WISCONSIN REALTY
BOARD is UPHELD
Refused Florida Company License
Because Complete Financial
Statement Was Refused.
BY the Associated PreA

BY the Associated PreA
MADISON, Wis, December 23.-
Examination of the complete decision
of the Wisconsin Supreme Court
which on December denied a real
estate brokerage license to the Dur
ham Tropical Co. of St. Petersburg,
Fla, showed that the finding was
chiefly a justification of the State real
estate boards demand for a full finan-
cial statement from the company.
This statement was refused by the
company at the initial hearing before
the baord, and the Dane County Cir
cult Court upheld the position of the
company. The board thereupon ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court.
In it's findings the high court did
not ascribe frauds of amazing pro-
portions" to this company, but men,
toned them only as having been per-
petrated by others in the past and
hence as having created an atmos-
phere Of suspicion as to deals in lands
far distant from Wisconsin which
justified the real estate board in ask
ing full financial statement from
this company.
The Supreme Court reviewed testi-
mony by the Wisconsin representa-.
tive of the company, who told the
board that the land could be cleared
for from SIS to $40 an acre and that
they proposed to sell it for SIS an
acre. He also testified that it would
cost about $125 to fertilize the land,
the Supreme Court said.
This statement as to fertilizer is
significantly absent from the adver-
Using matter submitted" It also
quoted the witness rejoinder:
Il do not think that a man selling
land in Wisconsin is expected to tell
a purchaser how much fertilizer is
necessary"
The high court review also brought
out testimony that the company's
authorized capital was $4,000 Of
which 100000 was paid in, and that
1t owned a tract containing 10000
acres, which, If sold at the indicated
price, would bring in $4,000, 900.
It was after this testimony that the
board asked the full financial state
ment, and the Supreme Court decision
said:
THE refusal to comply with this
request was suspicious circumstance
fully justifying the board in denying
the license"

Jerusalem Gives
Phone Numbers i'm
Eleven Languages

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 23.-Tele
phone users in Jerusalem can ask
. for their numbers in eleven Ian
guages and the exchanges will put
them through.
Writing in the monthly Tele-
graph and Telephone Journal. l..
NJ. Smith, superintendent of tele-
phones in Palestine. says: "Pales-
tine has, in addition to the three
official guages-English, Arabic
and Hebrew-several other Ian
guages in common use, such as
French, German, Spanish, Greek,
Italian, Russian, Armenian and
Rumanian.
This is a formidable list, but a
caller in any of these languages
can be served without much trou-
BILE in the Jerusalem exchange,
where each of the telephonists
speaks at least three languages
well, and can deal with simple de-
mands for numbers passed in five
or six different tongues.

humble You know many things
which these boys and girls do not
know yet and which they ought to
learn from you. Tell them so in a
kind, firm way Show them that it
is because of your love and hard
work and ambition that they are
having a better chance than you had
at their age.
Let the children understand that
all can share knowledge together
just as all share the daily food at
the table. Little children are very
glad to have their mothers visit the
kindergarten and see the many in
teresting things they have told them
about. The teachers wish parents to
come to school. A grown person
may learn much from just a little
while in school or at a museum
or in picture gallery.
Go with the children. Take them
with you to places where all will
learn. Teachers and attendants will
be glad to help all of you to learn
together. Thus you will be like a
party climbing some great mountain
side, Joined together by cords which
help all to climb as one.

A PARTY IN THE COUNTRY
BY o. LAWRENCE HAWTHORNE

Oh, party in the country is a carni-
val OF fun,
While a party in the city is a bore!
And the city people sigh and yawn till
each ordeal is done,
But the country folks will always beg
for more.
Almost every city person thinks that
everybody there
Is piker or a nuisance or a snub;
And they seldom get acquainted just
because they do not care
To become part Of what they call
the mob"
In the country, folks are known for
what they are and what they do.
And their neighbors learn to love
them overnight.
In the country where amusement S
bright facilities are few,
Good old-fashioned comradeship still
gives delight
Yes, a party in the country is a mighty
big event.
And an invitation is a queens COM
mand.
! Everybody goes-and later tells the
world he's glad he went
1t was loads of fun, and my! those
eats were grand!

This new product of G. Ober &
Sons Co., is purely a mineral COM
blnatiOn and does not contain Pro-
tein. 1t has been shown that GER
tain quantities of organic minerals
are necessary to maintain healthy
cattle and fowls, if heavy milk and
egg production is to be expected of
them. This mineral mixture helps
to replace in their bodies. what the
strain of heavy production depletes.
1t is also very good for hogs and

product is not expensive and should
be used by all mixers and feeders.

Home Education
LEARNING TOGETHER
Mary S. Stover

1t was on train running from Ine
city into the beautiful, fresh, green
country. Ahead of me sat a family
group.of father, mother, eager small
boy and wee baby sister. o, the num-
Der of questions that passed from
one to another, and the interest each
one took in everything!
One remarkable circumstance was
that the little boy didn't ask all the
questions. Indeed, he was generally
the one to be questioned, and how
anxious that made him to reply well!
The parents were an Immigrant
couple of toil-bent peasant stock.
Their son had been a fresh air va
catiOnist" last summer. Now all were
off for a blissful country day to-
gether, and Joe felt his responsible
tiles as conductor of the travel par
ty,
This family was made up of wise
people. All were willing to ask ques-
tions and to learn from one another.
That was as it always should be
with parents and children. 1t is es-
pecially important when the older
ones have not had as good chance
as the children to learn about this
country and how people live here.
Much is said and written about
AmericanizatiOn. The very best plan
is for the members Of each family to
learn together about the new land, to
learn from the best OF their neigh
bors and in turn to inform their
neighbors, so that all may under
stand and live according to right
rules of life here.
No one need worry about the out
come in a home where children lave
a fair chance to attend kindergarten
and day school and Sunday school,
if they are not repulsed in their ma
tural desire to share the good things
learned.
Some parents find it q delight to
let their children play teacher. For
others this is very difficult. All need
much good will and open-minded-
ness. They need to remember that
the greatest men and women were
always learning. Such persons glad
ly stoop to learn from children and
to learn as little children do. One
who was very wies indeed said about
children: "Of such is the kingdom OF
heaven"
Children are not ashamed to won
der about things and to ask many
questions. Wise older people do the
same. Most of us fail to learn as we
might because of our fOolishness in
not wanting others to see how ig-
norant we are. All of us can learn
many things with the children and
from them.
Parents, if you would keep abreast
of your children learn from them.
Do not be too proud nor yet too
