BOIL WEEV|L Is
MENACE DESPITE
.THE: CON 7 RAR !

"You can publish all that has ever
appeared in the newspapers about the
dreadful damage wrought by the boil
weevil, and then some more without
telling all of the story" was the state
ment made by J. G. Oliver, the new
farm demonstrator for Sumter county,
to Times Recorder representative.
MIR. oliver is preparing systematic
campaign through every section Of
Sumter county in order to bring to
their attention the many vital ques-
tions for farming and the onslaught OF
the boil weevil. These visits will be
made prior to the great boil weeyA
meeting in Americus on Tuesday, Oc-
tober 18th, and will have the idea in
view of urging every farmer to be
present when the state and national
authorities will warn them on the
many dangers.
Demonstratcr oliver has had much
experience in the boil weevil sections
of Mississippi and Louisiana, and be-
sides his excellent qualities for farm
demonstration work, Sumter county is
fortunate in having his entire services
while the first stages of the battle
against the pest are laid.
The One Best Way.
An instructive pamphlet prepared by
Mr.. Oliver is "The One Best Way to
Combat the Boil Weevil-A Self-Sus-
tanned Farm" Any one desiring the
vast store of information embodied in
this booklet cam secure a copy from
Mr.. Oliver by writing or calling at his
Office in the Chamber of Commerce of
fees.
Mr.. oliver takes the position as al
ready maintained by editorial express
ions in the Times-Recorder that the
campaign against the boil weevil will
rebound in untold benefits to the far
mer in the war for diversification of
crops, even if the boil weevil were not
here. But Mr.. Oliver, along with the
state and federal agents, states thai
the pest is here, despite reports and
rumors to the contrary.

ROAD WORK DOING
COVERS THE COUNTY
HOadIey Hill Responding Well
to Treatment.
Animation Hill Will Be Lovers
Lane" When the Job
is Done.

Road work is progressing finely in
Grant county, and there is lot of it
going on. A big job of finishing has
been completed in the sandy bottoms
of the Wisconsin river, between
Muscoda and Blue River. This was
started last fall, and now the sand
has vanished to the edge of the viii
lage of Muscoda.
Hoadley Hill is becoming quite
decent, it is expected that the
new CUT will be opened very soon.
And then there will be rejoicing all
the way from Platteville TO Dubuque.
Another hill, north of Dickeyville,
but not known to fame by any partic
ular name, is soon to be attacked.
1t is claimed that this has grades as
steep at 20 per cent, and by. making
a new layout this may be reduced to
seven per cent.
Over in Clifton town the Animation
hill is taking treatment. And it is
no absent treatment either. A dozen
men and half as many teams are tear
ing down some of the steep grades.
1t would be real nice, so some think,
if some of the winds and twists might
be reduced, or entirely eliminated,
but that is out of the question.
Henry Mink says that after he gets
done with old Animation it will be a
regular lovers lane with flowers
growing on both sides of the trac k
and birds singing on every overhang
ing bough. But Henry always was
poetical.
Work began late last week on the
Boscobel- Fennimore road. to finish
a job of surfacing that was incOm-
plete when winter came on last fall.
There are about 600 feet of this,
and dozen men are hurrying it to
completion. To date, there has been
no special work directed toward fix
ing things at the head-waters of
Crooked creek, on this same road,
only a little further north. The
road there is never real bad, but a
little work under county supervision
would not hurt things bit.
Down in the southwestern corner
of things, on Pierce's Hill for in
stance, work is progressing. 1t is
expected that this will soon be finish
ed. And then there will be .elebra-
tion all the way from Burton to Cass-
vile, with little rejoicing along
the side roads and cross roads. Grant
county mas a big road fund, and it is
being so placed as to bring permanent
results.

MOORE HILL WAS NEVER
so REAL DECENT AS NOW
For Years 1t Has Been a Nuisance,
but the Road Commits
sioner Fixed 1t.

Whether you ever knew Moore Hill
or not, it is worth tri p ont there to
see the reformed and re-made road.
Of course, if one has seen the old hill
when it was a real nuisance, he
would much more enjoy looking at it
now. Time was when it was very
bad hill to ride down, and at times
almost impossible to go up with a
team, load or no load.
Moore Hill is located directly east
of Lancaster, out past the fair
ground, and by reason of its location
has been from early times in this
county on one of the leading thorough
fares. But that winding road has been
fierce The farmers would plaster it
up with clay in the spring, but sticky
as was that clay, it would not stick
against the rains and floods that
would, sooner or later, decend upon it..
Finally the county road commits
sioner took hold of that old hill, and
when the steam roller was taken off
the finished job, last week Wednes-
day, it was a really reformed hill.
The steep grades have been taken out
of it, the ut-cropping rock has been
buried completely and the whole
course of the hill. both sides of the
creek, as been macadamed and rolled,
so that a team may haul big load.
Better accept our invitation and go
out and have a look at Moore Hill.
This was done by contract, we are
told, and the job has not been accept
ed by the county.

THE SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL
CONTEST FOR MILLS PRIZE
Friday Night, at the Congregation
al Church--Music by
GIee Club.

