GALENA POWER IMPROVEMENTS.

The Interstate Light and Power Co.,
located at Galena, and manufacturing
current for the Lancaster Light and
Power Co., and other lighting COM
panies in this vicinity, are making ex-
tensive improvements and additions
in their plant at Galena, with the idea
of doing an increased business and al
so take care of in better shape the
business they now have. One of the
improvements consits of $500 horse
power turo generator which will be
installed as an auxiliary to the pres
ent plant and held in reserve for just
such troubles as raised the hair on
the back of the neck of many citizens
of Lancaster and Grant county the
last few weeks. They are also en-
Iarging the water intake and install
ing CRATES across the big flume in the
river where they get the water for the
condensers. George Angus, of the To-
cal company says the Galena people
are making every effort to get their
plant in shape to give continuous ser
vice. More power to their elbow.

A PLEASANT day
ATTENDING SCHOOL
Professor Adams Shows the Her
aid Man Around.
Domestic Science Has Nice Quarters
Modern Methods and Ideas
In Vogue.

How long is it since you were at
school? The Herald man dropped in
on Mr. Adams the other day and for
stepped inside the class rooms during
the study and recitation hours and
watched the children and teachers at
work The first thing we saw was
the domestic science department which
has been removed from it's old lOca-
ton in the Teller building to the sec
Ond floor of the high school. We must
confess our ideas of what domestic
science was were somewhat hay, but
now we know great deal more about
it. Each pupil has her own table and
locker containing the necessary uten-
sils for preparing and cooking food.
Most of the work is done on the cleo
trio hot plates which derive their pow
er frow wiring plugs in the floor.
Everything is Immediately clean, as
it would have to be with classes going
on every day. Mrs. Servis is still in
charge of the class.
The business department located in
the basement of the high school is a
very busy place with the classes in
bookkeeping and typewriting. Miss
Brown, the instructor, was giving the
pupils practical work when we called
and they seemed to be a capable and an
interested class. The Importance Of
learning business practice and the
rudiments cannot be overestimated as
many a man ruefully realizes in later
business life.
Then we saw the children. do you
remember the days when you stammer-
ed your lessons, drew pictures on the
blackboard and waved your hand fran
tically for permission to answer some
question you were up on? OF course
YOU do, for those are the most vivid
memories of your life. They do things
somewhat different nowadays and we
think vastly better. No more learning
your letters one by one and reciting
in a sing-song voice a-b-c-G-e, and so
on, or reading from AppletOn's, Tits
a-cat" Now they teach the little folks
actually what a word means long be-
fore he or she can spell and we saw
them do things that were really amaz-
ing. The teachers are evidently very
jealous in their efforts to do the best
t..ey can for the children.
At the north school the board has
placed hardwood floors in several
rooms and retinted the walls and cell
ings. making them very pleasant LOOT
ing. At the high school the old class
rooms in the south part of the build
ing on the main floor have been divid-
ed making four goOd-sized recitation
rooms. Everything is housed now in
the school buildings except the manual
training class. which still occupies
quarters above Ats store. The school
plant seems to be about up to its ca
pacity but the conditions are good,
better than lots of towns, and the or
ganizatiOn is splendid.
The enrolment this wear from
outside is not large, but the number
of pupils who came back to finish this
years work in high school will make
a graduating class of twenty-eight.

Mahalia Stanley, an old southern fam
lily who came to Grant county in an
early day Elizabeth Kilby was also
born in Grant county near Lancaster,
on March %, 1876, and was the daugh-

pioneers, coming from Indiana, and
prior to that her people lived in South
Carolina, so that both she and her hus-

CORN CANNING FACTORY BEING
PROJECTED AS LANCASTER INDUSTRY
Representative of Hastings Industrial Com
pany Chicago Concern and Discuss Plans For Establish
ing "One- Line" Packing Pant-Estimaed Cost $4,000.

That Lancaster may see a canning
factory in full blast turning out
pack of 10000 cases of corn and up
wards by this time next year, is pros
pect that while still in the embryo
stage, may result in a concrete reali-
ty by next spring. In a nutshell, here
it is: Last Thursday evening a num-
Der of the Lancaster business men
met at the request of F. P. Barnett
in the directors room of the Union
State bank and made the acquaintance
III Mr. j. NJ. Brent, who represents the
Hastings Industrial company, of Chi
cago. The Hastings Industrial COM
pany, be it known, is a concern which
is in the business Of establishing and
erecting canning factories. If you
want a milk or vegetable plant the
Hastings Industrial company will erect
it for you, get it in operation and turn
it over to you providing you pay for
it. Mr.. Brent explained something
about the operation of canning factor
les, the different things packed, what
they cost, and the methods of opera
ton. He told of being here three
wears ago and discussing the matter
at that time with some of the business
men. According to Mr.. Brent, corn
is the most feasible packing vegetable
for a Lancaster plant, as it is too
far north for tomatoes, and peas are
a drug on the market at the present
time Mr. Brent went on to illus
trate how the market rises and falls
and how, at times certain vegetables
are unsuitable for packing, on account
of marketing reasons. Corn, he says,
is in great demand at present, and the
demand is increasing.
A zone line" plant-that is, plant
constructed for handling one line OF
vegetables, in this case, cOrn-could
be built and made ready for running
at a cost of $4,000. This will include
all materials and machines and the
company's profit for looking after the
work, buying the materials, and in
general seeing the deal into the oper-
ating stage. The company sells the

Union REVIVAL
CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED
Church Representatives Are Out
For Business.
Meetings VIII Commence Nov. IL, Rev.
Daniel s. Toy, Noted EYange-
list TO Conduct.

