in favor Of concrete roads II am 4

Statistics show that it costs from $500
to 5000 per year for maintenance
Of ordinary roads, whereas concrete
roads are maintained at from SIS to $50

there should be no doubt as to what

get the good roads"

money and then We can decide what

trust the commissioners to get the very
best that our money can buy. We are
asking for S750000. I wish it were

D. A. R. MEMBERS EXPLAIN
THE FIASCO OF MONDAY

Members Of the D. A. r have made
an explanation OF the incidents con-
nected with the failure of the Anti
Suffraget Girls" baseball team to play
at Rio Grande park on Monday in con-
nection with the Flag day sports
IAN explanation is certainly due the
public" declared Mrs J. W. Lorentzen,
and it has been an unfortunate mis-
understanding that has put the D. A r.
in a bad light
When the committee first arranged
to have 4 burlesqus game, we were in
formed that all the local banks would
a team Of bank boys arranged to take
the part of the girls On Thursday
we were informed that there would be
no bank holiday and were then prom
ised a team Of lawyers. We were pos
itively assured that we could rely upon
this team and you can imagine our cha
grin when they failed to appear. though
we were assured as late as o'clock
Monday afternoon that they would be
on hand Afterward we found that It
was impossible for the boys to get
there.
when the burIesque game failed to
go on, We put on the second game be-
tween the Krackaj lacks and company
3 OF the Sixth infantry"
Mrs. Mary Ross Keister stated that
she had waited until the second game
started and was rather surprised when
no announcement was made that the
arranged that this announcement
would be made before the second game
had started
Regarding the statement that some
member Of the committee stated that
the Anti Suffregets have missed their
train connections I may have said that
myself, but I don't know" said Mrs. Lo-
rentzen- I do know that we had sew
eral inquiries about the time the game
would start and we were trying TO aD-
pease the fans and get them TO wait
for we still had hope Of putting on the
burlesQue We were more disappOint-
ed than any one else when the lawyers
failed to appear. Personally, I didn't
even have the heart to go into the
grandstand.
TT is very unfortunate that no an
nouncement was made but We arranged
to have one made and 7 thought that
It had been done"

and beauty, says: Those dfsagreeabIe
and unsightly hairs can be permanently
removed without injury to the most de-
icate skin. by using simple sulfo soIu-
ton This solution is applied with the
tips Of the fingers. keeping the parts
moist until the hairs are actually dis
solved This writer advises against
the use OF powders and pastes which
only burn the hairs off at the roots
leaving the skin rough and sore, while
this simple sulfO solution leaves the
skin soft, smooth and white 1T Is
really wonderful" says Miss Suratt

A RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION.

| Years ago a man who asked his fam
lily physician for a recipe for long life
received a prescription which differed
from ordinary prescriptions in two
particulars. 1t was written in Eng
lish, not in Latin, and it had nothing
to do with drugs.
Despite the progress which medi-
cine has made in the past quarter Of
century, this prescription is as likely
to receive the highest sanction today
as when it was written. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Don't worry. seek peace and pur-
sue it."
Don't hurry. "Too swift arrives as
taridly as too slow"
Sleep and rest abundantly. 1.-THE
best physicians are DR.. Diet, DR.. Quiet
and DR.. Merryman."
Spend less nervous energy each day
than you make. Work like a man.
but don't be worked to death"
Be cheerful. "a light heart lives
long"
Think only healthful thoughts. "As
a man thinkest in his heart, so he is"
Avoid passion and excitement. "a
moments anger may be fatal"
Associate with healthy people.
Health is contagious as well as dis
ease"
Don't carry the whole world on your
shoulders, far less the universe Trust
in the good Lord"
Never despair. Lost hope is fatal
disease"
1t contains not single deleterious
ingredient 1t so pleasant to take that
children would cry for it, if they knew
what was good for them. The recipe
is not protected by patent, and is
within the reach of the slenderest
purse. 1t is made public with con-
fidence that those who take it will re-
ceive benefit.-Evening Wisconsin.

Young people seldom realize the
hidden love and interest felt toward
them by their parents and older
friends. Even the worst parent wants
his child to do better and be better
than he is himself. This doesn't
mean that he wants or expects his boy
TO occupy a high place in the world,
but he wants him to grow up clean,
honorable. good man. He wants him
to be clean of speech, courteous i'll
manner, honest in his dealings, and
just in his relations with his fellows.
He wants him in a word, to be the
finest thing in the world-a MAN. It's
only a little word consisting of three
letters, but it contains a world of
meaning.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

Senator Sherman in his address be-
fore the Home Market Club in Boston,
among other things we'll said, touched
on the question of good citizenship
with these logical words:
imperative as the need is for a Re-
publican victory in 1916, there is some
thing greater and more enduring now
and hereafter. 1t arises above party
and politics and race and creed. 1t
dwells in a region bounded only by
our flag. 1t calls for the allegiance of
every son of the republic, native or
alien born. 1t is the spirit of Ameri-
canism regenerated, redeemed and re-
dedicated to our republic by all who
are gathered within it's sheltering
folds. Half the world is at war. None
may ask that the ties of nativity be
broken. We ask only that they be sub
Ordinated to the welfare of our coun-
try. Those who promote disorder
within our limits to advance foreign
cause are properly rebuked and re-
turned to their own country. 1t is an
offense against the sovereignty of the
American people"
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1915-10-27

The Literary Digest recently sent
a request TO many Republican newspa-
pers asking for their opinion as to
the probable choice of candidates for
tne next election and opinion also of
the paper on what the issue or issues
u the campaign would be. 1t seems
TO Us that the dominant issues will be,
first: Americanism; second: protec-
ton for American industry and labor;
third, preparedness. Both parties
VIII probably agree on the question
Of steadfasmess to American ideals
IS patriotic and true Americans
Of al parties present a united front
TO the world. The question of suit
able tariff will have to be solved and
the party that does not meet the issue
when it comes will soon strike on the
rocks The third question is perhaps
the most important of all. We are in
no danger Of becoming militaristic,
but we are in grave danger of being
placed on the defensive at time when
we are in no shape to meet a military
nation which is fully prepared. Amer
lea is not going to drift We have too
much at stake.

