FOR BETTER ROADS.

We are pleased to note the present in
terest that is being taken by our citizen.
In regard TO the Improvement Of roads
There are thousands of days OF labor phi
! on the roads yearly, and II is conceded b.
many that they are getting worse. The
more the roads are Travelled, the more
gullies and sandbeds. We work the roads
today and expect the FIRST rain to wash
1t out.
There is something radically wrong In
our present methods. We believe and
hope our County Commissioners will look
into this matter and formulate some plan
to remedy the present system of making
roads. With the laws enacted by our
last Legislature for the purpose Of reme-
dying this evil we think that they will be
able to make a change for the better.
There is no reason why we should not
have good roads; because It is so easy to
make them here, compared with other
places. We believe that we have Coun-
ty Board who have the courage to act,
and will give this matter their especial
attention.
We cannot estimate the value that good
roads would be to our county. Nearly
every enterprise when guided by wise
Is likely to increase beyond
When the leaders have
courage there will be no lack of follow
ing, and the opening Of the way ls certain
to induce others to follow; so the final re-
suit Is beyond the dreams Of the present.
The development of our county by
means Of good roads means much for us.
It will bring class Of people here that
will spend their money to build our cities |
and consume our surplus. 1t will ami ,
hilate distance between neighbors, towns
md the extremes OF our large county. 1t
would then be pleasure to all to visit
,ften our beautiful bavs, which have so
vide reputation as being the best health
escorts. both winter and summer, in the
State, and hundreds of invalids would go
here to get well again, II we had good
Dads so they could get there with any
|egree OF comfort.
Good roads would double the value OF
ands, increase our population, reduce
ur taxes and insure the safety OF the
raveler. 1t would make business and
ause the Improvement Of st. Andrews
arbor. 1t would not be unreasonable to
oppose that when the Panama canal is
ompleted Alabama would build rail-
Dad from her mountains of coal and iron
0 our Harbor, where she would ship the
roducts Of her mines to all parts of the
'ord.
We trust that our citizens will heartily
Import our County Fathers In any plan
,oking to the betterment of our public
ighways.

On The Bicycle Path.

A bicycle handicap road race under
the management of the Stevens Point
road club is to be the Decoration day
feature at Stevens Point. Course will
be from the Public square in that city
down the west side of Wisconsin river
to LinwOOd, cross the stream at
Fuller'S ferry and proceed by way of
Plover up Division and Main streets
back to the square. Distance Is miles.
The race is open to any amateur Of
good standing, the entrance fee is
Sl.00. A long list of nice prizes are
offered, the best being $50 wheel.
Harry Rablin of this city and Donald
Ploss of the Johnson-Hill drug store,
Centralia, are two riders that cer-
tainly could make a showing in that
contest. Neither has been in training
this season and both have disposed Of
their wheels, but we would be pleased
to hear that the twin cities were to be
represented by them in our neighbOr' s
race on May 30.
Twin city wheelmen intending to
visit Stevens Point hereafter will do
well to have their bicycles provided
with d bell, whistle or alarm signal,
and lighted lamp or lantern if they
ride in the evening. That's the Or
dinance up there and the chief of
police announces this week that the
same will be strictly enforced. Don't
be held up for SO or less

Mr.. MACK SELLS THELINES,
Twin City Electric Company Closes a Deal
With the Central PEOPLE,

The board OF directors of the Twin
City Electric company have finally
been able to purchase the poles, lines
and transformers belonging to the
Central Electric company, or in other
words all material of the transmitting
mechanism outside the power house.
Consideration $4,000. They made a
payment of $500 down to bind the
bargain and will be given possession
as soon as they provide their own
power. The directors considered the
adyisa bility of purchasing the power
house, dynamoS, ETC., but the majority
of them thought best to purchase a
site, erect a suitable building and put
in a first-clasS steam plant suitably
located for water power also.
We feel that the directors have
acted wisely and we'll and that the
new brick and stone power house,
modern and up-to-date dynamos. with
a firSt-claSS COrliSS engine will be the
most certain route to satisfactory
service. We had our doubts as to the
adviSa bility of purchasing the lines,
poles and transformers belonging to
the old company for we feared that
their usefulness was we'll nigh ex-
hausted. However, we know that the
directors have made careful investi-
cation of these matters and are
satisfied that they are following the
right course. With this purchase as a
starter, we can look forward to a new
electric plant in the near future.

