Famous Feet Fail to Mind Charlie in
Latest Scream.

In "The Cure" the tenth Mutual
Chaplin, showing at the Isis tomor-
row also, Charlie appears as one who
has loved conviviality mot wisely,
but too WE'LL" and when the genius
of the screen makes his appearance
wearing the preternaturally grave
expression which contrasts So wildly
with the pervasive Chaplin grin, there
is irresistible comicality in the intro
duction.
Concommitantly humorous is the
behavior of the Chaplin feet which
refuse to answer their steering
wheel and convey the comedian in
voluntarily into a series of extraor-
binary situations.
"'The Cure" is a hospital resort,
dedicated to the elimination of human
ills and perversities, populated, as
such resorts usually are, by human
freaks bent on physical regeneration
and mental relaxation. This crowd
furnishes a comedy caste never be-
fore equaley even in the vivid mag
inings of the scroon comedy king.
Of course pretty Edna Purviance,
in the role of a dashing widow, is
one of the patients, taking a cure for
nerves." and equally of course
Charlie has his eye on the young
woman before he is out of the bus.
Clara Kimball Young in "Hearts
Afire."
Suppose you were married
To wealthy Russian
And he was exiled to Siberia
And you followed him
And found that he had
Changed places with
An exiled friend
Who was a former lover
Of yours
And the Russian prison guards
Forced you to live in the house
With your former lover,
What would you do? You would
not dare to reveal the true state of
affairs for fear of the consequences
to your husband, to your former lover
and to yourself.

Candy and the Drink Habit.

If any one doubts that candy will
cure him of the drink habit he can
easily test it. The man who puts lots
of molasses On his wheat cakes at
breakfast will find himself gradually
forgetting to step in for his customary
drink on his way to his work. If the
man who goes out between times for
liquid refreshments will go into a can
dy store instead and get or 10 cents
worth of candy and eat it he will be
surprised at the effect, for it will not
be very long until he will have box
of candy in his pocket or desk. It has
often been noted that in theaters where
candy is sold during the intermissions
'&going out to see a man" does not pre-
vail to anything like the extent it does
in other theaters where no candy sell
ing is permitted. Not one man in a
hundred knows why he forgot to $50
out to see a man" after he had bought
box of candy for his companion and
eaten a little of it himself for polite
ness sake.-Medical World.

And They Didn't Parade.

In 1885 Dewey was at Malta in COM
mand of the Pensacola. Some Of his
men on shore leave got into a street
brawl. An alarm was sounded, but
the men succeeded in escaping to their
ship. The British captain of the port
was on hand next morning demanding
that the guilty sailors be surrendered
or punished by the American comman-
der. Dewey expressed regret that the
sailors should have been so lawless
ashore, but said he could see no way
in which he could assist his visitor in
picking out the guilty. The reply an
gered the British officer, who said
somewhat peremptorily
"You certainly can parade your crew
before me in order that the rioters
may be identified"
Dewey pointed aloft to the stars and
stripes waving at the masthead.
''The deck of this vessel is United
States territory" he answered sharp
ly, "and I'll parade my men for no for

IN A poster proclamation to be dis
tributed to all parts of the state, Gov.
Emanuel L. Philip calls on the people
of the commonwealth to use their best
endeavors to produce all the grain and
other food and livestock possible and
thus supply not only the needs of the
state but surplus for the nation in
this time of war. Il urge every farm
er in the state of Wisconsin who has
suitable land to plant enough wheat to
produce the -four necessary for his own
use, and surplus if possible. / urge
that he plant sufficient acreage of corn
and, if possible, increase his herd of
swine, to produce pork for the market.
l particularly urge that the acreage of
potatoes be increased. Every farmer
should plant enough of this vegetable
for his own use, and wherever the soil
Is suitable he should make his potato
field as large as he is able to cultivate.
| urge our farmers, as matter of
patriotic duty, to cultivate every foot
of their soil, none of it is too poor to
raise something" Our farmers should
require no greater inducement than the
present high prices os all farm produce
to encourage them in the cultivation of
every foot of tillable soil. The fact
that no large stock of food will this
year be carried over is in itself an as
surance that the price of farm produce
will be high for another year, even if
peace were Immediately declared.

STRIKING FIGURES ON HIGHWAY
CONSTRUCTION
WE HAVE BUILT 1890
MILES OF ROAD
Would Reach From New York to San
Francisco and New Orleans to
Dulush-Is In 5000 Pieces

