CHILDRENs BOOK WEEK

The fourth annual Children's Book
Week, Nov. 1918, is a continued step
in the effort that is being made to
bring more books, the best books" to
children. A national observance of
this week will be made by schools,
women's clubs, motion picture houses
and libraries.
A number of the recent magazines
have articles ON children's reading
among which are Atlantic Monthly,
Nov. %, Good Housekeeping for Oc-
tober, st. Nicholas for November, La
dies Home Journal for December, The
Bookman for November, Woman Citi-
zen for Nov. 4th. The main thought
is that Of acquainting the public with
children's books so that only the best
will be given them for their own book
shelves-books that will stand the test
of time, not those that are written
only to sell.
The schools will cooperate with the
library in observing the week in La

SPENDING MILLIONS FOR ROADS

While the calamity howlers are en-

strides in seven-league boots, laying
fine s,lrest foundation for future de-
yelopment-good roads.
North Carolina has voted S'o'ooo'-

South Carolina is trying to gel
through an expenditure OF Soo'ooo'ooo

Florida tackled the job by countles
Hillsboro county voted S3,OOo,OOo. Du
val county voted $3,000,O0o and now
nnterprising business men are asking
$1,000 900 to build roads ana INK up
the county system.
Tennessee is voting on $lo,UUo,ooo

the last few months.
Georgia increased its funds $foo''
GOO Kentucky has contracts estf
mated at 100000, Louisiana S932,ooo
and Mississippi $S44,000.
Good roads spell prosperity In capi-
tal letters. The trivial amount OF eN-
fra taxation involved is not worthy
of consideration spread out as it al
WAYS is over so many years.
It would be well if the town ana
village officials in every community

This is potato week i'll Wlscon-
sin Potatoes are low in price-so
low that farmers will barely get back
the nrice Of their seed and the cost OF
their labor to produce the crop, at
forty cents a bushel. The business
men of Ladysmith are endeavorlng TO
find a quick market for the farmers
potatoes in this vicinity, and they
adopted the slogan, Buy pile OF po-
tatOes and help the potato grower.
Many Rusk county farmers have a
SURPLUS of potatoes, and unless they
can find a market for them at price
that will pay them to haul them to
town. the spuds will be allowed TO
freeze. therefore the business men or
Ladysmith are making an organized
effort to get grower and consumer to-
gether in the quickest possible time.
If the potatoes are allowed to go TO
waste, the price will be higher this
winter: the grower will get nothing
for his surplus and the consumer VIII
paw a higher price for what is lett !;
both will be losers. To obvlate this
situation, the men of the Ladysmlth
Advertising Club are canvassing the
city to take orders for potatoes to be
delivered direct to the consumer at
forty cents bushel in lots of not less
than five bushels. New is good
time to put in your winters supply
Of potatoes. The South bought a
bale" of cotton to help the cotton
grower. Let us buy pile" of po-
tatoes to help our own potato grow
ers. Orders for potatoes may be left
at the News-Budget office. Act at
once for your own good, as well as
the welfare of your neighbor, the po-
tato grower.

At last a real start is to be made
at reforestation in Wisconsin, accord
ing to press dispatches. But it re-
manned for outsiders to do it. A
New York corporation has bought two
thousand acres in Villas county which

direction in Rusk county. There are
some areas here that are better adapt
ed to reforestation than to agricul-
ture. Let us take lesson from
China's improyidence and the fore
sight of Germany and France in this
matter. The federal and state gov
ernments should in some way encour,

WHICH is THE BEST DAIRY
cow

Replying to Mr.. Golf will say first of
all, in my first letter there was no
thought of dishonesty either ,ex-
pressed or implied, and it was abso-
lutely unnecessary for him to try to
make it appear that there was.
The best team in ball game, the
best horse in a race, or the best COW
in "a show ring can lose and still ev-
erything be on the square. The
prize, premium or award l had ref
erence to was the sweepstakes for the
best dairy cow.
Which is the best dairy COW? is it
the COW that approaches the nearest
to a certain standard of build, size,
texture of skin, placement of udder
and teats, has the glossiest hair, best
polished horns and hOofs, and all 9TH
er little details that count in the show
ring?
| do not think anyone in Rusk
county keeps cows for their looks, and
| feel safe in saying that over 80 per
cent of the dairy men in the United
! States look to their cream or milk
checks for their income and not to
the premiums they win in the show
ring.
Is the best dairy cow the COW. that
gives the most milk, or the most but
! terfat? If the most milk is what
counts, then the cow that won is so
per cent the best COW, and l am
wrong But, as 50 per cent, or bet
ter of all milk is sold on the butter
fat basis, / think that butterfat
should be the standard of comparison
III that case, I claim that if COW
with a G.. T. A. record of 367 pounds
butterfat as mature COW, is a better
dairy cow than one with an A. r.
record of 391 pounds as a two-year-
old heifer. then all A. r., A. r. o.,
r. of NJ, and C. T. A. records don't
mean anything.
All agricultural colleges, and farm
and dairy papers have been preach
| ing for years, that using milk scales
and the Babcock tester is the only
way to find out which is the best
dairy cow
| dairy cows by looking at them, then
the thousands of dairymen that be-
long. to COW testing associations, do
official testing, or use milk scales and
the Babcock tester are considera BILE
| foolish in their head.
| / may be too much of a crank in
advocating production First" but
like practically all Rusk county farm
ers, it is what my cows put into the
milk pail that keeps home fires burn
ing, not the ribbons and premiums
they might win at the county fair.
In justice to Mr.. HalvOrson, the
owner of the COW that did not win,
will say that he has nothing what
ever to do with this controversy.
There are several more things
would like to say, but to avoid in
volving others, and starting an end
less discussion, will leave them I'M
said.
