When some mind bent to curve
into lines OF preiudices like unto the
hair of the Hottentot to seek its
kinks, sets out to pick quarrel
with newspaper, he will sooner of
later find his grounds for squaring
himself into believing just griev-
auce has been committed against
him or his, for a periodical which
fulfills its mission handles too many
matters from time to time not to
strike the note of displeasure from
somebody at intervals. Especially
is it true when such fault finder is
directed and lead on by some keen,
calculating designing adviser who
filings out the suggestions which the
Influenced" catches up and really
comes to believe are his own dig-ups
of smartness against the unsuspect-
ing newspaperman, going along the
even tenor of his way seeking to
serve society as a whole and paying
but little attention to the little Bud
die sticking round with a toe in the
path seeking to be stumped.

CREATE WAR CHEST
PLAN ADOPTED TO HAVE DEFIN-
TIE AND PERMANENT WAR FUND
FOR CHARITY WORK.

A plan has been adopted in the
fourth ward and likely to be carried
throughout the city for the establish
ment of a 'War Chest" Under the
plan the city will raise about $11, 00O
and the fourth ward has already
pledged $1,700 and stands ready to
raise it to S2,750, the money to be
used in one year for the various quo
tas as the call comes for charity work
This includes Army Y. M. G. A, Red
Cross, K. c., and other war charities
now being handled in drives" I'm
der the present plan soliciting COM
mittees have to be organized and the
money raised by personal calls. I'm
der the new plan the citizens pledge
themselves for certain amounts and
are taxed in each call according to
their percentage. AS the result is
the same in the long run the new plan
does away with continual reorganiz-
ing and solicitation.
At a meeting Of the various ward
committees held Monday evening, it
was decided that the "War Chest
plan shall be carried out in each
ward.

YOUNG MAN KILLED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
BIG SMASHUP TOOK PLACE SOUTH
OF AUPPERLE CORNER LAST
TUESDAY EVENING.
ALL FENNIMORE MEN.

Arthur Swanson, the worst hurt Of
the four men who wens into the ditch
south Of Aupperle's corner on the
Potosi road, last Tuesday evening"
passed away at DoOlittle hospital on
Thursday morning at 3 o'clock.
Swanson never regained conscious
ness from the minute the accident
took place until his death. His skull
was fractured at the base, collar bone
broken and other injuries received.
Willis Storrs, the man who had his
leg broken, was taken to Madison on
Thursday morning for further atten-
ton, Inflammation having set in. The
bone had not been set by Monday,
but the leg may be saved.
Two Ford cars containing Fenni-
more. young men were coming north
on the Potosi-Lancaster road about
1920 last Tuesday evening. The first
car contained Willis Storrs, driving,
and Fred Doane, in the front seat and
Fred Lomas and Arthur Swanson in
the rear. The first car struck the rut
in the road south of the culvert which
is about rs yards north of the Aupper-
lie school. The impact was such that
the steering gear broke and the car
careened thirty feet north to the Gull
vert abutment. The stone abutment,
about six feet long and four feet above
the ground, was broken in half by the
blow. The front Of the car was COM
pletely smashed in.
The men were all thrown from the
car. The second car containing B.
w. Cohen, Willard Morphy, Delvin
Bray and Martin Christman, came up
minute later and the four men were
picked up Storrs' leg was broken.
LOmas had three broken ribs. Doane
was barely scratched while Swanson
was unconscious and bleeding.
DR.. J. G. DoOlittle was called at
once and Swanson taken to the hos
pital. Storrs and the other men were
taken to Fennimore. The wrecked
car was tOwed home the next day.
Mr. Swanson's relatives were here
Thursday and took the body to Ban
COR, Wis, his home for burial He
at the Heberlein jeWelry store in Fen
nimOre. He was quiet young man of
high qualities.
DOane and Lomas could hardly de-
scribe the accident saying it happen
ed in a seconds time. The rut ex-
tended across the road and was evil

adam road of the Improvement put in
a year ago last summer. The rut had
been covered with straw but since the
accident has been filled up with crush
ed rock. The men said their car was
going at a good rate Of speed when
it struck the rut.

JUNIORS HAVE BIG
DAY LAST SATURDAY.

Our Junior Red Cross people were
busy tagging from early morning
throughout the day, Saturday, and the
proceeds Of the work amounted to
$237.65. With but few exceptions ey-
eryone in town wore a tag having
paid from cents to S. for it. Each
ward was taken care Of by commit
tee and responded literally but the
largest returns were Of course from
those who worked on the main streets
and at the station. Workers as we'll
as those who contributed enjoyed. the
day which gave everyone an oppor-
tunity to manifest in this work of
mercy undertaken by the school.
All funds and dues are retained for
local work and are used in purchas-
ing supplies to be used in school, A
portion Of the substantial amount for
start, goes to make every member
Of the Lancaster schools member Of
the Junior Auxiliary of the local
branch Of American Red Cross. The
larger part of the expenditures are
for Belgian and French relief work
among the children. Most Of the work
so far accomplished has been upon
materials collected, such as yarn,
scraps Of cloth and old clothing.
Each response Saturday was in
deed for the same ultimate purpose
as all previous Red Cross collections,
but is in no way connected with the
activities Of the present war fund
drive. The interest and wide-awake
work of some Of the "taggers" proved
on inspiration to some Of those who
assume the duties of this weeks can
vass, and although the tag day was
planned for May 4th, it stirred pas
sive interest into an active one in
the bigger work that is just begin
ming on the part of some of our
grOWn-ups.
Since President Wilson by procla-
nation created the Junior Red Cross,
this phase Of the American Red Cross
activity has performed real work in
the war life Of the nation.
Primarily the aim of the Junior
work is to inculcate patriotism and
humanity. Secondarily the activities
include vocational training in pro-
ducing supplies needed by the Red
Cross in military and civilian relief.

girls in school can serve the whole
world. This work brings into the
schools an emphasis upon service,
and service that children can render.
1t is distinctly in accord with one of
the fundamental ideas of thrift; it is
d1scouraging the idea Of wastefuIness.
John H. Finley, Commissioner of
Education FOR New York state, speaks
OF the school children in the Red
Cross as follows: 1--WE must let them
know why we are in The war and we
must let them know that we are fight
ing, not simply to make the world
safe for democracy but we are fight
ing to make it safe for them, and we
want them to take a part in this great
struggle for human liberty-a con-
sc1ous part in it. They are to rebuild
the world again-the institutions of
freedom and Justice; they are to re-
build to strengthen and enlarge
them" *&*

DID DEATH CAR JUMP?

1t is stated on reliable authority
that the Ford car that struck the cul-
vert near the Aupperle school house
last Tuesday evening, actually leaped
twenty-seyen feet through the air!
Measurements were taken the next
morning following the disaster and
the wheel marks showed to the south
side Of the rut It is said that no
wheel marks existed north OF the rut
as far as the abutment. The theory
is that the Ford, travelling at a high
rate Of speed, struck the rut and &C
tually leaped with the occupants to
the abutment where it lodged. The
force of the blow must have been ter
rife as the abutment, piece of con-
crete six inches across, feet high
and feet long, was split in half on
the south side.
