.|NTER-COUNTY ROADS
LEGISLATIVE ACTION MAKES POS
SIBLE BROAD SCHEME THROUGH
OUT THE TE.-FEDERAL AID.

What is called the $6,0OO,O00 high
way bill passed the legislature re-
Gently by tremendous majority and
with the governors signature be-
comes a law Under the plan the fed
eral government will appropriate
$2,O00,000 this sum to be met by a
like amount from the state and pro
rata from the various counties The
state highway commission is author
lied to lay out state trunk line sys-
tenn taking in every county seat and
principal city so that all connect.
In Grant county it is contemplated
to use the road from BOscobel via
FennimOre, Lancaster, Platteville and
Hazel Green for a part of the sys-
tenn. The old Military road from the
county line east Of Montfort to Bridge
port, comes in on the scheme and an
other road will extend from Boscobel
up the Wisconsin river valley to the
county line east Of MuscOda The
observation-disclosures road via Dickey-
vile and Eagle Point will also be in
the plan. Each road must extend to
the county line and couple up with
another intercountry road.
It must be understood that this
scheme has no connection with the
county system Of trunk lines. While
the above described roads are listed
in the county plan they need to be
simply left on the new system and the
money will be available for other pur-
poses or else not used
incidentally it is said that the new
law boosts auto license fees from SIS
to $40.

FOR PRACTICAL USE
SCHOOL BOARD GRANTS USE or
DOMESTIC SCIENCE QUARTERS
70 WOMEN'S LEAGUE.

The school board, at a recent meet
ing, granted the Women's League for
Patriotic Service use of the Domestic
Science department Of the high school
during the summer months. The Ma
tional League urges canning clubs,
where all fruits and vegetables that
are in danger of going to waste may
be saved.
Girls who have had the work in
Home Economics are offering theil
services to the League, and when the
necessity arrives, will be put to work
Thei experience in canning fruits
and vegetables, and their newly &C
quired knowledge of sterilization will
be put to practical and patriotic use.
The canned goods will either be dis
posed of by the local league or the
National League, which guarantees {
market for everything. The steam
cooker. which simplifies vegetable
canning to one process, will be used
The older women of the League are
more than delighted at the way in
which the young girls are Offering to
take hold. 1t marks a sharp contrast
to the days before Domestic Science
was a part of the school curriculum,
when anybody who has ever tried, re-
calls how hard i as to get results
from a crowd of Unframed girls, the
''fiapper" age, doing the work ones
self being decidedly preferable.
Mrs Mariner and Mrs. Auer Of Mil
waukee, sent here by the State Coun-
Gil Of Defense, expressed satisfac-
ton that the Home Economics club
OF the high school is prepared to do
active service for the League, and de-
clared it a matter for congratulation
that the League has young women
trained in practical work to call up
on as it often is impossible 70" house
wives to give their time when the need
is greatest. ***

tive but definite plan for work pre-
pared by E. B. Goodsell, was adopt
ed. Under the plan each town city,

number Of acres cultivated and to
what crops, the condition of crops at
time of making report, whether he has
the necessary help to care for and

put in more crops provided he could
procure necessary help. What he
would be willing to pay for help, and
whether he has any surplus help.
A. A list Of boys and men ranging
in years from fifteen to sixty, giving
ages, present employment and physi-
cal condition should be compiled, be
ing careful to omit none If any are
not citizens of the United States that
fact should be indicated
5. Crop reports and conditions Of
crops should be Indicated
6. Crop reports and conditions
of crops should be reported at least
once month. Vacant or uncultivat
ed lands suitable for cropping should
be reported unless the local commit
tees can see to it that crops are plant
ed thereon.
School children should be encour-
aged by local committees to plant and
tend some crop that will produce food.
Every man, woman and child should
have impressed upon their minds the
paramount necessity of producing and
conserving food.

AMID THE DYNAMOS
HERALD MAN VISITS GALENA AND
SEES HOW THE JUICE is
MADE.-A BIG PLANT.

