CONDOLENCES NOT IN ORDER
Strong Probability That Mrs. Green
Would Not Have Welcomed That
Suggested Committee.

To-day" continued the lady Of the
house, "an express wagon called and

chuckled the man Of the house.
Green told me he and his wife were
going to Europe on a long trip. He's
been making money instead Of losing
it. He didn't care TO pay the rent

Wisconsin Roads Encourage
Tourists

1t is five years since Wisconsin
adopted the system OF marking It's
highways for the convenience and
guidance of travellers, and placing
the improved highways under the
care of regular patrols, charged with
the duty of keeping these roads in
good condition, The expense that has
been devoted TO tins public service,
however, has brought abundant ret
urns, 1t is estimated that during the
five years outside tourists have left
not less than $500, 600, 00Oin Wisconsin
with an estimated profit of 500, 900,
900 or more than seven times the
amount actually expended for patrol
maintenance and the marking Of the
state highways. The people OF Wis
consin are pretty well converted to
the value and benefits of good roads
and proper maintenance, but it is
good thing occasionally to remind
them how this new system actually
Is paying for itself, and more, not
only In advantages and convenience
accruing to state residents, but IN
actual, tangible returns that are
shared by all.

years, especially in Ohio. Michigan.

predict that the time is not far di,
ant when it will be possible for the
motorist to travel from one large city
10 another, all over the middle ives
with assurance of finding paved
highways nearly everywhere.
The prairie states between the Mis-
issippi river and the Rocky mountains
have not as yet been able to accom-
plish much il the way of permanent
road improvement, but during the
touring season the dirt roads Ia that
region are frequently dragged and
scraped, so that travel over them ls
seldom difficult except in wet weather
Wisconsin continues to grow in
popularity as the playground of the
middle west; this is easily admitted
by those who glimpse the out-sta
license plates of tourists who visit
here annually. Milwaukee journal.

Machine Quickly Cleans Cotton.

A machine that embodles novel
process Of opening and cleaning cot
ton by subjecting 1t to extremely
rapid vibration Ia a current Of air
has been developed in England. The
machine consists of cast-Iron base
that supports dust-proof sheet
metal casing with a seml-crcular top.
inside which Il horizontal, perforated
drum rests for its whole length upon
IA small rotating brush, which slowly
revoves the drum, keeping its perfora-
lions clean. Inside and at the bottom
Of the drum there is a small and rap
idly revolving rotor with a large NUM-
her Of right and left-han1 spiraled
blades. SO that when the cotton fed
into the machine falls on this rotor, It
is kept in constant motion backward
and forward and is thus thoroughly
opened up all dust adhering to Ii being
removed II then becomes so light
that a current OF air pumped through
pipe that penetrates one end of the
drum blows the cotton through an out
lex ut the other end, into condenser.

WHY Tourists Like Wisconsin

In the last few years there has
been such a marked improvement in
roads throughout the country that
comfortable auto touring is possible
now in regions which not long ago
were accessible only by railroad and
wagon.
This is particularly true of certain
sections of northern Wisconsin, the
far west, the south and the Canadian
northwest.
Before the world war there was
very little touring between the north
eastern states and Florida, owing to
the bad condition of eertainimportant
highways in Virginia and Georgia,
but eventually this condition was
remedied by improvement of these
missing links, so that now it is pos
ible to reach Florida and the other
winter resorts in the southeast over
roads that do not become quGgmires
every time it rains.

general use. the attractions of
New England, New York and New
Jersey have been recognized by east
ern motorists, and each year sees an
ever increasing volume of travel in
these populous states.
AS an all around touring ground it
would be difficult to find any that is
superior to Wisconsin, because it not
only provides pleasing variety of
scenery but is also cris crossed by
uniformly excellent state highways
we'll maintained.
Pennsylvania and New York must
be reckoned with soon because state
highway departments are at work on
a vast road improvement scheme which
when completed, will open up an
entirely new field to automobile
touring.
A marked renaissance in road bnild-
ing has been in evidence in the mid

twelve babies of hers. lying on the

they heard her call. They were per-

1t was all the result of obedience, per-
