ROADS MAINTAINED BY
COUNTY COOPERATION

Counties in Wisconsin took over
the maintenance OF their roads on
May L, 1918. The state commits
sioner established nine divisions in
the state, each having about eight
counties. A resident engineer is in
charge of each division, under him a
corps of assistants, who maintain,
mark and sign their territory, visit
the patrolmen twice a month and re-
port each visit by card to the main
office. In 1922 the commission at
Madison received reports of 10,94c
visits. Three members of the county
board supervise road work, and a
county highway commissioner is also
elected to have charge of all road o n
| struction and maintenance work in
his county.
The patrolmen enter into written
a $500 bond as guarantee of service
and good care of tools and machinery
furnished by the county.
Wisconsin has both team patrol
and motor truck or tractor patrol.
For the team patrol the patrolmen
furnish a team and q wagon, and the
county furnishes a light-blade grader,
and other necessary small tools. On
the motor patrol all equipment is fur
nished by the county. Sections cared
for by team patrols average six and
three-quarter miles, and the patrol
men work from April ! to December
l for $140-S165 per month. Between
December 1 and April / patrolmen
agree to work when requested at a
fixed price per hour. Motor trucl;
and tractor patrols cost the coun-
ties ON the average of about S110 pei
per month each.
The Wisconsin system is the re
suit of Investigations which the road
commission carried on in other states
regarding satisfactory systems OF
road maintenance and for practica.
methods of improving ordinary town
roads which had heretofore been UNI
der the care of a township director
with wide territory, limited tine and
more limited money. Wisconsin's
total mileage on all classes of high
ways is $4,000. When the county
maintenance work was commence,
255 miles were concrete, 1775 miles
stone macadam, 1860 gravel and
$4,000 miles earth. Under the coun-
~ maintenance system each county
OWNS much of its own road maintain
ing equipment and enjoys better
roads with less expenditure Of time
and money. Many improvements
have been originated by township
votes.

POWER AND ROADS
INTIMATELY RELATED

The proposed giant power system
of Pennsylvania and the 's%uperpower
system of the Atlantic seaboard have
an intimate relation with highway de-
velopment, which the proponents Of
such systems are now considering as
of very great Importance.
Hard roads offer a solution to this
problem of the development of rural
power lines which are to be under
ground, since such conGuits naturally
follow the hard roads for many rea-
sons; the need of easy access for re-
pairs and additions and the growing
necessity to light the highways being
among the greatest. The engineering
problem is now in process of solution
in road and electrical laboratories.
The farmer is demanding electric
power, and with reason, for statistics
show that he can be supplied at a
price which is wholly an economic
possibility.
Governor Pinchot in an article on
the subject of the giant power survey
for Pennsylvania notes that "In On
tario, where the Canadians have eX-
pended more than $500, 100000 in
utilizing Niagara's water power, the
| government finds it possible to supply
current to farms at rates which are
making it's introduction quite general
throughout the province. This power
is used for domestic purposes-cook-
ing, cleaning, washing and ironing
and for purely farm purposes, such as
milking, %churning, pumping and
t%hreshing.
There vas a time not Sc long ago
when the farmers ideal was to own
a homestead free of mortgage. He is
no longer satisfied with that. He
knows that the country cannot pros
per unless he prospers. He feels thai
he and his wife and children are EN-
titled to as many of the advantages OF
modern life as the folks who live ir
the city. He wants to have his farm
as fully equipped with labor-saving
machinery as the best modern fac
tory. He wants to be able TIC use his
brains for something better thar
chores. He wants to share in the
benefits of the electrical age. He anc
his wife want an electrically equipped
farm. And nothing is more certain
than that in the end he is going tc
have it,"

CROPS AND WEATHER
FOR WEEK OF NOV. q

Observer H. F. Alps of the Reno
weather bureau of the department Of
agriculture has issued the following
weather and crop report for the week
ending November 27:
Warm, dry weather prevailed dur
ing the week, with normal sunshine
and wind movement. The lowest
temperature for the season so far
was recorded in the northern two
thirds of Nevada. The lowest tenn
perature at Winnemucca was IL de-
grees and the lowest at Reno was
19 degrees. The mean temperature
for the week was about 2.5 degrees
above normal. No precipitation was
reported.
The weather continued excellent
for livestock and all outside work.
Flowing made fairly good progress
and road building and other outside
activities went forward without de-
lay. A good stand of grain is re-
ported in the localities where winter
grain is cultivated. Grass is dry in
the north, but forage is fair to good
in the central and southern portions.
Sheep are in the desert in the south
where the water supply and range
feed are ample. Ranch pastures are
| good in the centra, and west portions
and sheep will remain on ranches un-
til the water supply is furnished by
snowfall in the north portion Of the
desera range. Cattle arc reported to
! he making good gains at feeding sta
lions. Large numbers of beef cat
, tie arc being fed in the vicinity of
Lovelock and on western ranches.
Dirt roads are dusty and rough in
the north because of the long dry
period. Roads are in excellent con-
dition for this season of the year in
the south portion.

DEATH CLAIMS
NOTED ACTRESS
Divine Sarah Breathes Last in
Arms of Son Maurice in
Paris Home.

Paris-Sarah Bernhardt died peace
fully in the arms of her son, Maurice.
In life she had had an amazing power
of emotion, of marvellous realism and
pathos in her acting of death scenes.
At the end of her days she quietly
drifted away into eternity, tired after
her long fight against death, which
she did not wish, but never feared.
She was n years old
Hope for the life of the great actress
had long since been abandoned, and
half an hour before she passed away,
those in attendance found her sinking
beyond recovery, though, knowing
her recuperative powers, it was
thought she might live throughout
the night.
Death was due to a renewed attack
of uraemic poisoning, but the actress
astonished her physicians by her re,
peated rallies and her will to live,
just as She. did last December when
hope had several times, been aban
doned
