LA CROSSE ROAD WORK
MAKES BETTER FARMS
County Road Committee and County
Agent Find Use for Quarry
By-PrCduct on Soil

La Crosse county has discovered a
method for making highway improve
ment aid better farming, Fine lime
stone screening from quarries sup
plying road material are being fur
nished to farmers to improve their
soil and grow alfalfa, at one-third
the cost of commercial ground lime
stone.
About two years ago county agent
w. E. Spreiter began to look for
cheaper sources of lime for alfalfa
growing. La Crosse county uses a
good deal of crushed limestone rock
in road work, operating stone crush
ers in number of county owned
quarries, and Mr.. Spreiter conceived
the idea of using them to supply lime
to farmers. After much investiga-
ton and many conferences, the
county road and bridge committee
installed fine screens in four quar-
RES to separate out the dust and fine
particles for agricultural use.
This season is the first in which
the plan has been tried out and al
ready hundreds of tons of the lime
stone waste have been hauled away
by farmers, who pay one dollar ton
for the material Spreiter reports
that the demand exceeds the supply.
Practically all the limestone goes to
help increase the acreage of alfalfa
in La Crosse county, which will save
farmers thousands of dollars now
paid for hay and feed from other
states. Practical cooperation be-
tween county officials in La Crosse
has resulted in a situation where
highway improvement means soil
and farm improvement also.

TOLL TAKER INJURED

Otto Schwarm was struck by an

time. What an indictment against
our city? Endangering the health
of our children by unsanitary condi-
tions, rendering inefficient the work
of the teacher by oyer-crowqed
school rooms, and jeopardizing the
annual State appropriation of $11S,-
900 by not complying with the State
laws regarding public education.
The Board of Education, realizing
the seriousness of this situation, has
to remedy it, by the building of a
new school on Hall avenue, so stra-
logically located that it would inn
mediately relieve the present made
ouate and unlawful conditions.
At the recent hearing before the
Board of Aldermen, there were only
two objections offered to the pro-
posed building project, namely: (1)
That bonds could not be issued to
finance the project, because the city
had reached it's debt limit. This was
thoroughly discussed, and to me
completely and conclusively answer
ed; (2) That the building of this
school would hinder other city I'M
proyemerfts. This undoubtedly is
true, but the one who wants to do
right should never lose sight of

American public opinion seems to
have come over to frances side to
n considerable extent since the Ruhr
was invaded.
At first the seizure appeared to be
regarded very dOuCtfuLy here, evil
uently on the theory that it probably
would disturb world business again,
with everybody but France wanting
It quieter. Now Il great deal Of SYM

auCs changed his.
1t may influence the Washington
administration some, ana prevent

aelp the French much.

nearer to the situation" and has a

want Frances Ruhr venture to sue

Not that the British want the

enough.
Just that little hint doesn't
amount to enough to get suspicious
of other countries over, lest they str
somebody to start trouble with us.
All The same, it $ been noted that
wars sometimes are framed up
for just such reasons
For example, ogiy a day or two
ago Dean Inge, the popular London
pulpit orator, made the pubuc
charge that public passion is being
worked up in America for a gratul-
tous attack on Japan" the kind OF
remark that isn't calculated to make
the Japanese like US.

there may be interests that would
look to profit by it il America were
involved in a serious conflict

OF course the reason this petty
disturbance attracts so much atten-

seemingly of no more consequence
served as the signal to the world

the principal, as the interest on
what she has to borrow ABROAD.
In the first place, she's always
charged a pretty stiff rate-gener-
ally around to Pc cent, which
is high for a government.
But the main point is that, having
no recognized money unit of her
own, whatever China borrows she
gets in silver, at its market price at
the time the loans made.
BY an odd coinciderce-which in
terantlonal financiers may be able
to explain, however-every time a
loan is paid over to her the price
of silver chances to be very high, so
that the bankers making the loan
have to give her comparatively lit
tie of it, and every time she pays
any of it back the price is very low,
so that she has to give her creditors
a great deal.
In this way, probably it wouldn't

BORDER DAYS
Liano Grande
By Mr.. X. l.. NJ.

u HIS is the first installment of the
long promised series, Border Days,
covering few of the incidents of
army life on the Mexican Border in 1916
and 1917, during the trouble with the re-
public to the south.
l can say without reservation that
Llano Grande, Texas, is the most desolate
spot that anyone could possibly conceive.
The day the troop train stopped by the
lone water tank to disgorge its khaki-ciad
passengers the area that was to be the
base for the camp was an almost inpene-
trable mass of brush and chaparral pecu-
liar to desert countries. A small footpath
was the only thoroughfare once off the
Mercedes-Donna road
The first night in camp was spent under
the canopy of stars as it was an utter i'm
possibility to pitch even the miniature pup
tents under such circumstances. Let it be
know that even summer nights in southern
Texas are somewhat cool, perhaps the
more noticeable as the days are almost un-
bearably hot with the mercury Auctuating
between 10 degrees and 12O degrees.
The following morning we began our
seemingly endless task of converting this
veritable jungle into an army camp, and
as we were inadequately equipped, hav-
ing nothing but bayonets and trench
shovels and mattoxes it was really man.
ual labor to attack the thick, juicy stems
of yucca plants and cactus to say nothing
of the danger of encountering the needles
of the latter.
Many were the recriminations that
night as we gathered around the camp
fire to compare calloused hands. Red
horse" bread and jam, and near coffee
was our reward for the toll of the day,
besides the fifty cent wage, for this was
when soldiers drew but $500 month.
After all the clearing of site for our
company street was the least of our trou-
bles. There had to be vast parade
ground so that the camp officers might
earn their pay by reviewing us every Fri
day evening" l have distinct recollec
ton that l, personally, cut down half of
the mesquite in the state of Texas with
dull bayonet
Sleep was entirely out of the question
after the last note of the sweetest of all
army calls, Taps, had died away. We
were rockies almost without exception and
for the most part were of tender age so
the thrill of the first night as a full-Aedged
soldier kept us awake. But even more
potent was the vast army of mosquitoes,
and as the War Department had over
looked this phase of the local features in
neglecting to provide nets for our pro-
lection, we reclined and cussed or took
the inquisitory torture quietly, according
to our individual nature.
The next day was worse, but when
Retreat was sounded we took view of
fairly large clearance with pleasure and
satisfaction.
A month of this labor provided all the
necessary space, and we turned to the
regular army routine of hike, drill, and
then more drill. Many men were unable
to stand the heat of the sun, as the regi
ment was from the north, in fact it was
the First Minnesota Infantry, and the
