FARM BUREAU
HEP TO HEA Wy
LINING VALUE

Liberty Township Farm Bureau met
at Liberty school on Tuesday even
ing, August 18th, and there will be
some limestone crushing work done
in that township, and it was also de-
cided to hold the next meeting in the
eastern part of the township.
Castle Rock meeting was held on
Thursday evening, August Is. There
as considerable interest in limestone
development in this township ana
possibilities that one of the members
may buy a crusher. Several at the
meeting will have tests made of their
soil with the idea of finding out how
much lime is necessary for success
full growing of alfalfa another season.
The Grant County Farm Bureau has
ordered a limestone crusher for de-
livery within thirty days, it is expect
ed to put this machine to work first
for Farm Bureau members in Little
Grant and then move it as orders
come in for it. The cost of these ma
chimes is $685. f. o. b. shipping point
in Tennessee, with $50 and $50 freight
to Grant county points.
Will Frankenhoff, Farm Bureau
chairman in Hickory Grove, has or
dered one of these machines.
It looks like the County Agent 5
mark of 1000 tons this fall will be
reached. We hope another year to
apply more lime to Grant county soils
than has been used in any county in
the state in any like time.
HUGH A. HARPER.
Secretary Grant County Farm Bureau.

JUDGE I'LL, PUGH
HEARING A WAITS
COURT OPENING

J. Harold Pugh delivered himself to
the custody of the sheriff Friday as
per agreement with his bondsmen and
the latter were thereby automatically
released from further liability.
1t was generally understood Mon
day that Mr.. Pugh stood ready to ap-
pear in court yesterday, regular
day of court, and accept sentence.
However, Judge Smalley's illness de-
ferred this action until later in the
week. Friday, the court will sit pro-
vding the judge is able to be around.
Authorities said Monday that action
would begin on the Clark case very
shortly, probably this week. No Off
cial inkling is to be had as to Mr..
Clarks attitude or as to whether or
not he intends to plead guilty or
stand trial.
C. H. Basford has retained A. W.
Kopp along with S. H. Taylor and
will fight his case. He returned
Monday from a visit in Illinois. 1t IS
claimed some interesting surprises
will be sprung when the Basford case
comes up for trial in October.

TRAFFIC COUNT
SHOWS DOBBM
IN SAD DISCARD

A traffic census taken Sunday from
a. m. to IL p. M, Miss Ruth Mink,
census taker, on Aupperle corners, S.
T. L. 80, showed the following:
1928 Wisconsin cars.
112 foreign cars.
16 trucks.
, Z horse drawn vehicles.
Highway officials will hold a hear
ing at Lancaster Sept -, relative to
adding about one-third to the present
system of state trunk lines in the
county. Recent legislation made pos
sible the increase of state trunk mile
age from $500 to 10000 miles. A new
trunk is contemplated direct from
Mineral Point to Lancaster and an
other trunk to be asked for would run
from 80 above Potosi along the river
to Cassville, No. Andover and Bloom
ingtOn.
Commissioner Mink, Engineer Reil-
ly and M W. TorkelsOn, representing
the state looked over a re-rOute on
S. T. l.. 80 last week. The plan is to
do away with four grade crossings
between Lancaster and Liberty. 1t is
likely that the new road will be
routed past the fair grounds, thence
north to the BidWell and Stoffel
farms. At the Stoffel farm a reloca-
ton would take place south of the
Northwestern right-of-way to the
present road location south of Shan
nondale farm.
A hearing will be held at Muscoda
August % relative to establishing a
new bridge across the Wisconsin at
that point. A present bridge, appar-
emily in good condition, is conducted
by private parties as a toll bridge.
Should the new bridge go through the
cost will be split six ways-Grant
county, Muscoda village, Richland
county and Eastwood township, &C
counting for two-thirds. The state
pays the final third.

Bank Inspection System
Being Torn 'FWide Open"

The state department of banking
has been subjected to considerable
and. as it seems to us, just criticism
of late.
MIR. Parker, in his article on an
other page, goes into the subject
thoroughly. His views should be
read with interest and profit by bank
officials, bank directors and deposit
tors alike.
Mr.. Parker but lately took hold of
the office and the Herald believes the
public should give him a chance be-
fore turning the Walls of their wrath
further upon his head. He apparent
ly inherited a slip-shOd system. Let
us see what he is able to do toward
Strengthening it out.
Mr.. Parker points out the respon-
sibiIity of banking directors. Allow
ing a bank official to borrow thous-
ands of dollars of the banks funds
when he is already hOpelesly Gin the
hole" looks like poor business, to say
the least. Bank directors who are
convinced they are considered as
dummies" should get off the bank
boards. Those who stay on must
realize that the word director" has
a specific meaning in the eyes of the
public and the law.

The some Edea'' Man.

The man who makes a success IN
this world is the man who knows eX-
actly what he wants and then goes at
ter it allowing nothing to deter him
from his objective.
History abounds in instances OF
success along this line. Very few
successes are made by slip-shod, dilly-
daily ambitions, blowing hot and
cold, and hither and thither as the
wandering fancy takes hold.
Sometimes what the zone idea" man
wants is sinister. In that case he be-
comes an evil and dangerous but all
powerful force Even one man with
a sinister purpose which he pursues
relentlessly is to be dreaded and fear
ed.
Again the man with the zone idea
thinks along constructive lines. What
he wants may benefit him but it will
also benefit others. He too becomes
an all-powerful force but to be great
" admired and respected.
In general lone idea" pursued
without let up, night and day, through
the years, brings certain results. We
offer this thought as sure means OF
success in any line to those who want
it bad enough to pay the price.
The zone idea" man is worth ten
thousand do-nothings and can beat
them every time.

Petty Gambling Games
Should be Barred.

The secretary Of state has notified
fair secretaries that gambling games
are taboo and will not be tolerated
longer at fairs throughout the state.
The same rule should apply to cities
where the fairs are held. Gamblers,
barred from the fair grounds, are
likely to swarm upon the streets Of

In past years various kinds OF
catch-penny gambling devices have
been tolerated upon the streets. This