Pearls Before Swine.

And there is tragic form of waste
going on all the time, the waste of in
telligent human thought in drab
family circle, the continual expendi-
ture of ideas on an irresponsible au-
dience, while persons exist to whom
every word dropped might be full of
charm, every hint a cue for enthuSi-
aStic appreciation. There is the waste
of handsome musical instruments in
hands that can bring from them no
response, while those who might give
us the music of the spheres pine in an
attic and perform their wonders on
tinkling keyboard acquired by hire
system, or perhaps at cheap auction.
There is also the waste of books,
where none care to open them, while
Others are clamOring for mental
pabulum, for a chance for reference,
or for solace in deSOlatiOn. Again,
how many childish looks, how many
careSSeS, are thrown away by the
young on mothers who are too en-
numbered with olive branches to spend
time in small tenderness, while lonely
wives sit neglected with never a tiny
face TO hold against their own and
never voice to prattle delicious inani-
CiSc ihCo CIlSIi OoilOVlul CdIos AlIO
there is other waste, too-the waste
of the words 81 love you"-that is
banded like tennis ball in the draw
ing rooms of the frivolous, while some
meritorious persons, really noble, if
plain of feature, are doomed to pass
from cradle to grave without once
hearing so beatitic, SO coveted a con-
feSSiOn. There are some who are
surfeited with love and some who
may not even pick up the fragments
that remain: there are others who
spend their affections and their COM
pany on the unworthy, never under
standing the giving of true sunshine,
while there are those to whom such
affection and such company would be
worth more than GOlconda. 1t is
topsy-turvy world, but perhaps, could
we bear in mind the store some might
set on the things we fail to appreciate
we might be assisted to cultivate
liberation of our miSfortuneS and
certain amount OF content.-Ne

There fingers in our memory, from
boyhOod to the present time, many
pleasant recOllectiOns of this dear,
kind, mOtherly woman. AS boy we
knew her more intimately than we
have since we have grown to manhood.
If ever there was good Christian
woman she was one. The impressions
she made upon our young heart found
lodging place where they have devel-
Oped into deyOtedneSS. We learned to
love her when a mere boy because she
was good and kind to us when we
needed it most. We love her for it
still. The many little kindneSSeS she
bestowed upon US, when we lived
neighbOr to the family, found root in
our young life and we have never for
gotten her for them. She was re-
markable woman, not in society life,
for she did not love show or display,
but for sterling qualities her life was
full of them. Mother of ten children
five living-all of whom are living
representatives of the excellent quail
tiles and virtues possessed by their
parents. Such mothers do not realize
the power for good they WELD in this
life, but the influence and results are
there just the same. One can review
her life and find no dark places in the
record, but to the contrary find act
upon act to her credit that will con-
tinue to emulate her christian charac-

Mrs. Elizabeth Rablin was born in
Cornwall, England, July 9, 1914, and
and was therefore 81 years, 10 months
and Il days old when she died. She
was married in her home city to John
Rablin in 1887 and came to this cOun-
try with her husband in July, 1888,
and settled in Galena, Ill.,, where Mr..
Rablin labOred in the lead mines. In
the early part of 1856 they moved to
Elk Grove, Wis. where they remained
only short time and came to this
city in October of the same year.
Their union was blessed with ten
children as follows:
Jane, born in Cornwall, January 2,
1888, and now the wife of John An
drews, a resident of Grand Rapids,
Wis: Elizabeth, born in Galena, ILL.,,
October 9, 1889, and now the widow of
Seth Reeves: Sarah Ann, born March
13, 1871, died January 10, 1898; James,
born January 5, 1913, died October 25,
1S47; John, born January IA, 1S45,
died in 1884: William, born January 8,
1S47, died May 81, 1S49: Henry, born
October 25, 1S49, now residing in
Grand Rapids: Catherine, wife of
Frank J. Wood, banker of Grand

Susan, born July II, 1854, now the
wife of Charles SlOcum, resident of
West Superior, Wis: and Lavinia,
born April Is, 1857, now living in
Grand Rapids.
Mrs. Rablin was a member of the
Episcopal church of England when a
girl but when she came to this city
she joined the Congregational church
and was a faithful atten dant and
worker in this society up to the last.
The funeral service was largely
attended. A short service was held
at the home at 1:30 p. M. and at the
Congregational church at 2:3O, Rev.
F. A. Nimits, pastor of the M. E.

