RURAL BOARDS
OPPOSE SCHOOL
CONSOLIDATION
Convene at Grantland Last
Friday-School Law and
Other Topics Discussed.

That rural school boards have not
changed their minds on consolidation
of rural school districts was evident
at the county rural school board con-
vention held at Grantland Friday,
morning and afternoon.
$50 school board members, 125
teachers and rs visitors heard and
participated in the discussion. Prof.
Warner opened the morning session
with a discussion on arithmetic. Prof.
Brockert followed with a talk on geo.
graphy Prof Dick closed the morning
session with a discussion of school
problems.
In the afternoon DR.. Bowman of
the state board of health talked on
health problems as relating to schools.
Prof. Dick took charge of the ques-
ton box and as he opened the various
questions, threw them open to general
discussion. Features of consolidation
and general opposition to it on ac-
count of bad roads and rough cOun-
try prevailing in Grant county put the
meeting on record as opposed to the
consolidation idea.
A heavy shower of rain set in about
$3.50 and made the objections to con-
soIidation of considerable import as
the visitors motored home to their
chores over the slippery roads.
Grantland proved its value as con-
vention center and the visitors SEEM
ed highly pleased over the appoint
ments of the auditorium.

KHAN MEETING
AT BOSCOBEL
SATURDAY EVE
Treat Cop Rough When He
Tries to Halt Parade;
1000 Spectators.

BOSCOBEL-More than 600 Klans-
men of Grant county met here on
Saturday night in Kicks field west
of town, and SO robed men formed in
the parade which marched through
the center of town.
AS the parade came into town,
George Shields, night policeman, at
tempted to stop it at the point of his
gun, and only a defective shell pre-
vented shooting. He was knocked
down and overpowered before he
could make further opposition. A car
drove across the path of the parade
and tried to stop its progress but
was quickly put out of the way.
More than 1000 people gathered in
Boscobel to witness the parade and
the ceremonies which included the
initiation of class of 80 new mem
bers. Unfavorable reference to Gov.
John Blaine, in the speeches of Klans-
men, brought cheers from the crowds.
The burning of the fiery cross con-
cluded the meeting.

STATE CORN
CROP DEPENDS
ON LATE FALL
Rains Affect Small Grain
Harvest-Other Crops
in Good Condition.

MADISON-The August review OF
state crop conditions states that corn
made rapid progress during July but
prospects now depend on late killing
frosts for the crop to mature proper
ly. Stands are small and uneven in
low and poorly drained ground. Aug
ust condition is but 500 of the five
year average.
Storms Make Harvest Difficult
Ample rains and cool weather made
small grains fill we'll and heavy yields
were in prospect prior to August l
when heavy rains set in all over the
state. Wind and rain laid the grain
badly but binders caught all the grain
in most counties by cutting one way.
In Fond du Lac, Winnebago, Sheboy-
gan, Washington and Ozaukee coun-
ties some of the grain is so fiat and
twisted that harvest is out of the
question. In the Fond du Lac district
the heavy rains made the grain start
sprouting in the shocks.
Other Crops Excellent
Rye has made good yields with a
$50 gain over the crop last year.
Buckwheat has a vigorous growth.
Cabbage though late, is thrifty.
Canning pea yields have been big
and many factories will have rec
ord pack. Sugar beets show increase
in yield. Frequent rains have put pas
lures in fine shape and good grazing
is assured for the fall months.

brothers and one sister. Julian could
not go to the bereaved family due to
the serious illness of the sister, Mary.

HIRST MAKES
GOOD ADDRESS
AT GRANTLAND
Law Enforcement, Gasoline
Tax, Income Tax, Commits
sion Reduction Subjects.

A. r. Hirst, candidate for cover
nor, addressed a fair audience at
Grantland auditorium Tuesday even
ing. He commented on the effect rainy
weather had on political gatherings,
saying that any squall prevented far
mers from getting out under present
road conditions.
Hirst disclaimed responsibility of
the state highway commission for cost
of road building. He said road expen-
ditures were fixed by the counties
and that reductions would have to
come from local units. The commission
has only supervisory authority except
in federal aid work amounting to
around $1,100,000, where it has the
whole say.
Law enforcement was endorsed.
Hirst said the people in 1920 had vot-
ed for the Mulberger law, indicating
their preference for statewide en-
forcement. The Mulberger act was
more rigid than the present Severson
law. Hirst said, if elected, he would
have prohibition department that
would prohibit instead of running
away from bootleggers.
The candidate favors a gasoline tax
saying that 36 states have such tax,
from one to four cents gallon being
the ratio. He claims the tax would
raise 100000 year, one tenth of
which will be paid by tourists.
Hirst claims corruption exists at
Madison and AYERS that three sena-
tors were made to favor certain legis-
lation by having state jobs dangled
before them. He disfavors an income
tax, saying that but three states have
such a tax and that Wisconsin is the
highest. He cited several industries
which are leaving the state because of
high taxation.
With legislative permission Hirst
would open up the whole subject of
commissions, reviewing same and
eliminating or combining where the
exigency appeared. He agreed that the
tendency was toward an increasing
number of persons on the state pay
roll with an increase in salaries, etc.
The candidate closed with plea
for full vote regardless who the vote
was for

MRS. GUS POSEY
DIES SUDDENLY
OF HEMORRHAGE
Husband and one Daughter
Bereft.-Was a Native
of Liberty Township.

