Prospects for Crops
Good In Wisconsin
Reports From Farmers of State Give
Reason to Expect a Bumper
Crop This Year.

Madison, Wis. - } Wisconsin
farmers report prospects for a good
crop year, with indications of one Of
the best corn crops in the history Of
the state, Paul o. Nyhus, federal
state agricultural statisticia2, az
nounced today.
The August report of the crop AM
livestock reporting service shows high
yields of oats and barley. 1t appears
that feed mills may be kept down to
minimum this year, the report
states. The summary of conditions,
as announced by Mr.. Nyhus, follows:
Throughout the. southern half of the
state corn has made an unusually good
growth and is we'll cared. In north
ern Wisconsin, nights have been too
cool for corn, but the acreage in that
region is small. The condition of the
crop is given as 95 per cent-fully ten
points above the fve-year average for
August 1.
The excellent corn outlook together
with promises of high hog prices this
fall is fortunate and encouraging
combination for farmers in southern
Wisconsin where the returns from
hogs have been poor for the past two
years.

Plan to Revise
Some School Laws
Compulsory School Laws May be
Changed to Cut Down Truancy
In Wisconsin.

Madison, Wise Educational
authorities of Wisconsin propose to
learn what keeps children from school
The date will be used to decide ques-
tions Of policy concerning possible re-
visions of the compulsory educational
laws.
John Callahan, state superintend-
ent of public instruction, has asked
county superintendent for the in
formation particularly concerning abb
sences from rural and state graded
schools. The county officials were re-
quested to report how many days of
absence are due to illness, bad roads
and weather conditions, and how many
because it was necessary for the pu-
pill to remain at home to work.
Several important questions of ed
vocational policy which have confront
ed the department of public instruc-
ton during the past year have been
based upon certain assumptions con-
corning the causes Of absence from
school which we believe would not be
borne out by the facts, if they were
available" Superintendent Callahan
stated. "For this reason we are ask
ing the county superintendent to as
sist US in making a study of the
causes in their rural and state grad
ed schools for the coming year.
THE only way by which accurate
data can be obtained is to require rur-
al and state graded school teachers to
ascertain the cause of each pupils
absence from school and to list these,
reporting them to the county super
intendent's Office at the close of each
month.
"In order to make this statement
have significance it will be necessary
to have the net enrolment, the total
days of attendance, the average daily
attendance, the total days of absence
and the causes of absence, the last to
be classified.

Believe Weeks
Will Leave Cabinet

Swampscott, Mass. { 1.-THE visit
of Secretary of War Weeks at White
Court has strengthened the belief that
he will never return to the cabinet.
President Coolidge intimated as much
yesterday after the secretary, leaving
his residence alone for the first time
since stricken seriously i'll last spring,
had talked with him for half an hour.
Mr.. Weeks declared that his return to
Washington hinged on complete recov-

successors have been mentioned,
among them Charles D. Hilles, Repub-

CITY TO VOTE ON
SCHOOL BOARD
Civic Council Ready to Ask
City Council for Ref
erendum Here.
AT SENATE ELECTION
To Vote on Seven-Member
School Board Proposition
with u. S. Senator.

