Lloyd Georges Book.

MIR. LLOYD GEORGE proposes to
4v1 write his experiences of the war.
The book will deal with the period be-
tween July, 1914, and the armistice In
November, 1918. Primarily, 1t will be
personal record, but incidentally it will
touch upon all the main features of the
war and will contain number of hith-
erto unpublished documents of historic
interest. In length the book will prob
ably run to some 100000 words, and is
certain to be the most important war
book published. As yet, however, only
one chapter has been written. This por-
trays in vivid language the dramatic
events of the fateful week preceding Au-
gust 4, 1914. When Mr.. Lloyd George
will find time to complete the book is
not yet known, but he is rapid worker
and is said to have prepared Nthe neces-
sary material.-From John o. London's
Weekly.

Stage Novels.

ONE of the worlds great difficulties,
- apparently. is to write a good novel
OF theatrical life. The author who
bravely attempts the task must decide.
before he sets out, whether his story is
to deal with the theater as It really is
or whether he will present the kind of
picture that the public loves and has
come to expect. II he writes of the thea
ter as it is, the public win probably think
his book dull and technical. The public
is not interested. for example, in the
evolution of play. The public want
its story of stage life to be stuffed wit
romance.-From the London Sketch.

Dickens's First London Home.

TT may be said that he settled perma-
i nently in the metropolis toward the
end of 1922. when his father brought him
and the rest of the family from Chatham
to live in a small house in Bayham
street, Camden Town, mot "a small mean
tenement" as Forster called it, but quite
self-respecting house in a row that
had been built only a few years, and
where already resided famous engravers,
artists, and at least one dramatic critic.
This house was No. 141. and Dickensians
had an additional reason for attach
ment to it because it was undoubtedly
the house Dickens described as the home
Of the Cratchit family and as the resi-
dence of Mr.. Micawber. When it was
demolished in 1910 certain relics from
1t were preserved, and the present writer
possesses the knocker from the front
door. The house, however. had unfor-
tunate memories for the novelist. for it
was while living there that his fathers
financial affairs sank to low ebb.-FroHi

Statement hy Kerley

When l came out in my announce
ment for sheriff of your county to be
voted on at the September Primary |
told you how / stood on the booze
question and ! am taking this way of
expressing to you a little more fully
my sentiments on this issue / be-
iieve in the 18th amendment and if
elected l pledge myself TO do all in
my power to stop the manufacture and
sale of moonshine in the county. This
question was voted and passed upon
by the majority of the people and con-
gress of the United States and is
law of our constitution and cannot be
repealed except by vote of the peo-
pie or congress. Consequently the diff
ferent state officers has not much TO
do with this issue. Although a great
many o fthem are using it in their
campaigning as a main issue. This
is already law and no state or coun-
ty officer can change it. Consequent
~ the only issue on this question is
its enforcement and the enforcement
is up to the sheriff and district attor-
ney of the different counties with the
backing of the law abiding citizens.
If you elect men for your sheriff and
district attorney who favor booze and
wont prosecute unless compelled to,
this law will soon become a farce and
conditions will become worse than
they were before it was passed. When
man is filled up with, and under the
influence of moonshine his brain fails
to work properly and he goes nito a
state of insanity and commits deeds
which he would not think of doing
when sober. Hundreds of innocent
people are killed and crippled every
week by reckless automobile drivers,
drunk and crazy with this stuff, things
they wouldn't think of doing if sober,
but the dope they had inside made
them murderers. How many of us
would want TO see our boys come home
tonight drunk and insane with pois-
onous moonshine sold to them by
bootleggers at five to ten dollars a
quart, of hteir hard earned money.
Think of this, friends, when you 20

home of her daughter, Mrs. Lee En-
field in the town of Kickapoo, Yer
non county, August Is, 1922, at the
age of SO years, months and days.
When at the age of two years she
with her parents came to Richland
county. She was married to John
Haggerty in the year of 1872, who
preceded her in death October 10th,
1913.
There was born to this union, nine
children, Ernest of Ismay, Montana /;
Gertie, Chester, and Lloyd of Sugar

