THINK VAMPIRES KILL SHEEP
Macedonian Shepherds Have Firm Be-
lief In the Existence OF Creatures
of a Lower World.

A Macedonian shepherd, tending his
fiocks In the high pastures. sets of
on his rounds In the morning, and finds
several OF his sheep mangled about the
neck, dying or dead. He hastens to
the nearest village and spreads the aw-
full news-vampires!
Now, a vampire may only be seen
BY PERTAIN gifted people, and these
make i their llfe's business to destroy
them. Their usual fee is about sixty
dollars. So the shepherd hastens to
a vampire killer, and this man takes
Down his long musket, loads it, and
rams down a molly wafer on top OF
the charge. He puts on a long sheep
skin coat and sets out for the hills.
Just before dawn he will be heard
to fire single shot. At daybreak he
shows the shepherd pool Of blood.
That Is the dead vampire, for q vam-
pire is all blood, and being shot, of
course resolves into pool Of blood.
A vampire slayer is treated with
great defefence by his neighbors. He
is a power in the land. But in all
villages there Is usually one scoffer;
one man who can read, or, perhaps,
has travelled outside his native land.
He laughs when you mention vampires,
and talks Of wolves and dogs that have
run amuck. He even hints that 1T Is
possible to hide q bladder filled with
blood beneath the long sheepskin coat
the slayer wears. There Is bad feeling
between the vampire slayer and this
scoffer. They pass each other without
speaking.

WHAT ABOUT "YOUR TOWN"
from the Extension Division of the
University of Wisconsin.
n. E. DEARHoLT., nj D., DIRECTOR

I "Ourtown" is directly across the
river from an intense rival of Their
town" The inhabitants of the villages,
which are practically Of the same size,
although ours is somewhat larger, car
ry the rivalry into everything from
baseball to social affairs, politics and
religion. We are quite convinced that
we do things very much better on our
side Of the river than they do on theirs.
The handling of the present epidemic
of influenza is no exception. Theirtown
has had a large number of cases and
several deaths while in Ourtown but
seven families have been affected and
there have been no deaths. [ would not
speak Of this in what may be considered
boastful spirit were it not for the fact
that there is in our respective exper-
fences a life saving lesson for cities and
villages.
We have specialized in health pro-
lection in Onrtown. Our Health
Board has as good citizens on it as we
have. The appropriations for its work
have be N generous and are expended
for the most modern disease fighting
agencies. The school children's health
is supervised by we'll paid health
nurse who is as ambitious to keep dis
ease out of the community as good
housewife is to keep bedbugs out of her
house.
Theirtown is different. The people
are looking backward instead of for
ward. They say that what was good
enough for them when they were
young is good enough for their children.
They boast about their low tax rate in
stead of their low death rate. And yet
neither the town as whole nor the
individual families are as prosperous as
are we who live across the river. 1t
seems SO obvious to Us that there can
be no wealth without health that we
cannot understand how any community
can remain so persistently ignorant as

ROADS
GOOD ROADS FOR MILITARY
Smooth Highways imperative in Prop
er Movement Of Army Equip
nent Along Coasts.

1t is generally recognized by gov
eminent officials, especially those of
the army that one Of the most i'm
portant phases Of real military pre-
paredness that can possibly be under
taken in this country is that which is
going on under the impetus of the
good roads movement. The federal
aid road act which was signed by
President Wilson last summer will
probably play an important part in
this same interest. An appropriation
of S75,O0O,O00 has been provided for
in this act for use in CONSTRUCTING
rural post-roads, while the various
states are to cooperate in providing
like fund.
It is planned thus for an expendi-
ture Of $150,000,O00 On such roads
within the next five years. Although
the roads are intended primarily for
the purpose of developing the re-
sources of the national forests, and
in the interest Of agriculture and 9TH
er peaceful enterprises, some study Is
now being made Of their practical use
in the interest of military prepared
ness.
A good road, we'll built, well sur
faced and well drained may be, it is
pointed out, of immense value from a
military point Of view. In the location
of roads, particularly along the shore,
special attention to military require
ments in the laying out and planning
of a highway may prove of inestimable
value at some time in the future when
that highway becomes q military road.
From an economic standpoint it is
estimated that it costs % cents to haul
a ton a mile on the average country
road under present conditions, While
under proper conditions the cost would
be but 10 cents. While these figures
measure a direct cost, there is an
even greater Indirect cost to consider
with bad roads when the farmer must
plan his operations according to the
weather.
1t is a matter of special interest
that at the present time roads on the
Pacific coast and those in some Of
the important Atlantic states which

would be of particular use for etfec-
tive military purposes In defending
our coasts are already in very good
condition. There is one trunk road
which runs all the way from southern
California up through Oregon, with
many smaller roads branching from
it, that is said to be in the best of
condition.
Yet it is matter Of regret that the
unsurfaced roads Of the United States
if laid out in a straight line would, it
is estimated, girdle the earth at the
equator more than eighty times, while
the surfaced roads would reach but
One-fourth that distance. However,
there has been greatly increased ex-
penditures for road building and main
tenance in the last decade and there
is now a more hopeful outlook with
the five-year construction program
provided under the federal aid act.