The city of Kenosha will vote on
whether or not it desires a seven
member school board in place of an
eishteen-member system, as at pres
ent, at the election which the city
council will call when Gov. Blaine an
nounces the date for special cleo
tion to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of the late Senator LaFollette.
That was the decision agreed upon at
a meeting of the Kenosha Civic Coun-
ell on Monday evening and this de-
sire will be communicated to the city
council at once.
The expression of the civic council
will be accompanied by a petition con-
tanning 2,220 names of voters of the
city of Kenosha asking that the
school board problem here be placed
before the public in the form Of re-
feredum. The petition has over 1000
more names that are required under
the law before such action can leg
ally be taken.
Will Save City Money.
It was originally planned to have
the question come up for decision by
the voters at the polls at a regular
fall election, but legal difficulties
were encountered here. Then it was
decided, as the petition states, that
a special election should be called for
this purpose. This would cost the city
of Kenosha approximately $4,000, and
with this fact in mind every effort
was made to get around this expendi-
ture somehow. A bill was introduced
in the state legislature which would
authorize the cities of the state to
legally change their old systems of
school administration and elect a
seven-member school board from the
city at large, regardless of their ward
affiliations. But this bill was defeat
ed, and the Civic council once more
was forced to return to the idea of a
special election.
Now the city Of Kenosha and the
rest of the state of Wisconsin is
faced with the necessity of holding a
special election to choose a United
States senator. The referendum will
be placed on the ballots at that time,
according TO Inc luIOIHdblVH given
the council on Monday night, and be-
cause this senatorial election must
be held the city can avoid the expen-
diture of that $4,000 by killing two
birds with one stone, it was pointed
out.
A All In Favor OF Change.
Several expressions of opinion have
been secured from the delegates to
the Civic council and there appears to
be an almost unanimous support Of
the proposed change. At Monday
nights meeting, George Cook, who
was chairman Of special committee
of the board of education to study the
situation, recalled that the school
board passed resolution unanimous
ly placing itself on record as favoring
a seven-member school board.
Other delegates spoke of the plan,
and it was the concensus of opinion
at that time to have every delegate
take the proposition to his individual
organization in support of the change.
An elaborate and extensive education
al campaign is planned to "sell" the
proposition to the city.

Text: "Thou art all fair, my love;
thou hast doves eyes within thy
locks; there Is no spot i'm thee; thou
hast ravished my art."-Song of
Solomon Al, Z, 9.
- HE text represents a husband
making love to his wife. In
- a succeeding verse he tells
her that she is like a garden full
of fragrant and fruitful plants, and
she responds by saying Let my be
loved come into his garden, and eat
his pleasant fruits"
This sermon was suggested TO my
mind by a little extract L recently
read from the biography Of Thomas
Carlyle. the great historian. Carlyle
was devoted to his wife, but through
the many years of their married life
he was so absorbed in his work that
he neglected to show her any Of
those little affectionate attentions
which mean so much to a woman S

many beautiful "reminiscences of her
With his features wrung with un-
awaiting sorrow, he would often say
to his friends, "Oh, if l could but
see her five minutes, to assure her
that l had really cared for her. But

Richmond to Terre Haute. Hard
ly any two of the larger Hoosier
cities are yet linked together with
pavement.
One can't drive from Indian
apolis to South Bend, from South
Bend to TT. Wayne, from Evans
vile to Indianapolis or Terre
Haute, without dropping off the
pavement into rutty gravel and
profanity.
Other States, with highway pro-
grams no older, have linked up
their important cities with paved
roads. In Michigan there is a con-
tinuous pavement from Detroit
west to Chicago, and from the In
diana line north almost to
Mackinaw. Illinois has half a
dozen roads across the State paved
throughout their length.
J DISCOUNTED sections of pavement

make a State highway system. The
highway commission, whether it
lays one hundred or two hundred
miles of pavement next year,
should fill some Of the unpaved
gaps. in important existing high
ways. That's more important than
the total mileage constructed.

PANNING THE "
ADMINISTRATION

1.-THE city plan commission
aroused the ire of Indian
~ apolis city councilmen at
their last meeting. They charged
it with everything from in
competence to sleeping sickness.
They also threw a few turnips at
the park board and board Of
works.
In fact they enthusiastically
PANIED the Shank administration,
from the modern Mikado himself
down to the street cleaning depart
ment.
That's a favorite pastime with
some councilmen. They count
that day lost on which they don't
take their battleaXes and hack the
cuticle off some municipal board
or department.
Not long ago they charged the
board of works with all the old
time-tried sins and a lot of new
wickedness. For a week they
Illuminated. They swore they
would investigate, expose and
extirpate that body instantly.
Members of the board almost felt
their pelts and scalps being jerked
from them. Then the councilmen
mislaid their dictionaries or ran
out of adjectives and the ad-
vertised obliteration of the board
of works was indefinitely post
poned. The investigation died be-
fore it was born.
No one claims the present city
administration is altogether pure
and holy. Some of the boards and
departments wear their furnished
halos askew.
But II the Indianapolis city gov
eminent is as inept and incom-
petent as anti-administration
councilmen claim why don't they
do something about it? They are
part of the municipal govern
mental machinery. The hurting of
invectives at council meetings is
entertaining but it doesn't serve
the public interest. A sharp
inective never righted a blunt
wrong.