Howe High School.

School will be closed next Tuesday,
May 30 Decoration day.
Senior examinations will be held
today Thursday and tomorrow. The
remaining four days of school are
and arrange the opera house stage for
stands, who has gone through this
diploma-getting mill, that it takes
at least four days to perform four
hours work on such occasions.
Final examinations in all of the de-
partments is set for next Wednesday
and Thursday. These are trying days.
The class Of 80 experienced some
trouble in selecting or rather deciding
upon a class flower, but they finally
concluded to adopt the white rose as
their floral emblem. Therefore wear
the white rose on commencement
night if you would be loyal to 80.
Only one member of this years foot
ball team goes out with the class Of
'99. Ten Of the doughty kickers will
be back next fall. AS we look into
the future, with these facts in mind
and sum up the victories they have
won and the strong team plays that
developed before the close of last sea-
son, anticipations for the next eleven
fly skyward. New material is not
lacking either, and all conditions
seem favorable.
On Saturday evening, Prof. Culver
Of the Stevens Point Normal will de-
liver a lecture, illustrated with the
stereopticOn, at High School building,
beginning at s o'cl,ck. His subject
will be Of a geological nature. The
purpose of this lecture is to assist in
clearing the debt incurred by the
basket ball team and Prof. Culver has
been the first to meet this condition
by offering his services at a very low
rate, the usual charge for this dis
course being $500. The professor is
well known throughout the state as a
lecturer on scientific subjects and an
interesting program is assured. Lem
Onade will be furnished free to all
present by members of the basket ball
team and number Of local scenes
will be thrown upon the canvas during
the evening. General admission, %
cents; school children, Is cents.
These items are perhaps the last
that will appear this year in the II.
H. S. column over the signature of
"Student." During seven months we
have endeavored to keep the public
and the parents in touch with affairs
transpiring in this school. 1t is hoped
that in a small degree at least this
has been accomplished. Next year
let the column be kept alive by one
more capable of welding the pen, for
it is our earnest desire to see the
Scarlet and White ever in the ascend
ant over our Staunch old friend, the

UkEEDA JIkJER WAYFER.
Something about the Popularity of the
Sweet Sister of Uneeda Biscuit"

Something about the Popularity of the
''Sweet Sister of Uneeda Biscuit"
Everybody has had evidence Of the
popularity and success of Uneeda
Biscuit. In month from the time
they were first advertised the name
"Unceda' was on everybOdy'S lips;
everyone had tasted the new soda
biscuit, and great majority favored
them and bought them steadily.
Within three months "Uneeda" was
a household word and Uneeda Biscuit
were as much an article of every day
diet as the butter that was eaten on
them or the coffee that was drank
with them.
Now there has arrived on the scene
biscuit, or wafer, which some one
has called 1.-The sweet sister of Uneeda
Biscuit" 1t is Uneeda Jinjer Wayfer,
a crisp and dainty product of the
same bakeries which produced Uneeda
Biscuit. Already there is evidence
that the Uneeda Jinjer Wayfer con-
tainS the essentials for the same kind
OF popularity as the Uneeda Biscuit
enjoys. The ingredients, including
the touch of real ginger which gives
them the name, are so prOpOrtiOned as
to produce, by skillful baking, wafer
which does not pail on the palate or
overtax the stomach. In other words
it is plain enough to be an everyday
food to be eaten often and it is like
wise dainty enough to be enjoyed as a
decided change from the daily fare of
bread.
The Uneeda Jinger Wayfer package
is of the same construction as the
famous Uneeda Biscuit package, keep
ing the moisture and flavor of the
fresh wafer inside the package and
keeping all kinds Of foreign moisture
and flavorS outside. These new waters
are for sale by all grocers. They are
favorites with those who go on picnics
popular with those who entertain
their friends: decidedly enjoyed by
the children, and most of all they are
esteemed in the family for eating
with meals or between meals.
