FEDERAL REPORTS BUOYANT, BUT
EVERYTHING RESTS ON FROST
MAMMOTH YIELD.

The monthly crop report received
this week from Madison expresses
throughout buoyant note and claims
mammoth production on matured
crops to date. Frost has appeared in
the northern section, doing damage to
late potatoes, and yields in the south
ern belt have been curtailed by dry
weather.
The corn crop is satisfactory but
from two to three weeks late Three
weeks of favorable weather are requir-
ed to put an average crop in the clear.
Grant county corn and potatoes are es-
timated to be 81 per cent of full crop
at present. This is the highest for
this district of five counties, as rep
resented by the following, and above
the state average.

The Red Cross has sent out a call
for knitted sweaters, muff1ers, wrist
lets and socks in great quantities be
fore cold weather sets in. Grant
county's aportiOnment is 1000 articles.
Lancaster is expected to furnish one
fourth of this amount, or 100 sets-a
set consisting of sweater, Wristlets,
muff1er and socks.
The Red Cross will undertake to
provide yarn and all necessary in
structions, and Grant county women
are urged to get behind the organiza-
ton and put the work through with
all possible speed.
The cold, damp winters which pre-.
all along the western fighting front
will work a great hardship on Uncle
Sans boys, according to Red Cross
experts on the ground, unless they
are rovided with every possible safe
guard to health Nothing that could
be produced by the already Over-taXed
knitting plants of the country could
possibly compare with the home knit
ted articles for warmth and comfort.
The local Red Cross treasury must be
replenished before yarn can be bought
in large quantities, and contributions,
no matter how small, are asked from
every man, woman and child in this
community. Contributions may be
left at any bank, or at Red Cross
headquarters.
Contributions already have been re-
ceived as follows: Muff1er and sweat
er, Mrs. George B. C1ementson, Sr. );
sweater, two mufflers, mitts, Mrs G,
H. Baxter; Cash, Miss Portia Sho-
walter, Miss Edith Ziegler, Mrs. Belle
Dudley Smith, Mrs. d. E. Curtis.

DANE COUNTY SHERIFF SLEEPS,

What's his name, the high sheriff of
Dane county, went to sleep on the job
last Saturday when he released from
custody one T. J. Hoover (not the food
directory wanted here by Sheriff Yves
Hymer on forgery charge. Hoover
passed a bad check on local bank
last spring and got away with $40.
Mr.. Hymer located him soon after at
Madison, but by that time Hoover had
done something there and was in jail
for seven long months. Mr.. Hymer
left word that he wanted the culprit
here when his sentence was out. Hoo
yer was released Saturday, as the Dane
county officials had forgotten about the
Grant county case. They promise now
to look him up again.

PETITION CIRCULATED
FOR RELOCATION
OF PROPOSED ROAD

Joseph T. Bennett circulated a pc
ton last week asking that the prOpos
ed federal road between Lancaster and
Platteville be routed by way of Ellen
bOro on the regular traffic lines in
stead of via Rockville as proposed by
the state highway commission. The
distance from the Aupperle corner and
from Rockville to Platteville is
the same-thirteen miles. The county
highway commissioner, the county
road commission and all persons ap-
preached think the change highly pro-
per and feasible. This petition is on
file at Mr.. Benefits store. AS large
number of signers will have a greater
weight, every good roads booster is
requested to call at the store and sign
the petition.

Business Failure.

w. Morgan tells this, apropos
of business depression:
t''Some time ago a weary look
ing hobo rambled up the garden
walk of a suburban home and
meekly tapped on the back door.
Lady he remarked most
tearfully,' | don't want you to
think I'm a tramp. Uutil u few
weeks ago | had good hand
laundry, but it failed me, and
since | have hardly had enough
to eat.
THAT is too bad, remarked
the good woman as she began to
hand the hobo all kinds of sand
wiches. How did the laundry
come to fail you?'
''It was this way, answered
the tramp, stuffing the fodder in
his pocket and starting ror the
gate. She got tired Of working
and went home to her mother. =

Part Of Road Built
By Confederates.
Novel Experience Is Promised
Veterans Who Attend An
nual Reunion in Richmond

Confederate veterans who tra-
vel to Washington over the Sou
thern railway to attend the an
nnal reunion May 2S-June %,
1917, will ride over one stretch,
forty-eight miles in length,
which was built by Confederate
soldiers and has remained as
perhaps the most permanent
monument of any worF done by
the Confederacy. This is the
line between Greensboro, N. G.
and Danville, Va, now a part
of the Southern's Atlanta Wash
ington line.
~ When the war began there was
no railroad connecting the Rich
mond q Danville with the
North Carolina system Of rail-
roads. The Confederate suthori-
ties saw the strategic value of
such line and were able to
bring to bear sufficient pressure
to overcome the obstacles which
had previously stood, ilsthe way
of its construction, soNf'ig to the
rivalry Of North garolina and
Virginia. each state seeking to
protect its oWnrail ilway'interests.
The necessary rails were procured
BY tearing up other roads, and
when, at the close Of the war,
the line was confiscated by the
United States as one of the as
sets of the Confederacy, there
was prolonged litigation before
the Richmon & Danyille secured
undisputed title.
The origin of the line is re-
membered in many in lacal t. a.
ditions and names, among them
Tennessee curve,N said to have
been so called because the grad
ing at this point was done by
men of Tennessee reiment.
Since the Southern railway
undertook its extensive improve
ment program this entire line
has been double-tracked, but
very few changes were found
necessary in the location as de-
termined by the wartime engf-
neers.-Chattanooga News.
