful autumn
days-a cloudless horizon on which
the mellowed tones of fall are
blended by the blue haze of Indian
summer. Just enough nip in the
morning air to be bracing; bright
sunshine at noon; and in the ev-
ening the stiffness that one finds
only in the season before the win
ter. Beauty spots and river lines
are enhancing; miles and miles of
forests in which the green of the
pines mingle with the yellows and
reds of the soft woods and hard
woods. Water sports are as good
then as in the summer. And there
are many new interests to appeal
to the traveller.
Wisconsin has all these things,
but it hasn't told anyone about
them yet. We shut up shop on
Labor day and give the impress
sion that it is all over until the
next summer.
Here is where we are missing a
big opportunity. There is a real
autumn vacation business and
Wisconsin should have it's share.
But there is only one way to get

of Wisconsin in autumn and then

BLAINE SETS A RECORD
Vetoes Thirty-two Senate and
Twenty-Five Assembly Bills
This Session.

Although the Wisconsin senate
was considered much more conser-
vative than the assembly in its
last session, 10 more senate bills
fell under vetoes by Gov. John j.
Blaine than met a similar fate
when originated in the lower
house. A total of 81 senate bills
died by this route while such a
fate met % assembly measures.
The veto power of the governor
demands probably more knowledge
of governmental functions than
any other duty of the chief exec
utive.
That the governor played no
favorites in the exercise of his
veto power which set a record in
the states history, is shown by a
survey of the veto tombstones.
Many of these were introduced by
close administration friends and
were bitterly fought through both
houses before they reached the ex-
ecutive office.
Besides those bills which the
governor considered as serving no
purpose, others would have meant
an outlay of several hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Others were
looked upon by Blaine as bringing
hardships to some class of people
in attempting to- correct some evil.
Two important bills that the
governor killed he was familiar
with from the session before when
he had vetoed similar measures.
One of these was for the purpose
of Northern Lakes park and the
other to permit interest charges
of AZ percent a year on short loans
up to $500.
Among the other vetoes were:--
Bill permitting wives to make
separate income tax returns.
Appropriation of $3.50 to Assem-
blyman James Peterson.
Taking away restriction on price
of school books to individuals.
Bill for a state survey of mental
detectives.
S145,O0O for state aid to blind,
deaf and defective speech day
schools.
Two year college courses in high
schools.
Auto light testing stations.
Raising of tuition fees for nom
resident pupils.
A $40 license fee for all temper
airy street stands.
A bill telling inspectors how to
count ballots.
Provision for transfer of land to
Simmins Co., Kenosha.
Forcing physicians to testify in
personal injury cases.
Raising compensation insurance
appropriation for tax commission.
Prohibiting high school children
from forming secret societies.
Home rule is again expected
to be heard at the next legislative
session with the support of Gov.
Blaine.
A bill by Assemblyman Price
giving counties the power to
abolish offices not provided by the
constitution or special state act
Gov. Blaine has intimated that
was a victory in this direction but
this law does not go far enough
and an effort will be made at the
next session to give greater power
to cities and counties.

"RarnYard Golf" Experts

Leading "barnyard golfers" OF
Wisconsin will compete in the
horseshoe pitching tournament at
the Wisconsin State Fair, Milwau-
kee, August 9th to September 1st'
The tournament is to be one of
the classic events on the pitching
schedule of Wisconsin players. The
revival of horseshoe pitching
throughout the country has been
one of the outstanding features in
the world of sport. No other sport
is as democratic as "barnyard golf" "
There are many reasons for It's
popularity. Young and old meet
on even terms, any small plot of
ground serves as a court, and shoes
can be dug up in almost any old
barn.
Tournament officials are prepar-
ing to accommodate a small army
of players.
Horseshoe pitchers are conceded
to be a fine type of sportsmen.
They play the game for the sport
they get out of it, rather than for
prize money or trophies. However,
the fair management feels that
winning players in the tournament
are as much entitled to prizes as
persons competing in other depart
ments, and has set aside generous
prize money.
The courts at the fair are to be
put in the best of condition. They
will be made ready in time to per-
NIT pitchers to practice on them
before the tournament opens.

Raymond Guyer widely known mi

Silver Mining company, the property
of which is situated on Denver gulch,
quarter of a mile from the Pine

last Monday when the proposition to
change the name of the company to

pany and to increase the capital stock
