SCOOTING AROUND STANLEY WITH JOE Fazen din Recently I have written two editorials about our school ad ministration. I must say that I have received more reader re sponse to them than anything I have ever written.

I ask myself if they accom – plished a purpose. Last week many people were awakened to the fact that when your editor says something in his column, he lays his business on the line (or where it counts, as some would say). Many people just never gave that a thought.

As for "trading at home," I believe we could use a good editorial on that once a year. It certainly wouldn't do any harm.

And now – how about that "floating fund" cut? Should it have been cut or shouldn't it? What's your thought?

Last week I had a chance to go over the school budget with several board members and I found some very enlightening facts. In setting up a budget for a farm, a private business, or a corporation there is primarily no trouble, but to set up a bud- get for a public business, be tween the state and the Federal government, your hands get tied as to what kinds of funds you have. I was also asked this question – 'Why is it that if at the end of the school bud get year money remains in the treasury, you are open for pub- lic criticism for "padding the budget,” but if the same thing happens in private business, you are complimented because it shows you did an economical job of running your business? A very good point, isn't it.

American Gas Gets Exten –

sion of Franchise Passage of a permanent trailer ordinance and exten – sion of the American Gas Co. franchise were the two most important items acted on by the Boyd village board Monday evening.

The trailer ordinance, which replaces a "stopgap" ordi – nance passed several months ago, provides for a $5 month – ly trailer parking charge. The new law also has provisions for the regulation of trailer courts, and levies a license fee of $2 per space on such courts, with a minimum charge of $10 per year.

Trailer homes already parked in the village will not be affected by the new ordinance, according to village president Norbert Scheuer, except that they will be required to pay the monthly $5 fee.

PIONEER WOMAN GOES TO HER REWARD Aged Ninety Years, Henri – etta Shilts Succumbs to Effects of an accident.

Mrs. Henrietta C. Shilts, probably the oldest living resident and who probably had resided in Stanley and vicinity longer than any person now living, died at Victory Hospi – tal Monday morning at seven o'clock, aged almost 90 years. Her death was directly due to injuries which she suffered from a fall in her home on Feb- ruary 1st, resulting in a fracture of the hip. Although she had been very active and in excel lent health up to within the past few months, her health had been declining.

“Sissy” Shilts as she was affectionately known to the people of the city was a unique character. She was born in Massachusetts on July 7, 1832, her maiden name being Henri- etta Holbrook.

First known in area as Mrs. John Carr, husband died in civ il war.

Married Mathias Shilts, "a member of the well-known Shilts family in and around Boyd. Mr. Shilts died in 1892 after he and Mrs. Shilts were among earliest settlers of Stan- ley and Mrs. Shilts had lived alone since, her home at fourth and Franklin Streets. 110 years ago February 3, 1912

THE ICE HARVEST Ole C. Haugen has his store- houses filled with ice from the

Wolf pond which will be sup – plied to customers this summer in place of the Otter creek ice furnished heretofore. The ice is said to be of good quality owing to the frequent rains this fall. Mr. Haugen was unable to get his dam repaired after the washout last fall hence his change of source of supply. The ice is from two and a half to three feet thick, the thickest ever known here.

CABBAGE CULTURE Bringing Wealth to the Farmers of Outagamie and Ra- cine Counties. Market Boom ing.

TO BE INTRODUCED HERE Stanley Country Best Adapted to Growth of the Suc – culent Head. Vegetable Market Sure.

The present market price of cabbage is twenty-four dol – lars the ton. An average yield per acre in the old exhausted lands of Outagamie and Racine counties is 12 tons to the acre. Figure that out for yourself. If you had raised ten acres of cabbage last year and had the cabbage on hand now in good condition you could have vi sions of a trip to Florida with a six cylinder automobile on But cabbage does not al ways sell for twenty-four dol- lars the ton. A year ago now the price was twelve dollars and a year hence it might be twelve dollars.

Kenosha, Wis., Jan. 29.- [Special.]-Miss Anna Ziese mer died suddenly under pe- culiar circumstances in this city Monday night. Miss Ziese – mer was apparently in perfect health in the morning when she started to work. She laughed and chatted with her com – panions. During the walk she turned to Miss Mary Link and said. “I am going to die this af- ternoon." The girl reached the factory and started toward the workroom,when she fell into a faint. She was taken to her home in a carriage and died shortly before 5 o'clock in the afternoon. During the day she regained consciousness and repeatedly told her friends she was not going to live later than the time for the factory to close.
