No. it wasn't any one shooting at
the insuIators this time that caused
the failure in the electric supply.
It vas Just the terrific storm and
elements beyond the control of the
most careful public service company.
The Herald plant suffers perhaps as
severely as any one during these in
terruptions but our experience has
been that the employees of the Tele-
phone and Light plants take pro-
fessional pride in keeping their lines
working at the highest efficiency pos
sible and in being on the job at the
break of day, repairing the trouble.
We are going to give them the benefit
of the doubt and we have a bunch
that these interruptions are going to
be less frequent as time goes on.

Grant County Herald, has it be-
lieves, about as bright corps of cor
respondents as can be found any
where. They are assiduous in gather
ing the news from their respective
ReighbOrhoods, they boost for the

be In shape to handle a great deal
more correspondence for we are
getting in new machinery and adding

Snow and Water.

According to the speed Of its fall and
the temperature the density of snow
varies. In cold, crisp, frosty weather
it comes down light and dry, and the
bulk is greater than in the moist, cold
weather, when the snow falls in large,
partially thawed flakes, which pack
closely and occupy much less space
for q given amount Of moisture than
when there is greater degree of cold.
Newly fallen snow Of average COM
pactness, having a depth Of eleven and
one-third inches, is reckoned as equiv
alent to one inch of rain. A cubic foot
of newly fallen snow weighs five and
one-half pounds, and cubic foot of
rain water weighs sixty-two and one
half pounds.

Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman, of
Illinois is being talked of as pos
sible candidate next year for the
presidency Senator Sherman is a
strong man he is man of the people
and his rise has been steady and with
out any meteoric features. He is a
man of great personal integrity and
of very shrewd common sense. He
came into Chicago when candidate
for the Senate and the business men
of the that city were greatly i'm
pressed by the evident simplicity of
his character and the shrewdness and
practically of his political view
point. He has already enlisted the
loyalty and support of great many
substantial men in his own state
and this feeling will spread through
out the country as time goes on.
While it is yet little early to talk
of candidates for the next presi-
Dental election still Senator Sherman
cannot be- overlooked by thoughtful
men who want to see their party re-
presented by man who stands upon
the solid rock of integrity, wise con-
servatism and progression that is
practical and will achieve results.

An Ancient Civilization.

"Where was the most ancient civil
lization known" asks a recent trav-
eler In Turkestan, DR.. w. J. Parmelee,
In the Springfield Republican.
Explorations show that 10000 years
ago twice the age Of the Egyptian
pyramids) a people lived southeast of
the Caspian sea, about 12O miles from
the sea, who had brick houses, deco
rated pottery. convenient and ingen-
ious household articles and domestic
animals; they raised and ground wheat
and cooked their food.
So far as can be told, they had no
weapons and lived In peace with their
neighbOrs-a trait that may be taken
as evidencing civilization or its abb
sence, according to the point Of view.

On Sunday morning certain young
pastor in his first charge announced
nervously, CT will. take for my text
the words, And they fed five men
with 5000 loaves of bread and 1000
fishes'''
After this misquotation an old
parishoner from his seat in the amen
corner said audibly:
Chats no miracle could do it
myself"
The young preacher said nothing
at the time, but the next time he
announced the same text again. This
time he got it right:
''And they fed 5000 men on five
loaves of bread and two fishes"
He waited a moment and then,
leaning over the pulpit and looking
at the amen corner, he said:
And could you do that, too, Mr..
Smith,
"Of course l could" Mr.. Smith
replied. .as
"And how would you do it?'' said
the preacher.
"With what was left over from
last Sunday" said Mr.. Smith.

ONE ASPECT OF NATIVE "KUL
TUR."

Leo Frank, man of education, a
husband and home maker, an in
dustrious Manufacturer, is found
guilty of murder and condemned to
death upon wholly insufficient evidence
and under stress of the mob.
Harry Thaw, half-educated ir-
responsible, pet of the half-world
and a disgraceful wastrel, is the ad-
mitted assassin of man of genius,
but escapes the death penalty by the
madhouse route.
When Leo Frank, after q nation
had risen in protest against the i'm
pending crime of his execution, re-
ceives a communication of sentence to
life Imprisonment, the people of his
home city rise in fury and attempt
to wreak their vengeance not only
upon him but upon the brave official
who did his duty.
When Harry Thaw, after a fight
of years rendered possible by wealth
alone, secures a declaration of sanity
from the courts, the people of his
hons city rise to his reception with
joy, honor and adulation which could
not have been greater had their

We do not know of any one who
would be willing to swing deal of
this kind individually but it strikes
US that stock in a company would
find an easy market among the
townspeople and also among the
farmers. There is no more effective
way of getting in on the big side of

course the same thing would apply to

Its a practical business propo-

WHY NOT A COLD STORAGE
PLANT

~SS2Fi! S5tssssS ~
Monticello, little village of $50
inhabitants, located in Green county,
is the site of the erection of $50,
600 cold storage to be put up by
Wittwer & Brother, a large local
cheese manufacturing firm. The pro-
posed plant will be 50x100 feet in
ground dimensions and will be four
stories high including the attic. 1t
will be equipped with an elevator
and refrigerating machinery of the
latest type. The Wittwer firm has
been Ieasing space for some time
past in a plant at Brodhead and the
new plant is to properly care for
their increasing business.
If q plant of this kind is a good
thing in Monticello and in numerous
ether towns in the state, it ought to
be good thing in Lancaster. For
Instance; at the present time a
farmer bringing eggs into the local
market is obliged to sell them at
once End the LEGAL merchant is also
compelled to ship them as soon as he
can. Their final destination in many
cases is the cold storage warehouse
where they are held until the fall and
winter prices reach the top notch.
4he farmer is compelled under the
present condition to sell the eggs at
the market price where with a cold
storage plant in the town the eggs
could be stored until more favorable

Useful New Invention
Enables Anyone to Play Piano or Organ With
 out Lessons

A Detroit musician has invented a wonderful new system which enables any person or little child to learn to play the piano or organ in one even ing. Even though you know abso- lutely nothing about music or have never touched a piano or organ, you two. People who do not know one note from another are able to play their favorite music, with this method without any assistance whatever from anyone.
 This new system is called the Numeral Method. We have secured the sole agency from the inventor, and, as we are desirous of at once making 1t known in every locality, we are making the following special free trial and half-price offer to everyone.
 You are not asked to send any money until you have tried and are satisfied with the new method. We are willing to send 1t to you on free trial, and you will not have to pay one cent unless you desire to keep 1t. There are no express charges to be paid, as everything will be sent by mail. Simply write us letter or postcard saying: Please send me the Nunera1 Method on free trial" If you are satisfied after trying it, the Method and fifty different pieces of sheet music will cost you only S5, although the regular price of these is $10. You should not delay writing, as we shall not continue . this special half-price offer indefinitely. Later on, the Method and fifty pieces of music will be sold at the regular price.

 Unfortunately the United States government has not maintained the strongest and most consistent neu- -rality.
