RIVER TRAFFIC STARTS
VERY EARLY THIS SPRING
Schedule for Upper Stretches Not
yet Made, but Will Come
Along Now Soon.

Traffic on the Mississippi will be
open on Sunday morning, March %,
when the steamer, Keokuk, will leave
Davenport bound for Quincy, accord
ing to word received here this week.
The boat will take on freight and
passengers for all points between
Davenport and Quincy.
The Keokuk is scheduled to leave
Keokok on March 20, on her regular
schedule for Quincy, and will make
connections with the Blackhawk at
Burlington on Tuesday. The Black
hawk will be put in service for the
Davenport-Quincy trade on March %.
According to reports received at
the headquarters of the steamboat
lines, the opening of traffic this year
will witness big gain over the bust
ness secured the early part of last
year, a large number of merchants
having guaranteed certain tonnage
which meets with the approval of the
companies.
1t is not definitely known at this
time on what dates the large boats
will-be running up in this neck % the
woods, but it is presumed that the
time is not far distant. -Cassville

LOTS OF FARMS TO BE HAD
IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN
You Don't Need to Go to Canada
and Freeze to Death--Stay
Here at Home.

There is very decided movement
abroad in this state to check the i'm
migration into the Canadian north
west. The determination to populate
the northern counties of this state is
good, but there is no reason to fight
Canadian immigration-tha is dead
now. A recent issue of Ashland
Press says:
Local stock men who had the &C.
casion to witness the loading of the
two carloads of beef cattle of Robert
Wilson of White River, from the
Omaha Railroad stock yards on
Eleventh avenue west into cars for
shipment to Chicago, this afternoon
saw in the shipment some of the finest
cattle that have ever been grazed on
Ashland County land.
Last week two carloads of beef
cattle that were fattened on the
Wilson farm were sent to Chicago.
All are excellent illustrations of what
can be done along the lines of graz
ing in Ashland county. The pos
sibilities for cattle grazing in this
section of the state are unlimited and
1t will not be a matter of many years
before this fact will become firmly
imbedded in the minds of stock men
IN all parts of the country.
The cattle shipped by the Wilson's
are just examples of the good results
that have been attained by stock rails
ers who have faith in northern Wis
consin.

EXPERT SEES PROSPERITY
IN LIVE STOCK GROWING
Thinks Foot and Mouth Disease
Will Disappear and Soon
Be Forgotten.

aside from the shortage of breed
ing stock and the presence of foot
and-mouth disease, which will soon
be stamped out and be forgotten as
was the widespread epidemic of
epizootic in horses during the winter
of 1928, there is not single cloud
on the horizon of future prosperity
for the growers of cattle and sheep in
this country while the hog has always
been at once the mortgage litter of
the farm at home and the product of
American agriculiuSe most coveted
abroad with every prospect of sus-
tanning his reputation in the future
as in the past, under growing demands
for his products. This is the en-
thusiastic, but at the same time
thoughtful statement of a man who
perhaps more than anyone else in this
country is in a position to size up
clearly Americas live stock situation.
"On the whole the live stock in
dustry of the United States is on the
eve of a period of prosperity, for
those who enter 1t wisely, which has
never been equalled. Those farmers
and stock raisers who are fortunate
enough to have on hand sufficient
supply of breeding animals, especial
ly we'll bred COWS, to form basis for
future herds, and will provide proper
sires, give them all good care, and
remain steadily in the ranks of live
stock producers, will find themselves
a few years hence in the foremost
ranks of America s most prosperous
citizens, with their herds and fiocks
growing in value, their acres growing
in fertility, and their bank accounts
growing steadily with the combined
growth of live stock and increasing
crop yields. !"

Thrilled His Audience.

DR.. Garfield, of Waukesha, gave
the annual address before the
memorial association in the Congrega-
tional church on Sunday night. A
large audience was present and
listened to one of the finest addresses
ever given here on a like occasion.
Never was DIR. Garfield more eloquent.
The original matter and quotations
from orators of another day, were
alike in loftiness of thought and
elegance of diction. He thrilled his
tense audience as no high priced
lecture course artist has done it in
years. Whitewater Register.
DR.. Garfield will lecture at the
Congregational church next Mdonay
night, under the auspices of the C. E.
society. Surely, DR.. Garfield is we'll
worth hearing, and a capacity house is
freely predicted. Seats are now to be
had at Wheeler's book store.

ANNIVERSARY HAZEL
Green BIG CYCLONE
1t Was SO Years Ago March 10;
Many Remember 1t.
Story of the Horrible Wind Storm is
RetoId and List of Dead
Given in Full.

