At the present rate of progress
Wisconsin will have continuous good
roads in about fifty years-if none Of
them wear out in the meantime.
Perhaps our grand children will have
what we have claimed to want for
years-good roads all over the state.
In the meantime the farmers of
the state will lose money by trying to
save it on road building. There is
no getting away from the fact that
millions of dollars are annually rep
resented in wear and tear upon team,
harnesses and vehicles owing TO poor
roads. Other millions of dollars are
lost in time spent in marketing crops
over poor roads. Still other millions
are lost in not being able to market
produce when good prices and poor
roads prevail at the same time.
We want good roads. Some of us
spend dollars worth of time arguing
whether we should invest fifty cents
or thirty cents per year in them
that is what the contest has amounted
to during the last year. The powers
that were, arranged for fifty cents
worth per capita per year, and the
powers that be, reduced it to thirty
cents worth. Ten dollars per capita
for five years would make all our
main travelled roads of macadam, and
fifty cents per capita per year would
keep them oiled. And we say we
want good roads.

AT MOSINEE.

After they rode DER the bridge,
He and she.
Oft in the dark they held hands,
Often he told her how much
Wealth he'd have,
In CATTLE in hogs and in lands
He'd look at she, and she'd
Look at he,
Happy as they could be,
But they're fixing the bridge.
So they can't go across and spoon,
Now at Mosinee.
Great inconvenience is caused to
the Mosinee people at the present on
account of the bridge being rebuilt,
but the thought of the great improve
ment it will make helps to cheer them
as they go along, doing circus stunt
over the planks and lodging the
structural iron work as it swings
around their heads; still, who cares,
as long as they miss, and should they
hit the mark, well-anyhow it will be
a dandy bridge and Mosinee folks will
find it quite an addition.
The writer was agreeably impressed
with the busy and prosperous air of
the town, at his visit last Saturday;
everybody appeared to be prosperous,
happy and healthy, but right here we
have a complaint to offer, we did not
know "war" had been declared until
we found our friend Lon Gardner in
the trenches; and just as we arrived
we were greeted with charge of
dynamite that made us feel as if our
last minute had arrived, but we can
report no casualties, and by the way,
our friend Duval is some "spiritual-
ist." How about that pepper?
When H. NJ. Kronenwetter gets
tired of listening to all of the chill
drentQ said "all," just nine of them,
not counting the company he turns
the photograph on; man should do
so in a case of this kind, for when
he has so many girls he must get
used to talking machines.
Well, we certainly can say that
Mosinee keeps ahead all the while,
and, lest we forget, before we close
this article, we would like to say that
there are many reasons why it should
come to the front, one of them is that
they all treat strangers courteously.
No matter where one maylenter, there
is spirit of hospitality which makes
him feel that he is among friends
If you have any doubt make this
growing and prosperous town of our
county a visit. Step into the post
office and ask the young lady in
charge whatever information is want
ed and you'll surely get it, for she is
politeness personified.
Mosinee merchants believe in up-to-
date methods, their stores are clean
and their stocks good. Keep it up, it's
good work.
Hip Hip Hurrah, we're glad to see.
You take example from the bee.
Team work does it, let all agree,
To keep a boosting for MoSinee.

DEATH OF CHARLES WEINFELD
Passed Away Monday Morning, October
IS, 1915, in Kansas City.

Word was received yesterday by
relatives and old time friends in
this city of the death of Charles
Weinfeld, of Kansas City. Mr.. Vein
field was citizen of Wausau for over
thirty years and during that time
was very active in business and social
affairs, and the sad news was re-
ceived with profound sorrow.
Mr.. Weinfeld was born in Sherwood,
town near Appleton, Wis, on the
4th day of April, 1872. He gradua-
ted from the high school in the lat
ter city and came to Wausau imme-
diately thereafter with his mother
and brothers. In 1885, he and his
brother Alex, started a news stand in
the post office when Valentine Ringle
was postmaster. This was so sue
cessful that they later secured the
store at the corner of Third and
Jefferson streets and opened book
and stationery store and news stand.
This was also very successful and af-
ter a few years they made a sale of
the business and erected a double
store building at 307-3O9 Third street
and opened a clothing store which
they conducted very successfully for
several years, and again sold out
their stock, retaining ownership of
the building.
Chas. Weinfeld then opened an in
surance office in the upper rooms of
his building in 1897, representing the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insur-
ance company of Milwaukee. He also
entered into the loan and real estate
business with H. H. Manson, which
was continued until the latter's
death, nearly two years ago. In 1911,
Mr.. Weinfeld was appointed general
agent of the Northwestern Co. for
this section of Wisconsin and from
that time, each year, until he was
transferred by the insurance COM
pany to Kansas City he led all agen>
cies of the company in this country
in the total amount of business done
and in the number of policies issued.
He and his family went to Kansas
City in January, 1915, Mr.. Weinfeld
to take the general agency for the
same company in that part of Mis-
souri,. During the fall of 1914, Mr..
Weinfeld passed through an operation
in Chicago to get relief from a
mastoid abscess. He passed through
another operation last Saturday morn
ing and later was stricken with brain
fever which caused his death.
He was united in marriage to
Johanna Stern of Chicago, on the 14th
day of June, 1909 He is survived by
his wife and little son besides three
brothers, Alex, of New Orleans; Sam
of Lima, o., and Emil of Eau Claire,
and two sisters, Mrs. Joseph Ullman
and Mrs. Joseph Kaffend, both of
Appleton.
The funeral will take place in
Chicago on Wednesday morning.
Moses Katz and Henry E. Smith leave
today to be in attendance.
