location several blocks away, where

ever. 1t has been traded by Mrs.

other property and he is moving into
the house while she has moved into
apartments in the Ishmael business

was good piece of wokr. The old
ware houses along side the tracks have
been torn down and removed and the
company built a new electric light

two away, which they gave to the
village for the old one that has
been torn down.

''Life's Shop Window"

When the curtain rises on the first
act of Life s Shop Window" which
will be presented at opera house on
Friday Oct. 81, the theatre goers of
this community will be treated to a
view of one of the NEST beautiful
scenes ever presented on any stage.
The scene represents ore of the great
ebay fields Of England and is con-
sidered masterpiece of stage pictures.
BY the cid farm house door is the
lilac bush, in full bloom. Over to
the right, one catches a glimpse of
the orchard and the fragrance of the
blossoms almost seem to perfume
the air. Far off in the distance is
the great hay field with the hay stacks
which are a reality on the stage,
fading off into dim outlines against
the reddening sky.
The scenery used in the entire four
acts of this beautiful play is far
above the average carried by the
best companies on the road.
The second and third acts of the
play take place in a ranch house in
Arizona which is unique and correct
in every detail.
The fourth act takes us to Pelham s
camp in the foot hills and is a
panoramic view of great beauty. Here
we see the dim outlines of the noun
tains in the far off distance. Out
across the barren prairie can be seen
the great cactus, for which that part
of the country is noted, while in the
foreground to the right and left rise
huge rocks and boulders adding to the
beauty and grandeur of this wierd
scene.

OUR DAIRY INTERESTS
ARE GROWING LARGE
Products Valued at Million and
a Half Yearly
Lancaster Creameries Rank Well at the
Head of all Those in Grant
County.

The month of October has been a
good one for the dairy interests of
Southwestern Wisconsin. The late
September rains followed by cooler
weather and plenty of rain later have
made the pastures luxuriant and the
yield of fine rich milk on Grant
county farms has been correspondingly
larger than usual at this time of year.
Grant county is steadily growing
into more prominence as a dairy
country, the annual product of its
creameries and cheese factories hav-
ing now reached about 81. 800. 600
probably more, rather than less. Re
ports from the various town, city and
village assessors as collated at the
office of the county clerk lack con-
siderable of being complete, but an
estimate based upon such reports as are
now on file make these figures seem
conservative.
Lancaster ranks second in the
county in the amount of butter manu-
featured, being topped only by the
big creamery of Him Bros. Co. at
Fennimore. with Boscobel ranking
third. Both Fennimore and Bosco.
bel, however. ship in considerable
cream to be made into butter there,
while the Lancaster creameries de-
pend upon the local cream product, so
that it is not improbable that the
amount of butter produced here may
be larger than that of any other single
community in the county.
The Oldest of the two creameries
here is that of Baxter & Draper. 1t

about an equal amount. Ten years
ago Baxter & Draper paid their farmer
patrons for butter fat in October
about So 600. In October CHS year
they will pay them about $4,000 As
Stunning that the two creamerIes are
not far from equal in the Amount of
business done it will mean that there
is paid out in Lancaster this month
about $18, 900 for cream. which is
surely very good showing.
The number of mich COWS con-
tributary to these two creameries is
estimated to be about 300 and the
number of patrons about 800. The
butter produced is a trifie less than
500, 600 pounds. annually, and the
value about $,27, 600.
The quality is high, testifying to
the ability of the butter makers and
the character of the plants, which
contain the most modern and improy-
ed appliances in their equipment.

SCHOOL NEWS.

