rERFEor FLApPER AT PALAcE

PERFECT FLAPPER AT fALAcG
 The girl of today, herself prob om, has her own problem to face:
 What kind of girl must be 0 be the sort of a girl the boys ant me to be?"
 This is the theme of 'The Per- ect Flapper," Colleen Moore's new tarring vehicle, which is now on the screen at the Palace theater. The modern girl is thoroughly dias- nosed and analysed by Jessie Hen derson, the author; John Francis Dillon. the director, and Colleen Moore, the star. The result is said to be a picture which outdistances Flaming Youth" as an epic of the iazz age.
 In the role of Tommic Lou Penn Der, Colleen Moore finds and lives ID to her greatest opportunities.

ANOTHER AUTO
CRASH AT CAR
TRAP CORNERS

Anothers serious auto collision oc-
Cured Friday morning about 1880 at
Knapp's corners on the Liberty road.
This time Ford touring car enroute

KTWANLS BACKS
BOY SCOUT WORK
DURING VACATION

]. H. Huff, state secretary for the
Y. NJ. c. A, was in Lancaster on bus
mess Wednesday and while here adj
dressed the Kiwanis club at the reg
ular weekly luncheon. In no sense
pretending to be an orator Mr.. Huff
gave a good, sensible talk on youth
development He said that develop
ment was our-fold-mental, moral,
physical and SCOTLAND that no one
of the four points could be neglected
if a well-rounded character waste be
obtained. Mr.. Huff quoted the apt old
saying: THE Idle Brain is the Devils
Workshop" in pleading for whole
some activities for boys. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that committee
should take steps toward securing a
scout leader for the the boys of the
city during the remaining summer
weeks and that some plan should be
worked out whereby the work could
be kept up during the fall and winter
in fact, through the whole year.
This is part of the Kiwanis welfare
work justifying the slogan: I'VE
Build" Messrs. r. NJ. Orchard. James
Fowler and Hugh Orion comprise the
committee to retain scout leader.
Otto Austin of Madison, a resident
here a few years ago and now attend
ing the state university, has applied
for the post. He is said to be capable
in the work.

LONE STTCK-UP
FOUND TOBE
VILLAGE CUT-UP

The lone bandit and "stick-up" man,
who frightened several groups of mo-
tor travellers out of years growth
near Arthur Wednesday night week
ago, has been identified as being an
Arthur young man named Millard,
aged IS, who was playing practical
joke. Young Willard said he was out
to scare brother. Whether he scared
his brother is not known, but he GER
tainly scared a number of other peo-
pie into near Mysteries.
The youth wore a boy scout uni
form, mask and carried a couple of
toy pistols. The pistols made a report
when fired but elected no bullets.
While nothing may be done about
it, a practical joker like this would
be subject to a fine for a misdemean-
or if nothing else. Impersonating a
highwayman is dangerous business
and the comical minded youth might
be now reposing with slugs through
his chest and his face toward the
milky way had some hot-headed man
with a gun been his victim. Practical
jokes, as a rule, don't pay.

CITY DADS TO
LAND HARD ON
BOOTLEGGERS
Pass Booze and Traffic
Control Ordinances.

The city council at its last meeting
took definite steps to curb the liquor
nuisance in Lancaster and to regulate
auto traffic so that life and property
are more safe.
The new liquor ordinance forbids
the manufacture, transportation or
sale of intoXicants in the meaing of
the prohibition law and defines the
punishment to be inflicted in case of
violation. The ordinance will be en-
forced to the letter, Mayor Becks
says, and violations will be swiftly
and rigidly prosecuted.
Traffic Problem to be Handled
The traffic ordinance is an effort to
keep in step with the traffic problem
which has become pressing even in
small cities like Lancaster. 1t is
nothing to have several hundred cars
parked in the streets and in time of
celebrations and the like the number
of moving and parked cars may cas-
lily exceed a thousand.
Full details of each ordinance may
be found on page z of this paper. AS
the ordinances become effective upon
publication it will pay every Lancas-
ter resident and visitor to familiarize
himself with them.

