SAW THE INAUGURAL
GRANT COUNTY CONTINGENT RE-
TURNS FROM TRIP EAST LOOK
ING FAT AND SASSY.

e. L. Mccoy and E. J. Austin came
home last Saturday noon from their
trip to Washington, Judge GOOdsell re-
turning the same evening. They all
looked we'll and spoke highly of their
trip to Washington.
Accommodations were secured in adj
vance so that while there were thous-
ands of visitors in Washington, the
party had no difficulty in finding a
resting place. They arrived Sunday
evening and on Monday were fortunate
enough to secure seats in a stand all
enterprising merchant had erected
over his store front A full view of the
entire proceedings was available for
81 per seat The day was raw and
cold wind swept the streets making
the presidents address difficult of
hearing, although his person was Wis
ible at all times.
The balance of the week was spent
in sight seeing a friend taking the
party all over the city in his car All
the places of Importance in Washing
ton are guarded including the navy
yard, and the White House and no Wis
itOrs are allowed. This action is on
account of the present crisis.
Feeling in the east seems to be un-
animOusly behind the president Sen
ator LaFollette was much in evidence
on the day of the filibuster and seem
ed to be looking better than ever. The
Washington papers are exceptionally
bitter toward the Wisconsin man and
the other senators who locked horns
with the majority on the armed ships
measure.
One interesting reception was that
had with Vice President Marshall An
Introduction was held in his office off
the senate chamber and few jokes
were snapped The vice president is
a very common sort of a man who
likes a story. He smoked pipe and
manicured his nails while talking TO
the visitors.

TURN ON THE WATER
POTOSI VILLAGE TO TAKE VOTE
ON $4,000 Bond ISSUE
ON APRIL. 3.

Potosi village will vote on a water
system at the election April 3, when 2
proposition for $4,000 bonds will be
submitted to the voters.
The plan, if carried, will involve q
pumping plant above the village on
one of the hills where reservoir will
be installed. The hill called Mud
Range" is the site under consideration
If the voters favor the plant a con-
crete reservoir with a capacity of 108,-
600 gallons will be constructed and
water pumped from an old shaft 120
feet down. The height of the reser-
voir above the village will be ia feet
and this will give a pressure Of 575
lbs on q inch nozzle The method
of power will be either gasoline or
electricity, if the last is available The
village now has an electric lighting
system under serious consideration.
1t is said to be a fact that a water
system will reduce POtosi fire insur-
ance rates materially. This is aside
from the advantages of having ade-
Quate fire protection and pure drink
ing water.
The bond issue will be for $4,000,
one 81 900 bond to be retired annually.

THE ANNUAL SLEET SPRING INDICATIONS.
SNOW, RAIN AND SLEET STRIKES
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN, TUES
DAY AND WEDNESDAY,.

The annual March sleet, or as the
weather bureau now designates it "a
glaze, struck this portion Of the state
III the form Of wet snow Monday
night. Tuesday morning this changed
to rain and sleet and Tuesday night
the wind became a hurricane and
everything froze
The result can be easily seen. The
electric service, intermittent Tuesday
morning, failed altogether Tuesday
afternoon and is still out Wednesday
morning. The telephone companies
report their toll lines out in every di-
rection. This is caused by the heavy
coating Of sleet that covers the wires
nearly. an inch in diameter. This
weighs hundreds of pounds to the
span and the wires go down under
the strain in many cases taking the
poles with them. Between Potosi and
Lancaster, for instance, forty-fve
poles went down.
Relief was promised this morning
by the electric company who report
the trouble to be on the Interstate
lines between Platteville and Galena
At Platteville nearly all the wires of
every description are down
The Herald, in common with all the
county papers depending on electric
power, is delayed in publication.

The surest sign Of spring and one
chat precedes boys on the sidewalks

boards, township officers and city Of
nclaI, IN Lancaster there will be five

and one to fill an uneXpired term. In
the second ward Dr. Gault's term ex-
pres and the same holds for W. B.
Doll in the third, and ]. B. HOrsfall in
the fourth ward.
All the present aldermen whose
term expires have been asked to run
by their friends, and papers are out
for Will Tiller in the first ward, Geo
Beck in the second ward and Jos.
Caspers in the third ward. This week
will probably see other candidates pa
Pei . Ill CH0 u01u. III no case mas any
man made bid for the office, but each

Benefits From sleep.

Sleep is a great preserver Of youth.
Eight hours at night and short nap
during the day will do much to keep
the face free from wrinkles. Always
sleep with the bedroom window open
few Inches at the top, both in sum-
mer and in winter, says a physician.
A daily morning bath, tepid in winter
and cold in summer, with q brisk rub
to follow, will keep the skin fresh and
clear. Two hours must be passed in
the open air, walking, riding or play
Ing games. All tight clothing, and
especially tight lacing, must be avoid
ed, as compression disturbs the cir
culation and is often the cause Of en-
larged veins and red noses. A oele-
brated woman, who was famous even
In her old age for her beautiful, clear
complexion and freedom from wrin-
kles, was once persuaded to tell the
secret Of her youthful looks. The an
swer was simple. Abstinence had
been the rule of her life. No tea, cof-
fee or stimulnnt of any kind. To keep
well drink lemonade or water, eat ap-
pies, grapes and figs regularly. Take
the raw juice of a lemon every day.
Never fail to walk regularly. Battle
frequently.

LAYERS BEST FOR BREEDING
Everything to Be Gained and Nothing
Lost by Selecting Desirable
Hens In Winter.

Mark the laying hen, Any hen can
lay in the spring, but the one which
lays through the winter deserves rec
ognition by promotion to the breeding
flock.
Everything is to be gained and moth
ing lost by selecting breeding hens dur
ing winter. 1t is easy to select the lay
ing hen. Her comb is bright and red
and her pin bones will be spread apart
Hens meeting these qualifications
should be set apart with good, Wig
orous male bird. 1t Is folly to breed,
from the entire flock. BY selecting a
few Of the best birds, progress will be
made. Where no selection is practiced,
the poor producers will be used for
breeding, for even loafers will lay in
the spring. 1t is also a mistake to
breed from the immature and under
sized stock. Overfat, coarse-boned
hens or those which drop behind
should never be put in the breeding
pen. The best place for them is on
the table. Pick out the good birds and
note the improvement. Use fewer
males so that you can afford better
stock,
