scorned anything that approached

a member of any church and made
no profession of being religious,
but he was heard earnestly praying

FARM OUTLOOK
BRIGHT ANGUS
BREEDERS TOLD
Secretary Gray Talks to
Cattle Men at Picnic

Sounding a note O. confidence Chas.
Gray, Secretary Oh the American
Aberdeen-Angus association, painted
an optimistic picture of the future in
the cattle business before the assem-
bled breeders and their families at the
KIondike spring picnic Sunday.
Mr.. Gray, a portly, goodlooking
man of about fifty sought the shade
near the spring tower while his au-
dience, good-natured and receptive
Qbeing full of catfish and ice cream)
paid close attention.
Friend Gray is a farmer himself
and knows the game from A. to z. He
said the pendulum was swinging the
other way in business affairs, away
from the cities and toward the farms.
Building was reaching the saturation
point in cities, he said, and extremely
high wages for labor would end soon
er or later That meant a return Of
labor to the farm and an easing of
farm labor conditions which have
been bad for several years past.
Mr. Gray traced the low price for
hogs to a falling off in summer de-
mand for pork and OYer-prOductiOn.
He said a demand would always exist
for good eating beef, and advised his
hearers to develop and specialize in
beef cattle and particularly in grown
cattle instead of baby beeves. do
something different from what the
others are doing if you want to make
money" was Mr.. Gray's sage advice.
The Wisconsin agricultural college
has the best Angus herd in the coun-
try and Grant county has Is per cent
of the Angus cattle in the state, Mr..
Gray informed his audience. He clos
ed by giving a very satisfactory state
ment Of the society's financial condi-
ton.
Prof Fuller Of the University pre-
ceded Mr.. Gray with an interesting
talk on animal husbandry and Hugh
Harper closed the program with some
good booster stuff and sensible advice
on raising purebred stock and keep
ing the children interested and on the
farm
The catfish were "alles" but ice
cream remained in plenty and when
the reporter left the Aberdeen-Angu
folks were having good time eating
and visiting The picnic was a sue
cess in every way with about Is live
wires present.

Arch Tredennick, assessor of in

with the local board of review The
work of tax review has developed in
to an important affair instead OF a
perfunctory opening and closing ot

After an exciting day Monday the
board adjourned until July 20. Mr..
Tredennick says that every parcel Of
property in the city, including mer-
canths' stocks, will be gone over and
determination made as to true
value. He says further that Lancas-
ter is not fairly assessed and that
owners of small property are fire.

Is a Tourist Camp
Needed in Lancaster?

The caption above is zero in fool
ish questions. A tourist camp Is
needed here A reasonable question
would be where to place it and by
what means the expense should be
provided.
The proposal to place the camp in
Schreiner Park finds considerable OBJ
lection The park is a good picnic
spot and enjoyed as such by hundreds
of local residents and visitors from
all over the county. However, it has
no city water supply and the proper
equipment of a tourist camp involves
water for cooking, shower bath and
comfort purposes. In addition to this
an esthetic objection exists to the use
of the park for camping purposes by
tourist visitors. Those opposed fear
that much of the parks natural
beauty would be spoiled.
A tourist camp is modern Golden
Rule stuff. Our people, motoring IN
other places, find a tourist camp a
great convenience. In installing one
here we but repay the debt other
cities, more modern perhaps, have
placed on US Such a camp if built
should be up-to-date. 1t should be
located conveniently to the business
houses for casual shopping. Such a
camp could be located near the city
for what the Interstate company pro-
poses the city should spend at
Schreiner park for electric purposes
alone. In our opinion Schreiner park
is not the place for q camp.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1923-07-18
Is the Business Course
A High School Necessity?

Another question. In the Herald'S
opinion the high school business
course is not an educational necessl
ty. Further, it gives proof to the con-
tentfon that instead Of concentrating
our energy and resources on a few
practical courses we fritter around
on half dozen courses, making 40
great strides in any.
If we are to drop certain things
land the modern idea seems to be to
concentrate heavily we can well
drop this course A pupil desiring to
take up stenography or bookkeeping
as a livelihood, has to attend regu-
lar business college anyhow. These
colleges, we are informed, consider
the smattering a pGpil has obtained
in a high school as more Of a him
drance than an aid. They would
rather take the pupil as raw mater
ial.
The Herald stands opposed to con-
tinuing the manual training course
unless it can be made to live up TO
its name, and be actual manual
training or handcraft, instead Of ma
chine training. We favor dropping
the high school business course IN its
entirety.
