LAST FOR THE YEAR
MONDAY EVENING SAW CONCLU-
SION OF THE PARENT-TEACHER
EETINGS.-GOOD PROGRAM.

The essence of true patriotism
lies in the willingness to sacrifice for
ones country, just as true greatness
finds expression not in blessings re
ceived, but in good bestowed" With
this quotation from w. J. Bryan Prof
}. {. BrOckert of the Normal. cOnclud-
ed very interesting address at the
Parent-Teacher meeting last Monday
night. Prof. BrOckert's talk was fit
lngly along the lines of cooperation
and he thought that an organization
OF the kind he was speaking to foster
ed this growth
Rev. H. A. Studabaker closed the
program with talk on school better
ment. He considered that the inter
eSts OF the church and school were CO.
ordinate although this fact is not gen.
orally realized. The purpose of both
being to develop the character.
Following the program those pres
ent viewed the display OF manual
training work. In this department of
the school the 7th and 8th grade pupils
make everything by hand. The first
year class of high school is also re-
qulred to do hand work along certain
lines but in the second year the pupils
are allowed to design according to
their fancy. Library tables. reading
lamps, hall trees, serving tables, sew
ing tables, magazine racks, tool
chests, porch swing, serving cabinet,
and many other articles were shown.

THE BROWN THRUSH
A TRUE TRAGEDY.

Mother Brown Thrush flew to us
early this season. What her haste was
we did not know but early in May she
left the pleasant glade in Dixie
where she had lived all the winter,
and winged her way north for two
thousand miles. By good fortune she
came to front porch in Lancaster
that was covered with vines and there
hid among the foliage, she built fine
little nest Every day we saw her
brown coat and slender body sitt-
ing on the nest and with alert head
and soft, bright eyes, quietly brooding
There were three eggs-pale cream in
color with brown specks-and very ev-
identity they were the treasures of
Mother Thrush's heart.
The Brown Thrush like most sweet
singers, is not, as you may know. an
aggressive bird, nor is she mistrust-
full one For this reason the fortunate
householder feels a desire to protect
her and her brood But one day when
Brown Thrush was away the ugly and
jealous sparrows spoiled the nest and
broke the three eggs. Brown Thrush
seemed beWildered when she returned
and, not knowing what else to do
hung dispirited around the ruins
Of her home.
The next day bad boy happened
along. This boy is the type called "a
little rascal" One Of the kind that
doesn't go to Sunday School, is mean
to his playmates and loves to MAIN
and destroy. This boy had been lee
tured for killing birds in the neigh
borhood and when he saw Brown
Thrush he Immediately felt a desire
for revenge Why not shoot her and
show, those smarties? So Brown
Thrush fell stone dead with a bullet
right in the center Of one soft, bright
eye.
ooh, phsaw," you say, "It was only
a Brown Thrush"
Yes, 1T was only Brown Thrush.
One of the humblest and most inno-
cent of Gods creatures. But the child
rem loved her and so they buried her
with flowers on the grave, under the
big oak tree.

RAPE FOR HOGS

IN order that we may meet the de
mand for more food stuffs it seems
wise that We take steps to do SO AT
once. In view of this fact let us turn
a little OF our attention ito the Dro-
duction of more and better pork.
Hogs like MANY other of our ami
mails, alsi like human beings for that
matter, can not do their best if held
Gown at the start for lack of enough
food to build the frame and SO make
1t possible to produce the best quail
ity of meat.
10 offset the danger of not pro
ducing the best let us take steps now
to better our conditions. Nearly
every farm has a small pasture in
which to turn hogs, many of these
yards are into blower, ,lothers into
alfalfa, yet we find some that lack
either of these and grow weeds in
stead. 1t is true weeds will perhaps
brush the flies from the back but.
aside from this, will not put on flesh
'dS Wen as Otn0r crops.
A good crop for your hog pasture
mo matter how small it may be is
Rape. This crop if given a good bed
and little moisture will produce a
gOod green feed for the sows and
also the little pigs.
It may be sown alone or in com
bination with other crops Rape is
a rapid grower and is usually ready
for pasture in about weeks if not
before. When seeded alone it will
require about pounds of seed per
acre if sOwn broadcast, while if you
you are to SOW in rows about sc
pounds per acre. 1t is believed to be
the best plan to SOW rape in rows
inches apart it will take about
as the hogs will waste while feeding
since they will follow the row.
A few pounds of seed, a 2 acre
patch for your hogs, good clean water
increase in weight. I suggest that
the sooner you take steps along the
line of pasture for your hogs, the
sooner your hogs will be fit for the
market. You know you must have a
foundation on which to build a build
ing, Rape lis the foundation for q
good supply of pork. Hogs at IL
cents per pound make US wish we
had a few car loads. Plant the Rape
produce the Hog.

