Leymore Johnson, a child six years
of age, was recently criminally as
saulted and outrageously abused by
one, Frank Saladino, a young Itali-
an. September 10Th the case was call
ed in the Municipal court and for some
reason unexplained at present the ac-
cused was permitted to go and the
case apparently abandoned by the au-
thorities. 1t would seem that this is
a fit case for the serious consideration
of all believers of justice and the due
administration Of the law. Private
counsel has been employed and money
is needed to defray expenses.
Now, |. as president of the Coop
erative Development and Progressive
Association of the State of Wiscon-
sin, do hereby call upon every mem
Der of said association and all believ-
ers in fair play and justice to con-
tribute to this expense as it is now i'm
possible to say to what ends it may be
necessary to go to secure the proper
administration Of the law in respect
to this foul crime.
Contributions may be sent to Miss

alton. at III North Washington ST.,

receipt for same.

ROAD : BUILDING
FACTORS IN ROAD BUILDING
Necessity Emphasized in Giving Great est Consideration to All
 Local Conditions.

CPrepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 Theory is simply the sign post that points the way in road building, while Judgment is the vehicle on which the journey Is dependent, says pub- lication on "The Design of Public Roads" by the United States depart ment of agriculture.
 The publication emphasizes the necessity of giving the greatest con- sideration to all local factors In road construction. In order to furnish the kind of roads that a community wants and to furnish them with the least possible drain on the public treasury, the person who designs them must be thoroughly familiar with local cOndi- tions and must possess the judgment necessary to weigh the importance of all considerations. The publication makes no attempt to state definite and exact rules for designing roads to suit every locality but takes up sep arately the important features of the problem with a view to showing the variations in current practice and the influence of some special conditions with regard to each feature.
 In order to select the type of sur face best adapted to the need of a particular road, 1t Is necessary to con- sider first, the class of traffic to which the road will be subjected, and second. to compare the estimated ulti- mate cost of the different surface types which would be capable of sat isfactorily caring for that particular class of traffic. The number of roads for which accurate traffic and eff ciency records have been kept is said to be insufficient to warrant definite conclusions as to the best type for any particular class of traffic, but the following summary is said to contain about as definite information on this point as can be drawn from available records.
 (a) Earth roads, when properly maintained, are satisfactory in dry weather for a light volume of all kinds of highway traffic.
 (b) Sand-clay roads are the same as earth roads, except that the sur facing material has been selected care fully with a view to increasing the stability of the surface in both wet and dry weather. They are satisfac- tory for moderate traffic of horse drawn vehicles and light traffic of automobiles. They seldom are satis- factory for even light traffic of heavy trucks unless the roadbed ma terial is very stable.
 (c) Gravel roads, when we'll built, are satisfactory for a heavy traffic of

 (d) Water-bound macadam roads are adapted to the same general char acter of traffic as gravel roads.
 (e) Surface-treated macadam roads are adapted especially for heavy traffic of automobiles. They also are satisfactory for light traffic of horse-drawn vehicles and heavy trucks. In all cases they require con- stant maintenance.
 (f) Bituminous roads are suitable for heavy traffic of both automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles and a mod crate traffic of heavy trucks.
 (g) Concrete roads are adapted to the same general class of traffic as bituminous roads, and generally are capable of withstanding the traffic of somewhat heavier vehicles without in- jury.
 (h) Brick roads are adapted to the same general class of traffic as con- crete roads. Either brick or concrete roads, however. may be economical for only moderate traffic where other road-building materials are scarce.
