PREPARING CHILDREN FOR
LEISURE,

At one of the joint sectional meet
ings of the educators convention in
Chicago a subject of growing impor-
lance, which until lately has been ac-
corded little consideration, was dis,
cussed intelligently and fruitfully.
That subject was the preparation of
school children for leisure. The en-
phasis usually is on education for
for industry, for active
tlife" No fault can be found with
that. but it is now realized by thought
full men and women that the proper
utilization of leisure time is not a
matter that can be left to take care
of itself.
'sMany of our social and economic
ILL.," said John K. Norton, director of
the research division of the National
Education association, tare the result
of failure of the school of a former
generation to train for the wise use OF
leisure" This may be an oyerstate-
ment, but there is much truth il it.
Two or three good books have been
written on the moral and social eff
fects of the increasing substitution of
machinery for human labor and the
constant shortening of the workday.
Millions of men have more leisure

PORTAGE men
IN ACCIDENT

Two very wet and chilled men found
sympathy and hot meal when they
arriven at their respective homes
Monday evening after running off into
a ditch about five miles from Portage
on the Baraboo road.
The accident occurred to Ed Miller
of Portage with Emil Neumann as
passenger. After a>time Perry STROUD
and Jay Cook on their return from
Baraboo came up and tried to pull the
Miller car out of the ditch by means
of a rope. In going around the car.
Mr.. Stroud went waist deep into 4
snow bank.
While Stroud and Cook returned to-
Portage to get the help of the Dodge
garage derrick, the other two victims
had to stand for more than an hour
in the snow, as the danger of the car
tipping over forbade their entering it
while waiting for help.
The Portage Register
uses the above incident to illustrate
the need of open roads for winter
traffic.

CRIME. HAS DECREASED

The number of persons committed
to Sing Sing in 1923 was 40 per cent
less than in 1922. The New York Tri-
hume quotes from the annual report
of Warden Louis e. Lawes. OF the 891
convicted criminals received this
year, only $50 were first offenders, all
others having previous prison records.
of the first term convicts SO are less
than 81 years of age.

than ever before in the history Of
civilization. What do they do with
it? Have they been fitted by the
school, the home and the general at
mosphere of society for the rational
enjoyment of leisure, the best use
of holidays, half holidays and longel
evenings at home?
Whatever the answer may be, the
school today cannot afford to neglect
the question. It must teach the young
to appreciate good reading, to take
an interest in civic, scientific ana
artistic problems, to cultivate a love
of natural beauty, to seek wholesome
exercise, walk and take ones soul
along in Walt Whitmans words
Boredom in many cases leads to bad
habits. The Unsuitable craving for
excitement and the inability to spend
quiet hours at home are due largely
to defective education.
The school should not devote too
much time to superficial and orna-
mental studies, but there is nothing
ornamental in the proposed training
for the proper use of leisure. 1t is
indeed, to be classed with the funda-
mentals.-Chicago Daily News.

SotDing Wood
In DeltOn

L. F. Lange, town Of Delton, has
wood-sawing machine but the snow
has been so deep this winter it has
been practically impossible to haul
the property from farm to farm for
the purpose of reducing trees to stove
lengths of wood The neighbors have
encouraged him, however, to operate
the saw once a week and on that day
they take their wood to the saw,
just the same as taking grist to
mill. Once each week several teams
may be seen going to the Tango
farm with loads of long timber to be
cut in short lengths This has been
a source Of profit to LANCE and a
great accommodation to those re-
siding near. When Thoreau, the
Concord philosopher, author, and Or
server, resided in hut on the bank
o. Walden pond, he cut his own
fuel. He declared this process made
hlm twice warm, once when he cut
the wood and once when he burned it
in his hut. Evidently the Delton
residents only get one warming out
of the wood, when they burn it in
their furnaces and stoves. They miss
a fine chance, however, to get two
warnings.

