A HAPPY WEDDING.

To the Grant County Herald
On Jan. II, Wednesday evening, at
eight o'clock, occurred the marriage
of Miss Eva Govier and Jesse Sawyer
at the home of Rev. L. n. Woolley
in Bloomington.
Miss Govier was formerly a Ian
caster girl until three years ago, when
she went to clerk in Ludden's store at
Bloomington. Enough cannot be said
of the brides good qualities, as she
is a young lady of high standing in
this community.
The groom, we are not so we'll ac-
quainted with, but from the short ac-
quaintance we have had with him we
feel certain that he is a very estim-
able young man of undisputed good
qualities.
Only two chosen friends witnessed
the wedding Grace Morrow Of
Little Grant, and Grant Garner of
Bloomington. Mr.. Garner is also one
of Ludden's staff.
The bride and bridesmaid were at
tired in dainty white and the boys ap-
peared in blue.
They will make their home with the
groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman
Sawyer, for the winter and continue
their duties in the Ludden store.
A Lancaster Friend.

POWER AND LIGHT
FOR THE FARM HOME

One OF the latest evidences of put
ting city improvements in touch with
the farms, is the working out of sys-
tenn of rural power lines for lighting
the farm and supplying it with cleo
trio current for all purposes. Elec
trio companies everywhere are work
ing on plans to extend their service
to the farms in their territory and the
time is not far distant when the cleo
as the telephone line does to-day.
Fundamentally there is no great
difference between supplying the farm
with electricity and the present farm
telephone lines. The power lines are
more expensive to install, but once up
are considerably less to maintain and
operate. If the reader will imagine
that the wires coming to his house
carry current for lighting the home,
running the washing machine, sepa-
ratOr, saving the wood, churning and
the other diverse things around the
farm, instead of connecting to the tele-
phone, he can visualize what may
come at no distant date in every COM
munity.
The methods of financing the system
are several In some cases the electric
company builds the line for the farm
ers at a wholesale cost and sells cur
rent to them in the same manner-one
meter at the generating station serving
the entire line and users sharing the
expense and using as much current as
they see fit. OF course there is way
to regulate the current and no one
user can take more than he is justly
entitled to. The company maintains
the line free of charge for it is mani
testify to their interest to keep things
going so they can sell current at all
times. Another method is for the COM
pany to own the line and charge the
farmers just as they do their c.ry GUS
toners. This method is more expen-
sive as it requires meters at each
house and of course additional cleri-
cal help and so on to keep things right.
On the other hand it takes all the
bother and investment away from the
users of the service.
If any group of farmers intend
building power lines or having them
built it is we'll to take time and go
into the matter thoroughly so that sat
isfactory arrangements are made. If
necessary, get expert advice on the
subject just as you would on any sub
ject you were not familiar with. But
remember farmers have proven
that they can own and operate tele-
phone systems. It's only one step fur
Their to the electric lighting and power
supply of the modern farm.

YOOSe.CIiftOn.

Ed Yoose of Potosi, and Beulah Cliff
ton of South Lancaster were united in
marriage at the Presbyterian parson-
age in this city last Wednesday. Rev.
VIM. Harberts spoke the simple words
that united this worthy couple for life.
Claude Clifton, brother Of the bride,
and Miss Belscamper, niece of the
groom, accompanied them during the
ceremony. Miss Clifton is a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin Clifton, high
ly respected citizens of the south part
of the county, and is young lady who
will make Mr.. YOose an excellent help
meet. Ed Yoose is a prominent young
farmer, residing in the Hurricane
and has host of friends
who wish him and his bride every sue
cess and happiness. They will take a
short honeymoon trip to Platteville,
Dubuque and other points in Iowa, and
after returning will keep house on the
grOOm's farm. Congratulations.

Something About Foxes.

Bounty has been paid in Grant
county on 100 foxes, red and gray,
since Oct 1st last. One would hardly
believe that many reynards existed
in old Grant, but hunters state this is
not one-tenth of them. The bounty
is S150 for a male fox and twice that
for a female 1t is evident the latter
are more easily trapped or shot, for
fifty-eight of the number certified to
the county clerk are of that gender.
Where the fur is prime many hunters
waive the bounty and market the pelt,
for it is necessary to scalp the ami
NAL and send it to the clerk in order
to obtain the determination stipend.
This process mutilates the fur and re-
duces its value in consequence. 1t is
safe to estimate that $3.50 will have
been paid out by the close of the pres
ent month on fox bounties. Although
the bounty on a wolf is $40 and many
are known to abound in this county,
not single scalp has thus far this
season been brought to the court
house

MANUAL TRAINING CLASS
on THE INCREASE

That our manual training school
is growing rapidly is shown by the in
crease in the past year. Last year 40
scholars were taking the course, and
this year nearly so boys are in attend
ance. The course consists of twelve
weeks of woodworking and six weeks
of drawing According to the require
ments this work is supposed to be CIV
en- in ninety-minute periods, the wood
working course requiring three per-
iOds and the drawing, two periods
weekly. On account of the crowded
quarters Mr.. Monk is compelled to
split the courses, which makes it rath-
er unhandy and also less efficient as
the boys are likely to forget their
drawing work when the time comes
for them to take up the wood work,
and vice versa.
The ages of the boys taking the
course range from Is to Is years. Or
ders have been received for many art
icles and an order is now in from the
library for a combination magazine
and book rack. The boys have also
made number of things for use at
the school, including the moving pic
ture booth recently completed. Unless
more ample quarters are found for the
scholars, the manual training work is
likely to suffer and the schools might
lose credit if a state inspector happen
ed around.

TALES TOLD By
THE COUNTY CLERK

That the hand of Harlan Johnson,
former editor of Grant County Herald,
and now clerk of Grant county, has
lost none Of it's cunning, is evidenced
by the following interesting items Gull
ed from the documents in the county
clerks office and published in his
bright little paper, The Boscobel Dial
Enterprise:
Increase in Marriage Licenses.
A glance at the records in the office
of the county clerk at Lancaster shows
gratifying increase in marriage Ii
censes issued during the year 1915 as
compared with the years previous.
A total of 284 permits to wed were
granted in 1915, while 215 was the to-
tai in 1914, an increase of SO.
Cupid had very successful admin
istration during the year just closed,
despite the poor corn crop and other
handicaps, and good use will have to
be made of the leap year privilege by
the girls, old and young, this year to
break the hymeneaI record of 1915.
Following is a detailed statement OF
the number of licenses for each month
in the two years:
