TOTAL ECLIPSE OF SUN
Visible in Villas County in
1925 Says Noted Astron-
omer In Journal

Amateur astronomers, except
those who had lots of time and
money, could not visit the Catalina
islands to observe the total eclipse
of the sun in September, and it
was a good thing they couldn't be-
cause clouds eclipsed the eclipse.
Prof. Joel Stebbins, director of
Washburn observatory, provides
comfort by pointing out that the
next eclipse important enough to
attract worldwide observation by
scientists will follow a path of
totality through part of Wiscon-
sin. This eclipse is not far off
it will occur January "a, 1925.
All Wisconsin territory north of
a straight line, drawn from Egg
Harbor, Door county, to Superior,
will be in the pathway of total
eclipse This. line will run through
or adjacent to Marinette, Crandon,
Eagle River, Tomahawk lake, Lac
du Flambeau and Glidden. The
territory lying north of this line
embraces portions Of Door, Mar
inette, Florence, Forest, Villas,
Iron, Ashland, Bayfield, and Doug
las counties. The eclipse will be
total in the northern peninsula Of
Michigan.
But the observer will have to
get up early. The sun will rise
almost totally obscured- only a
thin crescent will be visible.
Darkness will fall almost immed-
lately because the disk of the
moon will come completely be-
tween the sun and the earth just
after sunrise. The period of to-
tai eclipse will be only about one
minute after which the sun will
emerge from behind the disk of
the moon, and in about an hour
the interposition of the moon will
come to an end.
Those who neglect the eclipse
of 1925 won't have another chance
soon because the sun will rot
again be totally obscured in the
United States until Aug. Il, 2014,
except in a part of Florida, where
a total eclipse may be seen in
1970.-Milwaukee Journal.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Inasmuch as a majority of the
Eagle River fans were at the
game Friday night very little will
have to be said about the two
games with Laona. The boys won
from their opponents easily and
the girls lost just as easy. Neither
teams worked very hard. Friday
night our boys will go to- Rhine
lander and it is expected to be a
close battle.
The lighting fixtures are being
installed this week and will be
completed for the carnival which
will be held at the opening of
school next week.
The big secret" will be revealed
next week. Watch this column.
The H-2-O Club entertained the
first team at skating party and
weiner and marshmallow roast on
Meta Lake Sunday afternoon. A
weiner roast on December 9th is
certainly a novelty in this region
but no complaints of the cold
were made and everyone certainly
had good time.
For a few months we were up in
in the air,
But now we've both feet on the
ground
We're eager to show you around.
So welcome We grownups, We hus-
bands and wives
Permit us to show you the time
of your lives,
At a Carnival to be given in the
High School building Dec. 10Th.
Improve Your English.
If a scholar in high school
Uses seen" for see,
Or says done when do" is proper
Punished she should be.
Every word has it's right usage;
Those who use words wrong
Through ignorance or carlessness
In high school don't belong.
Don't use "don't" instead of
doesn't"
ME" instead of 81"
Keep your "shalls" and wills"
untanglefl;
You can, if you try.
With your adjectives be sparing
And your adverbs, too.
Choose them wisely; you'll discover
That few will do.
Be quite sure a thing is awful"
Ere you use the word,
Starting out with say or listen"
Really is absurd.
"Tll say so" is senseless chatter
So is that's a peach;
Let's drive all slang expressions
From our daily speech.
If each scholar speaks pure English
When he goes to school;
Some fine day throughout the
nation.
1t will be the rule.

A SUBSTITUTE NEEDED

Doubtless many counties will
turn their convicts back to the
State, or let some other county
have them if some method of
punishment to replace the lash
is not provided. The County
Commissioners of Tiff and
Warden Neolsn reported to the
Grand Jury last week that they
had great difficulty in maintain
ing discipline and getting even a
moderate amount of work since
convicts no longer fear punish
ment-and corporal punishment
is about all the negro breads.
Crisp County Commissioners me
moralize their senator and Rep
resentative to have the lash re-
stored, reporting the same trou-
Bile Colquitt's Warden reports
the same difficulty, but that
county has taken over the Atkin-
son convicts and is negotiating
for those from Echols. While
small numbers is the reason Civ
en- for this change, no doubt diff
ficulty in enforcing discipline
was a contributing factor to the
surrender of the convicts. 1t is
understood that the prohibition
of the lash is constitutional
provision, and if this be the case,
Constitutional amendment
would be necessary for its
restoration, and it would be diff
cult to secure this. But a substi-
tute should be found.-Tifton
Gazette.

BUILDING CASTLES
IN THE AIR.

July, one of the --LATEST.
months of the year, is a great
time for air castles.
Getting down to cold hard
facts, the most important angle
of this day-dreaming is that,
while the lad explores his castles
in the air, his immediate job
wedding waits.
In a sense, this is allcgorical. 1t
portrays something characteristic
of all 0 fus, something that
haunts US through life and peri
odically semi-chloroform5 US into
stagnation.
The lad, day-dreaming, has
himself hypnotizcd.
So have the rest Of US, most
of the time we day-dream.
1t is all quite fine, to vision
glorious castles in the air. Such
is necessary part Of ambition
And, no doubt, our air castles
inspire us to redoubled effort
when we come out of our trance.
But many Of US waste SO much
time day-dreaming that we have
little left for actual accomplish
ment.
We can dream so much
We can dream so much of bet
ter job that we neglect tie pres
ent or immediate job-and there
by delay our progress to the bet
ter job. While watching and
envying the man above us on
the next rung of the success lad
der, let us not forget the new
conner on the rung below US who
is after the job we hold now.
This is a hard, material world
severely jolting to the person
who day-dreams to excess. There
is such a thing as too much am
bition-too many air castles.

Exactly what is wrong with you.
I've done my best to make you see
The faults of yours which trouble me.
I've sought to guide you as a friend
And show you how you might amend
Your way of life, and, as it were,
Become a Noble Character!
But are you properly imbued
With humblcness and gratitude,
For all the good advice you got?
Well, speaking frankly, you are not.
At various times, as ! recall,
You've counselsd me to hire hail." -
And even told me l could go
To hotter spots than Borneo
Is such an attitude quite kind
To one who has your good in mind?
What's that? You have a moral plan

You'd better mind your own affairs.
