have been the texts which have car

knowledge the hope that is necessary

We have come far, but there is
much still to do Ignorance remains
the worst foe of humanity. Every man
ought to feel the responsibility of

And though many sanatoriums have

coming more and more to see such
provision as a public duty, there is
still great opportunity for those who
can help, whether in individual cases
by making it possible for sufferers
to get away from surroundings of

APPRECIATED
nal.

The returned soldiers and those who
labored to make Honor Day in Sank
county a success should feel that it
was a remarkable day. Every one
was pleased to see SO many soldiers
in uniform and this was greatly ap-
preciated by all their friends 1t was
thrilling to see them march and this
was one of the central features OF
the day. In the beginning there was
some uncertainty about the program
in fact lack of enthusiasm, and it
is largely due to County Clerk F. A.
Cooper the program was presented.
He was enthusiastic and went for
ward with the plans as carried out.
Others came to the rescue and the re-
suit is highly satisfactory. There
never was a greater day in Baraboo
and ito the many who worked long
and faithful the county owes deep
appreciation.

1t is sometimes asked why the
public does not have more confidence
in the statements OF big business
concerns bearing on trade and mar
ket conditions. One reason to ae-
count for the public's lack Of abso-
lutte faith in what is told it may be
found in the facility and readiness
with which one big business is called
a liar by another big business. Di-
rector General Hines tells a Senate
committe that the public should
not believe the coal operators whan
they try to justify higher coal prices
on the ground OF difficulties in get
ting cars. 1t may be case of
passing the buck" but how can the
public believe anybody higher UP in
these great monopolistic industries

The art crankist gives Betsy just

appreciation.

Secretary Baker should not make
any apologies for the experiment in
shop management which the war de-
partment has been promoting at the
Rock Island arsenal remarks the
Springfield Republican. Many people
must regard it as one of the best
things done by this administration
a really forward looking develop
ment to quote one of Mr.. Wilson S
phrases. The experiment obviously
involves no impairment of the final
authority or responsibility of the
commandant of the works; it does en-
able the civilian employees, through
committee chosen by themselves,
to participate in the shop manage
ment. The same development has
taken place in private establish
ments here and there, and a progress
sive government will not be blind to
developments OF this character.

ROAD F."
BUILDING
MOTOR TRUCKS ON HIGHWAYS
Series of Impacts Being Conducted at
Arlington to Determine Impact
on Roads.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
To determine the destructive effect
OF heavily loaded auto trucks on high
ways and streets, and to meet the de-
mand for data on the design OF road
surfaces and foundations to withstand
such heavy traffic, a series OF expert
ments is being conducted by the bu-
reau of public roads at the Arlington
experiment farm to- determine the i'm
pact OF auto trucks on roads.
The most striking single develop
ment in the highway field in 1918 was
the tremendous increase in motor
truck traffic. Five years ago heavy
motor trucks We're few in number and
limited practically entirely to the
paved streets of larger cities. These
vehicles now comprise probably A to
D per cent of the grand total of all
motor vehicles and are to be found
wherever, traffic conditions permit
profitable use. But very few roads
were designed to carry any large vol
ume of this class of traffic. Conse-
quently, the cost of adequate main
tenance was increased greatly during
the year. In many places the damage
due to the incessant pounding of these
fast and heavy vehicles was so great
as to require complete reconstruction.
