OUR BLUE GRASS REGION
WINS AGAIN.

At the recent sale of Holstein cat
tie held in Mineral Point, thirty-eight
different buyers bought pure-breds.
This fact, together with the fact that
dairymen were present from places
far and near, shows that wide in
terest is being taken not only in the
Holstein breed of cattle, but it also
shows that our Blue Grass region is
becoming far-famed as one of the
best sections of the country in which
to secure dairy stock. The sale held
here was by far the best sale held in
Wisconsin this year, and buyers went
away knowing that they had been
squarely treated.

TOUR OF LEGISLATORS OF
GREAT BENEFJT

The Milwaukee Journal in con-
Quoting it's ''On Wisconsin" cam
paign publishes many articles that
are of great benefit to the state. In
recent article on "The State and
the legislators The Journal saws:
''The recent tour through typical
regions of Wisconsin, which men,
bers of the legislature and candi-
dates for the legislature made in mo-
tor cars as guests of the organized
communities of that region, is likely
to be Of far-reaching benefit to all
the state.
1T is a tour that should be re-

AN UPWARD TREND IN
BUSINESS.

The Springfield (Mass.) Repubti-
can notes as follows a sign of i'm
proved business conditions:
'"The new record for postmasters'
monthly acquisitions for postage
stamps-enough, if placed end to
end, to more than encircle the earth
is attributed to an upward trend
in business. Doubtless it is due part
ly also to increasing use of the mails
in getting after business"
With a steadily increasing demand
for labor, the business outlook grows
brighter day by day. A 40 per cent
increase in employment is the New
York City record for October COM
pared with a. year ago.

A SLOGAN FOR MINERAL
POINT.

1t has been suggested by j. Roy
Gordon that a slogan for Mineral
Point be adopted and placed ON a
sign board near our city limits on
each important road entering the
city. The suggestion is a good one
and we hope, that it will be carried
out. Anticipating it's adoption, we
invite every person interested in the
matter to send to this paper for pub
lication a slogan which he or she
would like to have used as a greeting
and welcome to all visitors to Miner
al Point. Send as soon as convenient
to do so. 1t is optional with the
sender whether or not name accom-
panies the slogan suggested. Mr..
Gordon's thought is that, unless a
better one is found, we could use the
slogan Come Over and Get Ac-
quainted; You Might Like U.s.

Iowa County Red Cross

That the Iowa. County Red Cross
has done very commendable work is
a fact that is not being disputed.
The work of this county has received
recognition from the state. The
Junior members have been loyal, en-
thusiastic workers and the time has
come for all of them to enroll again
and prepare for the program of the
new year. It is hoped that every
school in the county may become
1000 efficient in this work. Def
mite plans will be sent out from the
Office in the near future. There is no
better way of teaching children to
work for others and to respect the
rights of others than to be actually
engaged in doing something definite
for someone else, not in charity but
in kindness. "That which pays, pays
in heart so do not say that you
never get returns for the money CIV
en- in this way.
The attention of the people will
soon be called to the annual roll call
of the Red Cross. Let us all ac-
quaint ourselves with the work of
the County Home Service worker,
Miss Cassie Lewis, before that time
comes so that we may be able to
keep the work and the worker in the
county. Some people are of the
opinion that the work is mostly with
ex-service men and that about every
thing has been done for them that
can be. Both of these ideas are
wrong. When Miss Lewis wears the
biggest smile you may know that
she has just succeeded in getting a
compensation for some ex-soldier, a
pension for a mother, clothing for
someone, a nurse, a doctor, home,
a school, or any one or ten of the in
Vulnerable things she finds herself
able to do.
We wonder how. many people in
the county can truthfully say, Il am
what l am and where am because of
the efficient service rendered by the
County Red Cross worker" That is
the testimony which pays for SER
vice rendered which cannot be paid
in actual dollars and cents. Cities,
villages, communities, homes, schools
and churches need the continuation
of this work.

What Is the Answer?

