and Scott Bunker of Montfort.
In 1914 Mr.. and Mrs. Bunker came

years later, making Montfort his
future home.
Mr.. Bunker was life long member
of the Methodist church and man of
high character. He was an abstainer
from tobacco and strong liquor all OF
his life. Up to within few years of
his death he was active physically
and even mended his own roof and
split his own wood. 1t wasn't many
years ago that he tried out riding
plow for the first time finding how
easy it was, wanted to pillow up every
thing on the farm of his son-in-law,

NOW PICKING
APPLE CROP
At TWINS

A pretty and interesting sight at
this season is the R. A. Irwin apple
orchard with it's rows of fine trees
laden with excellent fruit of various
varieties. Mr.. Irwin started his or
chard few years ago while he was
engaged as mail carrier on one of the
east routes. AS the business grew
steadily he was able to quit the carrier
work and devote his entire time to the
orchard. He now has several acres
of fine fruit trees and uses up-to-date
methods of handling including winter
storage. This enables him to handle
the apples in way that keeps the
fruit in first-class shape, releasing it
as the trade wants it. He deserves a
lot of credit for developing a business
which is rather unique in this To-
cality and has proven that Grant
county can raise fruit equal to the
best if proper care obtains. Visitors
are always welcome at Twins. The
picking is going on now.

PARALYSIS
ISOLATED

DR.. G. S. Henika Of the state board
of health was in Lancaster Monday
to attend to the quarantine for lnfan-
tile paralysis of Dorothy Harper, aged
10. daughter of Hugh Harper. me
little girl has lost the use OF her lett
leg and foot the leg being about nalr
ineffective and the foot nearly entirely
so. DR.. Henika said that Dorothy
might regain full use of the member
and also might not, depending upon
the effect of the disease.
DR.. Henika said a number OF 1nfan-
tile paralysis cases existed in the state
but they were of an isolated nature
and not epidemic. He strongly re-
commends the calling of doctor the
instant a child shows cold in the head,
loose bowels, etc.
Questioned about diphtheria cases
at Muscoda, DR.. Henika said there
were about a dozen cases there. All
have been Quarantined and are under
control.
The state board of health recon-
mends that cities like Lancaster ar
range for the immunizing by vaccina-
ton for diphtheria of every child of
school age The vaccine costs about
zoe a child and the results are, about
80 per cent effective in preventing the
scourge of childhood and the cause
of sorrow in innumerable homes.
The Herald man promised DR.. Hen
ika to giveenews publicity to his views
and asks that the city authorities at
least consider the import of his re-
commentator. Diphtheria anti-toxin
is given to all children, regardless OF
condition of health. 1t has no bad
after effects, the doctor says.

out passion or mud-slinging on live
political issues and pleaded for a
vote for Coolidge and Dawes. Mr..
Scott said fuprther that LaFollette

cent of the vote of the state. He
urged everyone present to vote and
see that others voted. BY only such
means, he said, can we get true ex-
preston of public opinion.
At the conclusion of the talk, DR..
James Fowler was elected president
of the Lancaster Coolidge and Dawes
Club. Maurice Ziegler was elected
secretary and c. M. Calvert, treasurer.

At last our dream is realized! Our
new school is well on the road to COM
pletion. The plans for entering are
not yet definite. The top story is
nearly completed. The plan is to have
the roof on the building before cold
weather sets in, so that the work may
go on just the same.
The gymnasium has a floor space
48x86. A balcony extends all the way
around. There is an additional room
for apparatus. The manual training
and domestic science rooms are also
on the ground floor.
Classrooms, teachers rooms, offices
and book room are also on the first
floor.
On the second floor there is large
assembly room to be equipped with
about five hundred and fifty opera
chairs. There is also a large stage
and moving picture apparatus.
A large comfortable library, a study
room and several class rooms are also
on this floor.

