In the day of rapid and extensive
transportation and of wide spread
news service there is no reason for
the man from the city to feel that
he has any advantage over the man
from the small town In fact, the
entire country is fast becoming one
vast city and as one travels from
one end of it to the other, it is sur
prising to note how slight is the
Change in customs, dress and habits
over the stretch of several thousand
miles. The people from Gopher
Prairie. Minnesota, Big Fork, Mon
tana, or Bellville, Ohio, would all
feel and look in New York City just
about as the rest of the New York
ers feel and look
That species of corn fed creature
which has afforded city people so
much amusement in the past and
which they have dubbed 1.-THE hick,
is soon going to be extinct. City
people do not know this and they
still enjoy "A good laugh occasionally
but be who laughs last laughs best"
and some day they are going to find
that the so called hicks have beat
en- them at their own game.
A professor of Columbia UNIVERSE
ty recently said that it was the out
siders who are making successes in
New York, though as yet New York
ers are serenely unconscious OF this
fact.
1t is the small towns and farming
communities that make this country
what it is regardless of how indis-
pensable city people may think them
selves.

Money For Highway Construction And
Maintenance.

There is 8 rather general miSuudpr-
standing as TO the source from which
the state secures the large sums re-
CURED for highway construction and
maintenance
IN general way il may be said that
the money used for construction comes
from three sources in approximately
equal amounts one third from the
federal government, onr-th.rd from
the state and one-thrd from the
county.
inthe tinal apportionment Of federal
aid granted prior to the present sps
sion Of congress, Wisconsin has r.
ceived $1,000, ol15l The state in
order TO secure this has had to pro
vide the same sum This joint feder-
al and state fund is apportioned to
the counties on this basis. One-third
IN proportion to area, one-third in
proportion to assessed valuation, and
one-third M proportion to highway

cd TO provide an amount al least equal

Half a Million In Dog Licenses.

Over half million dollars has
been collected this year in dog
licenses for some $4,000 dogs in
the state. Under the new law
passed by the last session OF the
legislature the dog tax is s. for
male dogs and s. for females.
That practically all of the
money collected will go back to the
counties to be returned to the WILL
ages, towns, and cities, in proper
ton to payment, was the statement
OF c. P Norgord, commissioner of
agriculture.
Close 10 5000, COO has been
collected this year, said Mr.. Nor
CORD Monday. "Of this amount
the county treasurers send US *
per cent and the rest they keep in
the county treasury to meet claims
to live stock killed or manned by
mad dogs. When the end of the
fiscal year comes we return to the

turned over to us minus what il
has cost to administer the law.
This year, for instance, the state
received SO. 900 while it only cost
Us s., 900, 50 that S73 900 will be
returned to the counties.
At the end of the fiscal year
when we return this surplus the
counties add that to the amount
that they have left on hand Of
their S. per cert after paying dam
ages. This is then returned to
the municipal units. In cases where
police pension funds are establish

tive units Of government determine

Great material wealth has come from

been searched and burrowed for gold

in its most concentrated form. II Is

be haryests. Everywhere the fullness
Of the earth awaits the sons Of men,
but they must dig for it. And though
the toll be great, the rewards are
great But mans profitable digging is
not confined to the work Of his hands,
says Three Partners. Equally. liberal
rewards come from digging for ideas.
This also Is hard workout 1t pays.
The production Of worthwhile ideas
seems 10 be confined to the few, while

Inconsistency when you think Of it,
Every head has a brain and his mind
was given to man to be used, to be a
means for his betterment. And even
the poorest heads have some ideas
worth developing, if they are dug for.
The trouble is most folks won't dig.

Something For Nothing.

As far as We can see just now, there
is only one thing in This world that
is given away and that s advice.
Probably it Is given away because the
only person who thinks it valuable is
the one who deals il out. Now there
is tue advice yon get from a lawyer
bat that comes under an entirely
different heading. 1t is supposed to
be valuable Sometimes It is but
whether valuable or Otherw So. il is
not given away. as you all know.
However, We are not dealing with
that kind OF advice. We are dealing
with the kind yon get when you have
a bad cold or flat tire or the kind
the President of the United states
gets every day from every down-and
outer in the country.
The best thing to do with most
of the advice of this kind is to listen
to it and then do as you intended i'm
the tirst place for most of the people
who are advising you don't know
half as much about the matter in
question as you do. You will notice.
II you observe carefully, that the
men who are the most eager to give
advice TO the Wall Street Huanciers
are the ones who are dependent on
their wives wash boards and ironing
boards for their daily bread.
