Base Ball Only Blot On Fair.

The base ball games were the only
blots on the otherwise clean record
Of this years fair. The great disap<
pointment can in no way be blamed
on the management, who were as
disgusted as the people who witness
ed both of the punk" games AL
though the teams appeared with the
lineup advertised, the men on both
teams made no effort at all to play
even a moderately fast game. Dick
Kerr, the widely known and much
advertised pitcher for the Famous
Chicagos- did not even try to prevent
the Beloit Fairies from making hits
and that is only half the story-the
Chicagos tried no harder to make
any hits while at bat. The players
simply put in their time without even
an attempt at good base ball. 1t
has been proposed that no payment
be made to the teams and the mat
ter taken up in court Nothing def
mite has as yet been done by the fair
officials but meeting will soon be
held and the matter taken up.

WOmen's Vote Will Help Schools

Mrs. Maud Parks, President of the
National League of Women Voters,
sees the women's vote. as a great
force back of education. She says:
II see in the enfranchisement of
woman and in the desire of every
thinking woman to use her privilege
and right of citizenship wisely and
well, more intelligent cooperation
between the home and the school,
and for the work of formal educa-
tion a more solid foundation. The
common interest of women will al
ways be the child, and it is the aim
of the schools of citizenship conduct
ed by our League of Women Voters
to train women to such use of the
franchise as shall make their vote
the powerful and devoted ally of all
forward-looking plans of education"
Mrs. Earl Phillips spent last week
with her mother, Mrs. Belle Hup-
perts and attended the fair.

Women Voters Addressed By
Mrs. Lawson.

Mrs. w. A. Lawson, a noted state
w. C. T. U. worker, spoke in the
Municipal Theatre on Sunday after
noon to an appreciative audience of
women voters. In telling the women
of their duty to vote and vote right,
Mrs. Lawson often quoted from the
Bible, and in other ways showed the
voters their part in using the ballot.
Mrs. Lawson is a women of charact-
er and force and is very well read.
1t is too bad that her coming to Min
eral Point was not advertised more
as many more people would have
been out to here her. In appealing
for better politics she said, Politics
is the science of government and it
is for the women voters to purify it
by voting for Christian men and wo-
men who are bone dry.

Girl Wins State Spelling Honors

Judgment came to 81 boys and
girls taking the spelling contest at
the State fair Wednesday. When
Lynn B. Stiles, who has read the

Among those exceptions who had
hunch that there is only one "e''

age of 81 2-a in the arithmetic and

Three Mifflin Boys Kidnap Ford

On the evening of August %, three
little boys of Mifiin borrowed the
new Ford touring car of Leonard
Trudgeon of Linden, while he was
attending the Odd Fellows dance
there. The youths borrowed thirty
gallons of gas from their homes and
started out to see the world. The
car was traced to Freeport and the
young adventurers taken into custo-
dy. The two revolvers they had
with them proved to be of little help.
They did not enjoy police-station
food or any other feature of their So
journ in jail and were very glad to
see Sheriff Hillary when he came to
take them home. The fathers of
the boys settled with Mr.. Trudgeon
and paid all the expense acquired in
locating it. The boys are much
wiser for their experience.

GOOD AND TIMELY ADVICE.

The Darlington Democrat of last
week, under the caption, when the
School Bell Rings" contained the
following editorial which we COM
mend to the thoughtful considera-
tion of parents, teachers and pupils.
"At this time of the year when the
old school bell will soon ring out it's
glad welcome to the boys and girls of
this cummunity, there will be some
who will fail to hear its call.
Every year. under the illusion that
they are saving time in getting
somewhere, boys and girls are drop
ping out of our schools and going to
work. This is purely an illusion be-
cause carefully compiled statistics
covering a broad territory and COM
piled over a large number Of years
proves that the boy or girl who stays
in school stands a far better chance,
not only of earning more money in
his lifetime but of greatly increas-
ing his chances of public service
and of gaining prominence, distinc-
tion and a greater amount of salts
faction.
Certainly we owe it to the boys
and girls of this cummunity to see
that they receive the best possible
opportunities for thorough educa-
tion and no end of encouragement
to stick at their local school work
until they have finished it.

TRUE TO NAME.

