The Latin Party

Miss Green's Latin classes gave q
party Thursday evening. The party
began after school and lasted until
about eight o'clock. This enabled the
Winton pupils to take the train home.
Latin games were played before
lunch was served and after lunch
dancing was enjoyed in the algebra
room. Maybe the Romans in olden
times never INDUCED in any such
common pastime as eating pork and
beans and other such food but the
modern Latin pupils had a very good
time doing so.

In all of his articles relating to
the arrest of Indians at Eastwood
lake a few weeks ago, Game War
den Geo. Woods infers that the
st. Croix Lumber company is be-
hind the Indians and that this
concern is getting the benefits.
This is a baseless and false accu-
sation, as near as can be ascer-
tanned by those looking up the
matter. Mr.. Written, manager
of the st. Croix interests, says
that money was loaned Leo
Chosa for the erection of a freezer
and warehouse at Winton and
that Chosa is liquidating the debt
as fast as possible in cash and not
in contraband game, as the pub
lished articles would imply. Mr..
Chosa lost $4,000 of his owl,
money in the venture and Mr..
Written says he has always
found him straight and trust
worthy, so much so in fact that
Mr.. Written would not hesitate
to loan him money on his bare
note or without a note. This
means much, coming as it does
from a business man of recog-
nized ability and integrity.

ROAD ;
BUILDING
KEEPING UP IMPROVED ROADS
Ample Provision for Maintenance

tem-Task Often Neglected.

From the United States Department OF
Agriculture
Keeping good roads is the most
important task in connection with an
improved highway system, once the
construction work is completed. In
the United States in the past this task
usually has been neglected, the i'm
proved roads in many instances being
allowed to deteriorate until they be-
came almost impossible, when they
were, at heavy cost, rebuilt. That
states and counties are now coming to
recognize the need of careful and
thoroughgoing maintenance, however,
is indicated by studies of county road
systems in different sections of the
country recently made by the Office of
public roads and rural engineering of
the department.
While some of the eight counties in
which intensive studies were made
were found to have no provisions for
maintenance and others were found
to pay for upkeep of the roads out of
bond-issue funds, thus creating a debt
that would outlive the temporary i'm
provement for many years, two coun-
ties in widely separated states were
found in which maintenance conditions

PROFITS FROM FALL CALVES
Have Cows Freshen in Autumn
Needs Less Feeding.

Because more milk would be pro-
duced in the year and calves would
be raised cheaper, farmers find it most
profitable to have their cows freshen
In the fall months.
The cow gives a large flow of milk
at the beginning of the period of lac
tation. In the spring the milk yield,
which gradually falls off, is suddenly
increased when the COW is turned on
fresh pasture.
Calves born In the fall need mainly
milk and eat little grain during the
period of winter feeding. When spring
comes they are ready to be turned on
pasture. Spring calves consume milk
and grain during the cheap pasture
season and require the same high
priced feeds during the following win
ter. when they are older and thus eat
more. The fall-born calf at the same
age needs only pasture.
AT the Ohio experiment station some
calves born in the fall were raised for
about S. less than others born In the
spring. Under average farm condi-
lions this difference would be even
greater, as no grain would be fed to
fall-bOrn calves on pasture, while
those at the station were given grain
because of pasture shortage.

were practically all that could be de-
sired. In Mississippi, it was found.
there is a state law requiring that
special annual tax of at least one mill
be levied for the upkeep of all roads
constructed by means of bond issues,
the fund TO be kept separate from all
other funds to be used for maintenance
only. Instead of deterioration taking
place on the roads of some of the
counties in other states on which ex-
aminations were made, it was found
that in Lauderdale county, Mississippi,
roads built several years ago and
maintained from the special fund have
actually improved since their compile
ton.
The county roads of Franklin county.
New York, it was found, are main
tanned with a contribution of so per
cent by the state and under indirect
state supervision. AS result of this
system, the roads have been kept up
to their condition on completion. While
provisions for maintenance were on
the whole not satisfactory in the coun-
ties of the other states in which stud
les were made, this condition since has
been remedied in Virginia by the pass
age of state law providing that an an
nual tax of not less than three per cent
of the amount of bonds issued shall
be levied to provide maintenance
fund for bond-built roads.
The existence of a regulation tend
ing to lessen damage to roads and so
to reduce maintenance costs was re-
vealed by the studies in Spotsylvania
Virginia, where the county su-
pervisors had passed an ordinance
placing a relatively low limit on loads
that may be hauled in wagons fitted
with narrow tires and a considerably
higher limit on loads for wide-tired
wagons. As a result, most of the
wagons using the roads of the county
have been fitted with tires ranging
from three to six inches wide.

KEEP CORRECT MILK RECORDS
Cow and Save Heifer Calves
From Large Producers.

You cannot always buy good cows,
but another way TO get good herd
together is by keeping records of the
production of each individual COW in
your herd and saving the heifer calves
from the larger producers. These
calves being from a good registered
sire and from selected cows, it will
not take many years to build up a
first-class ferd. You can only know
your best cows by continuous weigh
ing and testing of the milk, and keep
ing records of each individual, so that
some information may be secured as
to the cost of production, which is
growing more important as the prices

Road construction is bound to be
slow because of its great cost. Fig

An officer of the super-dread-

of one of the Texas Submarine chas

The submarine chaser was one Of
three the Texas carries. They're each
so feet long, propelled by a powerful

pacity of about As men, and have
one-pound guns on their bows.

commanded.

as we were ready to shove off.
The chaser looked like a small arse
nal; ammunition for the one FOUNDER,
rifles, rockets and signals to signal
to the fleet, boxes of bread, canned
goods, eggs and coffee.
There's no telling how long We'll
be out" the ensign said.
We were a hilarious party. The
ensign was one of the boys"
Our chief gunner was a boy named
Reilly, a happy, witty Irishman, with
a reputation for craftsmanship.
Gee, if we'd meet a submarine and
| sent her to the bottom Hobson
wouldn't be in it with me with the
hero stuff" Reilly told US.
Il joined the navy to fight not to
make love-" was a cutting comeback
from another gunner.
AS we passed out to sea we came
upon an immense ship laying mines,
while nearby was another ship that
was literally fencing the ocean off
with submarine nets, held in place by
a series of barrels stretched for
miles.
And at one point was a gate.
Every time a fighting craft ap-
preached the barrel fence" a subma-
rine chaser would open the gate by
pulling a string Of the barrels back.
We had a vivid demonstration of
the effectiveness of these nets.
