A PROBLEM OF THE AGE.

Notwithstanding the many warn
ings against fast and reckless speed
ing automobile accidents are on the
increase. Report comes from Los
Angeles that two hundred and
eighty-one persons of that city were
found guilty of traffic violations dur
ing the last two weeks and are serv-
ing jail terms of from one to one
hundred days as a result of a cam
paign to curtail accidents. 1t is said
that in proportion to population Los
Angeles leads the nation in the num-
ber of automobile fatalities. TO less
en- the loss of life from the improper
use of automobiles is indeed prob
lem of the age.

Prominent Church Editor Killed
in Auto Crash.

Nicholas Conner, editor of The Mil
waukee Catholic Herald, and one of
the most widely known Catholic ed
itors in the United States, and two
others, one of whom was his daugh-
ter, Miss Anna Conner, were killed
in an automobile accident near South
Wayne, Saturday. The car in which
they were travelling to Beloit was
going at the rate of fifty miles an
hour when it swerved and struck a
concrete bridge. Three of the occu-
pants of the car jumped to the side
and were saved but the other occu-
pants remained in and were hurled
into the creek where the car pinned
them under four feet of water until
all were drowned.
Last summer Mr.. Conner and fam
lily stopped at Mineral Point for a
short visit while touring the state.

How Phone Users Can Improve
Own Service.

The Wisconsin State Telephone as
sociation presents the following sug-
gestions whereby it says subscribers
can help improve their own telephone
services:
Naturally every one who uses the
telephone desires continuous and eff
ficient service. There are many lit
tie ways in which the telephone peo-
pie in their efforts to- provide such
service
"For instance, a simple knot in
your telephone cord is apt to cause a
break in the service. The knot
weakens the delicate wires contained
in the cord If your cord rests
against a wet umbella or on the
sponge on the desk or against any
other wet object, telephone trouble
may follow. Thousands of trouble
complaints arise from such incidents.
By taking care to avoid such troubles
the telephone user will benefit by
having a continuous service while the
company will be able to use it's re-
pairmen and materials for other
greatly needed work.
Don't leave the receiver off the
hook when through talking. Don't
allow it to rest on book or other
object when hung up. In the state
of Connecticut $4,000 trouble" re-
ports were caused in this way.
when the receiver is left off the
hook or resting on book it means
to the operator that the telephone is
in use and it cannot be reached by
any other subscriber until the condi-
tion is corrected.

MINERAL POINT MUST BE
PROGRESSIVE.
Boys and Girls Should Be Given the
Best Educational Advantages.

A bachelor living in rural COM
munity objected to paying taxes for
the support of modern consolidated
school. He wrote a letter to the To-
cal paper saying that the old school
was good enough. A mother wrote
a reply, in which she said among
other things: Il wonder whether he
lives in log house, wears home
spun, cooks by fireplace, reads by a
tallow dip, works an OK team, or
rides to church in lumber wagon!
I wonder!"
In the near future the citizens of
Mineral Point will decide whether or
not it shall be necessaryeto continue
to use the old Fourth Ward school
for the instruction of our boys and
girls. This building was used by the
grandfathers and the grandmothers
of the children who now use it. We
have made wonderful progress in our
city since the days when this build
ing was erected. We no longer use
the old paths or board walks, we no
longer use the candle or the smoky
lamp, we no longer use the old
court house as city hall but we con-
tinue to instruct the next generation
of Mineral Point boosters in an ante
quated building which has served its
purpose as school house.
It is the leaders of tomorrow that
will benefit by new school building
They should pay most of the bonds,
that are issued for the erection of a
new school house. The city council
is wise in extending the bond issue
over a period of years in order to
place a large share of the taxes on
the people who will profit most by
using a new building.
Our public schools hold an envi-
able position in scholarship among
the schools of the front rank. It is
our business to see that our boys and
girls have the best educational ad-
vantages that we can give them in or
der that we may continue to point
with pride to our city as the home OF
exceptionally good schools.

THE NEED OF PURITAN
EXAMPLES.

1t is customary about Thanksgiv-
ing time for some editors to take a
whack at the Puritans, and to dwell
on their faults rather than on their
virtues. Any supposed infringement
on what they are pleased to term
personal liberty they call puritan
ical. Faults the Puritans had, and
many, but their faults generally
leaned to virtues side. Its old stuff
their critics give us, forgetting that
the age of the Pilgrim Fathers called
for right thinkink and stern acting,
as the world calls for right thinking
and right acting today. Our good
friend H E. Roethe, editor of The
Fennimore Times, has a good word
to say for the Puritans, which pleases
us. In the last issue of the paper he
says:
At Thanksgiving time we recall the
Puritans, who first observed the Gus
tom in this country of meeting on an
appointed day to give thanks to the
giver of all good and perfect gifts for
the blessings enjoyed the preceding
year. Some want to make out that
the Puritans morally and religiously
were stern, unrelenting, uncompris-
ing. If they were, it is something to
glory over, not to censure. In these
days of moral Ilaxness and looseness,
easy swerving from the path of recti-
tude, and constant compromise with

"FROM STONE FENCES TO
ALFALFA"

