GIVE US THE COUNTRY TOWN

The city may have many advantages
over the small town but most of them
we can get by going to the city for
a few days two or three times year.
And we have a lot of advantages
which city folks can't get. They tear
off to the country for a week or two
in the summer and try and crowd re-
superation for a whole year into two
weeks. But they can't do it. The city
pace is too fast and as a result hun
dreds of the population are subject
to high blood-pressure due to over ex-
ertion and worry. Once in a while we
hear of a case in the country, but
very seldom.
Let them have their beautiful stores,
their theatres, their art Institutes and
their libraries. We will trade with
them for just two weeks out of the
fifty-two, our pure air, our sunshine
our friendly greetings, our neighbors'
calls, our quiet nights and our own
beautiful little town.

good books for the price of one bead
ed hand-bag-a very low priced one
at that-but this thot never occurs to
them. Their friends might never see
the books; they might not notice any
change as result of reading the
cooks and consequently would never
know that forty or sixty dollars had
been expended. And what is the use of
spending money if people don't know
you are spending it?
A neat and well-groomed appear
ance is a great asset and a positive es-
sential of a successful business per-
son, but it has been carried to ride
ulous extremes the past year. The
wealthy girls and women now are
identified by the plainness and SIM
plicity of their dress.

MILES OF ROAD
CONSTRUCTED IN. 1920

The Wisconsin Highway Commission
has compiled its record of road con
struction work done in the State dur
ing the year 1919, five counties, Bur
nett, Columbia, Fond du Lac, Iowa
and Kewaunee, have not yet sent in
their reports) The total estimated
cost of the 1919 work is So, 769 .853.17
for State Aid road construction, and
| S7O7, 346.61 for Co nty Aid road con
struction. The actual work accom-
plished exclusive of Federal Aid con-
struction was as follows:
Miles graded, 1089.4; miles graded
not surfaced, 667.4; miles surfaced on
old State Aid grading, 1888; vitrified
brick or stone block pavement, OIL; BIZ
luminous, Ia; cement concrete pave
ment, 65.8; crushed stone macadam.
81 0; crushed macadam bituminous.
OIL; crushed gravel macadam, O.119;
pit run gravel road, 2427; shale, 1928;
iron ore, 0.S; disintegrated granite,
57.1; sand or clay surfacing, 34.2.
In addition to the road constructive
proper there is reported the construc-
ton Of 104 State Aid bridges at an
estimated cost of 1926, 368.O6, and 585
County Aid bridges at an estimated
cost of 9S1,295.OO.
Estimates from all the counties but
the five named above indicate that
1888 miles of road surface was treat
ed with bituminous materials, which
required $4,000 gallons of tar pro-
ducts and 465,O00 gallons of bitumin-
Gus material of other type
To construct 400 miles of concrete
pavement with the necessary grading
and drainage structures; to construct
about 1000 miles of macadam and 9th
err rock-built roads with the necessary
grading and drainage structures, the
two tasks involving the expenditure of
approximately S18,OOO,0OO, and in ad-
dition to all this to expend between
two million and three million dollars
in the maintenance of roads already
constructed, is a rough sketch of the
program laid out for the Wisconsin
Highway Commission for 1920.

THE WINTER WOOD

| went into the winter wood
Wondering if life is good,
And [ said to the bare, black trees,
"YOu have no green to give me ease,
Oh, why am | here, who am sick of
feeling
The hurt in my heart that has no
healing?"
But the brown leaves whispering under
my feet
Had pleasant things to talk about,
The cold clean air was spicy and
sweet,
And the path run softly in and out
Where henlocks smoothed a velvet
song;
The leaves of laurel were green and
strong,
And the foaming creek had more to
Than on tawny August day;
| heard the water fall between
It's rimy sparkling rocks rejoice,
With deep laughter in it's voice
There were no birds and little green,
But who could leave the winter wood
Wondering if life is good?

HOW 10 BE POLITE

Do not try, or perhaps we should
say, do not make your attempts ap-
parent. Never overwhelm your friends
by begging them to make themselves
at home. Show by your actions rather
than your words that you are glad to
see them. More hospitality can be ex-
pressed in quiet hand clasp than in
a hundred fiowery words of welcome.
And above all have enough regard
for yourself to treat your greatest
enemy with politeness. All petty
Sights are merely meanness and hurt
yourself more than anyone else.

DON'T HIDE YOUR LIGHT

The wheel that squeaks the loud9st
is the one that gets the grease. Don't
hide your light under bushel. If
you have an honest opinion when any
one asks you about a certain subject
express it. Too many of us are in
clined to let time burn up without
throwing in our little log to brighten
the fame. Probably many of our citi-
zens have lot of mighty fine ideas
about civic improvement and they are
afraid to give them light Speak up
gentlemen. They can't possibly be
any worse than some that are aired
daily.

DON'T BE EXTRAVAGANT

Among a certain class of people the
dollar is becoming the standard by
which everything is measured The
young man III Chicago is becoming
famous who went into a department
store and refused to buy perfume for
he knew that the girl for whom the
gift was intended would Judge it and
would judge him simply by the amount
Of money he spent. So he must look
further in order that his best girl
might spill forty or fifty cents worth
of perfume on the front of a twenty
dollar waist every morning before 60
ing to work and have the assurance
that the girl at the next desk had
nothing better.
There are hundreds of examples of
the same wasteful extravaganza. Some
young man gives his sweetheart a
beaded bag that cost forty-five dollars
but she is disconsolat ebecause her
friend has one that cost siXty-five dol
lars. 1t is doubtful if either of them
ever read a worthwhile book. They
would probably tell you that Sahara"
was the name of the latest jazz piece
and that Hudson Bay was the place
where the fur in their coats came
from, which they are paying for at
ten dollars a month and which pay
ments will end year from next
spring. That may sound like an ex-
exaggerated case, but it isn't.
These same girls could buy twenty

PERSONAL LIABILITY
FOR FIRE DAMAGE

In Exodus XXII,6, we read: IF fire
break out, and catch in thorns, SO that
the stalks of corn, or the field be con-
sumed, Herewith, he that kindleth the
fire shall surely make restitution"
This is the law of Moses.
A farmer setting a brush fire on
his own land, who permits it to escape
to his neighbours land, is liable for
any damage done to the neighbor by
such fire.
Railroad companies are liable for
damages caused by locomotive sparks.
Tenants have recovered damages
from landlords, caused by fires origin
ating from chimney known to be de-
fective. 80 "
This is the law of today.
The Supreme Court of Michigan has
decided that Cone through whose neg
ligence fire is caused in his building,
which spreads to his neighbor's build
ing, is liable for damages"
to fires caused by gross negligence or
violations of local ordinance or state
law would impress upon all the fact
that "each one'is his brothers keeper"
If your careless neighbor knowing
~ harbors defective chimney, a rub
bish-filled basement, trash-laden at
tic, defective electric wiring, stoves in
stalled so as to endanger woodwork or
is careless in the use of gasoline or the
storage of other oils, oily waste and
rags, thenshe is careless of the safety
Of his own property and family, and
of your property and family, and the
lives Of firemen. It is therefore your
duty to warn him and to notify the
proper authorities Such a man needs
discipline, not sympathy in case he
has fire. He must be. taught the
lesson that since the days of Robin
son Crusoe ."Ne man liveth to himself
alone,' and each owes duty to the
other. Hold him to strict account for
the results of his carelessness.
Further, each=city should, by ordin-
ance, require such man to pay to the
city the cost of putting out a fire, caus-
ed by clear carelessness or negligence.
| Strict enforcement of such laws and
ordinances would eliminate the many
careless fires.
