HEALTH EXPERTS FIND
MANY AILING PERSONS

The clinic held at the court house
last Thursday and Friday proved sue
cessful in that a number of people
who attended were found to be atfhct-
ed with various ailments, their COM
IpIaints diagnosed and friendly advice
as to cure offered.
The clinic was conducted through
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis AS
sociation and the local Red Cross,
each bearing half of the cost. All
eXaminatiO nWas free.
DR.. T. L. Harrington of the medical
department of the association, Miss
Dorothy Durbin of the state office,
Milwaukee, Dr. E. P. Dolan of Muir
dale Sanitarium, the Milwaukee cOun-
| ty tuberculosis hospital, Miss Alice
Kruger, County Red Cross Nurse Of
Platteville, and Miss Emma Schrein-
! err, Mrs. James Fowler and Miss
Esther Henkel of Lancaster, had
charge of the clinic.
| Examinations were made along the
following lines: Teeth, tonsils, ade-
Inoids, glandular troubles, heart and
! lungs.
Miss Durbin said Saturday that this
years group Of people examined
| showed an increase in illness and de-
fects. Two years ago the group
showed high on defects and last year
/ the percentage showing defects ran
Hover. This year the poor health rate
! has shown a leap upward nearly
every place the clinic has been held
Sixty-five people were examined here.
One interesting feature of the clinic
was the questioning of people who
had subjected themselves to test in
preceding clinics and came back this
year for re-eXaminatiOn. In numer-
our cases the person had followed the
Iadvice given as to health methods and
physical improvement was clearly
NOTED. This was very encouraging to

May Z, 1922.
Dear Friend Mr. Sherman:
AS many of my friends and rela-
tives have asked me to write them
when ! got to Canada, I find that /
have not the time to do much writing
so for their interest I am sending you
a letter to publish, if YOU have space
in Your columns. and care to do so.
To be"in with | am pleased to say
that [ like the country here very
much and have always had the best
Of health and found much relief from
bronchial trouble
The spring opened up fine this year
and we have had some of the best
weather possible since the middle
part Of April, and have had but one
rain to delay the seeding on my land.
However, I was able to SOW near 100
acres for a neighbor while my land
was drying. 7 am sowing GAO acres
of my own this year and can SOW
from so to 100 acres a day.
The labor question here this year
is rather difficult One of my neigh
bors, Mr.. Bowels, spent three days in
Winnipeg trying to hire a man and
get him out of the city. Yet they esti-
mate $500 out of work, and the UNI
employed gather around the city
square daily and listen to some I. w.
w. speaker. They have big organi-

be seen on every hand. Not single
tractor did l see in the field in the
851 miles from Chicago to Oklahoma
City. But plenty of big horses. And
from the tram | saw nothing that
looked like a creamery. No wind
mills, but big water holes in every
pasture And the pastures were fine.
Down here all is "Oil." One hears
little else talked on the street. 1t is
oil leases all the time and every
where. One can not well blame them,
for an oil lease is as staple in Okla
homa as is a butter print in Wiscon-
sim A big winning in oil is taken as
matter of course, and a losing is
never mentioned, even by the loser
Talk of weather-they have had
none down here Last week we had
three days of So degrees in Baraboo;
down here it was cool and rainy.
This morning, Wednesday, the Their
nometer stood at so. l took walk
with a friend, about Z o'clock, and he
kept me on the sunny side of the
street all the way. He was uncom-
fortably cold, so he said. 1t just
suited me- Today the sun is warm,
but the breeze is cool and refreshing,

FARMERS WIFE SENDS
CONSOLIDATION VIEWS
Mr.. A. L. Sherman:

Mr.. A l.. Sherman:
| am sending you few letters
wish you would print in your next
weeks Herald. I've sent clipping
from an Iowa farm paper to Blsnop.
1t tells in that so plain how dlssatls-
fed farmers are in Iowa, so he won't
print it. He told me to go to Iowa
and get evidence of how well Iowa
people like consolidation, which | did,
and here IS what they are writing
back.
Here are two letters that were re
ceived by Mrs. Sllis Jeidy from Iowa
farmers. They surely are different
from what Bishop has been getting
and what he has been telling.
Now Bishop, if you want to find out
how Iowa people like consolidation,
go amongst the farmers, don't go to
bankers, or merchants, or dentists,
because Iowa business men are prob
ably like Bloomington business men
they want the farmer to build their
big schools and keep up tie expenses
Now Bishop you have been telling
that farmers in this locality were not
educated. were only half civilized, and
here I've got the names Of seven
farmers, and it's not hard work get
ting them either, and Bishop said 1t
was impossible for him to get farm
ers names.
MRS. ELLSWORTH JEIDY.

the case with Mr.. Bowels, after three

The condition that Manitoba is IN
just at present is not the best They
not only had the depression OF prices
to contend with, but split in the
government as a result over big
railroad investigation several weeks
ago. For a time the state OF affairs
was in the hands of the Attorney Gen
eral and now they have a provisional
government, which will last until
they can call a special election, some
time next month All government
work is on a standstill, thus throwing
thousands more out of employment
They expect to have everything run
ing in fine shape by the first of July
The Winnipeg papers are daily
filled with pictures and long columns
of the big Mississippi food and the
flooded country around Brandon in
the Assinabone valley. They have
had some very heavy rains in the
Brandon district covering hundreds OF
square miles Of farm lands.

