In spite of determined efforts to
wipe it out of existence the little
red school house still holds forth in
Wisconsin. 1t most likely is painted
white now but the Accommodations are
no better
Little one room shacks built rs
years ago are still being used for
school purposes in some sections of
the state with practically no inn
provements since they were built.
But they are passing with the in

Tenders and an effort was made ut
the last session of the legislature to
take the construction of these build

failed. Farmer members of the leg

school structures more cheaply if
not forced to live up to certain spe-
cifications.

Why Not the Autumn Tourist?

Wisconsin is being advertised as n
summer vacation land Its appeal to
those who want TO get out into the
open, who want to engage in sports
or rest beside the lakes, has not been
overdrawn. But what about the
autumn vacation season2
The state has wonderful autumn
days-a cloudless horizon on which
the mellowed tones of fall are blend
ed by the blue haze of Indian sum
mer. Just enough nip in the morn
ing air to be bracing; bright sun
shine at noon; and in the evening
the stiffness that one finds only in
the season before the winter. Beauty
spots are more beautiful then. shore
lines and river lines are enhancing;
miles and miles of forests i'm which
the green of the pines mingle with
the ycllOws and reds of the soft
woods and hard woods. Water sports
are as good then as in the summer.
And there are many new interests to
appeal to the traveller
Wisconsin has all these things, but
it hasn't told anyone about them yet.
We shut up shop on Labor day and
give the impression that it is all over
until the next summer
Here is where we are missing big
opportunity There is real autumn
vacation business and Wisconsin
should have its share, But there is
only one way to get ito tell people
about the charm Of Wisconsin in
autumn and then be prepared to care
for them when they come Milwau-

LA TOILETTE TO HOLD MEET.
ING OF LEADERS
Plans for Next Years Campaign Will
Be Made at Political Gather
ing in October.

Madison-Senator Robert M. La
Toilette, whose candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for president
has gained impetus in Wisconsin since
the death of President Harding, is to
call conference of political lieuten.
ants in the state shortly after his re-
turn from Europe during October,
according to statement by Speaker
John L. Dahl of the assembly.
Before leaving for Europe, Senator
La Toilette is reported by the speaker
to have expressed his intention to
hold meeting of his leaders to dis
cuss political plans. This is borne
out by a statement of the senator as
he boarded his boat telling the people
of Wisconsin that he would be back
in the senate sometime during 0cto-
Der.
The immediate task of La Fol-
lette followerers is 80 capture the en-
tire Wisconsin delegation to the nat
ional convention in June, 1924,
Should the October conference de-
velop as reported, those interested
say that the question of delegate cleo
tions in April, 1924, will be consid-
cred.
Selection of four delegates at
large to represent the La Toilette
faction within the Republican party
is to be the first problem attacked,
in the opinion af Speaker Dahl.
Governor Blaine is expected to be
one of the delegate candidates, with
the remaining three to be determin-
ed upon at the conference.
1t is expected by those in the con
fidence of Senator IL Toilette that
each congressional district will be
represented at this conference. The
leaders in these counties will be di-
rected to select two La Toilette
standard bearers for delegate cleo
tons in the IL Wisconsin congress
sional districts.
Special interest will be attached
to the naming of the four candi-
dates for positions as delegates at
large. Republican leaders say nam
ing of these men will indicate whet-
her La Toilette PrOgressives are to
recognize the insurgent forces within
the ranks and whether some defer
ence will be shown to the dry ele
ment, according to the politicians,
The conservative Republicans may
hold conference at the State Fair
in Milwaukee, August 28 to Septem-
Der /. at which plans for the April
delegate elections will be tentatively
arranged The program of action to
be followed by the conservatives has
gone unannounced up to the present
time.
There is said to be a likelihood
that definite organization will be
functioning for the Conservative Re
publicans before the delegate cam
paign gets under way. A determin-
ed effort is to be made to prevent
the election of a solid La Toilette
representation at the convention, sew
eral conservative leaders have said.

NEW AUTO LICENSE PLATES
DECIDED ON
Next Years License Plates Will Be
Black With White Numerals.

Madison-Next years auto license
plates will be black with white num-
erals, according to decision reached
at conference of officials in the sec
rotary of states Office
The special licenses to be issued
for cars owned by the state, counties
or cities will be red with white num-
erals. These licenses will be issued
for 81 and will not need be renewed
for the life of the truck
There will be about a dozen diff
ferent kinds of license plates issued

ferent price, bringing an avalanche of
work to the secretary of states Of
fee. Cars will have licenses with
letter of the alphabet on them to
designate their weight class which
will determine the fee to be charged
for them.
Truck licenses to comply with the
new law continue to come into the

the fact that a test suit has been
started in Milwaukee to determine
the right of the state to charge an
other fee after trucks have already
been licensed for the year

