Vote on State Aid This Spring.

The towns in Wisconsin at their
meetings this spring will have an OPP
portunity to vote whether they will
build any roads or bridges in 1913 under
the new State Aid law.
The law provides that If town
wishes to vote tax of $500 or over,
the county shall provide an equal
amount and the state an equal amount.
This money is to be spent in perma-
nently improving either by stoning,
crawling or grading, as is voted by the
electors of the town, portion of the
county system of highways lying with
in that town, which portion is also de-
termined by the electors of the town.
If bridge improvements are voted,
the minimum tax is $3.50, to be met by
an equal amount from the county and
one-half as much from the state. The
bridges built must be on the system of
highways within the town voting the
money.
The new law gives towns the oppor-
tunity of getting aid from villages and
cities for building those main Travelled
highways which are the greatest bur-
den upon the town. The cities and vii
lagos are also benefited by the greater
ease of travel and the consequent In
crease in business and social activity.

More Interurban Promises.

Madison Democrat: After a suspen-
sion of several months, work on the
new Madison-Portage and Madison
Prairie du Sac electric railway lines
will be resumed as soon as weather
conditions prove favorable, according
to an announcement issued Thursday
by the local office of the Chicago &
Wisconsin Valley Street Railways COM
pany According to present plans,
work will be started about April Is,
when it is thought that the frost will
be entirely out of the ground. At the
present time, lines have been extendsd
to the city limits of Madison and Port
age, and forces will be put at work at
both ends the middle of next month.
The work has been divided into six
sections, including lines from Madison
to Portage, with branch lines; Middle
ton Junction to Prairie du Sac; Madi-
son to GAINESVILLE; Portage to Stevens
Point; Stevens Point to Wausau, and
Wausau to Merrill, and two power
plants, one probably to be constructed
at Middleton Junction and the other
will probably be located at Wausau.
The line connecting Madison and
Portage, including branch roads ex-
tending around the lakes, and the road
connecting Middleton junction with
Prairie du Sac, and the power plant for
the southern district includes the work
outlined for completion by the company
during the present year. During the
year 1913 the company will build the
lines from Madison to GAINESVILLE and
from Portage to Stevens Point and will
erect a power plant at Wausau to sup.
ply power for the northern section.
The following year the remainder OF
the work outlined by the company viii
be completed, according to the man
ager of the Madison end of the work.

Attendance at the Rural Schools.

Reports on the attendance of schOl-
ars in the schools of the county have
been sent to the county superintendent
showing the attendance of the scholars
for each day until quite recently. Some
interesting facts are to be learned from
these reports, as they show very clear
ly where there is good school spirit
and interest in the district. In many
districts the attendance has been very
good, and quite a number of scholars
did not miss a single day, in spite of
the severe weather and bad roads. In
a few schools the attendance has been
poor, often showing that the people
were not aware of the Importance of
regular attendance, which is so neces-
sary, not only to do good work in the
school, but also to form right habits
and good character. Where children
are absent much care is taken to find
out whether they have legal excuses
for their absences. If they have not
their parents are warned that the chill
dren must be kept In school regularly.
In most cases this warning is sufficient
to secure better attendance. But it
the children are still kept out when it
is not necessary to do so, then the cases
have been reported to the sheriff and
district attorney, as we'll as to the state
industrial commission, as required by
law. These officials have taken up a
number of these cases recently. I'm
less the law is complied with arrests
will follow. In one case where the
father has come. and promised to keep
his boy in school regularly hereafter,
the warrant for the fathers arrest
(which is now in the hands of the
sheriff. is being held back to give the
father a chance to redeem himself. No
man can live for himself alone, he has
duties and responsibilities to others. If
he fails to perform those duties the
law rightly steps in to enforce tire
rights of others. That is the purpose
of the compulsory education law, which
requires that each child between the
ages of seven and fourteen years in
the country districts shall be enrolled
during the first month of school, and
shall thereafter attend regularly for at
least one hundred twenty days in each
school year. This is making the school
work stronger and better in those dis
tricts where the people are enforcing
the law.

Larger Crops Mean More Profits.

Every farmer can grow from % to
100 per cent bigger crops and at the
same time increase the value of his
farm. Nearly all farms need ground
limestone for correcting the acidity or
sourness of the land, and ground rock
phosphate for supplying the plant food
element, phosphorus, to the crops. We

is filler goods, and to be just right it
this crop. The color is all right, and SO
far as can now be determined, it is all
right in every other respect. The late
damp weather has prepared tobacco
for stripping, and the growers who
have not already done this work are
hard at it now. The buyers can afford
to be somewhat more exacting than
before, and do not have to buy until
they can examine stripped tobacco, and
it gives them the chance of seeing
whether the stripping has been clean
or otherwise.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, March 10, 1912.
Tobacco growers in Suf1eld, Windsor
and other Connecticut towns are put
ting glass over their seed beds to draw
out the frost, preparatory to sterilizing
the soil. Despite much mflder wealth
er, the frost is from three to four feet
deep in the Connecticut valley, and an
early start of plants is not looked for.
Moreover, the number Of growers who
are Indifferent to an early start is in
creasing annually, as careful compari-
son of results has demonstrated that,
generally speaking, late crops fare
fully as we'll as early ones, and that
while they may encounter frost in
September, they also escape serious
damage in early hail storms.
From one end of the tobacco belt to
the other plans to increase the acreage
of the weed are being announced daily.
In Sufield, Conn, the largest tobacco
growing town in New England, the in
crease will be upward of 800 acres, or
about 10 per cent.
