REPORT OF THE COUNTY
q IN GrEI III

Grant county's Women'S Christian
Temperance Union held an institute
at the M. E. church at Lancaster, on
Nov. Sth, which proved very enthus-
iastic and worth while in every re
spect, in spite of the limited space Of
time. The meeting was we'll attend
ed. The session was promptly called
to order by County President, Wayne
Beadle.
After devotional service, some very
splendid reports of officers of Unions
and superintendents of departments,
listed on the program, were given
and much encouragement was derlv-
ed from the "Snap Shots" given by
Mrs. Flora Abrahams, Whittenhlller
and Beadle respectively, on the state
convention. At this time ballots were
cast for the election of new county
president to succeed Mrs. Beadle,
who rendered her resignation, due to
her change of residence. 1t is with
much regret that Mrs. Beadle leaves
her Grant county co-workers, but we
wish for her much encouragement
for continued effort in her chosen
field of work. Her ability as leader
has been demonstrated and her asso-
ciates pledge themselves to uphold
her ideals, and to press ever onward
with our constant watchword before
us: eve known no encouragement,
no defeat"
Her successor, Mrs. Eda Alton OF
Livingston, was duly elected to this
office and personally, l feel that this
estimable lady needs no introduction
to her co-workers, for even her name
is an inspiration, which bespeaks,
much encouragement in our work.
Let us cooperate with her and help
make this a successful year.
Several important business matters
were disposed OF at the executive
hoard meeting. The ladies of the
Lancaster M. E. church served a most
excellent dinner to the visitors. On
every hand expressions of apprecia-
tion we're heard and all were OF one
accord that the day had been well
spent and much credit was due the
entertaining Union in making 1t
most successful institute.

Old Resident Dies in Iowa.

Mrs. Mary Wright Bonham died at
the home of her son, DR.. John Bon
ham, in Ottumwa, Iowa, on Nov. II,
1923 aged SO years and s months.
Mrs. Bonham was born in Warren Co.,
Missouri, March 10, 1880, and came to
Grant county, Wisconsin, with her
partf S at the age of Is. They set
tied at the Hurricane Corners, and
about 1848 Mary Wright married John
Bonham, member of the pioneer fam
lily Of the Hurricane district. They
resided at Hurricane many years,
their children all being born there. In
1871 the family moved to Blooming
ton and lived for many years in what
was known as the Taft house in
Brooklyn. The father died here in
1897. Mrs. Bonham continued to re-
side here until about 1910, when she
went to Lancaster to live with her
daughter, Mrs. Stella Newman. Five
years ago she went to make her home
with her son, DR.. John G. BOnham, Of
OttumWa, Iowa, where she died after
living to an unusually old age, and
was in good health up to a few weeks
prior to her death.
The Bonham children were Mrs. Z.
D. Holford of Tulare, Calf; Barta
Mrs. Walter BennetD deceased; Dr.
John of Ottumwa, and Mrs. Stella
Newman of Spokane, Wash.
Dr. Bonham accompanied the body
Of his mother to Bloomington and the
funeral services were held this We'd
nesday afternoon at the home of Mrs.
Nancy Hoyman, in charge of Rev. D.
w. Phillips, pastor of the Congrega-
tional church, of which Mrs. Bonham
was a member. Burial was made in
the village cemetery beside the hus-
band gone before.
Many of our people remember this
pioneer resident and her family and
are glad she was privileged to live to
such ripe old age with few of the III
firmities which so few of her years
escape.
DR.. Bonham tells us his mother al
ways retained her loyalty to Bloom
ington and often spoke With affection
of the community and her old &C
quaintances here, and it is fitting that
she is now at rest in the place she
loved so well-Record.

been making its own iron castings from
this pig iron, using the iron hot as it comes
from the furnaces. This procedure obviates
the expense and delay involved in smelt-
ing the pig iron in cupolas before pouring
it into castings. 1t was thought originally
that the cupola could be entirely eliminated
and the pig iron cast at once into moulds,
hut experimental working has shown that
this cannot be DONE Therefore the prac-
tice has been adopted of taking large
part of the metal direct from the blast fur
mace and mixing with it a definite pro-
portion of remelted iron from the cupolas.
Since these developments the original
scheme has been considerably expanded,
and if present plans are carried out the
motor company will have the largest cleo
trio steel plant in the world. The COM
pany has already purchased several cleo
trio steel furnaces and when the entire num-
ber are installed there will be II to IS
such furnaces. The hot pig iron from the
blast furnaces will not only be converted
into iron castings for automobiles but this
electric process will transform the iron into
steel for steel castings and for steel for
ether forms which help to make up the
modern flivver.
When this scheme is fully carried out
it will present wonderful achievement
and it can be truly said that this express
sion "From iron ore to automobile direct"
represents one of the most interesting de-
relopments ever recorded.-Ex.

FRIENDSHIP

The desire for friendship is strong in
every human heart. We crave the COM
panionship of those who can understand.
The nostalgia of life presses we sigh for
"home" and long for the presence of one
who sympathizes with our aspirations,
comprehends our hopes and is able to par
take of our joys. A thought is not our
own until we impart it to another, and
the confessional seems crying need of
every human soul. One can bear grief, but
it takes two to be glad. We reach the
divine through some one and by dividing
our joy with this one we double it and
come in touch with the Universe. The
sky is never so blue, the birds never sing
so blithely, our acquaintances are never
so gracious as when we are filled with
love for someone.-Elbert Hubbard.
