THE STORAGE WAREHOUSE IDEA


In the cost of diving problem, the
three elements are land, labor, and
distri button. Land in the United
States will never be cheap again.
Labor will never be cheap again.
But by putting American brains to
work on the problem of cutting out
waste motions and saving duplicate
profits, it ought to be possible
to counter balance at least in part
the higher cost of land and labor
The idea of erecting stora9e ware
houses, prim arily to supply the con-
sumers of an Immediately adjacent
neighborhood, is attracting wide at
tention. 1t is successfully worked out
in many localities now.
The farmer cannot usually peddle
food products from door to door. He
cannot spend his time going around
from one grocer to another, one prov
sion man to another, or one slaush-
ter house to another.
Meanwhile the people who live IN
the town lying nearest to his farm
are using the same products that
he raises. They buy them OF some
retail dealer who orders them from
some wholesaler At least two pro-
fits are paid, commonly more than
that Often the produce has been
hauled into some large city, and haul
ed out again.
The theory of the warehouse is
that many classes of farm products
from that immediate neighborhood
could be hauled into place where

ABOUT ROAD BUILDING

Ever since the meeting of the coun
ty board in November 1913, when Mr..
thirst the state highway engineer,
talked 10 the county board them in
session, [ have been aware that some
of those that heard him talk, mis-
understood him, when the water
bound macada1n road was under
discussion.
I did not know however that the
people had got SO far fnom the real
truth of the matter, until [ started
cut to buy stone, but when they com
menced to tell me that they thought
that the state and county would not
put in or allow any more crushed
stone roads, I began to think that it
was up to me to get this misunder-
standing cleared up In order to
get more light on the subject l de-
cided to ask Mr. Hirst to explain
his own talk, and in order that he
would know ian what way he was
misunderstood l sent him an article
published in one of our leading coun-
ty weeklies in the month of Deem
Der 1913.
Mr.. Hirst's answer to my appeal
follows:
Madison, Wis, March 4, 1914.
Mr. L. Amundspn,
Grand Rapids, Wis.
Dear Sir
I note from some of the clippings
in the Wood county papers that part
of my talk last November to the
Wood County Board has been miscon-
strued by the press.
The matter under discussion at
the time 1 made my remarks as to
macadam road surfaces was the
Grand Rapids and Marshfield road,
and 1 stated that for this road,
which, if it serves the purpose
intended, will carry a very heavy
automobile traffic as soon as com |
pIeted, we doubted whether the life |
d WdlGIDOlu1u 14CtCcSI1cllII 4OclO HOIAt
be more than six or seven years and
that we would not advise cOnstruc-
ton of water bound macadam on
through roads which would invariably
carry very heavy mixed traffic, but
that we would advise the county to
construct such roads of either vitri-
fled brick or concrete.
These remarks only applied to this
special road in Wood county. On an
ordinary road a waterbound maca-
dam surface will give excellent ser
vice. If maintained without any
bftuminous coating, such a road built
of limestone macadam, disintegrated
granite or local hard-heads VIII prob
ably give good service. on an ordi-
nary highway If ruts and holes are
as soon as they show up for
about ten years. At the end of that |
time the top course would have to be
and the road rerolled |
and finished at cost Of slightly |
over half the original cost Of surfac
ing.
If left entirely without repairing
a waterbound macadam road VIII Gus
tomarily need resuIfacing at the end
OF six or seven years.
# a waterbound macadam road is
well built and it is given surface
of oil, tars or asphalt,

struction, and these surface treat

We Belong

If You like the old town best,
Tell EN- so!
If you'd have her lead the rest,
Help her grow!
When there's anything to do.
Let the fellows count on you:
You'll feel bully when it's through,
Don't You know?
If you want to make a hit.
Get a name!
If the other fellows it,
Who's to blame?
Spend your money i'm the town
Where you pull the dollars down;
Give the mail concern a frown:
That the game!
If you're used to giving knocks,
Change your style!
Throw bouquets instead of rocks
For a while!
Let the other fellow roast!
Shun him as you would ghost-
Start mis- hammer on a coast
With a SmileI
When a stranger from afar
Comes along,
Tell him who and what We are;
Make it strongi
Needn't flatter-never bluff.
Tell the truth, for that s enough.

We belong! !

BATHING IN JAPAN.

Natives Wash Themselves Clean Before
Getting Into the Tub.
Partial accounts of the luxury Of a
japanese bath lead us to believe that
we have something yet to learn about
what is regarded by many in this coun-
try as a necessity and by more as
supererogation-in Japan the bath is
not only a necessity, but a delightful
recreation.
The Japanese have a way of their
own of taking a bath. They have a
system that in some respects resem-
bles that enforced at swimming pools
in this country. You must first wash
the body thoroughly, and then you en-
ter the tub, the water of which is
heated by an individual system. There,
If you are in a public bathhouse, you
may smoke and doZe and chat with
your friends in a dissipation that is
said to be exceedingly refreshing. The
water is kept hot, perhaps increases in
heat, and when you leave the tub it is
still regarded as fit for the next Gus
toner. In private house the master
anu hlStieoS may nave Lhtu bdtuS
first, and the same water serves for the
mvigoratiOn and diversion of the serv-
ants. The ignorant foreigner who
goes into the japanese tub for the pur
pose of cleansing his body and with
soap spoils the water for further use
is not only guilty of a social error, but
entails a hardship on the household, in
Guiding the servants.-Rochester Dem

Developing the Philippines

Consular reports from the Philip
pines tell OF the remarkable growth of
business OF selling motorcycles in the
archipelago According to advice re
ceived IN Washington. there was scarce
ly Filipino motorcyclist to be found
on the islands three years ago. Today
there are hundreds of them.
The consular correspondent at Manila
has also reported to the effect that IN
the past two years there has been an
increase of over $500. 600 in the i'm
ports of boots and shoes and other
articles of leather manufacture. 1t ap-
pears that the rising generation of
Fiipinos who are educated in the pub
lie schools are disposed to discard the
"chinela" worn by their parents, and
to adopt the leather shoes of American
and European design. The shoe mani
faturers are not. however monopoiiZ-
ing the business. The same process of
evolution that business had to undergo
in the United States has been king
place IN the Philippines. with the re
suit that boots and shoes are often
made by hand by Chinese and Filipino
cobbers But of late there has been q
noticeable falling Oft IN the demand
for handmade shoes, because the
younger generation ~ Fiipinos are in
sisting upon style in shoes. rhe hand
made shoe IS described as a sort of non
descript, and Is usually manufactured
from local tan leather, earabos hide
principally. which retains more or
less offensive odor and does not make
desirable shoes. Inc result has been
that most of the small dealers, who
tormery sold rNad made SHES. h4se
gone into handling the imported article
and cater to more discriminating
trade.
