SPEEDS LECTURE
PLEASES AT NORMAL

James Speed. editor of the
Southern Agriculturist, who
spoke at the Eastern Normal last
night, said that he had early III
life learned to understand III a
small way the sounds which all
animal life use for Communlca-
ton. In fact. he remarked quite
casually that he had learned both
dog Latin and hog Latin" and
at once illustrated what he meant
with clever limitations Of many
banks, yelps, Srunts and squeals.
Later he talked quietly but effec-
lively about several trips he had
made into the Bluegrass to study
bird life with a camera. His
many exquisite lectures of bird
life and odd bits of scenery held
his audience because each indivld-
ual was able to see the woods and
wild fields during the round OF
the seasons.
The lecture. or rather the talk.
for it was absolutely informal
from start to finish. will go a long
way toward making the students
who were present observers Of
the Out OF Doors. 1t was espcc-
tally timely because spring is al
most at hand and everyone is
more inclined to Dame Nature
and the things she is doing to
change a world which seems dead
into 4 restless, very much alive

ROB ROAD WORKER OF
S1O4 AT PLATTEVILLE

FAYETTEVILLE - William Harris
horn, an employee of the state high
way commission, was :he victim of
bold highwaymen Thursday night
while on his way home.
He had just received his check
from Madison for 26 days labor in
October, amounting to S104. AS he
reached the intersection of East Main
street and Broadway, two men step
street and Broadway, two men came
preached him.
The taller of the two, without warn
ing, locked his arms about Hartshorn
and held him while his companion
went through his clothes. Thirty-six
dollars in currency was taken from
Hartshorn in addition to the check
and he was robbed of his stick pin
and watch. A ring was so tightly set
that the robber abandoned the task of
trying to remove it.
When the victim had been thor
oughly searched, the robbers released
him but not until he had been roughly
kicked in the side.
Hartshorn says he is positive he
can identify both men if he ever meets
them again. No clue as to the identi
lily of the robbers was found. The
robbery was committed about mid
night in a section of the city usually
very quiet at this hour
The check, issued by the state high
way commission and payable at the
bank of Platteville, was ordered
stopped.

GREAT DYNAMITE CHARGE
LOOSENS SIDE OF BLUFF.

A rock supply sufficient to last
for two years was uncovered when
2,000-pound charge of dynamite
was exploded at Eagle Point by the
Eagle Point Lime Works Thursday
morning at O'Clock. The whole
side of the bluff was torn away by
the force OF the explosion, which
loosened enough rock for a two-year
supply for the lime works.
1t was the largest shot ever put
off by the local concern and went
without a hitch The blast was
heard only a short distance away,
although reverberations were felt
throughout the city.
AS the switch was closed on the
spark gap which set off the charge
there was mighty upheaval. The
whole side of the bluff rose gently
for about 20 feet and settled down
gradually with a ~oar.
A huge rock weighing several
tons crashed over the bluff, rolled
down the hill and tore portion
from a summer kitchen at the home
of William Gilbert on Lime street.
The damage done will total several
hundred dollars.-Dubuque Times

FAT MEN HONEST BUT
MIND EMPTY-EXPERT

Frederick S. Whitney of New York,
an expert on bonding business risks,
said the following in part before a
body Of Dubuque business men re-
Gently:
1--WE never bond a race track man,
not because they are primarily dis
honest, but because they live in a
bad atmosphere They are gamblers
and one day have a fortune and the
next are broke. Likewise, an oil
producer is a very poor risk and
oftentimes when a man with a good
record goes to the oil fields, he be-
comes oily in more respects than
one.
Married Man An o. h.
Theatrical people are poor risks
for bonds, because, like the race
track man, they live in bad atmois
phere. They see life and luxury
about them and the box office men,
who are associated closely with
wealth, many times are overcome by
the desire to live the same way"
Married men arc better risks than
bachelors and the Crank or "nut, y
whether he be a crank on money, in
surance or law, is considered a good
man to trust. The "good-fellow" or
smooth guy" is poor risk and the
profane man is an exceptionally good
risk, because if he has grudge
against society or his fellow men he
takes it out by making the air in
his immediate vicinity blue.
Fat men are usually honest.
When eating, they are satisfied and
busy app eciating their dinner and
their mind is a blank, and when they
are not eating they are thinking of
when their next meal will come. Be-
ware of thin men with the lean and
hungry look-they think too much. .

