WISCONSIN ROADS

Wisconsin roads were never better
than in 1920. The outlook for the
coming year was never brighter than
that before US for 1921.
The figures at hand show that dur
ing the year 1920 total of 623 miles
of earth road were improved by grad
ing and draining; ga miles of gravel
roads, macadem, nine tailings and
similar types; 126 miles of sand-clay
surfacing; and 1873 miles of concrete
surfacing. This is total of 1,461
miles of Wisconsin highways improv-
ed in the form of construction in the
past year-a remarkable record con-
sidering the conditions.
In the matter of maintenance, T.
234 miles of the State Trunk High
way system were under patrol main
tenance this year in charge Of 854 pa
troImen. There was available for
this purpose from automobile license
fees. S1.75O,O00. The heavy-traffic
counties added to that $250,00O, max
ing a total of $2,O0O,OO0. Several
thousand miles of county trunk high
ways were also handled under patrol
maintenance. There was available
for this 100000 from the automobile
license fund, which in many instances
was increased by the counties from
local funds.
There were many hampering con-
ditions in 1920. Labor and materials
were high, making prices of construc-
ton in many instances prohibltlve.

windmill Generates Electricity.

The windmill has not been general
~ found available for the generation
Of electricity because of the irregular
fly Of the air currents, but this has
been overcome by Swedish inventor.
Instead Of being directly connected
to the dynamo in the usual manner.
the mill-wheel shaft Is geared to a
holsting device, which serves to ele.
vate two-ton weight to the top of a
53-foot steel and wood tower. When
the weight reaches the maximum
height, 1t Is released, and, as 1t falls,
actuates the dynamo, which is mount.

tower with the mill wheel. A storage
battery and switchboard are housed in
the lower portion of the tower.

Cars for the transportation of mater
ial were extremely difficult to secure,
and the amount of cement was limit
ed. The condition of the bond mar
ket was such that it was practically
impossible to market bonds for road
improvement. This had bad market
effect, especially on the mileage of
concrete surfacing constructed. TAX
ing it all in all, however, and looking
at the whole state, Wisconsin never
made better progress in single year
nor Were her roads found in better
condition.
For the year 1921 the outlook is
highly optomistic. The labor and
transportation condition has improv-
ed. Prices are sliding and never in
the history Of the state have the, var
ious counties provided for such big
programs of road improvement. The
counties which have bonded are anx-
ious to push their work.
There will be total of approx
mately $24,000,000 available for high
way construction and maintenance in
1921 from all sources-federal, state,
counties and other local units, and
motor vehicle licenses. Of this $19,-
100000 is for construction and $4,-
100000 for maintenance. The con-
struction fund is made up of $780,
900 from bond issues and $8,000,000
under the State Trunk Highway act,
which includes the federal aid. The
balance is made up of state, county
and local funds.
The carrying out of this program
depends in a measure on conditions
which, at the present, look bright. The
bond issue issue program depends
largely on the condition of the bond
market. Such counties as Waukesha,
Fond du Lac, Racine, Dodge and
Brown have in view bond issue high
way construction running in each in
stance from $75O,OO0 to $1,000,000.
To revert to the highway situation
in the state during the past year. it
may be said that Wisconsin has TAX
en- the leadership in the Middle West.
Emulation is the best commentator.
Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan
and other states have adopted our
road marking system. A large num-
Der of delegations, especially from
Illinois, have visited Wisconsin dur
ing the year to learn show we do
things"
The press of other states has words
of praise for the Wisconsin idea in
road building and maintenance. Two
of the leading farm papers in the mid
die West recently sent staff CORE
spondents to look over the Wisconsin
roadside Orange Judd Farmer and
the Prairie Farmer. They wrote up
glowing stories regarding the road
work in Wisconsin and urged their
own state, Illinois, to adopt the Wis
consin system. A Chicago Tribune
correspondent, after touring the Mid
die West states, gave the palm to
Wisconsin and said that this state
was doing what other states were
theorizing about. The Chicago Auto
mobile Journal, looking at things
from the tourists point of view, said
that Wisconsin had become the tour
ist ground of the Middle West be-
cause of the good roads within her
borders.
All in all, in the retrospect and in
the prospect, Wisconsin's good roads
enthusiasts can feel happy at the end
of the year.

Tanlac Elements Come From
Many Lands Far Away
From Here.

The ingredients from which
the celebrated medicine Tanlac is
made, come from remote sections
of the earth, and are transported
thousands of miles over land and
sea to the great Tanlac Labora-
tories at Dayton, Ohio, and Wal
kerville, Canada.
The Alps, Apprentices, Pyrenees,
Russian-Asia, Brazil, West Indies,
Rocky Mountains, Asia Minor,
Persia, India, Mexico, Columbia
and Peru are among the far away
points from which the principal
properties of this remarkable
preparation are obtained
What is said to be the largest
pharmaceutical laboratory in the
United States has been complet-
ed at Dayton, Ohio, for the manu-
facture of Tanlac which, accord
ing to recent reports, is now hav-
ing the largest sale of any medi-
cine of it's kind in the world;
over 100000 bottles having
been sold in six years.
The new plant occupies 10000
square feet of floor space and has
a daily capacity of $4,000 bottles.
Uniform quality is guaranteed
by a series of careful inspections
by expert chemists from the
time the roots, herbs, bark and
flowers are received in their
rough state from all parts of the
globe until their medicinal prop
critics have been extracted by the
most approved processes. The
finished medicine is then bottled,
labeled and shipped out to tens
of thousands of druggists
throughout the United States and
Canada to supply a demand never
before equalled by this, or any
other medicine.
Tanlac is sold in Bradford by
o F Sisco & Son, III Wells River
by w H Buck, in Williamstown
by Curtis & Randall and in Fair
lee by B w Abbott.
