Ridiculous Road Work.

''Take a firm stand" cries an adver-
tiser, against the costly road of mud
and demand the stone road" Good
advice, even if it does come from a
dealer in road making material. Year
after year the farmers who neglect this
advice are simply swindling them
selves. They know it, but they ''get
along" with repairs of the old fash
Toned kind because it seems to them
so much easier to pay for fixing
a bad road than to build good one.
1t is only easier and cheaper in the
same degree that an improvident buy
ing of coal by the pail is easier than
buying it by the ton. Of course it
is easier in any one day-but how fool
ish it seems when one comes to reckon
up the cost in the long run
There really ought to be a law
against the scraping up of sod and
slime from the sides of a highway and
throwing it into the middle as now
done over much of Dane county. One
half of the rural communities in this
state are fixing the roads in just that
way, spending nearly as much in five
years for this sort of foolishness as
would put down good macadam.
A durable road can be built in place
of every mud lane in the state by just
capitalizing the regular tax money for
five years or so in advance. Madison

THE biggest Fourth of July in Amer

where on the scene of the great battle
of fifty years ago, the veterans of both
north and south 40, 900 of them-are
expected to gather and have four
days jubilee. To receive them, the
government and the state of Pennsyl-
vania have made elaborate plans. One
detail alone provides for furnishing the
veterans more than 100000 meals.
Pennsylvania has been planning for
the celebration of the battle for more
than four years. She has appropriated
$415, 900 as her share of the expense.
Congress has appropriated $3.50, 600 to
defray the expenses of the govern
ment's participation, and named com
mission to help carry out the plans.
Every state and territory also accept
ed the general invitation to participate
and nearly all of them appropriated
money to transport veterans and COM
missions

IT is now 20 years since coke was
first manufactured in by-product ovens
in the United States. By this process
all the products of the coal are con-
served-first of course the coke, but
also large quantities of coal tar, am
monia, gas, and other constituents. 1t
is asserted that in the by-product coke
plants of the present day the by-prod-
ucts pay the cost of the process-that
is, the coke is a clear gain. The old
method of coke-making, by means of
the beehive oven, which is in fact still
largely in use, allows all these valuable
by-products to waste absolutely. The
first plant using the by-product or re-
tort type of oven was installed at Syr-
acuse, N. Y, in May, 1893 Twenty
years ago the only ammonia recovered
was in tins form of crude liquor run
ming from II to Is per cent ammonia.
Now coking plants are producing am
monia liquor ranging from crude
through the different grades required
for the manufacture of fiameless pow
der, etc., to the production of almost
chemically pure aqua ammonia, at one
operation. Still another marked de-
velopment in by-product oven practice
is in the adaptation of the surplus gas
to the illumination of cities and towns.
In the earlier days the ovens produced
only a small and irregular quantity of
surplus gas of varying quality. Today
by-product ovens in the United States
are selling from 40 to so million cubic
feet of gas day for Illuminating pur-
poses. Almost the entire supply of
gas in some cities is derived from re-
tort ovens.

THE fact that Tennessee could not
borrow $11, 900. 900 to pay state debt
now due; that North Carolina could not
borrow a smaller amount; that Gin
cinnati could not get single bid on a
city loan, and that Baltimore had to
sell her bonds at 80, surely indicates
among other things that the people are
beginning to think it high time for
"the powers that be" to borrow less
and economic more. At least we can
take that lesson to heart and not put
all the blame for the inability of the
states and cities to borrow money on
the scarcity of capital seeking invest
