at retail at or 9 cents gallon. Since
that time many labor saving methods
and appliances have been adopted in the
petroleum industry that tend to reduce
the cost of production. The pipe line
system of transportation, the tank cars
and the local storage tanks were then
in their infancy, the costly and waste
full system of shipping in barrels being
still in vogue. On account of improved
machinery and methods it seems likely
that kerosene can be produced more
cheaply than fifteen years ago, but the
retail price is now Is cents or nearly
double.
AS further proof that the price of
kerosene is not warranted by the cost
of production, it may be noted that the
annual dividends of the Standard OIL
Company average more than 40 per cent.
Really, we don't believe the President
is overstating the case when he says
that possibly in some cases. the high
prices are due to combinations in re-
straint of trade"

there was mo clew to the mysterious

with his nose because of a conflict
between himself and the statute re-

covered some irregularity in the com
mitment papers and started habeas
corpus proceedings which set his man
at liberty
They walked out of the courthouse
into the street, where the man asked
the young lawyer to state the amount
of his fee. which information was fur
nfshed him without delay The man
hadn't the money with him, having
been In jail, but he said he'd send it
at once.
My best advice to you, said the

as fast as ever you can before the
sheriff gets after you with a new set
of papers"

God lets me live until Saturday night
I'll see that you get that money" And
he started down the street on run
They never arrested the fellow but
Marlatt is certain sure God didn't let
him live, because he never sent the
money He just started off on run

SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH TUBERCULOSIS

A recent investigation in Stockholm,
Sweden, disclosed the fact that 1.61
per cent of the children in the schools
of that city were positively affected
with tuberculosis. If this percentage
were applicable to Wisconsin there
would be more than 7,400 tuberculosis
children enrolled in the pnblic schools

273,O 900 children would be suffering
from this disease. These statements
will serve to show the need of medical
inspection of school children.

SPENDS MILLIONS ON HORSES
Germany Leads the World In lmpor'

Purposes.

From some statistics published re-
lister of agriculture, the land of the
kaiser leads the world in the matter
of importing horses. In case OF war
the Germans are bound that they will
be in possession of liberal supply OF
horses. For the last three years
there has been a slight decrease, the
cause being that home breeders are
doing well In 1909 Germany inn
ported 119, 900 horses at cost of $780,
100000 Most of the imports were
made for draught purposes; light
draught horses numbered 43,500 and
were of the value of s4,500,00O. The
heavy draught horses numbered 49,
500 and were of the value OF $4,000
900. Supplies of the former class
were drawn principally from Russia,
which sent 30.225 head; then came the
Netherlands. with 1924, Austria and
Hungary accounted for 2,o25. Den
mark for 467. and the rest were drawn
from France and Belgium. The heav-
lest of the draught horses were main
ly supplied from Belgium, 10000 be-

$310 Denmark delivered $1,000,
France 5,S47, Austria and Hungary

Germany imported 267 halfbred sires
at an average cost of $1,000, most of
them being from Belgium. Saddle
horses are put down as numbering
1852, of which Austria supplied 2,946,

CONCRETE BRIDGES ARE CHEAPEST

Two County Boards of Road Commits
sioners had an argument about high
way bridges, and the following was the
result:
Both counties were running about
even in expenses, and with excellent
credit and no Indebtedness. One county
borrowed $1,000, and built steel high
way bridge with wooden floor. The
other borrowed $1,350, and erected a
permanent concrete bridge. Twenty
FIVE years later the cost of the first
bridge was as follows:
Interest on $1,000 at $4,000
year Sl .0UU
Ref1ooring every five years, four
times. ............................ 4U0
Repainting every eight years, two
This gives a total of $1,000, which
amounts to $50 90 per year, and the
81, 900 originally borrowed, still unpaid,
and must now be increased to So, 900, or
go without bridge. For the next twen-
ty-five years the cost per year runs
$50. 90 more, by reason of the interest
on the additional 81, 900, and the amount
in debt is $1,000. At the end of fifty
years the amount will be paying at the
rate of 5000 per year, and be in debt
$4,000 At the end of seventy-five years
the amount will be paying at the rate
of $3.50 year, and be in debt $4,000. At
the end of one hundred years it will be
paying at the rate of $500 and be in
debt SIS, 600. 1t takes no financier to
see that the building of temporary
steel or wooden bridges will lead to
bankruptcy or higher tax rates.
The county that erected the perma-
nent concrete bridge, costing nothing
for repairs or repainting, but costing
one-third more than the steel bridge in
first cost, would have charge of only
S81. 90 for interest and Indebtedness,
which would never need to be increased
for that bridge.
In many places properly designed
concrete bridge will compete in cost
with steel bridge, both of the same
Ioading capacity, and the concrete
bridge employs materials and labor
from the county, while the greater part
of the cost of the steel bridge is expen-
ded out of the county, thus the money
paid for the concrete bridge is returned
to the tax payer, and the amount ex-
pended for the steel bridge is con-
slant drain on the tax payers.
If money can be borrowed at low
er rate on the bond issue way at A per
cent, the showing is even more favor
able for a concrete bridge, and the
county can then afford to pay fifty per
cent more for concrete than for steel.
People in general ought to take more
interest in these things, and one way of
of obtaining information is to visit indus
trial shows, in this case the cement show.
The next cement show will be given
in Chicago, February 18th to 26th, in
the Coliseum. 1t promises to be the
greatest of its kind. There will be
more than three hundred exhibitors,
and much valuable information will be
distributed on concrete, especially on
bridges, residences, etc.
This is a valuable opportunity for
farmers and highway commissioners to
obtain reliable data on any work they
are going to do in the coming year, and
the displays are interesting and in
sCructive.

PHOTOGRAPHIC PREACHING
Baltimore Organization Teaches
Morality by the Moving Pic
ture Method.

The moral education board. with
/ headquarters in Baltimore. IS the
name of an organization that hopes
| soon to become an institution, and
has for its purpose instruction in
morality by the graphic method Of
illustrated lessons. The movement
was initiated by Milton Fairchild.
| who for the last thirteen years has
been devoting his entire time to its
development. Next Sunday eve
ming he will give Ia demonstration of
his method at the Old South church,
and on the afternoon of the Thurs
day following another at the Walker
building of the NJ |. T. The board
is contemplating the construction Of
an institution in Baltimore for the
purpose of thorough work in these
illustrated lessons and the compile
ton of set of sixty lessons adapted
to American schools. This will re-
quire an endowment of $500, 1000,
$4,000 of it for building and the
remainder for the development and
extension of the work,
Although this method appeals To
most of us with the force of novelty,
the lessons have been already given
in twenty different states to an az
gregate audierice of 100, GOO boys AMI
girls, and in a number of states it
has been successfully tired in TIE,
public schools. 1t aims to teach high
er standards of morality Through in
cidents Of actual life as presented by
photographs The Rev. DR.. Watson
has said In one of his books. In
Simultaneous photography takes sin
in the act, and even a fcare'ess person
will remember what kind of a thing
this is when he has seen it done with
the base details and evil face of the
sinner" The theory is that the need
OF the child Is not moral precept or
system Of moral philosophy that puz-
zles his brain, "blt instruction as to
what experience has taught older
people is right and wrong in the prac-
teal affairs Of life."
