Have your standard and live up to it.
Set that standard according to your own
income and your own judgment of what
is best for you and yours This trying
to live up to the standards of others is
what destroys the happiness of many
households. Families with an income
of 81, 600 a year, make desperate effort
to live up to the standard of those with
an income of $500, and those with
S. 500 try to initiate those with $4,000
year. We have such a foolish fear of
what our neighbors will do or think or
say We have not the moral force to fix
our own standard and then live up to it
as we ought to do. The courage Of on's
convictions, the independence of ones
sense Of what is best for ones individual
self and family are valuable possessions
Of this age Of arti6calitv and striving for
effect

Teachers are Active
in Community Life

The activities of the members of
the faculty of the Normal school,,
when considered with relation to
the school and community, gives
cause for thought and appreciation.
The training, the abilities, and
tastes of the teachers enables them
to be of use, if their duties in the
conducting of their classes and in
the routine running of the school
permit, in many ways toward the
practical and cultural betterment of
the community. The activities OF
the teachers are as varied as their
talents. Some conduct Sunday
school classes; some sing in church
choirs; some hold positions of trust
and responsibility; and some lend
themselves TO entertainment and
intellectual enlight eminent. No
complete account of the work done
outside of the school by the mem
bers of the local faculty will be at
tempted; but some of their activities
are worth enumerating.
Among those who teach Sunday
school classes are Professors Malott
and Karges, (now on leave of alb
sence) and Miss Sanford, who are
workers in the Methodist Sunday
school; and Professors ]. H. Ames
and Reed, who teach classes in the
Congregational Sunday school, and
Miss Armstrong, who is superin-
tendent of the Junior department of
that Sunday school. Many of the
teachers in the Sunday schools are
upper class Normal students who
are taken out of the advanced class
es to teach the younger children.
Among those whose voices add to
the singing services in the churches
are Professor Welles and Professor
Wright, who leads the Methodist
church choir; and Miss Zinn, Miss
Willett, Miss Armstrong and Pro-
lessor Goble, who sing in the Con-
gregational choir. These people are
often called upon to sing at enter
tainments and social gatherings be-
sides their work in the choirs.
Professor Welles is a trustee of
the Methodist church and a member
of the Peoples Lecture Committee.
Professor Karges, while here, is a
steward in the former organization.

ing of which seems always to pro-
mote greater interest in farm life.
These men even claim that if farm
stock were to be eliminated from
agricultural practice the most pow
erful magnet that attracts and holds
the brightest and best among our
farm-raised young men and women
on the farms would be removed.
1t is the opinion of many of the
best stockmen OF the state that
Wisconsin through one agency or
another might at this time profit
ably champion an educational cam
paign dissem mating live stock in
formation, possibly by means of
special trains similar TO the dairy
specials which have toured Iowa,
the Breakfast Bacon Special"
which also travelled the length and
breadth of this corn belt state, the
Live Stock Special" which taught
Idaho farmers to maintain better
varieties of stock, by improving
the quality and character of its
county fairs, or by encouraging
community and cooperative breed
ing.
At the annual meetings of the
Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders
Association and it's allied bodies
which will be held at Madison on
Feb ruary 7th and 9Th plans for eff
fecting this improvement in Wiscon-
sins live sto ok industry wills be
considered. Already representa-
tives of some of the railroad lines
operating in the state have agreed
to cooperate in the work bringing
the advantages of live stock rails
ing to the attention of farmers liv-
ing along their lines.
Efforts are being made to have
representative of the United States
and Canadian governments attend
one or more of these meetings to
tell Wisconsin stockmen of the
work being done in the two countries
to encourage and improve the live
stock industry which in Canada as
in the Estates" is regarded as the
foundation of not only agricultural
but all prosperity.

