A silver 1O.cent piece will be all
that you will need to start a savings
account with Uncle Sam when the new
postal savings banks are installed
throughout the country. The plan is
this:
Uncle Sam wants to encourage
thrift among persons earning small
wages He wants the child, as we'll
as the grown up, to learn to save.
Many persons spend their pennies
The postal pank will receive only
regular deposits of 81.
To encourage the savings Of the
squandered pennies, however, the

FEATURES OF THE LAW.
Some of the features of the posta
savings bank law are:

THE GREAT BATTLE
OF GETTYSBURG
The Past Week Marked It's 18th
Anniversary.
Several Wisconsin Regiments and Many
Grant County Men Took Part
in the Battle.

Several Lancaster war veterans
encircle July on their calendar with
red mark. Their excuse for so do
ing is that fortyseven years ago on
that date certain battle was fought,
which will be written of. in detail,
as long as mankind preserves the art
of transferring historic events TO
paper.

sions.
| His article follows:
Forty seven years ago on Friday.
July /. the initial shot was fred III
one of the greatest battles ever fought
in any age, that of Gettysburg
Gen. Buford's cavalry uncovered
the enemy for the union side and
Gen. Hills corps for the confederate
side. The First Infantry bridgads
engaged contained three Wisconsin,
regiments the Second, Sixth, ana
Seventh. and on no other field did
these three regiments fight more
heroically and effectively. Thus
Wisconsin began the great battle after
B uford's calvary had lifted the veil.
The first days fighting by the First
and Eleventh corps made it possible
for the balance of Gen. Meade's army
to come up and take position on the
heights and render certain the battle
Of Gettysburg.
Other Wisconsin regiments at
Gettysburg were the Third infantry
in the Twelfth corps, the Fifth in
the Sixth corps and the Twenty sixth
in the Eleventh CORP. and company
of Berdan s sharpshooters at large.
While some of the most effective
fighting ever done was Witnessed ON
the field of Gettysburg, no historian
has yet claimed, and probably no
historian ever will claim, that any
troops fought with more telling effect,
more unselfshly more heroically than
the men from Wisconsin.
On the second day was fought the
engagement which made it possible to
save the Round Tops on the left. Had
they been taken by Gen. Longstreet,
Gen Meade's army would have BEEN
compelled to retire disastrously from
Gettysburg. On the third day was

the last discharge of a cannon on tue
third day, in the faces of Pickett's

one of the most gallant soldiers that
ever put on a uniform. Lieut. Alonzo
Fl. Cushing, native of Wisconsin,.
who had command of battery of thu
Fourth United States artillery. He
had been wounded three times, and ga
the roar of the cannon died away
brave Cushing fell to the ground and

Thus it will be seen that Wisconsim

THE WEATHER FOR JULY.
Both Temperature and Rainfall Will be

The long distance forecasters who
predicted plenty Of rain for June

country followed ON the 9Th to 9th by
destructive thunder storms, with
wind and hail in many places.
Another hot spell will extend over
the lake regions from the 10th to the
14th. From the 10th to 10th heavy
storms of wind, rain and hail will
prevail with local thunder storms
This period will be followed by cool
weather on the 23rd. Fine season
able weather will prevail. A rain
period from the Gath to 9th Will
bring general storms with possible
tornadoes. This will be followed in
the closing days of the month by hot
sultry weather. Great heat will be
felt at this time, with possible local
thunder storms that will cause much
destruction.

1927 and came to the little western
village of Lancaster when but 26
years old. His sole resources at that
time were an indomitable spirit of
industry and a keen business instinct
neither of which he ever lost.
A healthy young man possessing
such resources needs no financial

will achieve success in whatever line
of work he cares to take up. A few
months after his arrival here the
young easterner had obtained suffici
ent capital to enter into a business
partnership with John P. and Simon
E. Lewis. This firm conducted a
general merchandise store north of the
court house where "The Hub store
now stands.
The enterprise was successful and
it was not long before the business
ability of George W. Ryland was
recognized throughout this section.
In 1851 he started a private banking
business in partnership with ]. G.
Holloway. The bank was first locat-
ed on the corner of Madison and Maple
street east of the court house. In 1871
it was moved to white brick build
ing on Maple street between Madison
and Monroe. From the first the
public placed great confidence in the
bank.
In 1875 Mr.. Holloway withdrew
and Mr.. Ryland continued the bust
ness alone until October, 1880 when
Richard Meyer, who had been cashier
of the bank for some time, and his
son, r. Meyer Jr. were admitted to
partnership. MIR. Ryland withdrew
in 1887 and the following year helped
to found the State Bank of Grant Co.,
of which he was vice president. At
the time of the union of the two local
banks he retired from business.
During all this time he had been
active in village, town. county and
state politics. For sixteen years he
was chairman of the town board and
for thirteen years county chairman.
He was treasurer of the village in
1857-58. trustee, 1859 90; president,
1901 and postmaster under Presi-
dents Lincoln and Johnson.
In politics he was always an ardent
republican. In 1872 he was delegate
to the Philadelphia convention which
nominated U. s. Grant FOR president.
In 1908 he was a member of the
state senate.
Three years later he had become

him saw that he had lost sense of his
surroundings and that the faces at
the ringside were a blur TO him. His
time had come. He was feeling what
he had caused others to feel in the
days of his youth and power.
TOO OLD TO COME BACK"
The soothing liquids were applied
to the fallen champion s bruised face,
but his heart was something that
could not be reached. AS soon as he
regained his sense Of persons and of
the rapid fire events that had pushed
him into oblivion he took his head
in his hands and groaned:
II am not good fighter any longer.

not come back. Ask johnson If he
will give me his gloves
AS soon as the men left the ring the
crowd began the destruction of the
ring. The ropes we're cut into bits,
the canvas ripped up and shipped into
small pieces, and even the staples that
held the canvas were unscrewed and
taken as souvenirs.
An instant after the crowd realized
the the fight was over the ring Yves
stamped by wild throng. The short
end betting men were hilarious, but
in the great mass of the spectators,
there was feeling of personal loss
Hope had lived in thousands of breasts
until the last minute and now their
idol had crumbled and this black man
stood PEERLESS. They could not help
but admire him and there was little
luminosity shown toward him. For
the most part the people we're silent,
just readjusting things in their minds
Hundreds swallowed the bitter pill of
heavy financial loss.

Edison to Aid Farmers.

Thomas A. Edison has written d
magazine article in which he calls
attention to the fast that electricity is
the only thing which has become any
cheaper in the last ten years. Mr..
Edison believed, moreover, that the
uses of electricity are simply in their
infancy. He states that he is ashamed
of the number of things around "my
house and shops that are done by
animals human beings, I mean) and
ought to be done by motor without
my sense of fatigue or pain He
pledges himself to use his marvellous
inventive ability to make electricity
do all these chores in the near future.
Mr.. Edison g article is of interest
to the farmer because he believes that
Notwithstanding the fact that cleo
tricity has come to the aid of the
farmer in large measure already
merely beginning has been made.
He contends that there is absolutely
no reason why horses should be al
lowed within city limits and argues
that they are even unnecessary in the
country. The worst use of money
is to make a fine thoroughfare and
then turn it over to horses, says Mr..
Edison and argues for the adoption of
automobiles for all transportation and
traffic. According to his prediction the
time is not far distant when all man
ner of farm work in which horses are
now used will be done by motor
power. This will have an appreciable
effect on the cost of production, but
Mr.. Edison does not stop with this.
He believes that electricity will
ultimately result in dispensing with
