PULLING POWER OF A HORSE

It has been computed that on a
muddy earth road, a horse can haul
from nothing to a maximum of 800
pounds; on a smooth dry earth road,
from 1000 to 1000 pounds; on a
gravel road in bad condition, from
LOCO to 1900 pounds; on gravel
road in good condition, $500 pounds
on a macadam road, from 1000 to
5000 pounds; on a hard surface road,
from 5000 to 5000 pounds. These fig
ures show that if the speed of travel
is the same on all of these roads, a
horse will haul on concrete road
from six to ten times as many tons
per mile per day as upon a muddy
earth road. This matter may be look
ed at from another point of view. A
horse is capable of a certain fixed
daty per day. Then with given load
the effective radius of travel from a
given point on a concrete road is six
to ten times of that on a moderately
muddy road.

BEGIN DEVELOPMENT
OF THE INTER-
COUNTY ROADS
Federal Aid viii Result in Com
prehensive Highway System.
WISCONSIN MUST LAY OUT
COMPLETE PLAN NEXT WINTER

The next session of the Wisconsin
legislature will determine in a meas
ure the future of the Wisconsin high
way system. Upon its decision will
rest whether Wisconsin will take
great step forward and develop an
inter-county highway system or con-
tinue to build local roads for local
needs solely-we have built 4,S00 miles
of state aid roads in 5000 pieces. In
a measure, we are at the parting OF
the ways.
Next year, the first allotment OF Fed
eral aid for highways for the State
of Wisconsin will become available.
Under the Federal aid law, the state
must accept the terms of the law and
make an appropriation equal TO that
allotted to this state by the Federal
government for 1917-$385,0 83.l4. For
1918, it will be the same amount; for
1919, $513, 444.28; for 1920, $641, SO5.35.
total of $1,925, 416.05.
What makes the next session vitality
important is that the Federal govern
ment will require that next w r,
after the legislature makes the D
nriation and accents the terms OF the

Federal law, the state highway de-
partment must submit a definite and
comprehensive program for the full
five-year period. Although the money
is available from year to year, the COM
plete plan for the expenditure for the
full fve-year period must re laid out
at the beginning. Secretary of Agricul-
ture Houston, in discussing this fea-
ture of the law says:
I'm accepting the terms Of the act,
the state, as a matter of course, pledges
it's faith to the five-year program. This
is important because it makes posi-

ingly."
In further constituting the act, the
Department says:
"a state must submit to the secre-
tary of agriculture, by it's state high
way department, definite and COM
prehensive program of construction
FOR the five-year period, or as much
thereof as practicable, and subse-
quently from time to time an appli-
cation for Federal aid, known as a
project statement, setting forth pro-
posed construction of each rural post
road"
This means that next winter the
plan must be laid out for the utiliza-
ton Of the approximately 100000
Federal aid, which we will receive, the
100000 which the state must appro-
pirate to meet this, and an equal
amount which the legislature will un
doubtedly require the counties to ap-
propriate-S6 100000 in all.
There is every indication that the
five-year plan, or project, of highways
required will be through roads. A dis
patch from Washington throws this
light on the situation:
'The Office of public roads will, as
far as practicable, endeavor to have
the roads of one state connect with
those of another. The effort will be
to have the roads continuous in the
state and patches here and there will

aid money"
further fact bearing upon this is
that, under the Federal act, the state
must guarantee the maintenance of
highways built with Federal money.
else the Federal aid will be withdrawn
Wisconsin state aid highways are now
maintained by the counties. 1t is
obvious that Federal aid highways
must be maintained by the state as
the state could not be placed in
jeopardy of losing its Federal aid
through the failure of the counties
80 maintain roads built by Federal aid
In brief, the whole act means Fed
eral aid for main arteries, built un-
der state supervision, and maintained
" the state or under state super
vision.
Herein fits the plan and purpose OF
the Good Roads Association of Wis
consin for a trunk line system OF
roads for which it is conducting a
statewide campaign. Let the present
state aid continue and be utilized
in the present way, as it is done in
most places, in the development of
local roads Let the Federal aid and
accruing amounts be applied to the
building of inter-county lines-thus
taking care Of the local and broader
aspects of the road problem, and, fin
ally, carry into effect this plan as fol
lows
Provide by statute that the State
Highway Commission shall be en-
powered to lay out a prospective state
trunk line system for future develop
ment, and that in this system shall be
incorporated the five-year plan, or pro-
ject, to be submitted to the Federal
government for it's approval upon
which the Federal money shall be
spent.
That this trunk line system shall
be constructed under state supervision,
as the Federal government requires
that all roads built with Federal aid
shall be built under state supervision.
That this trunk line system shall be
maintained under state supervision
charging back portion of the main
tenance to the counties.
Finally, regarding the financing:
That the Federal aid allotted to the
State of Wisconsin by the Federal
government, approximately 100000
for the five-year period ending June
80, 1921, and the equal amount appro-
priated by the state legislature to meet
this Federal aid in the five-year period,
shall be distributed among the various
counties in Wisconsin on the basis
of the mileage of Federal aid trunk
lines in each county, provided that
the county board of each county shall
provide by bond issue or otherwise
during the fve-year period ending in
1921, an amount equal to the states
appropriation to the Federal aid fund,
approximately 100000.
This will result in the expenditure
of almost $6,OO0,0O0 on a comprehen-
sively planned trunk line system OF
state highways in period of five
years
It's adoption will mark new era
N the highway history of Wisconsin.

STOP PICKING ON" PICKS

The toothpick chewing habit is
not a pretty one nor is the picking
of teeth in public places to be com
mended. Nevertheless, the tooth
pick does not deserve the disrepute
into which it has fallen. Instead, AS
health instrument, it deserves a
revival of patronage.
So deeply has it fallen under the
ban of polite social usage, that 1t is
now frequently difficult matter to
find good one in many homes.
This is pushing refinement" al
together too far.
Because it is not considered po-
lite to clean ones finger nails in
public is no reason for throwing
away nail files. Similarly, there is
no good excuse for eliminating tooth
picks. Each one is a necessary and
important tool in the process of
keeping clean. And keeping clean
is life assurance policy.
The mouth offers ideal conditions
for the growth of germs. 1t IS moist
warm and sufficiently dark to make
an ideal disease germ garden. The
food which gathers between the
teeth furnishes lodging place for
countless numbers of disease pro-
ducing germs as we'll as the or3in-
airy ones Of decay. When, therefore,
overnice people refrain from pick
ing their teeth, they are merely too
nice" to be really clean.
The tooth brush is all right as far
as it goes. 1t is perfectly obvious
fact, however, that it doesn't go far
enough. While some clean part way
between the teeth, none go all the
way around all of the surfaces unless
the teeth are as far apart as those
of the common public wash room
comb. Something, therefore, in the
nature Of a toothpick, or stout
thread, is necessary to keep the
teeth decently clean. Polishing the
front and back surfaces S n t
enough. The margins between the
closely set choppers and grinders
are the most difficult to clean and
hence most likely to decay and to
harbor disease breeding organisms.
The proper use Of the toothpick in
the proper place and at a proper
time is good habit and one that
should be encouraged especially in
childhood, the great habit forming
period in life.