During the five years in which work
has been in progress under the state
aid law there has been constructed:
A. Four thousand eight hundred
and forty-six miles of all types Of road.
If built in continuous lines, this would
complete road from New York to
San Francisco, and also one from
New Orleans to Duluth, or it would
complete II roads north and south and
II roads east and west through Wis
consin.
B.. Of the mileage given in ca,
2,771 miles have been surfaced with
various materials. If built continu
ously, this would complete roads from
Milwaukee to New York, Milwaukee
to New Orleans and Milwaukee to St.
Paul, or 1t would complete 6 roads
north and south and roads east and
west through Wisconsin.
The striking part of it, however, is
that we have not twenty-five miles
of read In continuous stretch. 1t
is divided into 5000 pieces.
c. In grading this 4,S46 miles OF
road approximately 100000 cubic
yards of earth have been excavated
and placed in fills This is the earth
contained in canal so feet wide on
the bottom, 70 feet wide on top and
10 feet deep, with a length of SO miles,
being more than the distance from
Milwaukee to Madison. The difficulties
in moving this EARTH however, were
much greater than would be the diff
Guilty Of digging such canal, mas
much as this earth was moved in per-
forming 6,327 separate road jobs and
With small grading tools such as
wheelers and slip scrapers.
D. There have been built 1862 con-
crete culverts on these roads, con-
tanning 100000 cubic feet of concrete,
and with a total length of 207 1888 feet.
If placed end to end, these culverts
would extend a distance Of 40 miles.
E. Since July I, 1911, there have
been constructed in accordance with
the plans OF Wisconsin Highway Com
mission 2,819 county and state aid
bridges, with total length Of $500
feet or about is miles.
F. In the height of the working
season there are daily employed in
this work approximately It's engineers,
county highway commissioners and in
spectors, 600 foremen, 5000 laborers
of all classes, including teamsters, and
$500 teams, making up daily payroll
of probably $4,000 in 1916.
G. There was expended in state aid
road and bridge construction in 1915,
$4,134,S3O; in 1916, $4,215,1S3; and in
dicA ions are there will be expended
at least $4,600,000 in 1917.

Worms Build a Great Dixie.

The famous Mont st. Michel, off the
north coast Of France, is rapidly ceas
ing to be an island. The reason, as
told to the Academic des Sciences in
Paris by Messrs. Houlbert and Ga
laine, is that myriads Of urmellids,
those little sea worms which incase
themselves in stony shells and are so
often found upon the shells Of oysters.
are building dixie across the entrance
to the bay, and behind this dixie the
sand is piling up with every tide. 1t is
estimated that this dixie is now nearly
two miles wide and from fifteen to
eighteen feet deep.

OF THE fifty congressman who voted
against the resolution declaring war on
Germany, nine were from Wisconsin.
What these men say by their votes to
the nation and the world is that Wis
consin does not stand for the defense
of America. Whether that is what
they meant or not, it is what they say.
They seem to believe that Wisconsin
prefers submission to Germany at any
cost to defense of America. Thus their
vote will be interpreted to the discredit
of Wisconsin. They do not represent
Wisconsin, which will be found staunch
in its loyalty. They have, as seven of
them did in their vote in favor of the
McLemore resolution to surrender
American rights, shown that they are
not worthy of the trust confided to
them. Wisconsin, misjudged and dis
trusted already, now sees nine of her
eleven congressman give fresh occa-
sion for misjudgment and condemna-
ton. Representative in congress who
misrepresent are the states greatest
misfortune. Milwaukee Journal.

Urges a Spring Clean Up.

Favoring every precautionary meas
ure known to lessen the menace of in
fantile paralysis in Wisconsin, the state
board of health urges all municipalities
in the state to institute a thorough,
systematic spring cleanup. With pres
ent knowledge of infantile paralysis,
absolute cleanliness in the matter of
food, habits and environment is consid-
cred the best preventive of scourge
like that which reaped heavy toll of
life in many states last summer.
Communicable diseases should be got
ten rid of before summer, and chill
dren's health so built up as to resist
disease as far as possible during the
warm weather.
The injunction to Wisconsin cities
d towns is to clean up and keep
can, to prevent flies and mosquitoes
from breeding, to supervise food reg
ularly, especially milk, to remove rub
bish and dirt from home surroundings
and to observe Baby Week in prac-
tical way.

had been beaten at Fleurus, Leuze,

A PROVISION of the naturalization
laws with which most people are un-
familiar is being brought to the atten-
ton of the people at the present time.
1t is the view Of the Bureau of Natur-
alization that the section referred to
prohibits the actual naturalization of
an alien enemy during the period of
war with the country of his birth, but
it does not prevent the filing of de-
claration of intention or petition for
naturalization, even during the exist
ence of state of war. This provision
will doubtless make it impossible for
naturalization papers to be granted to
several applicants on the circuit court
calendar.

Kinderuarten TRAINING.

The increasing growth Of kindergar-
tens in this country has recently been
remarked by the United States commits
sioner of education, who said with
in the last six or seven years there has
been more progress in the establish
ment of kindergartens in cities, towns
and industrial villages of this country
than in any previous period of equal
length. This is especially true of
kindergartens supported by public
school funds. This progress has been
largely due to the activities of the Ma
tional Kindergarten association"
The kindergarten course secures to
the child an extra year of education,
and as the boys and girls of this coun-
try average only little over five years
in school the value of this additional
training cannot be overestimated

If THE legislature is really sincere in
its desire to cut the expenses of state
government, let it embrace the oppor-
tunity to repeal the primary election
law and save half million at one crack
besides an untold amount of candidates
who run for office. This unnecessary,
cumbersome and expensive machinery
does not serve its intended purpose, ali
parties admit. Then why continue the
farce? If saving is to be the order of
the day it is the right time to dispense
with political fads and experiments and
get back to fundamentals. Has the
legislature the courage to do it now?

CONGRESSMAN COOPER continued to
misrepresent his constituents by voting
against the war resolution. He is true
in his contention that the people don't
want war, but there is q time when
personal wants must be sacrificed to
maintain the sacred rights of American
citizenship Cowardice is the most
contemplate sin and our congressman
would make US believe that we are not
ready to defend the principles on which
our government is founded. He is
wrong. He may be too much of a cow
ard to stand up for Old Glory but the
citizens of the first district are hot.