Black River Falls, Wis.
Dear friend Crawford:
have noted several articles in the
Democrat highly complimentary to
southwestern Wisconsin as favored
drairy section. All very true as far
as the splendid herds of dairy cattle,
the wonderful nutritious grasses and
the pure water is concerned, but
there is something radically wrong
with your dairymen. On my annual
pilgrimage to the old home country
the past two years I have found that
the dairy farmers of Grant, Iowa and
La Fayette counties were taking
from five to eight cents less per
pound for butterfat than were the
dairy farmers in what you appear to
think less favored sections. What is
the answer? A. P. JONES

Chicago: AS the fourth annivers-
ary since the signing of the Armistice

Der II, Red Cross Roll Call Head
quarters in Wisconsin reports that
more than 10000 Wisconsin men
who have been disabled by war SER
vice have received the service of Wis
consin Red Cross chapters during the
past year,-the loaning of money,
preparation of aff1davits, personal
service in hospitals or in homes, or
other individual help which the gov
ernment itself cannot give.
Wisconsin chapters have seconded
the declaration of a leading chapter
in the state that "the disabled man
must continue to have adequate as
sistance in proving his claim and
such advice and social service as will
enable him to return to as full meas
ure of life's advantages as he po-
ssessed on that memorable date,
April 6, 1917"
Throughout the country there are
today $4,000 disabled service men in
hospitals and 10000 who are taking
vocational training. During the
coming year the national budget of
the Red Cross calls for an expendi-
ture of over ten million dollars to
help care for disabled ex-service men.
That the Red Cross may fulfill it's
obligation to every disabled service
man in the country, Wisconsin chap
ters are making an aggressive appeal
for memberships during the annual
Red Cross Roll Call which begins

Our Town.

Some towns fall into the way of
thinking that some phases of COM
munity interest follow one path and
other interests follow other paths,
and that these paths never cross.
Business, for instance, and educa-
ton are almost foreign to each other,
while as a matter of fact each is di-
rectly dependent upon the other for
it's existence. They are in reality
only different phases of the same
great object, town and better citi-
Zenry.
A splendid recognition of this fact
was eXemplified in the spirit of the
business men on the occasion of the
Mineral Point-Dodgeville game, Oct.
31st. The common spirit of interest
shared by the school and by the town
as whole, and particularly by the
business men of the town was good
to see-to feel. The school and it's
interests are a part of the life of the
town as business is a part of that
life, and together they put every eff
fort to making the game a real
game.
This mutual spirit was splendid
for school as well as for citizens;
and the financial aid that was given
the schools athletics by such coop
GRAFTON was a fine by-product.
Especially do the students and
athletic managers appreciate the sup
port of the alumni and their enthu-
siasm as evidenced in the work of
Drs. Huxtable and Curry, and of
Correll & Martin for the manner in
which they encouraged wholesome
competition and good playing among
the boys of the team.
1t is our town, our school, our in
terests. All the towns activities
will be the finer for closer cooper
alton among it's interests.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The splendid cooperation of the
business men of the city in helping
to make the Dodgeville game both a
paying and winning proposition is
greatly appreciated by the students
and faculty.
Miss Irene Hunt spent the week

Supt. Vieth returned to school
Monday. after an absence of two
weeks.

High school met on Monday after
noon to organize, a girls club. Ros-

dent protein.
!. Friday afternoon the game be-
tween the second teams of Fenni-
more and Mineral Point was called at
2:30. Our boys began the game on
a slippery field against heavy line
up. In the first three minutes OF
play, Fennimore made two touch
downs and later in the game made
another one, missing but one kick,
There is but little to say about this
game as Fennimore used anything
but fair means to win. Several post
graduates were used on the team to
do their worst to the Mineral Point

The first team game opened with a
bang and the field was hotly contest

goals several times, but Golli inter

yards for a touchdown. The kick
failed, leaving the score to 0 at the
end of the first quarter. In the sec

Mineral Point team. The heavy
Dodgeville game on Tuesday came
too close to the Fennimore game.

Controversy About Dew.orops.

Old writer's looked upon dew as the
magical breathings Of the gods Eels
and worms were supposed to come
from them, and even today the name
"dewworm" is used to describe one
kind of these creatures. Certain
blackberries, with very large seeds,
are still called dewberries, and are
supposed to be poisonous. A century
ago q fierce controversy ragged on the
subject Of dew. One side held that
it fell from the air, their opponents
maintained that it rose from the earth {;
but no one could say for certain where
dew really came from.
