AFTER THE BATTLE OF
BALLOTS.

The people of Wisconsin have just
passed through bitter political
campaign Not only were members
of different parties arrayed against
each other, but men and women of
the same household of political faith
were divided amongst themselves in
bitter strife. The contest, in very
many instances did not bring out the
noblest qualities of mind and of
heart. The campaign is over, and a
call now comes for united patriotic
service, and this call should be heed
ed by everyone Optomistic as we
may desire to be, there is no denying
that there is great confusion in the
world and disturbed conditions in
our land. There are labor troubles
and strikes which are hindering the
production and transportation of
things which are necessities Of life.
With high prices for coal and fuel of
all kinds, and with cold weather ap-
preaching, it is no wonder that
many fear the future. While condi-
tions are not as bad here as in many
other places, the call comes for
united patriotic effort to aid each
other in the struggle for the COM
forts of life. And in so helping
where help is needed-the nobler
qualities of men and women will
manifest themselves.

Mineral Point Men Win Prizes at
State Fair.

Jewell e Son, Hereford breeders
from this vicinity, made a name for
themselves at the Wisconsin State
Fair in Milwaukee by capturing
three first prizes, a second prize and
and two third prizes from field of
Herefords which comprised the best
showing made at Milwaukee for
many years. Five Wisconsin and
two Illinois breeders competed for
the honors.
Herefords are becoming more and
more popular throughout Wiscon-
sin. Because of their hardihood,
their rustling ability and their early
maturing characteristic, Herefords
make an ideal beef animal. They
are in constant demand for finishing
in the Corn Belt.
Hereford feeder cattle ordinarily
outsell any breed on the Kansas City
and Chicago markets. They are
profitable alike for the man who
produces them and for the man who
feeds them.
The 1920 census records 2,2O3
registered Herefords in Wisconsin

STORAGE OF SOFT COAL
Fire Hazards Which Should Be Care
fully Watched BY Property
Owners.

Large quantities of soft coal are
being stored by mercantile establish
ments and industries because of the
fear of a fuel shortage during the
winter. The danger of spontaneous
combustion in this causes a serious
fire hazard, and unusual care should
be exercised by the owners Of such
properties. The hazard can be re-
duced by proper selection of the
grades and sizes of soft coal, and the
exercise of proper precautions in its
handling and storage.
Where large quantities of soft coal
are stored in the open it should be in
separate piles, SO that fire starting
will not spread through the entire
supply, and the affected pile can be
extinguished or moved. Where the
coal is stored in Easements the Fuel
Administration suggests the follow
ing precautions:
Coal the size of walnut or larger
is well adapted for storing. Mine
run, slack Or screenings, on account
of fine coal and dust, are not suited
for storage in basement.
Never place coal near hot pipe,
against a hot furnace or any other
hot surface.
Do not mix ashes with the coal, as
there may be live Goals in the ashes.
If coal must be wet down, wet
only the portion that is to be used
Immediately.
1t is very important that pieces of
waste, oily rags, sticks, paper and
other rubbish should not be mixed,
or allowed to come in contact with
the coal.
Special atteation should be paid
to the proper cleaning of flues and
chimneys regularly.

Fire Hazards of the Fuel
Shortage.

Many new fire hazards are being
introduced by the fuel shortage.
Much soft coal is being stored in the
Easements of dwellings, apartment
houses and mercantile buildings and
on the premises of factories. Spon-
taneus combustion in this is likely
to start fires, and great care should
be shown in the selection of coal and
in its storage and use.
The west will not receive it's usual
amount of anthracite this year, and
soft coal must be used in stoves and
furnaces constructed for other fuel.
The large amount of SCOT deposit
ed by soft coal is apt to clog the
smoke pipes and chimneys and cause
forcing of the furnaces, while the
fumes and gases from soft coal will
have a deteriorating effect upon the
mortar in chimneys and thus lead to
defective fiue fires.
A number of householders are in
fCoIASoClAS tAC VI u0IuS
fuel oil and kerosene burners in their
furnaces, because of the difficulty in
securing hard coal and their unwill-
ingness to use soft coal because of
the dirt and SCOT. This also will in
troduce serious fire hazards, because
of the storage of oil on the premises,
and the danger of feed pipes burst
ing and starting fires. No such ap-
pliance should be considered without
| ascertaining whether it complies
| with the underwriters requirements.
Fire hazards which endanger the
homes should be watched with
| special care, as the mothers and
children run the greatest risk All
heating appliances should be INSTALL
ed and operated with constant atten-
tion to the unusual risks due to the
changes in fuel, as we'll as to their
ordinary dangers. Careful inspec-
ton should be made of all stoves,
furnaces and f1ues before using them

ENFORCEMENT OF LAW.