At the general committee meeting of
the pastors and four representatives
from the Baptist, Congregational,
Methodist and Presbyterian churches,
held at the Congregational church
Monday afternoon this week, it was
definitely determined to open a union
revival campaign beginning November
II this year. The following officers
were elected: President, Rev. T. s.
Beavin; vice president, Rev. W. A.
Weyhrauch; secretary, Rev. H. A.
Studebaker; treasurer, Mr.. Louis Web
er, and the necessary committees APP
pointed. 1t was decided to build a
tabernacle upon the Miss Crosby lots
where the chautauqua has been held
and building operations will commence
in the near future.
The Rev. Daniel S. Toy has been
sent an official invitation to come and
conduct the services. He will bring
with him three or more assistants who
will have charge of the music and in
other ways help to make the campaign
a success.
A great deal of preparatory work
will be necessary. Cottage prayer
meetings will be held in each ward
and large chorus will be organized.
The committe is very optimistic and
believe that great good will result from
the meetings. All who can help in
any way are asked to give their sup
port.
Many will be interested to know the
character of the man who is coming
to take charge. Mr.. Toy comes high
ly recommended and the following
from no less famous evangelist than j.
Wilbur Chapman, bespeaks his merits.
Rev Daniel S. Toy has been asso-
ciated with me in Evangelistic work
for the past twelve years. He is one
of the truest ministers of the Gospel
| know, loyal to Christ and to the
Word of God and has a passion to see
men turn unto Christ and live. He
is an evangelist of special ability and
God has used him in very marked
degree, especially with men. 1t is q
pleasure to me to recommend him to
any community desiring the services
of an evangelist The pastor of the
church will find him very helpful and
cOnSiderate Of their interests. He will
strengthen their work in every way.
I do not know Of safer, saner man.

plant under two plans. One of them
being a cooperative concern, among
the farmers, and the other a simple
stock company where any number of
men can buy as many shares as they
please, and run the company as cor
rOratiOn.
The, latter idea was considered the
better one and several of those pres
ent agreed to take some stock in
amounts varying from 500 to $1,000.
The plant, if located here, will be
placed near the railroad at some point
or other so as to have plenty of track
ing facilities and easy shipping. 1t
will consist of a complete outfit of
buildings, sheds, cOnveyors, steam
plant for power, cooking retorts, ship
ping department, and in fact, the en-
tire layout necessary in a plant of the
kind. The cans are no longer solder
ed; a special cover being ''crimped"
into position. The figures include two
husking machines doing away with a
serious factor-that of getting labor for
this purpose during the packing sea-
about 20 people when running full
blast during the canning time. 1t is
managed by superintendent, who is
an expert and has full charge of the
entire operation from the contracting
for the acreage to the shipping Of the
manufactured article. The company
finds this man in each case. The
other help is picked up locally during
the busy season. A small force is
kept during the winter time, prepar-
ing for the next years work.
In order to keep a plant Of this size
producing up to its capacity, about
400 acres of corn are necessary. This
corn even if planted all at once will
mature far enough apart during the
eight weeks it is in the milk so that
deliveries can be made to the factory
at stated intervals.
Agreements are made with the farm
ers to ensure enough raw material,
the amount of acreage not exceeding
in each case about five acres. The

appointing a second supervisor as
there is some doubt about the legality
of making two appointments until af-
ter the first of next July. This mat
ter will be settled later.

corn is hauled and weighed at the
plant, the farmer getting his check at
the time.
The time required to construct the
plant and have it ready for business
is about 200 days. Should the matter
be acted upon favorably the building
will be up before planting comes on
next spring, and the farmers will be
able to see just what is ready for them
when they prepare for a sweet corn
crop. The prices are said to be as
good or better than for matured field
corn, and of course the chance of real
izing a value on the crop is greater as
the corn is picked mostly before the
frOsts.

HIGH LICENSE AT MUSCODA.

Muscoda held a special election last
week to determine whether or not the
saloon keepers of that burg should in
the future pay $500 as a yearly license
instead of 5000 as in the past. The
vote stood 70 for and 40 against, and
after July 1, 1916 the proprietors of
the bars will cough up $500 additional
for the privilege of selling wet goods
in the northern city.
Very little interest was shown in
the election and no alignment made
on the issue by either the vets or

keep the license as before and some
