EXPERT ROAD ADVICE FREE

The Highway Division of the Geolog-
ical Survey advises farmers of Wiscon-
sin contemplating road and bridge i'm
provement to send in thier application
for advice and assistance at once. The
appropriation for this work is only$10,-
900. This means that comparatively
few of the 200 communities can be

age the Highway Division offers hearty
cooperation.
The Highway Division will, upon ap-
plication, inspect roads which are diff
cult to maintain and tell how to remedy
existing conditions as quickly and cheap
ly as possible; make practical suggestion
for relocation, grading or drainage;
examining old bridges and estimate
carefully the cost of new ones; in short,
insure the farmers of Wisconsin the
best possible results at the least possible
expense.
This competent advice, practical as
sistance, and whenever possible { in
the case of stone or gravel roads, out
fits of road machinery are offered by
the Highway Division upon application
entirely free of charge.

WANTED-A HOME

In the city of Milwaukee there are
thousands of good boys from Il to
Is years of age who are out of work.
rhe school law compels these boys
to he regularly employed or attend
school.
This department Is striving to get
places for boys nf this kind on the
farms OF Wisconsin. Not every boy
sent out turns out Il good invest
ment for the farmer but many OF
them make excellent farm hands.
We expect farmers to advance rail-
road fare and start the boys at from
IS to $40 per month, according to
the size and ability of the boys. The
railroad fare is to be- deducted from
the boys wages if he does not re
main at least four months. Ii he
does remain four months and does
well, he is to be given his railroad
fare
Farmers must not expect to make
too much profit out OF Il boy at 1rst.
The life is new to them and the work
is new but, with kind treatment and
instruction, the boys will usually
turn out well. Farmers w h o
would like to try boy should make
application to Bert Hall, Chief Tru-
ant Officer, City Hall, Milwaukee.
1t is necessary for farmers to give
references so we may know the boys
are going to work for reputable men.

DESERT AND SWAMP LANDS.
Booming Effects of the Reclamation
of Arid Regions.

of Arid Regions.
According to official figures, since
the reclamation law was enacted by
congress III 1902 eight towns have
peen built and 10000 people have set
tied on what were desert lands. To
Prepare the way for these settlers 100
miles of branch railways have been
built. 1867 miles of canals have been
dug, many of which carry whole riv-
ers, and forty-seven tunnels have been
excaVated.
1t is estimated that the territory
embraced in what is known as the arid
regions of the United States covers
GOO .0GO, 900 acres, of which about co.
900 900 acres are subject to irrigation,
which, when properly supplied with
water, can be converted into farms,
fully as productive as lands in the
NEST favored sections.
A bill was introduced in congress at
the last session for the purpose OF
retaining overfowed and swamp
lands in Wisconsin, Arkansas, Indiana
Minnesota, New Jersey, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina and other states
and those back of it say that it will be
pushed" at the next session.
The member who offered this meas
ure roughly estimates the amount OF
Cverfowed and swamp lands to be re
aimed at 100000 acres, the re
clamation of which would increase the
land value more than $5,000,000, the
annual crop value $1,500,000, 900. and
| if subdivided into forty-acre farms
would supply 100000 families with
'lcmes and put 100000 people or
lands now practically worthless.

The purchase of the county poor
farm, although it may not have been
exactly at a bargain price, has had
two noticeable effects already. One
is in the manner Of transacting bust
ness by h e county supervisors
rules adopted which will give time
for every member to find out what
he is voting on before he votes aye.
The other Is that there are many peO-
pie over the county who have been
regularly drawing aid from the cOun-
ty as paupers, who will not now go
to the poor house and their aid is
cut off. In this way the poor farm
may prove an indirect saving to the
county from the start.

proposition as follows:
AS to the purchase of the poor farm
having been illegal, it seems likely
that it was, but if anyone wished to
object on that ground action should
have been taken at once. Transfer
of the property has been made, bonds
issued in payment, and the bonds
perhaps have been sold. 1t will

Our common council believes that
q s'dead letter" law should be re-
pealed and that is right. They there
fore propose to repeal the curfew or
dinance. The "curfew" has been SO
generally considered necessary to the
safeguarding of the children that 1t
has been adopted in almost every
city and hamlet in the United States.
1t is one of the easiest laws to EN-
force, because parents Will cooperate
with the police in keeping children
off the streets at night. If our city
council persists, Ladysmith will, we
believe, be the first municipality on
record to repeal the curfew law.
