County Treasurer w. c. Liv-

Much criticism is being aimed
at the report of the state vice COM
mission, one paper pronouncing the
report so vile and obscene that it
advocates all copies should be burned.
1t thinks the reading of this report
would do young men and women
more harm than any other piece of
literature known in modern times.
And it cost the state $40, 900 to col
lect this choice mess during the past
two years.
William Duncalf, we'll known
in Lancaster as an amateur photog
rapher of acknowledged skill, has
become associated with Karl F.
Orion in certain departments of his
business. Mr.. Duncalf will have
charge of developing amateur photog
raphs, as we'll as taking care of all
outside work. He will be ready at
all times to go out and make
photograph of stock, farm buildings,
farm scenery, or do other strictly
commercial photography.
L. H. Bennett, treasurer for the
town of Glen Haven, was in the city
over Sunday. He came over for the
purpose OF leaving with the county
treasurer the state and county taxes
for this year. He says the town
taxes-the taxes to be collected in
the town-are about $500 less this
year than they were last year. And
Glen Haven is one of the towns that
is doing lot of road work. Mr..
Bennett is of the opinion that CT over
is coming through all right this
winter. Many farmers have been
scared, lest the icy conditions in the
meadows would kill out the grass
Evidently Mr.. Bennett is not one of
that "skeery'' kind of farmers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Silas Alonzo
Hatch came over from Bloomingt ton,
last Monday, to spend a day and
night with the family of their son,
James D. Hatch. Of course Mr..
Hatch had business, or he would not
have had the time to spend on the
trip. 1t is we'll known in Grant
county that he is secretary and treas
urer of two county insurance COM
panies, one the Mutual of Blooming
ton; the other the Grant County
Mutual. Mr.. and Mrs. Hatch are
among the pioneers in Grant county,
and they have lived in the Blooming
ton country since they landed here,
as much as so years ago. They
celebrated their golden wedding two
years ago, and both are hale and
hearty, spry and active. Among
his old-time intimates, Mr.. Hatch is
known as "Lon.''
