Cured on corners or curves; eight at
interesting cross roads; eleven on rail
road crossings; and three at miscel-
laneous other places.
From the reports sent to the High
way Commission office, the causes for
the accidents are listed as follows: lbs
of the accidents were caused by reck-

accidents were due to miscellaneous
other causes, such as poor. lights or

Food For Thonghtg a.

LOUIS 2tf1s LltH4ue dIlily szFcoSI z tai ~
treasurer !, of the !. Wisconsin Press
Associates and publisher Its ultra
craft monthly, The HowIer, furnishes
in the AugustA5 9mber some 'lateres ting
information on the urban and city pop
ulation in the stats7of Wisconsin,. Rhe
rticlesis penned with the idea Of show
ing that Wisconsin is good state in
which to make the. country, weekly
success. I'VE know that this is trae,
but.theret are other matters upon which
the6fguresl throw an interesting and
illuminating light.
The 458sincorporated cities and qyi@7
lagos with a popul alton less than 10000
are so many centers Of social and bus
mess activities IN the state. ltThese
numerous littIetowns reachin the most
direct way the rural regulation. To
gether. with the,1, 115, 500 rural jewellers
they constitute the production element
in the state and express The true char-
actersof its population. S5
Comparing the numericahstrength Of
the .rura and the city industrial popula-
ton the figures are significant. The
factory employees in the state number
325, 900 persons. The factory poppla-
ton IS not only snail compared to:the
rural and cural town population. but
it consists of men and women who
have very little conception oflifesin the
state outside of theaarges cities where
they live and work. The foreign born
population inrthe state isfound ia the
larger cities while the rural ommun-
tiles and the smaller towns are the
homessof native born, and mos of the
Nordiclrace, Scandinavians. &c ermans,
English Scotch. and Irisha These people
are progressivey intellige good
workers, and following comparatively
high standard of living The telephone,
the rural mail service, the radio, the
automobile and the electric power plants
have made life, not only in the smaller
cities and villages, but also on the farms
as modern in equipment and interests
as the best homes in the larger cities
They have access to libraries and
good movie theatersg The large NETS
ropolitan dailies from Chicago, Milwau-
kee, Minneapolis and ST. Paul reach IN
to every community on the day of their
publication and the daily and weekly
newspapers in each community furnish
the homesswith news from thencounty
and the local communities nearest home.
These are facts which MAKE modern
life in the rural communities of Wis
consin highly desirable. Add to this
the new highway systemss the natural
beauty of the Wisconsin landsca ape, the
fertility of her soil and variety of her
crops, and we need not be surprised
that the population of the state has in
creased half million during the last
twenty years, and there rs room for
ever sosmany1 more, especially inf the,
northern part of the state.
Let us boost for rural Wisconsin
with her farm communities and all the
ideals, aspirations and achievements
rooted in life and it's envoirments here.

= New~Band Stand.

tNs Il -
Thasbanq concert given on honecom-
ling day in Central park, taught the peo-
pie of Edgarton and the many visitors
who regularly attend the weekly band
concerts that the city needs a new band
stand, andthat it Should be located, at
the plaee-ins Central park where the
Legion built it's pavilion platform for
the homecoming evening celebration.
If built there the audience could enjoy
the music, see the players and feel that
the concerts are dignifed by q proper
setting as an important part Of com
munity activity.
If the plans of the park cannot be al
tered so as to TT the band stand Into
the place on the farther side of the
creek, build it where the landscape ar
chitect has it located; ic should be
built. This would give the park, which
now is place merely to grow weeds, a
service that would go good ways to-
ward ajustifying the buying of the land
by the city.
James Menhall has promised to give
bthe qity]a properlysbuilt band stand: If
the park board want some features IN
cluded in the stand, such as comfort
stations, tool room and space for other
use, an appeal to the citizens of Edgerton
for funds to meet these requirements
would not be madesin vainsif the park
tire asury should happen. to be in the
same arlaernic conditiensjust now prev
alent in other city funds. The park
board and Mr.. Menhall could, without
a doubt get together on some reason
