We do feel that some roads in KenOsha coun-
ty could be greatly benefited with these Won
derful lights. II it were possible, such lights
should be installed at every busy intersection
and every grade crossing Of the railways. Pos
sibly the cost of this could be saddled on the
railway companies. The Sheridan Road north
and south of Kenosha is one of the most tray
eled thoroughfares in the state of Wisconsin,
If not in the whole country, and undoubtedly
many people could be saved from injury and
possibly death by having this road properly
lighted If such proper lighting of the road
could be provided with an expenditure of from
ten to fifteen thousand dollars year. it is pos
slble that this amount of money could be profit
ably taken from the maintenance fund given
the county by the state. This fund is con-
stantly increasing, and with the extension of
the permanent road systems the needs for
maintenance are not as great as they have
BEEN The money used for lighting up this
road would be taken entirely from the pockets
of the men and women who own and drive auto
mobiles, and they would be the people most
directly benefited. We believe that the county
board Of Kenosha county should give to any
proposition for the lighting of these roads
consideration sufficient for an intelligent deci-
sion. Certainly, if the price is not exorbitant,
these roads are particularly well fitted to be
used as try-out for similar highways in the
rest of the country.
Lighted roads are safer to travel onl and the
safest highway conditions is the acme Of all
road building.

New Orleans, La. - Getting along
happily in the Spanish foreign legion
in Morocco was a matter of getting
used to Spanish cooking. according T.
z. B. Kassad of New Orleans. a vet
eran of the A. E. F., who enlisted in
the Spanish army here year ago. anC
saw fighting on the Moroccan front.
Kassad, who recently returned. was
awarded Epanish military cross for
brewery. He described the incident
for which it was awarded as San ac-
cident."
"At Tetuan," he said, "our regiment
charged up long hill to the posi-
ton of the MOOfs at the top. l was
running low and shooting and was
just about to the top when the Moors
broke from cover and I saw that ]
was all alone.
"'Did you see that crazy Amer

me. Honestly, 1 didn't know was

LIGHTING RURAL ROADS.

Lighting up the rural roads must appeal to
most people as a very attractive proposition.
Any big movement which viii make roads safer
for travel is worth the consideration of Off
Gals. The work of building roads has gone
forward rapidly in all parts Of the country, and
with the building of good roads there has come
the problem of making these roads safe. A
good road is safer than poor road, and a we'll
lighted road is infinitely safer to traffic than
one shrouded in darkness. The road bed may
be excellent but travel on it is made safer and
more satisfactory with having it properly
lighted
Of course, lighting rural roads suggests the
expenditure of a very large sum Of money, and
TO suggest that the roads of Kenosha county
from Wilmot to Berryvile all be converted into
Great White Ways" would be to suggest an
expenditure which would be far beyond the
7eople's idea Of the public purse. Many people
Ill think that the building of good road is

The men of this date who come un-
der the governing sign of Libra, the
scale and the middle sign of the Air
triplicity, and the governing planet
of Venus are cunning and crafty and
are usually found in the stock ex-
changes and other places where gamb-

very fortunate in stocks but very in
constant in matters of the heart.
The power to read other peoples
feelings and the conditions surround

be relieved or spoken Of In this way
the sympathies are Kept in constant
action and without subscribing any
good purpose.

Middle Aged People
aMIDDLEAeEp people,, youth grsets them with ieeEs.
BY BERTON BRALEY

"MIDDLE-AGED PEOPLE, youth greets them with jeers,
And scouts the wisdom that goes with their years;
So youth rushes in without doubt,
And gets into trouble and then is pulled out
BY mddleaged people who long learned
The of caution that youngsters have spurned
"MIDDLEAGED PEOPLE, they're sodgy and tame,
But somehow other they're wise to the game,
And though youth imagines it's running the show,
The mddleaged people making it go.
Bereft of illusions, experienced, wise,
The middle aged people have pretty good eyes.
"MIDDLE-AGED PEOPLE," they're lacking in pep.
They "look they leap they watch every step
And Youth says they're sic ~ / reckon they are
But speed without thought doesn't get very far,
And therefore, while Youth is alert and athrob
It's middle-aged people who dope the job!
"MIDDLE-AGED PEOPLE'-they often hold back
They don't like paths they prefer the old track
AND Youth frets and RACES at and rule
While middle-aged people just smile and keep coolS
For spite Of the talk that the youngsters hurled

Most people are going to accept as good law
the decision of Attorney General Daugherty
that American ships are no more entitled to sell
booze than American saloons. Sensible people
will also be of the opinion that foreign ships
coming unto our ports will abide by the laws
made to govern them. The evident intent of
certain large newspapers to nullify prohibition
because the men who run them want drink is
not counted on to gather any great prestige for
the newspapers.

LEVITY.

The next thing on the program ap-
parently will be the decline of the
American mercantile marine in its
passenger-ship end,
Thirsty traffic will be willing to go
to Canadian ports to sail on liquor
serving foreign ships. Or the for
eign liners will enter our ports and
take on their saloon supplies after
they pass the three-mile limit, trans
ferred from other ships% /
However, this may be in keeping
with our modern mercantile marine
policy, as it might enable Washing
ton to sell our passenger liners at SO
cents apiece.

We do not belong to the XII Klux Klan and
are not particularly in sympathy with it's oper-
ations, but if we sent a reporter out to break
into it's ceremonials we would expect him to at
least be slapped on the wrist if the klansmen
found him butting in. Until the Ku Klux is
shown to have violated the law, it should have
the same right to hold meetings as any other
secret organization flourishing in the state and

IMPORTANT.

What is important, worth noticing
of the many angles of the European
situation? Well, here's one that
stands out pretty strongly-in fact
indelibly:
The French government has not yet
ratified the program of the Washing
ton naval disarmament conference
This is the "key" to the European
situation, if there is any key. An
American can understand the French
claim that they need a big army to
protect them against Germany. But
for that purpose, she doesn't need q
supremacy, especially submarines.

the announcement that a meeting of
men Interested will be held here Oc-

iture Of $1O,0o0,000.
A monorail system for transporta-

is included in the plans. This system
has an overhead track along which
suspended cars can be borne at high
rate of speed. Chs method is used
chiefly in Europe but the promoters

You do not make personal COM
