Boosters Not to Blame

The members Of the boosters
club and city authorities desire us
to state that the fourth Of July eel.
ebration was unauthorized by them
and was gotten up entirely by pri-
vate parties, and that they are not
responsible for any failure to pre-
sent some of the attractions adver-
tised. The ball game and other
amusements that were provided
were first class, but the private
committee who took UP the matter
OF celebration were at, fault in fail
ing to present some Of the features
advertised, and this fact has very
properly drawn criticism from dis
appointed people from away, and
also from our own citizens who do
not like to have Mi!bank get a rep
utation for advertising features
when It does not put on.

Too Much Moisture.

The continued heavy falls Of rain
during the past week have been
serious thing for the growing crop.
In many localities where the land
is fiat and low the damage has
been incalculable, and large patch
es Of the growing grain have been
literally drowned out, while it has
been impossible to give the corn
fields the cultivation that is necea as-
ary to insure crop. Never be-
fore in the county has the damage
from rains and flooded fields been
SO great as the present year. In
localities where the rainfall has
not been SO great. or where the lay
Of the lanl has been favorable to
its rapid drainage, the growing
crop has fine appearance. and IL
the weather should continue cool
and favorable to a healthy develop
ment of the grain there are good
prospects of fine crop on the
lands not drowned out. Extreme
" hot weather coming on after the
great growth of straw in the small
grain would prove fatal to even
these fine looking fields.

ROADS HARD ON AUTO TIRES
Yearly Cost to Owners Of Cars ls
Something Like $1,000, 900, 900
in Wear

A great deal has been said and writ
ten, in discussing the roads and road
building in the United States. about
the wear and tear Of automobiles on
the roads. but brand-new element
seems to have been brought in by the
director OF roads Of the American
Automobile association. who suggests
consideration OF the wear and tear OF
the roads on automobiles. AutOmO-
bile traffic now wears out something
like 4OOOO.OOO tires a year, costing au-
tOmobile owners something like ST.
NOOOO,OOO; and on the roads as they
now are. it can be argued, from data
already acqtmulated, that the tractive
resistance. otherwise wear and tear.
varies from 20 pounds or less on one
kind Of road to 300 pounds or more
on another. The consumption Of gaso-
line alsOjs said to vary with the char
acter Of the road on which an auto
mobile is travelling. The idea is sur
prising, but 1t seems not imlksssible
that considerable part Of the cost Of
building national system Of roads
that would produce the least possible
wear and tear on automobiles would
be balanced by the decreased expense
for tires.

johnson at Bio Stone.

Royal c. Johnson was one Of the
leading attractions at the Big
Stone chautau4ua, and ieciured
there last Saturday evening to a
large auiience, having come from
Appleton by aeropane in the after
noon. Without entering into par
t;san politics in any form, repres-
enta.ive Johnson called attention to
a number OF things in political and
social life that should be corrected
His demand that the army reguIa-
tions should be made to more rear
ly conform to our democratic civil
life was Of a forcible character and
worthy OF thought. and some of
the statements he made in regard
to army conditions in France dur
ing the war certainly indicate that
there is great room for reform.

PLAN FOR CUTTING ASPHALT
Method Shown in Illustrations Is Time
and Labor Saver-Wire Cuts
Through Material.

Asphalt Is usually shipped In tin
barrels. The metal is stripped OFF and
the asphalt rolled up to the stopping
board; the Wire shown. attached to
the winding drum, is passed over and
around the asphalt to a piece Of pipe
under and ahead Of the stop board.
When the drum is turned it tightens
up on the wire and causes it to cut
through the asphalt. Kerosene is
poured on the wire to make it pass
through the asphalt easily.
The barrel shape is first cut in half,
then each half is cut into quarters
