NEW ONE BUCK LAW SAVES
MANY LIVES IN STATE
Conservation Commissions Report
Shows That But One Hunter Was
Killed by Mistake.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 9.-That only
one man IN the whole state was shot
and killed by hunter during the deer
season just closed was the report made
today by Commissioner Barber of the
state conservation committee. I'VE
have found numerous accidents where
a hunter has accidently shot himself,
but only the one case where a man
was mistaken for a deer or hit by a
stray bullet" he said, 1--WE also find
that the one buck law has worked out
successfully. We are getting daily re-
ports from our game wardens and thus
far have found only thirty eight does
killed. We also find that great ma
jority of hunters are in favor of the
law"

at an early date. at least within the
lives of the present youths of the com
monwealth. We have not yet develop
ed that pace.
We never will get right on this mat
ter of good roads until we get to
thinking in large figures. What cor
poration with million dollars of as
sets would hesitate at an expenditure
of $4,000 in Il needed equipment?
The lumber companies of the state
have made such investments in log
ging railroads, aud it has paid them
to do SO. Yet $50,000 is per cent of
their assets, just as $3.50, 900 is 5
per cent of the assets of the corpor-
alton known as the state of Wisconsin.
Who would hesitate to pay $40 per
acre more for farm in a region of
good roads than in one of miserably
poor ones? Yet that is much more
than per cent of the farm values of
the older portion of the state, and it
is more than the difference between
the cost of excellent roads and poor
ones. If one would pay greater diff
ference than the good roads cost in or
der to locate in community that has
them, why should he not be willing to
pay a smaller amount to get them?
Again, let it be said that it is not
proposed to either dig up" S15O,0 OO,-
900 tomorrow nor go into debt for it
but let's put up the scare crow of such
a debt and see how 1t would look. Be
fore the amount could be expended we
would have approximately 5000, 900
| people in the state. That would be a
debt of approximately $50 per capita
does that brighten anyone? AT per
cent it would mean an interest charge
of about 50 so per capita-does that
bring anything resembling a shudder
to the brave people of Wisconsin? Why
ak about good roads for some dim
and distant future-for the time of
hur grandchildren? We want our APP
ole now"
1t seems to us that there is but one
question involved in the whole good
roads proposition and that is: How
rapidly can they be built economically?
We have the financial ability to pay
cash for them if we like. or we have
the assets if we prefer to pay interest

more active community spirit is
pervading many of the small cities in
the country. That is well for more
reasons than one. 1t US a good thing
the idea is exploded that only large
cities have any need for such a spirit
or are entitled to it. Local patriotism
is just as much needed in a place of a
thousand or two as in one of hundred
thousand if it is to live and prosper
To be sure it is not the center of so
large population, nevertheless it is a
center and as such it is in duty bound
to do the best it can and be the best it
can, both for it's own sake and the ad-
joining territory to which, commercial
ly and otherwise it ministers.
Of course it is possible to foster a
community spirit that is mainly selfish
a spirit that concerns1tself solely with
the community in which it exists. But
that is a false spirit, destined in the
long run to work injuriously to the
place tnat gave it birth. The true COM
munity spirit is marked by wise loyal
ty, hearty cooperation, real support
of it's business men and of it's differ
ent institutions, and it can have aud
does have these features without III
any way seeking to run down other
places. which quite rightly, are seek
ing to advance their own good.

GOOD ROADS PAY
FROM MANY ANGLES
The Social and Educational as Well
as the Financial Side.

