/. The Art Alliance of Philadelphia
has decided to hold an exhibition of
the portraits painted by Morse. and
this will be the first public effort to

The exhibition probably will be held

SWEDISH TRADE GROWS.
Exports and Imports With United
States on Increase.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.t
STOCKHOLM, October 28.-Ameri-
can imports to Sweden have increased
from about 10 per cent Of the coun-
try's total before the war to 25 per
cent for 1923. The 1923 imports
amounted to 213,70O,000 crowns.
Among the largest imports from
the United States are automobiles,
which last year amounted to about
$4,000, 900 crowns value, while petrol
and tires imported represented twice

ports in 1914 to IL per cent last year,
amounting to 12S,000,O00 crowns. Pa

From the Cornish Arms Hotel Bulletin.
A Highlander by the name Of Mac
dougall, who had prided himself for
years on being able to play any tune
that had ever BEEN played on the
pipes, had perched himself on the
side of one of his native hills one
Sunday morning and commenced to
blow for all he was worth.
Presently the minister came along
and going up to Macdougall with the
intention of severely reprimanding
him, said, in a harsh voice, Mac

Macdougall scratched his chin for
4 moment and then in an equally
harsh voice. said:

Boat Of the Stone Age.

From the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Believed to be relie Of the stone age
5000 years old, has been found In a
marsh in England. It lay seven feet
beneath the surface not far from a
tidal river and Is II feet long and
three feet wide. Apparently 1t had
been followed from an oak tree by the
crude implements belonging to the Pc
riod that ended from 1900 to 1000 years
before Christ, when, according to scien-
lists, bronge began to take the place of
stone. In spite Of its age, the boat was
well preserved.

Neutral Area Maintained.

Apparently Turkey and Greece are
AZ friendly as could be expected con-
stdering the ticklsh matter of the
exchange of populations which is
working havoc in both countries. A
e-kflometer-deep no-man's land has
been drawn in Thrace between the
two countries, and the British fleet,
SO 1t is said in Constantinople, will
guarantee this neutral area.
Ever since Lloyd George chose the
Greeks as British standard bearers
Of trade in the Mediterranean defeat
has accompanied every effort. Even
an the wealth of the Constantinople
Creek. Sir Basil Zaharoff. could not
give Greece military domination and
economic domination. Greece. de-
feated in military campaigns, has
always beaten the Turks economically.
The Turks are not business or ship
ping people. The Greeks are. Thus,
when the million Greeks were driven
fEpm Smyrna and Asia Minor they
took with them the commerce in
fruits and tobacco as well as the rug
industry. The refugees in Greece
abe now making the rugs which for
merly meant much wealth to Turkey.
Take Shipping Industry.
The Greeks also took the shipping
industry with them when they left
Csnstantinople. The Turks made
taxes so high and increased port
charges to such an extent that ships
stpp at Piraeus in Greece for cargo
transfers instead of at Constanti-
ndple, which is fast sinking in i'm
pdrtance. Economic conditions are
sd bad that even the Russians are
lesving. Part of this is due to the
boycott of Constantinople by the
present Turk government, which
wishes to make Angora bloom in the
desert.
There are ill-founded rumors in
Constantinople that Mustapha kemal
Pasha intends to try to capture Salo-
nika from the Greeks, but the Turk
ish president declares he will not
make war on Greece because his
home happens to be in Salonika. 1t
is. true many Of the leaders of the
new Turkey come from Salonika and
its vicinity. Turkey seems satisfied
with its frontiers in Thrace.

Orchestra Comment

Lancaster has taken itself out of
the fourth city column with one
act. It took nerve and confidence,
but the Kiwanis Club of the County
Seat has done it by arranging to
bring the Minneapolis Symphony Or
chestra of IS people to the city and
for one night enjoy the most glorious
music possible to hear anywhere in
this country. 1t may be that some of
the citizens of that city will object
on the ground that it is sending lot
of money from the town, but we are
will have practically the unanimous
backing of the community. These
are the big things that count. We
are all talking about keeping the
youth at home-of making the town
and city attractive so that the chill
dren will not fall for the lure of the
bigger places. What finer investment
can be made than to give to all the
young people and the old for a night,
such an outstanding organization as
the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra?
That is also suggestion to the peopie
of Platteville that we too should
have some outstanding attraction as
this during the winter. Nor can the
criticism apply that it will take money
from the city, as has been done in
the case of other fine organizations
brought here.-Plattevill Journal.
The orchestra is not being brought
to Lancaster for the purpose of MAX
ing money-the cost is too great for
that; but it is expected that the thea
ter will be crowded at both concerts
to hear the finest musical attraction
that has ever been presented in this
section of the country, and prices
only high enough to insure the pay
ment of expenses will be charged. So
if you want to hear wonderful con-
cert, as good as can be heard in any
on October 29th.-Bloomington Rec

