Counting the Cost.

Grantland community center cost
the people of Lancaster $100,000.00
Plus equipment $130000.00. Plus in
terest close to $200,0O0.OO 1t costs at
conservative estimates $4,000 a year to
operate. In other words in twenty
years we will have paid out around
$3.50 10000 or $13,000.00 year for our
city hall and auditorium. At our valu-
alton this would mean about 4 mills
on the dollar tax. This is the debit
side. What are we taxpayers going
to do about the credit side? Admitting
that the municipal plant is a good
thing why shouldn't it be made to pay
at least part of its way? The tax
payers who expect to stay here and
foot the bills should give this seri-
Gus consideration Public business is
the business of every man who pays
taxes.

Milliner Finds Nest-Egg
In WOman's Head Gear

Miss Margaret Peacock, milliner at
HenkePs, since her experience last
week can vouch for the fact that the
stocking is not alone used as a de-
pository by the women of today. While
remodeling a hat, and in removing the
llnglng, $40 bill fell out of the
crown, much to her surprise, and up
on closer inspection, another one was
securely fastened to the hat. Twenty
dollars had been placed there, and en-
tlrely forgotten by its owner.
Needless to say, the money was
promptly returned to the owned who
was as much surprised as Miss Pea
cock had been when she found the
money.
Hats sent in for trimming will prob
ably be given thorough inspection in
the future.

ELECTION FORECAST

AS the Herald goes to press at two
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, voting is
light all over the county. Nowhere
near the vote will be cast that was
polled in the presidential election last
fall.
Main interest centers around the
county judgeship. Local political
sharps refuse to forecast precise re-
suit although they admit it is some
horse race"
S. H. Taylor is strong in the central
and northern townships, having the
endorsement of the w. C. T. U. and
other dry elements. His best vote will
be from Lancaster and vicinity, in
Guiding the adjacent precincts, and
the dry townships stretching like a
ribbon across north central Grant.
w. j. Brennan and Geo. B. Glenn
entson will divide strength in the
southern part of the county where Mr..
Taylor is admittedly not strong. The
city of Platteville is claimed by both
Brennan and ClementsOn adherents
and the Taylor men are making no
claims to strength in that territory.
Platteville city casts about an eighth
of the county vote and for that reason
is regarded as decisive territory. In
fact "as goes Platteville. so goes the
county" as a rule.
Mr.. Brennan will run strong in the
towns and cities and has the Legion
endorsement The sharps divide the
contest between him and Taylor, but
the ClementsOn name has always been
a strong vote getter all over the coun-
ty and those who have George poor
II. oil n
votes are in.
The Herald refuses to forecast re-
suit or preference. One thing is GER
tain-it will be a Lancaster man.
Locally the fight centers around a
couple of aldermanic posts and super
visorships. DR.. Fowler and Harvey
Abrams are opposed for alderman in
the first. Harvey, retired farmer
capitalist, is a heavy weight both fig
uratively and mentally. The doughty
little doctor makes up in gameness
what he lacks in size. A close con-
test is looked for. In the second
ward C. NJ. DuHamel for alderman and
Lee Eastman for supervisor are I'M
opposed "Du" is a hustling and pro-
gressive young business man of cal
iber and will be a strong addition to
the city government. Lee is an old
war horse of many battles and his OPP
ponents must have concluded he is
unbeatable. In any event he is not
opposed this year
r. C. Willis has no opposition for
supervisor in the third. Oscar Brady
and W. l.. Gelbach oppose for alder
man. In the fourth, G. NJ Calvert and
Ellie Dobson are opposed for super
visor and Frank Ward and j. c. Yes
perman for alderman. In the city at
large c.. w. Burrows is opposed for
Justice of the peace by W. A. Johnson.
None of the contests have Deen bitter
or particularly active.
The Herald is unable to hold over
and publish election returns due to the
speeding up of the outbound mails.
The first north mail leaves Lancaster
at $50 a. m. The rural routes go out
of here at $3.50 and the south bound for
Potosi and river points leaves an hour
later. To get fragmentary returns
would mean an all night job with no
assurance of certainty on the judge
ship Full reports next issue.

Coordination of
Civic Expenditures.

