VAST SUM FOR HIGHWAYS
State viii Spend About $3,eoo,ooo on
Construction Work Next
Year.

Madison.-About $3,600,000 will be
spent in the construction eff highways
in the state next year. In letter to
the division engineers and county
highway agents in the state, A. R..
Hirst, state highway engineer, says
that indications are that state aid
will be more than called for again
this year" He urges that the counties
and towns keep down the appropria-
tions so that the aid will not overreach
a total expenditure of $3,600,000. The
state has already appropriated $780,
900 as its share of state aid for next
year.
Mr.. First's statement that the total
appropriation for state highway aid
made will be utilized is indicated by O.
statistical table, which he encloses in
tho letter to the division engineers.
He has received replies from 667
towns, of which 421 voted taxes this
year, which is 63 per cent Of the total
towns heard from. OF the tota, num-
Der voting taxes 325 voted taxes both
years; forty-seven voted taxes In 1914
but rot in 1913, and 100 voted taxes
in 1913 but not in 1914. OF the same
towns reporting in 1913 aid to the
amount of $3S5,90S was voted lasc year
as compared with $327,766 this year,
or a reduction of $5S,142. The per-
centage of 1913 taxes voted by the
same towns in 1914 is over 80 per cent,
according to the records of the state
highway commission.

WI. LEAGUE TEAMS READY
Presence of Five New Managers In
Circuit Make Predictions on
Outcome Uncertain.

Green Bay.-Witll the opening in
the Observation-Disclosures league only a
few days off, the managers of the
eight clubs are preparip 10 get their
strongest combinations ready for the
initial combats. From the dope 1t is
a little hard to figure out how the
clubs will line up FOR the race, due to
the fact that only three old managers
ere left and nearly every team has
lost through sale or draft one or more
of its stars of last season. The teams,
however, that appear strongest on pa.
per represent Oshkosh, Green Bay
and Marinette- Menominee.
The old pilots who will lead clubs
in the WI. circuit again in 1914 are
Joe Killian, who won two remnants
with the Oshkosh club: Bobby Lynch,
whose Green Bay club finished ia
third place last season, and Harry
Bay, the Madison clubs leader, who
set q hot pace after getting acquaint
ed with the league during tle last
two months of 1913. The new mana.
gers were taken from the ranks of last
year except in one case, that of Geo
Bubser, who is to lead the Wausau
club. The other men who will have
their trials at managerial tasks are
"Red" Wickenhofer of the Marinette
Menominee club, Frank Reynolds OF
the Racine Bellies, George Brautigam
of the Appleton team and Orville
Wolfe of Rockford
From all the facts that can be OBJ
tanned from the training camps of the
eight clubs no one will have a walk.

TRY CAKES WITHOUT SUGAR

Make the Popular Morning
Elalnty Too Heavy.

When preparing griddle cakes 1t is
mistake TO add much IL any sugar, as
sugar Is believed to make them heavy.
They do not rise quickly If much
sugar is used. A liberal measure Of
baking powder should be used, how
ever, because this kind of cooking has
to bs quickly done. The cakes must
rise and cook before they are brown
enough for serving.
A couple OF spoonfuls of the corn
meal in place of an egg are often used
by economical housewives, who de-
clare that the difference cannot be
detected. More than one or two eggs
are apt to make an ordinary wheat
griddie cake tough. Eggs should be
literally used in the French and Ger
man cakes that are very very thin
and either rolled up or soaked with
fruit juices, because they require a
batter that is cohesive. Ordinary grid
die cakes, that are, Of course, much
thicker, are better for crumbling or
breaking apart easily when touched

ONE EYE HELD OF NO VALUE
Loss Is Not Cause for Damages if
Victim Can Hold His Job, Says
Supreme Court.

Madison.-Impairme of vision by
an accident, when it does not cause
the injured person loss of employment
in the work in which he is then en-
gagged, is not reason for giving him
a large award under the workmen's
compensation act, the supreme court
holds. 1t reversed an award of the
industrial commission to Ernest Koe-
mig, an employee of the International
Harvester company, when it found
that even with the loss of an eve the
man could get steady work as drill
press operator, his trade.
The commission had awarded Koe-
Mig compensation of between 81 and
So a week for fifteen years, declaring
that his blindness would make 1t more
difficult for him to get work and that,
therefore, he was entitled to this
amount.

There is one duty that once
understood can hardly be neg
lected. Any material known
to contain germs of disease
should be disposed of immedi-
ately' so that no flies may
come In contact with it. in
the large cities this has been
largely effected through the
installation of modern systems
of sanitary drainage. In the
Smaller towns and villages,
where no sewerage systems
exist, this can be accom-
plished by the use of the sani-
tary privy. This, however, is
only partly successful. The
ideal method would be to rid
a place of flies altogether by
destroying their eeding
places. The horse manure of
stables can be so handled and
treated as to kill all the eggs,
the larvae and the pupae
found IN them. If these were
totally destroyed no flies could
possibly exist
The individual citizen must
protect his own house against
the entrance Of the fly.
Screening is the best method
