Nov. 9, 1915.
Editor Grant County Herald,
Lancaster, Wisconsin,
My dear Sir
In the issue of the Grant County
Herald for October 9th, there appears
the following statement in connection
with the football game between Lam
caster high school and Keewatin acad-
emy-"This team halls from the fam
Gus academy at Prairie du Chen that
doesn't do much else than travel
around the country playing real foot
ball"
In this statement you give utterance
quite unknowingly and with the best
of intentions | am sure, to rumor
that was started by some unscrupu-
lous persons about two years ago.
l don't believe that your paper
would knowingly circulate an opinion
that is erroneous and unjust. With
out doubt you will welcome informa-
ton that corrects a misrepresenta-
ton of serious kind.
The standards of scholarship at
Keewatin are commonly regarded
by our own students as unusually
severe; and to these standards
every student is obliged to conform
no matter what his participation in
athletics may be. Two facts l may
mention that will be grasped at once.
First, there is not boy in school who
does not pay the regular tuition or
who receives consideration Of any kind
because of his athletic ability. Need
less to say parents do not eXpend their
good money to have their sons convert
ed into we'll muscled ignoramuses.
Second, the young men here at Kee-
watin must be prepared for college,
some for Harvard, Yale, or Dart
mouth; most of them for Wisconsin.
Chicago, and Michigan. Anyone who is
familiar with the eXacting require
ments for college entrance knows that
this preparation is no pastime.
One word more. On Friday morn
ing of the day of the game between
Keewatin and Lancaster two of our
regular players, Giaver the fullback
and Peterson the right end, were dis
qualified and left at home because
their marks for the week were below
requirements.
Your general account of the game
is eminently fair and we appreciate
the friendly spirit manifested.
] trust that your own policy of print
ing truthful information will prompt
you to dispel this impression, mislead-
ing as it is and conveyed at other
times with the evil purpose of work
ing an unmerited injury to the repu-
tation of Keewatin academy.
Thanking you for the space that
you may give this matter, l am,
Very respectfully yours,
CHARLES CAREY.
Headmaster, Keewatin Academy.

Grant County Herald In this report
IS summarized the entire years work
done by the highway department di-
yided into the various towns, cities
and villages, giving the names of the
roads and exactly what was done on

thirty No. wheel scrapers, fifteen
drag scrapers, one wagon, ten hand
levels and other small tools.
Mr.. Mink in his report modestly
gives the credit for the efficient work
done to his foremen and other helpers
but the foreman will tell you that to-
Henry himself is due a great deal OF
credit in making the department show
results.

peouliaritiss Of Russian Winters.

There is one curious thing about a
Russian winter-in the latter part of
October or the beginning of November
the weather will be quite mild. Not a
sign can be seen of an approaching
change. when suddenly. without any
apparent warning, a light haze will be
seen in the northern sky. and in TWEEN
ty-four hours the thermometer may
fall 30 degrees. The change is so sud-
den and violent that travellers are fire.
quently frozen TO death before they
can gain shelter. 1t has occurred that
farmers out looking after their focks
have been caught in one of these biz
yards and. missing their way home,
have lost their lives. their bodies re-
manning under the snow until spring.

Thanksgiving is the oldest of American holidays. It's

THANKSGIVING ENRICHES
AMERICAS LIFE.

Thanksgiving day is one of the
most gracious and heartening
anniversaries in the American
year. That people should be
called by their president to reck-
on the mercies and privileges re-
ceived at the hands of God is a
most hallowed and sanctifying
ministry and most assuredly en-
riches and invigorates the ma
tional life.
But Thanksgiving should not
be confined to material bounty.
1t should extend its range and
include the blessings found in
the broadening day of knowledge
and in the lifting of all forms of
oppression from those who are
bearing a needless yoke. 1t
should even 60 beyond the
range of patriotism and become
cosmopolitan as it contemplates
the leaven of freedom and hu-
mainly which is working in
every part of the world.
Thanksgiving of this wide and
ennobIing kind would surely
send thankful people into the
ways of unseIfish and chivalrous
service.

BIC MAJORITY
FOR PROHIBITION
IN NEW MEXICO
Lieutenant Governor de Baca
Declares State Would Go
Overwhelmingly Dry if the
Chance Were Offered.


Santa Fe. Feb I7.-That eighty
five per cent 81 the voters in New
Mexico would cast their ballots for
prohibition was the prediction Of
Lieutenant Governor de Baca this
evening al temperance meeting in
the hall OF the house OF representa-
tiyes held in memory Of The late
Frances + Willard. today being the
anniversary 81 her death.
The lieutenant governor rcfuted the
argument 50 often advanced that pro-
hihition dees mt prohibit lie was
loudly appiauded. and promised his
active support in the pending prohi-
bltion campaign. although he ex-
pressed 1oubt that the legislature
would permit the people to vote on
the question at this time.
Miss Henderson, Of East Vaughn.
Guadalupe county. president Of the
New Mexico w c. T. L.. was In the
chair Senator Rarsh was the next
speaker and made a witty address in
favor Of woman suffrage as well as
prohibition. He declared il to be

ton. and said that although he had
been lifelong democrat he would
concede this much--that he would
rather live in a state that was dry.
even If it was republican than in
Stale that was wet and democratic.
HART Has Change OF Heart.
State Senator Hartt thrilled the au-
dience with the declaration that al
though he had been opposed to pro-
hibition in the first two sessions OF
the state legislature, now he would
vote for t. Representative Veal
pointed out that prohibition is purely
a moral question. and that when il
came to protecting the home, the
boys and the girls. party lines shou,d
not be drawn
Miss Garrett. the blind singer. at
special request sang several selec-
tions and was wildly applauded. a
j. Teare gave a tenor solo. and
chorus Of girls sang prohibition
to song 20 the tune Of *Tipperary."
Miss Henderson. in conclusion. ex-
pressed confidence that both houses
would submit the question to the
people and that the prediction Of the
lieutenant governor would be more
than verified.
