OLD CAPITOL TRANSFER

Lancaster people who motored to
Belmont Sunday to take in the trans
fer of the old territorial capitol to
the state conservation commission say
the crowd was so large that cars
were parked for a mile from the
scene of activities. Gov. Blaine made
an address and a number of other
celebrities were on the program. The
elder Mr.. Rindlaub, former editor of
the Platteville Witness, has been ac-
tive in having the 1887 capitol re-
stored and turned over to the state
For years the building was used for
farm purposes.

IN REPLY TO
CRITICISM
Says He Was Misguided
in Recent Utterances.

BELOIT-Denying the accuracy of
the words ascribed to him and the in
ference drawn from the imputed SEN
tence, the Rev. H. A. Stubedaker to-
day made public statement in which
he takes positive issue with DR.. P. A.
Howell, who scored the pastor in the
presence of more than 200 veterans
of the Civil, Spanish-American and
World wars in Legion hall Monday
night
In his remarks to the veterans DR..
Howell charged that in his Armistice
service last November the Rev. Mr..
Studebaker pointed to the flag and
said, THAT thing there that you
choose to call your natianal emblem
is nothing but an emblem of war;

mo statement could be farther
from the truth than that reported as
having been made by DR.. Howell at

erican Legion" declared Mr.. Stude-
baker today. cit has not the slightest
basis in fact. How such an inference
could be drawn like his passes my
comprehension. Only an utterly bias
ed mind would have gone away from
the Armistice service with any such
! impression. This is what l said:
eff America lives life of self

refuses to enter with sympathy into
the needs and sorrows of the world
if she shall turn her back upon war
weary and heart-hungry world, having
in mind only her own economic ag-
grandizement, the flag is not symbol
of peace and good will but only SYM
boil of war and of the lust of gain
America must bear her full share OF

ct is a species of diabolical injus-
tice and intellectual dishonesty to take
up one sentence out of a discourse
and distort it and mangle it in the
heat of a perverted imagination to the
attempted undoing of man who is

INTERSTATE OIL
TO BUILD NEW
STA TON HERE

F. D. WeatherwaX, representing the
Interstate Oil Co., of La Crosse, was
in Lancaster last week comforting
with local contractors in regard to
the erection of an up-to-date service
station on the Interstate lots 120Xl2O,
at the southeast corner of Cherry and
Jefferson streets.
Mr.. WeatherWaX appeared before
the city council at special meeting
Monday evening of last week and Sc
cured the required permission to erect
and operate the station.
The building will go up at once. 1t
will be of ornamental kellastone or
stucco finish of artistic design. The
approaches will be on two sides
one on Cherry street near the alley,
and the other on corner of Jefferson
and Cherry. Sweeping drives will &C
commodate the cars ente ing and
leaving the station.
Plans call for completion July l or
shortly thereafter. The Interstate
Company bought the lots of DR.. God
frey a couple of years ago and their
present move to build shows deter
mination to make full use OF their
Lancaster property. Such storage as
is necessary will be made on the lots
but it will be of unobstrusive char
acter.
The filling station will be in charge
of L. B. WeatherwaX, who for the
past year has been local Interstate
representative The Interstate pro-
ducts have an excellent reputation
for quality and it goes without say
ing that their future business here
will greatly increase.

In Justice Court

Ralph Biederbeck of Platteville is
in Jail on a charge of failure to sup
port his divorced wife and a child.
Alfred Kirschbaum of Cassville was
before Justice G. w. Burrows Satur-
day on charge of abandonment of
wife and child. He was released on
bonds of $500 to appear before Juve-
nile Judge Goodsell yesterday after
noon.
Undersheriff Morse returned from
Ithaca, Mich, Saturday, empty hand
ed. His man, Roy Steele, wanted for
non-support of his wife and child,
had flown to parts unknown. Steele's
home is in BOscobel.
A warrant has been issued for Har-
old Hinch, IS, charging the utter
ance of a $40 check on Oscar Galley.
The check was given to w. B. Dyer,
who detected the irregularity of it.
The case was set for hearing before
Justice Burrows yesterday with the
probability that the young man would
be paroled or sent to the refCrmatory.
James Burns of Harrison township
is held in the county jail for failure
to furnish $1,000 bonds on a charge
of theft of $119 from his employer,
Thomas Vannatta. 1t is said that Mr..
Vannatta went to Potosi to trade one
day last week and while there was
asked by several different parties if
he had been robbed. Vannatta knew
nothing of it but in making pur-
chase he found his bill fold stuffed
with newspaper clippings instead of
a nice roll of bills. The story is that
Burns was the one to spread the tale
of the robbery before Vannatta knew
of it himself. The case will be heard
in October unless a plea is made in
the meantime.

