PROTECT FROM BUSES
Governor Blaine Vetoed Bill
Which Would Have Saved
Highways.

An attempt was made at the last
session Of the legislature to have
law passed to enable the state to
secure control over the motor bus
traffic Of the state. The law was
drawn in such shape that, if it had
passed, the state would be able to
control this motor bus traffic over
its own highways. The State High
way Commission and the road men
of the state favored this bill, how
ever. the Socialists of Milwaukee
objected to it. These Socialists APP
parently free and untrammeled
travel over the highways of the
state by these huge motor buses.
With the aid Of Governor Blaine
they succeeded in forcing an
amendment upon the bill that put
a limit on the control of these mo-
tor BUSES by the State Highway
Commission. And the motor buses
are running wild in Wisconsin.
Hence the people see the result
of this heavy traffic over the high
WAYS. 1t is safe to predict that the
next legislature will handle this
problem in a different way. And
then Governor Blaine will not be in
the executive chair to interfere
with legislation that is greatly
needed to protect the travelling
public. Minnesota's Highway Com
mission absolutely controls the mo-
tor bus traffic in that state.
Our state Highway Commission
is endeavoring to solve the problem
as best it can in cooperation with
county highway committees. There
are many complaints about the OPP
Grafton of the motor buses over
cur highWays-at least twice as
many buses running in some parts
of the state as are necessary. Our
soft gravel highways are not made
e stand such terrific pounding by
heavy motor vehicles, which are
operated for private ain.-Chip-

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.


sssesssseessssseesosseosse
Last Thursday morning we had
an athletic assembly. Extemporan-
eous talks were given by both boy
and girl athletes. Friday morning
we had pep meeting, and by the
sound of the yelling there is a great
deal of pep and spirit in the school
this year.
The Literary program given Fri
day was exceptionally good. The
Pale Face" a tragedy in one act,
proved to be surprise in the form
of minstrel show given by the
sophomore girls.
The basket ball game with Phelps
Friday night resulted in victories
for both the Eagle River boys and
girls teams. The score of the boys
game was 10 to 6 in favor of Eagle
River, and the score of the girls
game was A to s in favor of Eagle
River.
Mrs. Doersclag and Mrs. Nagel
visited school Friday afternoon.
Leo Bent withdrew from school
this week because his parents are
leaving for Oconto.
Charlotte Salisbury of the Three
Lakes high school visited school
Friday.
Thursday evening the boys and
girls teams will go to Phelps to
play there.
The following is a letter written
by member of the senior English
class, which is to try to convince
an imaginary person to remain in
high school.
Dear friend,
| am very sorry to hear that you
had decided to quit school. If you
will pardon my seeming interfer-
ence, will tell you that you are
making a grave mistake, one that
you will always regret.
In this busy world Of ours high
school diploma is a very necessary
thing. If you want to get ahead
you must have one. Of course men
with hardly any education worked
themselves up until now they are
leaders in the country. But those
men are very few in number, and
you must be full of ambition.
You stayed in school until you
had only two more years to go, and
then suddenly quit. That is like
the man who almost attains sue
cess in the business world, but goes.
no farther. The last stages are
usually the most difficult, but they
are the ones that make you have
that feeling of achievement. Is
that not right?
| know it is not a financial rea-
son that is making you do this.
To be frank, is it not merely lack
of ambition and no determination?
Some day, you may want to enter
a university or a college. Without
that thing you are casting aside,
you will not be able to enter. You
some day, will want to seek employ
ment other than manual labor, and
the first question that will be
asked you is, Have you had high
school education and have you a
diplomat" You, unless you listen
to my advice, will have to say no.
People look back at their days in
school and say, Those were the
days!" And they are. There you
find companions, fun and if you
want it that way, very interesting
classes.
Are you quitting because you
don't care for school? Anyone can
make himself dislike it, and what
is more, you, yourself can make
school the most interesting place
there is.
In school you have to play the
game. 1t is not interesting if you
don't take an interest in it, is it?
l know, after you think it over
you will decide not to give up one
Of the most interesting and bene-
fetal periods of your life.

senior assembly is not far off. But
we'll tell you next week if you can
stand the suspense that long. The
Latlnites also have something up
their sleeves and so have the fresh
men for that matter.
The domestic science class served
lunch after the game Friday night.
The proceeds amounted to S15.75.
With this money the class is going
to buy towels for the laboratory.
The song contest is at an end.
The following songs were given
prizes:
To the tune of Collegiate" first
place, $3.50.
To the tune of, yes Sir, That's
My Baby" second place, $.75.
To the tune of, "Ah Ha," third
place, $50.

