EDGERToN VOTES DRY BY Is.
The Spring Election Brings Several

Surprises.
For the first time in over thirty years
the voters of Edgerton decided to try
and get along. without saloons after
July 1st. By vote of 81 to 286' we
moved up into the dry column. In one
of the largest votes ever polled in this
city, GOT being cast, the result was
surprise to most people for normally
with but one exception the city has
voted wet by IS to 100 each year the
issue was brought up. A variety of
influences have conspired to bring
about the change of sentiment, among
them the obnoxious overflow from dry
Stoughton that had Disguised the bet
ter class of our citizens and made it
easier to overcome the usual wet ma
jority. Then again, the temperance
wave under way that seems bound to
sweep the country, the urgent neces-
sity for food conservation and the pre-
vailing impression that temptation
should be removed from our soldier
boys, all played a part in the result.
Some other surprises will be found in
the detailed vote given as follows:

Worlds Liberty Birthday.

Saturday, April 6, is the first ami
versary of the entrance of America in
to war. Would you care to exhibit
your patriotism on the eve of that
eventful anniversary? What could be
more fitting than to lend aid to the Red
Cross, particularly the Junior branch.
The opportunity presents itself to the
citizens of Edgerton. Every year a
dance Immediately following Lent has
been given. The Junior class of the
high school determined upon taking
advantage of that fact this year by
doing away with the Junior Prom and
having a loyalty dance which should
take its place.
In view of the fact that Edgerton
dance patrons are so enamored of the
music rendered by Thompson's Madison
Orchestra, the organizers of the dance
decided to secure such music. The
dance will be held on Friday night,
April 5, at the Academy Hall. Thomp-
sons Orchestra will play. There will
be a patriotic program rendered, high
school patriotism will be represented
in patriotic talks by Miss Margaret
Cunningham and Lowell Slagg.
ALI who have at any time been in
vited to attend high school parties and
all who are in addition invited by high
school students, are urged to. attend.
Proceeds will be given to the Junior
Red Cross organization.

Obituary
MRS. r. E. HOPKINS.

In the death OF Mrs. Roy Hopkins,
which occurred on Wednesday of last
week, Edgerton suffered loss which
is felt not alone by many individuals as
a personal loss but by the city as
community loss.
Mrs, Hopkins had been i'll for some
time, but those who knew her had such
confidence in her reserve strength,
their hopes had been so buoyed up by
the cheerful, optimistic attitude of
remarkable woman that almost COM
plete surprise accompanied the sad
news.
In the presence of many of Mrs.
Hopkins intimate friends, the funeral
services were held in the home. Rev.
M. R. Brandt and Rev. LII. Keller
of Madison officiated. The beautiful
floral offerings were in some measure
indicative of the high esteem in which
the deceased was held.
Miss Clara Hargraves was born in
Edgerton, March II, 1880. She grad
uated from the local high school in
1897, from the Whitewater Normal
school in 1900. At both institutions
Mrs Hopkins made record in scholar
ship and in versatility which placed her
as a leader in intellectual vigor and
gave indication of exceptional future
prospects. Evidence that such indica-
tons were correct developed in her
work as a teacher 1t is still COM
monplace in Edgerton where Mrs. Hop
kins served on the high school faculty
for several years, to parallel any ex-
ceptional teaching which occurs with
that of Clara Hargraves.
On the 10Th of October, 1904, Edger-
ton celebrated wedding regarded then
and since demonstrated. as of excep-
tional fitness. On that day one of its
strongest and most respected young
men, Roy Hopkins, led to the altar
Clara Hargraves, by common consent
recognized as leader, vital force in
the community. Edgerton rejoiced
that this young couple was to remain
in it's midst. With the exception of a
few years spent at Steuben, Wis, Mr..
and Mrs. Hopkins lived their welded
life in Edgerton.
Four children were born to Mrs.
Hopkins, Norman, Stanley, Roy and
Helen. The deepest sympathy of the
community goes out to these four chill
dren who cannot know what magnifi-
cent motherhood is lost to them. To
the husband, Roy Hopkins, and to the
sister, Mrs. C. A. Wanamaker, deep
sympathy is extended, their sorrow is
realized because the great loss sus-
tanned is known.
Properly to pay tribute to Mrs. Hop
kins is difficult. A woman of rare
charm, Of. exceptional power, of splen-
did Christian ideals, there was exem-
plifed in the home which Mrs. Hopkins
helped to establish and in her broad
community influence, traits which were
developed in the traditions and inheri-
tances of home which first shaped her
life. OF gentle spirit, but of command
ing personality; of sympathetic mind,
but aggressive for the right; by nature
born to lead, unselfishly devoted to hus-
band, family and community, there is
complete union in the sentiment that
Edgerton is better because Mrs. Hop
kins lived among us, that she left the
city better than she found it.