CROP REPORT
FOR JUNE NOT
TOO DLSPLRI7ING

The July 1 crop report issued by
the U. S. and Wisconsin departments
of agriculture, is on the whole cheer
full in tone. Crops are late due to
cold weather and corn in particular
is small. Hay stands are only fair
but prospects are better than they
were a month ago. Alfalfa made an
excellent first growth and plans for a
larger acreage are expressed in all
sections. The pea crop is now being
gathered. The canning industry has
expanded rapidly in recent years and
another increase of 1870 is noted this
year. A dozen or more new factories
are in the field for the 1924 harvest.
Grant county has but two areas de-
voted to pea raising and canning. One
and the leading area is at Cassville.
The Lancaster area is of recent de-
velopment but coming forward stead
lily. Central and eastern Wisconsin
counties are dotted with pea canning
factories. All parts of the state grow
peas successfully and factories can be
found clear to the upper line.
The report indicates that small
grains, oats, barley, rye, winter and
spring wheat are about ten percent
below the general 5-year crop aver
age Pastures are good. Fruit pros
poets following the abnormal crop of
last year, are only fair. Strawberries
have been a heavy crop and of fine
quality.

BUTTE'RMAKERS'
CONVENTION IN
LANCASTER nth

On Friday, July II, there will be
a meeting of all buttermakers, cream
erymen and farmers interested in the
industry at Lancaster. 1t is expected
that creamerymen of Grant, Iowa and
Lafayette counties will compete with
a 20-pound tub of butter for the scor-
ing by r. G. Larson, Wisconsin But
termakers' association, j. c. Boetcher,
Dairy and Food commissioner, and w.
NJ Totman, University Dairy Dept.
Scoring of butter will take place at
Beck & Schwartz creamery on the
morning of the 18th, and the after
noon will be spent in a general meet
ing and discussion at Grantland club
rooms.
A lack of uniformity in butter is
something that has been quite an in
fiuence in the merchandising of our
dairy produce. The Importance of
having standard product that is uni
form would make a considerable diff
ference in the price obtained for our
butter. The hope is ultimately make
a high standard in the scoring of all
butter and every dairyman should at
tend this meeting-J. B. K.

HURDLES ONWARD

Geo. P. Goble relates that on Sat
urday evening while returning to
Lancaster from Potosi he found Ford
coupe in the ditch north of British
Hollow. The occupants, man and
wife, informed Mr.. Goble they were
not hurt but asked him to pursue and
locate the identity of big roadster,
occupied by two young men, which
had dftched them and fed north. Mr..
Goble was passed by the car just be-
fore he came to the accident and noted
it was being driven rapidly. George

DRIVE ON TO
STOP ARMY
WORM PEST
Plague is Now Active in
Grant County.

The protection of the crops in this
county, on your farm and every other
farm, depend in a great measure on
the action taken by each individual in
the county. Army worms are numer-
Gus and doing considerable damage in
various parts of the county. In other
sections of the county we find them
here and there and in nearly every
case they are doing their work, which
we will see at the end of the year IN
the crop yield per acre.
Many of us do not realize just how
important an Army worm invasion
really is. Many say: 81 have a few
worms, but not enough to do any
great damage" This may be the case
yet each worm allowed to live goes on
into the resting stage and comes out
as an adult or moth some time later
this summer. If conditions are right
there is no reason why we should not
be troubled more seriously from the
damage done by this insect. If each
person having crops affected with the
pest would take measures to eradicate
Mr.. Army Worm we would be able to
save ourselves considerable loss at a
later date.
1dSJ WIEN L ulSLIIOuCo Il1C LctSG C4Ae1I
worms were working mostly on bot
tom lands. This is true to certain
extent, yet we find them working on
the uplands as we'll We have them
affecting crops on nearly all types of
soil in nearly all localities; rye, corn,
oats, barley, timothy and even the
blue grass pastures are being dam
aged. Therefore, don't you think that
have the the only crop or the location
of the crop that the army worms are
doing damage to. All that we ask is
that you keep awake, inspect your
fields and take action if you note their
presence. In each case where we
have found them to be active we have
been able to stop their damage with
in Is or "a hours and this by the use
of poison bait.

caster citizens in honor of their guests
was up to standard of fine parades of

expense were expended by those par

is that the result is viewed for a few

ATTEND Big
CELEBRATION
Legion Boys Clear Tidy
Sum on Enterprise.

