ANIMAL WELSH PICNIC

Fifty-eight members of the Welsh
family met at Marsden Park in Fen
nimore Sunday, August 9Th, for their
annual family picnic. The families
represented were: Jack Welsh, Fred
Welsh of Bloomington, Harley Welsh,
George Mathews, Harry Ore of Mt.
Hope, Mrs. Louisa Morrow, Sam
Welsh, Tom Welsh, Ora Welsh OF
Little Grant, VIM. Morrow of Rock
ford. Ill. Lester Graves Of Platteville,
Peter Schnorrenberg of Cassville, Joe
Benoy, Frank Morrow, George Cooley,
Wilbur Frost, Lou Weber, VIM. Welsh,
Masters Kenneth Bennett Sidney
Petersen, all of Lancaster. Visitors
were Mrs. Celia Garthwaite, Florence
Brookens and Tavern Graves.
That the ladies are first class COOKS
was we'll proven and if hearty eaters
are good providers" the families are
well cared for. Fred Welsh is the
Ford agent in Bloomington. It's just
the Job for Fred as he doesn't have to
move around much to sell them, and
well-he couldn't anyway. In sports,
Mrs. Wilbur Frost deserves mention
as a slider. The picnic was a success
in every way and will be looked for
ward to every year.

SUSPECTS AID
SHERIFF HUNT
FOR D|STILL
Amenities Preserved in
Dawn Liquor Raid

Sheriff Holmes and four deputies
were aided in a search for moonshine
upon the premises of four Potosi
farmers ! last Tuesday night The
owners of the farms not only welcom-
ed the officers but gave them every
assistance and hospitality. When the
officials left. they were Godsped on
their way and given an earnest invi-
tation to come again at any time.
Clyde, Archie and Carl Irish and
Albert Duve were the farmers visited.
The Sheriff and his aides went to the
vicinity about midnight and waited
until dawn when they swooped down
on the homes and showed their search
warrants.
Instead of being abashed or fright
ened the Irish boys and Mr.. Duve
joined eagerly, nay heartily in the
search. They helped the officers
tramp over the farms. They were full
OF suggestions as to where the festive
moonshine might be found. They
asked the officers into their homes
and lifted the mattresses and poked
around the closets and cellars look
ing for the cup that cheers. They
seemed more disappointed than the
Regrets were extended that Mr..
Holmes and his men could not stay
to breakfast. All was happy, polite
and amicable. after you my dear
Gaston," was the watchword of the
morning The officials and their
hosts outdid each other in expressing
the amenities of the momentous oc-
casion.
81 know that people around Lancas-
ter think we are peddling moonshine,"
said one Of the men visited. This at
titude is unkindly, unchristian and
suspicious" he swent on to state.
Therefore we ask you to bring fifty
men at any time you select and we
will assist in the search and turn
over the farms to them"
The sheriff and his men searched
every nook and corner, rock and Gre
vice k0fff the farms. They vent into
the woods and fields and looked over
the barns and haystacks. Nothing
could be found.
"Still," the sheriff says. There
must be a still somewhere and we are
going to find it."

COUNTY ROAD NOTES

Grant county has another ten ton
Holt caterpillar tractor as mate for
the one already in use. This tractor
will be used in grading work.
The county has put tailings on the
Potosi road from British Hollow to
Rockville and plans to "tailingize"
the same road clear to Platte river
bridge. The substance comes from
the J. F. Walsh mines near Tenny-
son. If properly applied and kept up
tailings make a good wet weather
road surface for about five years.
A federal improvement for next
year that may go through is on the
ancaster-Liberty road. The county
is also plugging for a hard surfaced
road from Montfort to Fennimore,
connecting up with hard surface east
clear to Milwaukee.
In general Grant county dirt ROADS
are now at their peak and the best
ever known in the history Of the local
movement.

PROHIBITION NOT A
STATE ISSUE-MORGAN
Action To Authorize Booze While
Federal Amendment Exists, Lam
caster Told.

AS long as the Eighteenth amend
ment exists, state action to authorize
booze is useless, Attorney General
William J. Morgan, candidate for the
republican nomination for governor,
declared in a speech here Friday.
'"The moonshiner is more danger
Gus foe to society than the burglar"
Morgan said, pleading for stricter en-
forcement of the prohibition laws.
"When a burglar is punished, every
one approves, but we are not suffk-
GENTLY aroused over the crimes of the
moonshiner and bootlegger. They are
not only destroying the morals OF our
boys and girls, but they are under
mining the very foundation of govern
ment by breeding disrespect for the
law"
Morgan declared respect for law
should become the political religion
of the nation"
If elected governor, Morgan said,
he intends to enforce all Of our laws,
and not to make a joke of law en-
forcement by pardoning criminals
who are undermining our govern
ment."
At Platteville Thursday night Nor
gan declared prohibition twas not a
state issue and could never become
one"
"The highest courts have declared
beer and light wines intoxicating"
Morgan said. "That settles the mat
ter as far as state action is concern
ed"
The candidate for governor against
Blaine made a telling point when he
declared against too much law and
not enough enforcement. What we
need, Morgan said, sis thirty per
cent less law and thirty per cent more
enforcement. At present the laws are
only sixty to seventy per cent en-
forced"
Owing to change in date Morgan's
audience was not large.

