unless number of them drop out II
VIII be necessary to divide the large
class. In the first grade at the North
Grammar school there were 81 pupils,
and this Is believed to be too MANY
for one teacher to handle.
The sixth grades at the Junior high
school, which are new this year, were
not opened yesterday because of the
failure of the new furnishings of the
room to arrive in time. The furniture
was shipped from Grand Rapids, Mich.
two weeks ago and its arrival in Wa
terville is expected daily. The pupils
are reporting at the school building
each day and the furniture will be in
stalled without delay once 1t is in tho
city, so that the youngsters studies
will not be greatly interfered with.
The teaching force Is intact except
for two Of the teachers. Miss Lillian
at the North Grammar school. was un-
able to be in the city because of illness
and she will not assume her duties I'M
til next Monday. A telegram from
John Eagen of the junior high school
faculty was received yesterday saying
that he had been unexpectedly detain-
ed day in Massachusetts, but he will
be on duty this morning.
At the senior high school there was
some misunderstanding among the
students as to the daily schedule and
this has now been Strengthened out.
Classes this year commence at 8
o'clock instead Of at $50 as was the
case last year. and the first half hour
Of the day which was formerly used
for physical exercise has been done
away with. Later arrangements will
be made so that the students can have
physical drill each day and in smaller
divisions than last year.

Take peep into almost any business conference
today. You'll find heated arguments. Much
smoking. Tensed nerves.
But something else today-youu find men eat
ing Life Savers between smokes
They take quickly to this wholesome habit. One
man notices another and soon all have discovered
this new way Of getting more pleasure out of
smoking.
More and more smokers doing the same thing.
We wondered if you knew this about Life Savers
those little candy minis with the hole; how they
freshen your mouth between smokes, soothe your
nerves and make the next smoke taste much better

RESOLUTION


RESOLVED: That lincoln Grange
No. 654 in session assembled this
first day of March 1925 go on record
as unanimously endorsing the hiring
of County Agricultural Agent for
Villas County to consider this matter
as coming direct from farmers who
believe such an agent is necessary for
the betterment of our agricultural
conditions.
Therefore we ask for a County
Agent who will personally look after
the interests of each and every farm
er in the entire county; one who by
the use of common sense will under
stand what assistance should be given
the small, the average, and the large
farmer and not bankrupt the small
farmer with big farmer ideas, an
agent able to intelligently instruct the
farmer what they should go into and
while they are struggling along aid
them in securing other lucrative work
oilu ouSIGHdllCO Until III q pOollloH "
assist themselves.
We believe such an agent, if he can
be secured, will mean the salvation
of the farmers Of Villas County and be
the means of broadening our tillable
acreage to such an extent that the
farmers will become self-supporting
and Independent of loan agents and
bankruptcy courts.
Therefore Lincoln Grange No. 654
as a body ask the County Board of
Villas County to correspond with the
State Agricultural Board at Madison
and ascertain if such an agent as we
have stated can be secured, and if he
can, to make all haste in hiring him
for the present year

Thursday must be an unlucky day
as we'll as Friday for the Basket Ball
boys. They lost both games at the
Rhinelander Tournaments The first
game with Tomahawk, was ten to fiji
teen, but Tomahawk won the tourna-
ment, SO we think they did pretty
good. The score, in the second game,
played with Merrill, was fifteen and
seventeen. We hope to do better at
the tournament at Laona The teams
there are the kind we have played all
this year.

SCHOOL NOTES

From now on, on all pleasant days
the school building will be opened at
8:45 a. M. At that time the pupil may
come in if he wishes, but on coming in
he will be required to go to the, base
ment if he SO wishes; then come up
stairs in single file and get a drink
from the fountain. The pupils on the
first floor use the fountain on that
floor and those on the second floor
use their respective drinking fountain.
The back stairs will be used only
when passing at recess periods and
when pupils leave the room during
class hours.
In this way we shall eliminate, a
great deal of confusion and disorder
in the building. Once the child is in
the building he will be expected to
stay in unless for some good reason
he must go Out.In that case he may
get permission the teacher on duty on
the first floor. When once in the build
ing he will be required to go to his
own room after putting his wraps in
the cloak room and sit down, busy him
self and be quiet. If the child would
rather stay outside that is his own
privilege.
In the afternoon the building will
be open at LOB p. m. AIT that the
children will be expected to come in,
in the same manner as in the morning.
OF course on cold and stormy days
different arrangements will be resort
ed to as occasion and circumstances
demand We wish to have the school
building as orderly and well kept as
any well organized home.

Principal.
