WILL EXPERIMENT
IN ROAD BUILDING.
HIGHWAY COMMISSIONS AIM is
TO FIND BEST MATERIAL
AND METHODS.
STRAW CARPET WILL BE USED
Novel Plan to Be Tried Out on Sandy
Roadbeds - Metal Reinforce
ment in Concrete Will
Also Be Used.

Madisor1-To find the best roadbuild-
ing materials and the best methods of
road maintenance for the 5000 miles
of state trunk line highways which it
will assume charge Of next year, the
Wisconsin state highway commission
has decided to conduct some unusual
experiments in roadbuilding 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, Co
lumbia county, and bind and preserve
the carpet with road oil and asphalt
UNI. Another experiment, which will
be carried on in Milwaukee county,
will be the use of metal reinforcement
IN concrete roads, the purpose being
to prevent concrete from cracking and
to reduce the cost of material by u.s.
ing less cement, which has doubled
in price during the three years past.
Still another experiment will be in
the construction and maintenance of
macadam roads between Baraboo and
Kilbourn, different sizes of stone and
different binders being used on SINH
lar distances of the road.

EXPECT TO ENTRAIN SOON
No Formal Announcement Made, But
Indications Point to Early De-
parture of State Troops.

Camp Douglas - There is stir in
Camp Douglas which indicates early
departure for Waco, Tex, of several
units of the Wisconsin National guard
most of which has been mustered into
the federal service
No formal announcement has been
made as to when troops will leave and
no passenger coaches pulled on the
sidetrack indicate immediate depart
ure, but companies which are not up
to war strength are being filled from
the ranks of unassigned men, and
there is a general feeling that the or
der from General Thomas H. Barry to
leave for the southern cantonment Is
not far off,
The first units, as previously indi-
Gated, will be made up of camp build
ers, with the different branches of the
service represented. The main body Of
the guard is likely to follow soon after
the camp builders leave. Whether all
the men will be equipped here or
whether part of the equipment will be
shipped to Waco has not been an
nounced 1t is believed, however, that
the soldiers leaving here will be in
khaki and carry rifles, and that the
remainder of the equipment will be
provided In the southern camp.

VALUE GARDENS AT $4,000
Racine Vacant Lots Now Producing
Valuable Crops Plans Being
Made for Next Season.

Racine Vacant lots which prev1-
ously bore only an annual plentiful
crop of weeds, tin cans, broken bot
ties and old bedsprings, now produce
crops which, If sold at present
prices, would average $50 per garden,
and many would run as high as $40
and $45. The paintings vary from
corn to radishes, some having six or
seven varieties, all in a fine state Of
production.
The approximate total valuation Of
the gardens under the supervision Of
the park board is estimated from $1O,-
900 to $4,000 This does not include
the gardens donated by factories for
the use of employees or the countless
private gardens.
This fall the gardens will be plowed
for the following spring and many OF
the disadvantages encountered this
year will thus be avoided. Standing
water, which rose to height Of sew
eral feet on large sections of the gar
dens, and did not recede for seversl
weeks, retarded the planting of the
low lands.
All things considered. this venture
has proved highly successful and va
cant lots hereafter should continue to
be productive of foodstuffs.

FOOD DEPARTMENT
AT WISCONSIN FAIR
TO BRING PRODUCER AND CON-
sUMER TOGETHER BY
MEANS OF EXHIBIT.
TO SHOW FINISHED PRODUCT
Visitors viii Be Given Opportunity to
See Yield of Soil Prepared,
Packed and Made Ready
for the Table.

Milwaukee-Oneo of the new depart
ments in connection with the state
fair will be that of markets, food and
public health This department will
be under the supervision of Fred w.
Luening of Milwaukee. Those who
have discussed the plans as arranged
by oliver e. Remey, secretary, believe
that the department mas great posi-
bilities.
1t proposes to bring together the
producer and consumer, buyer and
seller. 1t will give the producing agri-
cultural interests in the state COM
prehensive view of the markets of the
state, and it will give the markets OPP
portunity to establish relations with
producers. Food and it's production
and handling, as well as it's relation to
health, will have large place in the
exhibit.
The exhibit proposes to show the
states people the finished product ~
the results of Wisconsin's agricultural
efforts plus the efforts of the states
industries, which have prepared, pack
ed and made ready for the table the
products of the soil. The enormity Of
the industries related to agriculture
meat packing, canning, milk condens-
ing, retail dairying, sugar making, etc.
should prove revelation to the
fairs visitors.
Markets and their needs will be de-
picted. The farmer may study them
and judge, where lie his best opportu-
mites. The housewife may learn some
thing of the economies of buying. The
industries themselves may have means
Of coming into contact with both the
producer and the consumer.

GUY D. GOFF is NAMED MAJOR
Special United States District Attor-
ney for Wisconsin Assigned for
Immediate Duty.

Milwaukee D. Golf, of Milwau-
kee, special United States district at
torney for Wisconsin, has been ap-
pointed a major in the judge advocate
generals department of the United
States army and assigned to duty IN
the Office of the judge advocate gen.
eral in Washington.
The announcement of the appoint
Rent of Mr.. Golf came as complete
surprise to him in the shape OF tele-
gram from Adjt. Gen. Mccain of the
regular army. The telegram ordered
Mr. Golf to report to Washington at
once for duty. He will leave as soon
as possible.
At the beginning of the war, Mr..
Golf rendered his services to the gov
eminent in any form it might desire,
and his first appointment was as spe-
cial district attorney for Wisconsin TO
assist in trial of cases arising out OF
war questions His appointment to
the army will, of course, cause his
resignation as special district attorney
Mai. Golf is well known attorney
and is son Of Judge Golf OF west
Virginia, who is an attorney on the
federal bench. Maj. Golf has been VI
tally interested in the war ever since
its beginning and has been connected
with patriotic organizations in Wis
consin which have been organized 10
aid in the war situation.
Mai. Golf has been a figure POLITICAL
Iy in the state and has been mentioned
as a possible candidate for the Repub-
licans who have been looking for
candidate to run on patriotic plat
form. His new appointment probably
removes him from the range of Wis
consin political possibilities.
Major Golf is about fifty years OF
age and was in one campaign the Re-
publican candidate for mayor OF Mil
waukee. He will serve under Provost
Marshal Crowder in Washington.

On Aug. 1, the bakeries of the state

Prison Does Much Canning.

Madison-One state institution
state prison at Waupun, has demon
strated the value of the advice of the
State Council of Defense, to can vege-
tables and fruits for winter use. When
the canning season is over the prison
will have 10000 gallon cans and 200
gallon jars ready for the table. This
will mean a large saving in the cost