GAYS MILLS FAIR
SEPTEMBER s To 8

To encourage the raising of better
beef cattle in this territory the GAYS
Mills Fair, Gays Mills, September 5
to is offering $1S00.00 in premiums
for the leading breeds.
Many letters have been received by
the fair management asking about the
show The breeds for which the pre-
miums are offered are Red Polls ,Aber-
deem Anguses; Galloways, Herefords
and Shorthorns. At least 80 animals
are expected to enter the exhibit, ac-
cording to Superintendent George
Brown of the Dairy Cattle Depart
ment. Entries will close on Septem-
Der 9Th at $50 P. NJ.
In its appeal for entries to the show
the fair management asserts that
there are many reasons why the rails
ing of more purebred cattle should be
encouraged. Fair officials and exhib-
itors of cattle say that the use of a
purebred sire ON every farm will put
stock farming on a farm basis in a
short time.
Cattle-raising enables much of the
crops to be fed on the farm, and builds
up the fertility fthe soil by permit
ting the return of manure to the land.
When crops are sold off the farm the
fertility of the soil gradually decreas-
es. Cattle-feeding makes the rotation
system of farming necessary, which
does away with the evils of the sin
gle crop" system, checks the growth
of weeds, and helps to control plant
diseases.
The breeding and feeding of cattle
can be made a profitable business
when the right types and breeds of
stock are raised, according to all live
stock authorities. Scrub cattle will
not feed out well, and do not get tip
top prices on the market. A pure
bred sire at the hands of an ordinary
herd of cows, will produce calves so
superior in type that they can be fed
and marketed at considerable profit.
Farmers who are planning on buy
ing pure-bred bull are being urged
to put off such purchase until he has
looked over the herds at the coming
fair.

JUlSON TRIMMER PASSES

Judson Dow Trimmer has been called
to meet sthe Master. This unexpected
announcement of the sad event was a
distinct shock to his friends, both with
in and without Typographical Union
circles.
Few realized the seriousness of Mr..
| Trimmer's condition for the end came
peacefully and quietly-perhaps Just
as his unassuming nature would have
wished had he the choosing.
Just short week ago-Monday. Ju-
ly 24-he was at the business office of
the union and seemed in his usual good
spirits. Early next morning, he IN
derwent an operation for appendicitis
and seemed never to fully regain nor
NAL status, due to complications which
outguessed skilled medical knowledge
and kindly human aid. To the very
end, Mr. Trimmer displayed the same
sne courage, quiet demeanor and
rhoughtfulness of others which have
so characterized his daily life and won
for him the admiration Of legion
friends.
His untimely death is not ony a
great loss to his family but to union
circles as well; not forgetting those
who were proud to be classed as his
friends. "Jud," as he was Familiarity
called by his printer intimates. was a
tremendous power for good in all mat
tiers worthy of the attention of honor
able men, and Local No. 80 of the
great international Typographical
Union knows its loss in his death to be
an irreparable one.
j. ID. Trimmer was born at Luther.
Michigan, fifty-one years ago last Ap-
ril and came to St. Paul in 1912 from
Chicago. Just previous to coming
here, he was in the railway mail SER
vice for eleven years on the fast trains
between Omaha and Chicago. How
ever, the lure of printers ink has a
fascination which few can ever forget
or resist for any length of time and,
consequently on arrival in our city, he
returned to the printing trade He
was member of the Daily News chap
ell in 1920 when elected to the the sec
rotary treasurer Office of No. 80, to
which he was recently reelected for
third term-teiling more than volumes
the confidence our membership had
placed in his excellent executive abil-
ity and unquestioned integrity.
Surviving him are Mrs. Trimmer,
his son, Paul D., and sister, Mrs. C. C.
hdpptSy VI Lincoln, NEBRASKA. 10
these sorrowing ones, the members of
our union extend their heartfelt SYM
pathy though bowed deeply in grief in
our mutual affection.
To the Masonic fraternity is left the
conduct of the funeral rites as was Mr.
Trimmer's request. He was member
of the Scottish Rite; Osman Temple,
A. A. o. N. NJ. S.; Damascus Com
mandry Knights Templar, and Macal-
ester Chapter, A. F. & A. M. The
ceremonies of burial will be held at the
Masonic Temple, Sixth street and
Smith avenue, at two o'clock Wednes-
day with interment at Oakland Gene
terry.
The above obituary taken from the
printers union publication of st. Paul
will bring sadness to those Viroqua
people who were acquainted with Mr..
Trimmer. He was the husband of Jes-
sic Joyce, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ].
z. Joyce, who are now making their
home with the Trimmer's. Just prev
ious to Mr.. Trimmer's illness, his wife
was struck by an automobile and was
confined to the hospital at the time of
his death

NC HENRY sPEAKs HERE

McHenry, Mayor of Oshkosh, and
candidate for Governor on the wet
platform, spoke in Viroqua Monday af-
ternoon. He GRATED to the assembled
crowd for better than an hour, and
was able to arouse as much enthUs-
iasm as a wooden Indian-and that in
our estimation is about as much sup
port as any man is entitled to who is
openly advocating the return of the
saloon or the repeal of the 18th amend
ment. Either is absolutely unthink-
able-and also impossible. The 18th
amendment is part Of the constitu-
tion-and viii remain so. The safety
of the travelling public in this day Of
uncounted motor vehicles is alone suf-
ficient grounds for the complete aboli-
ton of liquor, laying aside every other
one of the many good reasons for the
banishing of booze.
