grabbed him. Heitner tried to lead
the goat out of the subway, but found
he had to push him. Billy was play

beautiful residence high on the hill
overlooking the business section OF
Fall River, is the mecca OF innumer-
able curious sightseers year after
year. Apparently the interest in the
Borden murders and the personality
of the daughter upon whose shoulders
guilt first fell never abated. A round
dozen prominent Fall River people
tell lie that, no Ratter where they
go, the minute tney mention that
their home town is Fall River, they
are greeted with bue one inevitable
question:
Whatever became of Lizzie Bor
den?"
Put Lizzie Borden First.
Fall River is noted for it's mills
its industries-its prominent people;
but they rank second in interest and
Importance to the question:
What about Lizzie Borden?"
Lizzie Borden comes and goes about
the city and in and out of it, un'
e., estioning and unquestioned. A few
years ago she discarded her carriage
and handsome pair for the finest
Limousine that money could buy. Sc
cure from observation in its richly
upholstered interior, she drives about
the city at dusk or goes to and from
the trains and takes trips around the
| surrounding country. All her shop
ping is done out Of town. She is a
frequent visitor in Boston, where she

istering as "Lisbeth Borden" al

| Crimes Never Forgotten.
The real attitude OF Fsal River
toward Lizzie Borden Is perhaps best
reflected In It's newspapers. Every
year, on the anniversary Of the
| crimes, the Fall River Globe prints a
vigorous article In regard to the mur'
ders, the perpetrator and the fact that
! the crimes remain an unavenged blot
| on the community. The articles are
| pointed SO strongly and SO openly al
one and only one person as to invite
suits for criminal libel, but If the
woman ever sees them or hears OF
them, she has made no sign.

EtHoW to Feed Your Horse -

Over one-haIf Of the diseases which
horses are subject to are caused by
wrong feeding Correct feeding is
really such a simple matter that there
is no reason why every horse should
not be fed properly. Violation of
one Of a few simple rules spells death
to thousands of horses every year.
It will pay every horse owner to learn
these rules by heart and put them
into practice. Here they are:
"Horse Feeding Rules"
I. Do not feed too much or too lit
tie. Feed just enough to hold the ami
mails weight while doing his work
properly. For 100o-pound horse on
full work normal ration is 10 pounds
of timothy or mixed hay and II
pounds Of cats a day.
2. Feed three times a day and at
the same time each day. Regularity
keeps the horse from fretting and
aids digestion.
8. Do not feed grain or water when
too warm and tired. Wait half an
hour, feeding little hay. When a
horse is too warm for water he is toe
warm for grain.
4. Water before feeding, except 6
little hay while cooling off. If you wa
ter after feeding the horse drinks toe
much and it ehiiIs the stomach and
interferes with digestion. Give al
the water he wants, but at the proper
time. Even very warm horse may
have a dozen swallows If he is KEEP
travelling for b while afterWard. Wa
ter too dirty or stale for you to drink
IS too dirty for your horse. Give clear
water only

Starting a Blackberry Patch.

New paintings Of blackberries
should be made just as soon as the
ground is free from frost and dry
enough to work with. Plant the cut
tings in rows, three feet apart in the
row, and have the rows from six to
eight feet apart Remember that
blackberries multiply and form a solid
row of canes in comparatively short
time, hence do not plant too thickly.
Blackberries win grow in almost
any soil, but it must BOT be too dry
a locatio5Aas they require a good deal
of water or the fruit will be dry and
pithy.
They seem to do better in a mod
erateIy good soil than in a very rich
| one, as excessive feeding produces
stalks and leaves instead of fruit.
The seed bed should be well pre-
pared and leveled before putting in
the cuttings. In setting, be sure to
get the earth firm about the cuttings,
and water occasionally during the
| first month.
Blackberries will need some cultiva.

One of the managers Of the Froh.
man forces met an old Kansas City
friend recently in New York, and each
being pleasantly surprised to see the
other, they decided to talk over old
times at a convenient bar. During
the course of the conversation the
manager volunteered to send two
complimentary tickets to the hotel to
the friends wife and sister to attend
matinee the following afternoon.
AS they parted the friend admon,
ished him not to forget to leave the
tickets as he had promised, and added
that he would better tie a string
around his finger to remind him.
The manager laughed and voiced his
thought

