goo sold. The remaining purchases were
small ones.
During the sale 3.425 city lots were dis
posed Of and 1850 county parcels. AT the
beginning of the sale there were 10000
pieces or property on hand. Many of the
iotS, however, were redeemed before
reached. All not redeemed or sold were
Did In by the District. The number of
lots sold exceeded the number disposed OF
last year by about 600.
The sale was remarkable for the absence
Of the wild cat bidding that has char
acterized many of the sales In years past.
Heretofore two persons interested In q GER
tain piece Of property were allowed to bid
up the modest sum for which the land
was advertised to fabulous figures.
They were safe in doing this. for they
were certain the property would be re-
deemed before two years should elapse
This year the new law provided that the
amounts bid for property, including any
surplus. should be Immediately paid into
the treasury OF the District The total OF
surplus bids was but $500, the largest single
item being 500.

dent will be given an old-fashioned

zerland Aug. s, 1926, and when II
years of age emigrated with her par
ents to America. In the year 1849,
she was married to John Engroff
and for number of years lived on
a farm about five miles from Ian
caster on the Platteville road. A
few years ago her husband died and
tired of rural life she came to live
with her daughter, Mrs Kate Durni.
Mrs. Engroff was of quiet, re-
firing disposition, sympathetic, kind
hearted and an excellent neighbor.
The mother of eleven children, nine
of whom survive, she developed
those home qualities which shine so
conspicuously in the life of a devot-
ed mother. No sacrifice was too
great to promote the welfare Of her
children and it was cheerfully made.
In her early life amid the religious
atmosphere of the home she learned
to trust in God and in quiet, un-
ostentatious manner served God and
exhibited life of fidelity to noble
aims, high ideals and Christian con-
sistency. She was ready for her
transition to the home above and
when the summons came she sank
gently to sleep, and awoke to behold
the grandeur of the land of fadeless
sunshine.
On Friday last brief funeral ser
vices were held at the home of Mrs.
Durni of this city conducted by her
former pastor, Rev. T. J. Brown, of
Fond du Lac, assisted by the Rev.
w. J. G. Ralph. Mrs. Hastings,
Miss Matte Rogers and Edward
Hyde discoursed sweet music. Her
body was inferred in the cemetery
by the side of her husband, at the
Aupperle church.

A GOOD ADVERTISING MEDIUM.

An exchange of last week had
timely and very sensible article in re-
gard to the demands which are made
upon the merchants for contribu-
tions, especially at his season OF the
year. We presume Lancaster is
not exceptional, but it is certain
that the demands here are very
numerous and pressing. Merchants
are asked to contribute to every sort
of enterprise and entertainment,
and their refusal to do SO is never
very graciously received. Their
liberality is proverbial, but the
burdens imposed upon them are
often heavier than they ought to be
compelled to bear. While it is the
duty of every citizen to be public
spirited and aid in all reasonable
ways all movements which are in
the interest of the whole or some
portion of the community, yet there
is limit to what they ought to be
called upon to do.
But in this connection the Herald
very properly calls attention to the
fact that business men often show
very poor judgment and submit fire.
uuently to being victimized when
there is no occasion for doing so.
One of the most common methods
of trying to secure money from the
the business community, is through
advertising schemes, many OF which
possess no merit whatever, being OF
no benefit to the advertiser Fake
advertising schemes are being con-
stantly pressed upon the business
public Circulars, programmes, cat
alogues, and all conceivable kinds
of advertising dodgers are presented
to business men for support. News
papers without influence or circula-
ton give advertising in return for
trade, getting all they can and tax
ing what they can get for space in
their columns which is altogether
worthless. Hundreds of dollars per
year are spent by Lancaster mer-
chants in helping along these fake
advertising schemes, which are Of
no interest to the advertiser
While it may be difficult for the
liberal minded merchant to refuse
help to worthy enterprises and en-
tertainments appealing to him for
support, he can easily and with en-
tire justice and propriety refuse to
be bled by these fake advertising
schemes. If he would do this he
would save considerable annoyance
and expenditure. Advertising in
these days is an art as we'll as
necessity. When judiciously per-
formed it brings large returns. it is
an essential to business success, but
it must be done with discrimination
and good judgment An advertise
ment is good for nothing unless it is
read. 1t will not be read unless it
be presented in the proper place and
manner. The great merchants OF
the country in the large cities have
by almost unanimous consent de-
'cided that the best paying advertis-
ing is that published in reputable
Journals which are issued regularly,
and are constantly sought for by
the people. The merchants of Lam
caster will do we'll to profit by the
experience of their sagacious and
successful brethren in the largest
cities and refuse to expend their
money for advertising where it will
bring them little or no return.