rotos directors of the American Iron
and Steel institute decided at recent
meeting in New York.
EIbert II. Gary, president of the
institute and chairman of the U. s.
Steel corporation, in making the for
nal announcement at the conclusion
a. tbe recent conferences, said the
change would be effective as rapidly
a the supply of labor would permit.
He said it was impossible to say
when the changes would be COM
nIete but ne declared there would
be no unnecessary delay on the part
Of anyone
II estimated that the shorter
working day will necessitate the en-
ployment of between 10000 and
$4,000 additional laborers and will
add approximately $45,O0O,0O0 to
the annual payroll of the industry.
The employees in the continuous
process departments, who now re-
ceiye $3.50 for a 12-hour day, will
receive S4.0G for an 8-hour day
under the plan. All other workmen,
it was announced, will be on ten
4 hours or less and their present hour
4 " and base rates will be continued
The action by steel officials, rep
4 resentng substantially the entire
q industry in this country, brought to a
favorable conclusion a series of con-
Il ferences and study of the industry
which began when President Harding,
at the White House dinner, requested
Mr. Gary to undertake an investi-
CATION to ascertain the feasibility of
eliminating the long hours.
A committee, appointed by Mr..
Gary, reported at the May meeting
Of the American Iron and Steel in
stitute that it would be impossible to
reduce hours in the immediate flu
iure because of the shortage of
labor President Harding publicly
expressed his disappointment at the
report and subsequently Mr.. Gary
wrote the president that the indus
Try would begin the elimination of
the much criticized twelve-hour
shift as soon as practicable.
The first formal conference on the
subject was held in New York last
Thursday when heads of the manu-
featuring subsidiaries of the United
States Steel corporation met with
Chalrman Gary and on the following
DAY directors of the American Iron
and Steel institute took up the mat
TEL for the industry as a whole.

Public Roads vas the most complete
highway exhibit ever made by any
government in the world, and this
alone occupied more than 1000 square
feet, and together with those of other
organizations demonstrated the latest
methods evolved in construction Of
highways of all types.
The object of the American Road
Builders Association is the promotion
of educational legislation and other
measures tending to bring about bet
ter and more extensive highway con
struction, as we'll as improved and
more economical methods of highway
construction. Old methods, theories
and ideas Of construction have under
gone a revolution, with many new
things yet to come owing to the new
problems that are constantly arising.
IL is the Associations purpose to pro-
mote in the future as it has in the
past, more progressive, scientific, and
economical construction, as well as
the expansion of the country's high
way system.
The technical papers and addresses
covered many phases of highway de-
velopment, including design and con-
struction on many of the usual types
of highways, highway finance, legIs
lation, highway economics, specifca-
tions, highway research, use and eff
feet of motor trucks on the highways,
maintenance, cost keeping, etc, etc.
The addresses were given by such men
as Mr.. Thomas II. Macdonald, Chief
of the United States Bureau of Public
Roads, Washington, ID. c. and other
leaders in the federal and state high
way programs.
This annual Convention and Road
Show brings together highway offic-
ials, highway engineers, highway con
tractors, producers of highway mater
ials, manufacturers Of highway ma
chinery and equipment, representa-
tives of colleges and universities,
highway research Investigators, man
ufacturers or motor trucks, and others
interested in the vast highway pro-
gram. These come from all parts of
the country and the resulting eX-
change of ideas of all industries, pro-
fessions and interests involved in
highway work is sure to result in i'm
measurable benefit to the highway
program and to the country as a
whole.

disease in Kingsbury county has been
reported.
In Miner county the county agent
worked on So cases OF hog sickness
in 1922, with two outbreaks of hog
cholera which resulted in the vaccina-
ton of 400 hogs.
Workers in Brown county during
1922 made an effort TO better general
stock conditions and to stamp out
animal diseases. Brood sowS Of high
breeding were selected by the county
agent for seven farms and breedinb
males on nine farms were culled out,
while II dairy COWS were imported TO
raise the STANDARDS Of dairy stock in
that county. Last spring health week
was held as a means of stamping out
swine mango, animal tuberculosis and
cholera. Vaccination of approximate
ly 3,742 hogs and little pigs was rec
commended by the county agent. In
the fall, demonstrations Of testing
for tuberculosis were given in
Brown county, 80 farmers signing up
test their cattle according to the
accredited herd plan. During the II
months, 1858 head OF cattle were test
ed upon the recommendation of the
county agent. and GrOton now has a
city ordinance making the testing of
COWS whose milk is sold in the city
compulsory.
These are only a few examples of
extension work in South Dakota.
Through this service higher grades of
animals are secured, farmers are
saved thousands of dollars from the
and treatment Of disease in
herds, and greater livestock prosper
ty is assured.

STATE PROGRESS is SURE

South Dakota in the lifetime of the
next generation will advance to an
agricultural leadership which will be
universally recognized and acknow-
lodged, Irwin ID. Aldrich, Commissioner
of immigration told delegates and Wis
itOrs to the convention of the South
Dakota Corn and Grain Growers as
sociation at Mitchell Tuesday. Il can
show to you that the future is to bring
you important and substantial help in
greater in area than all of that part
of u domain east of the Missouri
river, and as yet hardly untouched by
the piOneer-just out of the shell, SO
to speak shall have delivered my mes
sage.
Il need hardly tell you here. that the
foundation Of successful farming in
the middle west is corn growing.
I'm 1900 South Dakota was the
twenty-third state in the union in the
total production Of corn, with 80, 1907
600 bushels. Ten years later she was
thirteenth, having passed Michigan,
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, in the north,
and Georgia, Virginia, Arkansas, North
Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi in
the south, and her product was 3d.,
100000 bushels. In 1920 with a yield
of los, SOC, 900 bushels she had passed
Oklahoma, Texas and Kentucky and
took tenth place, and in 1921 she
passed Kansas and took ninth place
with q yield of over 125, 900, 900 bush
els. In 1922 the total yield dropped
off a little, but she still holds ninth
place.
Every state that ranks above heI
today is from n to many genera
tions older in settlement and has a
population Of from II to 140 per square
mile. South Dakota has a population
of S.3 per square mile and a rural pop
ulatiOn Of Ga. At the present time
the rural population west of the Mis-
souri, river in South Dakota averages
about two to the square mile. More
than eleven million bushels of corr