Mrs. Augustus Posey died at mid
night Friday of brain hemorrhage af-
ter an illness of about six hours. Mrs.
Posey was taken ill while milking the
family COW in pasture near their
residence. Neighbors heard her cry
and saw her fall. She was taken to
the house of Jacob Wenzel next door
to the Posey home and by orders of
DR.. Kraut, not moved. Mrs. Posey
was conscious for but fifteen minutes
after being taken sick. She died a
few hours later.
Mrs. Posey leaves her husband and
one daughter, Margaret. She is also
survived by one sister, Mrs Oscar
Heberlein, and four brothers: Her
man and Jacob of Lancaster; John
of Hillsdale, Ind. Henry of Slough
ton, Wis. Henry was here to attend
the funeral but John was unable to
come on account of illness.
Funeral services were held at the
Evangelical church Monday, the Rev.
E. Crusius officiating. Burial was at
Hillside.
Deceased was about SO years of age.
She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Dersch, pioneer settlers of
Liberty, and lifelong resident of
Grant county. She had been ailing
for some time prior to her demise but
the sudden end was a great shock to
the family and friends.

LIGHT FINGERED
GENTRY PICKED
FOR AUTO THEFT
Car Stolen at BOscObel Fair
is Located Near BarabOO.-
Are Held in Jail Here.

Deputy Sheriff Jos. Book of Bosco-
bel and Harry Dalton of Excelsior,
were in Lancaster Saturday morning
with Geo. Trey and Chas. Roberts, two
elderly gentlemen of nowhere in par
ticular, the last two being charged
with the theft of Dalton's Ford tour
ing car.
The machine was taken from its
parking place at Boscobel Thursday
evening. Dalton, who had been at the
fair, thought at first some Joyrider
had borrowed his machine and was
afraid to bring it back or had ditched
it. He made an extensive search but
could not locate the car although he
searched and phoned all day. Friday
evening a call came from Baraboo
saying his car was there and that two
men unable to give a good account of
themselves, were in custody.
Dalton and the deputy went to Bar
aboo and got the car, bringing the
two men back with them. The al
legged culprits are held here, unable
to furnish bail, for trial in October.
Hint at BIackhand Plot.
Mr.. Book said Saturday that the
manner in which the men were taken
was unusual A farmer living be-
tween FRA. du Sac and Baraboo had
been notified by anonymous letter to
leave $4,000 at a certain point. A
fake bundle was left and watchers
were set. Trey and Roberts came
along just as a tire blew up. The ex-
cited posse ran out and seized the
two men before they had any chance
to look for bundle if such was their
intention
The men are elderly and seedy in
appearance. They deny any knowl-
edge of a b1ackmail plot and say that
they had been paid $40 by stranger
to drive the car to Amigo. Their
stories do not check up very well, &C
cording to authorities here.

''Dare Devil" Dault
Thrills Lancaster Crowd

"Dare Devil" H. A. (Al) Dault, a
Rhinelander young man, aged %,
thrilled a crowd here Wednesday ev-
ening by doing acrobatic turns on the
street in front of Benefits drug
store. Dault then went to the roof of
the Odd Fellows block and performed
a number of thrilling stunts there,
posing upright on a chair which was
placed on the rim of the building and
so on. The young man is married and
has one child. He went from here to
Platteville. Dault says he makes a
town day. He is not human fly
and makes no pretensions at climbing.

Clean Speech.
Do Farmers Have a Community
of Interest With LahOr2

Do farmers as a class have COM
munity of interest with organized Ia
Dor as a class? Some of our politi-
clans who are poor economists, seem
to think so.
Labor wants cheap food and high
wages. Labor wants cheap cereals,
cheap meat, cheap dairy products,
cheap food of all kinds. Labor wants
to buy in the cheapest market and
sell in the dearest.
Farmers want cheap machinery,
cheap textiles, cheap tools, cheap
clothing, cheap manufactured articles
of every description not made by them
selves. Farmers want high prices for
their products. They want to sell in
the dearest market and buy in the
cheapest.
High wages and short hours for or
ganized labor mean low wages and
long hours for unorganized farmers.
High labor costs mean high prices
for manufactured articles. The differ
ence has to come from somewhere
who makes it up?
We regret seeing any effort to ar
ray class against class. But facts are
facts and instead of being aligned for
a common cause the aims of labor and
agriculturists are Numerically OPP
posed The farmer must seek his bet
ter welfare by other means than
alignment with labor. A farmerbus-
mess man association seems more
plausible and more workable.

al Observation-Disclosures"
Ahhnrrnnt to XOltaire.

