FUNDS FOR A WAREHOUSE
BIG TOBACCOMEETING AT COURT
HOUSE DESPITE ROADS
Discuss Proposition Pro and Con--De-
eide to Build and Select Commit
tee to Raise Funds

Despite the very worst kind of roads
a large number of tobacco growers
gathered at the court house Monday
afternoon and staged very energetic
discussion of the proposed building of
a farmers warehouse. Senator Ben
nett, District Attorney Smith and
Judge Mahoney were the principal
speakers, and not little difference
of opinion resulted in the debate-not
as to the desire to build but as to the
form the organization should take.
A committee composed of B.0Dahl,
C. o. Helgeson, c. W. Moore, f. J.
Jennings and John Huschka was Sc
lected to investigate, canvass the farm
ers for funds, and to report to sim
liar meeting to be held at the court
house on Monday, March 81, at which
time an organization will be effected
Stock subscriptions to the amount of
$4,000 have already been pledged.
Previous to the meeting a session of
the county Equity society was held.
Delegates were present from different
locals in the county. Reports from the
different sections showed increase in
membt rship. Attendance was of
course poor from far distances due to
the almost impossible roads. Officers
for the ensuing year were elected as
follows: d. o. Mahoney, president;
Joe Waddell, vice president; Andrew
Urness, secretary and treasurer. Sc
lection of place of next quarterly
meeting was left to the officers. Re-
port of Sec. Urness showed the finan-
cial condition of the county organiza-
ton to be in excellent condition. The
meeting adjourned and practically all
present attended the tobacco confer
ence Immediately afterwards.

Big Crowd Packs Star Theatre and
Endorses Proposition - Council
Takes Favorable Action

A large audience thronged the Star
theatre Monday evening and discussed
the proposed erection of hospital in
the city of Viroqua. It was very evil
dent as to the favorable sentiment of
those present, not an unfavorable COM
ment being made. l.. c. Boyle, chair
man of the committee appointed to in
vestigate and report, presented the re-
suit of their findings, saying that
$4,000 was little more than would be
necessary. The meeting voted unan-
imousiy to favor the proposition.
At their meeting last evening the
Council passed an ordinance which APP
pears below. That body has full pow
er to authorize the bond issue, unless
citizens petition for special election.
ORDINANCE NO. 100

site and building a Municipal Hospital in the
City OF Niroqua.
The Mayor and the Common Council of the
City of Viroaua do ordain as follows;

IT WAS SOME SPRING THAw
Rain and Thaw Puts Railroads Out
of Commission ..

The warm rain of Saturday after
noon played havoc with transporta-
ton facilities in this locality, and in
fact all of the Lacrosse district. The
Southeastern was laid up from Satur-
day until Tuesday morning with Sc
we're washouts between Chaseburg and
Stoddard. The Reno Preston Branch
and the Green Bay on the other side
of the river were similarly handled,
the Kickapoo branch was badly torn
up, the through lines of the Burling-
ton and Milwaukee interfered with
several hours and the Burlington
bridge at Winona was put out of COM
mission.
There was just enough frost to turn
most of the water that fell, and to-
gether with the snow it transformed
peaceful creeks into raging rivers.
Geo. Schroeder and j. A. Moen were
in Chippewa Falls and the railroad
company routed them clear down to
GAINESVILLE and back up the Northwest
ern to Sparta in order to get home
more than three hundred miles to go

What Other Editors Saw
A SUGGESTION WELL RECEIVED.

