William Tonkin. Sr.

William Tonkin, Sr. died at his
farm home in the town of Linden,
Sunday night, Nov. 20, 1921, follow
ing brief attack of heart disease.
Mr.. Tonkin was born in Diamond
Grove, April 4, 1868, and resided on
a farm the greater part Of his life
with exception Of three or four years
spent in this city. About twenty
four years ago he was united in mar
riage in ST. Paul's church to Miss
Mary McDermott, Father O'Keefe
officiating One son, Leo, was born
to this union who with his loving
wife survives him. The funeral was
held Wednesday morning with serv-
ices in st. Paul's church, Father
O'Reilly celebrating the requiem
mass. The pail bearers were his
nephews: Henry Tonkin, Roy Pen
berthy, James Dolan, James Mitchell
John Tonkin and Chris Tonkin. In
terment in ST. PauTs cemetery Mr.

those who knew him best and loved
him. There were several beautiful

To Farmers of Iowa County.

With all due respect for the ability
of the members of the County Board
| think they made backward step
when they voted to dispose with the
services of the County Agent. OF
course we can get along without one
as we have in the past but changing
conditions calls for a change in con-
Quoting any line of business to make
ers more so than to any other line of
business. / think that most of the
money made by farmers in the past
has been made by the increase in
price of land. Now, to make a living
wage from this high priced land it
must be farmed in a different man
ner than most of us have been taught
to.
1t doesn't fall to the lot of most of
our young men to go to the Agricul-
tural College and if we can get the
benefit of that four years training
through this office of County Agent,
then who shall say that for the pitti-
full small amout Of 45c per farm we
should allow this Office to be vacated.
AS to the value of the County
Agents services to me the past year
can truthfully say that he has saw
ed me $1.20 per ton on so tons of
| lime amounting to $50 and besides
/ the four miles of hauling. In the
purchase of a young dairy herd
found his advice mighty helpful.
Also, have had a great deal of in
formation relating to soils and their
needs that never knew before.
Of course, every progressive move
ment of this kind that is started has
to prove itself successful before be-
ing accepted as a necessity and 1t
usually has pretty hard shedding un-
till it has proved it's worth. This
county like all other dairy counties
will have to look for market for its
surplus dairy stock before long and
for that one thing alone the county
Agent can be worth all that it costs
us. In organizing the different clubs
and associations he has just made a
start and if these things are dropped
it will do untold harm to the future
farmers of Iowa County. AS long as
this Office is vacated then just that
long will we be getting back to
where we were when it was created,
Yours truly,

Creamery Burns.

The creamery and cheese factory
and machinery Of George French
were destroyed by fire at half past
four o'clock Saturday morning. The
roof was all ablaze before the fire
was discovered. The Fire Company
responded at once but to no avail.
Mr.. French's loss is partially cover
ed by insurance. The building
which was formerly the Ellingen
homestead, was purchased several
years ago by Elmer Peters, and was
also insured. 1t was one of the old
land marks of this city and was pur-

Former .Neighb0rs in Mineral
Paint- Meet Accidently
i'm Paris.

(Extract from letter of Mrs. Her
bert j. Campbell, formerly Miss
Nancy F.. Lambertson, to her aunt
Miss Gundry) We came up from Nice
and instead of going to the Meurice
again went to Hotel ST. James, That
noon had been out alone seeing
various things and came in to the
desk 90 get my key. The man next
to me looked familiar and who
should it be but John Hanscom. He
was doing some work for a friend
who was sick, and so had to look up
all the important arrivals at the
hotels. / asked him to dinner but
he could not come so / asked him to
lunch the next day, when / gave him
the latest news from home.
He simply doves the life over here,
and what impressed me more than
anything else was the way he has
kept his sane view of life with it all,
and yet has seen and done every
IL
New York Herald and interviews all
the notables that come to Paris. We
asked him to takesus to a real French
restaurant which he did, and we had
a perfectly delicious luncheon. That
night, which was Armistice night, he
asked if we would like to see some
thing of Paris night life. Of course
we would and he came for us about
nine o'clock. He took us first to
Elmanos where we sat until about
eleven watching them dance. We
then went to MontmaEte, where we
first went to LaMaire cafe, which is
the most interesting place / have ever
seen, but Americans aren't welcome,
so we got out. Then we went to the
"Lapin Agile which is impossible to
describe on paper. 1t used to be the
haunt of the Partisan .Apaches' sixty
years ago and is kept by Fsrede, 81
years old, who looks like Santa Claus

up but when we left the spirit hadn't
moved him to play. Frede dotes on
John because lately when Charlie
Chaplin was in Paris John took him
up there and Charlie performed.
Frede showed us Charles autograph
which is his most priced one, al
though H. G.. Wells is frequent Wis
itor when in Paris. Afterwards we
went to Auzellis, a wild cabaret
de luxe and then to the Cafe Royale.
1t was then 200 a. m. and as we had
our packing to do for the boat next
day we decided it best to go home.
We expected to see John at the
boat train next day as he had to
make report of the notables sailing
but he didn't turn up. at least we
didn't see him, possibly owing to the
crush of people. We both liked him
so much and he is so very interesting
and with all his rowing he is making
good. He wants to go to China as he
doesn't like the chilly French winter.
