over wisconsin. It will be worth
while for the people of Wisconsin TO
come to Milwaukee and attend this
meeting. It will pay them to go over
the concrete roads of Milwaukee
county, hundred miles of them lead
ing IN every direction. While con-
crete roads are too expensive to be
common over the state, an inspec-
ton of them will be an inspiration
to get roads as near their efficiency
as means will permit.
By all means make this trip to
Milwaukee on this occasion. In Hi
nois the good roads slogan is: Pull
Illinois Out of the Mud" 1t is not
quite as bad as that in Wisconsin, but
it is bad enough and will continue to
be bad enough until the roads are
good. We have the soil, topography,
material and means for good roads.
It is a peculiar situation that the
best average road in the state are
in the northern counties-while the
poorest are in some of the wealthiest
southern counties. What is needed
is the good roads spirit-the rest we
have now. Attend the Good Roads
Day meeting and get the spirit-if
possible.

ONCE TOO OFTEN

Sometimes we do things once too of
ten. 1t is an all-prevailing common ha-
bit and too often a misfortune.
The bather insists upon one more
plunge into the deep waters and never
comes out.
The drunkard must have one more
drink before he falls into the gutter.
The indulger in forbidden fruit must
have one more taste before he is be-
yond redemption.
The aeronaut must always make
one more fightbefore his final chal-
lenge to cruel fate.
The prodigal son must be "a good
fellow" just once more before he is
swept away in the crowd forever.
The hayward girl must see once
more the bright lights of the great
white way before she listens to her
hearts appeal for penitence, but she
will never see her mothers face again.
The crowd jeered the black cham
pion of the prize ring when they saw
him fallen and beaten in Havana. He
had stayed too long. He had fought
once too often.
So they will jeer all those who turn
their backs upon home, upon church
and bible and school, for one more
chance to have good time"
Let US eat and drink; for to-mor-
row we shall die" is the motto of
those who live in the paradise of fools.

SAYS SHARKS
EXPLOIT LAND
IN WISCONSIN

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 2O.-Land
companies, chiefly in Chicago. are
unloading sandy stretches in Clark
and Jackson counties, Wisconsin, on
msuspecting settlers at prices double
that for which good hardwood lands
can be secured farther north.
That is the report of B. G. Pack
er of the immigration bureau of the
state department of agriculture.
In his summary Mr.. Packer says
his investigation shows that land
companies are getting about twice as
much an acre for their sandy lands
east of Humbird and Black River
Falls as good hardwood lands can be
secured farther north. These new
settlers, however, need help in hand
ling land of this type, and I believe
a great benefit would follow if the de-
partment could arrange to furnish
them information outlining successful
methods of handling sandy soil"

ELKS WILLGlVE
AFINE SHOW

Judging from the preparations and
progress being made, the Elks will
give one of the best minstrel shows
that has ever been seen in this city.
The principles are getting their songs
and jokes whipped into line and things
are beginning to have nice edge to
them.
The songs of the end men will be
sure fire hits all along the line and
the ballads have been chosen with
care. In fact the public may look for
some high class singing both by the
soloists and by the chorus. The old
time favorites will nearly all be seen
in the first part and the olio will be a
classic in itself.
