Opposed 10 the mandatory system,

discloses the amazing fact that he

could have been prevented by resig-

CITY PLANNING FOR
REAL STREET PAVING.

The board of public works is MAX
ing plans to pave the depot street
from the Wright house to Geo. B.
Clementson's residence. The upper
part of this street is mire in wet
weather and a Great American Des-
ert in dry times. The permanent i'm
provement is the first for Lancaster
and will be paid for one-third by
each abutting property owner and
one-third by the city. Other improve
ments absolutely necessary will fol-
low if the council and board of public
works receives backing instead of
knocks.
Next year, plan being worked out,
will mean wonders to Lancaster, if
adopted. The city is cut across by
two state trunk lines, one from AL.
Hunsaker's to Abrams corner and
the other from the southeast corner
of the courthouse park to the city
limits on the Beetown road. An eff
fort will be made to have the state
pave these two streets with IS feet
of concrete as per state specification.
The city will pave the two outside
strips affording several miles paving
for a very reasonable cost.

COMMISSION
PUTS TABOO
ON FIREWORKS
ISSUED
IN REGARD TO CARE
OF EXPLOSIVES

The Chinaman on New Years day,
the Southerner at Christmas time,
and the American boy on July 4th,
discharge fireworks purely for ex-
element, not because of Confucian-
ism, Christianity or patriotism.
In years past this practice has
caused many injuries, deaths, and
much property loss.
Sane celebrations of later years
have saved these sacrifices of life,
limb, and property, and amusements
and patriotic exercises have talIen
the place of noise and carnage.
The state law and regulations gov
erning fireworks have not been
changed for three years and are as
follows:
Section 4397a prohibits the sale
and possession of toy pistols, toy
revolvers Or other toy firearms, un-
der penalty prescribed.
Section 4398f prohibits the sale,
possession and bringing into the
State of fireworks containing picric
acid, picrates, chlorate of potash
compound dynamite, mixture of dyna-
mite or other high explosive mix
lures, explosive canes, using blank
cartridges or explosive paper caps,
blank cartridge pistols, Or any fire.
crackers more than three inches in
length and one-half inch in diameter.
Order 6095 Of the General Orders
on Fire Prevention reads as follows:
"No fire crackers, rockets, tOrpe-
does, Roman candles, bombs or other
fireworks, and no pistols, cannons,
explosive canes, blank cartridges, or
other similar appliances or displays,
shall be stored in a place nearer
than 200 feet from a neighbOring
building, except wholesale storage in
original packages. Such fireworks,
appliances, or displays except rockets
and Roman Candles, shall not be dis
charged, fired, or used within 200 feet
from any building. No rockets or
Roman candles shall be discharged
within 500 feet from any building.
This order shall not apply to fire.
works displays made under the direc-
ton of town or municipal authorities,
provided the same do not violate the
provisions Of Section 4398f of the
statutes, and provided further that
no fire balloons shall be stored or
used under any circumstances"
A bad explosion of unlawfully
stored fireworks at Racine last year,
a none serious one at Chicago on
March 10, 1921, killing eight people,
injuring many others, and render
ing one hundred homeless and a
similar explosion the past month at
Randolph, Massachusetts,, show the
wisdom and necessity of regulations
such as Order 6095.
The commission found it necessary
to prosecute several dealers last year
and is prepared to do so now for any
violation brought to it's notice, with
proper proof, and we ask the assist
ance of police and prosecuting Of
ficers, fire chiefs and all good citi-
zens in the enforcement of the state
law, regulation and local ordinances
on fireworks.
Municipal celebrations should be
held in parks, on river banks and
lake shores, away from buildings.
and adults should be placed in
charge.
Let sanity and safety of life and
property prevail over dangerous and
meaningless noise.

EARTH TO PLOW
THRU COMET ON
FRIDAY,JUNE "a
.PONS- WINNE;l: ORBIT
DIRECTLY In OUR PATH
BUT DON'T WORRY

Local people interested in astron-
omy may get real thrill on June
"A if the Pons-W innecke comet, due
to arrive here on that date keeps its
tryst and plunges straight into this
mundane sphere. At least, like Hal
leys comet, the traveller is due to
loom into view on that date, coming
directly for the earth.
Whether it will collide depends
upon what position the earth is occu-
plying when the comet passes through
its orbit. At least it is travelling on
high, the astronomers report, and
will be knocking off no less than "a
miles a second when it arrives.
Scientists state that there is no
cause for worry, and making of wills
can be deferred so far as Pons- Win
necke is concerned, because despite
its clustering course, at breakneck
speed, this spectacular traveller is
full of hot air.
Professor H. P. Jacoby, head of the
department of astronomy, Columbia
university, assures the world that if
Pons-W innecke does hit it amidship
and the chances are 1000 to one
against 1.-THE only result will be
an elaborate pyrotechnic display. He
says:
"POns- Winnecke resembles Hal
leys comet and we may have to pass
through the tip of the tail of Pons-
Winnecke A collision between the
two would be very much like COLI
sion between the Rock of Gibraltar
and zephyr"

ENLARGEMENT OF FENN|MORE
SCHOOL DISTRICT GRANTED
COUNTY COMMITTEE PUTS 0. K. ON ROACH PLAN
TO DISTRIBUTE COST OF EDUCATION.--
OUTSIDERS APPEAL TO STATE SUPT.

The county school committee met
Monday and heard the petition and
evidence brought for the enlargement
Of the Fennimore school district The
board continued it's deliberations I'M
til Tuesday and finally granted the
petition which was gotten up by Frank
Roach of Fennimore.
The situation is briefly as follows:
Fenimore city at present has the
same confines as the school district
by the same name. This comprises
"a sections of property within the
corporation with a valuation of ST.
837 1852. Against this valuation is
charged annually about $4,000 tax
for school maintenance. The tax
paid uer thousand in the district last
year was something over SIS. Out
side the corporation but adjacent are
people whose children attend the
Fennimore schools and pay about
one-tenth the named sum as school
taxes. They pay the regular rate
for tuition which is less than if they
were taxpayers in the district.
Mr. ROach's petition asked for the
enlargement of the district to about
ten sections increasing the valuation
in the district by $923,620 This
would spread the fixed charges over
a larger area, reducing the present
Fennimore school tax and INCREASING
the tax in the included area Some
of the people to be included do not
object while others object strenuous
ly. Fennimore residents, of course,
are for the inclusion.
At local meeting held last month
the change was voted down 1t then
came before the county committee on
education Monday with the result
stated. The outside parties, through
their attorney, H. E. Carthew, will
probably appeal to the state super
intendent of schools and his decision
will be final. This appeal will prob
ably come before the incoming state
superintendent, John Callahan, who
is said to be opposed to consolidation.
c. P. Cary, incumbent, is favorable
to consolidation.
The districts effected, seven in num-
Der, of which two are to be absorbed
completely and five changed, are as
! follows:

RECOMMENDS 100000
FOR TWO STATE PARKS

Madison-T finance committee
Thursday recommended that 100000
be spent by the state for the pur-
chase of lands for state parks.
1t recommended for passage bills
creating the Northern Lakes State
and the Dells parks. The Northern
Lakes park is a tract of land of 1900
acres in Price and Sawyer counties,
most virgin forest land dotted with
hundreds of lakes. The park is to
cost $250,000.
The bill making of the Dells a state
park appropriates $4,000 for this
purchase.
Another bill allied to the state park
program of the state by Senator Nye,
appropriates 100000 annually for the
purpose of extending state aid to
country rural planning. The money
will be used to extend states aid to
counties establishing county parks.
