PLATTE RIVER BRIDGE
READY IN TWO WEEKS

The celebrated Platte river bridge
on the Potosi-Dickeyville road, in the
hands of builders since a year ago
last spring, will be ready for use in
about two weeks, ]. R. Vernon Of the
district highway Office said Monday.
The bridge pavement is in and the
pouring on of concrete for the surface
will be completed by today. After
two weeks of curing" the surface the
bridge, after many delays, will be
ready for use.
Traffic between Potosi and Dickey-
vile has been by means of detour
most of the time. This detour strikes
off at fork of the ridge road below
Tennyson and winds through virgin
forest and over the rocky beds of
purling streams. Taking it all in all,
while the detour passes through a
beautiful region along wild and seen
ic "Injun Creek" it is positively the
worst detour in the world and the
Herald advises all travellers enroute
to and from Dubuque to pass via
Platteville until the new bridge is
open,

Open HEALTH
CRUSADE INC0.
RURAL SCHOOLS

In ancient times a crusader was a
person who fought in the Holy Land
for the possession of the sepulchre Of
Jesus, The inhabitants of the Holy
were MOslems who also held the place
holy because it was one of the shrines
Of their religion. They resisted the
onslaught of the European Christian
crusaders and the battle went on for
many centuries without much result
except for the religious zeal inspired
In the modern sense a crusader is
one who takes up the battle for a
worthy cause even though most mod
ern battles are fought without blood
shed. Such a cause is the Modern
Health Crusade" being waged in all
parts of America for the purpose Of
raising the physical standard of man
hood and womanhood through the de-
yelopment of the child Naturally
this work can best be carried on
through the media of the schools.
On Monday of this week Mrs. Bar
bara Fletcher, County Health Nurse,
met the county health committee and
presented plans for the beginning of
health crusade in the schols of the
county. The crusade, in brief, is a

health habits. Through elements Of
play and romance it gives the child
the motive needed for the practice Of
hygiene. Under crusade methods the
pupils do the duties that explained in
books of physiology and hygiene but
too often left undone.
The results of a crusade course are
physical and moral improvement, pre-
yention of disease and better attend
ance and attention at school. The
course links the school and the home,
reaching the pupils parents.
Children ever 6 years are enrolled
ir the course the first step being Of
fetal health chores. Adults may quail
ify through the senior health chores.
A record of these chores is kept and
awards made for the faithful perfor-
nance.
The plan and materials needed will
be supplied the schools of the county
shortly after the opening of school
this fall At that time the matter will
be treated at greater length.
Mrs. Fletcher read her monthly re-
port to the state board of health
which indicated that she had conduc-
ted three baby clinics, two demon
strations of home nursing, five demon
STATIONS on infant care, made 80 Wis
it's to various homes and travelled
$50 miles during the month.

WOMAN, so, HOLDS RECORD
FOR SCALING CASTLE ROCK

Miss Mollie Schroeder of San An
tonic, Texas, and Miss Charlotte
Pfeiffer, superintendent of nurses at
the Milwaukee Deaconess hospital,
are guests at the home of Rev. John
Hack and wife. They are greatly
taken with the pleasing scenery of
this beautiful region.
Another guest expected this sum-
is Mrs Louise Stuckey of Monroe,
Mrs. HACKS mother. This old lady
aged 80, probably holds the record for
being the oldest person to scale NAM
moth Castle Rock in Blue River val
ley. Last summer, Mrs. Stuckey, I'M
aided, made the climb which is said to
be nearly 400 feet in altitude from the
the floor of the valley. 1t is also
straight up" most of the way. The
climb taxes many people of 20 and
80. Mrs Stuckey also visited the
state park at Wyalusing and clam
bered to all the points of interest
without trouble.

INTERSTATE co. DEPENDS
UPON WATER FOR POWER

The Interstate Power Co., supply
ing Lancaster and adjoining towns
with electric current, is depending
upon its hydroelectric, or water power
generating plant at DEBORAH, supple
mented by purchased current from a
similar plant at Pra. du Sac, to keep
the wheels of industry turning and
homes and business houses lighted, in
the present coal shortage. The com
pany has a five-weeks supply of coal
on hand but it is conserving this
against the time when water power
fails from low rivers or freeze up from
cold weather.
All will probably work well unless
the water drops too low in the rivers.
The company asks patrons to be pa
tient with slight disturbances as it is
doing it's best to maintain service.
Some companies have shut down en-
tirely during the fuel shortage.

CHEVROLET COUP
FILLS BIG NEED Il ].
New Utility Car Combines
High Quality and Low Prices
For Business Man.

II A new Chevrolet model, the util-
ity coupe, was designed to meet a
tspecific large demand. The profes-
sional or commercial motorlst mas
always preferred a car of moderate
seating capacity with ample fac1li-
ties for carrying instruments, aP-
+paratus, merchandise and luggage.
Heretofore the choice of such
drivers has been limited. Open
roadsters, while most economical
to operate because of light weight
have not met the requirements OF
aI1-year service and protection
against the weather.
Other highgrade coupes. while
most desirable in appearance and
appointments, have offered too
much seating capacity and weight
for professional or commercial pur-
poses, and have been too expensive
both in first cost and in mainte-
nance.
Its price. is actually lower than
many open roadsters, yet 1t pro
vides the all7year serviceabllty.
style and comfort of the strictly
high-g grade closed car.
Business houses are coming to
realize that their statesmen should
! have automotive equipment on a
par with the reputation of the
house. The old idea of buying
strictly on a price basis is being
discarded and selling staff equip
ment is now bought with an eye to
it's own effect on sales.

dealers, will be glad to show and
