IOWA co. JAIL IN
QUARANTINE; ONE
PRISONER HERE

On account Of strict quarantine
around the Dodgeville Jail, Otto Chap
man, sentenced for driving while
drunk and transporting liquor, was
brought to Lancaster Friday by Sher-
iff John K. Francis of Iowa county.
Mr. Chapman, Madison contractor,
was given his choice last week of a
$500 fine or three months in Jail. He
took the Jail temporarily, but says the
fine money will be produced shortly
as his business pays him considerably
better than any sum saved by remain
ing in custody.
The Dodgeville Jail has a single
prisoner who is infected with per-
nicious and communicable disease.
Just how to get rid of one or the
other is matter Of puzzle to Iowa
county authorities.

Circuit Court Now
Well Under Way
FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK HINTS FROM
CHIEFLOUFZSCHER

Oct. to Is is fire prevention week
and Oct. 8 is the anniversary of the
great Chicago fire. In accordance.
President Coolidge and Governor
Blaine have issued proclamations
calling upon citizens to take thought
of the Importance of the week in view
of the enormous losses occasioned an
nually in this country due to fires and
most of them preventable.
The losses last year cost the coun-
try five hundred millions of dollars,
fifteen thousand human lives and sew
enteen thousand injured in a painful
and appalling manner.
Through the Herald Fire Chief Lou
Fischer of Lancaster also asks the
citizens of Lancaster to take thought
of this event. Mr.. Fischer takes the
obligations of his office very seriously
but not too seriously. With the sole
thought of making Lancaster a safer
city to live in and to minimize fire
hazards he submits the following con-
illusions and requests:
Watch Out For Fire Hazards
Every householder should look over
his premises carefully making sure he
has no fire traps. Look into the base
ment, near the furnace, and see that
no infiammable piles Of rubbish exist.
Have your chimneys cleaned of all
SCOT. This is the most common cause
of winter fires. Look at your Chin
ney where it goes through the roof
and see that no fire hazard exists
there Be sure and look at the lead
pipe from the furnace to the chimney
and see that it is in good shape.
If you heat with stoves make certain
that your stoves are sound. See that
you have a good zinc plate under the
stove. Examine stOvepipe and chin
ney.
The same rules apply to business
houses where even greater danger
exists. Particularly, should rubbish
be carried away, old boxes burned or
broken up and waste paper disposed
Of Heating plants should receive the
most careful examination.
Parties knowing of a fire trap or
menace should report the same at
once to the fire chief or any fireman.
The matter will be given attention
without delay. The party responsible
will not be abused or arrested. In a
gentlemanly manner the fire depart
ment will call attention to the defect
and ask him to correct it. He will be
co-operated with to the fullest eX-
tent in minimizing a fire loss.
Did you ever see big fire? Did you
ever see property worth millions
being swept away? Did you ever see
shrieking mortals scared to crisp OF
see them jump to their deaths in the
street below? Did you ever see littl :
town like Lancaster Quilted by fire and
it's business district left a melancholy
ruin? These things have been witness
sed. People seeing them never want
to see the like again.
There is a way to prevent ninety
percent of the fires Chief Fisher says,
and it is easy. Just a matter of each
and every citizen, young and Old TAX
ing pains to prevent fire and being
careful.
Don't forget Fire Prevention Week,
October 7th to 18th. Do your bit.

his father to become a citizen made
necessary his application at this late
date.
Mrs. Lena Kroening was born in
this country By marriage to Mr..
Kroening, who came here when six
weeks old, she became an alien as the
husband had not taken legal steps to
become a citizen

ferred on account of one of his wit
nesses not appearing.