Bishop Lines of Newark, N. J.,
preached the sermon at the opening
service of the triennial convention of
the Episcopal Church, now in session
at Portland, Oregon He spoke in
no uncertain tones in regard to the
enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment. Here is what he said !;
"I rejoice that the bishops have
spoken so distinctly for obedience to
the laws which enforce the prohibi-
tion amendment to the Constitution.
l recognize the right to differences
of opinion and expression of the
same as regards the wisdom of plac-
ing this subject in the fundamental
law of the land. But there it is by
the action of forty-six out of the
forty-eight states approved as other
amendments have been and a self
respecting people will see that it is
obeyed. The minority have not
forced their will upon the majority.
IL final action was quickly taken,
that is the way our people act when
they have been long making up their
minds and have decided that a great
evil must end What great jurist
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1922-09-14

called the most insolent business in
the land had warnings enough and
needed them not. l do not argue
about prohibition, but plead for
obedience to the law, and If adjust
ments must come when time has de-
termined public opinion, let them not
be settled by those who are interest
ed in the sale of strong drink, by
those who put individual desires
over against numberless lives and
homes ruined by strong drink, for
getting that the restriction of per-
sonal liberty is one of the finest
traits of Christian character and the
condition of the progress of civiliza-
tion." zstttls@s

Two Good Shows.

"The Silent Calf, which was pre-
sented at the World Theatre on Sun
day and Monday of this week has
evoked many favorable comments.
The picture was intensely interesting
and unusual because of the fact that
"Strongheart'', the greatest of ami
mails screen actors, carried the lead
ing role. The wonderful western
scenery was one of the features of
"The Silent CALI. Mr.. Harold
Cummings of this city is the owner
of half-sister of the German Police
Dog, "Strongheart."
Mr.. Siebert was also successful in
getting the much talked of and cost
ly production. 1.-The Sheik" here last

Russell DObSOn Returned From
i. S. Army.

P. r. G.. Russell L. Dobson, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Dobson, ar

in the United States Army. Private
Dobson spent two and one-half years

cupation on the Rhine. He returned

St. Paul Trains Doing Good
Service.

In July, the first month of the
shopmens strike, the Milwaukee
Railroad loaded more cars per work
day than in June. August loading
figures are still better, showing that
this company loaded, and received
loaded, from connections total of
189,196 cars as compared with 148,
375 cars in July, 152, SIT cars in
June this year, and 149, 888 cars in
August last year. This increase of
16,379 loads over June shows clearly
that the Milwaukee's loyal employees
and volunteers have been equal to
the emergency, and have not alone
kept things moving, but have meas
ured up to the demands of increased
public service. In connection with
this should be considered the fact
that the road has not taken off
trains, and that there is still sur
plus of engines in good condition
awaiting further traffic require
ments. There have been fewer
train accidents in preparation to
the train miles run. While there is
a shortage of cars, as is usual at this
season, the fact that the road has
handled a large increase in business
with reduced forces can be taken as
evidence that with continued daily
increases in force "The Milwaukee"
will be able to meet increased de-
mands.

MANY LAWS SHOULD BE
REPEALED.

Here is the sensible way in which
The Burlington Standard-Democra
views the matter of enacting too
many laws:
"The next legislature should re-
peal a whole lot of state laws, have
the rest codified and boiled down. 1t
should then take thought as to the
uselessness of enacting around a
thousand new laws every session"

A Reprehensible Habit.

Burlington Standard Democrat:
Swearing in the presence Of child
rem is reprehensible habit which re
acts as a boomerang to the man who
does it. A child respects it parents
and others for what it finds them to
be. 1t judges them from their acts
as it sees and hears them. When a
mother teaches a child that swearing
is wrong, what must the child think
of the father who rips out an oath
when something goes wrong? Con-
troll your cussing Or don't cuss.

How Belgium 'Came Back"

"Belguim's progress in rehabilita-
tion has been most marked of all the
countries devastated by the World
War" says Walter Montgomery in
recent bulletin from the u. S. De-
partment of Education.
How does this happen? Have
they greater wealth, greater re-
sources than other countries; were
their reparations paid first? No, the
Belgians see the revival of education
as the most important factor in re-
Mobilization.
Among the population there was
strong desire to have the schools
resume their work even in places
that had suffered much during the
INVASION" Mr.. Montgomery goes on
to say.
Complete reorganization of the
entire Belgian system of primary
and agricultural instruction, with
close adaptation to the needs of the
reconstruction and war period, are
the aims of the governmental and
educational authorities, according to
the first information furnished since
the war by the department of
sciences and arts.
The new organic law of primary
instruction expressly provides for the
along practical lines for pupils of IL
to Id years."

large peaches into the Democrat
Office this week which she picked
from a tree near her house. They
are of the Alberta variety and the
tree was planted about ten years
