PASSED FROM THIS LIFE
Ezekiel III. Mckinney.

Ezekiel H. Mckinney was born in
Lewiston, Cumberland county, South
Carolina, November 81, 1916, and passed
from this life on the 10th day of Janu-
airy, 1910. He was the Oldest son of
William and Lucinda Mckinney. At
an early age he came with his parents
to Illinois, and when he had reached
his eighteenth year, to Wisconsin.
They settled in British Hollow, Grant
county, in which county deceased spent
the greater portion of his life. His
occupation was that of mining. On
December II, 1884, he was married to
Miss Mary Ann Dean of EIenbora,
Grant county. FIVE children were
born to this union, four sons and one
daughter. Mrs. Mckinney died May
16, 1860, and the sons also are de-
ceased; the daughter is living at Vincoe,
Oklahoma.
On March Both, 1862, Mr.. Mckinney
was married to his second wife, Miss
Nancy Moore. Four children blessed
this union-three daughters and one
son; one daughter died in infancy. On
January 30, 1869, he was again widow
ed and has since made his home with
his two daughters. The two daughters,
who survive this union, are Mrs. w. ].
Bridges and Mrs. Alfred Kaump, both
of Mineral Point, and the son, who
survives, is Mr.. Benjamin H. McKin-
ney of Prairie du Chen.
Mr.. Mckinney died at the home of
his daughter, Mrs Alfred Kaump, at
the advanced age of "a years, one
month and sixteen days. The funeral
services were held from the home of
Mrs. Kaump Tuesday afternoon and
were conducted by Rev. S. A. Bender,
with interment in GraceIand cemetery
The text of the sermon, as suiting the
noble character of the deceased, was:
'Let me die the death Of the righteous
and my last end be like His" Num-
bers 23:10.

Leyeled the Snow Banks on
High Street.

The street foreman with a force of
men and team and large scraper on
Tuesday leveled over the great snow
banks on High street.
Now, if property owners will clear
out and keep clear the water tables,
the business portion of the town will
be ready for thaw or breakup. This
work can best be done by the property
owners themselves, because after the
cutters are once cleaned out they need
continual watching and care to prevent
them from filling up again.
Never before has there been at one
time quite so much snow in the streets
of Mineral Point.

THE HIGH TARIFF MEN EXPOSE
THE RAPACIOUS FARMER.

The Lodge investigating COM
mittee appointed by the Aldrich-
ties of the Senate to find some
thing besides tariff upon which
to blame the higher cost of living
has made its report. Senator
Lodge, representing the New
England manufacturers, who
get most of the benefits of the
high tariff, finds that the tariff
has been mo material factor in
causing the advance in prices
during the past decade" He re-
gretfully admits that prices have
advanced, but announces posi-
lively that the trusts and the
stSrif have done their best to
keep prices down..
After five months of investi-
cation he finds that the high
prices are caused by the farmers.
He charges them with rushing
up the price of eggs 100 per
cent, of bacon 20 per cent, of
ham one-third, of flour half as
much again. Mr.. Lodge, Mr..
Aldrich, and their manufacturer
friends, who have done all they
could to aid the consumer by
raising the tariff and enabling
him to pay more for everything
be buys, are indignant at the
way the farmer has acted.
To read the Lodge report you
would Judge that the farmer is
rolling in wealth. He must have
been piling up his ill-gotten
gains like hay-mounds in the
fields, while the poor New Eng
land manufacturer and the
struggling New York railroad
owners must worry along with
. few millions Of dollars apiece,
and have to ride in automobiles
and private cars: the farmer
mocks them as he rolls by in his
palatial one-horse wagon on his
way to the village store, where
he sells ten dozen eggs at a pro-
fit Of eight cents a dozen. The
average farmer is now piling up
wealth at the rate of 1912 a year
He will DO shocked and surprised,
he will gnash his teeth in rage.
when he finds that Lodge has
exposed him as a malefactor of
great wealth.
Or, the farmer may be like the
ultimate consumer and consider
the Lodge report as the political
joke Of the season. Baltimore
Son.

X ON THE FARM.

Yes, it is all right to keep the
girls as well as the boys on the
farms, a. Mr. Cohill advocated
ct the meeting of Governor
Crothers' Farmers Commission,
but the girl has rights as we'll as
the farm, says the Baltimore
American. Between sewing and
hoeing, cooking and milking,
there is not much time left for
cultivating the muses. and keep
ing in the social whirl. But it
il the only really regulated life,
a. the farm life for men is the
only seally regulated life for that
sex. All else is artificial. The
necessity is not to keep the
women folks on the farms SO
that when a girl is ready to wed
she will not be on the look out
for q town cheap or when she
marries a farmer seek the first
thing the get him to sell out and
60 to town. The thing needed
il to make farm life more COM
peniable. to make it more cheer
full, to break in upon it's mono
tony with more leisure and en-
joynent. The country girl con-
tracts her lot with that of the
city girl and gets disconnected.
But when it comes 10 work she
ID apt to have the better end of
the argument.
BY all means keep the girls on
the farm and out of the factories
keep them on the farm and pre-
vent them from becoming the
merest light-headed preys of
vanity; keep them on farms and
let them rear the generations of
sturdy men who shall take the
place Of men Of affairs who come
from the country and are doing
the real work Of city life. The
next ten years will mean better
FARMING, more Of it and better
profits than the past decade, and
the farmer girl will share in the
broadeaed benefits. Then when
shs goes away to college she
"ill not yearn to become a music
tsacher or a choir singer in town.
but will be glad to return home
and make her individuality play
IN a. environment.
