WALTON LEAGUE
BACKS NEW PARK
NEAR KLONDLKE

The Izaak Walton league is behind
a plan to clean up the premises of the
recently acquired five acres south of
Klondike spring. The spring will be
cleaned out and drained so that the
marsh will dry out. Rubbish will be
cleaned away and walks laid.
Later on it is hoped to have COM
petent landscape man draw up plans
to make the city park at the spring
both ornamental and useful. The
present idea calls for permanent
walks, fireplaces, seats, ETC., and an
ultimate use of part of the ground,
say half an acre, for a bathing pool.
If feasible to do so an area half
block in extent could be devoted to
such a pool Water from the river
could be led in and out, affording
abundant and pure water for bathing.
The league meets at tn spring on
Friday night for a picnic and clean
up plans will then be discussed.

INSTALL NEW SEWAGE BEDS

The city of Lancaster is now en-
gagged in installing new sewage dis
posal beds at a probable cost of
$4,000 1t has been known for some
time that the old beds were not func-
tioning properly and an investigation
by experts of the state board of health
resulted in the old beds being con-
demned
The beds lie at separate points, one
above the cemetery road in Pigeon
creek hollow, and the other in Nathan
hollow opposite. the Hunsaker farm.
Several unlocked for items of ex-
pense have piled up in the city this
year. One was a new boiler at the
water plant, now ordered at prob
able cost of around $4,000 Sewage
work will cost $4,000, new sewer lat
erals in the third ward will cost a
neat sum and work on the standpipe
has cost several hundred. All this in
addition to regular city expenditures.

w alton League
PnrnOSeS.

The purpose of the Izaak Walton
league is not to afford good fishing
for a few members. Such a purpose
would be selfish and undeserving of
support.
OF the large number of local leag-
uers but a few are fishermen. Many
do not fish or hunt at all. They are
consequently not interested in the
league because it proposes to stock
and care for local streams although
that is one of the leagues functions
and a worthy one.
The main purpose of the Izaak Wal
ton league is to preserve wild life and
the natural beauties and resources of
America; to respect wild life and give
it a sporting chance to live; to lend
a hand in a conservation of forests
and to prevent the pollution of
streams and lakes; to inculcate love
of the outdoors and to foster this feel
ing as a necessary part of American
citizenship.

A MERITORIOUS
CONCERT ORA WIS
MEAGRE CROWD

The Herald records with consider
able regret that the large number of
music lovers in Lancaster failed to
take advantage of recital of real
merit given at the Grantland Friday
night by Clarence Mutt, tenor, and
Miss Helen Olson McAneney, soprano,
pupils of McElroy Johnson, and Mrs.
J. G. Landry, pianist, all of Mime
apolis.
The only explanation for the small
house at the Grantland was INSULT
cient publicity. Probably through
misunderstanding there was no men
ton in last weeks Herald where if
we had known the decided merit of
the entertainment we would gladly
have spread the matter broadcast.
However, those present enjoyed de-
cided treat.
Mr.. Mutt, tenor, has a voice of lyric
quality, finely sweet in its upper tones
and of great carrying power. Miss
McAneney is a soprano of quality
not often heard in large recital halls
let alone town like Lancaster. And
Mrs. Landry is a maestro at the piano.

Whether you agree or not with the

must agree that they deserved gen.

The boorish attitude of the conven-
ton as whole was a marked con-
trast with the logged demeanor of the
Wisconsin delegates under fire be-
cause they dared to go against the
crowd. There is a lot of this sort of
intolerance in the world. We think
the majority as a whole showed up

Advertise
Grant County.

Herald reader proposes that
Grant county citizens should spend a
little time and trouble improving
scenic points around the county and
then advertise the region as a place
of scenic beauty, good roads, fine food
and pleasant people.
Here's the big idea: Take a place
like Castle Rock Cave. John Blaine
and others exploring the cave say it
rivals Mammoth cave in Kentucky.
That may be putting it strong but
without a doubt the cave is natural
wonder. The plan is to install con-
tribution box near the cave and have
everybody visiting there or at the
snring kick in" Then the cave could
be blown open and arranged so the
nubIic could enter in comfort and
safety.
Around the county are numerous
fine springs. These could be made ac-
cessible. with walks, seats, etc. TraV-
elers all like to stop at big spring
and picnic. Hundreds of people visit
Klondike spring near Lancaster eY-
cry year.
Eventually, within five years, Grant
county will have a permanent hard
road system. When it becomes possible
for tourists to come in any kind OF
Weather the county could be properly
advertised through travellers bureaus
and the like.