All Legion promises as to a glori-
Gus Fourth in Lancaster were carried
out to the letter and the forecast as to
a crowd of 5000 people was estab
lished as correct.
Fridays celebration here was
success in all respects. Wonderful
program went forward without
hitch of any kind
An All Day Long Program
Events began with the sunrise sa-
lutte. The celebration hosts then div
ided for various duties, policing the
city, caring for the parades and other
program events and handling the big
crowd. Legion members co-operated
with the city officials in the last mat
ter and it is a point of satisfaction
that not a fight, drunk, arrest, acct
dent or angry word marred the day.
Things Moved on Regular Schedule
The morning parade was held on the
minute. It's details are recited else
where. Following that came a pat
riotic address of real merit delivered
by the Rev. Evans of Beloit, a former
Lancaster pastor. A large crowd
gathered at the fair grounds to hear
his sensible and inspiring utterances.
Ball Came, Comic Parade and Music
The first event of the afternoon was
ball game between Rogers Park and
Madison, the last named team win
ming by score of too. Then came
the mirth- provoking ragamuffin par
ade with comic features in front of
the grandstand.

Our Constitution.


A good many people refer to our
constitution and its guarantees yet
how many read it? 1t is worth noting
that the clauses relating to freedom
of conscience were the work of
Thomas Jefferson, our third president,
and free thinker. Some wanted to
make the guarantees apply to Chris
tians only. but Jefferson said: Not
at all. Freedom in worship applies to
every creed or no creed at all" We
suggest a reading of the constitution
once a year at least.
The following is an excerpt from the
first amendment to the constitution
fathered by the great Jefferson, all
honor to his name:
December Is, 1791-Congress shall
make no law respecting an establish
ment of religion or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; or abridging
the freedom of speech OR OF THE
PRESS: or the right of people peace
ably to assemble and to petition the
government for a redress of griev-
anceS.
The principles of the great founder
of Democracy might be needed with
profit by some of the embattled breth-
rem at the New York convention.

SCHOOL DISTRICT
MEETING PROVES
TO BE AMICABLE

At the annual school meeting Mon
day evening the district voted to raise
the sum of $31, 900.5S, which is about
$4,000 less than year ago.
Mr. Harper objected to salaries
paid teachers, saying they are too
high in comparison with what far
mers are getting for hogs. The bud
get passed, however, with but one
dissenting vote. This action settled
the moot question of special courses
such as manual training, domestic
science and commercial for the en-
suing year.
Mr.. Morse, chairman of the meeting,
explained details of expenditures for
the new school, saying that funds on
hand exceeded probable expenditures
by about $4,000. This excess was
received from interest on district
funds through the sagacity of Treas.
Schreiner. 1t was voted to expend
the sum of S10,083 % for the purpose
of retiring new school bonds.
Mr.. Morse was reelected president
of the board for three years. Mrs.
Crichton was elected member of the
board for two years from the 4th
ward. After three ballots, Mrs. Lam
pert GrOonleT was S1SCIeu meAnpeI a.
large for two years. Mr.. Granville
was elected clerk for two years to
fill a vacancy made by the resignation
of Geo. Tuffley. The meeting then
adjourned.
To enliven the inevitable dullness
of long balloting, ETC., humorists pres
ent cast votes for Al. Smith, w. G..
McAdoo, w. J. Bryan, Andy Gump and
others. The meeting was of general
interest and local people display a
healthy concern in school matters, as
they should.
