FARMERS FOR SERVICE
State Council of Defense Pass Resolu-
tions Attesting Great Service Farmers
Rendered the State Since War Began.

Rendered the State Since War Began.
Recognizing the great service the
farmers of the state of Wisconsin have
rendered the state from the beginning
of the great world war until its close
the State Council of Defense at meet
ing held last week went on record by
adopting a resolution unanimously at
testing to the patriotic service of that
class of Wisconsins citizens. The pre-
amble and resolutions in full reads:
Whereas: The farmers Of Wis
consin in the fact Of great difficulties
which have arisen in consequence Of
the world war have responded SO nobly
to the nation IS call for men and
money, which sacrifice has been borne
with equal fortitude by their wives
and children.
Whereas: AS a result of the pa
tient and patriotic toll of our farm
ers, their wives and children, the pro-
duction Of all foods so necessary to
the maintenance of our civilian popula-
tion, our allies and our armies in the
field has been SO materially increased
in this state during the past year.
Be is therefore resolved: That
the sincere appreciation of the Wis
consin State Council Of Defense
which words are inadequate to ex-
press be extended to the farmers
and their families of Wisconsin and
"Be it further resolved: That the
Wisconsin States Council Of Defense
in continuation of its present policy -
pledge to the farmers Of this state the
assistance Of every state agency that
can be utilized to make their efforts
for the coming year equally productive
of results 50 important to the nation :
welfare.

PROVIDES Big FUND
FOR COUNTY ROADS
County Board Adopts Reso-
luton Providing Appro-
priation of $4,000 for
Next Year.
.HERzOG WINS REELECTION


Kenosha county will expend $86,284
for the building of permanent high
ways during the year 1919, in addition
to amounts which were appropriated
this year and not expended.
The county board made provisions
for the road work on Saturday after
noon when, without division Of the
board, resolution was passed appro-
priating the sum Of $48,784 from the
funds Of the county, for the road work
during the coming year There is to be
added to this sum $4,000 provided
from the state highway funds, $4,000
provided from the federal and state
highway funds and $4,000 to be pro-
vided for by the various towns in the
county.
The appropriations will make posi-
bic the carrying out Of large amount
Of work planned in connection with the
extension of the state highways in
Kenosha county and more work is pro-
vided for all of the towns than in the
previous year. Several of the towns
have considerable appropriations made
in 1917 when work was stopped by
orders Of the federal war board and
this will be taken care Of in connec-
ton with the new work. With these
additions to the funds it is expected
that more than 100000 will be expend-
ed for permanent road building in the
county during the coming year.
The resolution adopted provides for
the building of sixteen or eighteen
foot concrete road to replace the ma
cadam portion of the Geneva road just
west of the city limits, and this piece
of road will be the first to be put in
after the opening Of the new building
season. 1t will connect directly with
the brick pavement at the west end of
Salem avenue The resolution also pro-
vides for the building of another mile
and, a half of concrete on the Geneva
road directly west of the end of the
present improved road The compile
ton of the Sheridan Road has already
been provided for and while the work
may not all be completed this year it
will be finished before the opening of
the summer season of 1919. Other
plans provide for the improvement of
gravel roads in all parts of the county.
Herzog Is REFLECTED.
John Herzog, who has served the
county with distinction in the office of
highway commissioner for the past two
years, was reelected at an increase of
salary. He received all but one vote
of the members of the board on the
informal ballot and no other candidate
for the position was proposed. The
work of Mr.. Herzog in Kenosha coun-
ty has attracted attention in surround
inc counties and Kenosha roads are
rapidly becoming models for road work
in this section Of the state.
The annual report of Commissioner
Herzog will not be presented to the
board until the January session, the
delay being granted in order to make
it possible to cover, by the report, all
of the work done in the county during
the present year.
/ With the passage Of the road resolu-
tions the board practically cleared the
important work Of providing for high
