ing the children of the crowded dis

Road Building Experiments.

To find the best bodybuilding mate
rails and the best methods of road
maintenance for the 5000 miles Of
state trunk line highways which 1T
will assume charge of next year, the
Wisconsin state highway commission
has decided to conduct some unusu-
experiments in bodybuilding and road
maintenance this season.
The most novel of these will be the
placing of a carpet of old straw, hay
or grass on the sand roads near Rio,
Columbia county, and bind and pre-
serve the carpet with road oil and as
phatum. Another experiment, which
will be carried on in Milwaukee cOun-
ty, will be the use of metal reinforce
ment in concrete roads, the purpose
being to prevent the concrete from
cracking and to reduce the cost of ma
terial by using less concrete, which
has doubled in price during the three
years past.

Woman Workers Gain.

The number of woman employees
in Wisconsin has been increasing rap
idly, according to reports received by
the state industrial commission. This
increase has been most marked in ma
chine shops.
Many large firms in Milwaukee and
elsewhere which have never before
employed women, during the last
month have placed women in their
shops at light operations. The reports
indicate that wherever women have
been tried they have given satisfaction
in processes not involving too hard
manual labor or q high degree Of skill.
One great difficulty which the machine
shops have met with in extending the
employment Of women has been that
Of getting competent fOrewOmen.

The Jackson Milling Co. has a large
crew of men working in this vicinity,
making survey and determining le-

are soon to build across the Wisconsin

ed, may prove of untold benefit to
Stevens Point in a commercial sense.

PARSNIPS
ALL WINTER

Parsnips may be allowed to remain
in the ground and dug as needed, as
freezing does not injure them.
AS it is a difficult matter to dig
them when the ground is frozen, it is
advisable to store small quantity in
the storage room in the basement of
the dwelling or in the outdoor storage
cellar for use during the winter periods
when the ground is frozen.

LAYINSUPPLY Of
WINTER onions

A dry, well-ventilated place, such
as an attic, furnishes a good storage
place for onions in winter, as slight
freezing does not injure them, provid-
ed they are not handled while frozen.
To keep well, onions must be ma
ture and thoroly dry. Put them in
ventilated barrels, baskets, crates, or
loosely woven bags, as good ventila-
ton is essential to the keeping of on
ions

BETS IN WINTER
Save by Storage. Keep Them i'm the
Basement.

They should be placed in ventilated
barrels, loose boxes, or, better still, in
crates.
They should be pulled and the tops
cut off when the soil is dry.
If sufficient space is available in
the cellar, it is good plan simply to
place them in small piles along the
wall.
Storage in large piles should be a.
voided, as it is liable to cause heat

MOSES KAHOLOI VICTIM
OF KAHULUl ACCIDENT

Noses Kaholoi, brakeman on the
Kahului railroad, was the victim OF
the fatal accident reported a few day S
ago to the public utilities commission.
Further reports, giving the name, were
received today by the commission.
According to the company officials
Kaholoi was riding on the coupling Of
a car which was at the head of a
string being pushed by a locomotive
up to the railroad quarry. In the act
of leaving his place on the coupling
to throw a switch, Kaholoi slipped
and fell beneath the car. The first
blow evidently knocked him uncon,
scious and the second car crushed him
against the rail. A Japanese workman
saw the accident and signalled to the
engineer to stop the train. He was
dead when the cars were removed
from him.