THE NEW MAPLE STREET
BRIDGE

The City Fathers have finally let
the contract for new bridge over
the Kinnickinnic at Maple street.
Twelve construction companies had
bids presented and large number
of their representatives were here
to illustrate their plans. After an
almost all-night session last Thurs
day the Council finally accepted,
with a few alterations, the plans
drawn up by Mr.. Madison, and the
Minneapolis Steel and Machinery
company, having presented the
lowest bid, got the job.
This bridge will have two main
spans, supported by web girders,
each seventy feet in length and
resting at the east end on the
present abutment, which will be
strengthened to carry the load.
There will be concrete pier in the
middle of the stream and another
just east of the mill f1ume. From
this point the bridge is to be divid-
ed into two approaches, one running
westerly toward the Coggeshall hill
and the other toward the railway
station. At point short distance
west of the hume a retaining wall
will be built, running practically
parrelell to the railroad tracks from
the south side of the travelled street
until it reaches a point near the end
of the present approach towards the
station. There will be an earth fill
from this wall TO the track.
The bridge will have concrete
floor covered over with a thin gravel
surfacing. The roadway will be
twenty feet in width and the side
walk, which will be on the north
side, will have a width of six feet.
The bridge will have an unusual
ly solid appearance as the long
girders will be seven feet in depth.
The bridge will cost the city
I'll, 14S 90 complete, and very little
work will have to be done by the
city to make connections with the
sidewalks at the ends of the bridge
The total length of the brige and
approaches is about two hundred
and forty feet. 1t is estimated that
it will take about ia tons of steel
for its construction.
The work on the new bridge will
be commenced early this spring and
completed in few weeks.
A list of the construction firms
entering bids and the amounts esti.
mated will be found in the Council
i Proceedings published in another
| column of this issue.

Live Stock Farming Most
Profitable

Convinced that the great major
ity of Wisconsin's 176, $40 farms
are peculiarly adapted TO live stock
production, many Wisconsin farm
ers are increasing the size of their
herds and hocks, so as to better
utilize all of the waste products and
idle lands of their farms. They
are finding that to increase produc-
ton and at the same time reduce
its cost is quite as advisable if not
as necessary in farming, as in man
ufacturing or any other business.
To get maximum yields and re-
turns at minimum costs, many are
turning more and more to diversi-
fed farming, which properly COM
bines grain and live stock growing
and which, of course, upbuilds the
fertility of the soil. They realize
that intelligent live stock husband
ry markets the grain and other
feeds produced in valuable form
and that on the other hand exclu sive
grain growing depletes the soil
supply of plant food and does not
solve the human food problem. In
relligent systems of live stock hus-
bandry are in fact generally recog-
nized as the most profitable sys-
TENS of farming under existing con-
ditions.
The highest type of agriculture,
it is generally agreed, is not pos
sible without live stock, the keep

Irrigation in Cuba

n law Has DCCH dIdIIGQ TOT SUD-
mission to the Cuban Congress to
provide for an appropriation of
| $500, 900 annually for term of four
years, to be invested in the install
lation of a number of small irriga-
ton plants in the tobacco district
of Pinar del Rio. 1t is expected
that this sum will annually provide
for the establishment of from 200 to
$50 small pumping plants and dis
tributing services.
This section produces the hie hest
grade cigar tobacco known to the
trade and is famous the world over
as the "Vuelta Abajo."
These plants will be planned to
supply the vegas" as the small
tobacco farms are called, and where
it is convenient TO do so number
of these vegas" will be grouped
and served by one plant. The
water will be obtained from a series
of wells and from small streams.
The actual cost of the small plants
to be put in on the vegas is to be
repaid in nine annual payments
beginning the second year after the
plants-by the "vegueros, or to-
bacco planters. The state will
charge no interest on the amount
invested, and as this fund is repaid
it will again be invested in similar
works. This system of irrigation
is to be employed in the vicinity of
the towns of Pinar del Rio, San Luis
and San Juan, where the nature of
the land and the absence of a fixed
supply of water in the rivers during
the dry season makes larger irri-
cation system impracticable.
President Gomez and Secretary
Emilio del Junco, of the Agricultur-
al Department, are working with in
terest to give the tobacco growers
the benefits of irrigation. AS soon
as it is possible it is planned to ex-
tend the service to other sections of
the island so that all the agricultur-
al districts will be materially assist
ed. AS Cuba is primarily an agri-
cultural country the benefits of this
work cannot be overestimated. In
the Remates district, which is far
Their west, large distributing sys-
tenn is to be constructed which will
supply an area OF about $4,000
acres with water.
An International Commission is
now making the preliminary investi-
cation, having begun its labors last
August. At the request of the
Cuban Government the United
States Reclamation Service recon-
mended Mr.. D. c. Henry, an en-
gineer long connected with that
service and widely known in the ir
rigation world, and the British
Government recommended Mr.. G.
H. Wigham, who has had years of
experience in Egyptian irrigation.
These two gentlemen, together with
Mr.. Eduardo Giberga, professor of
hydraulics and mechanics in the
University of Havana, graduate
of Lehigh University (1895) were,
upon the recommendation of Seere-
tary Emilio del Junco of Agricul-
ture, Commerce and Labor, ap-
pointed by President Gomez as
commission to make the basic
studies for Cuba's irrigation system,
and it was upon the recommends
ton made by Messrs. Henry and
Giberga that the law is to be passed
to provide for the small irrigation
plants first mentioned.
