According TO Mr.. Joe Gannon's plan
h is the idea to seek the marking Oh

ing in and out OF Cloyerland with the
red arrow OF the 32nd division made
0p OF Michigan and Wisconsin men,
and coming from the hghting front
with one OF the best records made by
anv American division over there.
The 32nd fought we'll enough TO be
hohored by having a highway named
after IL, and this would be perma-
nent recognition, too, as the road Is

a red arrow would be easy for all
drivers.
Even. in Wisconsin, wet state al
the present time, it could be easily
recognized, because an arrow is
particularly distinctive mark, and al
so 1t is the sign that directs. On your
map you will find north is always in

point. Any particular spot Is shown
by the sign of the arrow, and what
could be more appropriate than an ar
row pointing 10 Cloverland and show

famous fghting division and leading
TO one Of the most interesting portions
OF the union
There may be Dixie Ways and
Roosevelt Trails, but the red arrow
will be as conspicuous as any OF them
and will mean quite as much because
the thirty-second was made up OF

they are home and the fight won lei

fine idea, one that means much, so

Now, as to the Roosevelt highway
and the route II will take: There
must be main line. a trunk line,
so-called, and 1t ought to be as direct
as possible In It's course To have
such road go winding about and en-
deavoring to make all the towns in a
region would be ridiculous Those
who travel the Roosevelt Trail in the
upper peninsula OF Michigan will want
to see the attractive places in Cloy-
erland no matter where the Roosevelt
road may run. There will be branch
pixies connecting with II that will be
just as fine in road surface as the
