TO
FINISH WORK AT
SESSION TODAY
Visiting Ministers and Dele
gates Compliment City
On Hospitality.

For the members of Madison Pres
bytery all roads led to Lancaster, and
the question the out-of-town ministers
asked was: where is the Presbyter-
ian church," When they arrived at
the church they found that the ladies
must have known that delegates to a
church conference are ready to eat,
and they heartily partook of the lunch
con served at noon. About thirty del
egates were present.
Promptly at 2 p. m. the moderator
Dr. Homer Noble, announced that the
time for the opening of Presbytery
had arrived After a short praise SER
vice, DR.. Huffer, pastor of the West
minister church, Madison, Rev. S. R.
Bingaman, pastor of the GAINESVILLE
church, Rev NJ G. Allison, the Uni
versity pastor, and Rev. r. Frank
Jones, gave devotional addresses.
During the afternoon the ladies were
busy in the kitchen making the neces-
sary preparations for the dinner which
they served at $50 to the delegates.
The local pastors were the invited
guests, and they seemed to enjoy the
good things as much as the out-of-
town guests.
The church bell at 1880 announced
that the time for the evening service
was at hand. The moderator presided
and several of the out-Of-town minis
tiers took part in the service. The Rev.
X F. Wettstone, D. D., president OF
the University of Dubuque, took as his
subject 1.-THE Psychology of Present
Day Thinking" The relation of
thought to action is discussed show
ing how sometimes the thought-life of
one man influences the actions of the
people and the race; tracing the caus-
es of incorrect thinking and action in
the life of America, 1.-The World
War; 2-The Newspaper; 3-The Nov
ing Picture; Popular Song; s.
Vaudeville Stage; 6-The Twentieth
Century Parent; Human Nature.
In closing some concrete suggestions
are made as to how the right kind of
action may be encouraged in the mas
ses, and challenging thinkers to think
thoughts that are true, pure, honor
able and just.
Wednesday morning was given over
to the routine business of Presbvtory
and at noon the ladies of the Hurri-
cane Presbyterian church served at a
dinner, after which the delegates de-
parted for home.

GRANT COUNTY
WINS RIBBONS.
AT STATEFAIR
Educational Exhibit First
In Field of Is Entries
At Milwaukee.

Grant county took all the blue rib
bons for group school displays at the
state fair last week in Milwaukee, and
more than it's share on individual
school exhibits To be more specific,
out of 25 entries made by counties,
Grant took first place; out of a dozen
booths, put up by as many rural
schools, Farview, presided over by
Miss Olga NJ Hodoval, took first prem
ium For individual displays en-
braced in the two groups mentioned,
Grant county kiddies got 81 premiums
of which II were firsts.
Great Variety Important
Accustomed as Grant is to taking
everything in sight at the state fair,
this comes with especial relish. The
points of superiority in the county
school display were variety of exhibit,
number of subjects covered in the ex-
hibit, excellence of individual items.
In the individual school display, Miss
Hodoval's school had the greatest var
iety of useful and practical subjects
covered, and the largest number of
original pieces displayed and the best
place is a great honor for the school,
and for the teacher, Miss Hodoval, but
that does not quite tell the story.
Much of the work comprised in the
display was of such original design
and excellence in execution as to make
the ensemble noteworthy. It attracted
much attention and favorable COM
ment.
Mrs. Chapman In Charge
Mrs. Chapman, of the county super
intendent's office, had charge of ar
ranging the county's booth; the Sc
lection was made in the superinten-
dents office, the two supervising
teachers, Mrs. Cora Arson and Miss
Carolyn Peterson, assisting the regu-
lar force Miss Hodoval gathered the
material for her school display. Far
view is sometimes known as the Kerr
school, but it is not Hurricane, as it
is sometimes mistaken for. There are
10 pupils, all workers, in the school.
Miss Hodoval is teaching the same
school this year.

An Embryo Merchant
Starts In Business for Self

An instance of the enterprise of one
boy in this city that is commendable
in view of the idle diversions of life
that beguile the youth of this jazz age,
which will prove valuable experience
to him if he sticks at the wheel, is
noted at the home of Mrs. Bertha
Walker. where her son, Herbert, has
established a "Coney Island" dispen-
sary.
The Herald congratulates the young
man and hopes that he may develop

BLEW EMPTY SAFE

Yeggs got one on themselves at
Stoddard, near Viroqua, the other
night, when they blew an old safe in
the Stoddard State bank. using gall
lon of nitroglycerine and breaking
half the windows in town. There was
not a penny of loot, for the safe had
not been used in years. and evidently
was kept as a sort of decoy-a stalk
ing horse. And it served its purpose.
