AND WOODCHUCKS
County Board Votes to Paw a Bounty
of Twenty-Five Cents on Rats
and Same on Woodchucks.

In voting to pay bounty on rats
and woodchueks the county board of
supervisors Monday provided the
opportunity for kids to make spend
ing money.
A bounty of 25 cents will be
paid on rats and the same on wood
chucks. Ways and means for pay
ing the bounty have not yet been
devised, but it is expected that the
duties in connection Herewith will
be taken care of by the township
clerks or the chairmen in the out
lying districts.
Preceding the vote on the bounty
matter there was considerable dis
cussion regarding the nuisance
created by rats and woodchucks.
The general opinion was that these
animals are increasing in numbers
rapidly throughout the county, and
that means to reduce their numbers
if not entirely exterminate them is
timely.
Other business transacted at Mon
days meeting included the accept
ance of invitations from the board of
trustees of Pureair sanatarium to
attend picnic to be held on Sun
day, July Is, in a grove near the
sanatarium at Bayfield,. Members
of the board of supervisors and their
families have been invited All
those attending will be expected TO
bring basket lunches
1t was voted to have drawn up an
ordinance to regulate dance halls and
amusement places in the county.
The ordinance will be read at the
next meeting of the board on July z.

Needle Travels From His Hip To
Ankle.

John Hessing, well known farmer
of this community, has just passed
through a rather novel, and extreme
ly rare, experience. About two
months ago as he sat in chair he
felt something sharp stick into him
near the right hip He looked for
the intruder but could find nothing.
Ever since then, whenever he sat
down he would have sharp pains in
the hip and on down the leg as far
as the ankle and presumed it was
rheumatism. Wednesday he was
convinced that something else be
sides rheumatism was bothering him
so he called on Dr. Pickett. Upon
examination the doctor found a
large needle, about two and half
inches long. between the muscles Of
the leg a short distance above the
ankle, and an opening was made and
the needle removed intact. 1t had
worked its way down through the
leg, stub end first, and had been the
cause Of Mr.. Hessing's rheumatism "
the past two months.-Bayfield

spend two and one-half hours a
week in physical education.

bill introduced by the senate com
mittee on education and public
welfare which makes this provision
for all public schools above kinder
garten.
Recesses are not counted as a
part of the required two and one
half hours, no matter how hard the
kids may play %
The new law also provides that
the superintendent of public in
struction shall appoint a member
of his staff to have supervision over
the physical education work of the
schools.
All schools giving courses in the
training of teachers for public
schools must give courses in play
ground exercises and games, it is
provided
physical education" is defined
by the law as obstruction in the art
of practicing physical exercises and
hygiene"

does not include medical supervision,
one provision makes clear.

at times. Haven't you found it so?
