act, but it is evident that the radi-
Gals were afraid. 1t has been rum

senator had the goods on lot of his
colleagues. What the nature of the
knowledge is, is not given out. But
evidently many senators were afraid
to arouse his resentment

ONE PHONE CENTRAL?
MOVEMENT AGAIN ON TO CONSOL.
lDATE OFFICES MATTER SET
TIED ON JANUARY 20.

Again the movement is on TO con-
sol1date the workings of the Farmers
telephone and Bell, so far as the city
OF Lancaster is concerned This was
brought up at the annual meeting of
the Farmers line, held two weeks
ago today. Attorney r. M. Orchard
brought the matter up and argued it
with zest and interest. But nothing
was done, except to put it off until a
meeting of the Farmers directors
which will be held on January 90.
Then it is expected that the subject
will be threshed out. In the mean
timeS those interested in the Farmers
company seem to regard such a COM
bination as not entirely desirable.
But that will be arranged on the goth.
AS the proposition now comes. it is
asked that one switchboard be used
in Lancaster. Already the two COM
panies use a common switchboard at
Bloomington. the Farmers company
doing the work Other Offices in the
county have a consolidated service,
and the Bell people contend that a
like service in Lancaster would effect
a great saving to patrons. AS the
matter now stands, the Farmers Co.
has 436 phones in service in Lancas-
ter city. and the Bell has about 300
The Farmers have 1886 phones in use
in the county, of their own. with
working arrangements with other To-
cal companies to bring the number
above 5000.

work, but the brace rods in the gym

CAMP GRANT AS A
VOCATIONAL SCHOOL.

Camp Grant has been selected as
one of the eighteen cantonments in
the United States at which recon
struction work among convalescent
soldiers is to be carried out on a
large scale. The educational section
will consist of classes in subjects
such as arithmetic, geography, spell
ling, short hand, typewriting, agricul-
ture and dairying. Everything along
the line of a trade will be included,
such as electrical work, molding and
designing. 1t is thought that com
plete farm will be established this
spring with dairy in connection to
give students practical experience
The work is not done solely to teach
the soldiers trade, but as curative
process to get the minds of the men
off themselves and their ailments
The training will not be compulsory,
nor will the men be held in service
to complete courses, it being the in
tention of the authorities to send
them home as soon as they are able

THE CITY COLLECTOR
RAKING IN THE COIN.

City Treasurer Frank B. Calls is
a little more than half through with
his duties as collector of 1913 taxes
and he finds the shedding good. Sell
dom has he had. in all his years as
collector, such cheerful payments as
this year. This is due in part to the
slight, but appreciated, reduction in
amounts. although there is an occa-
sional protest because of increase in
assessment.
Up to last FRIDAY night the total
amount received on real and personal
taxes was $22,O99.98; on incomes
$625.27. The total volume of the real
and personal roll was $43, 35O76; OF
incomes. $3295.76. A good part OF
the latter is absorbed by offsets OF
personal property claims and exemp-
tions. Collections opened Dec. IT,
with $17459 The largest DAVIS col
lection was Jan. 6, S2,09926 But this
was not record day. Penalty goes

While Mrs. JAS Hodoval and daugh-
ter, Mrs. Chas. Wieland, Of Hurri-
cane neighborhood, were visiting in
Iowa two weeks ago, they witnessed
an appalling disaster in their own
kinship. The ladies' visited relatives
at Oxford Jet, Iowa, their former
home, and intended to visit the Frank
Blizek family, second cousins, who
lived near town. The visit was post
poned as the Blizeks had the flu On
Thursday. week ago the doctor
called at the Blizek home to see the
family of parents and three children
who were seriously ILL., He left the
place at noon About half past one
a neighbor noticed smoke and going
over found the house a mass of en-
bers. The charred bodies of the five
persons were found in the ruins The
case is being investigated as it has
mysterious aspects. No cause is
known for the fire and tragedy.