as the Financial Side.
Fine roads have a social value as
well as an educational and financial
return. Many farmer has multiplied
his visits to neighbors, friends and
relatives with the advent of the auto
and the improved highway.
One Wisconsin farmer who was never
in the habit of leaving his neighbor-
hood now travels ffty miles to town
of &C, 900 to do his shopping. He re-
Gently made trip bv auto to South
Dakota, the first time that he had ever
left his home county.
Good roads mean an increased use of
the country sohoO lhouse. The country
church may be revived by this means.
With the advent of good roads, picture
shows and entertainment features of
small towns will receive largely in
creased patronage from the country.
The horizon of che farmer will be
broadened He viii see more. He will
read more as his curiosity is whetted
by talking to more people. He will be-
come increasingly interested In the
world as he eplarges his association
with other people. New scenes stimu-
late the imagination and the desire
for improvement. The beautiful
lawn and the well-kept home in the
next county wilt become the object of
his envy and imitation.
Financially, the value of good roads
is even more patent. Actual figures
show that good roads cost IS cents to.
So per acre in localities where stone
highways have caused lands to APP
preciate from So to $40 an acre. A re-
turn of 400 or 500 per cent on an in
digious even by a Napoleon of finance.
1t is becoming an accepted fact that
good roads will transform country life.
They will cause an overflow of Che
city population into the country. Per-
haps no other community expenditure
yields so large return and in such a
variety of ways as roads.-Milwaukee
Journal.
The good roads situation is we'll out
lined in the above editorial. If we are
to get started on the proposition of
having roads BETTING the wealth and
financial ability of the state we must
get to thinking in large sums. In the
past we have been thinking as rail-
road company would that bought rails
by the pound, as manufacturer who
quoted nails by the dozen or a sugar
factory that sold sugar by the ounce.
We are q great state and we want
roads.
The wealth of the state is given as
approximately $4,000, 900, 000-it is in
fact much more than that, but we
will assume that that is correct. Five
per cent of that sum is $3.50. 900, 900
Good roads are admittedly a good in
vestment-a thing that is needed
thing that 1t pays TO have-that will
yield dividends 90 their cost. Would
anyone in his private business hesitate
TO invest to the amount of 5 per cent
of his capital in thing he needs, can
not well do without and that will pay
dividends on the investment?
1t is not assumed that the people of
the state shall go down in their peck
cts and produce $3.50 600, 900 at once
although they could do SO in cash any
minute-in fact have two or tksse
times that amount in the banks all the
time. Ii is only assumed that pace
n road building be taken that will re-
suit in most of our roads being good

FAIR BOARD MEETING.

The board held an interesting ses-
sion Saturday. Lovers of the racing
game will please take notice that
there are to be three County races. A
county trot and a County Free For
All 1rot or Pace on Wednesday and
a County Pace ON Saturday. Three
races should appeal to the horsemen
Of this county. In the Free For All
on Wednesday only horses without
track training are eligible. The
speed program carries $3.50 in
purses. There certainly will be some
ching doing to interest those who are
interested in racing.
Mr.. Maurice Miller was given
charge of an Athletic Contest to be
put on at 10 a. m. on Saturday. APP
propriate medals will be awarded. The
BOARD voted to put on a matinee June
23rd at the fair ground. The track is
i n good shape and is being kept ready
for trainers. There are a few horses
in training there now and plenty of
room for more. Children's day will be
Friday October LIST, age limit IA
years. Saturday September 2 is Sol
diers day. We have contracted for
one of the greatest free acts on the
market. The Flying Moors', celebrat-
ed trapeese artists, two performances
will be given daily. The premium list
has been revised and is now in the
hands of the printer. Will be ready
for you soon. The fair is instituted
not merely for amusement, but to ac-
eomplish great objects. Many do not
care to take the trouble of making
an exhibit but come to the fair to see
what a few have placed on exhibition.
1t is unfair to criticise the fair when
you have not performed your part in
making it a fair. There is one great
duty which l would impress upon
your minds at this time and that is:
That fairs are supposed to be educa-
tional and in order to make it so it
will be necessary to preserve, select
and bring together for the benefit of
others, the choicest productions of
orchard, farm, garden, dairy, house
hould and industrial skill, that we
my inspire others to go thou and do
likewise" There are possibly many
Fulton county farmers in the agricul-
tural rut, who could get out if the
fair meant opportunity to them. The
many good farmers of our county
should lend a hand, in making the
fair a fair.

STATE SPELLING BEE

At the State Spelling Bee last Fri
day, words were pronounced to coun-
ty champion spoilers for six long
hours, but the boys and girls from
the rural counties of Ohio, would not
"spell down."
Beginning with Governor Frank B.
Willis, who led off by pronouncing the
first words, orators wore out their
threats while sturdy boys and rosy
checked girls grappled with tongue
twisters and mastered them hour after
hour.
Desparing of spelling the boys and
girls down, the managers at 9 o'clock
resorted to a new method. They Sc
lected 100 of the hardest words to
spell and then had those still standing
write them down.
Claude C. Gossett, Of Highland
county, got 81 per cent. correct, and
won the state championship, a prize
of $50. The other prizes went as fol-
lows: Louis Kern, of Hooking coun-
ty, and Homer Jacobs, of Jackson,
500 each; Marion L. Cross, of Brown
county, $40; Louis Snedeker, of
Delaware, and Sadie Buchanan, Of
Morgan, each $3.50; Howard Thomas,
an eleven-year-old prodigy of Shelby
county, 81; Florence Stockard, of
Stark, Sc; Harold Cochran, of Madison
and Francis Daugherty, of Henry,
SIS each.
These were among the first words
on which participants stumbled and
were benched: "Desultory," "fla-
ment," fertilizer" boycott" "ab-
~horrence," "crystalize," "accomo-
date" "creosote" and Capitalize"
