Views and Interviews.

A. J. Howell: Those barber IL
censes are the cheapest things |
ever saw and are all shoddy. They
must have cost 4 cents gross.
Every farmer: We need a
month of warm dry weather to
ripen the corn.
L. G.. Hickok: Within three
years one-half of the water pipes
in Lancaster will have to be re-
laid, and it will mean lots OF
trouble, inconvenience and expense.
The pipes are already giving out,
rust playing havoc with the iron
of which they are made. Platte
ville's pipes are lead and will last
a life time.
