HUBER LAW
BOYS HAVING
1T TOO SOFT
Sheriff Rounds Up PAROLES
Who Take Life Too Easy.
-ViOlatOrs i'm Jail.

Sheriff Harry Livingston has been
rounding up parties out on parole.
under the Huber law, checking their
activities to see if they are complying
with the law. The parole features of
the law seem to be a joke as some Of
the men have been running at large
doing as they pleased without super
vision. One mans guardian LAS been
out of the state month and the par
olee was imbibing freely. He was
locked up. Another man was paroled
to his niece but as far as anybody
knows has been conducting himself
straight. Another man was paroled to
a brother. No charges have been made
against him. One man, paroled last
lall, was up north on deer hunt in
December, according to reports. The
county authorities will take rigorous
action in enforcement of the law as
it is now realized that continued lax
it's and mildness is making a joke of
the law in general.

GUN FIRE IN
CITY EARLY
W EDN ESDAY
Officer OlesOn Shoots and
Mike MONTE Makes Fast
Tracks for Country.

Five pistol shots in rapid succession
early Wednesday morning disturbed
the quiet of the night around the pub
lie square. Officer Ed Oleson was
shooting to brighten Mike MONTE who
was making big tracks for the Little
Grant tall timber. 1t seems that Mike
was being watched for violation of
parole in connection with convic-
ton for car theft obtained last fall
He was paroled to a brother-in-law,
Chas. Brewer, who left town a month
ago for Chicago. Officer Oleson met
Mike near the Methodist church about
one a. M, Wednesday and accosted
him. Mike generously offered the po-
liceman drink. Oleson grabbed the
bottle and informed Mike he was I'M
der arrest. All went well until the
court house was reached. There Mike
began to resist and scuffle and finally
broke away when the copied pulled
his gun. Mike ran down past the Ack-
erman Oil Co. station and disappeared
in the early morning shadows to the
rafting symphony of Blossoms gat. The
next morning Mike showed up at the
Hayden sale in Little Grant. He was
brought back to Lancaster to serve
the balance of his sentence, amount
ing to five months, and will remain in
the county Jail unless the new ar
rangement with the Milwaukee county
authorities lands him in the, work
house there. =

WATER LEAKS
COST MONEY
City Clerk Submits Figures
on Waste to Users.

Users of city water must not be
surprised to note that their rates are
higher than in times past as the city
officials. have placed the water de-
partment on a self-supporting basis,
instead of appropriating from the gem
eral fund to make up water deficits
as in years gone by. Practically the
entire; city is. metered and the balance
should be. Small leaks of water arc
the cause of incredible losses, F. p.
Barnett, city clerk says. For in
stance, a meter company's figures
show that a. leak the size of a pin
head wastes. 10 gallons a day at so
pounds pressure. A leak about twice
the size of two pinheads wastes $40
gallons of water a day. "A. leak about
a sixth of an inch. in diameter wastes
the incredible total of $500 gallons
of water a day, according to the
table. The. Lancaster pressure is 40
pounds to the inch, or four-fifths of
the pressure used in the table. At
4Oc per thousand gallons one can
readily see the expense of a small
leak. Mr.. Barnett's caution is this
Beware of small leaks-they register
on the meter and cost money"

Monster Elm Marketed
At Wauzeka Factory

WAUZEKA-An elm of unusual
size has just been hauled to the box
factory yard 1t is about four feet in
diameter and is ten feet long, per-
fectly sound. 1t was full load for
one team up the Wisconsin river on
the best going in the world-the ice
route.
The box factory has lately bought a
tract of fine timber from Marflius ly-
ing along the river about six miles
west of the village and some seven
teen teams are now at work hauling
the logs and bolts from there. A big
crew of men have been at work cut
ting, and the exceptional good wealth
er for hauling on the ice has made
operations easy. Some $4,000 feet of
lumber will be gotten off this one
tract.
Last years cut by the factory was
far and away ahead of any previous
year in it's history, but SO far this
year there are some three hundred
cords piled up at the factory in ex-
cess of the peak of last year. And if
the weather holds good for logging
there will be still more piled up