The Herald believes the mayor or
some responsible member of the city
council should have place on the
school board Not to nose in but to CO.
ordinate the two branches of local
civic activity so that the taxpayer who
foots both bills would have a sound
policy of protection This is no reflec-
ton on either the school or the city.
But what good would it do to inaug-
urate savings on one side where half
the money is spent, allowing the other
wing to go ahead on an entirely diff
ferent policy?

THE WEEKS WEATHER

FORECAST-Rain is freely predic-
ted but seems slow in coming 1t
awaits a change in the weather and a
warm, south wind. Spring is far ad-
vanced and subject to changes which
may bring snow and cold weather.
1t is a good two weeks too early to
forecast warm spring days.

Does Death Trail
PrnSneritY'S Wake ?

Prof. VIM. F. Ogburn, Professor of
Sociology at Columbia University,
New York, has made a study of the
effect of prosperity on death and
crime rates. His conclusion is that
death rates are lower in times of de-
preston and that crimes of greed and
violence decrease in number during
hard times He finds that when a
country is famine stricken it is health
lest and that in hard times infants do
better because they are breast-fed in
stead of bottle-fed.
Taking Germany as an illustration
the scientist finds that high living and
prosperity before the war went hand
in hand with high blood pressure, kid
ney disease and obesity These things
caused the death rate to rise. In the
lean war times the over-fat German
and his wife thinned up. They gained
in color and looks and the health of
the whole country was and is better
Reformers who worry over divorce
have more cause for worry. Marital
troubles, infidelity. adultery and other
social offenses rising out of the sex
problems of life increase as prosperity
and flesh-pots increase. Adversely. on
the other hand. purifies the marriage
relation Poverty brings the husband
and wife together in sympathy and
love.
Even poverty, it seems, has its re-
wards.

The Tennessee legislature has re-

Tire God OF Size.

Among other false gods infesting
present day society is the god of Big
ness. We worship size. Big buildings,
big ships, big stores, big business, big
finance, big motor cars, big everything
except big souls. The present day is
the abyssmal night of the spiritual and
the result is reflected in all sorts
of weird and astounding crimes.

A ~Dry" Bible.

Fervid emasculators of the Bible

Bible which substitutes raisins for

wedding feast at Cana Ca stumbling
block to radical drys) is changed to
leave the incident out entirely. Com
ment is unnecessary.

Raises Rough House;
Held by Authorities

Lorenz S. Reincke, manager of the
Meuser Lbr. Co. at Independence, Ia,
was placed under arrest by authorities
there yesterday morning upon request
of Sheriff Livingston.
1t is alleged that Reinecke and a
pal named Ray Kayser went to the
James Sprague home in Bloomington
Monday evening and proceeded to
raise rough house. The story is that
Mrs Reinecke came home two weeks
ago against her husbands wishes and
to remain.
Sheriff Livingston says a window
pane was broken in the house due to
someone being showed through it, ac-
cording to Bloomington people.
Mr. Sprague was closeted with the

Freedom Of Sneech.

Our whole theory of freedom of

that everybody is wrong on some point
on which somebody else is right, so
that there is a public danger in allow
ing anybody to go unheard. Der

BlaSphemy.

A preacher blasphemes the deity at

hurt the ministry more than a thous-
and good sermons can make up for.

New Industry Under
Way at Platteville

EVILLE-PlatteVill has an
other new industry, that of the Tracy
Products and Produce company. The
new company is located in the old doll
factory, where they have placed in
cubators to produce baby chicks. There
are three compartments and each COM
partment holds $500 eggs. One COM
partment is filled each week. The first
hatch will be off April 8. Each of the
three compartments of the incubator
is heated by stoves in which coal and
coke are used as fuel. These stoves
are regulated automatically so that
the temperature varies but a few de-
grees. The decks are all turned daily
with lever. The Tracy company have
all breeds of chickens so that any kind
of bird may be secured that one de-
sires.
Friends of Hubert Hartmann are
gratified to hear of his promotion to
the office of cashier of the Aetna State
bank at Oelwein, Ia. Hubert is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Hartmann
of this city and for some time was en-

position of cashier had been vacated
at Oelwein since the removal of Fred
Halberg to Cedar Rapids.
Jack Burris has three boys, all ro-
bust lads and full of imitation. They
started a fire department of their own
