The man asked the outsiders why
they didn't go In and wait on the
steps with the other boys. They were
candid tads and walled with Job
like frankness that they didn't have
no money to buy nothin' with-thats
why.
The man asked If a quarter each
would help the cause along. The
boys answered with rhapsodic grins
that showed white tushes between
teeth hedding gaps. The man made
his contribution and told the tads to
go to 1t, and as he went his way the
tricky twilight put in his face a some-
thing more than the occasion called
for-memory, most likely.
Which Is nothing to write about

The young woman interrupted with
a remark exactly as If she had been
another fellow:

Both men accepted her statement
exactly as they would have done in
the case of any other buddy and the
talk was on. After a bit the recruit
ing officer mentioned a scarcity of
recent enlistments. This made the
young woman chip in with another
remark:

at home than enter the service, which
pays too little for marriage. You
could raise regiments of capable
women who could do guard duty. po-
lice work and every other sort of

think of it?"
The recruiting officer took it as a
joke. The man who had fought in
France knew better. He told the
young woman to take her idea to the
War Department and that he would
back her to the finish.
And now we will see what comes

IF you are still faithful to your
childhood's infatuation for honey

The gatherer of bean pods voiced
astonished contradictions:
why, these are honey locust beans.
Don't you like them?" and she walked
over to the warning one with pods

The bean eater smiled regret and
shook her head.

THERE was going to be a lawn
! party in the yard of church up
Capitol Hill way. Everything was
ready and only waiting for the dusk
to darken into twilight-even to the
inside tunings Of a fiddle that was
lifting out hymn tune set to Jazz.
The one table spread out on a
patch of grass near the brick path
had its cloth near hidden by plates
of sandwiches and small cakes cir

were glass dishes heaped with suck
ers, pastry cones. "two-for" choco-
lates wrapped in silver foil, and
popcorn. All of which was pretty,
but so usual In these times of lawn
fetes as to be not worth the mention,
except for a bunch of too-early arriv-
of course. sitting on the
porch steps or straddling its railings,
each with his eyes plastered on the
coming feast like so many crows
watching a farmer plant corn.
A passerby-a fine, outstanding man,
who comes and goes that road on
his way to the House Building
paused to chuckle understandingly at
the early arrivals who were too
hypnotized to take their eyes from
the table. In moving on he noticed
two outside tads staring at the
Barmecide feast with a hungering
hopelessness. in dramatic contrast to

luckier boys who were there to buy

The inference that she was eating
locust beans to stave of starvation
ought to have been humiliating, but
you can laugh at mistake like that
when 1t has no foundation, and,
anyhow, 1t wouldn't do to put on airs
to a nice, fat and oldish couple who
had your welfare at heart. So the

a happy day, and went on. after

DEFENDS q. S. CONSTITUTION
{ Continues From Pace 3D.

Continued From Page -
"The constitution is either super
ior, paramount law, Interchangeable by
ordinary means, or it it is on a level
with ordinary legislative acts, and
like other acts, is alterable when the
legislature shall please to alter it.
The latter alternative would subvert
the very foundation of our constitu-
ton. 1t would declare that an act
which, according to the principles and
theory of our government, is entirely
void, is yet, in practice, obligatory.
1t would declare that if the legisla-
ture shall do what is expressly for
hidden, such act, Notwithstanding the
express prohibition, is in reality eff
fectual Thus it would reduce to
nothing, what we have determined to
be the greatest improvement on po-
litical institutions, our written con-
stitution"

the display of fancy work by Ruby
Pagel, aged 10.

and formerly resided in Grant county.
This is Mr. Arnett's first visit to his
boyhood home in 35 years.
Francis Joyce sent an exhibit of
school work to the state fair on which
she received a place in the rural
school work. The same exhibit was
shown at the fair and took fourth
place, netting premiums of $14.

