Considerable oats have been
threshed in this county and without
an exception are of excellent quality
and yielding well. Eighty bushels
per acre by weight has been report
ed by several and hardly any less
than so. 1t is believed the average
yield will be 60 bushels per acre.
Barley is of good quality and guam
tity but little off color. Wheat is
fair but there is not much grown in
the county. Corn promises a big
yield bat will require considerable
hot weather.
The greatest surprise which
awaits one in life is that which comes
to the fellow who stops his paper to
learn after month or two that it
continues to come out regularly de-
spite the withdrawal of his patron
age. 1t is the hardest thing in the
world for one to realize that the
world can readily get along without
him. Inconceivable is it that the
sun can rise and set, that the flowers
will bloom and the zephyrs blow af-
ter he has passed into the land of
the shadows. Harder is it for him
to understand that business with
which he was connected, however
remotely, can possibly get along
when he puts a wall between it and
himself Subscribers have perfect
right to come and discontinue when
they please. Some do so from eX-
cellent motives and many from
pique. They stop because a single
article displeases them or becabse it
declines to give advertising or for
any manner for frivolous cause.
Newspapers never expect to please
all their subscribers. Certainly
nothing is further from them than
to suppose that every article in each
issue will be eagerly read and de-
voured by every reader. 1t is not
to be thought that the preacher will
incline to the sporting columns or
that the young lady will go into
ecstacies over the financial news.
The aim of a good newspaper is to
give something that is good to all.
The tastes of it's readers are many
and varying. Subscribers who do
not like paper have the privilege
of stopping it but the paper will go
right along just the same.

LanCaSter'S Schools.

While other places are advertising
their schools the attention of parents
and young people is called to the ad-
vantages Of Lancaster as a school
town. It is one Of ne most pleas
antly situated cities in Wisconsin.
It's location is healthful, sanitary
conditions perfect, social life elevat-
ing, church privileges excellent and
it's school equipment Of the best. It
is reported on good authority that
less sickness exists among the pu-
pills OF the Lancaster high school
than any otLer similar institution in
this portion Of the state.
The courses of study have been
revised to keep pace with the most
advanced thought in educational
fields, and great care will be taken
that the mode Of procedure and
methods used shall be such as are ap-
proved only by the best authorities
producing the most gratifying re-
suits. Our aim is to furnish young
people a thorough, practical educa-
ton, prominence being given to
those studies most essential in every
day life and best fitted to make in
telligent and useful citizens.
The high standing of the schools is
evinced by the success of the alumni
of Lancaster high school. Among
these may be found some Of the
leading instructors in schools and |
colleges, and many others are filing
positions of trust and honor. Ac-
cOmmOdatiOns here are ample, in
structOrs capable, facilities excellent
and increasing, and the arrange
ment Of studies we'll adopted to
meet all requirements.
We invite the critical attention of
the young people of the su round
ing country to our schools. To all
earnest, honest workers who desire
the substance rather than the shad-
Ow Of an education we hold out in
ducements. If you desire to prepare
for college or to fit yourself for
teaching, we prepare thoroughly
those who contemplate a collegiate
or teachers course. A broader cul-
ture will soon be required of our
teachers than the mere ability to
solve problems in arithmetic or con-
undrums III grammar that occur
nowhere but in the befogged brain
of some mere pedagogue. More
than ever do young men and women
need to have well-trained minds.
The greatest requisite for advance
ment is to be fitted for the place
above you. Many fail of promotion
for the want of fitness for the open
ing when it came.
Too little do we appreciate the
advantages of securing this training
at or near home in the formation
period of life while we sometimes
have an exaggerated idea of what
may be accomplished by attending
an educational institution in some
distant place. Pupils graduated
from the Lancaster high school al e
admitted to all higher institution
of learning without examination or
extra preparation. The opportunity
is afforded for the study of nearly

THERE has been no change in the
coal strike situation in Pennsylvania
since last week. Both sides are ap-
parently as firm as ever. The miners
are still out and their leaders cay they
are able to keep up the struggle until
some of their demands are granted.
The operators maintain the position
they have held from the beginning,
that there is nothing to arbitrate or
compromise, and the miners will have
to surrender Internationally. The
big men of the financial and political
worlds have apparently ceased their
efforts to bring about a settlement.
In the meantime the stocks of an
thracite coal are growing smaller and
smaller, and cold weather is rapidly
coming on. The probability is that
by the time coal has gone couple of
dollars higher there will be a settle
ment of the strike, and the operators
will keep up prices 50 high that in a
couple of months they will get back
all the money they have lost.

Chairman Dawson Scared.

William NJ. O. Dawson, chairman
OF the Republican State committee,
who is also the Secretary of State of
West Virginia, is very much discour-
aged over the Republican outlook in
the State at the present time, and gave
expression to his sentiments the other
day in an interview.
"You may say for me" said Mr..
Dawson, with considerable emphasis,
that things are in pretty bad shape
for our party. In fact they could not
be much worse. You are somewhat
surprised, see, to hear me talk this
way on the eve of our campaign, but
l want to tell you that l mean just
what l say, and ought to speak even
more emphatically. The situation is
very discouraging, and l believe the
time has come when it is my duty to
speak out and let the Republicans
know what danger the party is in.
"In nearly every section of the
State there are party differences and
chickering's which bode disaster next
November if these fighting factions
do not get together. And they must
get together right away, if we expect
to carry our next Legislature and
elect our Congressional delegation. l
am in favor Of having the State COM
mittee take hold of these wrangles and
settle them if they cannot be straight
ened out by the quarreling factions.
Something must be done at once.
"Such a state of affairs is democrat
izing and discouraging all around. 1t
creates a dangerous amount of apathy.
1t is the best way in the world to
keep men away from the polls. You
will find, this being an off year, that
many good Republicans will show
their disapproval and disgust at these
small chickering's by indifference and
by remaining away from the polls. 1
see actual danger ahead unless some
degree of harmony is brought about
very speedily. 1t will require every
energy and resource of loyal Repub-
licans from now on to arouse the
party to that kind of united action
which will secure victory for US in
November"

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
ONE say red blood also comes
rom the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
