A. Warm THANKSGIVING.

With the sun shining brightly
and water running In the cutters,
Thanksgiving for this section of
Northern Wisconsin was truly a
day of brightness and of thanks
giving for the beauties of nature
and her smile. Not many Thanks
giving days pass with such en-
joyment as did that of last Thurs
day. 1t was a day of visitation
and autoing through the lake re-
gion, giving old friends and fam
lies a chance to spend a perfect
day in friendly feeling, added to no
doubt by a bounteous dinner of
turkey, wild fowl and venison.
Truly a country where one enjoys
all the emoluments allotted to the
man, woman or child who loves
all that is good and clean and
wholesome. 1t is to be imagined
that those friends of ours who
live farther south were undoubt-
edly sympathizing with US be-
nighted savages in this land of
SHOWS and gloomy days.

Hardness in High School.

The following letter will be
found in the report card envelopes
of those pupils who in the Judge.
ment of the teachers have been
absent or tardy too often during
the last six weeks to permit them
to do good work in school. We
hope that parents will examine
the reports thoroughly and try tc
cooperate more thoroughly with
the teachers in these matters. Our
attendance during the last six
weeks has been abominable, due
largely to- the laxity of some par
ents IN getting the pupils tc
school on time in the morning
improvements must be made be-
ginning with next week or harsh
er methods will have to be en-
ployed to secure a better attend
ance. It does not help matters
much to have a beautiful build
ing if we have and permit laxity
of attendance. Let's get together,
parents, and correct it. With your
help it should be a very simple
matter:
Dear Parents:-As the inclosed
report card indicates the pupil has
been absent or tardy too much
during the last six weeks to do
we'll in his work at school. Even
though we are willing to cooper
ate with the parents in the mat
ter of excusing pupils from school
for work at home, it happens too
frequently in some cases for the
good of the pupil and we urge
that parents do the best they can
in getting their children here ev-
cry single day.
We can see reasons once in a
while for absence on account of
work or sickness and we are will
ling to excuse this, but we can
see absolutely no reason for tar
diness and it surely is a very bad
habit to acquire; one which in
later years may lead to the failure
in life of the pupil.
Parents should take greater
interest in the school attendance
of their children; they should not
sign excuses promiscuously; they
should take a personal pride in the
fact that their boy or girl is in
school each and every day.
Sincerely,
E. w. Kracht, Principal.

Pinchot and Coal Prices.

Gov. PinchVt is a busy man these
days First he was busiiy engaged in
Il crusade for enforcement Of the ma
uonal prohibition law in his own state,
in which he achieved only partial sue

major burden upon the federal govern
ment, and was admonished by Presi-
dent Coolidge that the states must
bear their share
Now he comes with Il plan for rha-
tioral legislation to curb alleged prof
iteering in coal prices, having failed
in an effort to get the operators volun-
tarily to "clean their own house." He
has called q conference in Harrisburg

The recent order Of the Public Utili.

The Doom Mystery.

Despite official denials at Berlin Of
any invitation to the former kaiser to
return from Holland. feeling is e1-
pressed in London that there Is some
hing doing. Indeed, it would seem in.
credible that such specific reports as
hose that came from Holland Of
preparations at the castle OF Doom
Lor departure, and particularly that
passports had been received, could
rave been totally unfounded. For the
right of the former crown prince from
Holland into Germany, with every
"Vidence of acquiescence by the Ber-
in government and permission by the
Netherlands government, stands as
clear evidence OF a Willingness in
Germany for the Hohenzollerns to re-
turn. Had the flight OF the crown
prince not occurred the reports about
he ex-kaiser might we'll have been
discredited at the outset.
Suspicion OF Germany's purposes is
natural in view of the record Of the
last decade. Every move is properly
subject to question as to motive.
Every condition is to be logically
scrutiniZed for some ulterior design.
notwithstanding the failure Of the
jAapp putsch several years ago. and
the more recent failure Of the mon
Erchical movement in Bavaria-which
vas due chiefly to jealousy between
leaders-it may be- set down as prob
- -ai 10 ir,
many for the re-establishment Of some
form Of haisership. The German peo-
pie quite naturally desire Justification
in the eyes Of the world. at present
the tragedies of these past few years
are attributed TO their former form of
mental wrong. They have learned no
lesson. They are not contrite. That IS
plain at every turn OF the case.
In November, 1918, there was re-
vulsion Of feeling against the kaiser
because OF the collapse OF the war pro-
gram. Had. ne not fled into Holland
he doubtless would have been subject
ed 10 great indignities at the hands of
his own people. He would probably
nave been dethroned in person. But
time has healed the wounds to 4 great
extent, and in these five years OF exile
William has doubtless won a certain
sentiment OF sympathy in Germany.
Moreover. his new wife. it IS known,
has intrigued shrewdly and, according
. some reports from Doorn. It Is she
who has been most active in prolnot-
ing the return movement.
British government officials, it is re-
ported. declare that they are entirely
satisfied with the adequacy Of the az
surances given by Holland that VII
llam will not be allowed to leave
Dutch custody. But there il no sign
ii any precaution ut Doom 20 prevent

William, which was effected without
nc least difficulty and with no sign
OF disapproval by the government at

British Politics.

The interest OF the British people
turns now from international to dones-
tic politics. Parliament is to be dis
solved day after tomorrow after a very
brief session, and a general election
will be held on the 9th OF December.
British campaigns are brief but in
tens!ve. For little more than three
weeks England. Scotland and Wales
will be the scene Of sharp campaign
ing, first for ncminati tions. which will
close about the 26th with, it Is expect.
cd, 1850 candidates in the field con
testing for the 615 seats In the house
of commons. The chief issue will be
that of protection versus free trade.
As an opening gun in the fight
against the ministry comes the an
nounceInent of a reconciliation be-
tween Asquith and Lloyd George, eff
that were badly split at the last cleo
ton, which turned in 9 conservative
majority. Plainly these two leaders
have been nearing Il rapprochenleut
for some time. Their natural interests
draw them together. The announce
ment OF their reunion, coinciding as II
does with the statement OF the plan
for an election, shows that they have
concluded that there is no political
health in further separation. but on
the contrary there is possibility Of IL
return to power. In this campaign
the liberals will oppose the protection
policy Of the conservatives.
Premier Baldwin has been criticized
sharply for interfering the tariff ques-
ricR into British affairs. He did so as
{, means Of ulleviating the condition OF
the British workmcn and reducing the
number of the unemployed. His ex-
PLANTATION OF the decision to dissolve
parliament was that IL was in fulfill
Andrew Bonar Law that during the
life Of the present parliament there
would be no change In fiscal policy.
Therefore he appeals to the country to
obtain its sanction for protection.
II would seem that the reunited lib
erals Will be led by ASquith rather
than by Lloyd George. The former Is
the elder statesman OF the two, p-ece-
dent as premier and the old titular
head OF the liberal party. That Lloyd
George is willing to accept the lieu
tenancy in the liberal forces under As
quith's captaincy is indication that he
Is desirous to return to active political
life. His recent American tour may
be interpreted now as part Of his plan
to re-establisl his political prestige.

collapse.
A conference of leaders Of labor and
industrial enterprise was called by
President Harding. and after prolong-
ed consideration, II was found that
the stimulation OF credits, during the
war had overexpanded both agricul-
; ture and industry. The natural re-
: action had curtailed credits, and the
FARMERS faced ruined home markets
for their products. That brought fur

shrunken purchasing power of the