BOAR'S TUSK FATAL TO
CASSVILLE YOUNG MAN

Roger Winner, young farmer resid-
ing about six miles north OF Cassyilie,
succombed Tuesday evening follow
ing an operation in which his leg was
amputated, this being necessitate1
when infection set in on an injury re-
ceived when he was attacked by 4
savage hog Sunday.
Winner went over to the farm Of
Mrs. Emma Metcalf Sunday to drive a
hog home which had strayed from his
place when suddenly the madden ed
animal turned and furiously attackc
him He was knocked down, the ami
NAL viciously biting him in the calf Of
the leg Herman Schneider, who saw
the encounter from the house, rushed
to Winners assistance and dubbed
the animal Off but when he started to
lead him toward the house the infur-
lated beast again turned to the a.
tack. Schneider finally succeeded il.
driving the animal away he took
the injured man over to the Metcalf
home but not before he lost ns.der-
able blood due to 6 severed artery,
the flow of which tne rescuer tried 10
staunch by knotting a handkerchief
around the wound.
Medical aid was Immediately sum
moned but it was some time before Il
physician could be reached due to
faulty telephone connections. Every
thing that medical aid could do was
done, but despite every nrecautior
infection set in and in the hope OF
saving the patients life it was de-
cided to amputate his limb.
Lr. Palmer of CassviHe and Or.
Doolittle OF Lancaster successfully
performed the operation Tuesday
afternoon, but it proved unavailing as
Winner passed away about O'Clock
in the evening.
His tragic death has caused dee1
sorrow among the many friends of the
family and sincorest sympathy is ex-
pressed for the young wife, also the
mother, Mrs. Ella Winner, of this viii
lage. The funeral will be held Friday

DOLLAR DAY BIGGEST
TRADING EVENT IN
LANCASTER HISTORY

Saturday Nov. 9Th, was the biggest
trade day in the history of Lancaster
so old merchants told the Herald man
Monday morning.
The day of bargains, advertised in
the Herald last week, was such a.
success that it was almost too much
OF success. Stores opened at regular
hours and many ran out of bargains
by $3.50 o'clock. The roads leading
to the city were hamming with cars
at $50 o'clock. Customers lined up
in front Of stores and sWooped in
when the doors opened.
When the specific bargains were ex-
hausted the merchants threw out
other fine offerings and saw that if
possible no one went away disappOint-
ed.
All day long the trade continued and
until after night people were going
home with bundles of all descriptions.
The fine weather and fine array of Of
ferings had done what the Herald
predicted they would do-bring an
army of buyers.
The buying public seemed univers-
ally pleased and we'll they might as
the word of the merchants through the
Herald was kept to the letter-things
were truthfully advertised without
bunk or camouflage and the public for
miles around came to trade. CustO-
mers were in local stores from be-
yond Platteville, FennimOre, Bloom
ington and Potosi. Customers were
here who had never been here before
and they liked the town so we'll that
they promised to come back right
often.
The merchants were also universal
ly well pleased. Such expressions as
the following were heard Monday:
Biggest day we ever had
''Some busy day"
Couldn't wait on all the custo-
mers"
People in we never saw before"
Dollar day a wonderful success.
Completely sold out"
Printers ink is certainly wonder
full"
Our customers were all pleased"
Greatest trade day in history OF
Lancaster"
These and similar expressions in
dictate that merchants did a splendid
business and were pleased to salts
fly the public demand for goods. Super
advertising and honest merchandise
ing made the day big success.
The Herald now announces another
Dollar Day on Saturday, Nov 26.
We are dating this far enough ahead
so the merchants can arrange their
stocks and avoid running out and
disappointing customers. Advertising
copy will be called for on Wednesday
Nov 16 and should be ready for us
without any subsequent calls or de
lay.
The next Dollar Day will be like the
last-full of honest values and with
the word of the Herald and the adj
vertisers that the bargains are gen
uine and we'll worth while. Many OF
the offerings will be new. Watch for
the next announcement. We will cover
the trade territory

CONFIDENTIAL REPORT ON
MONTH OCTOBER WEATHER

Thomas A. Blair, Meteorologist for
the Dubuque Weather Office. sends the
Herald the following resume of Octo-
Der weather The weather is a never
| failing subject of interest. People
meet and say, Fine day, isn't it?'
You tell en- is the CHEEKY response.
Or maybe the day is stormy but the
subject of the brief conversation is
always the same. This is what hap
pened in October:
TEMPERATURES II The average
temperature of the month was only
slightly above normal The unusual
feature of the temperature was the
fact that the second half of the month
was considerably warmer than the
first half, despite the fact that it is
normally IA degrees colder at the end
of October than at the beginning. The
highest temperature, " degrees oc-
Cured on the 10Th, and the lowest,
SO degrees, on the Sth
FROSTS-Light frosts occurred on
the 4th and 10th, and heavy frosts on
the Sth and 18th. There were no
frOsts after the 18th, and no killing
frost during the month. This is the
first time in 81 years that no killing
frost has occurred in October at this
station
PRECIPITATION - The rainfall
amounted to 3.43 inches, which is 0.75
inch more than the average The
greater part of it fell in moderately
heavy showers well distributed
through the month. There was a trace
of snow on the 7th and the 18th.
RIVER-The Mississippi continued
at a low stage with only small fluc-
tuations during the month.
EFFECT OF WEATHER ON CROPS
Conditions were generally favora-
BILE for the progress of fall work. Ow-
ing to the warm weather and the abb
Gence of killing frosts, some late po-
tatoes and late garden truck contin-
ued growing nearly to the end of the
month, and these very late potatoes
in general yielded better than those
maturing earlier.