If an investment returned itself
ten fold in a decade it would surely
be considered most desirable. Yet a
better investment than that was
made by our county board in the en-
ployment of county agricultural
agent according to recent article
entitled From Stone Fences to AL
falfa" printed in Hoard's Dairyman.
The article deals with the valuable
work of assuring successful crops of
alfalfa through properly lining our
high, sloping, well drained land.
During the few years we were so
fortunate as to have county agent
5000 tons of ground lime-twenty
times as much as had been applied in
the preceding quarter of century
were applied to lands in Iowa
county. Furthermore this valuable
work was accomplished by county
agent Noble at a saving in cost Of not
less than $4,000. Hoard's great
farm publication points out that
5000 tons of lime applied to sour
soils in Iowa county should mean an
addition of 1900 acres of alfalfa
sown under direction of county agent
Noble" This means an additional
1900 tons of hay worth "easily $50
600 in current market prices. But
to be doubly conservative let us cut
this in two-say 5000" In de
cade this means $150,000 added to
the wealth of the county. Do your
own figuring as to the amount of
wealth that this will add in a quar-
ter of century.

Killed a Black Bear.

Platteville Witness: Guerdon
Brodbeck and Yves Edwards drove
down from Amberg, Wis, Sunday
night, with large black bear, shot
by Harold Lenfar seven miles south
east of that place. Two shots were
necessary to kill the animal. The
bear, dressed, weighs $50 lbs. The
boys made the trip of 80 miles leav-
ing Amberg at 4.20 p. M, and gett-
ing here at a. m.

The Best of Vegetable Foods,

Jefferson County Union: From
being accused of producing cancer
to being hailed as 'the best of vege-
table foods is a long drive, but it
has just happened to the lowly toma-
to. According to one authority it
contains more vitamines than any
other vegetable. The tomato is of
Peruvian origin having been carried
to Spain in the latter part of the 18th
century by returning soldiers of Pi-
zarro's conquering army.

sin and evil. the world has need of
Puritan examples and Puritan pre-
onpts.
ETY. And here are lines from poem
.vdd by John Boyle O'Reilly at the
dedication of a monument to the Pill
grim Fathers at Plymouth, Mass, in
1889:
To conquer first the outer things; to make
Their own advantage, unalGed, unbound;
Their blood the mortar; building from the
ground:
Their care the statutes, making all anew
To learn to trust the many, not the few.
Here, on this rock, and on this sterile soil,
Began the kingdom not of kings, but men;
Began the making of the world again.
Where equal rights and equal bonds were
Where all the people equal-franchised met;
Where doom was writ of privilege and
crown.
Where human breath blew all the idols
down;
Where crests were naught; where vulture
flags were furled,
And common men began to own the world.
Well might the poet editor write
as he did write of the Pilgrims "Let
him call them narrow whose soul is
Wide'

Editor Calls Newspaper almost
A Public Utility

That the public utility business is
conducted on a much higher plane
than years ago and has earned the
confidence of the public is indicated
by the fact that newspapers are TAX
ing pride in classifying themselves
as public utilities. Here's an edito-
rial in point from the Lowell, Mass,
Courier-Citizen, headed almost a
Public Utility"
"The great service that the
Courier-Citizen and Evening Lead
er's classified section gives day in
and day out, to the people of Lowell
places it beside the public utilities
of the city, the street railway, the
telephone, the electric light and gas
plants.
"Street cars put quick transporta-
tion at low cost within the reach of
everyone. Quick communication at
a nominal charge followed with the
introduction of the telephone. Elect
ric light and gas give universal ser
vice at low expense.
''In it's capacity of market place
for the varied wants and offers of all
the people, the classified section of
these two papers gives as general and
vital a service to the people of Lowell
as the telephone or the electric
plant.
This city without the service of
its classified ads would be as definite
ly crippled as without any of it's
other utilities.
Every day the classified columns
of the Courier-Citizen and Evening
Leader are at your service, with their
| countless opportunities for saving
money, making money and increasing
your prosperity and happiness"

Canvass for Christmas Seals,
Mineral Point, Wis,
November 20, 1922.

November 20, 1922.
Business and Professional Men and
Women of Mineral Point:
It has been the custom for several
years to have the public schools in
Mineral Point direct the drive to
raise funds for the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association, through
the sale of Christmas seals. This has
been the only financial drive in which
the public schools have participated
and will be the only drive in which
they will participate this year.
In the past children have solicited
at both business places and residen-
ces. This year the children have
been instructed to solicit only in the
residence sections of our city. Within
the next ten days one of the public
school teachers, who has been assign
ed to your business place, will call to
fill your order for Anti-Tuberculosis
Christmas seals, thus saving you the
annoyance of having several children
solicitors call on you.
We trust that this plan will meet
with your hearty approval and that
you will cooperate with the public
schools in contributing literally to
this worthy cause.
Yours truly,
LILLIAN HOSKEN,
Chairman for Mineral Point.

Kavanaugh has proven very eff

forts to develop the agricultural
dairy, and allied interests of the
county, and his conscientious, practi-
cal and persistent work is a powerful
factor in pushing Brown county to

Jefferson County Union: Here is
something out of the ordinary. 1t
appears that Uncle Sam and two as
sistants are fixing up a program to
stimulate education and are passing
it around to all the cities and school
districts in the country. It is good
move. The late war brought to light
the fact that a very large number OF
our citizens-white as we'll as black
are very poorly educated. The
week Of Dec. to 9 has been set
apart by the U. S. Bureau of Educa-
ton, the American Legion and the
National Education Association for
work in promoting American Edu-
cation"