Can the Roads Keep
Pace With Motor Traffic2

The rapid increase in motor traffic
within the past few years and COM
polling conclusion that future years
will show further increase brings into
mind an entirely new phase OF the
road problem.
The phase is this: Can the road
improvement work keep pace with in
creasing motor traffic?
Ten years ago Grant county had less
than a thousand and not many more
than 500 motor cars. Today with a
motor car for every 4.57 persons the
county has close to 5000 motor We
hicles.
More automobiles means better
roads This means not more roads
but betterment of present roads.
Widening, surface Improvement, bet
ter drainage, and so on. Eventually,
it will mean hard-surface, all-weather
roads on the main or arterial high
ways through the county.
The question now is not so much
how much we will spend on roads, but
whether or not our present methods
and program will provide suitable
roads to meet the tremendous in
crease in traffic.

SLife is ShOrt-TeIl the Truth"
Wanted: A School
In Wild Life.


How many boys or girls of the
grades or high school could go out in
the country and pick up and name the
common shrubs and flowers? How
many know the names and habits of
birds? How many know anything
about the few specimens of wild ami
NAL life surviving with us?
The answer, probably, would be:
None.
Here is a phase of practical and
useful education entirely neglected. It
seems to us that knowledge of natural
science, of botany, of animal life III
the region in which we reside is OF
vital Importance. Such a knowledge
adds immeasureably to the the broad
ness, the scope and the freshness and
interest of life. 1t adds to the full
ness of the days we live and makes us
more entertaining and useful 70
others.
Such course, class in wild life
instruction carried on from the grades
to graduation day, would add not only
to the pupils sum total of useful
knowledge, but serve to hold him in
school and keep him interested.
1t would be, we think, far more i'm
portant than teaching him about Ham
murabi, Ashurbanipal or Sargon the
Great. Though instruction in the re-
mote need not be neglected either.

Has Gov. Walton
Gone CraZY2

Upon what meat does this, our
Caesar, feed that he has grown so
great? "-Julius Caesar.
A man recently returned from Ok
lahoma says the prevailing opinion
there is that Gov Walton has gone
crazy They base this conclusion
upon his violent utterances, his arm
ing of guards, withdrawal of the
habeas corpus act, press censorship,
prevention of assembly, attempt 10
outlaw an election he ordered himself
and use of martial law.
The outsider has no authority upon
which to base an opinion, except press
reports. From these it may be con-
cluded that the governor, if not in
sane, is a man of inf1amed mind and
actions not given to measured thought
and process. If he is right and tho
Ku KluX is a menace to be met rigOr-
ously, he has not used means to bring
to his support the major and conser-
vative opinion of the country, khan or
no khan.
Despite our record the American
people have a distaste for violence.
We like orderly process. We believe
that anything unsound will defeat it
self and we rely upon argument ana
proof rather than force. We there
fore distrust and dislike methods that
withdraw constitutional rights. PeO-
pie of turbulent action regardless OF
what camp they are in do not set well
with the American public.
Gov. Waltons methods are in the
turbulent class. We doubt if the ex-
igencies of the Oklahoma situation re-
quired the means he took. Apparent
Iy, Oklahoma citizens considered the
governor the worse of two evils and
showed him under. His latest claim
of being marked for assassination

Special Instructions in Use Of
Device Inaugurated by Govt.

Rantoul, ILL.,, March 2S.-All per-
sons riding in government owned air
craft are now required to wear a
parachute on every flight, according
to officers at Chanute field here. A
parachute course has been added to
the training courses at the field and
during the last year, is naval ali
service men and marine air service
men came here from the, United
States and Hawaiian departments for
instruction in this course.
The course is extended over ten
weeks of intensive training during
which time each student is required
to make several jumps and is in
structed in the care, construction, re-
pair and use of the parachute.
The air service has adopted two
styles of parachute, according to the
officials One is the seat pack and
the other the lap pack. The seat
pack folds up and acts as cushion
for the man to sit on. Both styles
are about 2S feet in diameter when
open and are made of high grade
OF silk, having a tensile strength of
IS pounds to the square inch. These
styles have been in use for about one
year and tot date have never failed
to open, according to the officers, who

been made under every possible con-
dition, such as tying knots in the
cords, folding the parachute in tan
