Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1925-04-01


If Grant county gets good crop
this year we will soon forget we ever
had hard times.
DR.. Willy Hellpach is one of the
candidates for president of Germany.
One vote for DR.. Willy.
The Importance of good morals is
stressed continually. Why not have a
campaign on good sense?
The spring election promises to be
quiet Quite a contrast to the 1924
election. However, once is plenty.
Germany lost the war and is hemmed
in but hasn't lost her fecundity. A wo-
man there recently gave birth to her
9th child.
The old fogy is denounced but he
has his good points. He is satisfied
with old practices which have worked
we'll and opposes new things which
are annoying and wrong. Did you ever
know an old fogy who was thief or
a loafer? His specialties are thrift
and horse sense.
One man runs away with a woman,
is traced and comes home to go ahead
about the same as ever. Another man
runs in a different direction and is
brought back in irons to face trial.
"'L'Homme, Enchaine." Moral: Go
any direction but west.
The Herald has stated its views on
Sunday evening use of the Grant
land and now the clergymen have
stated theirs. OF course they always
stood for Sunday Chautauquas on the
grounds, perhaps, that Swiss Bell
Ringers were uplifting, but let that
pass. Let's hear from the others. Sure
ly there are more than few in Lam
caster not afraid to voice view.
The good old, graft used to be to
slip in and sell the farmer lightning
rod Which fact and not prevalence of
of thunder bolts, accounts for the
large number of rodded farm houses.
Nowadays the travelling salesman sells
a radio on easy payments. A man who
employed a doctor to set broken leg
is foolish with his money when so
many are ready to pull his leg for
nothing.

Needed few Curbs and Cutters.


A sensible and not too expensive i'm
provement in Lancaster would be the
installation of cement curbs and gut
ters. If the city is unable to do this
the property owners should be willing
to do so at their own expense for the
better appearance of it and the added
value to the property.
And while on the curb and gutter
subject, we believe Grant county
should be asked to install a suitable
curb and gutter in front of it's 100
feet of Jail property, facing the square.
An unsightly mud-hole and dirt catch
er would be done away with.
The Herald believes the county
chairman and county clerk would au-
thorize such an improvement if re-
quested to do so. The cost would be
slight-the improvement great. And
without a doubt the county board
would recognize that such an improve
ment to the county's property was
thoroughly justified.

MYSTERY HOLDS
ON DISAPPEARANCE
nrnvIAlo 0lnI

Augusta authorities are seeking W.
M. Euffey and j. M. Talluts, both
supposedly of Portland, in connec-
ton with the disappearance of Cora
Perkins, pretty 15-year-old Cony
High school student, who complete
ly dropped from sight a week ago
Friday during school sessions.
Euffey and Talluts, the police be-
lieve, are the two men to be last
seen talking to the girl at 2 o'clock
last Saturday afternoon in front of
the Johnson House in Gardiner
where they had registered as being
from Portland.
The assistance of the Portland
police was called to locate the men,
but word was received that no such
persons resided in the Forest City.
Officers believe that both had regis
tered under fictitious names at the
Gardiner hosiery.
Investigation of the girls disap-
pearance has so far proved fruitless,
officials admitted yesterday, but from
statements made by the missing
girls friends it is now fully believed
that her going was unquestionably
premeditated.
She was a former State ward, It
was also learned yesterday. and is
the adopted daughter of Ora E.
Perkins of the Townsend Road.
North Augusta. At least once before
her present disappearance the girl
has run away, and at that time was
picked UP in Portland.

SECRET SERVICE
THEME IN CARLETON
PLAY This WEEK

Another good audience at City
Hall, Friday evening was highly en-
tertained by the Carleton Players,
offering this week, which was the
three-act drama of the Secret Ser
vice, 1.-THE Woman in the House"
which the strong cast presented
most ably. The play carries many
thrills and the dramatic intensity of
the piece is sustained throughout.
There Is also theme of patriotism
running through the action which
has its own appeal to the audience.
The popular Juvenile actor
Charles Mcdonald portrays Max
Ivanoff, a boy of American parent
age who has had the spirit of rad
icalism instilled in him by his step
father, Osip Ivanoff, the part of this
follower of the red flag being por-
trayed by Arthur Hebert,- and it is
one that calls for dramatic fervor
which he supplies in splendid
manner. Marjorie, a supposed SER
vat. whose real mission soon be-
comes evident, is Miss Peggy Smith,
who is at her. best in this extremely
difficult role. Vivian Mayo takes
the part of Edna Orland, the demo-
cratic lady of the house, while her
lover, an English doctor, is Richard
Lloyd, who injects plenty of humor
into the piece with his usual style.
Jack Kearney, as seen as Captain
Frank Orland of the revenue SER
vice, while the part of Julia Man
ming, a fanatic for the red cause,
is filled by Miss Sara Kyles. Miss
Kyles has an unusually difficult part
but succeeds in her Interpretation
of it to a marked degree. The part
of. another secret service man who
poses as a sailor is taken by Henry
NJ. Ross, who completes the cast.
The action revolves around the eff
forts of the reds to commit their
bomb atrocities in America, and the
manner in which their plot is fras-
trutade is the basis for such play
that keeps the audience guessing
throughout. The ending is ever in
doubt, as it should be in all good
plays, and the large audience that
attended its presentation last night
manifested its approval by hearty
applause at the dramatic moments.
1.-The Woman in the House" will be
tonight.
