Iowa County Cheese and Butter
at the Wisconsin State Fair.

Over 100000 people, or about six
teen times the population of Iowa
county will look over our county's
dairy exhibits at the next State Fair,
Aug. 20 to Sept. 5. The advertising
and boosting our county will get
from representative exhibit of our
dairy products at the big Fair can
not be over-estimated. Every cheese
maker, every buttermaker, every fac
tory patron, every man interested in
this countys welfare and future
growth should see that the creamer-
les and cheese factories in his neigh
borhood all send exhibits in two or
more classes to the State Fair this
year, and make fine appearance be-
fore the world.
Two new classes of prizes are Of
fered this year for the first time for
cheese and butter, manufactured be-
fore June 1, as well as the usual
prizes in all other classes as last
year.
Our county has within it's borders
about al cheese factories and cream
cries. Last year only eleven of them
sent exhibits of cheese or butter to
the Fair, and thus our own industry
was not properly represented before
the people of the state at the 1920
Fair.
$4,000 in prizes for dairy products
are offered this year in the new State
Fair Prize List, and every exhibit
scoring about ninety points will re-
ceive a share in the prO-rata fund
and premiums, averaging $500 per
exhibit, besides free admission tick
cts to the State Fair, and chances to
win the state, district and county
cash prizes.
Let's do our share to put our
county at the top of the column this
year, with 100 per cent of our cheese
factories and creameries sending two
or more State Fair exhibits. Write
now to Secretary o. e. Remey, State
Fair Park, West Allis, Wis, for full
particulars.

MOON

AIR. TAXPAYER, attention! And
wi all you poor brow-beaten people
of the streets-especially residential
streets. And pacifists, anti-militarists,
and other autochthonic landcrabs:
bring message Of cheer. The gov
eminent from first to last is accus-
toned to pay some $4,000 toward the
entire and final education of naval
officer. In many ways Annapolis is the
grandest educational institution in the
world. And yet, even with all this
frightful expense, a vital point is over
looked.
One sad example will suffice. He was
a graduate ensign. For four long
years he had been nodded into the
bold, resourceful type Of youth war
ship lures. By choice he had relin-
quished high marks in engineering and
had concentrated on the enthralling
subject Of navigation.
He soon perceived the popular fall
lacy of believing that only sun and
stars are used in plotting frisky fleets
about the wet parts of our globe. The
dear old cheesy moon Is no less i'm
portant.
With the sun, for instance, latitude
north or south of the equator is far
more easily obtained than longitude
or time. But by simple twist of the
mathematical wrist one may measure
a stars distance from the man in the
moon and thereby set ones clock to a
second at any time of the night.
Again there Is the matter of occul-
tations. These are eelipses of stars.
Try one yourself some clear night.
From time to time fat star goes
behind the moon. If you note the time
then, and again when 1t energies, the
mean of the two will be the moment
by your watch at which the star was
in line with the moons center. By
comparing this time with a list the
naval observatory publishes you may
discover the exact error of your Inger-
soil.
The moon can be observed in the
daytime as well as the sun. That she
is wan and pale is an advantage in
being less trying on the eyes. Both
latitude and longitude are to be got
this way.
All of which the graduate ensign
fearned-at cost of thousands Of
tabled dollars. And yet, alas, when
he took furlough to rest from his
labors he discovers (too late) that he'd
never been taught one fearful truth
about the moon:
That a moon makes moonlight. And
that In moonlight maiden fair is
fairer than ever. And
Well. he has two satellites by now.

Graduates.

