CONE To THE
Institutes

Wood County viii have its share
IF the ia Farmers Institutes that
viii be held in Wisconsin this Win
ta,. Arrangements have been made
for eight two-day Institutes to be
held at as many different points in
the county. Following is the schedule
January 12-14-Nasonville.
January 1S-19-Richfeld
January 20-21-Pittsville.
January 25-26-Rudolph
January 27-28-Auburndale, Bah
cock
February 2-23-Arpin.
February 24-25-Vesper.
A three-day Institute was held at
Wisconsin Rapids the latter part Of
November. Other meetings may also
BE- arranged at other points in the
county to meet the wishes of those
not in reach OF the regular Institute
points.
Much good has come to Wisconsin
thru the Farmers Institutes which
have been one of the greatest factors
IN giving Wisconsin its place as the
leading dairy state of the U. S. The
Institutes have always been the lead
ers in the development of such good
things as pure-bred cattle, better
crops, more legumes, more silos, bet
ter seed grains, labor saving on the
farm for both the men and the women
and many other good things that have
been developed and have helped to
build greater Wisconsin.
AS the Institutes have done-so
hey will continue to do-ever reaching
ing forward to make for better farm
ing and for better living conditions
on Wisconsins' farms. The spirit that
is backing up the Institutes in Wood
County this season in the several COM
munities is of the best-and that is
an interested community spirit.
At Nasonville the newly organized
Community Club is doing itself proud
in the preparations it is making for
the meeting which will be held there
this week. The Ladies Aid is show
ing it's interest and will be there to
serve a 100 per cent, dinner each day.
Plans for the evening program prom
ise to make the event the big one of
the season.
Similar plans are also underway in
the town of Richfeld Chairman C.
L. Butler of the local committee says,
"They can't beat Richfeld" Pitts
vile will hold a grain show along
with number of other good things
that are planned for their Institute
Of January 21 and % An so they go
they're all going to be there with
the crowds.
The regular Institute speakers will
be in at each Of the meetings and
problems that are common to each
community will be taken up. Much
good comes to those in attendance
thru the message of these men, and
more good comes to those who enter
into the general discussion. The In
stitutes usually bear more direct re-
suits in the smaller communities for
the reason that the speakers are able
to meet those in attendance in more
"get together" manner than is com
mon at meetings held in the larger
cities.
The problems of marketing the
farmers produce will receive more at
tention this year than ever before.
The development of more COW testing
associations in Wood County will also
be pushed. Wood County soils need
lime. We aim to remedy this some
what by putting in at least fifty car
loads of lime this winter Local as
sociations among the breeders of pure
bred livestock will be developed so
that more meetings can be held

interest to be dealt with.
The Boys and Girls will receive a
good bit of attention also. 1t is hoped

to so organize each community that
the social affairs will help to make
that community a better one to live
IN. Wen hope for the cooperation
and attendance Of everyone in the

only to the public ponitents who ap-
peared bare-footed before tho church
door on the first day of Lent After
penanco had been imposed ON them,
tho pcnitents were admitted TO tho
church and brought before the bishop
who put ashes upon their heads, with
the words. Remember, man, that
thou art dust and unto dust thou
shalt return" II gradually became
the custom for friends and relatives
to join the penitents in this ccrc-
mony, and in time, the numbers of
tho crowd became so large that tho
administration of ashes was extended
to the entire congregation, ana tho
rite assumed its present form.
Ash Wednesday, however, was not
always included with tho Lcntcn sea

Convicts as Cement Workers

Very careful consideration should be given to the
proposed plan of establishing cement fac
tories to be operated by convict labor the product to
be used for building state roads.
The argument in favor of the proposition appears
to be strong 1t is said upon good authority that
the amount of cement required for state roads
for the next two would cost at present prices
than million and half dollars, while this cement
could be produced by convict labor for about onesxth
much money including the cost of establishing the
plant. Thus it is asserted, than million dollars
would be saved to the taxpayers, would be available
to be used in other branches of road work.
Further it is said that the proposed cement factory
would afford occupation for idle to their
detrimen Not all the convics able to work the
roads, and many of those who for one reason or an
other cannot be kept at the road camps might be en-
ployed in the cement factory. Thus such factory
would be not only financial benefit to the Taxpayers
but also an instrument of benefit to TIE prisoners.
These arguments appear to be good. There is GER
tainly no reason why the state should pay for road
cement six times much that cement can be
produced for by labor Such plans however do
not always work out in practice Just as they are
scheduled in theory. Before investing a quarter of a
million dollars IN cement plant, the assemblymen
should satisfy themselves that is going to do what
is claimed for it, They should also be sure that the
vcts can do the work that is expected of them that
there Will be enough convicts to do the work. and that
the conditions will be such to permit of continuous
operation thru considerable period of time
