State Highway Commission
to Have School For Road
Builders at Madison.
WILL SHOW ROAD MACHINES

The Wisconsin Highway Commission
announces that the Third Annual Road
School of the Commission will be held
at Madison, Wisconsin, starting Mon
day, February 8, and continuing
through the 10, II, IL, and 18th, 1914
The commission has decided to hold a.
five day meeting this year to give more
time for the proper discussion of the
topics which must be touched upon,
and to allow the county highway com
mlssioners and machinery committees
more time to inspect machinery and
gain information from other delegates
The program of this meeting will be
especially arranged to meet the prac-
teal problems which present them
selves to the county highway commits
sioners and foremen, and we believe
that every county highway commits
sloner and every foreman should get
from this meeting information of much
value to himself and to his county.
. Indications are that the exhibit of
the two previous sessions, will be even
larger this year than heretofore, and
this exhibit will give purchasing com
mittees an opportunity to inspect prac-
tically all of the machinery in the
western market for use in road con
struction. This exhibit is made by the
various companies, and is not under
the auspices of the state highway com
mission, although the exhibition is held
at the same time as the road school for
the convenience Of all concerned.
A discussion of prices of machinery
and methods of purchasing, and of
the relative merits of steam and gaso-
line power, methods of hauling, and of
various types of machinery will be a
feature of this meeting and it is be-
lieved that every purchasing commit
tee can obtain information worth to
the county much more than the cost of
the trip to Madison.
1t is probable that the Madison ho-
tells, as usual, will be well filled, and all
those who expect to attend will save
themselves much Inconvenience if they
win Immediately make their reserva-
lions at the hotels. For their con-
venience list of the hotels in Madison
is as follows: Park, Madison, Capitol.
Cardinal. Fess, Sherlock, Avenue,
TRIUMPH, Simons. Reservations can be
made by letter to the manager of any
OF these.
The machinery discussion will be hell
on Thursday, February 9th, 50 that
committees may make their reserya-
tens accordingly.

Rooms With Opening Of New Year.

All Of the schools Of the city resum-
ed session today after the long Christ
mas vacation and as has been custo-
mary with the opening of the new term

Der Of students with the re-opening to-

serious problem to the teachers and Of
ficials of the school board. Great care
is to be taken this week in watching
the health Of the children as long holt
day vacations have frequently brought
olidemics of disease and the schoc! and
health officials will make every possible
effort to eliminate any diseased child
rem from the school rooms.

Anti-Liquor Leaders Hold
Conference in Kenosha to
Boost Prohibition Party
SMALL NUMBER At MEETING

Resuscitating the prohibition party
in Kenosha county seems to be a favor
lite pastime with the state and district
officials Of the party and an all day
conference was held at Park Avenue
M. E. church today with view of get
ting some get up and get into the mem
bers of the party in this county and
the surrounding territory. William c.
Dean Of Madison, state field manager
for the prohibitionists, was on hand to
arranged for the day. At ten O'Clock
this morning Mr.. Dean met a small
company of the faithful members of
the party and discussed plans for get
ting some action for the union of the
foes of the liquor traffic in the county.
Especial emphasis was given to the
nation wide campaign that is being
planned with view of securing prohi-
bition through the action of congress.
kenosha county is one of the first
counties in the state in which this big
movement was started and some wor..
has already been done along the line of
securing pledges from voters. The lead
ers in the prohibition movement seem
to have a greater hope than they ever
had before and small crowds at the
meetings does not in any way seem to
Interfere with zeal in fighting for
the cause. Manager Dean promises to
go to all the larger cities in Wiscon-
sin during the next few months. This
afternoon the work Of the party was
made more popular by the giving of a
concert at The church at which time a
program was. rendered by The Clarions,
famous Indiana musical organization.
A small crowd turned out for the con-
cert and it was followed with another
conference to take up plans for the
work in the county. The prohibition
party is still hopeful that some time
Kenosha will be prohibition territory.
The conference today had nothing to
do with the coming spring campaign
and the question of a no license cam
paign was not taken up in any way.

considerably below an adequate return.
Rates are Considered.
3'To bring the revenues to the point
where they would yield such return
for 1912, for instance, it would be
necessary assuming no decrease in
traffic, which is very unlikely-to es-
tablish the basic rate at about 2.75
cents per passenger mile When the
conditions prevailing on the interurban
systems are considered as indicated by
the passenger density per car mile, in
ereasing only from 200 in 1908 to 2.13
IN 1913, it seems best to place the rate
at a lower figure than the cost of serv-
ice would demand so as to encourage
the passenger density with this lower
rate to increase sufficiently to bring the
revenues to the point where they will
bring an adequate return above all ex-
penses. 1t should also be stated that a
rate Of 2.75 cents per passenger mile
would result in large number Of in
creases upon the entire system, while
q rate of two cents, although increas-
lrg certain low rates, reduces consid-
able number and thus equalizes the
conditions on a more satisfactory
basis

CHAPTER V.
The Accusing Handwriting.

A few days later, Andre Calesse,
clean-shlven, well-groomed, and
shining like a new penny, rode
through the Bots on his way to
business. He was thinking of the
emotion his wife had shown when
she had met Velizay.
"She knew him in Calcutta" Of
that | am sure" he muttered. bah
She is getting unbearable. She is
too domineering. Pm weary of her,
and she must go. Whatever was it
that made me invite that fellow to
the house? | don't understand it

He tipped the branches of the
trees with his riding-crop and dug
his spurs into his horses TANKS. At
10 o'clock he arrived at his office.
On the door was a handsome brass

The salesman who makes the

Fellowship Brotherhood.
IHC oibSl VI the United C0m~
mercial Travellers of America is
a fraternity Of gallant gentle
men.
The word united suggests one
of the greatest words in the
English language
1t means friendship, union, mu-
tuality, a banding together-co-
operation. 1t implies action, the
concurrent striving together for
the attainment OF certain OBJ
jects.
OF this cooperation is born
fellowship. And such organiza-
tions as the order of the United
Commercial Travellers of America
lift this fellowship from casual
acquaintance to intimacy and
brotherhood that makes for cour-
age. sanity and success.
This fraternity and intimacy
are not limited TO society or So
cial functions.
1t permeates the whole range
Of commercial activities and en-
ters into the business life of the
whole nation.
At one time business was
besting game It has evolved
from a system of piracy and cut
throat competition to one of CO.
operation and emulation.
True, there is rivalry existing
between big business men to-day,
but it is the healthy rivalry that
tends to all-around efficiency.
Commercialism used to be an
epithet flung at the heads of
business men who, through ear
nest striving and application of
effort, brought their ideas to
fruition
Estheticism is anemic. It is
the business man, the commercial
traveller with the red corpuscle
turkey trotting through his veins
who is robust and useful
No class OF men are better
psychologists, better citizens than
they
The success of the genus homo
depends on his homogeneousness.
And the Order of the United
Commercial Travellers of Ameri-
ca is which and the same.
The commercial travellers are

but by force of personality back
