am sending these questions out to each
member of the county board.
If you will be kind enough to ans

names. { simply. wish to know where
you stand in the road question. | ex-
pect to confer with the members of
the legislature from our county con-
corning highway legislature, and we
will be guided largely by your attitude.
IF we are to continue road work, it is
of vital Importance that we be not

Questions.
/. Do you consider the standard of
road work done in Kenosha county I'M
der the present law better or worse
than the work done under the old
county aid law?
2 Do you think that town chair
men would desire to have charge of
the work themselves or that it would
be beneficial if they did?
g. Do you think it would improve
the present law by creating a road
committee and give to :it~some control
of the plans and acts of the highway
commissioner and to report upon his
work to the county board?
4. Do you think it is just and right
for some counties to build and main
tain a system of highways and other
counties not to do likewise?
5. Can you suggest a better way to
induce all counties to do something
than by levying a nominal state tax

6. Would you have any serious OBJ

al state appropriation were cut down

........,.....s.,
Sup. of Kenosha County.
Answers.
/. As 1enosha county never con-
structed any highways under the old
county aid law there can not be a
comparison.
2. I do not think town chairmen
desire to have charge but believe
would be beneficial to have them act
in advisory capacity with the county
highway commissioner for the reason
that where this course has been fol-
lowed results have been most satisfac-
tory to the taxpayers.
8. It might be if county was un-
fortunate in having an incompetent
highway commissioner, unless such
committee would serve withouC COM
pensation.
4. The people of county usually
know whether it is to their advantage
or not to build highways for the rea-
son that intelligent people never stand
in their own light since every one of
them know the benefit of good roads.
5. We do not believe in handing
out bats to any county at the expense
of the state at large.
6, Yes, I believe that county
should not be hampered by state leg
islation forced or limited to the amount
that the county feels it should expend
as determined by its county board.
Z. Control first, for without good
county supervision and the assistance
of town boards, unhampered by the
state highway commission you can not
expect a dollars worth of good roads
for dollar in money.
s. We do not, for the simple reason
that each and every county have a

Another Flag "Take of"

 "When Jack or Harold come home tired from the works, they are often irritable. Why? Because they know exactly what you are going to serve l them for dinner and exactly where! Vary the monotony, not only in your meals but in the places they are serv- ed. 1 think you will find it is a well come change to the dear boys to find, instead of the usual dinner table, that you have used your imagination-and after all, what is imagination for?- and have spread the tablecloth on the lounge! You have no idea what a surprise this simple touch will be. You say, how in the world did I ever think of anything like that? I say nonsense! You could think of it your self Tiff you put your mind on it! I am no cleverer than the rest of you, simply take time and think these things out.
 Another way is to spread a cutting board over the bathtub and set your table here. Your reward for these little thoughtful acts will be bright smile and heightened color on Jacks or Harold's face, sly squeeze around the waist, and, maybe, after dinner he will take you to a lecture on Are tic Nights at the Natural History Mu- seum."

KING OF ENGLAND
 APPEALS TO SUBJECTS
Urgent in Request That Men of Country Come Forward Vol untariIy to Assume their Pro- portion of the Fighting.

London, Oct. 22.-King George has issued an appeal to his subjects to come forward voluntarily and aid Great Britain in her fight against the Germanic allies. More men and yet more," the monarch says "are wanted to keep up armies in the field and through them to secure victory and en-, during peace"
 The message of the king fC"ows:
 "To my people at this grave mo- ment in the struggle between IT, peo- pie and a highly organized enemy who has transgressed the laws of na- tions and changed the ordinance that binds civilized Europe together, I ap- peal to you.
 "I rejoice in my empires efforts and l feel pride in the voluntary re- sponse from my subjects all over the world who have sacrificed home and fortune and life itself in order that another may not inherit the free em- pire which their ancestors and mine have built.
 "I ask you to make good these cas- rifices. The end it not in sight, more men and yet more are wanted to keep up armies in the field and through them secure victory and an enduring peace.
 "In ancient days the darkest mom- ent has ever produced in men of our race the sternest resolve. 1 ask you men of all classes to come forward voluntarily and take your share in these fights. In freely responding to my appeal you will be giving your sup port to your brothers who for long months have nobly upheld Great Bri- tain's past traditions and the glory of her arms.
