The Old MilIer's Advice.

NY son, don't be a lazy mutt,
Give ear TO this advice;
The lord will freeze the water, but
You must cut the ice.
Now son, you'd better think bit
If you would like to eat;
The Lord gives rain and sunshine, but
You have to SOW the wheat.
And son, if up life's stream you'd go
Don't think that you can float:
The Lord will send the breezes, but
You've got to steer the boat.
So. son, don't be lazy NUT,
If YOU learn my miller's art;
The Lords a good proyider, but
You have to do your part.

ROAD DREAM
OF 20 YEARS NOW
A REALITY

An interested attendant at the coun-
ty board session was NJ. w. Metcalfe
Of Glen Haven. Mr.. Metcalfe might
honestly be called the father of the
good roads movement in West Grant.
A dream of twenty years-a hard road
from the river at Glen Haven to the
eastern confines of the township is
now realized and the town of Bloom
ington has built west to meet it thus
making fine road from Bloomington
to the river. With the new Hackett
Improvement Beetown is connected
up with the route to the river and it
is hoped that the future will bring a
hard road from Glen Haven to the
city of Platteville, via Lancaster, and
connecting with points east.

The matter of high taxes in con-
nection with high valuation and
greatly decreased production is one
of the vital moment. The situation
is really serious and should merit
the close attention of all tax raising
bodies including our county board
Boric acid is being sold in Wlscon-
sin in the form of a canning COM
pound for internal use, from which
injury results, j. @. Emery, dairy
but it cannot with impunity be sold
and food commissioner, said We'd
as an article to be used in the prepar-
alton of food, if | know it,, the COM
missioner says. In three prosecu-
tons in La Crosse, all defendants
were found guilty by Judge Brindlcy
and assessed the minimum fine OF $40
and COSTS Other cases will be start
ed as soon as evidence is obtained,
Mr. Emery declared.
We often wonder when we hear
people talking about how the young
farmers who bought land when prices
were high and are now being driven
into bankruptcy if after all it would
MT be a good thing Not good, OF
course, at first, but good in the long
run The Herald feels profoundly
sorry for any man VINO pays too much
for an article and then finds his re-
venue as seriously curtailed as the
new farmers has been since the de-
flation set in. There is last man
who must go in and make a place
pay. This poor fellow, loaded with
the burden speculation has placed up
or him, will often work to old age
paying two or three prices for his
land. We wonder if he wouldn't be
better off to throw up the sponge
and wouldn't the joke be on those
who stung him?

Tires Must Stand
 Terrific Sfroira

Do you understand the gaff an au- tomibile tire must endure-the ter rife forces operating to batter it to pieces? A light car weighing 1,750 pounds and travelling 25 miles an hour covers, 2,200 feet per minute and it moves with a force of nearly 4 0oO.- : 900 foot pounds. Imagine, then. the force of the impact on the tire when you hit rock or other obstruction in the roadway
 A heavy car weighing $500 pounds and going at 40 miles per hour, trav- els 3,o20 feet per minute. This gives it moving force in excess of eighteen
 and a half million pounds. Miller tire testing experts say the force of road shocks runs into the millions Load the car with passengers or in- crease the speed and you increase these forces millions more.
 To stand such strains, a standard make five inch cord tire has 20 tt l 26 cords per inch Though each corC l has a strength of 15 pounds. there ar, l eight plies or layers of these cords l This gives the five inch tire a strengtl in fabric carcass alone of 2,400 pound
 to the square inch, irrespective O
 the strength given by other parts. 1 It takes an immense blow to bruis 1 such tire. However. forces almos l impossible for the average mind t l conceive are operative. Bruises d I not necessarily prove tire defectiv.

