Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1907-06-22


this green earth are the grumblers.
They rob home of its joys, society
of its dues, and themselves OF the
best things of life From the days
the children of Israel ''grumbled"
and were sent ON their tedious
wanderings, for forty years In the
wilderness" up TO the present hour
the world has been full of grumbl-
ers. 1t is too hot'' or TOO cold"
or dry" People in reasonable
circumstances have visions OF the
poor houses, while the rich grumble
that they can't get rich faster.
That climatic conditions have
much to do with the mental cOndi-
ton of people is evidenced by the
wet cold spring and early summer
that characterizes the present year.
Warm sunny days cause the human
temperatures to rise, the world to
seem happy and gay while the cold
wet days, the dreary ones with
clouds and cold, cause the human
barometers to drop to the lowest
ebb. If man is grumpy and cross,
if the child is petulent and tickle lay
it to the weather and do not believe
that the nature of the individual is
naturally crabid and sour.
As indicating the continued
growth of the Modern Woodmen
society, it is interesting to knew
that for the first time in its history
the society receipts for the month
amounted to more than one million
dollars, in the month of April. The
exact amount received in the April
month, as reported by Head Clerk
Halves was 81, O2O. 1913 So. This was
for the March assessment RENTED
by clerks of camps to the head clerk
in April, but it also includes re-
mittances for supplies and miscel-
laneous remituances.
"A woman cannot be too careful
in the treatment OF man. Tit said
that a woman here is an old maid
because she at one time laughed at
her lover when she saw him wearing
a little apron in lodge parade.
He had been patient with her
caprices and tempers for some time,
but to laugh at the sacred emblem Of
his lodge, little apron that looked
as if it were kitchen apron which
had shrunked in the wash to its
present size was too much!
GAINESVILLE has been struck by a
real estate boom after several years
of inactivity. Two firms, one from
Cincinnati and the other from Peoria
have purchased large tracts of land
for the purpose of lot sales South
GAINESVILLE, adjacent to the new
Northwestern asserting yards, is
being plated and three other plats
have been made of property within
the city limits.
"A Bristow, Ia, school teacher,
arrested on the charge of having
spanked several of the girl pupils
of his school, was placed on trial
for his misdemeanOr and acquitted.
Following this his salary was raised
by the school board Spanking
promises to become a favorite diver
sion with the pedagogues from now
on.
The Milwaukee crowd travel in
a most luxurious train of 9 coaches,
ali of standard capacity. The train
was in charge of Asst. Supt. Reiner
and Conductor Fred Lester. Two
engines were required to haul it.
The train left here at 6 a. m. and
made two stops on the homeward
journey-Dodgevllle and Mt. Horeb.
The hot weather pitchers who
have complained of their inability
to throw winning bali on account of
the chilly atmosphere will now
have to come up with the goods as
Old Sol is doing his share toward
making the atmosphere resemble a
furnace fire.
The cost of hauling crops to
market is enormous. The cost of
wagons. horses, harness and time is
immense but if done over bad roads
the expense is more than double, if
there is one bad place. We should
have better roads with the bad places
all fixed up.
-Lancaster's wool market is wide
open-nO trust here-and the three

wool they can. T. f. Orion, Baxter