IAN average of $50 requests for

THE PUNY PAST

CT HINk of being a Chinaman,"
i exclaimed gunnery officer
the other day, land not being able to
throw eggs at your ancestors !"
A million examples of what he
meant are at hand. Take the Kearsarge
and Alabama, two Civil war dread
naughts which fought off Cherbourg,
France, fifty odd years ago. Our coun-
trymen thrilled with the spectacular
details of the great engagement.
Each vessel boasted about 800 horse
power in her wheezy old engines. We
make no undue comment when we
hear that 10000 horsepower will lam
haste the Stern-Sheets of our new bat
tie cruisers.
The combined armament of the two
monsters was one finch, one 8-inch
and six 32-pounders. (Alabama); two
11-inch and five 32-pounders (Kear-
sarge). All fired together wouldn't be
the bite of sick flea alongside sal
vO from the dozen 18-inch rifled sky
smiters Wen be buying picture post
cards of to send our sweethearts be-
fore long.
In that gigantic enterprise, that
bloody duel of hot blood and cold
steel, the Kearsarge threw 173 pro-
jectiles and the Alabama, $40. Had the
pair been Goth century model heavy
weights they might have slammed
some 10000 explosives shells against
one another's armament. And the
weight of each SHE'LL about 1,5OO lbs,
would have been three times a whole
broadside from the old smooth-bores.
The doughty pair sailed circles
around each other at distances from
400 to 1000 yards. Seven complete.
circles they made, like couple of
lightweights sparring for knockout.
Oh Holy Tiddledy-winks we shout
Lion crashing over the horizon at
25 knots speed and 10000 yards distant
from her antagonist.
When the Alabama looked like
loser Captain Semmes struck his col
ors, threw his sword into the sea, and
jumped in after it so that he could
swim unhampered to neutral yacht,
the Deerhound. The modern skipper
wouldn't give tinker's d-n whether
his colors were up or not so long as
his vessel fioated. He would be i'm
prisoned in the steel coming tower
and couldn't jump overheard If he
tried. And his sword would be down

ries, the next generation are already

MANY GUNS GUARD
FUNERAL AT BELFAST
Armored Cars Lead the Cortege-
Four Persons Are Wounded by
Stray Shots.

Belfast, April 2S.-A funeral unique
in the history of Belfast was held here
when Patrick and Daniel Dutfin,
brothers, who were shot and killed at
midnight Saturday, were buried. Sim
Fein honors were paid from Falls
road to King street, where the mill
tary assumed control.
The two motor hearses containing
the bodies were preceded by armored
cars bristling with guns. In front OF
the mOurners was a lorry filled with
soldiers with rifles at the present
arms" and behind them was another
armored car.
In Falls road scenes of a moving
character were witnessed. The shops
were closed and all traffic suspended.
Rev. Joseph MacRory, bishop Of the
diocese Of Down and Conner, was in
the dense crowd.
The collins of the brothers were
draped with Sim Fem flags. Bands
of girl scouts sang hymns and recit-
ed the rosary at intervals. The ex-
element engendered by the passing OF
the funeral cortege eliminated in a
sharp party encounter in the Old
Lodge district, in which a young man
was critically wounded by a gunshot.
The shot was fired from an armored
car. Three other persons suffering
from slight wounds were admitted to
hospitals.
Seven members of a police party
were wounded in an ambush at New
ry, County Down, in which the at
lacking force employed bombs and re-
volvers. The towns inhabitants were
panic-stricken as result Of the bomb
explosion.
Shortly afterward another police pa
troll intercepted and captured three
members of the ambush party, upon
whom loaded revolvers and bombs
were found. The prisoners we're taken
to the military barracks.

the best attended Of any that have
been held here for years past.
There were several good prelimi-
nary bouts between local boys prior
to the main bout, which was between
Geo. Manley Of Denver and Clarence
Gibbons Of Saratoga.
The main bout was a big disap-
pointment to the fans present as the
two principals were anything but ev-
emily matched. In the very FIRST ses-
sion 1t was seen that Manley was by
far the superior of the Saratoga boy
and that the outcome vas only a mat
ter of time.
Gibbons. while lacking In exper-
fence, Is to be highly commended for
his sameness and his determination
to stay the limit II at all within his
power to do so. Although he early
realized that he was outclassed by
his more experienced and better
trained opponent he always kept try
lng and never quit until knocked
out coupletely in the fifth round.