500 to 1000 feet high. After cross ing Devils Canyon. the road proceeds up Irons Canyon, branch of Devils Canyon. leading to a flat at an ele- vation of about 5000 feet. Situated on this flat is Irons ranch. one of the most beautiful spots to be found in Arizona. Here is a large orchard containing apple trees. plum trees and all manner of fruits. This ranch boasts of the only cork tree in the country. which has attracted the at tention of naturalists from even far away Boston.
 The natural growth of this locality consists largely of oak trees Of con siderable size, making a delightful site for a summer camp. Within two or three years this place will un- doubtedly be developed into a sum mer camp for the people of Globe

RED FIRST T0 ENTER PUEBLO
 IF TER FLOODS

Rec Speed Wagons were the first vehicles of any description to enter Pueblo after the recent flood. These Speed Wagons, loaded with food tents and bedding for the stricken city were forced to travel over roads considered impossible, but they suc- cessfully ploughed through the mud with their full supplies.
 Adjutant General Hamrock of the U. s. army. who took charge of the relief work. selected the Rec Speed Wagon in preference to all other mo- tor vehicles O. any description for this work. His experience with the Speed Wagons in France led him to make this selection.
 In addition to the first Reos which entered Pueblo under their own power, General Hamrock requisi- toned all that he could obtain in Colorado Springs, sending them b5 train to a point as close to the city as the train would take them. Twen- seven were furnished by o. G Sellers, Rec dealer at Colorado l Springs.
 These Speed Wagons were imme- 1 diately set to work at assisting in the clearing of debric caused by the flood With relief drivers alternating they I were kept busy 24 hours day

The fac tory is also one Of great size. occu- 2ying 47-acre site. The new plant is regarded as one Of the finest is. tie automobile business. and tribute to the Cadillac motor Car company, and it's steadily growing success in the productioH of Cadillac cars durins the last 20 years
 Among the 1s cars of the price of Cadillac or above" according to H. H. Rice. president of the Cadillac Motor Car company, cmofe buyers have pre- ferrcd the Cadillac than all other cars put together. This preference, which has been increasing year by year. has in large measure made desirable the concentration of Cadillac manufae- tare. This is done in the new factory, (which the company has built as fine X 5 1t knew how, just as 1t has always built the best cars it knew how to build'
 Walking four stories above the street, one can start at the west end of one of the new Cadillac factory buildings and go approximately 1.00c feet in an east direction, before reaching the eastern walls of another Cadillac building with which it is joined. From north to south, there is similar route of 1,153 feet. Prac- ticalIy all main structures are foul stories high. Normally more thas 1000 employees work for the company
 Great pains have been taken to ge working quarters so well lighted tha they are almost shadowless. ForceS ventilation gives a worker the sam freshness of air which he would enjo. if working g-out- of doors. Ample spac has been allowed for every operation A real working home has been es
 tablished, which is conducive t maintaining and even improving tn

Queen Creek canyon is character ized by formations peculiar to the dacite through which it passes. Ddcife Is a volcanic overflow which in cool ing formed itself into columns or chimneys hundreds of feet in height Erosion from Queen Creek formed Queen Creek canyon with almost yer tical walls consisting of these chim- neys. The effect is that of huge cas- ties or battlements extending for miles and of wonderful proportions. The view looking back after one has reached the head of the canyon is never to be forgotten. One feature of this part of the trip is a tunnel about 250 feet long. This tunnel can be seen for a considerable distance and one wonders on first seeing it | how the road can possibly reach it. l Likewise looking back from the tun mel one wonders how it is possible | to get back on the road in the bot

Paige may now legiti- mately claim a truly sensational "clean sweep of the record board.

 BUT WILL HOLD
 UP OVER 100

Here is a test for cot and bed man ufacturers to shoot at.
 The Western Atuo Supply company last week received a large shipment of the Campers Auto Bed, which is made to accommodate two persons and is one of the most compact. strongest and easiest to set up on the market today.
 The guarantee given by the com pany manufacturing this bed stated that it could stand 800 pounds weight.
 Now, this bed weighs but 3I pounds which seems quite a guarantee for such a light bed.
 Two women shoppers dropped Tn yesterday at the Western Auto Sup r,1v agency. and being women, were a bit slxeptical about this guarantee, The camping manager wanted to demonstrate that the guarantee meant what it said, and looked around for some heavy object. He finally hit upon the idea of putting fT,e front end of a Ford car on tor of the bed.
 \ equipped with special body ant { ,,,arv different accessories on top Q 10 he'd. but it proved to the satis fFartion of these customers what m he'd could stand.
 r. was estimated that the Ford Witt a,I its accessories placed weigh ,,ron the bed of over 1000 pounds prr fbis test several hundred pound
