BOARD GRANTS PAROLES
State Reformatory as Soon as
+ Employment is Found.

Green Bay-Twenty paroles were
granted to inmates of the state re-
formatory by the members OF the
state board of control at a recent
meeting.
Employment for those freed must
first be found, and other preliminaries
must also be transacted, before they
can leave the institution. Two men
are employed by the state seeking po-
sitions for the boys who are paroled
from the reformatory, but the scarcity
of work has made it difficult for them
to place eligibles.
At present there are about a dozen
youths waiting in county iails through
out the state. to be taken to the re
formatory. The crowded condition of
the institution has made this neces-
sary. 1t is believed that this surplus
can be cared for as soon as the paroled
hoys are allowed to leave the reforma-
tory.

SUGAR INDUSTRY THRIVING
Twenty-eight Counties Yield Beet Crop
Valued at $370,943-Growers
on Increase.

Madison.-A report has been sub
mitted to the state board of agricul-
ture, showing that sugar beets worth
70,943.60 were grown by farmers in
twenty-eight counties in Wisconsin.
The report was made by J. A Brooks,
sugar beet expert of the Domestic Su-
gar producers, who has just completed
a 'urvey of the industry in Wisconsin.
There were 2,077 beet growers in
Wisconsin last year and they harvest
cd $500 tons of sugar beets, the re-
port states. This year the number Of
growers has increased to 3,133 with
1871 acres compared with 6.O95 acres
last year.
According to- the report only one
factory operated in Wisconsin last
year. this being located at Menomonee
Falls The factories at GAINESVILLE,
Madison and Chippewa Falls we're
closed.
The marked increase in acreage this
year is explained by the report as be-
ing due to the European war cutting
off the foreign supply and the two fac
tories at Madison and Chippewa Falls
opening again.

NORTHERN ROADS

Chief Engineer A. R. HirSt Gives
Opinion After Tour.
HIGHWAYS IN SOUTH POOR
Says the Sixty-Five-Mlle Stretch In
Ashland County Is Excellent tor
Automobile Tratfe-other
Long Roads.

Madison.-Roads are much better in
northern Wisconsin than in the south
ern sections of the state. according to
Chief Engineer A. r. Hirst, who has
just returned from a two weeks in.
spection tour in the upper region. In
Ashland county. he said. is a single
stretch Of 65 miles of road over every
foot of which automobiles may be safe
ly driven at high speed. Other long
stretches, he said, are found in various
northern counties, eight, ten and even
twenty miles of finished roads without
a break
This condition, Mr. Hirst said. is due
to the fact that many of the northern
counties have adopted the county sys-
tenn in place of the town system. These
counties are Douglas. Bayfield,, Sawyer
Ashland. Iron, Oneida. Villas, Florence,
Wood and Chippewa. Several others
are to adopt the system next year.
In the southern section the only
counties to adopt the county plan are
Milwaukee Richland and Fond du Lac.
All the other southern counties retain
the barbaric town system. which spells
Patchwork little stretch OF good
road here, little there, with mudholes
in between. In view OF the old high
way adage that mo road is better than
its poorest spot" the folly of this sys-
tenn is apparent.

ton Of the state week before last and
said he found the state aid work in
that region in satisfactory condition.

Speaking OF the 65-mile stretch of fin
ished road in Ashland county, MIR.
Hirst explained that 1t is maintained
under the patrol SYSTEM The road is
divided into sections. One man. who
~ conveniently located, is charged
with the duty of looking after the
maintenance of each section and is
well paid for the service.
All together. MIR. Hirst said. there
are 10 miles of state aid highway in
Ashland county. and the people there
are proud of the fact.

tion OF the legislature to place any ad-
ditonal burdens upon our industries in
the enactment of the compensation
law. 1t simply intended to provide
means whereby employers might pay
the money they were expanding for
protection against liability for acct

employer this act did not increase his

to tighten it,"
