misfortune to get his left foot under
a manure spreader last week, with
the result that the member was badly

-Gorham Alexander of North Ian
caster town dropped in the other day,
and after transacting little business
visited awhile. Mr.. Alexander and
his younger brother are farming 100
acres and doing it successfully. They

Henry Pagenkopf says he could
not do business and drive a team
around the country. The horse is
to slow for Henry. Last Saturday
morning he put gas engine in his
motor truck and struck out for high
timber. He stopped at Beetown and
set up power washing outfit, then
drove south a couple of miles and
tinkered something on wheels that
was out of whack, going further
south, to Ed. J Morse's farm, where
he set up gasoline engine. And
then he got back to town for dinner.
In the day of horse travel that sort of
layout would have taken a day to
accomplish.
William E. Lathrop has new
atlas of the state of Wisconsin that
is really worth while. 1t has map
of every county, and besides that it
has map of every township in every
county. More than that, these town
ship maps show the ownership of
every farm in every town, down to
recent date The Herald man tested
out the Sank county map and found
it correct. Mr.. Lathrop got this to
use in his business, and expects it
will save him lot of expense. He
may find out whether a farm in a
given section, in a given township,
in gwen county, is all lake or
solid ground. And Mr.. Lathrop says
the atlas, and the mass of reliable
information it contains, are open to
his friends and the citizens of Lam
Caster. 1t is worth while to look
up your holdings in other sections
of the state, if you have any.
A. L. Pier, of the White City,
sort of summer and winter resort
south of the jamestown end of Eagle
Point bridge, was fined $25 and
costs last week, on the charge of
selling liquor on Sunday, to which he
pleaded guilty. He said he had done
it so long that he thought he had a
perfect right to do SO. But now he
knows better, for if caught again it
will mean his getting sentence to
so days in Jail. He has several cot
tages near the river and rents them
out by the day, week or year. He
sells campers supplies. and reckons
booze as one of the natural necessities
of a camper. The most of his
patronage came from Dubuque, and
he claims to cater to the really
"upper crust" of society from that
city. Be that as it may, he has
learned that there is Sunday in this
country. and having learned that, he
declares he will make bluff at re-
speeding it.
