Several very heavy rains have fall
en-, in fact rain every "a hours since
Tuesday, the LIST. 1t continues very
hot, but every thing is now growing
wonderfully. Some corn we are watch
ing with a yard stick is showing 21a
to inches growth for "a hours. The
pickles now promise a fine crop. New
early potatoes are scarcely worth the
digging, but we have to eat, as the
sparrow said to the fly, and late spuds
now look fine.
John Long, who recently returned
from Chicago, is today entertaining
the Axel Peterson, VIM. Anderson,
Chas. Johnson and John Johnson fam
lilies.
There is the usual Sunday after
noon crowd of boys and girls in the
creek here at the Diggins today.
We don't know who owns the four
year old black heller or the two z
year olds that visited US last week,
but we guarantee we will take it out
of their hides the next time the same
three sample our corn and pickles.
We tried yarding the mavericks, but
they hoped the fences like deer and
ran like wildfre. We had the dinner
call at II m. and sat down to dinner
at p. M, after vainly trying to
round those nubbin horned cow-hides,
only to get het up with no dinner ct
up till supper time showed up. Well
use the lasso next time.

F. A. Cannon Tells Bankers Loss Caus
ed by Poor Roads in Decade Would
Build 5000 Miles of Good
Roads.
BY H. P.

Madison, Wis, Aug. loft the loss
incurred over a period of ten years,
aye! less than ten years, caused by
bad roads in the state of Wisconsin
were put into the building Of good
roads, we could construct 5000 miles
Of hard surface highways covering
every part of the state of Wisconsin.
Good roads would be an Investment
for the people of this state and not
an expenditure. | propose to adduce
some figures in support of this state
ment, and feel they will be convinc-
ing.
With this opening remark, F. A.
Cannon, Executive Secretary of the
Good Roads Association of Wiscon-
sin, woke up the bankers at the Wis
consin State Bankers Convention, in
the Assembly today, and they got out
their pencils and began to follow the
figures.
The speaker first presented data
on the dairy tonnage of the state.
Based on information received from
the State Dairy and Food Department
he figured the tonnage to and from
the cheese factories and creameries
and to the condenseries as 1,716,OOO
tons, consisting of milk, whey, cream,
and buttermilk. Three quarters of
this, he estimated, must be hauled

| Hatton as the leader because he has
been chosen by the conference to
| which both McGovern and he submit
ted their cases. In order to win we
must unite on some one candidate and
there is no question but what with
Hatton's personal following and the
moral advantage he has received by
virtue of being the conference nominee
he will receive a great many more
votes than McGovern throughout the
state.
am glad to report two other facts
which know will be of interest to
you:
First: We find that the outlook for
the Progressives this year is far brigh-
ter than it was two years ago. Much
Of the old time earnestness, enthusi-
asm and determination is present.
There is a spirit of cooperation, unity
and hope that bespeaks an overwhelm-
ing victory this fall if we are only
wise and do not divide our strength.
Second: Senator Hatton is making
a campaign which is a pleasing sur
prise to his friends and a grievous
disappointment to his enemies. In
his address in Beloit he not only held
the closest attention of those present
but made a lasting and favorable i'm
preston and every one present went
away an enthusiastic Hatton believer
and worker.
In the personal capaign throughout
the district we found that he was very
effective and most favorably received.
There can be no question but what he
is an able man and experienced public
servant and a genuine Progressive.
| sincerely hope that you will take
these remarks in the spirit in which
they are made as they are solely in
the interest of the great cause which
is so near to your heart as we'll as
my own.

from the creameries and cheese fac
tories, because of their location, to t.
market station, adding 1887, 900 t )
to the above, making a total of 800
900 tons.
On information from the agricu.-
tural department, he computed the
tonnage of thirteen leading farm pro-
ducts at 11,004,307 tons. Adding to
this other farm products and ton
mage in and out of the big cities, he
figured the total farm tonnage APP
proximately 100000 tons.
Based on reports from manufact-
urers, he figured a loss from con-
sumption of gasoline, destruction of
tires, and general deterioration of
$500 per automobile caused by bad
roads each year, applied to 100000
automobiles in the state On horse
drawn tonnage, he used government
estimates of loss of ten cents per
ton per mile on an average haul of
six miles.
Bad roads, Mr. Cannon held, are
robbing the farmers children of the
proper educational advantages. We
have in Wisconsin over 500 schools
with one teacher and ten pupils or
less. We have 5000 one room schools,
with one, two or three grades, and
less than 100 consolidated schools.
Most schools, he held, are built with
relation to their accessibility on ac-
count Of the poor roads. Bad roads
are the cause of many of the boys and
girls leaving the farm, because of the
isolation.
With the slogan, wisconsin, the
playground of the Middle West" he
declared hundreds of thousands of
tourists would be attracted to Wiscon-
sin by good roads, and that they would
start movement on the part of the
people of Wisconsin to "See Wiscon-
sin First
To solve the problem, he believed
that legislation should be devised pre-
viding for the laying out of a state
wide system of trunk lines by the state
highway commission, and the gradua
building of these trunk lines by Civ
ing additional state aid to each coun
ty for the construction of its unit
the trunk line. He praised the pre-,
ent law, but called attention tia
while 1000 miles of road had beev
built it was in 5000 pieces, less thai
two miles in each piece.
