The doctor, by an operation could have
prolonged its life but he did not and the

it to go. In all nature, the weak, the

battle and perishes. In this way the

for the feeble minded, the lame, the

How much more interesting and val

who invented the thing, yet we know
that civilization has rolled to it's present

as we'll as unfortunate, that in ancient
times many of things which marked the

trivial and not worth recording. His

We welcome the change that promi-

is marked tendency of historians to

scientific progress of a nation and con

TIE Conn fy Board and tie
r Dad Question

When the county board of supervisors
met for the November session, the
members expected to discuss the road
question but more problems arose than
ever dreamed. The towns of Reeds
burg, Delton, Spring Green and Green
field presented some queer problems and
ones that would puzzle the ablest
lawyer. Then, too, there were the
overdrafts and other knots difficult to
unite. These have not all been settled
and will prove interesting topics of
conversation in all the bailiwicks in the
county until the board meets in Janu-
ary. 1t is to be hoped the committee
of five will be able to clear up some of
the uncertainties. They have an inter
esting case to keep them busy.
Some persons go so far as to make
the assertion that much money has been
wasted in building good roads. Such
statements should be made with
caution. 1t should be Remembered
the grading has been done, the culverts
built and the foundation in most cases
is not impaired. The county board has
wisely decided to expend $50, 900 next
year on the roads already built. 1t has
been found there is no such thing as a
permanent road and that the surface
constantly must be renewed. Keeping
everlsstingly at the repairing means
good roads in the true sense.

Lack ofNgStem

A great deal of money is being spent
and vast amount of work is being
done to improve the roads of the
United States and, of course, some ex-
cellent results are being obtained, but
the work lacks system. There is Meth
er state nor federal plan for uniformity
of construction. 1t is going ahead in
the same old way without plan, method
of system. It is a tremendously ex-
pensive way to do and the good accom-
plished is not lasting. Marinette Eagle