PROF. SANFORD
HITS SLACKNESSM
PLACING YOUTH

81 seniors graduated Wednesday
evening and received their diplomas
as per schedule. Supt. McNelly called
the names one by one, the graduate
stepping forward to receive the sheep
skin. Mr.. McNelly stated that this
years class was below normal but
he predicted a class of so next year.
Tony Ellis received the faculty med
al for scholarship he having the high
est standing in the class. Miss Hazel
Ward rendered a we'll executed piano
solo and Miss Kamm's vocal solo, IF
but had a garden" was beautiful
bit of melodious voice work.
The speaker, Milton Sanford of
the Redpath bureau, is vocational
expert who lectures on "The Tragedy
of the Misfit'' Mr.. Sanford said tests
showed that out of 10000 people 80
percent had failed to find their prop
err vocation. 1t was evident as the
professor warmed up to his subject
that he belonged to the II percent of
successes and had found his true vo-
cation as platform man.
Using numerous Illustrations to
prove that few people find what they
are best fitted to do and that once
having made a choice they find it too
late to change, Prof Sanford advo-
Gated more interest on the part OF
the parents, the adults of the commun-
ity and teachers in helping the child
locate the calling he is best adapted
for. He said that most graduates
emerge from school with the most
vague ideas of what they wish to fol-
low and that once a choice is made it
is generally from whimsical or sentl-
mental motives with no real logic
back of it.
81 am surprised that people get
along as well as they do rather than
being disheartened over their lack of
success Prof. Sanford said. He went
on to tell of his various lectures in
industrial plants, penitentiaries, asy-
lums, schools and so on and asserted
that failures in life was due almost
always to not finding a proper niche
in which to work happily and with a
love of the calling.
AS in his address at the Kiwanls
Prof. Sanford called on the adults to
work with the school faculty in bring
ing out tastes and aptness in pupil
to ascertain just what the particular
person is best suited to do. He told
Oh now 1ly-WIlIS anu IVY .
had chosen rough calling like min
ing engineering and how big, virlle
types had picked out commercial
work, stenography, etc. AS a rule the
young person had had no guidance OF
any kind in selecting vocation.
He said the effeminate type produc-
ed the great artists and unjust not be
ridiculed. And he referred to the
rough types as the builders and do
ers.
Prof. Sanford's subject is limitless.
He talked for an hour and could have
talked several hours more, so inter
ested was the audience. He was given
a rousing ovation at the close.
Rev. Louis Arhelger opened the pro-
gram with prayer and closed with
benediction. The beautiful Grantland
was packed to the doors with rela-
tives and friends of the graduates.

PIatteVille
and Lancaster.

anu IuuChHNCAs
For years the county metropolis,
PlatteviIle, and the county seat, Ian
caster. bore a grudge against each
other. Annually the war knives were
sharpened and scalps were taken.
Battles, mostly verbal, were fought.
Always Iurked a deadly spite and
hatred.
All this animus antedates our gen
Grafton but old-timers tell of it. 1t
had its origin, we understand, in the
placing of the court house at Ian
caster and later, the placing of the
normal and school of mines at Platte
Vile. In any event feeling was bitter
and rivalry severe.
But. thank fortune, the Ratchet has
long been buried The two towns find
thew have much in common to work
for and nothing to clash over or quar-
rel about. The old hates are buried as
something foolish, provincial and de-
structive. In their place is the warm
est good feeling.
Lancaster honors Platteville as a
seat of learning and sends its chill
dren there to be finished in education.
Platteville honors Lancaster as the
seat of the county government and a
CITY of fine tradition for doing things
we'll and being in the vanguard when
the advancement of Grant county is
to be considered.
This is the feeling today among the
leading citizens of the two cities.
There may be one here and there who
would like to arouse the old hates and
ieaiousies but their efforts are likely
to be frowned on and condlgnly
squelched.

Spring Late;
Now i'm Bloom.

The Herald man is not one to rave
over nature. We deeply appreciate
beautiful descriptions of natural
beauty but we have not the gift to
describe natural life as we see it and
feel it and won't try.
Few of us have the gift of describ-
ing the elusive beauty of woods,
fields and waters but all of us can
feel them and drink deep of what
Mother Nature lays before us. He is
a poor stick who can't appreciate and
marvel at spring time.
Spring is late this year and in con-
sequence many trees, shrubs and
plants that should have burst into
leaf and lowered weeks ago are just
unfolding. The woods are full of wild
flowers of every description. Ferns
are unfolding their delicate, lace-llke
leaves and the forest carpet is strewn
with a riot of colOrs of every kind.
All this comes every year and each
year it has its charm.
There is just one sight we like to
pay annual tribute to. That is the
wild crabapple in bloom. The deep
pink of these flowers cover the trees
and defy the effort of camera or
brush to reproduce them. For brief
interval we catch a glimpse of some
thing indescribabIy gorgeous. Then
spring wanes and summer advances.

County Roads
Now at Best.

Grant county roads are now at their
best and those who like to motor
(who doesn't?) are taking full advan-
tage of the hundreds of miles of beau
tiful drives right here in our own
county.
How many of us realize that we
have a superb boulevard system, gen
orally smoother than any city system
and much greater in area? The Grant
county system of patrol roads ex-
ceeds 500 miles in length, to say
nothing of an equal mileage in fair
ly good town roads.
All this system traverses miles of
surprisingly beautiful scenery. The
trouble with us is that we get used
to Grant county and don't appreciate
it. There may be other places just as
pretty but certainly none surpass
Grant county for diversity of scene
and beauty of landscape.
