SHERMAN WRITES AT SEA.
CONTINUED from Page One)

the past three days and deck games of
all sorts go on. These comprise deck
tennis with rope circlets for balls and
hands for rackets, Switchboard, a
form of deck bowling, quoits and sew
skipping and walking. Tonight we
have a concert given by gifted passen-
gers for benefit of the marine chart
ties. Every evening the bagpipe band
plays in the steerage or third class.
And we have organized a deck 'bahnd"
as the Scotch call it, for the daily
some whistle, some sing and some
clap. Others just keep marching, two
0y two. Great exercise.
The sea air, the sunshine, the abso-
lutte purity of the air-no dust, no
smoke, no fumes of any kind, make a
sea voyage at it's best an ideal way
of taking a vacation. Without going
further, we all feel we'll repaid for
our trip. If you can imagine bright
sun on the water, blue waves tumb-
ling away on each side for miles, a
warmth and sparkle to the air and an
absolute freedom from worry or re-
sponsibility Except for natural anxi-
ETY. for the welfare of those at home)
you know what a beautiful day sea is.
Once in blue moon you see whale.
There are plenty of gulls now as we
approach the Irish coast, although the
tradition is that gulls do not follow a
Scotch boat, there being no waste.
Pride of the Scotch.
I forgot to say that the Athena was
built at Fairfield on the Clyde two
years ago at a cost exceeding a mil
lion pounds. She is the acme of
Scotch boat building ability. Clyde
built means something to Scotch
workmen who have an honest pride in
doing a fine piece of work.
But this is long enough and prob
ably too long. Tomorrow we sight the
Irish coast. Tomorrow night we reach
the Firth of Clyde and then Glasgow.
Expect to see Edinburgh. The Burns
Country, and other interesting points
including the Trossachs.
Will write again in week or two.
Best wishes to all. A. l.. 3.

Oats Making Big Yields in
Southwestern Wisconsin

Threshing was we'll begun, when
the rain of last Friday interrupted the
good news that was being rolled out
of the machines. AS far as the thresh-
ing went, it was in every way encour-
aging and fully justified the hope of
the world.
In one respect it was not so good
many farmers found the oats too
green-they needed more time in the
shock No so, however, with barley,
that was ready for the granary.
Charles Zeigler had rather small
field of oats and he regarded it as
about fair. 1t turned out 81 bushels
to the acre. His oats were dry and fit
to go into the bin.
Out of an acreage of about so acres,
John Thier, Ellenboro township,
threshed 16 acres. He got 1856 bush
els, more than 70 bushels to the acre.
1t is reported that Adolph Schneid-
er, South Lancaster, threshed 400
bushels of oats from eight acres, but
the crop was thin on the ground.
Nick Adams, south of town, had "a
1-2 acres, drill measure, of oats and
oats and barley mixed The threshing
machine turned him out 1491 bushels.
He thinks that corn is not so far adj
vanced as many are talking, and hopes
for six weeks of hot weather for a
finisher.
Will Pagenkopf, Little Grant, had AZ
acres of oats and got $500 bushels, a
little better than So bushels for the
acre, which is good on so large an
acreage.
On the Charles Becker farm, Pine
Knob, barley turned out so bushels to
the acre.
In the town of Liberty Ed Gratz
threshed out 80 bushels Of barley to
the acre.
George Sandleback. town OF Ellen
boro, had a good acreage of oats that
turned out IS bushels.
Louis Bendorf, on the Burr Walker
farm, threshed and the oat yield was
IS bushels to the acre.

THE OPPOSITE VIEW

EDITOR Herald:
A petition signed by over one hun
dred of the electors or owners of agri-
cultural land in the High school dis
trict has been submitted to the city
school board, in accordance with the
new school law enacted by the legis-
lature at the last session.
Looking at it from the farmers
angle, he is paying tax on large valu-
ations and the family in town pays on
small valuations for the same privi-
leges and benefits and also the school
is much easier of access to the latter
In many cases where a large farm
is under mortgage and high school or
municipal tax or both the owners are
giving up entirely.
From the standpoint Of the citizen
it means one of two things, higher tax
es or a reduction in the running eX-
penses of the school.
The last annual meeting here ap-
proved the latter method by voting
out one of the four special courses.
With the farm land petitioned to be
detached, formed into new district
and paying tuition and also paying its
share of the bonded Indebtedness on
the new building, the increase in tax
in the city would not be heavy.
Moreover, when the new building is
finally paid for, it will belong to the
city, and the farm lands in the dis
trict will have paid over $4,000 to-
ward it for bonds and interest. The
greatest relief to the farmers will
come after the bonded Indebtedness is
paid off and also they will be free
from any increased budgets that may
seem necessary with the new school.
The present situation has caused
considerable feeling and, all in all,
this matter finally settled, let US have
a more united community.

The Federal Government also is
engaged in an interesting study of
the comparative usefulness of married
and single women employed in the
various departments. No official dis
elimination against employment of
married women now exists in the
Government service. but there has
constantly been objection to married
women in civil service posts by single
persons, both men and women. The
Personnel Classification Board and
the Civil Service Commission are
concerned in a reclassification of all
the Government clerks, to comply
with the reorganization act, and the
efficiency ratings of all clerks, both
married and single, are being studied
with view to reductions in personnel

WRIGHT'S PLANE
 MAY STAY HERE
Dickerings May Result in U. S.
 Museum Getting It

Washington, June 3. (AP)-The original airplane of the Wright brothers, recently awarded by Or vile Wright to an English museum may yet occupy place in the Smithsonian institution here.
 Grover c. Looming, aeronautical engineer, acting he said, for parties interested in adequate commemora- ton in the recognition of the Wright and Langley aviation achievements conferred yesterday with Dr. Charles D. Wolcott, secretary of the smith, sonian. Later he expressed conh- dence that the dispute over the label describing the Smlthsonian's Langley plane exhibit to which Mr. Wright has objected, would be smoothed out and that the Wright machine would be sent here.
 The label credits the Langley plane with being the first man-car- rying machine capable of flight, and this, Mir. Wright has charged, is incorrect. Belief that pr. Walcott Is receptive to suggestions for re- visjng the description to meet. in his judgement, Mir. Wright's objections, was expressed by the engineer.
 In awarding his plane to the Eng fish museum, Mir. Wright stipulated that the agreement could be revok- ed within five years, and this clause mov be used to keen the machine in this country. MT. Looming said.
