good roads are of more Importance
in the development Of Northern Wis
consin than any other one thing.
1t is a matter of common knowl-
edge that much of the expense and
effort now put upon our country
roads is wasted because of lack of
interest and poor methods ofcon-
struction. Experience has demon
strated that better roads can be
built for the same money that is now
being expended. Good roads mean
more prosperous farmers and mer-
chants, moreintelligent citizens, they
bring means Of developing the state
and increasing the amount Of bust
ness that can be done.
Every farmer who attends the
state fair from Rusk county should
attend this convention and secure
all the information he can on the
situations. Some of the best road
experts in the United States will be
there and a number Of prominent
farmers will be on the program. The
Geological Survey, the Governor,
and the State Board of Agriculture
will appoint delegates on nomination
of the town chairman. The STATE
Geological Survey is going to build
Il short stretch OF model road on
the fair grounds.

1t is not every visitor to the News
office who reduces his I'M
pressiOns to writing, much less to
rhyme. Miss f. ID. Hadden, of Eliza
beth, n. J who is visiting in the
city, called at the shop one day last
week and witnessed the big printing
press in operation, and the resultant
produced the following:
Compared with great big engines of today,
I suppose you very small,
Though a little monster in your own way,
You do not understand it all.
But wit and wisdom of wags and sages,
Selected well, with tact and pith,
You reel off in printed pages
For folks to read in Ladysmith,
The spark of brain that frst conceived the tho't
OF your fine points, so intricate.
With bold and energetic labor Taught
Your destiny to calculate,
Was handed down in printers line of brain
From your ancestral printing press,
OF our dear old Ben Franklin's age and fame,
Which makes your glory none the less.
Complicated improvements crown your day,
Patents and plants mighty host
Expedite a much more judicous way,
Perhaps inspired by Franklin's ghost
Your field is wide, but needed laborers few
Rad affairs to almost sadden
With much accumulated work to do,
less brave man than Amzi Hadden.

THINKS HE CAN DO BETTER.

Old EIiphalet Resists the Tempting
Bride Offered by the Merchant.
Eliphalet HOskins was one OF the
old residents of the Head of Sassa-
fras, small Maryland village. He
was light fingered. He lifted eggs,
bars of y soap, potatoes, chickens
anything that came in his way. The
Head Of Sassafras people knew his
failing well, but on account OF his
great age they had pity On him. He
was never punished.
1t happened that one night load of
dried fish arrived at the wharf too late
for the keeper Of the general store to
remove it. There was nothing to do
but cover it with a tarpaulin and leave
it out all night. In this there was no
risk, though. The Head Of Sassafras
people were an honest lot.
They're an honest lot here NUT
tered the storekeeper as he drew
tarpanlin over his dried fish, and just
then he heard cautious footsteps. He
looked I'D up and there was old Eli
phalet Hoskins cycling the mound OF
fish gloatingly.
The storeieeper gave a grunt Of
vexation. Then he selected & couple
of fish and extended them to the old
man.
"Eliphalet,y he said, I've got to
leave this pie of fish out here over
night Now, if l give you these two
fine fellers will you promise not to
steal none of the others?
Eliphalet looked at the two fish in
the storekeeper's hsnd. Then he look
ed at the mountain of them under
meath the tar aulin.
That's a fair offer, Mr.. Smith, he
said, slowly, 'but-well-I dunno
think | can do better.

THE SMALLEST SCREWS.
To the Naked Eye They Look Like
Specks of Dust

The smallest screws in the world are
those made in watch factories. They
are cut from steel wire by a machine,
but as the chips fall from the knife 1t
looks as if the operator was simply
cutting up the wire for his own di-
version. One thing is certain-no
screws can be seen. and yet a screw
is made by every third operation.
The fourth jewel wheel screw is
next to invisible, to the naked eye re-
sembling a speck of dust. With a
glass, however, it can be made out
quite DISTINCT - a. z6V tbreads %
an inch. These little screws are four
One-thOusandth of an inch in diam
eter, and the heads are double in size
1t has been estimated that an ordinary
thimble would hold 100000 of them.
About 100000 of them are manu-
factured in the course of a month,
but no attempt is ever made to count
them. In determining the number 100
of them are placed on q very delicate
balance and the number of the whole
quantity calculated from the weight
OF, these. All the small parts of the
watch are counted in this way, prob
ably 80 out of the 100.
When they have been cut the screws
are hardened and put into frames,
about 100 to the frame, heads up. This
is done very rapidly, but entirely by
the sense of touch instead of by sight,
so that blind man with a little ex-
perience could perform the task.
The next step in the process is to
polish the heads In an automatic ma
chine, 10000 at a time. The plate on
which this is done is covered with oil
and a grinding compound, and on this
the machine moves them very rapidly