DEATH SUMMONS
OLD RESIDENT
OF GREENFIELD

Louis Helm, a pioneer of the town
of Greenfield, passed away on Sun
day at 1870 o'clock. He had been
in falling health for some weeks
and heart disease was the cause Of
his demise. His daughter. Mrs. W.
r. Schultz, and her son, Roderick,
were with him when the end came.
Mr.. Helm was in Baraboo early last
week but later in the week became
more feeble, dying on Sunday morn
ing.
Mr. Helm was a son Of Anton and
Anna Helm and was born June 20,
1910, in the village of Scharzenbach,
near Munich, Bavaria, Germany. In
1847, the family came to America
and for about ten years resided at
Watertown, Wisconsin
His Oldest sister married Ignace
Steinmitz and Mr. and Mrs. Stein
mitz came to Baraboo to operate the
Wisconsin house. Later they moved
to the town of Greenfield. When Mr.
Helm was about seventeen years old
he came to Baraboo and often told Of
the journey from Mer1'imack oyer
the Baraboo bluffs in a stagecoach
drawn by four horses.
His father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. Anton Helm, came to Baraboo
soon after and took up land in the
town of Greenfield and which has
long been known as the Helm home
stead.
When he was 2S he was married
to Emmergene Palmer, a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Palmer, whose
home was where Mr.. and Mrs. L. H
Palmer resided so many years and
which is now known as the River
Dale farm The Talmers were also
pioneers and came from New Eng
land in an early day. Mrs. Helm died
fifteen years ago.
A Rare Farm
Part of the large Helm farm was
once portion of the Palmer farm
and other additions have also been
made. 1t lies on the bank of the
BarabOO river, has a fine brook, beau
tiful woods, and a rare prospect.
There are delightful hills, broad
meadows, and all in all is one of the
finest rural places in all the region.
Here Mr. Helm has produced fine
stock, especially horses. There was
no better judge of horse than he.
At the fairs his opinion as to an
animal was seldom if ever question
ed. Almost to his dying day he rode
in buggy drawn by horse and
both the driver and animal will be
missed on the highways in Greenfield
and Baraboo.
Besides the daughter previously
mentioned, he leaves one son. Louis
P. Helm, Detroit, Michigan. The
grandchildren are Roderick Schultz
Baraboo; Mrs. Judith Schultz Mac
Intyre, Washington, D. c.; Miss Step
hanie Schultz, Cambridge, Mass.
William Kenyon Schultz, Baraboo;
and Emmergene Helm, Detroit.
Mr.. Helm also leaves a sister, Mrs.
Anna Reichert, who has made her
home with him for several years. She
also was with him at the time Of his
death.

1t Will be recalled that some days
ago Philip Hornung. son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Otto Hornung, was rewarded
by the Sank County Humane society
for getting some boards, placing them
on the ice, crawling out upon them
and pulling dog out of the river
where he had gone through weak
place while crossing the stream.
This is not the first time the youth
has been rewarded by the society. In
an essay contest he drew prize and
in like effort his sister Catherine,
also was rewarded. This makes
three prizes of humane effort to this
family. q

Speaking OF the burning of the
Sarrington mill at DeIton, Clerk Of
Court Frank B. Moss says that his
father happened to be at the right
place at the right moment to save
a mill at Lodi. He went to the third
floor of the building at night and
while standing watching a rapidly re-
volving shaft saw flames burst forth
from the machinery. The box was
hot and was ready to set the mill on
fire. He did not have time to go
below and turn off the water so he
threw off the belt and no doubt saw
ed the mill in that way. 1t is thought
the fire at DeIton was caused by a
hot box.
In going to Madison just after pass
ing Okee, the remains of a dam will
be noticed on the east side of the
railroad track There stood an early
mill and the clerk of courts father
was the miller at one time.

HYPNOTIC INFLUENCE
MAKES YOUTH BLIND

POTSDAM, April 23-Dr. Achilles,
doctor of philosophy of Stettin, has
been arrested on a charge of keeping
a young man under hypnotic influence
for a long period with the result that
he was temporarily blinded. The case
became known through a strange COM
bination of circumstances. On January
13 of last year, Herr Grundwaldt, a To-
cal clergyman, was impressed by the
unusual appearance of the blinded
youth, who sat near the pulpit during
service.
The clergyman after the service in
vited the young man and the woman
who accompanied him in his study.
The young man spoke in very con-
fused manner about theosophy and
philosophical subjects. His eyes i'm
pressed the clergyman as being CLASSY,
rather than blinded and his eyeballs
moved in a nervous manner when the
clergyman gazed at him in a fixed
manner. Herr Grunwaldt knows some
thing of hypnotism and Immediately
suspected that the youth was under
hypnotic influence.
While the young man was in the
clergyman's study DR.. Achilles tele-
phoned and stated he was on the way
to get his patient. The boy broke down
and cried when he heard this news,
but accompanied DR.. Achilles. When
Herr Grunwaldt communicated his
suspicious to the boys parents who
had tried to diagnose their sons i'll
ness and finally removed him from the
care of DR.. Achilles, who at first re-
fused to let him go. The young man
has slowly recovered his sight.

trict, Milton-Freewater, suffered
severely, possibly SO per cent. In
Washington, damage to apples at
Wenatchee was spotted with De-
licious hurt more than any other
variety. Damage in Yakima valley
was rather widespread, resulting in
an apple crop possibly two-thirds of
last years. Walla Walla was hard
hit. Peaches and apricots appear to
be total loss, cherries and prunes a
very small yield, and apples less
than one-fourth of last year, with
Rome Beauties showing least loss.
