The Wisconsin Highway Commits
sion has completed plans for new
road across the bottom from the Bur-
lington tracks to the Eagle Point high
bridge into Dubuque. Work will be-
gin in 1921.
The road at this point is heavily
used, During flood season it is gener-
ly under water and last spring it
washed out altogether. The new
road will run directly east from the
bridge to the tracks, shortening the
distance One-third of mile and elm
mating two bad curves.
Plans have been completed and sur
veys made for 24-foot top road. The
bed will be of concrete with base of
sand pumped from Sunfish lake, near
by, and this sand will be covered with
rock. Rock and rip-rap will protect
the walls of the road from the re-
morseless currents of the Father of
Waters when he goes on his annual
rampage down the bottoms:
The road when completed will be a
model of it's kind and afford beauti-
full gateway into the most beautiful of
states. Work will start when the
water level conditions permit.
Onward march Good Roads.

Glass advisors for the girls of the
high school for the year are as follows
Freshmen Miss Roeske
SOphOmoreS Miss Ferebee
Juniors Miss Schuman
Seniors Miss Peterson
At the close of school Thursday the
girls reported to their respective adj
viSors for a short discussion of the
policies that are to be carried out
during the year.
While the girls were attending these
discussions, the boys were also given
few words of advice by Mr.. McNelly.
Because of the large number of boys
that have dropped out of school or
failed to pass in their work during the
last few years, Mr.. Nelly has been
studying the situation to discover
some of the causes. He has much
evidence to prove that many failures
are due to smoking and hanging a
round pool halls. For this year the
proprietors of the pool halls have
agreed that they can make living
without the money that the school
boys might spend with them and are
not going to permit them to hang
around
AS to smoking, the law is very clear
and those responsible have assured
Mr.. McNelly that it viii be enforced.
Chapter 385, Laws of 1919, section
reads as follows:
Any minor being in possession OF
any cigarettes, cigarette paper or Gig
arctic wrappers and being asked by
any sheriff, police officer, village
marshall, truant officer, probation
officer or teacher in any school to tell
where or from whom such cigarettes.
cigarette paper or cigarette wrappers
were obtained, who shall refuse to
furnish such information shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof, shall be punished
by a fine of not more than five dollars.
Section of this same law provides
for. the punishment of the parties fur
nishing the "makings" to minors 49,

WATCH THE SICK PIG
STATE OFFICIALS SAY CHOLERA
NOW PREVALENT AMONG HERDS.
WAYS OF INFECTION.

DR.. J. T. Purcell connected with the
agricultural department of the I'm
iversity at Madison says that the ep-
iemic of hog cholera will be one of
the worst in the state unless farmers
take steps to prevent it. Pigeons are
common carriers of the disease, also
crows and dogs. Vaccination is tie
only effective remedy and the doctor
advises prompt measures be taken.
Vaccination is useless after the
malady lays hold of the animal and
delays are dangerous.