LEGISLATIVE SMALL
TALK-BIG DOINGS

Last weeks legislative business
was all shot to pieces by the impend-
ing dry move. 1t was Friday before
the assembly got around to take a
vote. And then there had been so
much talk and buttonholing that dis
cussion was tabooed Some of the
socialists insisted on talking, but
they were soon squelched. Assembly
man George H. Hood made a ten
minute speech in which he declared
the eloquence of William Jennings
Bryan and Daniel Webster could not
change a vote, so why waste time
with discussion. This was loudly ap-
plauded, and then the roll was called.
The vote was So for passing the
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton to 80 against And the most of
the negative votes were by men whose
names are of aeforeign spelling. AL
most every man with an American
name voted dry The senate had al
ready passed the resolution by a big
majority
1t is certain that law will be
passed that will knock foreign Ian
man, Norwegian, Polish and other
foreign tongues. American language
will prevail in Wisconsin at last.
Senator Schultz is the author of a
bill to cut all foreign languages out
of grade schools. This is certain of
passage.
There is strong movement to try
and help the farmer in the matter of
marketing. Already % states have
marketing laws, and it is felt that
Wisconsin is laggard in this partic-
ular. The points covered will prob
ably be:
Regulations to prevent cornering
of farm products.
Facilities for acquainting farmers
with latest marketing information.
Reports at intervals as to quality
and quantity of crops.
Centralizing of states educational
work in land and crop developments.
Cooperation with United States
bureau of markets and state depart
ments.
Classifying, grading and standard
izing of receptacles for farm pro-
ducts.
Standard rules for use of labels,
marks and brands of all farm pro-
ducts. Variations from standard to
be marketed for benefit of the buyer.
Inspection of farm product supplies
on hand at a certain time whether in
storage or in active market.
Emergency powers contingent for
such steps as may be necessary to
prevent shortage and scarcity of es-
sential farm produce.

$3.50 FOR ARMENIA AND SYRIA.

At the Union Thanksgiving service
held at the Congregational church on
Sunday evening an excellent offering
Of $152 was received, which has since
been supplemented to $160. This,
however, does not represent the com
munity's quota for this noble cause,
which is one half of one per cent of
the Fourth Liberty loan, or about
1875 Therefore it is suggested that
those who did not have the opportuni-
ty of giving at the union service may
leave their contribution at the Union
State bank as sooE as possible.

WRITTEN IN u. S. TONGUE.

VIM. Wetter was in the Herald Of.
flee the other day and told us that
the Liberty Insurance company had
notice not long ago, from the state
commissioner of insurance, that all
policies of insurance must be written
in English-which is that they must
be in the tongue of your Uncle Sam
uel, splendid revision of the Eng
lish. But the fellows at Liberty beat
the commissioner to it by about sew
en- years. Not policy has been writ
ten in the German text for that space
Of time
There have been other infractions
on the language proposition than by
the Germans. Many Norwegian and
Swedish, as we'll as Polish and other
transplanted tongues, have been
writing insurance in this good coun-
try. But not again. American Ian
guage for Americans is now the rule.
A move was on to knock the word
German" out of the name, but this
was not acted on at the annual meet
ing.

HANGED HIMSELF TO
WOODHOUSE RAFTER

August Koch, an unmarried man
who has lived all his life in or near
the village of Cassville, committed SUI
icide by hanging on Wednesday morn
ing early. Deceased was 50 years of
age, and in comfortable worldly cir
cumstances. No cause is known for
the rash act
It seems that August lived with a
brother, Adam, and on Wednesday
morning August got up early as was
his custom. He built the kitchen fire,
called his brother and then started
for the barn to do the chores. When
Adam went out to call his brother to
breakfast he found his body hanging
to rafter in the woodshed. He call
ed help, in the meantime cutting the
body down. Life was not extinct,
but before medical help arrived, he
died. Deceased was highly respected
in the Cassville section. Funeral was
held on Saturday last, burial was
made in the Glen Haven cemetery.

loaded.
Nebraska turned the trick, much to
the pleasure of its most prominent
citizen, William Jennings Bryan. 1t
was nip and tuck between Nebraska,
Missouri and Minnesota, and Neb
won out in spirited rush at the
wire. What the score is we know
not, for we have not seen definite
figures since Wisconsin voted, but
there must be as many as, 40 on the

Michigan made blunder and must
cast her vote again. This will be
done as the Wolverine state has been

inevitable sweating
Last fall was a lively one at the
warehouse, and about 100000 pounds
of "smokin' and chewin'" was taken
on. The quality is said to be fine,
better than in 1917. But the market
is now uncertain. Last fall the price
went as high as 80 cents a pound.
