DTOaQC0StlnS OF one OF tnOSe yarns
without which a base ball meeting
would be simply an interval Of time.
Huggins wants Collins and Eddie wants
to go to the Yankees. but the latter is
determined not to give up any OF his
another spot. Furthermore. Collins.
be Is remembered. is no spring chick
en-. He hasn't thousand years more
to play before he begins going back.
Tone Down ON Demands.
When the little group Of major
league leaders got together some
time ago and had a conference and
decided that they would get a new
time limit for the sale Of players into
the regulations which govern base
ball they were as radical as they
could be in their demands. hoping
that the more radical they were then.
the more chance they would have to
they want.
They seem to have been wise in
their program. for at the joint meet
Ing 1t worked out just as they had
planned. The radicals named a date
in May for the time limit for the sale
or trade Of players among major
league clubs. Some even wanted the
date of the opening of the season.
Perhaps they never expected 1t to
go through. However. June Is isn't
a bad date. The proponents of the
regulation gained forty-six days in
the matter. which Is quite a step
toward Quelling the rebellion on the
part of the public in the matter OF
the so-called buying OF pennants in
the middle OF the season.

The new church takes the place of
the old one which burned completely
in March, 1920. The new church loca

The structure is coy with a furnace
to heat it. The auditorium seats about
one-hundred. The basement includes
lecture room and kitchen All
rooms are well lighted and easily
ventilated.
The pastor, officers of the church
and congregation are to be compli-

creasing, pale into significance with
the increased demand for better roads
caused by the increased number Of
motor vehicles. There has been an in
crease in the number Of students at
the university, at the normal schools,
in the number of inmates in our chart
table and penal institutions, but this
increase is meager as compared to
that in the number of automobiles.
The figures, as said, are of especial
interest to the farming communities.
Farmers are not inclined to indulge
to large extent in the purchase of
luxuries. Their ownership OF automo-
biles shows that the motor vehicle
has become a necessity for them. An
automobile operated on a poor road
may become liability-at least the
operating cost is very heavy. Every
cent of taxes put into good roads is
an investment in reducing the opera
ting cost of motor vehicles When
considering road taxes both sides of
the question should be looked at
what you give and what you get and
we know of no tax in which you get
more for what you give than the tax

Wisconsin Not One-Crop
State; Farmers Choose
DIVERSIFIED FARMING MAKES
FOR BETTER FINANCIAL
RETURNS ON LAND

If ever the farmers of Wisconsin
have had hard problem, they will
have another in the spring of 1922.
What shall they go in for? What crop
will pay best? What will be the price
trend before the close of this. year?
Now when farm profits are low, when
prices of most things are a bit dis.
couraging, study, deep, thorough
study is, essential for a wise decision
as to what to produce.
Fortunately, Wisconsin has a re,
markable and choice list of things
which may be used as the doors of
opportunity. There is an astonishing
list of products which can be, raised
in a single county of Wisconsin, The
wise farmer will not put all his eggs
in one basket Diversification of
crops is best Little of this and a
little Of that also spreads out the
labor on the farm. Work does not
all come in bunch when there are
many crops.
Then, too, trying to dope out fu-
ture prices is at best a guessing game.
By having. many things to sell, the
farmer will get the benefit of at
least a number of the better priced
commodities which will offset those
which are salable only at lower prices.
One shrewd farmer of Wisconsin
says that he always inquiries around
to see what all his neighbors are GO
ing in. for next year When he finds
that the bulk Of them are going to
plant potatoes, or sugar beets, he
chooses something else, where, he
says, there is less likelihood of excess
production.
Then, too, emphasis should be
placed on quality goods this year. A
little extra attention, the best of seed
and the best of soil make quality
crops. These can be determined in
advance by the farmer with vision.
The best stuff in the neighbor-
hood, should be the aim of farmers in
every community. Milwaukee Journal

REMARKABLE MOTOR
INCREASE in STATE
Motorized Traffic Means That
Highways Must Receive
A Great Deal of Atten-
ton To Keep Up

There are today in Wisconsin 345,-
900 motor vehicles as against 5000
ten years ago, an increase of $500 per
cent. There are 345, 900 vehicles wear
ing out the roads today that were not
on the highways ten years ago. The
mileage run by these vehicles is a
hundred-foId more than the mileage
of the horse-drawn vehicles in 1911,
and their destructiveness and wear
age of the road is probably 100 per
cent more than the old type of vehicle.
Taking these two elements into con-
sideration, the logical inference would
be that the provision for meeting this
new and more destructive traffic
should have kept pace in at least a
measurable degree with the increased
demands of the traffic the provisions
for construction and maintenance.
We say in measurable degree, be-
cause we do not believe it would be
practically possible to incur the i'm
mediate large expenditure necessary
to enable highway improvement to
keep pace in full degree with the
demands of motor traffic. AS matter
of fact, while our highway expendi-
lures have increased greatly they are
not within hailing distance of the
increase in the number of motor vehi-
cles, which increase the need for high
way improvement
There is further fact, and that is
that this demand is increasing from
year to year. Last year was a year Of
financial and business depression
which hit the farmer acutely Yet the
number of motor vehicles increased
16 per cent, or at a rate only slightly
less than that of the two previous
years. The per capita ownership of
motor vehicles as shown by these
figures is one motor vehicle for every
1865 people in Wisconsin. In many
counties it is one vehicle for less than
six people. The road problem in this
respect is not in the same category
as many other public functions per-
formed by the state and the county.
Their process of growth, while rapid,
and their demands for improvement
and further expenditures, while in
