Mrs. Bottoms Letter


Ridgely, Nd. want TO tell you
how much good your Vegetable Com
pound has done my daughter. Be-
fore she started taking your medi-
cine she was in a nervous, rundown
condition, so that she could hardly
sleep at night. She always had pain
In her side and sometimes cramps 50
that she would have TO go to bed.
She is a schoolgirl and was going to
school only half the time because she
was so weak and rundown she could
not stand il to walk there some DAYS.
She was this way for three or four
years. She had been reading your
advertisements In the different news
papers and she noticed that some of
the girls and women had suffered lust
as she had. So she took Lydia z.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
is lot better. With the first bottle
everybody could see a big change.
She can go 70 school every day and
can eat just as much as any one else,
when before she did not have any
appetite. We have told others about
the medicine, and We are perfectly
willing for you TO use these facts as
0 testimonial. We are also willing to
answer letters from other women
concerning the help my daughter has
received from the Vegetable Com
pound. " - Mrs. JOSEPH EETTOE,

Louis Alt Talks of
Hours in a Days Work

Louis Alt says he is rs years old,
and we must take his word for it
his word has been good in Lancaster
since 1856 when he first landed here
from Hesse Darmstadt. For nine
years, when first in Lancaster, he
kept a market for others, and worked
from in the morning until 10 at
night. Then he went into business for
himself, and while he did not keep
open shop as many hours, he found
that the boss of big business had
little time for himself When he sold
out, after A years on the floor, he
was lost for a time, but found sur
cease in gardening. Now he mows the
lawn, hoes in the garden and visits
with his friends.
Mr.. Alt is due to make one more
trip to the old country, but while he
appreciates the rejuvinating influence
of the ocean voyage, he thinks he will
not take it next year. He has been
over each 20-year period, but will skip
it this time. Nearly all his family in
Hesse are gone.

Two Big Road Contracts
Let by District No. 8

A week ago last Wednesday such a
prosperous looking bunch of men was
in front of the HERALD office that
we thought a road contract must be
brewing. Investigation disclosed that
two jobs were let on that day, one for
a nine-mile stretch, between BoaZ and
Sylvan, route Al, in Richland county;
the other for steel bridge over the
Kickapoo river at Wauzeka.
The first mentioned job includes a
70-foot steel bridge, and 30-foot con-
crete structure, besides the moving of
a vast amount of earth and shale. This
contract was let at $50 ,221.82 to the
LANCE Construction Co., Minneapolis.
The successful bid was $1,000 under
the one next it, and there were five
bids opened The Kickapoo bridge
went at $4,000 to the Minneapolis
Bridge Co., which was $4,000 less than
the next higher. There were seven
bids on this job. Both are federal
contracts.

Local Boy In Navy; Has
Visited Many Countries

Probably it was the Yankee lust
for world adventure that called Alvin
Belskamper into the navy, when there
was no war in sight. Anyway, he
joined four years ago. For time he
was in the training school of the de-
partment at Portsmouth, Virginia.
While there he did little stdying of
nautical subjects-he did not so much
care who got them.
Bacteriology was his course, far re-
moved from the sea, and for more
than a year he gave to this subject
diligently of his time and endeavor.
Then he had to go to sea, for was he
not in the navy? While on the wave
he sailed to Central America, looked it
over, went through the canal, then to
Honolulu, on to Guam and then to the
eastern coast of China, down to the
Philippines and back to good old U. S.
A. He also was in cruises up and
down our Atlantic coast and over the
West Indies.
These voyages were made in the
transport ship, Argonne, one of the
good vessels of the American navy. 1t
was not a pleasure trip entirely, like
a tour of Ireland, such as Dick Sween-
ey has just completed, Tor the Argonne
carried sailors to the Orient to go on
to the war vessels of this country in
eastern waters. But Alvin had all
the thrills that could be gathered IN
such a worldwide adventure. These
cruises covered a period of year and
nine months, but he is glad they are
over. He was released, time of en-
listment out, at Mare sland, San Fran
cisco bay, last June.
Now Alvin is going to Milwaukee
and Chicago, looking for job, not as
naval expert, but as bacteriologist.
If he ever gets after any of those fell
lows who feed typhoid germs to boys
they would best watch out, for AL
vim Belskamper, late of Lancaster,
knows ali about germs, and bugs and
tiny worms.