To secure results from large classes
and with the greatest economy of
time and money. is the law of
effective school management in Lam
caster. 1t is the excessive amount
of both time and money involved that
would make 50 impracticable here,
the proposition of individual teaching
proposed by the Ladies Home Jour.
nal" about year ago. If the problem
in the high school was not that of
teaching effectively .150 pupils in
more than thirty branches by six
teachers at just as low a cost and in
just as little time as possible, but of
teaching only a handful Ct pupils in
a very few subjects and without con.
sideration for expense, the whole
system of management would be re-
volutionized. But with conditions
as they are at present, all regulations
and policies of the school must he
with the object Of teaching many
pupils many things in little time
and at little cost. Anything that in
terferss in any way, with that OBJ
jtct can not be tolerated
The standards and the require
ments Of the high school are all fixed
with this in view. If many pupils
are to be handled we'll in one class,
all of them mus have had practically
the same preparation and must be of
nearly the same ability; very good
pupils together with very poor pupils,
do not make a good class. Con-
siderable difficulty is experienced
because country school graduates enter
classes with the better prepared
graduates of the ninth grade 1t has
been found necessary, consequently,
to establish the rule that pupils so
unprepared that they can not carry at
least two of their four subjects sue
cessfully, are returnable to the ninth
grade. Wide experience and almost
universal practice show that four
subjects a year ere a fair require
ment cf all pupils if person is not
able to duthis, the conclusion is that
he can not do high school work, and
in the name of school efficiency, as
interpreted above, has no right to
enrolment in high school classes
Nothing but confusion could result,
if every pupil were to take only as
many subjects as he pleased four is
a good number for everyone to carry.
Good results not only demand that
all pupils in the class must have the
same preparation and ability, but
also the same purpose, "a desire to get
a good high school education. Pupils
are not compelled by law to attend.
as in the grades; if they come, it is
evidently with an object. The very
fact that they enter school is taken
as evidence that they mean "busi-
ness. = But if any student, by his
actions or by his indisposition to work,
shows that his object is not serious,
but contrary to that cf the rest of the
class, he is a hindrance to that class,
and as such, has no right to expect

WHAT MILWAUKEE THINKS
OF JUDGE CLEMENTSON

A long tire ago-about fifteen or
twenty years maybe-Judge George
Clements0n came to Milwaukee to
preside over the trial of an important
case There were lot of big legal
lights In that case-some of the
biggest lawyers in the state and two
or three attorney friends of the Judge
thought to warn him.
Look out for So and So, judge"
they told him. They are tough
propositions; when it comes to the
law-well, they know about all the
law there is
MAKES NO REPLY.
The judge made no reply, but went
in and tried the case. 1t was a long
case and hard one and there was
not an attorney in Milwaukee but
who heard what happened in that
trial.
So now, whenever Judge Clement
son comes to town. the older at
torneys, before sending their clerks
and younger partners into court, call
them into their Offices.
Look out for Judge Clementson, -
is the warning. He is a tough
proposition for lawyers Don
spring anything unless you are sure of
your ground. "
An attorney in the municipal court
was examining a juror to determine
whether he was qualified to serve and
the lawyer asked many questions He
wanted to know whether the juror
knew that reasonable doubt is and he
consumed much time in asking many
questions. Finally he got down to
the question of bias and prejudice.
Can you define bias - the at
torney asked the juror.
Judge Clementson, at this ques-
tion, sat up and raised a hand.
JUDGE TAKES HAND.
Mr.. Attorney" he said, 1.-THE
juror will not answer that question.
Questions of that sort are frivolous
and you are only taking up time of
the court There is no reason why
this juror should define bias If
about half of the attorneys were asked
to define the word they would have to
run to the dictionary.
The court proceeded to examine the
jurors himself and in about thirty
minutes twelve men were sworn in.
Court procedure in Wisconsin
needs but little revising says Judge
Clementson. If the courts will see
that there are no delays for unneces-
sary reasons court business may be
disposed of with despatch. Attorneys
are allowed to ask too many foolish
questions. They take up too much
time with irrelevant and immaterial
questions.
ONLY A HABIT.
All of this is only habit of the
attorneys aud if they are held down
by the court they will proceed as
rapidly rs one could desire.
In my district we haven time to
waste in that way. Our juries are
farmers mostly and they are always
anxious to get out of the court and
back to their work. And we try to
see that they are not detained longer
than necessary and the best way to do
this is to curb the attorneys. Mil
