Best PIT Meeting

A very large crowd attended the
meeting of the Parent-Teachers Assoc
iation at the school house Monday
night and had the pleasure of listen
ing to an excellent musical program
given by a fifteen piece orchestra
made up of the Eagle River Dance
Orchestra and the High School orches
ira both Of which are under the dir
ection of Caspar Walstad The com
bination led by five violins was a
strong one and they furnished an
entertainment well worth hearing.
At the close of the concert, DIR John
Lloyd gave an address bearing on the
home, parents, children and the
schools and teachers and forcefully
reminded all present of the co-opera=
ton that must exist in the different
influences that surround the lives Of
young and growing children in order
that their development may be of the
highest and most useful type. Alto,
gether it was one of the best meetings
of the kind that has been held since
the association was organized and al
though the close of the school year
is now near at hand, there is no doubt
but that with the amount of interest
being shown that the next year meet
ings of the Parent-Teachers Associa.
ton will be productive of much good
and worth the while of everyone to
assist as far as possible.

FIXING DATE OF EASTER

For the first time since 1888, Eas
ter Sunday was observed in Christian
countries throughout the world on
April 1. A twist of the calendar left
a gap of thirty-five years since that
coincidence occurred last, while the
same thing is to happen again in ele-
ven more years.
Fixing the date for Easter Sun
day is determined by the rule that
Easter shall be the first Sunday at
ter the Paschal full moon. Easter,
therefore, cannot be earlier in the
year than March %, as it must be
on the first Sunday having full
moon after March 81 Likewise, Eas-
ter Sunday cannot come later in the
year than April 25. Next years Eas-
ter will be observed April 20, while
only two years ago Easter came as
early as March 81.
Christian nations observe the Gay
which is one of the oldest on the
Christian calendar, as commemora-
tive of the resurrection of Jesus
Christ Elaborate religious ceremonies
mark Easter Sunday in some coun-
tries, while in others it is observed
with special services in all churches.

Villas County Farmers
Buy Much Picric Acid
COUNTY AGENT BUSY DISTRIBUTE
ING PIcRIc ACID SAYS FARM
Frs ARE UP AND DOING

County Agent Gibson was busy last
week distributing car of 10000 lbs.
of Picric Acid explosive to farmers
who had placed orders for it. He ex-
poets to place another two carloads
before the end of the season, more,
in fact, than was used last year when
more acres of Villas county soil were
cleared and made ready for the plow
than ever before. 1t shows that Villas
is one of the Wisconsin counties
which are taking advantage Of the OPP
portunity to secure stump exterminat-
ing materials at a much lower price
than it can be obtained elsewhere.
Wisconsin has so far this year applied
for 100000 lbs. and thereare several
counties not yet heard from in regard
to the amount wanted for their use.
At last accounts there was 100000
pounds in store in government ware
houses and if other states make use
Of the opportunity to the extent that
Wisconsin has, it will soon be placed.
Mr.. Gibson states that the total of ex-
plosive material suitable for use in
stumping land, in addition to the Pic
ric Acid on hand is 10000 pounds of
Sodium Nitrate of which formula
has been developed that will make it
a very valuable aid in land clearing.
Of Smokeless Powder there 4S,000,00O
pounds available to those who wish it
and there is still left 100000 pounds
of T. N. T.
In a government bulletin on the sub
iect published last week it was shown
that Wisconsin had made application
for more explosive than either of its
neighboring states Michigan and Min
nesota, and shows that Wisconsin
farmers on cut over lands are awake
to their interests and Villas county is
right up in front with the rest and if
the same course is followed for few
years a remarkable change will be
seen in the area of titled lands. 1t
cannot be too great as far as increas-
ing general prosperity goes.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH

Last Sunday morning the Rector

preached on the subject announced.

Admired Mathematical Accuracy.

The ancient Egyptians had several
markedly distinct intellectual and men
tai characteristics, the first and most
unusual Of which seems to have been
a love of mechanical accuracy that
amounted to a passion. Combined with
their natural mechanical aptitude. this
passion resulted In some of the most
highly skilled work the world has ever
seen. To cite but a few examples. In
the Egyptian tombs the granite work
was polished by hand to such an accu-
racy that its average deviation from
perfect smoothness has been found TO
be 1-7.0O0th of an inch.-New York

Friends From the East

Three days after her return to the
ranch Madeline could not discover any
physical discomfort as n reminder OF
her adventurous experiences. IL 1t had
no; been fer the quiet and persistent
guardianship Of her cowboys she might
almost have forgotten Don Carlos End
the raiders. Madeline was assured Of
the splendid physical fitness to which
this ranch life had developed her. and
that she was assImilating something
of the Western disregard OF danger.
A hard ride, an accident. a day In the
sun and dust, an adventure with out
laws-these might once have been
matters OF large import, but now for
Madeline they were IN order wIih all
the rest of her changed life.
There was never a day THAI some
thing interesting was not brought TO
her notice. Sillwell, who had cease
lessly reproached himself for riding
away the morning Madeline was cap
tured, grew more like an anxious par
ent than q faithful superintendent. He
was never at ease regarding her unless
he was near the ranch or had left
Stewart there, or else Nels and Nick
Steele. Naturally. he trusted more to
Stewart than TO any n else.

tleman, as he tramped into Madeline's
office.

Padre Marcos is gone. What do you

laughed Madeline. LET him take his

out to visit me. They are society folk,
and one OF them is an English lord.
Let me read you a few extracts from
my mail"
Madeline took up her sisters letter
with a strange sensation Of how cas-
lily sight OF a crested monogram and
scent OF delicately perfumed paper
could recall the brilliant life she had
given up. She scanned the pages OF
beautiful handwriting. Helen seldom
wrote letters, and she never read any

BILE. She received the papers from
Stewart and thanked him. He bowed,
then lea the black down the path to-
ward the corrals.
Madeline watched the weary horse
and rider limp down the path. What
had made her thoughtful? Mostly 1t was
something new or sudden or inexplic-
able that stirred her mind to quick
analysis. In this instance the thing
tina had struck Madeline was Stew
arts glance. He had looked at her,
and the old burning. inserutable fire.
the darkness, had left his eyes. Sud
denly they had been beautiful. The
look had not been one Of surprise or
admiration nor had II been one of
love. She was familiar. too familiar
with all three. 1t had not been a gaze
Of passion, for there was nothing
beautiful In that. Madeline pondered.
And presently she realized that Stew
arts eyes had expressed a strange JOY
Of pride. That expression Madeline
had never before encountered In the
look OF any man. Probably its strange
ness had made her notice 1t and &C
counted for her blushlng. The longer
she lived among these outdoor men
the more they surprised her. Particu-
larry, how lncomprehensible was this
cowboy Stewart Why should he have
pride or Joy Mt sight OF her?
The approaching automobile was on
the slope now, some miles down the
long gradual slant. Its velocity was
astounding. Long. gray wells, like pen
nants, streamed In the wind. A low
rushing sound became perceptible, n
IL grew louder, became a roar. The
car shot like an arrow past the alfalfa
field. by the bunk-houses. where the
cowboys waved and cheered. The
horses and burros In the corrals began
to snort and tramp and race in fright.
At the base of the long slope of the
foothlll Link cut the speed more tina
half. Yet the car roared up. rolling
the dust, flying capes and wells and ul-
sters and crashed and cracked to a
halt In the yard before the porch.