METEOROLOGICAL NOTES
FOR THE MONTH OF JULY

TEMPERATURE month was
one in which the temperatures were
almost continuously slightly below
normal. There were only two days
with average temperature above nor
NAL, and these were widely spaerated,
and at the same time there were few
decidedly cool days. There have been
but three cooler July's in the past 49
years, those of 1882, 1891, and 1915.
The highest temperature was 80 de-
grees on the 9th, and the lowest was
SO degrees ON the 8th.
PRECIPITATION- precipita-
ton was about 40 per cent above the
normal, but there have been eleven
previous years since 1874 with great
er amounts in July. The rain was
we'll distributed through the month in
moderately heavy showers. The great
est amount in one storm, 1856 inches,
fell from noon of the 9th to five a. N.
OF the 7th, but the heaviest for a short
period was on the night of the 18th
18th, when 0.92 inch fell in one hour.
Thunderstorms occurred on s days
and a measurable amount of rain on
IA days.
SUNSHINE-Th percentage of
sunshine was ten less than the aver
age for July, and the number of
cloudy days was twice as great as the
average.
RIVER-The Mississippi river fell
gradually during the month except
for temporary rises due to heavy local
rains. The greatest of these was a
rise from 46 feet on the 22d to 6.1
feet on the 23d, the highest stage for
the month"; due to floods in the Tur-
key river and it's tributaries.
WEATHER AND CROPS-At the
beginning of the month the soil was
dry, and all crops suffered during the
first five days for want of rain. The
drought was relieved by heavy show
ers on the 9Th and 7th, and for the
remainder of the month the moisture
supply was entirely adequate. All
crops improved after the rains began
but oats, spring wheat, pastures and
early potatoes did not fully recover
from the effects of the dry weather.
Corn continued in excellent condition
but growth was not very rapid. The
weather conditions were very favor
able for fruit, berries, vegetables and
late potatoes. Barley and winter
wheat were harvested during the
month, and the harvest of oats and
spring wheat was in progress at the
end.

VALUABLE INFORMATION
OF PENDING ELECTION

The following letter pertaining to
the Lancaster municipal bond issue
will be of interest to local readers
LINES, SPOONER & QUARLES
Milwaukee, Wis,
June 26th, 1922.
Second Ward Securities Co.,
Milwaukee, Wis.
Gentlemen:
We are returning herewith the
transcript relative to the proposed
issue of $100,000.00 Municipal Build
ing Bonds of the City of Lancaster.
After going through these proceed
lngs carefully we are of the opinion
that these bonds can not be legally
issued under these proceeding.
The notice of the 1919 election sub
mits to the people the question wheth-
Ell the city shall issue an additional
$50,000.00 of bonds, or $100,000.OO in
all. 100000 had been voted in
1916, but had never been issued. In
our opinion this election notice was
misleading to the voters in that many
OF them may have been led to believe
that they were voting on an issue of
only $5O,000.00 thinking that the other
S50,OO0.O0 had already been issued.
A more serious fault in our opinion
appears in the form of ballot which
was used at the last election. Sec
ton 943 of the Statutes, which was
then in force, required the notice of
election and the ballot to conform to
section 6.22 and 6.23 of the Statutes.
6.23 provided that when submitting
any measure or other question to a
vote of the people "a concise state
ment OF the nature thereof shall be
printed in accordance with the act or
resolution directing it's submission
upon a separate ballot provided for
that purpose, and underneath the
question as thus stated shall appear
the words Eyes and no.. The ballot
did not contain concise statement in
the nature of question, but merely
instructed the voters to vote for the
bonding or against the bonding. A
voter finding himself in the booth
with one of these ballots would not
know of the nature of the. bonding
proposition nor the amount that he
was voting for or against
In our opinion it would be neces-
sary for the city to rescind these pro-
ceedings and pa an initial resoIu-
ton and re-submit it pursuant TO
Chapter 67 of the Statutes of 1922. If
this is done it would be we'll to call
their attention to the fact that both
the notice calling the election and the
ballot must contain copy of the
initial resolution.
Yours very truly,
LINES, SPOONER & QUARLES.

was allowed and ordered paid. The

OF money being taken from the gener-
al fund to meet building expense at
