ParcO School Doors
Close for the Summer
Vacation June the 18th

The Parco school closed its doors
today for the summer vacation and
all the pupils are now tree to roam
and enjoy themselves for the next
three months. An excellent record
has beer made by the four grades in
Parco. Not a single failure has been
recorded and some very good work
has been done by the majority of the
students.
The honor students in the first and
second grades for the past six weeks
were Billy Fleischli, Thomas Desonia
Claire Thomas, Eunice Strange, Mar
garet Taylor, Margaret Seick, Victor
Nickerson and Lillian Dow of the
first grade and Louise Eaton, Mar
garet McAllister, Ira Want, Charles
Jacques, Glenys Coons, Jean Sorn-
berger and Mabel Huston all of the
second grade. These two grades
are taught by Miss Lemon who is in
charge of the Parco school.
In the third and fourth grades
taught of Miss Quandt: Harry Neill,
Eula Hairs, Billy Porter, Marjorie
Cartwright, Edward Yamamoto, Mar
jorie Harlow and Blossom Frederick
led their respective grades in scholar
ship, for the past six weeks.
Both Miss Lemon and Miss Quandt
have carried on the work of the
school with a great deal of persever-
ance and have done a great deal in
getting the cooperation of the par
ents in their work. These factors
undoubtedly have assisted in making
such an excellent record. The return
of these two excellent teachers to the
Parco school next year is assured n
1t is hoped that another record such
as this years will be made.

Among all the suggestions for con
trolling the industry and all reports
on Investigations and prosecutions
you will find the same spirit and the
same suspicion that some where there
exists a controlling power which die
tates all matters pertaining to oil.

until the seventh when they scored
one and repeated again in the ninth
period. Both teams played good ball
and the game was fast and interest
ing.
This is Cummins first appearance
for the Oil Cans on the mound and
his showing has placed him among
the best pitchers in the local leagues.
He had perfect control at all times
and put sufficient twist on the ball
to keep the boys guessing the ma
jority of the time. His team mates
aided him almost perfectly making
but three scattered errors against six
by the Hanna team.
The Oil Cans leave for Superior
next Saturday where they will play
oil that afternoon and will then
meet Green River on the following
day.
The results OFF Sundays game were

Its true but not tall enough to out
grow childish fears. This control we
speak of is not one whit more in
tangible than the Bogie Man. of IL
grandchildren. Its one of the mys-
teries of the age that an industry of
the magnitude of the oil industry
still allows itself to be the victim of
such silly superstitions. 1t may be
that you are like the great nations

of the 18th and the beginning of the
18th centuries when they were all
at war among themselves and the

of the situation for years proved on
all alike, not only robbing ships and
cargoes but enslaving all the crews.
Eventually some semblance of peace
was restored and Admiral Demdas

this blot on the worlds commerce.

Capture Man Who
Fled Parole Cop
John Stambulich, Arrested Here And
Who Escaped at Oshkosh, Is
Re-arrested.

. John Stambulich, 81, who escaped
from a Green Bay parols officer after
he had been arrested by the police of
Kenosha, has been re-arrested at Los
Angeles, according to message re-
ceived by the Kenosha police today.
He was arrested here many months
ago with two other men on suspicion
of robbery of the Sherwood bank. The
Kenosha police turned Stambulich
over to Milwaukee police officers, and
they, in looking over his past his
tory, found that he was wanted at
Green Bay for violating the terms of
his parole. He was turned over to
State Parole officer L. F. Murphy.
Murphy was taking the prisoner,
whom he had handcuffed, back to
Green Bay. While the parole officer
got out on one side of the automo-
bile, and was passing around it to the
other side to assist his prisoner to get
out, the prisoner had helped himself.
Handcuffed though he was, he mad
managed to open the door of the au-
tomobile and leaped from the car
Although the environs of Oshkosh
were searched, he was not caught.
The capture now at Los Angeles
ends search of about half a year for
the man.

Meet to Protest
Fox River Neglect

Portage, Wis. - NJ - A long
sought conference of government Of
ficials and persons interested in the
deepening of the channel of the Fox
river so as to permit navigation OF
that stream by large cr;.ft, is sched-
uled to be held here this afternoon.
The meeting is in the nature of
protest against government neglect OF
the lower Fox River. The claim is
made that for many years the govern
ment has failed to dredge out the
channel between Monticello and Port
age where canal connecting the Fox
and Wisconsin rivers exists. Were
this channel properly taken care of,
the protestants claim, the hope of a
Great Lakes to gulf waterways for
commercial uses might be realized.
Major Gilbert Van C. Wilkes, en-
gineer in charge of the Milwaukee
district, is here on behalf of the gov
eminent. Those protesting the alleged
neglect of the Fox river include Allan
H. Trip, president of the Associa-
tion for the Relief Of High Water,
Oshkosh, and Mayor R. H. Heintze,
Fond du Lac.
