Next Friday the school children
of Muscoda will hold an out-of-d doors
May fete. There will be May

and other appropriate exercises.
There will be class play, but
that is about the only social activity
to be furnished by the local high
school before commencement, and the
date for the presentation of the play
has not been decided upon.
The R. C. club was entertained
at the home of Patrick May on last
Thursday evening. Music, card play
! ing and an informal dance were on
the program. Those who were in at
tendance declare it was a delightful
occasion.
Several of our exchanges are out
with warnings to their readers to be-
ware Of peddlers. And this is no bad
advice. The home merchant is good
enough. Tell him your commercial
troubles; he has the goods and you
know they are right, as a general
thing.
Lancaster schools will hold COM
mencement exercises on Friday, June

20, week before the other villages
and cities in this county, so far as
heard from. ST. Clara College,
Sinsinnawa, has its closing exercises
on June 4.
1t is reported from Madison that
the state park over in Wyalusing is
to be quite a bit improved this
summer. This fine tract of land,
known as the Glenn farm, will in
time become the handsomest park in
this entire country. 1t is said that
roads are to be laid out and improved,
and that about $40, 900 will be ex-
pended in making permanent better
ments.
Beginning July 1, the rural mail
carriers who have full routes-full in
mileage -will receive the comfortable
and comforting salaries of 81 200
per year. That's not bad medicine
for the boys who carry mail to the
farmer folk. John Heileger played
in hard luck in the raise. His route
is adjudged just about one third of a
mile short of regulation, so he does
not participate in the full raise.
That one-third of a mile costs him
about three dollars month.
Like the army that marched up
the hill and then marched down again,
the newly elected county school board
met at the court house, Tuesday and
Wednesday of last week. When they
met, they were marching up the hill ;
and then they adjourned did
nothing else thereby making good
the old satire 1t is said that a
quantity of talk was made, but moth
ing definite was done. There seems
to be a general impression that this
board was elected, pledged not to
organize. Be that as it may, one
member of the board told the Herald
man that the impression about the
pledge not to organize was not quite
true. He said he never had pledged
himself to do anything. And ne is
of the sort to know what he promises.
M. P. Rindlaub, the veteran
newspaper man of Platteville, was in
Lancaster last week Thursday looking
over the town. He made a fraternal
call on the Herald force, and during
the course of very interesting con-
versation related many incidents con-
nected with the early history of Ian
caster and the Herald. For Mr..