TURKEYS BRING CASH
TO TEXAS FARMERS

Mr.. MeCrary to prove that the farm
ers prospered.
Last year." Mr.. McCrary said,
dealers paid producers ah average of
IA cents per pound for turkeys during
the Thanksgiving period.
"Twenty-nine cents, or more than
twice as much per pound. was the
average the farmer received for 1925
turkeys. At this rate, he had to mar
ket only one per cent more than half
as much this season as he did in 1924
to make more money!
s5 PER CENT CROP.
Statistics compiled by the bureau
of economics Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture estimated that
Texas as whole raised IS per cent
Of its normal crop Of gobblers.
The 90 per cent normal production
estimated for the section around San
Antonio met with a good demand for
first-class turkeys, with birds not
ready for marketing turned down fol
further conditioning.
"The fewer birds handled this year
meant less feed used, less labor on the
part Of the farmer, and less truck ex-
pense, all of which went toward a
greater profit for him." Mr.. McCrary
said.

new gown. Go into Los Angeles for
it.
She said quietly: "All right"
The day of this engagement he had
still given her no money nor even the
fare to Los Angeles.
But when he saw her in a gown she
had worn dozens of times, he got white
with anger-a cruel sensuous frenzy.
She flouted him: ooh, keep your
eyebrows out of your hair, Benny |!
I'm good enough for Queen Bazazas,
let alone Bebe Murillo! As for the
gown, you omitted to tell me which
day it is they give dresses away in
Los Angeles"
You're too proud to ask for the
money, / suppose? Why didn't you
take it then? You're not too proud to
take. Or have you changed? The wal
let is still in my pocket"
She never let him see how these
goads stung her. He was relentless.
Perhaps you thought when you mar
ried me, the walls would be papered
with greenbacks and you'd have your
own little car-and maid and what
not?"
She smiled: "You read my Utmost
thoughts, Poverty and are good old
pals, Benny-you can't make me mad
leaSing US alone"
He walked up, his teeth half barred.
She expected him to strike her.
And one night he sat in the living
room watching as che read. Finally
he got up and leaned over her Shout
der. 1t was love story. He laughed !:
You take it out in imagination, do
you:"
Sandy closed the book hotly, walked
about the room. He followed her. "On
the level, though, why did you marry
me-"
She said quickly, not thinking: Il
didn't know what / was doing"
He rubbed his palms together. "But
you knew what you we're doing when
you stayed all night in hillside cab
in"
She had her back to him, her hands
on little table. He stood behind her,
pressing his hands on hers, laughing
softly. Really, when you consider
some things, isn't this GOODNESS of
yours little overdCney"
At these times Sandy was afraid of
him. He did other things that whipped
her. Like one afternoon when May
and Bernice Arliss dropped in and
Sandy made them cup of tea, Murillo
came home early. He was very
suave. He went up to Sandy and put
his arms about her. He kissed her and
laughed softly. His eyes had a cruel,
exultant CLEAN.
t. These silent clashes made her hys-
terical. I'm dog to stray on here"
she told herself. "a dog"
Then one evening the thing she
dreaded happened. She was in the
garden-a small, delightful enclosure.
with an old magnolia tree and red
pepper and two acacias. It was the
end Of October. The setting sun was
a gaudy fan spread out in amber and
jade on the sea.
Sandy wore black. That made her
face so pale and filled her eyes with
shadows. She had picked the last
three roses, cream color with the pet
ais blown. She leaned against the
tree, watching the eolors tossing on
the wafes.
She wished she was far out there
on the ocean. She had cried because
she felt lonely and defenseless.
Now she stood with her hands be-
hind her head, taking slow sweet
breaths. She thought life had used
her bitterly.
Suddenly she was aware OF Mu-

rillo staring at her. She didn't know
how long he had been there.
He came toward her slowly, his
way: SANDY" Then he bent down
and kissed her hands.
She trembled. The tears flew to
her eyes.
~When?" he asked.
She couldn't answer. She was
both touched and stricken by the
look of his face. She had feeling as
of death in her heart.
He put his arm about her as they
walked to the house.
She wanted greatly to cry.
He was unnerved with emotion.
He tried to tell her that he under
stood now. She could feel his exult-
ance.
All through the dinner she felt it.
His sister was there. He kept look
ing at Sandy and toasting her. He
opened the finest old wines he owned
urged her to drink.
She saw him talking with Beatrice.
They were talking of her. She knew
this was a bitter thing TO feel yet
she felt trapped.
His sister came over officiously,
kissed her as though she were receiv-
ing her into the fold. ~
Sandy wished to run screaming from
the room.
That night she was standing at her
window. 1t was late. Murillo came
softly. He took her hands, drew her
to him. She said family. Il love to
watch that light on the water.
Don't"
He laughed: Sandy Everything is
different now"