Sidelights Upon the Subject of
Rapidly Increasing Taxation

toned for by the towns, villages

tiou).
In 1913, the towns, villages and
cities in Grant county patitioned for
county aid for State and County high
ways, to the amount of $26, 1872. 81.
Therefore the county was compelled
to raise an equal amount, or $26, 792. :
81. The bridges on the same roads
as petitioned for, amounted to $6776 :
40, and the county was compelled to
raise an eqnal amount, or $6776. 40.
Then the county was compelled to
buy machinery to make these roads,
and the County Board appropriated
for this the SUN of $1,000 90 and to
build sheds to protect the same the
sum of $500 90. The same law com
pels the county to employ highway
commissioner at stated salary,

produce to sell and the demand is
greater than the supply.
The tremendous run of cattle in
Chicago and other points during the
last month has hardly had any effect
upon the price, in fact feeding cattle
are higher and one packer predicts
that before this winter is over choice
cuts of beef will sell of prices higher
than ever before.
Farmers should raise their calves;
if they do not. there will be a worse
cattle famine than there is now.
If all the beef cattle in Canada
were shipped into the United States
tomorrow it would only supply one
ounce and a quarter of meat per
person.
The farmer must hold his calves
and make them into beef: it will be
the only solution of the cattle in
dustry.
Next spring, the man looking for
cattle to put on grass will not find
them unless he is willing to pay an
exorbitant price.
Members of Congress recognizing
this cattle famine are framing laws
prohibiting the killing of calves in
order to produce more pounds of beef
in the older animal.
Grant county should, like other
leading counties in the state, be
represented at the State Fair every
year, where her products would soon
put her where she belongs, namely,
at the top of the list.
Today, Grant county leads in the
quantity and quality of her hogs.
Why not become a recognized cattle
producing county We have the max
ings of beef, why not the beef, the
answer is easy namely, quit the
of calves.

The Circuit Plan Of Drawing Supervi-
sion.

In order to allow the Lancaster
schools to determine by actual test
the value of the circuit system of
drawing supervision. which the Prang
Company of Chicago is maintaining.
Miss Ida M Tindall one of the travel.
ing supervisors of drawing in the EN-
ploy of that company spent the time
from Tueday noon to Wednesday noon
in the grades of this city teaching
drawing. in all the rooms and meet
ing with the teachers to give sugges-
tions and outlines Uf the work for the
coming month.
The Prang Company is a we'll
known firm. publishing art and draw
ing materials and greatly interested
in art education, especially in the
public schools. 1t has in it's employ
a number of expert supervisors whose
work has so attracted the attention of
school uperintendents that many re-
quests came to the company for the
services Of these teachers for part
time work during the year. 1t was,
therefore, thought advisable to es-
tablish circuit of cities to be visited
one day a month throughout the year.
The supervisor spends the day teach
ing all the grades, aud after school,
meets with the teachers to help with
problems of drawing. to give them
suggestions and ideas on drawing
material, and to prepare an outlne of
work that each teacher can do duri 1g
the month until the next monthly
visit
Such plan in Lancaster ought to
work successfully. Good work has
been done in drawing by all the
teachers, but monthly visit from
an expert can result in greater efici-
ency, more enthusiasm for the work
by reason of the new ideas presented,
and in more unified course of study
through the eight grades making the
work we'll graded and complete. and
preventing Implications. Such a
supervisor ought to be just as effective
in a school where all the teachers are
prepared to teach drawing, as in Lam
caster, as drawing teacher engaged
for the year. besides being very much
cheaper.
The managers of this circuit system
report that calls for assistance come
from cities and towns without super
visors. cities with mediocre super
visors, and cities with the best
supervisors. alike. These places with

Grant County is the Banner
County in the State of Wisconsin

The claim is made that Lafayette,
Green and Rock Counties are the
finest agricultural counties in the
State of Wisconsin.
This erroneous idea springs from
the fact that farm lands in these three
counties range from $135. 90 to 1926. OC
an acre.
AS a matter of fact, a careful
observer familiar with the counties
named and familiar with Grant
County can have no hesitation in i'm
mediately saying and saying truth
fully, that Grant county agricultural
lands are far richer, have a deeper
soil, better subs0il and better water.
The three counties named cannot
compare with Grant county in the
production of corn. neither can they
in the production of grass The
Swiss dairymen are largely response BILE
for the great value of Lafayette and
Green County lands. and cows range
in price from 800 90 to $1,000. Grant
county has the finest grazing lands to
be found in the United States.
The enormous crops raised in this
county this year, the vast number of
horses, cattle, hogs and other produce
that will be sold, will at the high
prices now paid bring in to Grant
county sum of money running into
the millions.
The banks in the county are
already showing great gain in in
creased deposits and without doubt
the high water mark in bank deposits
will be reached this winter. No
other county in the state has shown
such an increase in wealth in the past
ten years.
The money conditions of the east
cannot affect us here; we have the
