LOCAL GIRL HAS
THRILLING RIDE
GRACE HOLZINGER TAKES
AIRSHIP TO ST. PAUL

Upon being asked at a Kiwanis ban
quet Friday evening if she would go
for ride in the air on Saturday after
noon, little did Miss Grace Holzinger
of Lancaster, think that Captain c. l..
Everson was in earnest when she an
swered, Surely" But it all came
true when at two o'clock on Saturday
the pilot who was a student at the
University of Wisconsin last year cal
led for Miss Holzinger. She was
dressed in black and white checked
riding habit and cap. They started
from the Salzer landing field. They
landed there also, but it was three
hours later for they had gone as far
as the twin cities, stopped for an ice
cream soda there and then back to
Lacrosse. On being asked by re-
porter if she felt at all frightened,
Miss HolZinger said, 1T was a very
queer sensation when we first started,
but after we had been flying for
while it seemed hardly any different
from riding in an automobile, only OF
course we were in the air"
Miss Holzinger attended the Uni
versity of Wisconsin last year and is
now completing a course in physical
education at Lacrosse. Captain Ever
son is attending an Air Pilot institu
ton in Baltimore. ***

DIST. BUTTERMAKERS MEETING

The district ASSOCIATION OF butter-
makers, comprising Grant, Iowa and
Lafayette counties, met in Lancaster
last Tuesday evening. The principal
topic for discussion was the feasible
ness of employing field man to work
among the farmers to assist them in
improving their cream grades. Butter
is scored according to quality the
score ranging from SO to as low as ST..
BY better methods of handling cream,
quicker delivery, etc, the buttermak-
ers hope to build the score up to the
highest point and then hold it there.
This will mean top prices for butter
and more profits for farmers and
creameries.

APPLE ORCHARDS AND
TROUT DRAW TOURISTS

Apple orchards, miles and miles of
'em in blossom, and speckled brook
trout swimming in plain view by the
hundreds, drew many Lancaster mo-
florists on lengthy trip Sunday after
noon.
The orchards are located on ridges
above Gays Mills in Crawford county
and the high road winds through
them The trees are young and as
time goes on the already interesting
the cherry blossoms of Door county
peninsula
The trout pond is located two miles
northeast of Gays Mills at Pinehurst
Trout Farm, Robt. Collins, Prop.
Mrs. Collins started the hatchery
about seven years ago. 1t is an
accredited state hatchery allowing
sale of trout at all seasons of the
year. There are several ponds con-
tanning trout at various stages of
development from fry and finger
lings up to big fellows six years old
and a couple of feet long.
Mr.. Collins practices artificial pro-
pagation squeezing the eggs from
the females and fertiliZing them with
milt from the males. This is done
in December. The eggs are placed
on shallow screens that lie in long
troughs. After 81 days the trout
develop and drop through the screens
to the bottom. They live for 21 days
on part of the egg attached to their
gills and then start on their long
career toward the epicure's table.
Mr.. Collins lets the visitors watch
all they like and accommodatingly nets
what they want-at dollar a pound
For an unusual treat they are worth
it-that is the trout.
Pinehurst is some place. Pines
all around, tables for picnicking,
sweet milk and apple pie-say, this
is the life!
Go over any day. It's worth it.

The ANALYSIS of census by muni

pality shows an alarming drop in the
population of the rural areas while the
incorporated villages and cities have
grown slightly Jamestown and Patch
Grove are the only two exclusively
rural sections without cities or viii
lagos that have increased in popula-
ton in the past twenty years. The
others have gone backwards. What
the reason is remains matter of
conjecture. Probably the abandon
ment of grain farming and the in
PRODUCTION of dairy and stock farm
ing making necessary heavier invest
ments and larger pastures.
