Farm Bureau Notes


There has been a story told at va
rious farm meetings that might be
repeated at this time on account of
the moral to it:
I'm southern California on a big
chicken ranch the owner kept pen
of ostrichs. On day a Leghorn ross
ter slipped under the fence into the
ostrich pen and found large white
object that puzzled him deeply until
he finally realized it was an egg. He
managed to roll this egg back to his
own pen whereupon he made a great
cackling calling all his flock about
him In chicken language he said,
Now, ladies', do not mean to eriti-
else you, but you should get out and
see what your neighbors are doing -
In other words attend the Farm
ers' and Homemakers week at Madl-
son, Feb. to 9 next week and see
what our brother farmers from other
parts of the state are doing. This is
for women as we'll as men. While it
costs something to take this trip,
times are hard and it is taxpaying
time besides, most of us can get some
ideas on better farming practices
that we can put in use on our own
farms. This is our experiment sta
ton, we pay taxes that run it. We
can learn from their work cheaper
than we can do our own experiment
ing. Let's go up and learn first hand
some of the things they are doing.
Annual Farm Bureau meeting is
called for Tuesday of that week.

HERALD PLACES
ORDER FOR NEW
OPTZ1NUS PRESS
No Money Returned Either.

The Herald closed deal last week
for an up-to-date newspaper press
capable of printing seven column
paper, full size. Shipment is prom
ised this week and installation will
be made in the new Herald building.
Barring a hitch We will be printing a
bigger and better paper in few
weeks.
The press is what is known in trade
parlance as a "39x53 Optimus Bah
cock" 1t is a combination newspaper
and lob press capable of doing the
very finest work. The order includes
a three horse power direct drive mo-
tor and a separate newspaper folder
with motor attached. Our equipment
will be equipped with direct motor
drives throughout eliminating all line
shafting. Another feature will be the
new C. S. NJ INTERRUPTED Our plant
will be one of the best equipped IN
the state.
We part with lot of our old equip
ment including the old Reliance Bah
cock" This press was purchased
away back in 1889 by Charles Harp
er, following the Herald fire. 1t was
and is a superb piece of machinery,
bat modern conditions require more
ample and more flexible equipment.
We part with the old Reliance"
with regret. Millions of copies of the
Herald have been printed on it and
today it runs as smooth as glass. 1t
is certainly a grand old press.
This answers the general query:
when are you going to mover Our
buy of the old Teller building and
plant required the disposed OF the
plant and general repairs to the
building. These things take time.
Soon, we hope, all will be in shape for
a move.
For a long time it has been appar-
ent to us that better and larger
equipment was needed in the Herald
office. Now if ever, while we are
preparing to move, is the time TO
make the needed improvements.
While these things take money and
lots of it we are banking on the sta
bility of old Grant and face the future
with full confidence.
Better equipment will mean a
greater opportunity for service and
a bigger and better Herald. These
improvements will be evident as they
manifest themselves and any credit
due the office can be safely left with
the subscriber to say.
AS soon as we get squared away
THAT will be some time yeti we want
YOU all to come in and see US. we
will let you know.

but he created the circumstances
himself So, apparently, did his part
ner.
No Money Returned Either.
Counsel for Clark stated at the
trial that defendant had given every
thing he had to the bank ''even to the
rings on his fingers" Bank authori-
ties say he did give a diamond ring
valued at around $500 They deny
that he has given anything else ex-
cept under pressure, such as his home
equity. Pugh assigned certain real
estate equities upon his return to
Lancaster last summer. He retained
his homestead
Spirit of Revenge Not Becoming.
The Herald does not feel that a
spirit of revenge becomes this COM
munity. We do not believe that pun
ishment by confinement in "a living
hell for a long term of years would
serve any good purpose. Therefore
when the demands of justice are met
leave the sentence stand.
COntritiOn Before Forgiveness.
But the community deserves an eX-
PLANTATION. 1t deserves a statement
of contrition. Neither of these has
been made Forgiveness cannot fol-
low until a spirit of regret appears.
To date it looks as though both men
were sorry principally for themselves.
InsOlvent for Many Years.
The Herald has nothing against
either man from a personal stand
point We always liked both of them.
We do not hate them now because
they have been found out and are
paying the penalty. But facts are
facts and it looks as though the bank
was run for several years after it was
insolvent with deceit subterfuge and
bunk being handed to depositors and
stockholders.
Public Somewhat to Blame.
The public is somewhat to blame
for standing for certain things and
encouraging certain things. We also
have our share of the blame. And
this, we hope, is our last word on the
subject

FEDERAL EXPERT
MAKES TESTHERE
FOR BOVINE T. B.

Federal cattle inspector r. E.. Mel
son, at the request of local breeders,
made tests for bovine tuberculosis in
the herds of this vicinity the past
week. AS a result cattle were con-
demned as follows: w. l.. GeDbach
& Son, 9; r. c. Willis & Son, two;
Ora Govier, one; Riley Graney, one;
John Fuerstenberg, one; JOS. Cas-
pers, one; Jessie Williams, one.
Following three tests six months
apart and a clean bill insofar as re-
actors are concerned, the herd is
placed on accredited list as being
free from tuberculosis.
The diseased stock will be shipped
to Chicago this week and slaughter
ed. The carcasses are given careful
examination and rejected if found un-
fit for human food. Rejected car
casses go as tankage.
Farmers having federal test made
will receive compensation from the
government Some farmers who re-
Gently had state tests made will re-
ceive no compensation as the state
fund for this purpose is exhausted.
Some of the West Grant farmers have
had state tests made recently.
Livestock authorities say the need
of testing is a self evident fact. Act
cording to university statements 8
cent and not more than Z per cent OF
the herds of Grant county are infected.
Iowa and La Fayette counties show
l per cent and not more than per
cent, while the Oldest dairy district
in the state, southeast Wisconsin,
shows per cent and not more than
Is per cent.

Should Pugh Sentence
Be Reduced Seven Years!

In another column the Herald dis
cusses the Peoples Bank case, Facts
are given as we find them. We think
the public has the right to know the
truth.
Another topic for local discussion
is the Pugh sentence. General opln-
ion holds that regardless OF the JUS
tice of Pughs sentence it should be
reduced to a term similar to that in
fiicted upon Clark.
It seems that Pugh was not the
master raind and arch criminal he
was at first assumed to be. His thefts
were not the greater of the two. He
pleaded guilty and in error as to pro-
tecting himself, had no counsel. He
accepted sentence on larger amount
than the state could prove on him and
went to Jail without blaming or talk
ing about his former associates. He
has, to say the least, taken his dose"
in a sporting way. Pugh is no plker.
AS a matter of fairness between the
two sentences the Pugh case should
be reconsidered.

As soon as congress authorizes it, thing of which there is no doubt the city will then proceed to dispose of the addi- tional bonds necessary, not in excess of $5O,00O.
 Mayor Thomas Torry and the mem bers of the council were unanimous ly of the opinion that work should be commenced at the earliest possible moment Also it was decided unan> imously that the people of Ketchikan the bonds, in denominations ranging from $50 to $1,000.
