Institutes COVERING Sub
jects Will Be Held at
Points in County

A farmers institute will be held
here on Saturday, April 10th. IN the
court room at the court house. The
speakers will talk mostly on the SUBJ
jects of potato and clover growing.
1t will be one Of series OF meetings
to be given at a humber of towns and
villages in Morrison county between
April 2 and Is, according to letter
received from Supt. Wilson of the
Farmers Institutes.
Following are the places and time
that institute meetings will be held
at:
D1xville-Friday, April 2, / 80
p, m.
Royalton-Saturday, April 8, 10 a.
m. and 80 p. IN.
Randall-Tuesday, April +, 80

Mr.. Wilson writes that posters will
be sent to the several towns, and
that letters will be sent to as high as
1900 farmers in the county if names
Of that many farmers are sent hlm by
the Commercial club, in order that
there will be large attendances at each
of the meetings.
Glover and potatoes are OF great
Importance to this section Of Mime
sofa and every farmer should endeavor
to know more about them. There IS
no place where potatoes do SO well as
on a clover sod so that these two crops
should be worked together; naturally
the raising 0f clover means more live
stock to make use of the roughage.
G. E. Brown of Elk River, Mimi
and L.. E. Scott of Stanley, WIS. will
attend the institute ana give instruc-
tiOn on all lines of work connected
with these two valuable crops If
there IS anything you want to know
about the growing and saving Of
clover or the production OF clover seed
they can probably tell you about 1T.
IT you want to know about the kind OF
potatoes to grow, the selection of the
seed, treatment OF scab cultivation,
prevention Of blight, the harvesting or
marketing of potatoes, Or co operation,
then be sure. to attend this petatoe
and clover institute
1t would be great thing for the
potato growing district of Minnesota
if something could be done to get the
farmers to grow only certain varieties,
instead of each farmer growing any
kind he may be able to get seed OF,
and sometimes two or three varieties
mixed together It IS a well known
fact that carload OF potatoes care
fully graded, and made up OF single
variety will bring much better
price than will carload Of mixed
stock.
We understand that the farmers
institute management is in favor OF
getting local clubs formed at the
different places where they hold special
potato ana clover Institutes. The
members Of each club agree to grow a
certain variety Of potatoes, and at the
regular club meetings the various
questions relating to potato growing
and other farm operations are dis
cussed. If you are interested in this
matter bring it up at the institute or
write to Supt. A. D. Wilson, Universi.

MEMORY OF LINCOLN
FITTINGLY CHERISHED
Public Meeting to be Held at
Reeds Opera House.
Centenary of Great Emancipator's Birth
Will be Observed in Lancas-
ter Next Friday.

The Tooth anniversary of the birth
of Abraham Lincoln, one of the
noblest figures in American history,
will occur on Friday, February 10,
and the nation will do homage to his
memory. In hundreds of the cities of
our country it has become the custom
to celebrate Lincoln's birthday each
year with great meetings and ban
quets, upon which occasions the
memory of the martyred president is
kept green by eloquent speeches and
other appropriate features.
This year it is expected that all
previous demonstrations will be sur
passed and tributes to his memory
will be offered we'll nigh universally
throughout the country.
: The Herald has upon several occa-
sions recently described at some
length the exercises which will
characterize this years commemora-
ton. In our last weeks issue we
showed a picture of the log cabin in
which Abraham Lincoln was born, in
Kentucky, also the beautiful memorial
building to be erected, the corner
stone of which will DE laid next
Friday with an address to be deliver
ed by President Roosevelt.
The program was also published in
the Herald last week for the exercises
to be held in Reeds opera house here
next Friday evening and those to be
held at the high school in the after
noon.

BORN ISOO-DIED 1865
SHOWS WERE A SUCCESS
"PunchineIIo's Entertainment Shop
and 'King Winters's Carnival
Last Week.

The home talent show given at
Reed s opera house last Friday and
Saturday evenings, under the auspices
of the ladies of the Cemetery Associa-
ton, was most successful and en-
ioyable affair. The drilling of the
children for the various marches,
dances, etc. entailed lot of work for
the ladies in charge of them, but
the result reflects great credit upon
their ability, patience and skill.
Many of the numbers were of especial
excellence but where all did SO we'll
it would scarcely be fair to par
t1cularize. The attendance was more
than satisfactorily large, the cash
receipts on Friday night being 1924. 10
and on Saturday night, when the same
performance was repeated, $40. The
latter sum more than paid all ex-
penses, so the Cemetery Association
treasury receives nice addition to
it's contents. The event again demon
strates that Lancaster possesses in its
young people more than ordinary
talent for work of this kind

State Park Board Reports Results of It's
Investigations to the Wisconsin
Legislature

The state park board, composed Of
T. E. Birmingham, Madison Senator
E. E. Browne, Waupaca and w. H.
McFetridge, Baraboo, has submitted
its first annual report to the legIsla-
ture, recommending the establishment
oe four parks, but taking cogn izance
of a number of other desirable lncalI-
ties which should be purchased some
time In the future. The recommen-
datIons are
1. To authorize the state park,
board to secure as soon as may be, the
refusal of such property as would con-,
stitute the most attractive reservation
in connection with the Dells of Wis
consin, and to do all that is possible
to check any further action that would
impair the beauty of the dells fo4
park purposes.
2. To empower the state park
board to make an official investigations
of the DEVILS lake region, with au--
thority to acquire all the wild land
up, say, 8, 600 acres, at rate not to-
exceed an average of $25, an acre, and
as much Of the level lard around the
lale as possible at a rate not to exceed
$50, 900.
4. To authorize the board to ac-~
quire the land in Grant county neaE
Wyalusing, at the junction of the
Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers.
'Other sites, such as Thunder
Mountain, Blue Mounds and Platte
Noun s, are all worthy of future in
spection, says the report. But
the four selected by the state park
board are peculiarly qualiisd for
immediate consideration and action. e

pages, over one half of which are de-
voted to photographs of sites vi tied
