and Monday was a lucky day for Victor Mockus for he was permitted to settle a perjury charge which has been hanging over him by the payment of a fine instead of being forced to stand trial on that charge in the municipal court Peter Norbut aad Pavel Plat the other two men involved with Mockus in the case also have every reason to congratulate themselves for thjy were allowed to go free on the same terms The case grew out of the arrest of Moekus on a charge of selling liquor to minors At the time of the trial of the liquor selling case all three of the men went on the stand and swore that Mockus did not sell liquor to the minor in question MoCkus wa convicted and fined $50 an: costs in this case and the evidence wA-SO clear that Judge Randall recommended that the district attorney prosecute the three men for perjury The men were arrested on the perjury charge on Septenlber 20th Mockus being released on $1000 bonds demeanor changed considerably after he had had time to realize what a serious perdieament he was in and he appeared in court Monday afternoon in a very penitent frame of mind He had no excuses or explanations to offer for his conduct his only statement to the court being that he was so excited over his arrest that he have been and be threw himself on the mercy of the court and took the blame for the whole affair on his own shoulders In view of the fact that the minimum penalty on conviction for perjury is two years in the- penitentiary which the count considered too severe in this case and in consideration of the 'fbet that Mockus is a married man with several children and had previous to his arrest always Ijorne a good reputation Judge Randall with the consent -of the district attorney permitted the charge to be changed to contempt of court and fined Mockus $200 and costs The other men have been in jail since theii arrest and have lost their positions in consequence and the court considered a $50 fine sufficient penalty in their eases Mockus paid all of the fines and costs and -with the fine assessed against him in the liquor selling case it cost him $38807 to settle with the clerk The court gave the three men a better understanding of the crime of oerjury than they ever had-before and ie announced in no uncertain terms that the case was not to be considered as having established a percedent for dealing with crimes of this nature in his court but that any further offenses of that nature would be punished to the fullest extent of the law PLANS TO GUT DOWN LOSSES I 1 GOST HIGHER AND PAY LOWER admitted some nied others and the trial was a good out the state believe that the Repubh- lowing Dr Bili Br McShane corn-can convention should endorse Taft but it is expected that Gov McGo missioner of public health of the city gave a very interesting address the a comjc opera trial but at the it Bverett was given another subject Duty to the It was the first appearance of Dr McShane since he took up his work in Kenosha and the members of the profession were greatly pleased with the manner in which he presented slg important question before the council was the election of a water the big problems of the public health The committee of fifteen appointed year ago by Superintendent Cary to vestigate the whole system of untry schools and suggest modifica-piis in the presept school organiza-u has just concluded another meet-g in Milwaukee This was the fourth meeting of the mmittee during the year The large tendance at each of the meetings is criterion of the great interest tne ambers have taken in the study of untry school problems They are not ily giving fretily of their time but defraying their own expenses as ell John Sims president of the even Point Normal school atteud-I tho meeting as the representative the board of normal school regents It was hoped that the work of the mmittee might be completed at this acting but this was found to be im acticable Another meeting will be ld in October A complete report ill then be madp to the state super-temlent who will have the report inted for distribution among the bool officers of the state members of le assembly and senate state officers tid people interested in improving the nal schools The committee is of the opinion aat fundamental changes in the ad unistration of these shools are neces ary to make it possible for them to leet the -demands of present day con itions The following are some of he recommendations in the prelimin-iry report made to State Superinten- i ent Cary: 1 The minimum legal qualifications 0i- teaching in the public schools of he state after say 1915 shall be two high school training and a professional work in a county raining school for teachers' or a Aortal school offering a special course of tudy for country teachers 2 To meet the demand for in-r eased efficiency on the part of ountry teachers during the next few ears the certification law should be mended in such a way that the sum-ier schools for teachers may be able offer courses of study better adapt-d to the needs of jffiese teachers Some means should be provided hereby the consolidation of many of he 1200 district schools having an at-er dance of less than ten pupils may brought about 4 To provide adequate supervision the country schools the appoint unit of county superintendents of chools and their assistants should ba ested in county boasfis of education he members of which should be elect-d by the people of the different -ounties 5 Some plan should be devised vhereby the country schools may be nade to serve as social centers 6 The number of county training jchools for teachers should be materially increased State Superintendent Cary spent a Short time at the meeting but took no part in the deliberations of the committee At the first meeting of the committee in October 1911 in lining in a general way the possible lines of investigation the committee might follow he said that he hoped the committee would carry on its work wholly independent of the state demit ment of education For this reason he has studiously refrained from making any suggestion to the commit too However he expressed himself as well pleased yCth the thoroughness and earnestness which characterizes the work of the committee He hopes that their recommendations may be Helpful in securing the legislation which may be found necessary to assure the country youth opportunities for securing an education fully as good as the opportunities now accorded city 'ihlldren to Mr will and that son with the ern and his friends will be able to get away with a platform which will be silent on the question of National Administration The governor is said to be favorable to the candidacy of Roosevelt but some of the more active candidates on the ticket are demanding that President Taft be endorsed by the Wisconsin Republicans The Bull Moosers are expected to meet in Milwaukee on Friday and if by tha time McGovern has not come out in the open by refusing to allow an endorsement of the regular Republican candidate a third ticket will be put in the field Many of the candidates for member of the legislature it is claimed will insist on an open fight that the people may know just where the candidates stand Dr Bergen of Highland Park representing the physicians fof Lake county spoke on the subject the toast Duty to His

county producers are affiliated Saturday the Borden company announced a reduction of 9 1-6 cents a hundred pounds in the price paid the farmers for their product This was followed by an announcement on behalf of the farmers that a federal investigation would be asked The milk producers had asked an increase of nineteen cents per hundred pounds anti the announcement that a 9 1-6 cent cut had been made arous ed them to immediate action According to the farmers milk at the present time is produced at a greater expense than ever before Feed they assert is high Cattle have increased in price and laborers for dairy farms can scarcely be had at any price The milk ordinance recently passed by the Chicago city council they say has increased the cost of producing milk for the Chicago market more

was so high Under the new city ordinance the farineK must keep the flanks of his cattle clipped He must reduce the temperature of the milk to sixty degrees immediately after milking This means larger
