GOOD ROADS FOR WHEELMEN,
Much Interest Being Taken in the
Movement by Wisconsin
COuntieS.

Patrons of the bicycle will be glad
to know that the spirit of highway i'm.
provement manifested in most of the
territory between the Alleghenies and
the Missouri river has already adj
vanced to practical results, says the
Chicago Chronicle. In southern and
eastern Wisconsin the interest taken
in this movement has crystallized into
numerous county organizations for
the carrying out of plans determined
upon. The crusade in that state was
begun by Senator James Fl. Scott, of
Menominee, who, working with Gen.
E. T. Harrison, United States govern
ment road expert, built section of
road at his own expense and at an
auspicious time gathered several hum
dred farmers to inspect it. Last fall
the state fair management took up
the idea and constructed a stretch of
improved road at Milwaukee. In con.
nection with this enterprise a con-
vention, at which over 1000 delegates
were in attendance, was held.
AS result of this initiative the sev.
eral counties of the Badger state or
ganized last winter, Waukesha lead
ing with Good Roads and Improves
ment association. The new counties
seem to be taking the lead in this
matter.
Efforts Of this nature give the most
substantial encouragement to the ma.
tional movement for better roads and
greatly advance the interests of
cycle touring. Conscious of increas-
ing public support, local interests are
about to make vigorous campaigns for
the passage of radical highway i'm
pHovement measures in several states.

Our books are now open for ap-
plications for beet contracts. In
view OF the general satisfaction re-
sulting from this first seasons ex-
perience, we have decided to offer
4 four-year contract. From the
present outlook we fully expect
that the entire acreage required for
the factory will be applied for by
the end OF December. Parties
desiring to grow beets next season
should make applications at once,
in order that they may not be dis
appointed if, later on, We should
not be able to accept any more
contracts.
AS the quality of the soil is OF
vital importance to both the grower
and the factory, no contracts will
be executed until the land offered
by the applicant has been examin-
ed and approved by our agricul-
turists.

has been lack Of room. Hence q has been
that the freshman crews have not been

Ii is probable that the public has never
been more grievously deceived. never been
induced to go exactly contrary to its best
interests. in a more bare-faced manner
than il has in the steel and iron securi-
ties. But the deception is not that the
public is investing in worthless securities.
On the contrary. il has been bunkoed into
selling out at ridicuiOusly inadequate
prices stocks that represent some Of the
most valuable concerns in the world. the
leading concerns in the wonderful AmeTi-
can steel industry. There are badly man
aged and dishonesty managed industrial
companies but it is quite as true that
there are badly and scandalously man
aged railways. II is not the sensible
course 10 sell Federal Steel or American
Car and Foundry or American Steel or
even Steel and Wire securities at their
present prices because Mr.. Gates has
proven a stock gambler and because he
is now on trial in New York for his
scandalous If not dishonest course. Quite
as well might the public sell out its New
York Central or its Pennsylvania or its
ST. Paul or Rock Island securities because
the past history Of American railways has
been full OF robbery and jobbery. with re-
ceiverships and vanished investments As
one Of the New York papers points out
there have been more bankrupt railways
during lhe past decade Iudu bankrupt
manufacturing concerns.
And il is also pertinent TO point out that
while the well-managed industrial com
panies are quite as safe as the railways
they offer opportunities for immense prof
its that the railways cannot dream Of No
railway has ever paid dividends such as
the Sugar company did for twelve years
and undoubtedly will again. No railway
security has ever given such returns to
investors as the Mergenthaler Linotype
Company does Mergenthaler stock could
hardly be given away a few years ago.
Railway investments were never any more
solid and never anything like as profitable
as Standard OIL stock
The immediate outlook for the steel and
iron securities is that they will advance
in price The outlook for the future is
that the reduction IN prices in numerous
grades of goods will revive buying on
wonderful scale and thus continue the
immense property Of the new companies
Already lower prices in many lines have
been followed by largely increased de-
mand.

That the university authorities are at
present more favorably disposed TO sports
than in several years past there is little
doubt. President Schurman is a frequent
spectator at the baseball games. the crew
practice. and he takes considerable pleas
ure in Witnessing the contests on the
campus. With but one or two exceptions
the members of the faculty are lending
their support to the various branches. a
fact which is a vital element, for it adds
greatly to the encouragement.