Next Friday night will be held the
annual contest for the prize provided
for by the fund left by the late Judge
j. 7. Mills. This will be the seven
teenth annual event, and while the
list Of contestants is not large, there
is every reason to think that the con-
test will be we'll worth the hearing.
This will be held in the Congrega-
tional church, and music will be
furnished by the high school glee
club. IL has been the custom for
juniors of the high school to take
charge of the business details of the
contest, and it is presumed that
this years event will be managed
as have others. The contestants
are selected from the senior class
of the local high school.
The contestants, and their subjects
are: Miss Floyd Bryhan, "Waste of
War" Miss Bessie Murphy, Modern
Miracles" Myrtle Hudson, Every
Inch a King and Bessie DiVall,
Literature and Life" 1t is hoped
the public will give liberal patronage
to the contest, as they have done in
the past.

ROCK FROM THE SKY
BREAKS BONE IN FOOT
Mrs. Henry Ha.tIine Struck by Stone
That Had Travelled
600 Feet.

Mrs. Henry Hartline, North Lam
caster, was the victim of a strange
and unusual accident, one day last
week. She had just come out of the
cellar at their farm home, coming by
the outside cellarway, and as she
reached the ground stone descended
from the sky, tore her dress and
struck her foot with great force.
1t seems that rock was being
blasted in a bluff, as much as 600
feet from the Hartline home, rock
that is to be used on the Lancaster
Mt. Ida road, and chunk flew all
the way to where Mrs. Hartline stood.
1t was not large piece, but it was
large enough to break bone in her
foot and cause her great pain. And
she was on the side of the house OPP
posite the stone quarry.
Later on it was thought desirable
to know just how badly the foot was
crushed, so Mrs. Hartline was
brought to town and the member sub
jected to an eX-ray examination.
From this investigation it appeared
that bone in the foot was broken.
While Mrs. Hartline is improving,
and wound is very painful and her re-
covery will be slow.

They Want Good Roads.

Returns are coming into Madison
from the recent spring election, re-
lative to the number of towns that
have voted money for permanent
roads, and they are very satisfactory
to the friends of good roads. Of
course the returns are not complete,
but they are full enough so that a
fair line may be had on the situation.
To date, no less than 942 towns
have voted money, and this fund
totals S753, OOO which is a large
sum. Then there are small cities
and villages that have made APP
preparations, which if added to the
sums voted by the townships, already
referred to, brings the total to
81, O7O,O0O.
1t is evident that Wiconsinites are
out for decent roads.

HOW THE COUNTRY
SCHOOLS ARE KEPT
A Visit to Four Teachers in
Rural Districts.
One House Mighty Hard to Find
Harrison and Lima Under
Consideration.

Last week Thursday The Herald
man accepted the invitation of County
Superintendent of Schools E. C. Brick
and went out to inspect few of the
rural schools of Grant county. We
saw four of them and enjoyed the
outing to the limit. You see, we got
our intellectual start in life in the
little red schoolhouse, and stuck to
the start until we went to high in a
nearby village. So we have a friend
ly feeling for all country schools,
whether they be "kept" in red or
white house.
Two of the schools we saw were in
the town of Harrison, and they SEEM
ed to be above the average in attend
ance. Our first stop was at the
school presided over by Miss Lillian
Martin, of Platteville, and out of an
enrolment of %, only IA were in
attendance. But chicken-pox has
run it's course in that school and
seems to have made a clean job of
it. An almost unheard-of thing was
disclosed there-some of the pupils
were tardy in the morning. That
seldom occurs in the rural school,
at this time of the year.
Then we started out to find No. 8,
Harrison, the school presided over by
Miss Minnie Edge. That is the most
effectively hidden of any schoolhouse
we ever have seen. We doubt If the
officers of that district can find their
school building, after the foliage is
out. But it is a large school, 20,
and all there. That schooIhouse is
away back at the end of stub road,
in hollow, but with an ample yard
and delightful spring. There is no
show for the boulevard lamps to cast
their hideous glare into that sylvan
retreat-not yet for few centuries.
Yet two of the Harrison contests
were wen in that schoolhouse, and by
one boy. He licked the whole town
in spelling and arithmetic. Then we
drove over to Lima, and first saw
Miss Bertha Ruskell, in it. 3, who
had an enrolment of 20 and an at
tendance of 10, when we were there.
Miss Ruskell is good teacher and
is no doubt doing substantial work.
From that school we drove toward
home, stopping at the one over which
Miss johnson pIesides. This school
house is located on the top of q hill
and commands a fine view. Miss
Johnson has % pupils enrolled and
% of them were present. she was
dismissing school early on Thursday
afternoon, in rider that she might
scrub out the premises. We left the
larger boys carrying in water, Miss
Johnson rolling up her sleeves, and
other evidences of approaching
general additions. She is a good
teacher, all right.
We saw four dead clocks in four
schoolhouses, but the teachers were
not to blame.

JUNE THIRD, HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATION EXERCISES
DR.. SiIas Evans, President of Ripon
College, Will Be Orator
for Occasion.

1t is established that commence
ment exercises for the Lancaster high
schoUl will be held at Hatch's opera
house on Thursday morning, June 3.
The entire program j. not quite ar
ranged; enough is ready to give out
so that we may safely make this an
nouncement.
There is no certainty about the
number to be graduated, but the
scholars hope, of course, that not less.
than Is will be on the platform as.
candidates. This is a very small
class for Lancaster, about half the
number graduated last year.
Friday is quite favorite for
graduation exercises, and several of
our neighorIng cities are to celebrate
on that day, but matters that seemed
to be vital to the occasion made it
necessary to hold forth on Thursday.
DR.. Silas Evans, president of Ripon
college, will be the orator for the.
occasion.