SHERIFF DURING WAR;
WORKED FOR NOTHING

w. C. Hymer of Potosi has an
nounced his candidacy for sheriff of
this county on the Republican ticket
and a host of old time friends will be
pleased to give him a vote at the
primary. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Hymer was sheriff during the
world war period and, by virtue OF
his office, was chief of the county
draft board Devoting his entire time
to patriotic duties, the work of the
sheriff's Office was practically turned
over to deputies-including fees, 50
that at the end Of his two-year term
he returned to Potosi poorer in peck
ct. In a majority of counties in this
state, sheriffs rendered bills to the
government and received compensa-
ton for services performed on the
draft board. Not so, however, with
big-hearted Yves Hymer, loyal clear
through, who never asked or received
a penny. Such sacrifices should be
recalled now and then.-Boscobe,
Dial.

VERNE 8. PEASE DABBLES
IN OKLAHOMA OIL GAME
A Millionaire Every Foot But No
SnObs Herald Scribe Says.

Dear AL. Sherman:
Maybe the readers of the Herald
would like to hear something about
Oklahoma, the great oil state. 1t all
came about today at lunch, when a
native of these parts, a Mr.. Glover,
told me of an auto trip he made last
summer, when he went from here TO
Madison, Wis. Someone of the party
asked if Madison was a fine town,
yes" he answered, "but the country
of southwestern Wisconsin made the
whole trip worth while. Such cattle
as | saw up there, mostly dairy stock,
would open the eyes OF our stock
men,"
And so it is, one, cannot get away
from the fame of Wisconsin and our
milking herds. There are plenty
of cattle in Oklahoma, but they are
mostly of the COW boy varieties. Lots
Of beef stock, but very few dairy
kinds 1t is a close scramble, so | am
told, to get milk for this city. Of
course town of 100000 consumes
much milk, and good milk is served
in hotels and restaurants.
Instead of dairy herds, one sees oil
derricks in the pastures, for this is
distinctly an oil country. There are
many high buildings in this city,
some up to Is stories, and almost
without exception they are the pro-
duct Of oil leases. There is an I'M
usual crop Of millionaires here, and
they all arrived over the oil lease
route. So far as l have encountered
them, they are a bully lot. l doubt
if there is one who belongs to the
cheap snobbery, too often met in the
north. In fact it seems to be no
matter for excitement, if one makes
a few thousand, or hundred thousand,
in the oil game 1t seems to be eX-
pected that one will get rich, if he
only plays the oil game. That's the
general sentiment down here.
Old-time friends of mine have been
in the oil industry down here many
years, and on their invitation l came
down. l am being handsomely en-
tertained here this week Next week
we go to Texas, to a new oil field
that is being opened up by them. As
this is a land of magnificent distances
the road we must cover is about 400
miles long. Our destination is north
eastern Texas, where my friends have
one tract OF 10000 acres now being
developed. AS a we'll represents an
outlay Of about $4,000, and a score
of them must be drilled this summer,
an idea of their outlay may be gather
ed. But one we'll, if it is good one,
will pay the shot easily. For the
price of crude petroleum, called
crude" down here, is such that long
chances may we'll be taken on new
territory.
When l came down on Monday, out
Of Chicago over the Santa Fe, | was
surprised to see that western Illinois.
down in the Galesburg region, was as
backward as southern Wisconsin.
Little corn was planted, and real
rush was on to get the stuff in the
ground. In one field / saw three
gangs at work, one blowing, one
dragging. and a third planting. That
was big field, as big as some of
them in Grant county. But for beef,
mutton and pork production, that is
the country. So is northern Missouri.

In request Of the consolidation
school system, it's no good up there
of the land is rough and hilly, ii the
homes are not on the road, the school
buss does not go off the road. Ii
child has to walk a mile to meet the
buss in the cold the child is frozen
before it gets to school. The best IS
to keep the one room school
Now | am not telling you this as
joke but keep your one room school
| am one of the guys that fought
the Bankston school and we are not
through with it yet, so whatever you
people of Bloomington do-fight the
town lads.
Consolidation schools make taxes
500 higher than the old red school
on the Hill SO do not let the Bloom
ington business people tell you that
consolidation school is the the best,
for it is not.
If l could talk to you people a
couple of hours / could tell you lot
of things about consolidation in Iowa.
The people are fighting consolidated
school In ten years there will not
be a consolidated schOl left. SO that
is to show that there is chance for
the little red school to stay.
In the winter when the days are
short you would not see your child IN
day light | will say if the route was
ten miles long the first child on the
buss would be the last one Off at
night so whatever you folks do XIII

Dear Mrs. Jeidy:
We received your letter yesterday
in regard to consolidation.
Mr.. Schmidt isn't home just now,
so | would advise you to write to Mr..
Frank Gilligan, Peosta, Iowa. He
probably can give you better in
formation.
From what we saw in your letter
about what A. c. Bishop Of Blooming
ton said. you should tell him that he
didn't tell the truth when he said the
people around here liked the cOnsoh-
dated schools They are all going
back to the district schools. We know
that much about it, even if Mr..
Schmidt isn't at home We heard too
much about it while the trial was go
ing on. Furthermore, about the taxa
ton
If the schools had to run according
to law there would be no limit to the
taxation | think this is about all the
information l can give you as long
as Mr.. Schmidt isn't here, but Mr..
Gilligan will probably give you better
information.
Mr. Gilligan's sister taught in the
consolidated schools and she said it
was nothing but a parish school only
for the high expenses, so | think she
can give you better information II
YOU write to Mr.. Gilligan.
