A SUDDEN ENDING
Pet Dog at POstOffice Dies Beneath a
Telephone Truck.-A FavOrite.

Bologna, a stray dog kept by the
postoffice force since last December,
met death early Thursday morning
when struck by a huge telephone
truck and run over Bologna" was
running after motorcycle and gaily
barking at it, failing to see the jugger-
naut which caused his doom. He was
run. over the head and instantly killed.
Tenderly and with regret the postal
men fashioned a rough box and de-
posted Bologna's remains therein.
They then turned the box over to Karl
Kress, carrier on route one, who took
to the country and dug Bologna's
grave. Not every dog has funeral
like that. Bologna, "just dog" came
to the postoffice last winter, an I'M
kempt and forlorn little stray. The
kindly force in the postoffice gave b.
logna home, allowed him to sleep in
the cellar and took turns feeding him.
When license time arrived Bologna
blossomed out with a license, his name
on tag, n everything. The office
force, carriers and all, grew greatly
attached to the little fellow and deep
ly regret his untimely demise.

Collaborating Epidemiologist and
State Health Officer.
DIR. FOwler'S Endorsement

/ heartily concur in every statement
made in the above letter. There is no
longer any shadow of doubt that a
successful vaccination WILL PRO
TECT against smallpox for period of
five to seven years and in some cases,
for life.
In these days of rapid transit and
general REORGANIZATION between
all sections of the country, virulent
smallpox, now prevalent in Milwaukee,
may be brought to Lancaster tomor-
row. In that event every un-vaccina-
ted person becomes menace, not only
to himself, but to the entire commun-
ity.
If you have never been vaccinated
or have children who have never been
vaccinated, I would strongly urge that
you have it done at once. If you have
been vaccinated many years ago, have
it done again. If you are still pro-
tected by your old vaccination, it will
not take" and no harm will be done,
while, if it does take" you were not
protected and would have acquired
smallpox if exposed

MALIGNANT SMALLPOX

Madison, Wis, May %, 1925.
To the Honorable Mayor,
Lancaster, Wis.
Dear Sir:
A malignant type of smallpox is ep-
idemic in the city of Milwaukee. There
have been over forty-nine deaths from
this disease in the city. The mortality
runs at about $50. The citizens of
the state generally are all endangered.
Malignant cases may start epidemic
outside of Milwaukee at any time. Ev-
cry city of the state should be con-
cerned with the seriousness of the sit
uation.
Vaccinations done ten, twenty, thir-
ty, forty or fifty years ago do not
make the individuals proof against
this malignant type of smallpox In
dividualS who have been successfully
vaccinated within the last five to seven
years are very rarely attacked with
this disease and we believe no deaths
have occurred from malignant small
pox in such individuals.
We are directing your attention to
the situation in order that you may
forestall, if possible, an epidemic OF
malignant smallpox in your city. We
are confident that complete vaccina-
ton is the only scientific and safe way
of preventing and controlling small
pox. We are asking that you bring
this matter before your people and ii
possible make arrangements for gen.
eral vaccination of your citizens. The
quicker this is done, the fewer lives
will be lost 1t will be found economy.
An epidemic of this malignant type of
smallpox requires drastic measures
for it's control. Smallpox can be pre-
vented entirely by universal vaccina-
ton.
We trust that you will Immediately
bring every agency into action so as to
safeguard your citizens against an
epidemic similar to the type now in
Milwaukee.
merely Yours,
G.. A. HARPER,
Collaborating Epidemiologist and

PLANTING STREAMS
Darlington Ikes Put Trout into Carp
Infested Waters.

Five cans of trout fry were received
at Darlington last week and taken at
once to small streams in the vicinity
for planting. A number of local nim-
rods have been catching some fine
trout this spring and considerable en-
thusiasm has been created among the
fishermen. True craftsmanship and
the regular planting of various kinds
of fish will make good fishing for ev-
erybody. 1t is lack of both that has
caused the scarcity of everything but
carp in southern Wisconsin streams
and rivers.-Republican

ANIMAL CLUB MEETING

Again the WOmanS CLUB OF LancaS-

Schreiner's invitation to her home, on
Saturday afternoon, May 23rd, and by
her presentation of a scholarly paper,
the result of a years research, and
of correspondence with authors and
educators of worldwide renown, both
in America and Europe.
No confinement from physical disa-
bility his ever been allowed to inter-
fere with the freedom and diligence of
Mrs. Schriner's mental efforts; the re-
suits of which, and the effort as well,
are always an inspiration to us all.
1.-THE Book of Job" was the subject
of the paper; a discovery, sympathetic
study of the patriarch of old, known
to the Sunday school scholar as an
example of fortitude, to the student
of literature because of the magnlh-
cent cadence in WHICH his story is
told, and to tn humble, earnest Chris
tian because of his triumphant faith,
eliminating in the inspired declara-
ton:
81 know that my Redeemer liveth."
Appropriate music was rendered be-
fore and during the reading, two vocal
solos by Mrs. Bishop of Platteville, a
violin solo by David Williams. Mrs.
Schreiner's nephew, also of Platteville,
two songs by Mrs. McNelly, and a trio
by Mrs. McNelly, Mrs. Carl Walker
and Mrs Louis Fischer.
Other guests were Mrs. Williams,
Mrs. Gray and Mrs. Gribble of Platte
vile, the latter being Mrs. Schreiner's
sister, and Mrs Schaler of Sparta, also
sister.
The Woman's club and other invited
guests unite in thanking Mrs. Schreln-
err for her gracious hospitality and her
kindness in sharing with us the fruits
of her untiring study.-A Member.

FINE IMPROVEMENT
Wieland Home at Hurricane Shows
What Can Be Done.

The Chas. Wieland home on the farm
known as the "old Petty place, just
north of Hurricane corners, SHOWS
what can be done toward beautifying
farm houses and making life in the
country as pleasant and attractive as
it is in the city.
Charlie has a fine macadam road to
Lancaster, his market point, six miles
away. He can skip in town in 10 or
twenty minutes. On his place he has
every advantage a town man has and
then some.
The house has been rebuilt and re-
modelled since the fire few years ago.
Taking a large and ordinary farm
house Mr.. and Mrs. Wieland have ad-
ded hardwood floors, French Siding
doors, modern furnace, bath room, DIG
open front porch, sun porch on the
east etc. The downstairs rooms are
beautifully finished and painted. Up
stairs the rooms are equally pleasant
and airy.
Mr.. Wielands farm is completely
electrified. using the Delco system for
the house and farm buildings. Inc
house drainage is cared for by means
of a modern septic tank system. Ihe
lawn is graded for blue grass and the
place presents a very tidy and attrac-
tive appearance.
In addition to other improvements
Charley has planted long double row
of Norway spruces which at some fu-
ture date will give him wonderful
windbreak and pine grove. These
snrIIces extend west by 200 feet ana
south by about the same distance, TO
in time completely shelter the place,
The farm consists of around ZoV
acres of nearly level but well drained
prairie, nearly all under cultivation.
All in all it is one of the neatest look
ing and best farms around Lancaster