BUTLER'S WET VIEW
ATTACKED BY ELIOT
Harvard Official Declares Com
plete Enforcement of Dry
Law Is in Sight.
SEES NO LIQUOR PLANK
Blames "Spoils System" for Lax
Administration.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 13.-Charles W.
Eliot, president emeritus Of Harvard
University, yesterday took issue with
recent declarations of Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, president of Columbia
University, to the effect that INrohibi-
were too drastic
DR.. Eliot asserted that complete
prohibition enforcement was in sight;
that DR.. Buffers statement would
neither dishearten the drys nor bring
reinforcements to the vets, and that
neither the Republican nor Demo
cratic party would dare, much less
be compelled, to spike a wet plank to
the presidential campaign platform.
DIR. Eliot,S views were Set forth in
a letter to Fred 3. Smith of New
York, chairman of the committee of
1000 for law enforcement. 1t was
the first response to a circular the
committee sent $50 college presidents
asking their views after DR.. Butler
recently appeared before the Missouri
Society as an advocate of the enact
ment of national prohibition laws
less drastic than the Nolstead act and
the eighteenth amendment.
Educators Oppose Alcohol
III ONCTN HclIllIIlS HldJOIlly VI lllC
teachers and educators of our coun-
try believe in bringing up all chill
dren not to use alcohol in any form
for the sake OF their own health and
OF the public health, and also believe
that the reasons for the abolition of
alcoholism should be taught in all
schools as part of the regular in
struction in personal and community
hygiene" DR.. Eliot said.
The testimony now being given by
manufacturers, physicians, nurses and
social workers as to the improvement
of the condition of the population at
large which has taken place since the
eighteenth amendment was adopted is
SO potent that it will soon convince
the great majority of the American
population. both native and foreign,
that the complete diSuSe of alcoholic
drinks viii result in enormous bene-
fits to any people that accompliShes it.
The prohibitory legislation is being
better and better enforced, and its
complete enforcement will follow
after a time upon the appointment
of enforcing officers on the merit sys-
tenn instead Of the 'spoilS' system"
Explaining his belief that neither
party will adopt a. wet plank. DR..
Eliot said: Even the wettest of the
politicians see the strong trend of
public opinion toward the enforce
ment of all the laws against the man
ufac acture and sale of alcoholic drinks"

JAPAN TURNS TO OIL.
Plans to Convert Some of Major
Warships.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
TOXIC, April 25.-The navy de-
partment has under consideration
plans for converting some at least
of its major warships into oil burn
ers. An official of the department
has stated that within the next two
years it will be necessary to refit
the boilers of the older battle cruis-
ers, the Kongo and Hiyei 27,500 tons
each, ships Japan is to retain under
the Washington naval treaty. 1t is
possible that the battle cruisers will
be made oil burners. AS other battle
ships reach the same age,-the Kongo
is twelve years old-they will under
go the same operation.
All Japanese capital ships are built
to burn either coal or oil, but Japan,
afraid to depend on her visible supply
of oil for times of emergency, has
not dared to put all her eggs into

DENTIST CLAIMS AMERICANS
 DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EAT

DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 26.-Unless the American people eat more whole grain breads, more vegetables cook ed to retain the lime salts, more next two or three generations will be a nation of weddings, so far as bone and teeth are concerned" Dr. C. B. Fowlkes of Birmingham, Ala, asserted in an address today at the American Dental Association convention.
 "In the matter of diet, the dental profession has an opportunity for doing a real service in outlining a diet that furnishes the necessary lime salts to build tooth and bone structure during the prenatal and pre-school period, as we'll as during childhood to the eighteenth year." Dr. c. E. Fowlkes said
 "One has only to look about him to see that the American people are not eating the right kind of breads, rice and sweets, to say nothing of properly prcportioned vegetable diet" the speaker declared. He stated that it is possible for any individual to reduce decay in his own mouth 75 per cent by proper home prophylaxis, and that proper mouth hygiene would reduce the percentage of contagious diseases in children, such as humps measles, scarlet fever, ett.

GOES MAY DRINK SODA POP, BY CPM!
 NAVY LIFTS BAN"

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 26.- Secretary Daniels famous pre-prohi- bition "bone dry navy" order is to be modified by Secretary Curtis D.. Wilbur, but only to an extent that will permit thirsty gobs to partake of soda pop aboard ship.
 MT. Daniels included bottled soda waters in his order against drinks on navy vessels, taking the view that ship storekeepers had not suf- ficient storage space at their dis posal to make the carrying of soft drinks practicable.
 Bottling concerns have been ex- erting pressure for a revision of the Daniels order, and after receiv- ing assurances from government ex- perts that the health of the navy would not be jeopardized by the change, Mr. Wilbur has decided to lift the soda water ban.
