LANCASTER TWO: GALENA TEN.

Lancaster was on the short end of
a 10 to 2 score at the Galena game
last Sunday. Crawford was clearly
the master of our boys and struck out
IA of them. Galena took a two run
lead in the second inning on hits by
Simmons, Schleicher and Hamrick and
were. never headed. Lancaster was
BANKED up to the 8th inning. Auel
pitched nice game for our boys, al
lowing but s hits, while Crawford
kept our four hits scattered. While
Lancaster has been defeated by both
Platteville and Galena, nevertheless we
have a good team and will win lots
OF games this year.
Other scores Sunday were:
Highland 10; Shullsburg 4.
Livingston 10; Platteville II.
Notes of the Game.
About fifteen carloads of Lancaster
folks drove to Galena Sunday.
Crawford is certainly great pitcher
and seems to be slated for faster COM
pany.
The crowd of 600 people was rather
small considering the fine weather.
Quite number of Lancaster people
made the pilgrimage to Grants old
home after the game. The furnish
ings of the room are the same as they
were when the general occupied them.
Millman made triple play in the
game at Livingston.
Shullsburg plays here next Monday.
The game starts at $3.50 on the new
ball grounds.
Next Mondays batteries
Auel and Adrian; Shullsburg, Weber
and Garlock.

MINING INDUSTRY PICKS UP.

Lead ore is in better demand than
has been manifest since the depres-
sion set in last fall, says j. H. Lewis,
the mining expert, in a recent article.
Offerings at this writing have been
made at $55 ton, base OF 80 per cent
metal content. With the offerings on
on zinc ore and lead ore showing a.
marked Improvement, comes a more,
hopeful feeling on the part of the ops
orators. High grade zinc ore on the
late Joplin quotations, is about $25,
ton, which, relatively speaking,
means about $50 ton for high-grade
Wisconsin blende.

LEGISLATIVE ITEMS

The State Market Division reports
that the use of butter substitutes is
causing considerable comment in Wis
consin. Retailers over the state re-
port that a large amount of the sub
stitutes they sell are sold to farmers.
This of course reflects back on the
farmers producing the milk. 1t is in
teresting to note in government re-
ports, however, that vegetable oils
are used more in the United States
to replace lard than to replace but
ter.
Few people realize says J. A. Beck
err, joint crop statistician for the state
department of agriculture, the i'm
pOrtance of Wisconsin as a producer
of sugar crops. Records show that
sweets to the value of $5,771 900 were
produced in Wisconsin in 1920 ST.
100000 pounds of beet sugar valued
at So, $40, 900 were made from Wiscon-
sin grown beets in 1920; 100000 gal
Ions of sorghum syrup valued at
$4,000 were made in the sorghum
mills of the state; $4,000 pounds of
maple sugar and syrup valued at
$299,000 were taken from the maple
groves of the state; and 4,692,000
pounds of honey valued at $1,292,000
were produced in Wisconsin apairies
in 1920. '~4
1t is safe to predict now that the
final adjournment of the legislature
will take place about the 25th of June.
Already evidence of speeding up is.
being shown by committees. The
heavy part Of the sessions work will
be completed by about June 10 or II.
The sensational feature of legis-
lative proceedings this week was the
introduction by the Special Joint Com
mittee appointed a short time ago to
investigate and report of bills recon-
mending revolutionary changes in
several important commissions. The
bills introduced, propose to abolish
the tax commission and create one
man commission; to abolish the con-
servation commission and assign the
duties now performed by it to a con
servation warden; to abolish the civil
service commission and assign 1 it's
duties to a civil examiner; to abolish
the state board of education and to
reorganize the railroad commission
into a public utilities commission.
Several other changes are proposed,
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1921-05-25

Concerning so sweeping a program
and the committee recommending it.,
it is to be said that Senator Roethe,
the chairman of the committee, has al
ways favored the abolition of num-
Der of commissions during his legis-
lative career, so that his position has
the merit of consistency. It is not
likely, however, that any member Of
the committee seriously thinks that
the program or any portion of it can
go through.

Robinson Bros. contributed 20 feet
Of their farm at the sharp corner on
the Cuba City road, This was one of
the most dangerous pieces of road in
the vicinity of Platteville. Robinson
Bros. felt that they would contribute
a small piece of land in order to make
travel safe for the public, that human
lives were more valuable than a few
feet of land. There are other corners
that need attention for public safety.
This is a splendid act on the part of
the Robinson Bros.-NeWs.

Pershing Would Honor Unknown Dead

dead among those who fought in the
World war, but to all who gave, or
risked their lives. There has been no
national expression since the war
ended TO give the people an oppor-
tunity TO show their appreciation.
Il would recommend that the place
of interment for this unknown soldier
should be in the amphitheater at Ar
lington cemetery at the national cap
ital.
The ceremony attending should be
made as impressive as possible. This
should extend to the disinterment of
the unknown body from its grave in
France. A battleship should be used
to transport the body to this country.
1.-The people also should be given an
opportunity to participate and a day
or an hour should be set apart by con-
gress for this purpose. Too much
cannot be done to honor those who lie
in the soil of France. The use of the
word Unknown would cover all
branches of the service, all who fell
in France l would suggest Memorial
day as the fitting time for the inter
ment in this country"

Progress in Purchase of Forest Land

R0GRESS has been made in the
purchase of forest land by the Ma
tiOna1 Forest Reservation commission,
created by congress in 1911. The
commission consists of the secretaries
of war. interior and agriculture, two
members of the senate and two of the
house. 1t is authorized to purchase
lands that may be acquired under the
Weeks act, although its choice is re-
stricted to such lands, determined by
the geological survey, as will be in
tiuential in promoting the navigability
of streams by protecting their head
waters. This has practically limited
purchases to rough lands in mountain
Gus areas.
The commission so far has confined
its work chiefly to the eastern states,
following the Appalachian mountains
from New Hampshire and Vermont
down into Georgia and the Carolinas
The commission has purchased, or is
about to acquire, 1,796, 7SS acres of
spruce and hardwood forest in the
eastern states out of a total of more
than 100000 acres of this class of
timber land upon which various indus
tries have been dependent for their
