USE OF BEEF CuRTAILED
BY FOOD Chief

And yet again the cry for help
has sped across the seas to America.
Once more the allied armies. who are
fighting with their backs to the wall,
waiting and praying for the time when
America can fully and without stint
hurl her mighty forces onto the foe
and crush them back. back beyond
the Rhine, have asked Americans at
home to help
The beef supply is falling short.
Americas reserve Is very low. The nj
lied demand is constantly increasing.
America and her people must save
beef.
II is the hope OF the U. s. Food Ad-
ministration that during the next
three months the civilian demand for
beef will be greatly decreased. and
to this end Herbert Hoover has issued
an order prohibiting the hotels and
restaurants from serving beef In any
form for more than four meals a week.
These beef" days are definitely
named, and beef in any Of It's forms
can only be served at these times.
1.-THE food administration realizes"
stated Robert ]. Grant. executive man.
nger OF Colorado food administration,
"that II cannot enforce the beef rul
ings in private homes. nevertheless II
is in these homes that most Of tho
beef will be saved. Voluntary ration.
ing has been tremendously successful
in the past and It will not fail in the
meat crisis"
In England long lines OF people
weave slowly and patiently into ,
shop in order to obtain a scanty sup
ply of bones for which they pay IS
cents for five pounds. The people Of
the states are not asked to live on
bones. They are only asked to substi.
tute In some degree fresh pork. bacon,
ham and the beef by-products for a
while.
We are at war. The war IL ours.
Those OF us who stay at home must do
our fighting by conserving the supply
Of beef for shipment to the places
where II is most needed.

Why Advertised Stores Succeed

Why Advertised Stores Succeed
The advertised store gives the
people news in which the people are
interested. The closer an item Of
fact comes to the personal affairs of
the people, the more persons are in
terested IN it. There are few items
n a newspaper that come closer home
to our daily life than an announce
ment that a merchant has a lot Of
goods which he can offer at an IN
usually low price.
When you get lot Of people tc
reading about a store and what it is
doing and offering, the same people
will soon be seen visiting that store
The desire is so keen to avoid the
high prices, that any suggestion Of
economies attracts a crowd.
A store that advertises bargains
impresses them as a store where. there
is life and motion and things doing.
So the advertised store is the we'll
filed store. and the well filed store
is the store that does a big business.

The boys or young men, who were
guilty of removing the willow hedge
recently planted along the west line
of W. G. Vessels residence property,
on Washington Avenue on the night
of Halloween should be made to re
place the hedge, and then punished
for such an offense There certainly
can be no pleasure in thus destroy
ing property. Neither is the act cute
or funny. Everybody is offended there
by and disgusted by such action on
the part of anybody. Why boys will
wontanly do such things we cannot
understand. All the boys should stand
ready to protect property and help
owners beautify their premises in