The Southwestern Wisconsin Fair,
held last. week, proved true to it's
name. 1t was indeed marvellous ex-
hibition of the products of this sec
tion of our State. Not only were Wis
itors surprised at the many and good
exhibits, but the Fair managers them
selves were free to admit that the ex-
hibition was successful beyond their
biggest expectations. In brief, the
1922 Fair demonstrated the possibil-
tiles of Iowa and adjoining counties
for dairying, stock-raising, grain
growing, bee culture and general
farming

Other States COvet Our Dairy
Advance.

Wisconsin dairymen must look
well to their laurels if they would
maintain. their leadership.
So declares Reid Murray secre-
tary of the Wisconsin Livestock
Breeders association, who has Just
returned from trip to the west.
In company with E. H. harrington
OF the dairy department at the Uni
yersity of Wisconsin, Murray was the
guest of Governor r. w. Davis Of
Idaho, for one week. During this
time they toured the southern half of
the state in the interests of the dairy
industry.
Murray found that the high cost Of
transportion is creating greater in
terest among western farmers in
marketing their crops in the form Of
butter and cheese.
'1The way Wisconsin breeders can
meet this competition SUCCESSFULLY
the Badger stockman points out, sis
by using only high class pure bred
sires. by joining COW testing associa-
tions so as to keep only the most
profitable producers, and by feeding
according to the. best standards of
economical production.

Crop Conditions in Wisconsin.

Corn is maturing well. sSiio filling
has begun. Threshing of small
grains is nearing completion in the
south; elsewhere it is well advanced.
Yields are generally good. Potatoes
are good to excellent. Meadows and
pastures are poor in extreme south,
elsewhere they are somewhat i'm
proved by recent rains. Early tobae-
co is ebeing harvested; yields fair.
Late tobacco is an uneven stand and
suffering from root rot, fruits and
truck are good. Wild blackberry
crop unusually large. Sugar beets
fair to good. Cranberries need rain
badly; harvesting begun in some
bogs. The crop is in danger from
frost on account of shortage of wa
ter to food the bogs. Fall plowing
delayed by dry ground. Seeding Of
rye begun in some sections.

to pay increased prices for coal be-
cause of unreasonable freight
rates from the coal fields; and should
longer it may be difficult to get coal
at any price. The present situation
is by no means encouraging.

us, calling for just solution.

The Fair a Great Success

This years fair proved to be very
successful. The largest crowds were
on the grounds Thursday afternoon,
the center field being one big mass of
automobiles and the road leading to
the grounds lined with cars on either
side. The weather was fine and the
ampitheatre and bleachers were
crowded all day.
The agricultural exhibits this year
were by far better than those of
other years, and in looking over the
other departments and features of
the fair, they rank high among the
best. On Wednesday the stock was
judged and premiums awarded and
on Friday afternoon the stock par
ade was held on the track directly
in front of the ampitheatre. 1t YVES
a long parade of excellent stock
the cream of the country. The cat
tie especially were the finest seen in
years. The Mineral Point and
Dodgeville Holstein Clubs were
prominent in the stock parade, both
clubs presenting fine exhibits.
The fair house was we'll filled this
year. The mercantile displays, veg
etable exhibits, and fancy sewing
work department, were all very good
this year. One interesting corner of
the hall was occupied by display of
beautiful sewing work done by the
disabled soldiers in the United States
hospital at Waukesha. The culinary
department was the largest and fin
est display of culinary art shown
there for years. The educational de-
partment was the largest on record.
Horse-racing held the attention of
large crowds on both days. All the

Did You Ever Stop To Think

That your citizens should have a
common spirit of confidence in your
beautiful city and boost it all the
time. <ss
That your live citizens must keep
awake, and waken those who do not
realize the wonderful possibilities of
your CITY,.
That you should boost your wide
awake city, You can't say enough
in her behalf.
That boosters can truly say that
your city is city that leads!
That they can also say a city,
busy and beautiful. A center of in
dustry and social comforts.
That a live city gives it's newspa-
pers hearty support, knowing that
the newspapers are the greatest COM
munity builders in existence.
That the merchant who is not
sure of the quality of his goods, dare
not advertise. Advertising would
hasten the end of his business. Buy
from the merchant who advertises.
That your city is a city of destiny
and growth. A community of health
and prosperity. Help it grow into a
bigger, better, brighter and buster
city.
That you may excuse yourself for
some reason or other because you do
not own your home, but excuses and
wishes will never secure a home for
you.
That you should not run in a
treadmill.. Don't go around in a cir
Gle. Take the straight road.
That you have wished for home.
You must plan your course, chart
your route that you would follow,
and go ahead. Now is the time to