tor LaFollette not only predicted the
orgy of graft and profteering that
would take place during the war, but
the period of inf1atiCu and ruinous de-
fation that would take place if the
war was paid by selling billions of
bonds. He demanded that we pay for
the war by taxing war profiteers, large
incomes and great fortunes, so that
there would be no great burden of
public debt to be paid by this genera
ton and those that are to come. Week
after week. month after month he
fought for such a system of taxation
He attacked the war profteers and the
war grafters and demanded that they
be taxed to the limit.
But he was not successful. For
tunes beyond the imagination of man
were heaped up during the war and
colossal public debt was piled up on
the backs of the American people.
81 demand that this war debt shall
be paid by taxing those great for
tunes which were either founded up
on or increased by the war"

GRANT co. TO BE REPRESENTED
AT STATE FAIR BY TWO TEAMS
by J. B. Keenan,, County Agent.)

(By ]. B. Keenan,, County Agent)
Due to the fact that we have a live
club and community organization at
North Andover, Grant county will this
year have two demonstration teams at
the Wisconsin state fair to compete
with other such demonstration teams
from over the state: The members of
these teams and the leaders are en-
titled to much credit for their efforts
in getting prepared for this work. One
of the teams will be a canning team
composed of Marion Metcalf and Alice
Kuenster working under the leader
ship of Mrs. Chas. Metcalf of Glen
Haven. The other team will be bak-
ing team composed of Nellie Meyers
and Helen Metcalf and their captain
and leader is Miss Anna Forck.
We wish that more communities and
people would interest teams in such
endeavors, both from the standpoint
of maintaining the laurels of Grant
county and from the educational val
ue which the members of these teams
are sure to get by going in competi-
tion with like clubs from over the
state.
The amount of effort that the mem
bers of these two teams and their
captains are putting forth will surely
bring results. No matter what place
they receive in their efforts, this Of
flee feels that Grant county should
feel justly proud of the efforts they
will make and we trust that other or
CARNATIONS, high schools and commun-
ity clubs will take for example the eff
forts of the North Andover club in
trying to maintain the just laurels for
Grant county.
Last Ca, load OF PyrOtOl
AS we have stated before we will
have carload of Pyrotol, the war sal
vaged explosive, which sells for $3.50
! per hundred delivered at Lancaster,
some time this fall. This carload con-
sists of $4,000 pounds and all but 1000
pounds of this amount has been spok-
en- and paid for, therefore we would
suggest that anyone wishing to Sc
cure explosive for fall or spring work
should get their orders to this office
immediately There is question
whether we will be able to secure an
other car next spring or not and
whether we have sufficient orders to
warrant the making up of car at
that time.
If anyone has any doubts as to the
ability of this war salvaged explosive
to do the work equivalent to 1920
dynamite, we would suggest that you
get in touch with some of those over
the county who have UJed some of
this material in the past. This will
make the fourt,l carload of PyrOtol
which has been Used in Garnt county
in the past year, making all told some
10000 pounds. AS yet this office has
not heard any complaints as to its
ability to do the work it is intended
for, except in cases where it was not
properly handled.
If you are interested in securing
any of this material from this fall
car which we expect to arrive some
time in October we would suggest that
you send order ard check immediate
Iy 20 this office.
Make it a point this year to get
something ready for your local fair.
1t is your fair and the appropriation
of the state is meant for the further
ance and better farm produce and the
encouragement of its production.

