The natural and most advantageous
route for the proposed state highway
between Milwaukee and Madison is the
route which passes through this sec
ton of the state, following as far as
possible the old plank road. The tenta-
tive plan Of the highway commission
would route it through Jefferson and
Lake Mills from Waukesha west. Why
this route was selected seems queer
as the natural travel has always been
along the old plank road, which in the
early days of Wisconsin's history was
the route selected for grade and geo.
graphical reasons. And the same holds
true at the present time.
The route proposed runs from Mil
waukee to Waukesha and thence west
toward Jefferson and Lake Mills,
touching but few places of any con-
plank road route would traverse the
beautiful lake region, touching many
summer resorts between Waukesha
and OconOmwOc, thence going through
Watertown, the largest city enrOute,
and the, thriving towns of Waterloo,
Marshal and Sun Prairie before reach
ing the capital city.
Time To Wake Up.
The business men and citizens along
this section of the proposed highway
should wake up to the advantages
which such a route would offer. A por-

ready been expended on road work
which should be big item in it's final
determination. Governor Philip has
appointed the following legislative
committee to act with the highway
commission, and every citizen of Wa
tertown and nearby country should
present their views on the matter to
them by personal interview or by let

Senator d. V. Jennings, Milwaukee,

Under the tentative plan an improv-
ed highway would be constructed be-
tween Jefferson and Watertown. And
if the northern or Watertown route be
established such highway could be
built connecting Watertown and JEFF
ferson as well as under the tentative
plan.
Every effort should be made to have
the route changed SO, that it will ira
verse the natural and most beneficial
highway for the requirements of tour
lists and other traffic.,

Our present state of war does not
warrant any relaxation of interest in
the subject of infant welfare this year.
On the contrary, we owe it to the faith
ers who, as volunteers and conscripts,
must be away from home to do our
part in saving their babies lives.
Those brave fellows are doing enough
in risking their own lives for the safe
ty and happiness of the nation.
1t may seem that there is not very
close connection between a fathers
fighting in Europe and his baby's llv-
ing here, but there is. A reduced fami-
ly income affects the baby seriously,
especially in high-cost-of-living mar
ket. 1t may mean the substitution OF
cheap, low grade of milk for pure
milk In one instance l know OF, this
killed baby last summer when our
men were only so far away as the
Mexican border
The efficiency of fighting men, fur
theremore, is affected by whether
their minds are harassed or at peace
concerning the health and welfare OF
their families back home. This fact
has been emphasized by Captain
Cathro, U. s. Army, who speaks not on
theory but ON the authority OF vet
eran soldier Doubtless, there would
have been far larger number of vol
unteers had not many an otherwise
willing soldier been deferred from en-
listing by the question of the health
and help of his wife and children.
Another reason more remote but no
less patriotic, was voiced by John
Burns when he said: Give me intelli-
gent motherhood and good parental
conditions, and | have no doubt of the
future of this or any other nation"
Patriotism, humanity, love for babies
and sense of fair play, all combine
to compel us to lose sight of the lives
and welfare of our babies at home
while we are driving with every ounce
of our power for the babies and peO-
pie of Belgium and France.

THE MILK QUESTION.
Many Milkmen Cover the Same De-
livery Routes.

Local milk dealers who are charg-
ing cents a quart for milk would
have a profit of no mean size on the
right side of the ledger if they can de-
wise scheme whereby they will
avoid covering the same streets in
their deliveries. About one-half the
wagons and horses could easily be
spared and efficient delivery made by
the balance.
Some move along these lines is due
the consumer who foots the bill. I'm
der the present system it will be nee
essary to keep raising the price of
milk, whereas if the delivery was made
at half the present expense there
would be no need for an advance
We understand that meeting Of the
milk men will be held soon to wrestle
with the vexed problem.

PLAYER PIANO AGENCY.
Is Now Held in WATERFOWL by KOhlS

The modern player piano has adj
vanced to such a state of perfection
that improvement on the present in
strument will be few and far between
for some time. Such is the case with
the AccOusti-Grande made by Chick
ering- replica of the baby grand in
an upright case. The piano is handled
here exclusively by Kohls & Knaak.
The player has an easy touch, and
clear dulcet sound. The piano is act
uated by pedals which the player
pumps, and is equipped with pedal,
bass and treble buttons, allowing the
player to interpret the selections as
he desires. There is also an automatic
guide allowing warped rolls to be
used.

VAN CAMP PLANT RECEIVES
$4,000 POUNDS MILK DAILY

That there is law which makes it
compulsory upon milk condensories
not to discriminate in the prices of
milk paid where plants are operated
in more than one locality by the same
company, is probably not generally
known, but such is the fact and the
owners of such plants are compelled
to pay uniform prices, except the diff
terence in haulage, fat content and the
like
A recent advertisement sent out by
an association in Door county would
lead one to believe that better milk
prices obtain there than in this sec
tion of the state. This is denied by the
Van Camp Packing company, and
only tends to cause dissens1on among
the patrons of the condensories.
1t is claimed that milk in some sec
tions is worth more, such for instance
as Jersey and Guernsey milk, which
contains a higher percentage of but
ter fat than that produced by the Hol-
stein. This is well known by the farm
ers who are engaged in milk produc-
ton.
At the present time the Van Camp
condensOry here is receiving 10000
pounds Of milk daily, or a total Of
100000 monthly. This is an enor-
nous lot of milk and requires the SER
vices of thirty-fve people to handle it
at the factory. The sum of $500 is ex-
pended monthly for labor and expen-
SEES. This all stays in Watertown and
q standing account of $4,000 is kept in
one of the local banks.
The farmers sending milk to the
Van Camp plant received the follow
ing sums since the first of the year:
January ----------- $4,000
February -------- $4,000
March -------------- $4,000
April -------------- 10000
May ------------- $4,000
June ---------------- 10000