Few men are so violently reaction
arv that they will refuse at least to
render lip-homage to progress1vlsm.
Lord Morley in his ''Voltaire" speaks
of "the complaisant spirit of the man
of the world who from the depths or
his mediocrity and ease presumes to
promulgate the law of progress and as
dictator to fix its speed Who does not
know the temper of this man OF the
world. the worst enemy of the world?
His inexhaustible patience of abuses
that only torment others MS
cordiality towards progress and I'M
movement in a general way and his
GOODNESS and antipathy to each pro
gressive proposal in particular. PIen-
tv of fellows are progressive in the alb
stract but what they dislike is to
he progressive in the concrete. Let
we'll enough alone" Things might be
worse'-that. and not progressivism
is their real creed AS Morley shows,
the et-well-enough-alon philosophy
was abhorrent to Voltaire. He could
not be patient with wrong and inJus-
tice man of insight and magma
tion. he burned at the spectacle or
abuses in the social order; he struck
nowerful blows at irrational pre1ud1ces
and superstitions of every kind. That
Is WHY the benefciaries of wrong
hated him so intensely: he stirred
them so deeply.

SALE
GRIMES PLACE
TO BE SEPT. L3
Lack of Bidders Causes
Sheriff to Postpone
Land Auction.

The partition sale of the Grimes
property of 80 acres west of Lancas-
ter was postponed 80 days last Thurs
day. The sale will be held Saturday,
Sept Is, at which time parties inter-
ested in obtaining a good farm at a
low price can make their bids. 1t is
said that $3.50 an acre was offered for
the place during the boom times few
years ago. This would be high at
present valuations but doubtless the
place will go for much less than it
will be worth a few years hence. The
elder Mrs Grimes died year or SO
ago and the numerous heirs now ask
a partition of the property.

NO. LANCASTER
FARMER FINDS
MONSTER TOOTH
At One Time Grant Co. Was
Playground of MastOdon
and Little EOhippus.

In the Herald office window fol
public observation and speculation is
a prehistoric tooth picked up by Geo
Glider in a lane on his farm one day
recently. The tooth is five inches
around at one end and four inches
around at the other. 1t is three inches
long and has worn grinding surface
and three well defined roots.
1t may be that the tooth was wash
ed out of the soil by recent heavy
rains and it may be also that by dig
ging around one could find other
remnants of a prehistoric animal. Or
it may be that being ivory the tooth
is all that remains of the beast, the
other elements being dissolved by
time.
Ages ago Grant county was sea
bed. That accounts for our immense
deposits of limestone. They were
formed by the gradual accretion Of
millions of sea shells. In the rock
now when it is cloven can be seer
perfect shells. The lime rock itself
is nothing more or less than the com
pressed shell of countless numbers Of
sea jewellers.
Later, biologists tell us, the sea re-
ceded and land appeared. Animals
crawled from the sea to land and be-
came LAND jewellers. After thousands
of years the age of sloths, the gian1
lizards and .other types appeared
Monsters forty to one hundred fee
long crawled and tapped their way
about the moist ground. But as lanC
became drier these animals disappear
ed because nature could no longer
sustain them.
And then came the age of Other
mammals, the mastodon and the
eohippus, or two-toed horse. And this
tooth, we surmise, is that of a masto
don. Reconstructed skeletons of var
ious animals of these early epochS
can be seen in museums. Without
doubt competent archeologist coult
look at the tooth Mr.. Glider found anC
say to what species it belonged.
From the mastodon to us lies gal
of thousands of years. Perhaps
hundred thousand years. No one knows
exactly. But compared to the whole
panorama of development it is as re
cent as yesterday would be compared
to the building of the pyramids.

Hoffman Cafe 1nstalls
Modern Icing Machine

A Nicer icing machine was installed
at the Hoffman Cafe last week that
will add much to the splendid service
of this restaurant. This machine is
of the most modern type, containing
eight compartments. The icing appar-
atus works automatically. When the
temperature rises to certain degree
it will automatically start icing and
when it reaches the freezing point 1t
will stop. This machine will save con-
siderable labor and expense for Mrs.
Hoffman in the future.
