The Illinois Central Railroad, one
of the bitterest foes of union labor in
Chicago, has introduced another plan
by which they hope to lop off oper-
ating expenses and declare larger
dividends.
Yesterday at the 57th and 6Oth st.

punchers were placed at work. They
were both formerly employed by the
road as ticket agents. They say their
pay has been increased for accepting
the new jobs. But they are receiving
less money than the men whose
places they have taken.

experiment and that if the plan is a

GOOD ROADS
AND PROGRESS

Finda community of good roads and
you find prosperity. The two condi-
tions seem to have an affinity for
each other. In passing through such
communities you will note that the
buildings are painted, the yards are
clean, harvests are larger, the herds
are better and all the conditions de-
noting progress are in evidence. 1t
will be apparent that the farmers of
such communities are making larger
income than in the regions character
lied by poor roads.
A study of the road situation will
raise in the mind of the traveller the
question whether in the final results
the roads really cost the farmers any
thing or not financially as
well as in comfort they are net bet
ter off with than without improved
roads. 1t is said that good roacs cost
lot of money, but SO does nourish-
ing food-yer the worker is better
off for using it, for his additional
earnings are more than the difference
between the cost of good food and
poor. May this not also be true of
roads?
Good schools cost more than poor,
and yet we all advocate having the
best of school advantages. Good
homes, good stock and every other
good thing on the farm has a value
asiue from itself in that it stirs the
farmer to better work all along the
line. Shall we make an exception of
roads? Surely good road adds to
the value of the farm it passes as well
as does good buildings-it is part of
the farmland mighty good invest
ment.
Some people seem to think that the
automobile driver is the one interested
in &c cd roads. But the man with an
automobile can go over almost any
kind of road. He doesn't need to
worry about his team--at the worst
he uses little more gasoline and
oil-and swears little, perhaps but
that is all, except that he sympathi-
yes with the families living on such
roads, But what about the farmers
tesms that have to go welterlng
through the mud holes? What about
the isolation and lonesomeness of such
homes-saying nothing about losses tC
the farmers? Let's get out of the in
tellectual and social, as we'll as the
physical mire, by having good roads
and them soon.

OVER $40 PER ACRE FOR CLOVER
SEED.

On his farm in Shawano county Will
liam Alderman threshed II bushels of
clover seed from 81 acres Glover seed
is quoted on the Chicago market at
$12 to $40 per bushel At the lower
price this means $40 per acre for the
seed, at the higher price il means
500. so per acre
To get the real meaning of this we
have to consider that this field also
yielded crop of hay or several
months of pasturage and thai the crop
was benefit to the land, also that
there was some value in the threshed
clover.
The usual value of the corn crop
grown on the 5000 to $500 per acre
land of the middle west ranges from
$25 to $35 per acre with ten times the
labor that was involved in the clover
seed CROP ten dollars or more extra in
interest on the investment and a heavy
draft on the fertility of the land.
Which is better? Or is there any
question about it?
WiscOnsin's average of AZ bushels of
oats per acre against the countrys
average of 376 reads good Such are
the governments figures.
Now is good time to make vigor-
Gus use of the road drag. Get the
roads smooth and the roadbeds as dry
as possible before winter and they
will come out in better condition in
the spring and be easier to keep in
condition during the summer.

BUT ONLY A DREAM.

During the summer months millions
upon millions of the city people will
rush off to the country for their two
weeks of vacation. They will work
hard at play spend their money, and
go home dead tired to face another
year of hard work.
But suppose they varied the pro-
ceedure for one summer as an expert
ment. Suppose each vacationist spent
the two weeks on some farm where
labor is scarce, and men are hard to
get, and crops are light or wasted be-
cause there are not enough men to till
or harvest them.
A couple of weeks of moderate work
on farm would be vastly more bene-
fetal to health than the same period
spent in tearing around doing nothing
And millions of dollars of additional
produce would be added to the store in
the warehouses of the country, the
wealth of the land would be enhanced,
Drawn and muscle would be hardened,
brains would become clarified, and
humanity would be elevated.
of course it is only dream and will
never be realized-but then dreams
are often sweeter than the reality.

MOTION PICTURES
IN THE SCHOOL

The most unique motion picture cir
cults in Wisconsin are owned and
operated by the state itself. They
deal exclusively in films and stereopti-
con slides of an educational nature
and serve an organized chain of pub
lie schools, and other civic and cultural
centers. AS result of the states free
service to the schools, the teaching of
history. geography, hygiene and other
subjects by aid of the movies is demon
strating it's value so conclusively that
the bureau of visual instruction of the
Extension Division of the University
of Wisconsin, is rapidly becoming a
unique educational instrument of the
state
Seventy-eight public schools and
other centers throughout the state
have motion picture machines of their
own, xty-three of this number having
been equipped during the past year
In addition there are 285 schools and
centers now provided with stereopti-
cons while at least twenty five schools
are planning to purchase motion pic
ture apparatus for this years work. AS
the cost of each equipment, stereoptl-
con and motion picture is from $500
to $500 the investment made by the
schools, civic associations and other
centers in order that they may avail
themselves of the free film and slide
service, which is part of the extension
plan by which the advantages Of the
university are taken out of the state at
large, is conservatively estimated at
$4,000 to $4,000.
AT present about $4,000 lantern
slides on nearly 200 subjects and
100 600 feet of motion picture film on
over hundred subjects are made avail
able by University Extension for use
in the schools and social centers
throughout the state. At the end of
the school year, last June 100 schools
and centers wele on the regular cir
cults conducted by the Extension,
division, receiving a weekly service of
slides and films for thirty-fve weeks of
the school year. There were four of
these organized circuits in operation
while 157 schools and centers used the
service occasionally,

Peas In Upper Wisconsin.

of the canned peas of the whole coun-
try. The upper counties are supply
ing large portion, and that portion
is being increased every year The
farmers are getting from $40 to SIS
per acre for their peas on the hay
rack at the factory. Corn growers
ON 5000 to $500 per acre land in Illinois
and Iowa who are lucky TO get $40 per
acre for their crop are awakening to
the situation. No matter what crop
is considered upper Wisconsin loses
nothing by comparison.