4 WHITE WAY"
FOR LANCASTER
NOW DISCUSSED
Interstate Power Co. Would
Install at No Cost to City.
Good Improvement.

Ernest Wisco, DEBORAH, represent
ing the Interstate Power Co., was in
Lancaster on business Friday. Mr..
Wisco stated that he had been allotted
$4,000 at a recent official conference
for plant improvements and rehabili-
tation in Lancaster contingent, how
ever, on the acceptance of a white
Way" lighting plan in the heart of the
city. The plan would cost the COM
pany $11 900. $4,000 would be spent
in removing poles from the business
streets to the alleys. The balance
would be spent elsewhere in the city.
The Power Co. proposes to remove
the poles from the main streets and
install 81 White Way posts, extending
from Ryland Park to the Baptist
church on Madison street, from the
Schade sanitarium to the Wright
House on Maple street, from the
Wright House to ST. Clements church
on Washington street, from st. Glenn
ents church to the Methodist church
on Cherry street, and from the post
office to the Monitor garage on JEFF
ferson street, each one of these posts
to be equipped with $50 candle pow
er lamp. This system will be pur-
chased and installed by the Power
Co. and the only expense to the city
will be the additional cost of lighting
which would be about $4,000 per
month.
Mr.. Wisco points out that a recent
white Way" plan of about SO lights
cost the city of Platteville $11 900. The
cost per post per annum there is
$3.50
Mr.. Wisco submits that the new
lighting plan as worked out by him
would be an immense Improvement to
the appearance of Lancaster. The Her
aid would amend the suggestion by
saying that further improvement
would consist of removing the inside
sidewalk around the square, making
the street wider and affording more
space for parking cars. The inside
walk takes. up about five feet of space
in narrow street is is rarely used.
The two improvements should go
hand in hand,

New School a
Community Asset.

The opening of a new school in
Lancaster as an event of note in the
near future. brings to mind how big
an asset modern and well conducted
school is to a small town. .g1
hin the writer's mind good school
is about the only chance small
town has to gain in population and
wealth A good school brings new pu-
pills and frequently new families. New
families mean more names on the tax
roll and more consumers. of what the
business men have to sell. 1t means
more people to carry the tax burden
and a smaller proportion of taxes
for everybody.
These are material arguments
brought forth in reply to material ar
guments against an Improvement of
this nature. There are arguments
from an educational standpoint also.
Good schools mean better educational
facilities and higher standard of
citizenship.
At present we have around ESQ pu-
pills in high school. Our new building
will care for nearly twice that num-
Der. Let's fill it UP.

New Race Not to
Be InteIIectuaIS.

Sir Arthur Keith, British savant,
sets forth theory that as humanity
progresses in the future it will lean
toward healthy animalism rather than
super-intellect. And he holds this
forecast as good. Intellectual types
have tendency to grow sterile and
die out whereas animal types are vi
tai and fecund. The intellectual type
loses it's interest in the primal i'm
pulse-the will to live. 1t is the ami
NAL instinct that has kept the genus
home on the face Of the earth.
The happiest people are the simp-
lest. High intelligence causes it's
owner more than pleasure because it
makes him feel his failures and short
comings too keenly. AS man becomes
more civilized he loses his animal in
tuition which is a part of the earth
from which he springs. These are Sir
Arthur's conclusions.

Winters Back
is Broken.


The Herald will timidly venture a
prediction that the back of Old Man
Winter is broken and that if severe
weather comes between now and
spring will be of short duration.
Consulting authorities. we find that
an old Indian declares our cold wealth
er will be over by the first of Feb
ruary. He makes his prediction on the
movement of birds. Then comes a
horseman up in Michigan who says
theer will be little cold weather after
the next ten days. He bases his OBJ
servation on the shedding of horses
hair which was unusually early this
wear. We have these prophets with us
every winter.
Our own observation is that as the
days grow longer and the sun gets
closer to our latitude the probability
of extreme cold weather gets less and
less. We have noticed that cold snaps
in this region nit most frequently be-
tween Dec. 1 and Feb. 1, with occa-
sional cold spells on either side OF
the dates named but not of long dura-
ton.
From now until the robins appear
is about six weeks. Everybody happy!
Well 1 should say!