WHAT CAESAR DID

When Caesar took an eastward ride
and grabbed the Gauls of Rome,
What was the first thing that he did to
make them feel at home?
Did he increase the peoples loads and
liberty forbid?
No; he dug in and built good roads
that's what old Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel upon the
foeman's breast,
Or did he try to make them feel that
Roman rule was best?
What did he do, to make them glad he
came their lands amid?
He built good roads in place of bad
that's what old Caesar did.
He built good roads from hill to hill,
good roads from vale to vale;
He ran good roads movement till
old Rome got all the kale.
He told the folks to buy home, build
roads their ruts to rid.
Until all roads led up to Rome-that's
what old Caesar did
If any town would make itself the CEN
ter of the map,
Where folks will come and settle down
and live in Plenty's lap.
If any town it's own abodes of poverty
would rid,
Let it go out and build good roads
just as old Caesar did.

LAND AT $315 AN ACRE.

GA ninety-acre dairy farm near Sioux
City has been sold for $315 an acre to
a banker who made a careful study of
financial returns before he invested.
This high figure should not be taken
as evidence that the price of Iowa
farms are not too high. The farm for
which $315 an acre was paid is a dairy
farm and operated as such will un-
doubtedly yield returns on the invest
ment. To pay that price for large
farm devoted to the cultivation of corn,
wheat or oats, however, would be a
gamble"
The above is taken from an exchange
and illustrates pretty clearly what can
be done on dairy farms toward pro-
ducing high priced lands and what is
more important, making profits that
will produce such valuation. In the
country where we are surrounded by
agriculture and it's products, we are
apt to lose sight of the fact that the
United States is becoming an enormous
manufacturing nation and the number
OF workers to be fed, amount to in
creasing millions. Grant county land
is the best of dairy land. Nowhere in
the world perhaps does blue grass
grow so abundantly in its natural
state. Rich as this country, is, it
hasn't been scratched as yet.

Did you ever feel like dropping
everything and stepping out into the
great world for a vagabOnd life, I'M
known, uncared for, foot loose and
free? Every man and every woman
who has accepted care and responsible
ity, who occupies a perhaps humble
station and bravely lives their lot, feels
that way sometimes. Only once in q
while does one step over the border
line and take the plunge we often
dream Of. And it is better so. Arduous
as the wheel becomes we are happier
than if we broke the bonds. We do not
realize it, perhaps, but our chains are
the things that make life worth while

Students Of economics make the
statement that after the present war
IS over the United States will be com
PEELED to adopt a protective tariff pol
icy that will thoroughly protect its
industries against foreign competition.
The reasons are several, but in the
main as follows: The foreign indus
trial nations, particularly Germany
and England will find themselves fac
ing impoverished treasures, people
burdened with war tax, and their trade
connections and markets crippled or
entirely destroyed. AS a result they
will turn to the richest and greatest
consuming nation in the world. The
United States will at that time as it has
in the past, contain a population that
is better able to buy than that of any
other country. These manufacturing
nations will sell their products in our
markets for almost any price in order
to keep their people employed even at
a low wage. They will reason, and
the workers will reason, that they had
better accept enough to keep soul and
body together than to starve. AS a
result our manufacturers will be COM
PEELED to meet this competition on
their competitors selling basis or see
their own local trade slip out of their
grasp AT the present time it makes
little difference what kind of a tariff
we have. When the war is over it will
make a great deal of difference and
unless our manufacturers are reason
ably protected against foreign compe-
tition we are very likely to see our
industries suffer materially. If the
democratic party which is traditional
" a free trade party, rises to the oc-
casion, it will perpetuate itself in pow
er. 1t is not likely, however, to do so.

Has there been any especial signi-
ficance to you in the recent sessions
of the circuit court! The thing that
impressed US most was that in a
comfy of more than 10000 inhabitants
there. were only twenty cases on the
criminal calendar. Some of these
cages were, technically, not criminal
cases at all, but cases that for GER
tain reasons the state prosecuted.
This indicates that Grant county and,
Of course, Wisconsin at large. is pretty

Lancaster Teller in its comment last
week on the recent clash between Gov
ernor Philip and the Monroe editor,
says, that we are fighting ideas to-
day and not men. Exceedingly well
put brother, but-what if the other
fellow hasn't any ideas. 1t reminds
one of the old story about the south
ern orator, who in the days immediate
ly preceding the late war, campaigned
the state OF Georgia for volunteers.
One of his favorite remarks was that
the confederates could lick the yank-
ees with pOpguns. After the war the
same man was again campaigning the
district, this time in favor of his can
didacy for congress. In the midst
of a fiery passage in which the orator
was telling his audience what he
would do when he went to Washington,
an old veteran with one arm missing,
interrupted him with, Say Cunnel, l
thought you was the man who said we
could whip the yankees with pOpguns."
The Colonel, after minutes hesitan-
cy, shouted, so we could, but the sons
of guns wouldn't fight that way."
