HOLSTEIN BREEDERS MEET.
Bad Weather Reduced Attendance
Election of Officers Discussion.

The third annual meeting of the
Grant County Holstein Breeders As
ISOLATION was held in the city hall
in Lancaster last Thursday afternoon,
but owing to the threatening weather,
only small number of the members
were in attendance.
The order of business called first
for an election officers to serve during
the ensuing year as follows:
President-Jay Morse, Mt. Hope.
Vice Pres.-Lee Brookins, Bloom
ington.
Secretary Frank Horton, Fenni-
more
Treasurer. D. Roesch, Lancas-
ter.
Executive Committee-Wm. Vein
brenner and Clyde Farris.
B. F. Fries of Richland Center, a
prominent Holstein breeder, talked
along general lines relating to the in
dustry such as feeding, breeding, etc.
Mr.. Fries is the man who recently
brought the top price of $495 apiece
for six Holsteins at the Lake Mills
sale held last month. He owns Aggie
Texal Wayne End, an animal that pro-
duced 30.596 lbs of butter in seven
days, and 21,271 pounds of milk, with
1918 pounds of butter in one year.
In speaking of what the Holstein in
dustry has done for certain sections,
Mr.. Fries stated that Livingston,
Mich, in 1893 was the poorest county
per capita in that state. In 1913 the
same county ranked the highest in
wealth and, incidentally, the region
within twelve miles of Howell, the
county seat, had the largest amount
of registered Holsteins of any SINH
lar territory in the country.
Mr. Fries delivered a talk at YES
per early in the week and left here

W. c. LIVINGSTON A CANDIDATE.

In this weeks Herald is published
the political announcement OF W. c.
Livingston, present treasurer OF Grant
county. Mr.. Livingston's record and
character is perhaps too well known
to require elaboration, but the Herald
has always found him to be thorough
ly interested in his work and man OF
great courtesy.
The various reports on county fin
ances appearing in this paper were
compiled largely through Mr.. Living
tons help, which he was glad to rem
der at all times. He has lived IN
Grant county practically all his life,
and halls from the village bearing his
family name. His many friends will
doubtless remember him when they
go to the polls next September.

A NEW NOSE FOR HIM.
(PIatteville Journal.)

DR.. Cunningham performed very
successful operation on the nose OF
Oswald Gallon last week. 1t will be
remembered that the boy was bitten
by a horse, which deprived him OF
part of his nose. The operation con-
sisted of grating skin from the cheek
and arm, and it was necessary to take
more than one hundred stitches. There
is little local work still to be done,
but in the meantime, Mr.. Gallon is
highly delighted with the acquisition
of part of a nose.

A MUSCODA PRACTICAL JOKE.
Muscoda Progressive

When a certain individual who lives
in our village was seen on the streets
one evening recently people would
cross to the opposite side. Why
Some practical joker smeared Limbur-

come in contact.
The victim is still looking for the
culprit or culprits who perpetrated
this dastardly act.