On this page of The Georgian today will be
found splendid editorial from the Americus
Times Recorder, in which that excellent newspaper
suggests in cordial, dignihed and convincing terms
the fitness of Mr.. Shepard Bryan, of Atlanta, for
the vacancy upon the Federal Court of Appeals
bench, occasioned by the lamented death of Judge
Pardee.
There is little to be said in addition to the
comment of the Americus paper. The suggestion
it advances is pregnant with good sense and
opportunity that it carries its own argument to its
logical end.
MIR. Bryan is an ideal judge He is fitted for
the high position, both because of his legal ability
and mental poise. He would make thoroughly
competent and upright judge. His appointment
would be pleasing to the bar of the South gener-
ally. 1t would place upon the federal bench cap
able judge, wholly free of political bias or partisan
alignment.
What could the most jealous of zealots
in respect to these appointments ask?-Atlanta

IMPORTANCE or WAGON ROAD
Dne Drawback to Fall of Rain Is Tha!
Roads Are Made impossible
for Several Days.

But for one fact, all Of US could re-
joice in this rain, meaning as much
Us it does to the growing crops. The
one drawback is the unfortunate fact
that the rain will make the roads al
most impossible for several days. But
the rain is not to blame for this state
of affairs. We are. We ought to have
roads on which the only effect of rain
would be to wash them clean-just as
it does with the city paVements. And
it's not for the joy-riders alone that
we need such roads, says Wichita
Eagle. If we had good roads, farmers,
who can't work In their fields after a
rain, could do their hauling on such
days. Now the rain that prevents
working the fields prevents hauling to
market, except light loads, and at a
prohibttive cost. The wagon haul of
agricultural products is infnitesimal in
distance, as compared with the rail
and water haul, yet it costs actually
more, according to government sta
tisttcs. For the benefit of the farmer
we need good roads

Road Drag Hitch.

and the water, instead of standing In
the road and making the holes deeper,
must run off to the side-and the trav-
eler has a good road.
The road dragger, or "dragman," as
he usually is called, is like clay work
er when he shapes up the puddled
earth and smOOths the road. He puts
the surface In condition and gets the
standing water off, and the roadbed
dries in that condition instead of hold
ing the water and letting the traffic
could not shape this up with dust any
more than the clay worker could fash
ion bis image with dry dirt. But If he
gets out right after rain, while the
earth is puddled, he can work his road
and the traffic will help him, for the
water will be forced out and off the
surface. That is why it is so import
ant to drag when the roads are not too
dry to puddle or compact Perhaps
the traffic is sufficient to cut up the
road after it is dragged, and this dis
courages the man who does the drag
ging. But in that case he should fol-
low over the road and do it again If
necessary and win the fight for a good
road. IF he waits until the road is
dry because the vehicles rut up his
dragged road he will simply plane off
the surface and not remove the trou-
bic. If he drags a second or perhaps
a third time he will work toward q
hard surface, impervious to water and
with a minimum of dust, which is the
evidence Of a well-dragged highway.
Perhaps, if the vehicles cut q road
when it is first being dragged, the Griv-
,ers may be persuaded to drive by the
side, if that is feasible, while the road
Is first drying out or freezing.

MAINTAIN ROADS WITH DRAG
No Better or Cheaper Way of Keeping
Highways in Good Order Than
by Using Implement.

Road dragging is so simple an under
taking, providing the road to be drag
ged is first graded, drained and shaped
properly, that q summary of its bene-
fits cannot be presented too often,
writes George B. Harrison in Farmers
Mail and Breeze. Anyone can make a
drag and even boy can keep a piece
Of road in good shape with the proper
instruction at the beginning. A 10
inch or Pinch log between s and 9
feet long or two by II plaEks with
? by 6 reinforcing strips of the same
length, four cross sticks, chain,
boards for the platform and a metal
wearing strip are certainly procurabIe
anywhere.
The theory in road dragging which
has proved practicable for road i'm
provement is to smooth and shape up
the puddled earth of q road to fill the
ruts and holes and force the water off
the roadway. "PUddled" earth on a
road is the wet earth which has been
worked up by traffic so that it is dense
and when cOmpacted will not let the
water seep away. If this cOmpacting
is done without any direction ruts and
holes appear and hold the water and
make a bad road. But if the puddled
earth be spread smoothly over the sur
face Of the road with somewhat of q
rounded effect it dries firm and hard,
