HIGHWAY NAPKINS TO
BE CHANGED NEXT YEAR

Eighty four per cent of the original
mileage Of concrete paving planned by
the state highway commission of Wis
consin had been completed up to Sep
TENDER 8 and enough mileage during
October to bring the program for 1923
to within 95 per cent of completion if
is thought makes a total Of obout 400
miles of concrete highway laid during
the summer of 1923. July was the
banner month for road construction
when 95.93 miles were put down.
The report Of the highway commits
sion advises that counties do not re-
mark their systems as the entire sys-
tenn will have to be newly marked in
1924, due to the changes in numbering
resulting from the addition Of $500
miles of road to the state trunk high
way system.
A total of 1914 accidents have been
reported to the highway commission
in which 3463 persons were involved
and 80 persons were killed The ma
jority Of accidents are due to speeding
and reckless driving according to tire

FIERY CROSS
IS REPORTED
EAST OF CITY

A resident of the eastern part Of
the city reports that burning cross
appeared on the hill just south OF
the fairgrounds on Tuesday evening.
Whether a symbol of the Ku K1ux
Khan or merely a Joke, the cross
stood out clearly outlined against the
background of field just at the rear
Of the Harley Wickus home. Instead
of being elevated as was the cross
which made its appearance On the
same night in the western part of the
city, this cross was made by sprink-
ling shavings or sawdust evidently
soaked in oil and placed in the shape
of the cross on the slant of a hill.
The fire burned for some time and
those who visited the spot stated
that the burned outline on the
ground was still visible yesterday.

no time to stop. / threw on the

over her. AS the machine stopped
Mrs Glazier turned her flash light
back onto, the open road and she
was sure some surprised, expecting
to see the mangled form Of the deer.
But few scratches on the road and
a bit of hair was all we could find.
The next morning at day light / took
up the trail and followed it to the
mountain side few rods away. There
was no sign Of cripple she was still
hitting on all four. She hoped the

passed on up the canyon trail to the
grassy mesa above.
Boy Face to Face With Buck
A few days later Mrs. Glazier saw
a deer standing in a lot just back of
the barn, she also saw three deer in
the grapes some weeks before. Our
boy came face to face with a big
buck up on the mesa above the house,
say quarter of mile away and the
same buck was probably killed, dur
ing the open season, a few rods west
of our place.

TOPREYENI' WAR
is DISCUSSED
Two Papers Are Presented Fort
nightly Club; One on League
And One on World Court

The great outstanding contribution
which the present generation is max
ing for the betterment of mankind is
embodied in the League of Nations,
declared Rev. r. M. Laurenson on
Friday night before the members Of
the Fortnightly Literary club at the
homo of Mr.. and Mrs. R. B. Griggs.
The League has been in existence
for three years, three years when
mems racial and political hatreds
were turned loose. Man has harbored
hate, jealousy and fear SO long that
they cannot be eradicated in three
years. The world cannot be revolu
tionized in that, length of time, the
speaker declared.
Rev. Laurenson approached his
subject by asking what the federal
government of the United States &C
complished in the first three years of
it's existence, what did the Magma
Cartar do in three years, and finally
WudI was LAS ISCO1u VI CAO Cul A0CA"h
church in the same period of time?
All did something but could not do
all.
Among the things the League is
doing, the following may be men
toned:
Settling international questions.
Abolishing slavery in an African
territory.
Settling labor quarrels.
Abolishing child labor.
Stimulating higher education.
Stopping nefarious traffic in won
en-.
There are now ffty-three nations
in the League, the leading ones on
the outside bing the United States,
Mexico and Turkey.
In his discussion the speaker men
toned some of the things which have
actually been accomplished by the
world body
OutIaWng War
Mrs. E: Aug Runge spoke on the
World Court This body was estab-
lished by the League of Nations to
pass upon questions and like the
Supreme court of the state or United
States has no power to enforce it's
findings. The World court meets at
The Hague and is having many ques-
tions coming before it.
Mrs. Runge believed in outlawing
war by educating the young in the
proper direction. Disputes among
nations can be settled by courts as
well as differences between individ
uals and this thought should be burn
ed into the minds Of the younger
generation. To be effective this edu-
cation must be a growth. The schools
of the world are the hope for per
manent peace, the speaker declared.
TIL subject was discussed by the
members and visitors of the club,
some being in favor of the United
States Joining the League and some
being opposed.
