Money Man Also.

A chauffeur is not usually unbending
enough to add to his burden of dignity
duties not essentially belonging to his
place, muses. the New York Post. Yet
when recently an automobile stopped
at the curb in front of a department
store and the chauffeur all in green
leaped out of his seat to stand at at
tention on the sidewalk while young
woman, the only other occupant If
the machine, alighted and walked to.
ward the entrance of the store, it did
not end for him even with being chauf'
feur and footman. Suddenly the young
woman turned as though she had for
gotten something.
'fMy money, john" she said.
The man in green reached into his
pocket, drew out a purse of feminine
build, and extracted from it roll of
bills.

He handed the money to her and re.
placed the rest of the money in the

Wisconsin Dry Vote In 1919.

The prohibition amendment just
passed by congress will be submitted
to the 1919 regular session of the Wis
consin legislature for consideration,
unless it is included in the call Of the
special session, which seems unlikely.
These resolutions as passed are sent
to the secretary of state of each state.
1t is then his duty to transmit the doc
ument to the regular session Of the leg
1siature. If the regular session acts
favorably on the matter that ends it,
said Secretary of State Merlin Hull.
IF the resolution is defeated it is the
duty of the secretary to continue to
transmit the resolution to each regular
session of the legislature for seven
years if the resolution is alive. If the
legislature takes favorable action the
succeeding legislatures cannot recall
the resolution. Favorable action will
close the matter as far as the state Is
concerned"

Good Roads Boost Rural Schools.

In states credited with good cOun-
try roads, the rural school attendance
is so per cent of the total enrolment.
In other states where the roads are
VIGOROUSLY bad the attendance is GA
per cent of the total enrolment.
This is the statement made by the
good roads bureau of the AssOcia
ton of Commerce after an analysis of
figures compiled on this subject.
In the first example 80 per cent of
the highways are improved and in the
second case only ~ per cent of the
roads are improved. Good roads have
been a large factor in increasing the
number of consolidated rural schools
in the middle West 1t is a significant
fact that it is not the improved high
way that is the heaviest tax on the
farmer, but that it is the almost i'm
passable and bad roads.
Farmers are no more restricted to
move about at q ree-mile-an-hOur
rate, as is shown by the fact that over
40 per cent of all autos are now sold
TO farmers. Seventy-five per cent of
the farmers of the United States own
motor driven vehicles. Iowa, an agri-
cultural state, has a car for every nine
inhabitants; Nebraska follows with
one for every ten, California one for
every II, and Kansas and South Da-
kota one for every 49,
The new state trunk highway law,
which was passed by the last session
of the Wisconsin legislature, will,
after having been in operation
sufficient length of time, place Wis
consin close to the top of the list, both
as to the number of miles of good
roads in the state and the number of
cars in proportion to the population.