Last weeks issue of the Hazel
Green Reporter presented an ami
versary number of the great cyclone
which swept over that town March
10, 1876, causing the death of seven,
injuring many and great destruction
of property. The issue contains
thee photos of scenes of wreckage,
and otner articles which go to make
an interesting account OF the disaster
still green in the memory of many
persons in this vicinity. 7. S. Golden,
proprietor of the Reporter, deserves
much credit on his enterprise.
The property loss in damage to
residences and other buildings to-
tailed $35, 900. Subscriptions were
sent the sufferers from Galena, Du-
buque, Lancaster. Platteville, and
elsewhere, including ST, 900 from the
Odd Fellows Relief Society of Wis
consin. The storm performed many
freaks. DR.. Kittoe's stable was lifted
from the ground, with a buggy and
team of horses in it, and on being
carried up in the air the building
burst ike a balloon. The horses
dropped in a field, fully hundred
and fifty yards from where they start
ed and the buggy was as far in the
other direction. In many places brush
washed into the roads filling them to
height of many feet.
Following is an accurate list of
those killed in the tornado which oc-
Cured 80 years ago:
Mrs. Elizabeth Richards, aged
about So years, born at Cornwall,
England, and an old and respected
citizen of Grant county John Richards,
aged 16 years; Mrs. T. II. Edwards,
aged % years child of Mrs. 7. H.
Edwards, aged 2 years; Alfred Jack
son, aged IA years; Mrs. John
Looney, aged 30 years; Thomas
Allen, aged 50 years.
Those more on less injured were :
Joseph Clemenson, leg broken !;
Edward Thompson, hip injured; child
of Fred Plude, arm broken; Amanda
Morcom, head cut; Thomas Mayor,
badly cut about the face; Mrs. Tregon-
ming, arm injured; Joseph Mason,
slight injury on the head; child of
Will Fiddick, head cut; Dora Thorn
son, arm injured; Mrs. Joseph Jack
son, slightly injured Mrs. Fairly,
leg Injured; Mrs. James Edwards
face hurt; James Treganza, injured
slightly; Frank Thompson, head and
arm bruised; Miss Eliza Rodda, badly
injured. Several in the family of
Thomas Allen were reported as badly
injured.

HOME FLOOR

two games to that aggregation. The
others did not seem to be hard to
handle.
Now comes the tournament at
Platteville, in which there is a strong
element of uncertainty. This is es-
pecially so, because the locals may
have to engage with such teams as
Richland Center and Monroe, both of
which towns have been very strong
on the floor this winter. Of course
while it is not at all certain what
teams the Lancaster boys will have
to meet, there is a certainty that
they will do their best. They must
enter the tournament with confidence !;
but too much confidence may presage
defeat.

FARM WAGES ARE HIGH
HERE IN GRANT COUNTY
A Fair Average Is SIS Per Month,
Although Some
Get $50.

Without having made a regular
canvass of the subject, it looks as if
the going wages for farm hands this
year will about average $50 per
month, board, washing and the keep
of horse for the "hired man.
From Montfort section come reports
of as much as $40 per month, with
the keep of horse. ETC.. and down
in Glen Haven couple of like in
stances are told of.
When the Herald man talked with
a farmer last week about the help
problem, the man from the farm
took on quite sarcastic air, and al
lowed that the wages were $50 or
$40 per month, and that the 'hired
man. might leave work any time
during the week, after Monday morn
ing, and his time ran on just the
same. But" said the farmer, she
must be there Monday morning,
sure. OF course there are plenty
of men working on Grant county
farms at 80 per month, but it seems
to be the general opinion that a
sprightly, reliable hand may have the
highest wages, if he will stand for
them.
Generally the man begins work
April, and for him the season ends
Dec. /, making an 8-month year.
That would yield the worker, at $40
per month, $500, and his expenses are
prettV light

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
PUPILS GIVE DINNER
Under Direction of Mrs. Servis.
They Entertain Company.
A Demon stration Is Made of the
Practical Character of This
Department.

The domestic science department of
our Lancaster schools gave a very
pleasant and delightful entertainment
at six O'Clock or Wednesday, March
IT, in the form of a supper. This
was served to basket ball teams of
Montfort and Lancaster who played
that evening. Besides the members
of the basket ball teams the follow
ing were invited: The high school
teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ten
nant, Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. Brennan,
MIR. and Mrs. Richard Meyer, Jr.,
Mrs. R. w. Adams, County Super
intendent E. C. Brick, and Mr..
Mathie, principal of the Montfort
high school.
The girls at all the classes in cook
ing, in high school and grades did the
work of preparation; the serving was
done by the sophomore class of the
high school. The tables were very
tastefully arranged and nicely dec
Grated. Among the other decora-
tions was large bouquet of carna-
tions of color appropriate for St.
Patrick's day; these were kindly
donated by T. j. Haley.
The girls who prepared this supper
and Mrs. Isabel Trow Servis, head of
the domestic science department
under whose direction it was given,
are certainly to be congratulated for
the excellent meal which was pre-
pared and the way in which it wa
served.
The question may sometimes arise
as to why not more affairs of this
kind are given by the domestic science
department. The reason is that this
is the first year of domestic science
work in these schools. Another year
entertainments of this kind will be
more frequent.
If there is any question in any
ones mind as to the efficiency and
value of the domestic science work,
that question can be easily answered
by simply visiting this department
when the classes are at work. The
large number of practical lessons
which these girls learn other than
simply the various ways of cooking
and sewing, is certainly sufficient to
Justify the works being done in the
schools.

A petition, asking that the
matter of granting saloon licenses in
Lancaster for another year be sub
mitted to the voters of this city at the
election Of April 9Th. was fled
with City Clerk John NJ. Stone, last
Saturday. There were 103 names
signed to the petition. This raises
the issue squarely once more, and
Lancaster voters will have an OPP
portunity once more of expressing
their preferences on this question.
