Three Concrete Highways.

West Bend-At the last meeting OF
the West Bend Commercial club a
movement was started to inaugurate a

ing the county in the sum of 100000
for the purpose of constructing three
concrete roads, eighteen feet wide, the
full length of the county, north and
south, and two roads east and west
from one end Of the county to the
other.
1t was brought out that if $4,000 are
spent annually for twenty years the
proposed roads could be built. 1t was
further shown that the county spent
$4,000 last year for state. roads and
that about 100000 will be spent this
year. 1t was estimated that the cost
for the payment of the bonds would

JITNEY DRIVERS ARRESTED
Forty kenosha Operators Brought Into
Court on Charge of Violating
State Regulations.

Kenosha - The jitney business in
Kenosha was interrupted when Dis
trict Attorney A. L. Drury secured
warrants for the arrest of forty drivers
of jitney cars, charging violations of
the state regulations for this class of
common carriers.
1t was charged in the warrants that
the jitneys failed to follow the general
routes named by the railroad commits
sion, that some drivers operated with
out bonds, that some did not operate
in the hours named in the permit and
that some operated at hours other than
named in the permits.
1t is declared that the Kenosha cases
are to be used as a supreme court test
of the right of the state to limit the
operations of the jitneys. Three of the
defendants pleaded guilty and fines of
$40 and costs were imposed. The other
thirty-seven gave bonds for later ap-
pearance.

EXPECT BIG BARLEY
: CROP IN THE STATE
AGRICULTURAL EXP e r MENT
STATION SENDS OUT GLOW
ING REPORT.
SEE 40 BUSHELS TO ACRE
'Threshing Tests Show the Best Aver
age Acre Yields Yet Obtained:
Wisconsin Grows One-Eighth
of All Barley in Country.

Madison = Wisconsin, already IA
nous for it's barley production, accord
ing to conservative estimates, has
again outdone all former records.
1--WE will undoubtedly find that we
have the largest crop of barley ever
harvested in Wisconsin this year." said
r. A. Moore, interviewed at his office
at the agricultural experiment station.
"This is due in part to a larger acre
age, but even more to the favorable
weather we have had and the high
class seed which was sowed."
Threshing tests reported to officials
of the Agricultural Experiment asso-
citation show the best average acre
yields yet obtained in the state. The
state average in 1915 was 35.5 bushels
and in 1914 81 bushels an acre. Based
on the bright returns from this years
crop, authorities predict an acre yield
for 1916 OF at least 40 bushels.
Wisconsin grows fully one-ighth of
the barley raised in the Whole country,
and ranks third in the roll of states in
total production.
According to Mr.. Moore, fully 95 per
cent of the seed used in growing the
Badger barley crop is of the well
known pedigree variety first grown at
the agricultural experiment station,
and distributed largely by means of
the cooperative association of grain
growers affiliated with the station.

the birthday of the king of England,
because the islands once belonged to
him; the birthday of the German en-
peror in honor of the Hamburg Ameri-

royal families, I presume, as well as
many local and impromptu holidays OF
their own. They also are very scrupu-
lous about observing the Sabbath, az
least in it's negative aspect.

enrolment, which, at this time, is 8
per cent greater than the final figures
of 1915.
Up to date count shows that 1868

of students enrolled last year. Indi-
cations are, it was said, that the count
will reach nearly to the It's increase

liable articles and smashed furniture
in their efforts to find them.
