Twenty-ninth Regiment Reunion.
MILWAUKEE, MAY goth, 1892.

h1LN AU X EE, May LUUu, 1917.
The annual reunion of the Doth Reg
iment, Wisconsin Infantry, will be
held at Lake Mills, on Tuesday, June
21st, in accordance with the resolution
to that effect adopted at Waterto wn
one year ago.
Lake Mills is one of the most beauti-
full of the many attractive lake resorts
of Wisconsin. 1t is the home of Capt.
Oscar L. Ray and many comrades of
Co A. In its vicinity several COM
panies of the regiment were recruited,
and we could hardly find more de-
si1able place to hold our reunion.
We need not, therefore, urge every
comrade who can do so to be present.
We do, however, urgently request
every comrade who cannot come to the
reunion, to write to the secretary some
thing that may be of interest to the
comrades assembled; something of in
cident or "reminiscences of the old days
Anything of a like character, prepared
and read by some of the comrades who
do attend would be equally acceptable.
In Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty,
[ am, Very truly yours,

Good Roads with Straw.

The farmers of the country are be-
ginning to wake up to the fact that
straw is great factor in good roads.
The discovery of this new idea was
made at Carthage, Ill.,, several years
ago, during the fair of the Hancock
county agricultural board. The wealth
er had been very dry, and by the mid
die of the week the roads leading to
the fair grounds had become nearly hub
deep in dust, no amount of sprinkling
seeming to have any effect. Finally as
a last resort number of loads of straw
were scattered along the principal
sprinklers kept going all night. To the
surprise and qualification of the good
people of that city the plan proved a
fine success and the dust was kept
'laid" during the remaining days of the
fair without difficulty. Now comes the
interesting part of the story. During
the various muddy spells that have oc-
Cured since the plan was utilized, it
was found that the highway thus
"strawed" was always in the best con-
ditIon.
Some wise farmers down in the lower
part of Hancock county taking note of
this, have spread straw over several
hundred yards of very bad roadway in
their vicinity, and it is now stated that
this piece of road is the only good road
in that part of the county. The Bowen
Chronicle in referring to the matter
says: "Straw makes a road that is not
muddy In wet weather. Don't burn
up old hay or straw, it is just as easy to
have it on the roads. There is enough
straw wasted each winter to cover the
roads of the county"
This is good suggestion and our
farmers would do well to do a little
experimenting. Burlington HaaUkeye

cation may be made to the government

An Important DIscoyery.

German investigation proves that acid
solutions will convert common sawdust
into a material firm in texture and so
extremely hard as to be impenetrable
by either nail or gimlet. 1t is also
more impervious to the action Of the
elements than any other known mate
rial used for building purposes, con-
crete natural stone and ordinary build
ing metals not excepted. Besides the
above excellent qualities, which of
course will make it rank high in the
estimation Of contractors and builders
it has another point that will make it
worthy of praise when finally adopted
that Of being practically fireproof, speci-
mems Of boards made from it having
been subjected to an extraordinary de-
gree of heat for upward of an hour with
out warping or changing its texture in
the least.
1t is claimed for, it that it will be
stronger than wood for joists and grid
ers, and, above ali, that it can be manu-
featured at such slight cost as TO bring
it into competition with the more com
mon building stuffs. st. Louis Repub-

claimed to be Republican, but always

He hoped that every mothers son" in

He thought the Democratic legislative
ticket this year was q put up job. We
have been riddled to death by extrava-

thing cost over $4,000 more than it
ought to. l believe the Democratic
nominees for the legislature this year
are pretty well in the hands OF schem-
ers. Applause.l Why, there is not a
man amongst them who has sense
enough to make motion to adjourn.
