Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1915-06-09

Dubuque will have a big circus
on Saturday, June 10, being none
other than the great Barnum &
Bailey. OF course this is Ringing
Brothers, for when it comes to circuses
there is nothing to it but Ringing
Farmer boys, or those who would
be farmer boys, are reminded that
the adjourned short course in agri-
culture at Wisconsin University, is to
be called to order June %. Enroll
ments will be made on Monday, June
81.
While the big wheels of the big
press in The Herald shop were turn
ing, last week Tuesday evening, the
Jesse James show was showing. 1t
was not reported as being much of a
show. It's name was enough to con-
denim it.
The Herald and Kimballs's Dairy
Farmer, both for a year, for the sum
of SLIGO. Kimball's is the leading
publication of the world that is de-
voted wholly to the dairy and the
dairy COW. Every Grant county
farmer should have it. This PROPOSE
tion is equally good for renewals
SLIGO gets both for year.
Numerous complaints have been
made recently to this office by sub
scribers who failed to receive The
Herald regularly. 1t is difficult
matter to learn where the fault lies.
However, we always print extra
copies of each issue and subscribers
who fail to receive their paper are
requested to call or drop US line or
phone US and we will be pleased to
supply missing numbers without de-
lay. or charge.
One of the oldest shark games
to be played on the farmer has re-
Gently been revived down in Illinois.
A fellow goes to the farmer and
makes him think that the mail box
he is using is not in accordance
with the regulations of the postal
department. And the fellow has one
that is endorsed, and too often he
sells his box for price about double
its worth. A dozen men have been
in the U. S. pen. for working that
scheme, yet others are willing to
take the chance. Farmers will do
we'll tn talk with their mail carriers,
before they buy regulation" mail
box.
Haley & Edwards decided a
short time ago that they would lower
the floor of the basement under their
store, and after dreading the job
through the "wet SPELL" they de-
cided last week to undertake it. Mr..
Edwards had the honor of breaking
ground, which he did with much
energy. Later on, he was Joined by
Mr.. Haley, spade in hand, and by
several hired hands. Then there came
a panic for the completion of the
undertaking, and on last Friday the
dirt flew for further orders, to such a
degree that at night the lowering
was completed. That cellar is now
a foot deeper than it was a week
ago, and the concrete floor will make
of it finished product.
Whenever The Herald man hears
of any doings at any old "red school
house. = he wants to be there. And
he sometimes does make it, but
usually not, of course, as he is sadly
wanting in the blessed quality of
omnipresence. But he would gladly
write them all into stories. Two
front page stories tell something of
the delight he had last week. Only
one drawback to that sort of business
the headache that comes next morn
ing, for, py heck, those basket
socIals play the very deuce with an
amateur digestion. Nothing short of
a professional FOUNDER can stand
up against the delicious mass of in
digestibles contained in those baskets.
And then The Herald man has way
of bidding on baskets, simply be-
cause he loves to ponder on big
figures. He hates to see a 5-dollar
basket go at 80 cents, with the COM
pany of a million-dollar country girl
to help discuss the contents thrown
in. We would like to attend all
these exercises in the county, but we
are human, and can't make it.