Geo. z. Angus of the Lancaster
Light & Power Co., and A. L. Sherman
Of the Herald spent last Wednesday
afternoon at Galena, the city so miles
south, where the current for prac-
tically all Grant county is general
ed at the Interstate Light & Power
plant.
The plant itself is one Of the largest
in the west 1t creates electricity by
means OF steam turbines which turn
at a speed of $500 revolutions per
minute and operate huge electric gen
orators which are coupled directly to
them That is they say they are
the affairs themselves are armored
like battle ship and all the innocent
observer can see is the exterior and
hear the ear splitting hum.
To properly grasp the plant it is
necessary to start at the coal pile
where 5000 tOns-enough for forty
days-are stored. This coal is fed in
at the rate Of five carloads a day into
the big boilers. This is done auto
matically. The coal simply slides
along on a movable CRATE and comes
out at the other end as ashes.
Having mastered this department
the Lancaster contingent visited the
compressors, saw the switchboards.
went into the air cleaning room where
the air is washed and cooled by Jets
OF cold water before being sent into
the dynamos, and ended up outside
where the big feeders go off to the
points Of the compass.
The plant was opened in 1909 but
IS vastly bigger at present 1t has an
installed capacity Of 1880 horse
power and is at present developing
about 5000. 1t supplies 33 mines and
towns in addition to the Lancaster
Light & Power Co., with three cities
in the latter territory 80 men are en-
ployed at the plant and As in other de-
partments. The transmission lines
are Ito miles in length. The voltage
at the machines is 1900 but this is
stepped up" to $4,000 by means of
transformers at the plant.
At present the plant is under heavy
guard both day and night. Visitors
are not admitted without pass from
the manager and then they are accom-
panied by an official
Finally the manager Mr.. Miller,
says that the plant is able now to
give excellent service Many defects
have been rooted out and new euuip-
ment installed at an enormous cost.
For instance, iron doors are placed
at the lower windows to prevent Few
er river from backing in at flood stage.
The river would have to rise 25 feet
above low water to reach the, dynamo
floor. The company's slogan is:
Service First Safety Second Cour-
tesy Always" Sounds like a pretty
good one. too.

PLATTEVILLE PARTY
TURNS OVER IN CAR.

A big Cadillac car containing a
party Of Platteville people turned ov-
er about 10 o'clock last Friday night
near the Jacob Wagner farm, nine
miles east of town. All escaped in
jury except Mrs. Bud Moses who was
pinned beneath the car and was taken
out unconscious. The car was badly
wrecked, the steering gear, tenders
and windshield being broken. To cap
the climax cigar or cigarette was
thrown down after the car was right
ed and ignited gasoline on the ground
Luckily the machine was backed out
of further danger.

PRINCE OF BLOOD
VISITS LANCASTER.

Lancaster enjoyed visit last Fri
day from a prince of the blood. This
parsonage of high lineage was none
other than International Parbold Pic
aroon. He stands about three feet
high and has long silky hair. His
eyes are brown and very intelligent
and his features are refined and full
of comeliness. His manners may be
called perfect.
This gentleman with the long
name is a pure bred Scotch Collie
sire shipped here from the kennels Of
Or. Webster, a Toronto, Can, fan
cier. He is now owned by Al. Hun
sacker, proprietor of Maple Hill ken
nels near this city. Mr. Hunsacker
paid $3.50 for Parbold Picaroon, and
says he is cheap at that. He is five
years old and probably never heard
a cross word in his life.
After a short visit here Parbold will
be kept at Madison for residence.

verified into stores and Office rooms ex-
cept for ten upstairs rooms to be used
for an annex and overflow to the no
tel. An architect will be here short

their former home, Sharon They
have no definite plans for the present.
They are capable hotel people and

YOUR 1917 DOLLAR NOW
WORTH ONLY FIFTY CENTS,

G. p Norgord at Fennimore last
Friday stated that in 1912 silver
dollar would buy a certain amount of
goods. In 1915 the sum of $1.35 was
required to buy the same amount. In
1917 $2.O7 was required to buy and
equal quantity that one dollar bought
in 1912. These are reliable figures
and prove that a 1917 dollar is worth
less than half Of what is was five
years ago.
