WEAK FEET AND ANKLES

Strong feet make a strong founda-
ton for a strong body. A very large
proportion of all people have weak
feet and ankles. One should be as
unconscious OF the sensation of dis
comfort in his feet as he is in h
hands; but few are so fortunate.
As rule shoes are not Well
adapted to their purpose Their ob-
ject should be to protect feet from
injury, wet and cold With too
many they are utilized to compress
. naturally useful and good looking
member into a deformed lump at the
lower end of the leg.
Normal ankles and feet do not
need to be splinted and supported
any more than normal wrists and
hands do. High shoes and ankle
braces weaken until they become
necessary after a time. Even weak
ankles ana feet can be strengthened
by exercise For other weakness one
doesn't willingly adopt a crutch per-
manently That is what is done when
high shoes are used to support chill
dren's ankles
Cold feet are due primarily TO shut

first gets 10 cents and the second
Is cents. Their total for selling 60
appIes at 8 for cents is 20 cents.
Another boy has so apples and sells
them for ) for 2and receives only

comes of the other cent. In both in
stances the number of apples sold
for ? cents is the same yet the total
amount received for the 90 apples
differs by l cent Why? When you

GOOD ROADS AND SCHOOLS

WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb 28-
The rural population is mere willing
to support better schools today than
at any previous time 1t is being rea
lied that all educational activities
or agencies must be more or less cor
related, and, more than all else, that
they must be made accessible to the
children. In many counties where
bad roads prevail, most of the
schools are of the antiquated one
room variety. They are usually locat-
ed along bad ROADS which, during
the winter, when the schools are us
ually in session, become so nearly
impossible as to make it difficult
for the children to reach them This
condition causes irregular attendance
and restricts the educational oppor
tunities of the child. Not only this.
but it often impe1es the economic
consolidation of these smaller schools
into larger, stronger graded schools,
with high school courses, directed
by a competent principal and corps
of teachers, according to the Office
Of Public Roads, u. S. Department
of Agriculture
On the other hand, in counties
which have improved their roads,
the schools are easily reached, the
aVpraoa attendance Craato, tn off
cheney largely increased and econo-
mic consolidation made possible Reg
ular attendance at school means con-
sistent and regular growth of both
school and pupil, and consolidation
of schools means a maximum of eff
cheney at a minimum Of cost. 1t is
also noteworthy that there is a mark
ed tendency for the consolidated
school to become the social and in
tellectual center Of the community.
Most modern rural Schoolhouses are
SO constructed as TO serve the com |
munlty AIS gathering places for |
various kinds of public meet nes, am |
where vans are used to convey the |
children to school during the day |
they are frequently pressed into |
service To haul the farmers and their |
wives to institute work lectures, or
at the schoolhouse.
The consolidated school becomes a
sort OF community center to which
all educational and social activities
and in order that it may
properly perform that function all of
highways leading to it should be so
improved as TO render ii readily &C
,essibIe throughout the year.

FARMING MADE ATTRACTIVE

Farming as national game IS
ent from those adopted when the
fat hers of the present day farm boys
learned it. II has been found that
country boys are eager to learn the
now plays" under competent coaches
for when skill, practice and dexterity
are necessary to win in a. contest,
then the game takes on new interest.
The seven county agricultural rep
resentatives of Wisconsin are, in
reality, trainers and coaches for the
growing generation who must play
the farm game to win and sometimes
against close competition While
aiding in every possible way the
farmers of mature age and experience
the county representatives are max
ing a special effort TO help the boys
and girls of the farms they visit in
the regular performances of their
duties.
4 special winter course for Lang
lade county boys will be given late
in February and early in March by
county representative, F. G. Swoboia
Proper weighing and testing OF
milk and the sanitary handling Of tht
product, will be among the subjects
taught.

the Inauguration of modern business
methods. While his belief in the
value OF the tax, railroad and indus
trial commissions, for instance, is
beyond a possible doubt. he asserts
that there are other boards and de
partments that can be consolidated
In this way he would increase effic-
iency and abolish duplication OF work
From study and from practical ex-
perience. Mr. Hatton has a firm,
broad grasp Of Wisconsin's problems.
What he says may be safely accept
ed as an expression of his honest
convictions He is, to be sure, a
candidate for the Republican nomi
nation for governor, but he is SO
little of a politician in the ordinary
acceptation of the term that those
who know him will not suspect him
Of saying anything merely 10 catch
votes OF of making promises that he
does not deem practicable and will
not be ready to carry out. 1t may
be taken for granted that he knows
what he is talking about and that
he means what he says.
The choice of a nominee for gov
arnor by any strong party is a mat
ter of vital public concern. This year
the choice of the Republican nomi-
nee for this office may either fac:l--
tate OF prevent a Tetrograde move
ment. The Journal does not hesitate
to repeat that in its opinion, Mr.
Hatton Is the best political asset
that the Republican party Of Wis
consfn can lay its hands on. He
is a thoroughgoing Progressive, but
is sane and practical He is man
of great experience in state affairs
and he is a man of uncommon, bus
ness ability. The nomination OF
Progressive Republican lacking in
experience and in business ability,
might work just as much harm IN
the emergency that confronts the
state as the nomination Of man
possessing business ability, but lack
ing in knowledge Of the state
problems and in Progressive ideals
To meet the situation the Progress
sive Republicans need a standard
| bearer who is in full sympathy with
them. but who, in addition, is famil-
/ lar with the states problems, knows
| how to solve them, and is capable
of recognizing the states business
and placing it on a sound, efficient
basis. Mr.. Hatton, We believe, pre-
eminently meets these requirements
In himself he would be a strong
platform on the question of saving
public funds, without injuring pub

WHO PAYS IN ADVANCE

SO dear to our heart is the steady
subscriber,
Who pays in advance of the birth
OF each year,
Who lays down the money and does
it quite gladly,
And casts round the office a halo
of cheer.
He never says stop it; l can not
afford it.

than | read"
But always says, Send it; our people
all like it
In fact We all think it a help and

How welcome his check when it

How it makes our pulse throb; how
it makes our hearts dance
We outwardly thank him; we inward
ly bless him

A CURIOUS ANOMALY OF
DIPLOMACY.

Bills are expected to pass in Con
greBs, providing for the raising OF
the United States legation in Ar
gentina to the rank of an embassy.
An ambassador is traditionally
supposed 10 be a personal represen-
tatiye of his sovereign He is suppos-
ed to be entitled TO the same direct
personal access to the ruler to whom
he is accredited, as his own sovereign
would be If present.
There is touch of absurdity, when
the governments of two republics use
these pretentious tags and labels.
They are supposed to have thrown
overheard the ornamental baggage o.
kings and emperors. Yet no doubt
It Is good business in this case. Ar
gentina is a great country, inhabitea
by proud and sensitive people. Nc
doubt it has hurt their self esteem
that they must do business with d
mere minister" when our govern
ment was sending abroad "ambas
sailors to other governments.
The objection has always been
made TO raising legations to ambas
sadorial grade, that the diplomat
bearing the bigger~title must launch
out on more elaborate entertaining
It used to be said that Ambassador
Reid spent $3.50 900 year maintain
ing his dignity in the artificial life

seem pretty Well agreed that some
thing must be done to give our am
bassadors and ministers more uni