FACTS About
OUR ROADS
rom Good Roads Magazine

from Good Roads Magazine
The total expenditures on roads
md bridges in 1917, in this country,
BY and under the supervision Of the
arious State Highway Departments
amounted to sos, Its, 8321L.
OF this amount, $4I280,7O6 were
state funds, and $50,888,536 local
funds.
The local road and bridge expend-
itures, for the same year, not ex-
pended under the supervision Of the
safe Highway Departments, amounted
to $181, 736. 900.
The total expenditures in Wiscon-
sin for road and bridge work for that
year was $4,386,554, Of which ST.
050.888 was from state funds and
So. 1886, $3.50 from local funds. This
does not include expenditures or
township road and bridge work, which
amounted to approximately $780,
900.
The above figures include construc-
lion, maintenance, engineering, ad-
ministration and equipment.
The total number of miles of road
built in that year under state super
vision amounted to 1896; roads
maintained with state aid, 181, SOL
miles; bridges built, 50,161.
In Wisconsin 1000 miles Of state
aid roads were built in that year,
which included SGT miles of earth
roads.
The total mileage of the public
roads in all the states is 2, 457, 1874, Of
which 296,2OO are surfaced, or p per
cent.
IN Wisconsin the total road mile
age is 1920. Of this total 1890
are surfaced, or 1913 per cent. The
sotaI mileage Of state aid roads built
IN Wisconsin to date is 6,070. A study
If United States government reports
indicates the growing tendency of
he states to centralize highway i'm
9rovements in q competent, central
tzed, safe control. Thus while in the
year 1914 the state highway depart
nants directed the expenditure Of SIS,
$4,000 for maintenance, in 1917 this
lad increased TO $27. 649,732.
The increase of traffic demands has
brought about an increased tendency
to build roads of a higher type. We
have today in this country over g.
100000 motor vehicles, of which 10
per cent. are estimated to be motor
trucks. These motor vehicles repre-
sent potential traffic capacity Of
| 100000, 600 vehicles miles per day
and q total horsepower Of at least
/ 100. 100000. Fifteen years ago prac-
icalIv all cur traffic On the highways
was horse drawn. In a representa-
tive agricultural state like Iowa, a
seven day count, made at q stations
| ii II counties. showed that the horse
! drawn traffic was but Il per cent. OF
the total.
AS far as traffic is concerned we
ere living in a changing world and
we must begin to meet the changed
conditions.

Practical Education

Many people who admit the value
Of technical instruction and training in
hand work, say that it is not practical
to introduce it. They feel the school
courses are so crowded with subjects
that there is no time to take on new
branches. Also the expense would be
too great.
Yet if we can turn out q hody of
young men who by reason of higher
standards of mechanical work and
skill, can turn out a larger product
in our factories, it is very poor poll
cy to deny them the equipment and
the special teachers they need.
The great trouble with our mechan-
zeal production is that the mass of the
workpeople are satisfied with very
ordinary and mediocre grades of work
The man who can be spurred on to
think about his work, to study the
materials he handles to learn the very
best way of working those materials
and to learn never to be satisfied until
he has turned out a perfect product
in a minimum of time and effort. that
man is going to turn out a product
twice as valuable as the average me-
chanics, their production will be
doubled in value.
Ideas of this kind are best impaired
in schools, when people are young
and their life habits are more easily
formed.
This kind of work needs of course
instruction from competent technical
teachers, who have ideals of crafts.
manship, and can teach boys how t.
acquire a high range Of mechanical
skill.
But it need not be so expensive a.
some people think. One teacher il

RED CROSS MEN
SH()USPIRIT
Of SOLDIERS

Working all night under shell fire
compelled to wear gas masks all the
time but showing great contempt for
danger, Section SIS. 101 Of the Amer
lean Red Cross recently handled l.
286 wounded, and yet found time to
help the British remove their men.
This section of 20 ambuIances. a
staff car, a canton and kitchen went
into service as soon as It reached the
front, and remained throughout the
fighting. Many holes were shot in
the cars, and in one instant a shell
carried away the entire steering gear
and left the driver hold the wheel
aIoft. IN six days the section handled
721 sitting cases and SOS lying down
cases.
Lieut.. Fish, in command, makes
special mention Of these men for good
and fearless work:
Anthony Belock and George CALI
han. worked from 1880 p. m. to noon
of next day, carrying 800 wounded.
Were under heavy shell fire and had
to wear gas masks all the time.
N. E. Daggett, worked all night at
a rear post, and when relieved asked
to be sent to a front station and work
ed under heavy fire for another y
hours.
Albin Swanson, showed great dis
regard fo~ danger, and twice volun-
teered to go to advanced post when
it was not his turn.
L. L. Wenhem, did steady work al
through, and when a shell smashed
his car he took that Of man who had
collapsed.
Friedrich Marcel did good work, and
rendered special service in aiding
Lieutenant Fish and Howe to remove
damaged ambulance from an ad-
vanced post.
