TRAFFIC TESTS
OF WISCONSIN
ROAD VALUES

A recent educational test undertake
en- by the Traffic Engineering Depart
ment of the Federal Motor Truck Co.
of Detroit, Michigan, brought out the
fact, that travelling over a modern con-
crete highway with a two ton load of
produce could be accomplished at the
rate of 16.41 miles per hour, over a
gravel road with the same load at the
rate of 9.84 miles per hour and over a
dirt road at the rate of 4.36 miles in
an hour-in other words, in the mat
ter Of saving in time, the hard sur
face concrete road had an advantage
over the dirt road of 376 per cent. Of
course there must be taken into con-
sideration the decreased operating
cost on the better highways as regards
fuel, and oil, maintenance, and tire
wear.

A MIGHTY
Achievement
Removes Mountain Barriers - Con-
serves Earth's Treasures.

Mighty indeed-for not alone has
the "Milwaukee Road" by it's electri-
fcation across the Continental Divide
(Now being extended thru the Cascade
range) leveled the mountains as a
barrier to trans ortation-but has also
released great stores of earth's treas
ured energy for other much needed
purposes.
By utilizing the hitherto wasted pow
er of moutain waterfalls to move the
heavy steel trains across the noun
tains of the northwest, there is con-
served annually over a quarter of a
million barrels of oil, and the thous-
ands of cars necessary to transport
this fuel are freed to serve other press
ing needs of transportation.
In this world crisis, when every re-
source of the nation is taxed to it's ut
most, this milwaukee" achievement
takes on extreme Importance.
When next you journey to the cities
of the Pacific Northwest travel the
smooth, smokeless, cinderless, electric
way-via the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railway.

best investment any young man could
make.
billie, if you will go up to my room
and brine; my small handbag, I will
let you see two photographs of the
same young man, showing what only
five months of intensive training on
the Mexican border did for him."
The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: "Well,
story and it is a mighty interesting
one. The young man, before training,
has a discouraged look; he has seen
but little Of the world. There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When he joined the colors
and Uncle Sam took MIN in charge
life for him took on a new meaning.
He saw chance to do something and
be something. He woke up. His cap
tain says he is twice the man he was
when he joined the army. This may
be one of the extreme cases." said
Uncle Dan. Il can tell you, though,
that war or no war, no one thing will
do the young men of this nation so
much good in so short a time as a few
months Of intensive military training
1t fits a man to fight his own life bat
ties in the business world as well as
to defend his country and its flag.
NEARLY every civilized country gives
it's boys military training. 1t is COM
pulsory. 1t is based upon the fact that
it is the duty of everyone to help de-
fend his country; and as war is now
carried on, no one can do much unless
he is trained. Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among
unframed troops is nearly three times
as great as it is with well-trained men
who know how to fight and how to
protect themselves. By this plan a
nation has trained men to defend her
and the individual is stronger and
better man for the training.
eff the Chamberlain Bill for Mill
tary Training is passed by congress-
as it ought to be, the same thing would
be done for millions OF other young
men throughout the land. Everybody
ought to demand of his congressman
and senators the passage of this
BILL

DANIEL Willard
GIVES RULE
FOR SUCCESS

Daniel Willard, the great railroad
man, has told B. c. Forbes some of the
things that have helped him become
successful. The article is in the No
vember American Magazine, and Mr.
Willard says:
"'f you really want to get along
rather than to see how easy a time you
can have, you must apply yourself
wholeheartedly-both during your
working hours and your leisure
hours-to your business. By having
your mind on your work you are apt to
learn how to do it accurately, and
there is nothing more important than
accuracy. Then, don't stop after do
ing what you are told; do that and do
that accurately-then find something
additional worth doing. When the
time comes to retrench, when men
have to be laid off, if you have made
yourself really useful and valuable you
will probably not be dropped; you are

was surprised to see how straight they

the boys had had was exactly what

they could have had before. Do you
think that's so, Uncle DAM"
Uncle Dan replied: Il have q
friend who employs hundreds of young
men. He always gives boys having
had military training the preference;
he says it pays to do SO. He finds
they are more alert, more prompt,
more courteous; they know how to
carry out orders; they are quicker to
think and to act than those without
training. He said from his experience
he believed that six or eight months
of intensive military training would
add at least 20 per cent to a mans

Provost guards draped in the authori-

of several of Waco's largest cafes and

the linen glistened ever so whitley,

BOY SCOUTS
HONORED
Amusement Hall Crowded by Citizens
To Listen to Program.

Everybody in the city Of Grand Rap
ids and vicinity who know anything a
bout the Boy Scouts of this city could
not help being proud of the young
men who are members of that organi-
cation in this city. They are taught to
be perfect gentlemen always ready to
render service and in doing that ser
vice allow nothing to interfere with
it. As messengers and carriers they
are always ready and willing. Friday
evening the Amusement Hall was
crowded with those who were anxious
to listen to the program and witness
the evenings exercises. Headed by
the band, the Scouts marched to the
Amusement hall and reached there "a
bout 8 o'clock. The boys made fine
appearance marching down Main st.
B. r. GoggOins, president of the city
council of Boy Scouts called the meet
ing to order and presided at the meet
ing The evening exercises were OPP
ened by invocation given by Rev. R.
J. Locke. Senator |. P Witter then
spoke on the subject of Scouts Hon
or and a Nations Honor" which he
handled very ably and received many
encores which indicated the Senators
address was very cordially received.
Mr.. Witter took occasion to compli-
ment the good work that is being done
IN this city by the boys and he was
proud of them. Theo. w. Brazeau was
the next speaker and talked principal
ly on the Liberty Loan Bond. He ex-
planned the matter of loaning money
to the government and the excellent
security that was back of the bond and
that everybody should do their share by
the investment in a Liberty Bond.
Postmaster Robert L. Nash, made a
very appropriate address as a repre-
sentative of the Federal Government.
He was followed by c. w. Rood, City
Scout Commissioner, who presented
the medals to the boys.
L. f. Minister, Scout Executor, then
gave talk on the subject of the scout
movements and the benefit it was ac-
complishing with the boys. Mr.. Kin
lister is splendidly fitted for the posi-
ton he holds and is very popular with
the boys all of whom swear by him.
His talk was followed by an excellent
demonstration put on by the Boy
Scouts showing some of the work that
Is done in the second class tests They
also illustrated and demonstrated me-
thods of first aid, bandaging, and
stretcher making. This was the first
opportunity that many of the people
of Grand Rapids had of witnessing the
kind of work and training that the
boys receive. The training that the
boys receive is very valuable to them
personally and broadens their scope of
life. The evenings entertainment was
greatly enjoyed and was a great sue
cess IN every way.