he landed in front of the state bank
and there received a charge of Is B B
shot in his left side. The sounds fol-
lowed two shots by rifle or revolver,
according to Manning. Manning said
he started to run but the bullets came
swifter than his legs could travel. He
said he went home and received first
aid from DR.. Ruka. The next day he
went to Madison where X-rays were
taken. But two shots were removed,
the balance being in his body.
Mr.. Kopp for the defense, quizzed
Manning closely in regard to his move
ments on the night in question. 1t de-
veloped that the youth was carrying
bucket which he said he used to
drain oil out of his car into. He said
he had nothing else. When asked if
he set the shack on fire Manning said,
Il refuse to answer"
John Manning told of the boy COM
| ing home covered with blood and with
measures taken for treatment.
Dr. E. A. Ruka told of treatment ad-
ministered by him.
John Steinhart of near Avoca, Iowa
| County, told of driving into Muscoda
about 1 a. m. and seeing the shack on
| fire. His testimony substantiated the
claim that the shack had been fired
| twice as the final burning and shoot
| ing took place about 2:30.
DR. McGovern told of being awaken
ed by shots and of seeing Mr.. Groves
with a gun on his arm.
| Martha Nachaze1 told of being awak-
ened by shots and of looking out and
seeing Groves, Geo. Rowland and Joe
Hayes near the fire. Someone said:
"Well, whoever he was, he is full OF
shot"
Louis POLAND told of hearing Mr..
Groves say he "saw man across the
street"
The defense, in a few words, moved
| to dismiss the case Mr.. Clementson
cordially disagreed. He said there
might have been a case of arson in
addition to the shooting and inferred
that would be taken up in due time.
Mr. Kopp replied saying there had
been no crime committed unless it
was arson Certainly" he said, ''the
evidence does not justify charge of
assault with intent to kill and muir
der!"
Judge Goodsell said there was no
question abaut Manning's being shot
and while he was not passing on evil
dence he believed some offense had
been committed. He then held the de-
PENDANT to circuit court.

WISCONSIN BEES ARE BUSY

Wisconsin's busy bees are buzzing
around their hives these days putting
the finishing touches to the 1924 honey
crop. A bee expert says: This state
has the natural flowers for bees. The
clovers, white and alsike varieties are
among the chief of these. Then there
are the other scattering sources, such
as the passwords and raspberrieS."
Honey producers credit the white and
the alsike clovers with being the two
principal honey plants of the world
The presence of these plants in so
many sections of the state helps the
beekeepers to produce 100000 or
more pounds of the silver and gold
delicacy each year. In terms of cash
this crop means around 100000
when sold to consumers. There are
no special beekeeping areas in Wis
consin, according to bee specialists.
Bees are being kept by $4,000 bee
keepers and farmers in sections of
the state except the light sandy soil
areas where the clovers do not thrive
Individual beekeepers keep from one
hive up to as many as 600 hives.

First he threatened District Attorney
Clementson of Grant county, with
removal from office, next he threat
ened Senator Severson with removal
and now he threatens the removal OF
certain members of the highway COM

These cases of removal may be
contagious. If the removal germ
reaches the voters of the state, and
they become seriously infected, il

Clean Politics.


A friend of ours in comparing rel1g-
ion and politics, says there is no COM
parison. Religion, he says, is some
thing sacred and set apart. Politics,
he infers, is something degraded and
prostituted. The two things should
not be spoken of the in the same
breath.
The Herald agrees and yet disa-
grees. Religion, at its best, is sacred
close to the inner heart of man. And
politics, as frequently practiced, is
corrupt.
Where we disagree is in admitting
all this and holding an aloof attitude.
Our duty, as citizens, is to elevate
politics. Politics, in reality, is gov
ernement. Whether we have good gov
eminent or bad government depends
upon ourselves.
An aloof, critical attitude will not
help things. Let us criticise all we
please but step into the fight with a
determination to make things better.
Religion is the province of God.
Government the obligation of Man.

Education.

EuucdllOHs
A lively, critical interest in edu-
cational affairs, is not as some may
fear. to be deplored. Rather it is a
hopeful and healthy condition. Even
though we know but little of educa-
tional methods it is right that we
should think and talk about them
Every person has good ideas. BY dis
cussing things we bring about i'm
provement.
The Herald believes that education
should tie up with life to the fullest
extent. School work should be tie
basis for life work.
In the high school we think the
special courses should relate to the
probable activities of most of the
pupils in later years. Many girls
become teachers. There is a con-
slant demand for good teachers at
good wages. Therefore, we should
have a teachers training course.
Many boys, particularly country boys,
become farmers. Therefore, along
with a general education to broaden
them and give them greater vision
and understanding, they should have
agricultural training. An agricultural
course is fully justified.
The Herald favors school courses
adapted to the probable activities OF
the pupils in mature life. Ours is a
community that believes in education
and needs teachers. And our greatest
activity is farming.
