that corporations in taking up por.

should be forced to replace the torn

Ohio city that mas suffered TO some ex-
tent in this way has a poet who wrote
these lines, applicable to = good many
towns:
They took little gravel
And they took a little tar
| With various ingredients
Imported from afar;
They hammered it and rolled it,
And then they went away
They said they had a pavement
That would last for many a day.
But they came with picks and smote
it
To lay water main;
And then they called the workman
To put it back again.
To run railway cable
They took it up once more;
And they put it back again,
Just where it was before.
They took it up for conduit
To run the telephone;
And then they put it back again
AS hard as any stone.
They took it up for wires
To feed the 1ectric light.
And then they put it back again,
Which was no more than right.
Oh, the pavement's full of burrows,
There are patches everywhere;
You'd like to ride upon it
But it seldom let's you dare.
It's very handsome pavement,
A credit to the town
They's always diggin' of it up

Even some cities have used the ubi-
Quitous calendar to inculcate the les

Flushing, n. Y, has published a 1912
calendar, whose pages each day of the
year, have a quotation that ranges far
and wide from Marcus Aurelius to
Mayor Gaynor, from Emerson to Josh
Billings. from Confusius to Father
Tabb, the poet. Something along this
| line might well be done here in our
town that would keep civic pride in
the foreground. Another point is this:
There are many old, useless and un-

Falling Hair and Badness are caused by microbes.
Some eminent histologsts and chemists were
employed by the United Drug Co., Boston, Mass,
to find the means of destroyinghese microbes and
remedy that would create growth of hair
when the hair roots had not been entirely des-
! troyed.
They discovered what they claimed would do
what demanded To unquestionably prove
their theory, 100 leading druggists located in as
many different cities, requested to each fur
nish the name OF a responsible person suffering
from falling hair and badness. Each of these 100
persons furnished three bottles of the prepara
ton with request to give it thorough trial and
report results. I
Five failed to report. Two declared they had
been bald for years. that their hair follices had
long been closed and their scaps were smooth and
glossy. 93 stated they were delighted with the
hairrestoring qualities of the preparation, and
pressed sincere thanks for the benefits brought
about by its In commemoration of this the

MAKES CUT IN BRICK RATES
Railroad Commission Issues Order
for Reduction Of Is to 20 Per
Gent. in Freight Tariff

Madison. Freight rates on brick
have been reduced between Is and
20 per cent by the state railroad rate
commission in an order which af-
fects the principal roads of the state.
The order was issued after a long
investigation upon the petition of the
Wisconsin Brick Manufacturers as
ISOLATION. 1t prescribes the exact
rates to hold between different points
in the state. The reductions vary
from l ) to 20 per cent
The new rates range from II cents
per 100 pounds for five miles or less
TO 10 cents per 100 pounds for 800
miles.
The new rates will, il is expected.

turers to compete with Chicago man

state rates. ship large quantities of
brick into the southern part of the
state.

BADGER CORN GAINING FAME
German Government Orders a Con-
Segment OF Pedgreed Seed for
Its Colonies IN South Africa.

Madison.-The German govern
ment has ordered 5000 pounds OF
pedigree seed corn from the Wis
CCnsin agricultural experiment asso-
citation for distribution among the
German colonies in South Africa.
Some time ago samples of Wisconsin
corn were sent to the experiment sta
tons in German South Africa and the
vitality and general high quality of
the seed attracted the attention of
the agricultural experts there at once.
The season in South Africa being the
opposite Of the season in Wisconsin,
the corn jusl shipped will be planted
about the first of October and har-
vested in March or April. Nearly
100000 worth of this pedigree seed
corn has been sold by the experiment
association during the past year.
