was caused by defective base con-
struction, having been in many in
stances laid upon macadam streets.
We noticed that concrete curbing
in most cases was very unsatisfac-
tory, having been Clipped, cracked
and sometimes entirely broken.
We noticed where the amasite and
tarva were used on good base foun-
dation, it was in good condition af-
ter two or three years wear. We were
informed nothing but brick or blocks
would be sufficient along the curb
ing where horses were permitted to
stand and stamp upon the pave
ment. Upon our return to the office
of Mr.. Kennedy, we were met by Mr..
Hubbard, a contracting engineer,
who gave us some information re-
garding paving; he agreed with us
that brick was the proper paving for
Honsedale and suggested that it
should be laid upon concrete foun-
dation from five to six inches deep
with two inches of sand laid on top;

Mr.. Foster said our $4,000 or So

used at any time the work was ready
to go on. The Borough could select
any paving, and the state was ready
to give the state aid. The state,
however, would make the survey

The survey and specifications would
be made at the cost of the state

Wisconsin Has the Public Eye

The following from the Wisconsin
Farmer adds another to the many
stockmen of national repute who
have come to Wisconsin as the one
best chance for the stock industry:
The opportunities for stock-raising
in northern Wisconsin are so num-
erous as to attract the attention not
only of farmers and business men
living in the eastern states, but also
in the more thinly settled states of
the west. Among those who have
been attracted to the cut-over Sec
tons Of this state are many of prom
nence in business and manufacturing
circles George e. Parisoe, secretary
of the a-Lincoln-Denver Good
Roads Association is among the
number who intend to purchase
tracts of land in northern Wiscon-
sin and to develop them into dairy
or stock farms.

A state wide campaign has been
started to encourage the raising of

With many of the potato men Of

the most popular varieties, as they
are we'll adapted to the wide range
OF conditions to be found in the po-

standard varieties do equally we'll in
various sections and can be as sue

majority of the growers will coop

and give promise of abundant yields
In some of the red clay districts
growers are having considerable diff

disease, which, if not conrotlled, does
much damage. They are finding the
most effective remedy is to disinfect
the seed with formalin Pulling all
diseased plants also helps to prevent

when the crash came
Everyone on the stage went through

be more bodies in the wreckage. A
panic ensued among the 1000 or more
spectators and many were injured in
the rush.

that some Of this legislation would

and be prepared to introduce finished
