COUNT TOURISTS TOMORROW

Considering this the peak of the
tourist season, the Wisconsin High
way Commission has :rraLged to
make a count of all the tourists in
the state tomorrow.
Garages boards of commerce, re-
sorts, hotels and other -gencie- are
provided with special blanks for this
purpose. These blanks provide
spaces for recording the license num-
bers and rame of states from which
tourists cars come, and these records
will be sent to Madison to be tabu-
lated. Wisconsin cars will not be
counted.
The information thus received will
be used to aid in making calculations
for handling the highway and traf-
ic situation in Wisconsin.
The Commission maintains reg
ular traffic court at different poin,
throughout the season, but tomor-
rows tourist count will be the first
of its kind ever attempted by any
state.

A TWO-FACED PIG

Calm yourself; we're not getting
personal" regarding anyone-iust
stating an unusual fact concerning a
little porker who was actually borrl
that way instead of acquiring the
habit in later life.
Frank johnson last Friday after
noon brought to town a two-day-old
freak from the litter of one of his
sows, a little pig with two faces,
each complete in every detail except
in the matter of eyes. There was
one serviceable eye on each face, ard
an embryo eye in the center of the
forehead between the faces. The
two shouts and mouths were per-
fectly formed. From the ears back
the body was normal.
The little fellow was very much
alive, and Frank said it would eat
with either mouth.

Bill HawIey
Out West Likes
Badger State Best

The following is another letter
from VIM. Hawlcy, of Baldwin,
former River Falls high school
teacher, now motoring through the
West. The letter is copied from
The Baldwin Bulletin
We have at last reached the much
talked of city of Seattle, Wash. ard
expect to turn the old Ford's nose
south towards San Francisco in few
days.
My last letter was written just
after our arrival in Glacier Park. We
spent July 5, g.. and Z in the Park,
very beautiful Park, a different kind
of a park from that of Yellowstone.
1t is a place of high mountains,
beautiful valleys and streams and
lakes. The mountains with their
wonderful coloring are very beauti-
full, all of which are snow capped.
The grades are very steep and long
and it was necessary to have new
brake bands put IL at Glacier. The
garage we stopped at was owned by
Mr.. Barr. Mns. Barr is former
Baldwin resident and we had a very
Interesting talk and also received
some help which is not given to
strangers. We also met Mr.. and
Mrs. Hans Thorson who are running
a store at Babb, a cross-road on the
road to Canada. They surely treated
us in the real western style, offering
US a fine lunch which campers never
refuse. While there some men
came in from a fishing trip; they had
over a dozen rainbow trout each
weighing over two pounds. | ne
marked what fine catch and they in
formed me that the day before two
of them caught sixty-fve trout. Mr..
Thronson said, "the kind of fish you
catch in Balsam Lake we use for
bait out here" and l almost believed
him.
The most beautiful sight in the en-
tire park is Lake McDermott, a small
lake located down irl the mountains
which is very rich blue color. A
wonderful lake hotel overlooks it and
it is a popular spot for all tourists.
Glacier Park is not as old as Yellow
stone and many of the scenic spots
are not visible by motor travel. You
must either walk or go by horse
back over the mountains to see the
many glaciers and lakes.
From Glacier July 8, it was recess
sary for us to ship our car over the
Rocky Mountains to Bitton on the
western side of the rockies there be-
ing no roads across this pass. So
Sunday evening we spent our first
right in real bed and to tell the
truth did not sleep as well as we do
in our own little tent.

MUST TRUST TO LUCK
FOR NORMAL SCHOOL FUNDS

The nine members of the Milwau-
kee Normal school faculty who had
been released by order of the Normal
school board of regents the fist of
the month, were reinstated through
the passage of resolution at the
meeting of the board last Wednesday,
Members of the board explained
that their first action was the result
of a misunderstanding of the finan-
eia} status of the schools after the
legislature had failed to provide a
budget for the next two years.
In discussing the financial situa-
ton Regent P. w. Kramer of this
city, president of the board, said:
"There are two courses open to the
regents. The available appropria-
ton of $1,3OO,O00 leaves a shortage
estimated at $10S8,000.
"One course is to cut and pare and
dismiss teachers and seriously cripple
the schools, in order to stay within
the continuing appropriation of
$1,300;000," he said. "The other is
to run the schools as they should be

people of the state ard then, when
the money is exhausted to close them
down ard see what will happen.
believe that the people want the
schools run properly and that the
course to pursue is to run them that
way and when the money is exhaus-
ted to announce that fact. Then the
schools can either be closed or the
money found with which to operate
them"
The board agreed upon a general
financial policy to operate the schools
within the s1,3OO,OOO provided by the
continuing appropriation, to stop al
