THE SIN OF NEGLECT
BY A. E. friedrich


Negligence is crime" Shakes
peare.
Neglect is as great a crime as the
commission of a positive act of cruel
ty. This is true whether it applies
to the care of human beings or of an
imals.
Attention should be called hereto
especially during the winter months
when neglectcausesg greatest suffering
Everywhere there are people who

find this in the cities where folks Of

the country where stock and the other
animals of the farm are often serious

and other animals exposed to the cold,
Many barns and hog houses are not
built warmly enough, and many chick

may be both warmth and light.
There are people who keep their
cattle in open sheds both day and
night. These may constitute a little
shelter from the wind, if it comes
from the right direction, but it is
practically the same as leaving ami
mails out of doors. Some leave their
animals out with probably no protec-
ton but a barren woods. The fact
that some animals live through such
exposure is no indication that they
do not suffer terribly from the cold.
Even though they be we'll fed, ami
mails need warm barn in winter,
plenty of bedding and water slightly
warmed.
The State Humane officer desires
that all who know of cases of neglect
notify him or their respective county
humane officers, so that suffering NAV
be relieved. The day of neglect of our
animals must specially end; it is con-
trary to the spirit of our advancing
civilization

Potato Insnection Paws

Madison. Dec 5.-Defendants hav-
ing pleaded guilty in six cases brought
to test the new state marketing law,
the Department of Markets started
further prosecutions today in Burnett,
Oneida and Columbia counties for fail
ure of potato shippers to have their
spuds inspected before Offering them
for sale.
The case inBurnett county is against
Minnesota corporation shipping po-
tatoes to the Twin Cities and involves
the disputed legal question as to
whether the Department of Markets
has power TO apply the state grades
to products which are destined for
interstate commerce.
A convention of potato dealers at
the recent markets exposition in Mil
waukee, by vote of thirty-five to
two, approved the states grading and
inspection service. A Minneapolis
buyer stated that the Wisconsin po-
tato industry was profiting over the
spud business of neighboring states to
the extent Of ten cents on every hun
dred pounds. He attributed the in
creased reputation of Badger tuhers
to the standards and official inspec-
ton of the Wisconsin Department of
Markets.
Daily bulletins show that Wiscon-
sin potatoes are receiving higher
prices on terminal markets than the
average middle-western price. This is
said to be due in part to the very
small number Of reflections OF Wis
eonsin potatoes, the state certificate
of grade acting as evidence to pro-
tect both the Wisconsin shipper and
the consignee.

vice is almost universally recognized

The "Know.it. Ais"

We met a man the other day who
knows everything. For instance, he
knows how to run this newspaper
much better than its drilled editor.
he knows how to run the town very
much better than anybody else and
probably he knows how to run every
single person in the community. We
haven't the slightest doubt that he
feels he can president this country
much much better than Harding him
self. We think the gentleman is vast
ing his time at present. He should be
writing an encyclopedias. Or, at the
very. least, he should write the story
of his own life. How we do love peo-
pie who know it all!

BIG ROAD PROGRAMS FOR 1922

Reports from throughout the state
Indicate that at the annual sessions
OF the county boards, more funds were
voted and larger programs laid out
for 1922 than were provided for 1921.
Dodge county has voted to spend
81 800 900 on road construction in 1922
of which 81 10000 will be spent for
hard-surfaced roads; Brown county
has voted $1,800,000; Fond du Lac.
$1,lOO,O00; Jefferson $685. 900: Wau-
kesha, approximately 81 800 900; and
so on. There are indications that next
years mileage of concrete construc-
ton viii even surpass this years re-
cord of $50 miles.
TO those familiar with the road
movement and its processes of devel-
opment this action on the part of the
various county boards is not surpris-
ing. Good roads beget good roads.
The construction of a stretch of high
class highway in one section of a
county leads to a demand for similar
Improvement in other sections. The
people of Wisconsin are convinced
that good roads are a good investment
and are willing to pay to get them.
