many if not all are forced out of bust
ness because of "good roads" and the
auto owners chasing to big cities to do
business. Same as milk cOndensories
killing off cheese factories-and their
products shipped away and sold makes
milk to make butter very scarce, or
none, and thus makes butter 65 to 20
cents a pound. Such condensories pay
ing as high as $3.50 a 100 pounds for
milk, now down to $500 or less a 100
pounds, drives butter and cheese fac
tories out of existence.
Auto makers and sellers, cement
maker and sellers, crushed stone own
ers, and culvert makers, good road"
machinery men, and the $1,000 sea-
son patrolmen on such Highways are all
urgently in favor of such highways
and their building and upkeep, and the
levying of crushing burden of taxes a
year to pay all thereof. 1t has gotten
in this state so that state boards gov
ern and direct almost everything, down
into the country road district now, a
sort of public guardianship" over the
public, which has become calling if not
oppressive to a thinking, manly tax
payer. "a Farmer" and his ilk must
not only elect county board men safe
on these issues, but must elect state
and legislature officers and members
who will not pass, but who will repeal
such laws. 1t has gotten to be com
mon saying that any fellow is good
enough to go to the legislature to make
laws for the rest of the people of the
state, no matter what his qualifica-
tions, or that he has been a laborer all
his life.
The voters of Wisconsin will have to
vote on constitutional amendment at
the spring election this year, giving to
the state legislature the power to fix
the pay for the members of the next
legislature. The present constitution
wisely fixes it at $500 for term of
two years, and it's enough. Ninety days
is long enough for any legislature to
sit and pass all the necessary laws in
Wisconsin, instead of six or seven
months as it does now. Give the legis-
lature the right to fix salaries and you
will have a legislature in session all
the time and grinding out a plethora
of laws on every imaginable subject.
Vote down such amendments to the
constitution. Too many laws now.
Wendell Phillips said of the laws in
Ireland when Daniel O'Connell first
sought Office and their repeal, that they
were so oppressive that an Irish man
could not breathe without breaking the
laws" Taxpayers will soon have a
similar complaint unless we get relief
from high taxes. The remedy lies with
the awakened and vigilant voter. Go
to the polls and vote.

his communication "a Farmer" surely
does not lack in humor nor does he fail
in quite clearly saying what he wishes

very extraordinary question.
beg to remind him that this was
not the only county where the matter
of bond issue was up. That question
came up for consideration in great
many other counties in this state and
it came up in nearly every county in
the state of Illinois, as well as having
been brought before the people in

Our county board referred the queS-
ton to the people for their decision
The people are sovereign, in them rests
the right to say, and on such an impor-

In fact, the action of the county
board was in true conformity with the
American policy that the people should
rule We can see no other way than
the one which was followed and we do
not believe "a Farmer" would adyo-

A conveniently arranged and
equipped kitchen means lighter work
and shorter hours for the house
keeper and her helpers, say house
held specialists of the United States
Department Ct Agriculture, who give
the following hints in Farmers Bull
Item 607. The Farm Kitchen as a
Workshop.
Plenty Of light and good air are
essential to good results in the kitchen
and to the comfort of those working
there.
Running water and drain for carry
ing off waste save the kousekecper
many steps and many hours.
Pantry, Dining room, and store
rooms should be convenient to the
kitchen and so far as possible on the
same floor level.
Floor, walls, ceiling, and woodwork
should be made as easy to clean as
possible by oiling, painting, or cover
ing with suitable washable material.
Unfinished wood floors, molding, and
table tops are poor economy; they
are hard to clean and soon show
stairs and signs of wear.
Durable, convenient equipment is
most economical and should be so
placed that there is the least possible
strain on the workers muscles as she
performs her tasks. Many of the tired
backs are the result of improperly
placed kitchen equipment.

FUR MARKET BAD

At the time of going to press the
situation in the raw-fur market is
worse than it has been for many
years. There is a fur hold-over of
about $40, 100000 which must be
absorbed before it will pay you to
send in new shipments. The editor of
eur News" advises trappers to wait
they start trapping. He does not ex-
pect that 1921 prices will approach
the high levels CT last season, and
believes it will be a poor year all
around for the trapper.
Under such conditions it would be
folly to take furs before cold weather
improves the quality, and it may pay
to trap lightly all season. taking only
high priced furs. If left alone, the
fur bearers will increase and make
good trapping next year, when prices
are likely to be better 1t is possible
that high peak Of 1920 will not be
reached again for many seasons.
This is the situation at the time
this is written. It will pay you to
investigate this matter carefully be-
fore putting valuable time and money
into business which looks as though
it would be very improbable this
season.-Ex.

HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT FOR OUT.
SIDE MUSIC STUDY.

Upon the recommendation Of the
Louisiana Music Teachers Asssocia-
ton, the State Board of Education
is granting high school credit for work
done outside of school. This privilege
is enjoyed by children living in other
sections of this country. 1t carries
with it the assurance that the child's
musical education is in the hands of
a competent teacher; that the musi-
cally gifted child will have an oppor-
tunity to get high school education
and the special training that is es-
sentiel at that ime, and hat he has a
fair chance to do justice to both. All
students of our high schools, who are
studying instrumental music, should
arrange their high school work to
conform with that suggestion by the
State Board of Education.

There was a scare Wednesday
night, when the proprietor of the res
taurant near the Magoun Drug Store
attempted to start fire in the heat
er at his place. The fire had gotten
low in it, and to revive it he poured
some coal oilin the stove. 1t did not
ignite at first, but as soon as the oil
generated into gas, it exploded, a
flame coming out Of the top of the
chimney a considerable heigth, and
making a considerable report. Coal
oil and gasoline are perhaps fine to
start a fire with, but many times
when they are employed in such a
manner they start much larger fires
than was intended.
