Wise ONSIN CATTLE POPULAR

Wisconsin is building a year-round
trade for dairy cattle. While records
show that monthly sales are larger
during April, May and June in the
spring, and September, October and
November in the fall, there is a con-
tinuing call for cattle free from
disease and of high production.
In midsummer and during the holi
day season a dropping off in ship
ments is noted. In spite of rather ex-
tremme cold weather during the
month of January, which handicap
ped somewhat the assembling and

ments went out.

HOW STOCKS co DOWN

Calumet and Hecla mining stock
was once worth $1,000 per share, one
acquainted with these valuations state
and the same paper is now worth but
$14 per share The copper ore grew
less and less in the mine and now
there is apparently but little lett.
The stock was sold largely to people
of average means and they should
have soi9 when it Y as al the peak.
Instead they saw it sliding Gown hill
but they did not, instead they went
down and down until they are mean
the bottom The ore is gone ana
there is no hope of the stock ever
seeing fancy figures again. People of
small means should beware of oil or
mining stock, because the source OF
supply is sure to fail, sooner or Ia
ter. IL cannot pc otnerWlse. STOCKS
in great industrial corporations are
different but these should be pur
hased by the unsophisticated only
after advice from persons who know
valuations in this field The right
kind of bonds are better.

AN OUTRAGE AGAINST THE
CROW

A powder company in the east is
trying to stimulate the shooting of
the crow, claiming there are two
million crows in the country and
that each bird destroys during a year
property worth a dollar, total OF
$4,000 1000. A circular sent out by the
powder company states the crow de-
stroys birds eggs, the young Of other
birds, little rabbits, that they pull up
corn, carry disease and do other OBJ
jectionable things.
The character of the crow is not
all black. Bulletin 621, issued by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, states that the stomachs OF
1910 adult crows and IT'S nestlings
brought the following conclusion:
The attitude of the individual
farmer toward the crow should
be one of federation where no
serious losses are suffered, rather
than one of uncompromising an
tagonism resulting in the I'M
warranted destruction of these
birds, which are at times most
valuable to man.
1t should be remembered that most
birds, including the crow, devour in,
sect life and without birds contin-
ually eating insects this earth would
mot be inhabitable by man. The crow
does his share to keep down pests
which might ruin all vegetable life.
Give the crow chances he fills a
niche in the economy of things. With
out war it. looks as if the powder
company was seeking an outlet for
the explosive.
Besides the above argument, it is
all wrong to turn the world into the
woods and fields armed with guns, it
simply means thousands of other
birds will be killed. Speak a good
word for the crow.

BUTTER 'NEGGS

In some sections of the country the
family on the farm is kept going from
the sale of butter and eggs. Neither
hogs, nor cattle, nor corn, nor wheat
have much margin so the churn and
chickens come to the rescue. Taxes,
and other major expenses eat up
about all the profit from the larger
products and the life saver must come
from another source. The chickenA
have the run of the place and the
cost Of keeping them is precious
little in comparison with the return.
Besides, eggs are capital food. They
contain about everything in the way
of nourishment that is required by
the body. A man once marveleL
that a chicken could get out of an
segg and his companions at once add
ed that greater mystery was how
the bird got inside the shell. The
secret is that the egg contained all
that is required to produce the bird
bones, muscle, brain and all. Above
all things consider butter'neggs.

LAST OF A GENERATION

Thirty years ago visitors at Devils

takes the last of this interesting

when guests came they expected to

people come and go like shadows,
usually remaining at the lake but
a short time unless they have the use
of a cottage. In those days a land
lord and landIady had an opportun-
ity to become acquainted with guests
and they often became real friends.
Mr.. Hopkins had had an interesting
life before he became a landlord. He
had studied law, tried insurance, and
was with a manufacturing concern.
His real adventures, however, were in
the Civil war and in the quest for
gold, both in Arizona and the Black
Hills.
He was of good eastern stock, and
this he manifested IN all his dealings
with his fellow men. Friendships at

MEETEETSE SCHOOLS
OPEN 18th YEAR

The seth annual opening of the
day, September Sth, with IS pupils
enrolled. Superintendent Dere states
that this figure will be greatly in
creased in the neal future. Many
families are still out of town, but
are expected to move into town and
enroll their children soon. Some
who have planned to take high
school work are still busy with
their summer work, which will de-
lay their enrolment for a short
time.
A very pleasing feature of the
enrolment is that all the classes
have about 80 students, making tn.
classes of ideal size for efficient
work and giving the teachers and
opportunity to give individual at
tention to all the students who need
it.
Prof. Dere. the principal. come
from Boise, Idaho. He has had a
long and successful career as a
teacher and we look for a YER sue
cessful year under his management.
Miss Eileen Redman, who will dt-
rect the efforts of the pupils in the
9th, 10th and 18th grades. is from
Starkweather, N. D.. She was trained
in normal work at the University
of North Dakota, and has had sew
eral years experience in teaching.
Miss Larson of Bishee, N. Oak,
has charge of the 18th and Sth
grades, and comes to Meeteetse with
two years of professional experience.
Miss Schultz. another experienced
teacher, has been put in charge Of
the 5th and 9Th grade work. She
has beer a student at the University
of Wyoming and has taught several
successful terms in Minnesota and
Wyoming.
Miss Vera Stanley. who has the
3rd and 4th grades, is the only
member of the teaching force who
has had previous experience in the
Meeteetse school. She taught The
same grades here last year. Her
unemployment speaks for itself.
Mrs. Dere. who has charge o.
the list and End grades, is a teacher
with a successful record in these
grades, especially in the LIST grade
and kindergarten work.
