PREACHED GOSPEL OF GOOD
ROADS AT FARMERS
INSTITUTES.

The memgers OF the highway divi.
sion of the state geological survey
has been successful in turning the
attention of the people to the great
waste of time and money on our
roads, and this consequent bad con-
dition.
During the winter when they could
not help build roads they have been
talking at farmers Institutes and
other meetings wherever the local
eople were interested enough to get
up such gathering, In this way they
have attended about 100 meetings
and talked 10 $4,000 or 10000 people.
They have urged the use Of the
split log drag and other cheap, effec-
tive means of keeping our roads In
good condition with such success that
many towns have voted to have them
used ON all their roads after every
rain this summer
During the summer they are plan
ming to help towns build a number OF
stretches of model road. They furnish
road machinery such as crushers
steam rollers, etc, and an engineer to
see that the best results possible for
the money are obtained. These roads
will be built at Sparta, Baraboo
Chippewa Falls and several places In
other parts of the state.
Ii addition they are furnishing ex
pert engineering advice and bridge
designs to towns which plan to built
bridges this year.

SUCCESS.

To work steadfastly with an upward
aim,
To conquer wisely trials met;
With little use for anger or for blame;
The highest good from life to get;
To gather wealth, not for its sake
alone,
But for the gooa 1t helps to do;
To strike each morn a richer Hental
tone,
And onward press with courage
new;
To hold in other hearts sacred
place,
To gladly helping hands extend.
To grow in spirit beauty, spirit
grace,
AS through this busy world we
wend;
To win the power to lead; to cheer.
to bless
Our brother man-this constitutes
success.
