keep ROADS IN CONDITION
State Commission Suggests Plans for
Systematic Work on AL Sorts of
Roads to Give People the Most Pos
sible for Money Spent on Roads.

Town chairmen throughout Kenosha
county this morning received an APP
peal from the state highway commits
sion to work for better roads and the
appeal is especially directed along the
lines of keeping in condition the i'm
proYements that have already been
made on roads in the state. The letter
promises to be of considerable help in
getting roads in Kenosha county into
better condition. The commission in
its call to the towns, says in part:
"Reports from our employees, per-
sonal inspections, and reports from
others, indicate that the past two
months or more has probably seen the
ordinary roads in Wisconsin in worse
condition than at any time in re-
cent years.
Probably due to great depth of frost,
and the fact that because of cold
weather, this frost has gone out very
slowly, there have been excessive ac-
cumulations of water near the surface
of the ground which have caused the
roads to be much worse than usual.
Surface drainage has been lacking, and
underground drainage or tile drainage
is almost unknown.
It is especially noticeable that at or
near the top Of any hill of even mod
crate height, there has been almost in
variably place badly cut through and
practically impossible. All in all, the
general condition of roads has been
much worse than it should be consid-
aring the demands of modern travel.

So rapid was the advance in the re-

In these instances the Russianes ap-

In each of these countries, Germany and

DO we want to put the State under the
feet of the Federal Government?
In order that the u. S. House of Repre-
sentatives should always be based on popu1a-
tion, just as the Senate is based on the States,
stheAC Constitution directs that census Of the
people be taken every ten years.
For hundred years, the Federal Govern
ment honored the intention of the Constitu-
ton, and simply sent out men to count the
people,
Less than 20 years ago, the Federal Gov
eminent departed from the Constitution,
made the Census officials permanent; and, as
these had nothing else to do, put them to
counting hogs, cows, &C., and publishing vast
quantities of statistical stuff which nobody
reads excepting the printers who are paid
to read 1T.
The cotton gamblers, and the Manufac-
turers' Trust saw the advantage to them
selves of having a census taken at all the
gins SO that the men who get rich off the
growers would know just how many bales of
cotton there were and would know exactly
how to fleece the farmer.
To serve the spinners and spectators, every
glnner is required to fill out report, Of his
private business, and to give, ooithOut pay,
certain amount of his time and work.

PAINTING CHURCH WHITE.
Marked Change in Appearance of
Building Under Way-Plans in Prog
ress for Tooth Anniversary.

In its 100 years of existence the Cen
tire Congregational church building has
undergone several changes in outward
appearance, but none more marked than
the one which is now taking place. Pre-
liminary work was begun Friday by
johnson & Halgren, who will paint the
church white which will be in decided
contrast with the present dark brown
color and will make the building a con-
spicuous object on Main street The
blinds will be painted green, which will
make a very effective combination.
When it was decided some time ago
to observe the centennial of the church
it was decided to improve the outward
appearance of the building, also to re-
decorate the interior of the chapel and
parlors, which will be done at this
time. No change will be made at pres
ent in the interior of the main build
ing.
Details are being worked out for the
centennial celebration. The church was
organized July 8, 1916. On Wednesday,
July 8 of this year a marker will be
dedicated on the village common, where
the church stood before being moved
to its present site. A pageant will take
place, of which further notice will be

communion, when the church stood on

church in the evening to be addressed

exhibition of articles such as were in
use in Brattleboro a century ago are
planned for Saturday afternoon, and
ON Sunday there will be a communion
service and sermon by a former pastor
in the morning and a historical paper
in the evening.
All the living former pastors of the
church have signi6ed their intention
to be present, and other visitors will
be here. All of the various features
will be open to the public. The plans
will be outlined in detail at a later
date.