IN MEMORIAM
VERA lone TRELOAR

''To think in every graveyard
The little hillocks lie,
But every hillock represents
An angel in the sky"
Vera was the third daughter of Ev-
erett and Rosetta Treloar. She was
born at Lancaster, Wis, on May %,
1916. She grew up a healthy child I'M
til three years ago when she con-
tracted the measles which left her
heart in weakened condition and
from which she finally passed away
at the family home in Little Grant,
Aug. 10, 1925, aged nine years, three
months and II days.
Vera leaves to mourn their loss, ia
Their and mother, three sisters: Dor
othy, Inez and Virginia; and one
brother, Ivan, besides many relatives
and friends.
But: Child of mine, child of bliss;
Why therefore weep for joy like
this"
The funeral services were held at
the home and the Little Grant church,
conducted by Rev John Birrell of the
Methodist Episcopal church of Lam
caster.
The text of the sermon was taken
from Matt 1910: For I say unto
you, that in heaven their angels do
always behold the face of my Father
which is in heaven"
Mrs. A. B. Cook sang three approp-
riate solos and so contributed through
her beautiful voice to the comfort of
the family.
Vera's teacher, Miss Joyce, and
schOolmates placed flowers on the cas-
ket
The pallbearers were Earl Vannat-
ia, Glen Fuller, George Pagenkopf,
Genevieve Jeide. Alma Pagenkopf, Wv
ian Jeide and Gwendolyn Tanner.
The church was filled with the sOr-
rowing relatives and friends, who sent
many beautiful flowers as a token of
their grief and sympathy.
So the whole community sympathy
goes out to the family in this, their
time of need And Vera:
"She thought our goodnight kiss
was given,
And like lily her life did close.
Angels uncurtained that repose,
And the next waking dawned in
heaven"

Every man whose eyes are not
blinded by his own great wealth or by
his personal and political obligations
will insist that the federal Inheritance
tax must remain. 1t must be preserv-
ed not only in order that great wealth
shall bear its share of the cost of
government, but even more in order
that some check may be imposed upon
the growth of colossal fortunes, many
of which are already so great that
they imperil the fundamental welfare
of the nation.
The revenue from the inheritance
tax should be applied to retiring the
public debt
THE application of the inheritance
tax to pay off the public debt has in it
a measure of justice which I believe
will appeal strongly to the American
people. These great estates which be-
come subject 10 the Inheritance tax
year after year, with the death of
their owners, were either founded up
on or largely increased by the extray-
agance, waste and profiteering of the
late war. That is why our public debt
is so enormous.

BREAKS THROUGH CUT USED
FOR PORTAGING TIMBER
AND DISAPPEARS.

Bass Lake, made famous years ago
by Alanson johnson who conducted a
summer resort and fishing headquar-
tiers thereon, has entirely disappeared
off the map end nothing now remains
but barren hole whore formerly this
handsome body of water was located.
Adolph Dolinsek, who with crew
of six men is cutting portages bet
ween the several lakes in that vicin-
ity, brought in the news accompanied
by pictures, of the transformation.
The pictures show he ground where
the lake was and the cut. between
Bass and Low Lakes through which
the water escaped from Bass into
Low and thence north Ito Internal
ional waters.
Dolnsek and crew were working
on a portage between Bass and Hobo
Lakes and during Wednesday night
were awakened by what they thought
was thunder rumblings Imagine
their surprise when in the morning
they found that the lake had gone.
Bass lake was about a mile wide and
nearly three miles in length. The
water got away over an old sluice
bed cut out years ago by the lumber
companies in driving timber. With
the ground taken away Wednesday
night the banks are now about forty
feet IN depth in the cut. There is
drop of about IL feet between High
and Low Lakes.
This seems like a wild tale but the
photos of the lake that isn't and the
ut at local photographers will show
just what happened. Mr.. Dolinsek
says that the larger fish of the lake
got away with the rush Of water, but
that thousands of small fry were left
high and dry on the bottom of the
Bass Lake basin.