GIVE FRIENDLY
ATTENTION TO
NEW AMERICANS

In a very human and interesting
address, DR.. Karl Wettstone of the
University of Dubuque, a Presbyter-
ian theological seminary, held the at
tention of the Kiwanis club member
ship for nearly an hour Wednesday.
The speaker told of coming to Amer
lea from his native town in Italy, II
years ago. He did not stress on how
he gained education and rose to be a
college president in a comparatively
short time, but dealt with the prob
lem of making an American out of
an Italian emigrant who necessarily
is ignorant, child-like, impulsive and
more or less uncivilized as we under
stand the term.
lilies split up. Yet DR.. Wettstone
worked as a Presbyterian missionary
among the Italians of Madison. He
told many stories of the hardships
under which the people live, as many
as six families occupying one building
for a home. Chalk marks on the floor
serve as boundary lines between the
various households.
The callous administration of the
immigrant laws was touched upon
with a plea for more humanity.
Mothers and fathers have been torn
away from children, some admitted
and some turned back and the fam
lilies split up. Yet DR.. Milestone
firmly believes in the wisdom of the
present restriction act.
In the main the speaker pleaded
for more helpfulness and more
Christianity in dealing with the new
cornar rather than neglect and in
stillment of fear. He inferred that
all problems of naturalization may
be solved with brotherly spirit on
the side of the more alert native
American and illustrated by droll and
pathetic stories how gratefully the
newcomer received the aid.
DR.. Wettstone was the object of
warm handshaking at his close. He
undoubtedly made deep impression
on his hearers. He is native of Mon
AGO, his father, a German minister,
being located in a charge there.

$4,000 a Month
Sounds Absurd.

The statement made recently by a
train official that the Northwestern
road lost $4,000 a month on the Lam
caster-Galena train, sounds far
fetched if not absurd to high degree.
Figuring the combined salaries of
the crew at $1,000 a month and the
overhead at another thousand dollars
a month, the total cost of operation
would be $4,000 AS without a doubt
the train earns something, the loss
would certainly be less than $4,000
a month We know nothing of how
a railroad figures its overhead OF
track maintenance, roundhouse, equip
ment investment, ETC., but certainly a
good deal of this overhead goes right
along whether the train runs or not.
Our view is that the run made mon
ey during the winter months and lost
during the summer. Certainly the loss
never aggregated $4,000 year. If
so any road would go broke in short
order.

SAVE YOUR
SEED CORN
RIGHT NOW

That seed corn is going to be in de-
mand next spring is not speculation,
and also the supply of seed corn next
spring and the SoundneSS of same de-
ponds entirely upon how it is selected
and cured.
There are many sound fields of
corn in Grant County that should be
gone over very thoroughly and the good
ears from the healthy stalks should
be selected and proper care taken in
curing. Northern Wisconsin as we'll
as the Eastern part of the State is
going to have very little seed corn
that will be available. Hence those Of
us who live in this section that have
corn that is free from mixture of some
certain variety, that has reached a
fair stage of maturity, prior to the
picking and taking care of consid-
cradle quantity Of seed. Don't put off
selecting your seed, select it now.
Don't think you can select seed from
the corn as you husk it from the
shock or shred or even after you have
all of the other jobs done that are
rushing you now on the farm.
The man can consider himself re-
ceiving good wages if he will select
the seed at this time, remove all the
husks and hang this corn up immedi-
you have good corn you may con-
no. ears touch. Hang it up in a well
ventilated room and force all the
heat that is possible into this room.
The fire drying of seed 4prn this year,
abop CE1 years, is m55t essential.
Corn licked to-day and put in sacks
and left until tomorrow or the next
day will no doubt be of little value,
due to the fact that it will heat. This
is also true Of your shocked corn as
well. Don't put off doing this.
Not only is the selection essential,
but most of all is it important that
the corn be properly dried and cured,
as there is so much moisture in the
ear, and much of the corn is soft. If
you have good corn you may con-
slider that you are doing a favor to
your fellowmen by saving and curing
right, more than just what you will
need yourself.
We will be glad to offer any in
formation that we can further than
this as to the proper methods to be
used IN curing your seed corn.
