ROAD WORK IN WISCONSIN

In his quarterly report, Chief En-
gineer Hirst of the Highway Com
mission, says that the grand total OF
all road construction in Wisconsin this
year viii be 3,764.1 miles, Of which
$40 miles is concrete; 1912 miles grav-
ell; 84 miles top soil; 1909 miles earth
gang maintenance 1904 miles; mis-
cellaneous ~ miles.
A careful examination, says Mr..
Hirst, of the resources of the Com
mission has been made and it ap-
pears that there Is no reason for a
change in its activities this calendar
year; or until about July /, 1922. In
case there should be no further pro-
vision by the Federal Government for
a continuation Of its aid in highway
construction, it win be necessary to
reduce our work in the preparation
OF surveys and plans after that date,
and to reduce cur overhead organi-
zation about January l., 1923.
The amount Of bridge work done
this year is greater in quantity and
superior in quality to that done in
any previous year. The cost Of bridge
work is about one-third below that Of
1920. A further reduction Of 20 cents
per barrel IN Portland cement is noted.
Plans and specifications for $40
bridges were prepared by the com
mission during the first nine months
Of this year. by the commission staff.
The estimated total Of these bridges Of
which III viii be built under Federal
Aid, 128 under State Aid and 301 IN
der County Aid, is $2,245,100 The
aggregate length Of these bridges viii
be 1873 feet, or close to three miles.

OLD VETERAN GONE TO REST

Andrew A. Fladhapmer was born in
Lyster, Norway, of parents, Brita and
Arne Fladhammer, February a, 1886,
and passed away at the home of his
niece. Mrs. John Bennett, of this city,
November IS, 1921, his illness cover
ing a period of nearly three months.
The subject of this sketch came to
ibis country with his young wife in
the spring Of 1860 and was one of the
FIRST in his community to enlist when
the Civil war broke out. He served
all through that terrible conflict and
came home without blemish. He
located on a farm on South West Prai-
RE where he lived several years. To
this union was given four children,
of whom only one is living, Herman,
of Spaulding, MINI. In 1875 he lost
his wife by death and he was later
married to Christina Bo!stad, W h o
preceded him in death one year ago,
To this union was given seven chill
dren, all living and ali but one daugh-
ter, living in California, was present
at the funeral.
The deceased possessed many good
qualities. He was an eccentric per-
son and in many ways his own worst
enemy. He talked much about his
mistakes during his illness and often
said his life was nothing but mistakes.
He admitted the most regrettable
thing of all was when he separated
from his family about thirty years ago.
Since that time he has spent most of
his time roaming about; made several
trips back to the old country and diff
ferent other places. Never at eace,
never contented, until he at last found
peace with God. That peace which
passeth all understanding. Which is,
after all, the greatest attainment that
can come to US in this life.

A Great Gathering

The delegates from the Methodist
Sunday school to the older boys and
girls conference held at Wausau last
week were enthusiastic in their praise
of the great gathering. ESQ young
people were in attendance. A pro-
gram representing the four fold life
was put on-physical, mental, social
and religious-and it was in every
way worth while. Thee were great
addresses, lively SAINTS, and delicious
eats. Mr.. Harris says that he never
attended anything that in his judg-
ment was more practical, enjoyable
ard inspirational. The seven young
people who went with him were Ches-
ter Paulsen, Jerrold Anderson, Sher-
men Sherry, Sidney Tuhus, Marjorie
Buchanan, Bonnie Pepper, and Mil
bred 0utcelt. They returned on Mon
day morning.

The old terror Of the home, the de-
stroyer that comes with hurricane
swiftness and brings dismay and
grief Is rearing its ugly head again
in the land. DIPHTHERIA. Diph-
liberia the dreadful.
The use of anti-toxins brought the
diphtheria death rate down during
the last IL years from the 60 and 20
percentages to as low as 8 and 10
per cent. And at that, most of those
who died were the victims of slow
diagnosis or total failure to apply
the saving anti-toxin. We won't
argue one way or another on the
vexed vaccination question-all we
know is that when so and 20 in a
hundred died before anti-diphtheria
toxin was discovered, the rate has
fallen as low as 8.
In 1919, the diphtheria death rate
in the United States was ia. In
1910 it was Is. The lack of strict
quarantine, carelessness, failure to
take action when cases were young
all these are the cause of the increase
Unless people wake up and act
promptly; unless the health officers
everywhere are watchful and act de-
cisively, it is very probable that we
will have a widespread outbreak of
this fearful disease in 1921.
