HOW TO ELIMINATE DUAL
TELEPHONE SYSTEMS

Last week the Herald called atten-
ton to the costly nuisance Of two tele-
DuOne systems in Lancaster, compel
ing YET in many cases giving service
TO the same person. In that article
we offered 10 suggest a remedy in this
-ssue.
Lancaster has put up with two teie-
phone systems largely because Of in
ertia on the part Of the citizens. We
pay two telephone bills month after
month, rather than go to the bother
and effort OF making a satisfactory so
luton This is nothing short Of lazi-
ness but all CT us are guilty.
Left to themselves the companies
will do nothing toward cOnsolida-
ton They have talked of It back and
forth for several years but nothing
has resulted. 1t is unreasonable to
suppose that, unless forced to, either
company will take any effective steps
toward consolidation.
Unfortunately Lancaster has no
commercial club. Various efforts have
been made to form such club but it
always died for one big reason-out-
side of considerable conversation the
club had no particular objective.
But here is an objective and very
practical one. Let the business men
Of Lancaster get together and decide
on one telephone system. Let the ma
iority determine which system that
will be- Then order the other sys-
TENS phones out.
We said last week that the dual tele-
phone system could be forced to an
issue in Lancaster inside of 80 days.
It can be. Ninety days are not needed.
Ten days would settle the matter. One
or the other companies would be ask
ing for consolidation.
What are we going to do? Act like
business men and get this nuisance
settled or-slip along in lazy manner
paying thousands of dollars year
fer duplicate telephone service?

FARMERS find
INSTITUTES OF
MUCH BENEFIT

Some Of the most important out
growths from the Institutes held at
Hazel Green, Platteyile and Tenny-
son last week are the following:
The Hazel Green farmers want to
try some definite lime projects and
give considerable attention to poultry
culling The Cow Testing Association
will take new life as q couple Of farm
ers have applied to become members
of the association when it is reorgan-
lied.
At the Platteville Short Course a
carload of lime was ordered and six
farmers signed up for complete soil
analysis.
At Tennyson fifteen farmers signed
up for Cow Testing Association work
and an association undoubtedly will
be started in the near future. Eleven
farmers with five hundred fruit trees
want to get a power spray outfit to do
the work of spraying their orchards.
With results like these at the differ
ent meetings, farmers Institutes GER
tainiy are a big thing. Only the big
things have been mentioned at these
institutes and the many individual
benefits that have been derived
through information that was given
out is going to mean much to these
communities.
What DIR. S. d. Bamber Has Found.
DR.. Bamber, Federal Accredited
Tester Of Livestock started work in
Grant county, January 18th to try to
get some herds on the accredited list
that has been tested before.
He has seventeen herds on his list
and out of the first ten or twelve he
las found thirty-siX re-actOrs, and IN
one case the farmer found the family
COWS were infected. This goes to
show that we need to do county wide
cleanup work.
The County Nurse also reports that
some townships are running very high
in tuberculosis in human beings. All
evidences show that the quicker We
can obtain a county wide test the more
prosperity we will experience.
Farmers Short Course Big Event.
The most important Farmers Short
Course given at the experiment sta
ton will be held this year, January 20
to February 2.
Many Grant county farmers are
planning to attend. Remember the
railroads give a reduced rate Of fare
and a half all that week
A Grant county section is being re-
served. Go-you will help swell the
Grant county boosters.

C.K. STEPHENS
Fred Stephens of Livingston on
Way to Bay St. Louis, Miss
issippi, to Identify Body.

Fred Stephens, Livingston banker,
is on his way to Bay ST. Louis, Miss,
to identify the body Of a strange man
who was found dead there Sunday
morning. The surmise exists that the
man may be Clyde K. Stephens, MISS
ing Montfort banker. II so long
search is ended.
Church-goers at Bay st. Louis Sun
day morning found the body on the
local wharf. There was a bruise in
his face and his appraised arm showed
injuries, probably caused by a fall
A doctor examining the body found
numerous puncture marks in the
arms, indicating morphine addiction.
AT the coroner's inquest a juryman
produced a clipping stating that Clyde
Stephens was wanted at Montfort.
The description of the dead man
seemed TO tally with that of Stephens.
The stranger appeared in the little
river town Friday night. He was well
groomed and made himself acquaint-
ed at the local bank. He later mailed
a couple Of letters, one to a Wiscon-
sin point and one to Minneapolis. He
later called on a restaurant keeper.
Offering his tie for a meal The meal
was given but the offer refused The
dead body contained no money on it
and no means of identification except
the label on tie clothing which is said
to carry the name of a Madison tailor.
These are the details of a two-col-
umn story appearing in the Madison
papers Tuesday night. If upon iden-
tification by Fred Stephens the body
proves to be that of Clyde Stephens
further particulars will be immediate

"Lizz" Blackburn
as Star of Gridiron

Lyle Blackburn, former Lancaster
high school football captain and
basket ball star, was chosen to captain
the Lawrence College eleven for next
season at an election held Saturday
Blackburn started at the tackle po-
sition for the Lawrentians this sea-
son and was the unanimous choice of
all the state college coaches for the
all-state mythical eleven. In addition
to this honor, he was chosen for the
position of tackle on the Midwest
Conference all-star eleven. The Mid
West Conference is composed of eight
colleges from four different states,
Coe and Cornell Of Iowa, Carleton and
Hamline of Mimi, Knox and Milliken
of Illinois, and Beloit and Lawrence of
Wisconsin.
Blackburn is a junior at Lawrence
and next year will be playing his
fourth year at the tackle position. In
the three years which he has played,
Lawrence has won the state champ
ionship three time, and tied Coe for
the Midwest championship this last
season. "Lizz" was the smallest and
lightest man in the Lawrence line,
weighing only $50 pounds, but made
up for this handicap by speed and his
fighting ability. He is very popular
with his team mates and will make an
ideal leader. Coach Cub" Buck,
former Wisconsin star, expressed
great satisfaction at the election Of
Blackburn. He is the second Ian
caster boy to be elected captain of a
Lawrence football team within the
last five years, the other being Law
renee Campbell, who graduated from
the local high school in 1917 and cap
tanned Lawrence in 1919.