Mrs. Henry LOuthain,


One OF those strangely suddening
v1sltatlons which arouse the tenderest
sympathies Of a community and whose
import is shrouded in mystery touched
the hearts of the people of Beetown
on Saturday morning, May 25. 1917, in
the untimely death of Mrs. Henry Lou
thaln. Although her death had been
expected it was not thought the end
was so near. She had been a very pa
t1ent sufferer for nearly a year when
God sent his Angel of Mercy to end
her agony. All that love and skill
could do was done to save her, but the
the stern reaper whose name is death
stretched forth his relentless hand
and claimed her for his. own. Like a
rose torn in fullest bloom from it's
mate and stripped of it's lovliness by
the swift ravages of a mighty storm.
she was cut down. In the beautiful
casket she lay in sweetest repose 1t
was a sight to make the quick tears
start, and arouse questioning unan-
sWerable by human tongue. to see the
dear little children deprived so early
OF mothers tender care.
Cora May Daley was born in Lam
caster, Wisconsin, Fed. 5, 1882. She
was the third oldest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Daley, besides one
only brother who preceded her to the
Great Beyond five years ago. She was
married to Mr.. Henry Louthain of
Platteville, Dec. 16, 1903. To this un-
ion five children were born. two bows.
the Oldest, and three girls.
Those who knew her longest and
best testify to her happy tempera-
ment, CHEEKY, sunny nature. her kind
ness of heart. She enjoyed perfect
health until about year ago. She al
ways had deep sympathy for others
sufferings, and exemplifed it by offer
1ngs Of help whenever needed. Only
the hand that sent so severe a blow
can heal the wounds now aching in
the hearts that loved her. Our God
never makes mistakes. He doeth all
things well and chasteneth whom He
loveth. Alas, alas, anticipated rejoic-
ing is turned to deepest mourning.
Inc WltenOod acquaintance that rip
ened into stranger attachments and
eliminated in dearer ties, is now but
saddened sacred memory. Loves
young dream is ended, and unto the
husbands home there comes the first
great sorrow. During the terrible
hours of her illness the stricken wife
seemed to have no conception of her
own danger, and had a word of cheer
for the loved ones watching so anx-
iously about her bedside.
After short services at the home in
BeetoWn, the body was brought to
Lancaster and the funeral was held
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from
the Methodist church, Rev. Campbell
officiating. Many followed to beauti-
full Hillside where the sorrowful bur
ial was made. The pail bearers were

FROM PRAIRIE STATE
ARE WELL LOCATED,

Kearney, Neb., May 20, 1917.
To the Editor of the Herald,
Lancaster, Wise
We agreed to let some of our
friends hear from us upon our arrival
SO decided to write a letter for your
valuable paper which is a welcome
visitor to our home each week
Well to begin with, we had dandy
trip; left Henry Grebe's ON Thurs.
morning about o'clock. found good
"oads all the way o Dubuque, drove
thru there without a bit of trouble,
following the Star Route until we
reached Cascade, Iowa. Some bridge
there at Dubuque had never reen
across in auto before. Well, when
we st to Cascade, we stopped to rest
the ''Lizzie" Ions enough to get some
cas-. An old man was at the garage.
We asked him what the people in
Iowa thot of the war. well" he
sllys, eve don't like it. | have two
boys there, but | don't wish them
back as long as they are needed
there" and I guess it is the same all
over. No one tal,15i 4 anything but
war here.
We struck Cedar Rapids the mid
die of the afternoon, gas there was
PIC, the cheapest on the road. We
took the Lincoln Highway from Cas-
cade. Every telephone pole is
marked with a stripe of red. white
and blue, and a blue L. in the white
and never lest it the rest Of the trip
AS we were entering the limits of
Tama, Ia, there was a rock bridge
were the words, ''Lincoln Highway"
and in large letters cut in the rock
We camped the first night about as
miles west of Cedar Rapids, had a
lllttle shower in the evening, but good
roads all the next day. AS we neared
MarshalltOwn, Ia, we hit our first
cement. road for about 2 miles out.
They are great, it is too bad there
can't more be built AS we left we
read on large billboard "To Omaha,
GOodby." We reached there about l
o'clock Saturday Had the white
gravel roads about 4 miles east Of
Council Bluffs, then the cement road
On west of Omaha making a fine
stretch to speed in if we had been
allowed. We camped our last night
inNebr about miles from Schuyler.
We all slept fine every might, and
couldn't get enough to eat at meal
time. Such an appetite as riding
ney Sunday P NJ at o'clock, rather
glad to be able to walk for awhile
The city of Kearney has grown
wonderfully in the years we were
away. All the main treets paved, and
parked, and lot of business of all
kinds. The children never tire of the
trains as the u. P and Burlington
10th run in here. We saw several
steam tractors, drawing or discs
or 4 ir 5 plows, after we got into
Nebraska on the level ground. 1t is
fun to run a car here as you din't
need to worry about running into a
bank or backing down hill. We had
no car trouble at all on the trip and
''the Lizzie is still able to travel.
Had we come week sooner would
never got thru for mud, and have
had lots of rain since, so we certainly
hit the right time. For fear this is
growing. tiresome, we will close, but
could tell much more of interest.