OBJECT TO TRAIN REMOVAL

R. NJ Orchard and J. t. Bennett
went to Chicago on the Monday night
train to interview Northwestern Of
ficials in regard to removal of the
morning train to Galena. Mr.. Orchard
was in Madison Monday and was in
formed by rail rate commissioner
head that the road had removed the
train of its own initiative. It seems
that the commission cannot review a
matter of this kind until after the
train has been taken off.
An absurd article in the State Jour-
nal of last week said the train had
been removed at request of Lancaster
people The fact is that Lancaster
people and other residents of the coun-
ty object strongly to removing the
train. They realize that the train has
not been paying but feel that the large
general business enjoyed by the road
out of this county entities US to at
least two trains day even though
the passenger traffic may show loss.
The freight business must be highly
profitable.

WIN
OPENER ON
HOME GROUND

In the second game of the season
Lancaster high school downed Spring
Green high school before fair-sized
crowd at the new school grounds.
The visitors had trimmed Dodgeville
AZ to last week and as Lancaster had
lost to Richland Center in the first
game, they expected to win.
Capt. Clementson won the toss and
chose to receive. Sweeney got the
kickoff and advanced the ball fifteen
yards. On straight football, with reg
ular formation, the ball was carried to
within the 15-yard line when the Wis
itors frightened up and held for downs.
Spring Green then took the ball and
made several gains, displaying enough
strength to force the locals to renewed
efforts. It was not until the second
quarter that Lancaster was able to
score. A pass from Richardson to
Clementson over the goal line to-
gether with a well placed kick by
Clementson Melted points for L. H.
S. The game was contested without
any further scoring until the fourth
quarter and again the air route was
responsible for touchdown, with the
same play and by the same members
of the team who executed the first
successful attempt.
The game served to show the fans
that the team is worthy of support.
The boys, most of them very young,
went into the game in earnest and
with evident determination to win.
The backs showed speed in starting
and made nice gains at times, but
have much yet to learn about getting
into the interference and getting the
ends and half backs out of the way.
With the training they are getting by
both the coach, Mr.. Mudrak and Mr..
Miles, and with no game for this
week, by the time Mineral Point is
met October II, the team should be
developed into a smooth running
machine.
There are plenty of enthusiastic
supporters of football in Lancaster
if the members of the team will do
their part. The old game cannot be
learned in a few evenings practice.
A successful team can be had only
when every man is out there every
night getting in condition and learning
new plays and perfecting the old ones.
The school and the public want team
and will support one, but the boys
cannot look for big attendance at
games, much roofing or final banquet
ing if the boys show tendency to
cut practice just because they won a
game.

K. X. K. PARADE
PROVES TO BE
A MILD AFFAIR

Lancaster people who motored to
Madison Saturday to see the big khan
parade say there were 1900 unmask-
ed marchers in line. It was reported
that Gov Blaine had wired the sheriff
asking him to stop the parade on the
grounds that it was an affront to the
state The sheriff, it is said, declined
to take action unless there was a
breach of the peace. First in line
were half dozen or so marchers
followed by band. An onlooker
claims the drum of the band had the
name of a well known organization on
the tympani. Following were the
marchers, two by two, and with arms
folded. Our informant says the par
ade was entirely peaceable and more
like a funeral procession than any,
thing else. There were thousands

MODEL DAIRY
DESTROYED BY
FRIDAY BLAZE

PlatteviIle-A large, well equipped
dairy barn, built on the Walter Klie-

destroyed by fire Friday night.
The fire was discovered in the upper
portion of the barn about s o'clock.
Mr.. Kliebenstein rescued his dairy
herd and calves from the basement
and telephoned for the city fire depart
ment. A high wind blowing from the
south at the time is all that saved
the home as the barn was seething

the scene.
Dairy equipment, hay and grain
stored in the barn, and the structure
are a loss, but partly covered by in
surance 1t is believed the fire start

agents in disguise and were really
looking for wine. There was consid-

fruit juices out of sight at some

the alleged detectives made no seiz-

strangers were not government agents

FROM POTOSI

mail stage from Potosi The plan is
to have the stage arrive here at 4 p.
M. leaving about 4:30 p. m. This
would give Lancaster patrons inbound
mail from the trains running south
and afford Chicago service outbound
on the 1850 a. m. train on the Burling

Postal Inspector Esch and the Kiwanis
club by unanimous vote agreed to lend
full cooperation.
