One of the finest of the wild lobelias
is the great blue lobelia. said to have
been used by the American Indians
in treatment of disease, according to
Nature Magazine. This species is
found throughout the area east of the
Mississippi river and, like its more
handsome relative, the cardinal flower,
prefers wet habitat.

NOW is TIME TO HAVE
MOTOR OVERHAULED

During the winter months
is the ideal time to have
your car motor overhauled,
Or to have any other motor
or car repair work done. We
are over the rush of the
good roads season and our
mechanics can settle down
to giving your motor their
complete attention without
being so frequently inter
rupted for other service
jobs. Our shop is we'll

equipped with all the mod
ern repair machines and
tools to do a first class re-
pair job. If you will drive
your car in, we will gladly
have Mr.. Finnell or Mr.. Nit
ton go over the car, tell you
where the trouble is or may
be expected and make an
estimated cost of the need

PROTECT YOUR
RADIATOR

Don't forget these cold
days to have your radiator
properly protected against
frost. Another thing to
watch about the car is to be
sure your battery is properly
charged so that it will not
freeze. If an anit-freeze
solution will protect your
radiator and save you the
bother of draining, we re-
commend that you let us fill
it.

a large mileage of the highways.
Where this is the case the towns have
gone ahead and hauled this gravel on
to the roads and have been able to
keep out of the mud and they have
had large portion of their highways
surfaced for the past twenty years
and more, but in the area covered by
this division, practically no local grav-
ell beds are available and the only
surfacing material that is available is
the solid rock bluffs. Up to within the
past three years macadam roads have
been built but the experience has been
that these macadam roads rut up very
badly and are difficult and expensive
to maintain.
failing Roads Fragile
During the past five years a con-
siderable mileage of roads have been
built from tailings obtained from the
zinc and lead mines in the district.
These tailings roads have proven very
satisfactory on light travelled roads;
but where the traffic was heavy, av-
eraging over 500 cars per day, they
have required considerable new mater
ial each year. Where the roads were
close to the tailings, satisfactory re-
suits have been secured by adding
new material each year, but where it
was necessary to ship the tailings it
has been found that stone could be
crushed locally just as cheap or cheap
er, and the material that will pass a
one inch screen has proven more sat
isfactory than the tailings. In watch
ing the roads surfaced with tailings,
it was noted that the coarse tailings
stood up the best under traffic.
Use Crushed Rock
We therefore experimental with
crushed rock that would pass a q
inch screen and that would pass a
one inch screen, placing this material
on the road similar to gravel, keep
ing man on the road all the time
with a grader, and letting the traffic
work it in. This has proved very sue
cessful and roads built of material
passing a one inch screen three years
ago are still in very good shape and
do not indicate that they are rutting
up and getting wavy. Considerable
mileage of this character of road has
been built and the experience has
been that the crushed rock can be too
hard. The smoothness of the road de-
ponds largely upon the amount OF

on geological formation in south
western Wisconsin is from the pen
of Thomas Reilly, District Engineer
for the state highway commission.
Mr.. Reilly's article treats the road
subject in complete and interest
ing manner.)
The map shown above shows the
road system in Division No. of the
Highway Commission, with offices at
Lancaster, and comprising the follow
ing counties: Crawford, Grant, Iowa,
Lafayette and Richland.
Area Unglaciated
The area included in this district
is all unglaciated and consequently
all very hilly. The topography of the
country makes the building of roads
very difficult and expensive as it is
often necessary to relocate the roads
to make a satisfactory grade. In
making Investigations for relocations
we very often find that it is necessary
to relocate the roads back to approx
imately the location they were when
the country was first settled. AS the
country developed farm land became
more valuable and the owners pur-
suaded the local officials to place the
highways on land that was not suit
able for agricultural purposes. This
process has continued for several
years until now some of the roads are
in an extremely poor location and it
is necessary to relocate a consider
able portion of them. If this condition
had not been permitted, the location
of the roads would have been much
simpler matter and the condition of
the highways at the present time
would be much better than it is. How
ever, no one can be blamed for the
condition as the traffic at the time
these roads were shifted from their
correct location was such that the To-
cation on which they were placed was
not so bad. But during the past few
years automobile traffic has supple
mented team traffic and the sharp
turns have become extremely danger
Gus on a large mileage of the roads.
Road Surfacing Difficult
The fact that the area is unglaci-
ated has made the surfacing of the
roads quite a difficult problem and
has also delayed the surfacing. In a
large area of the state, gravel beds
are available with a short haul for

binder or material that will pass
through a Il inch screen. Experience
has shown that a very smooth road
can be had when between Is and 400
of the total volume of material is be-
low Il inch in size. If the amount of
fines in the crushed stone is too small
the stone will not bond up and the re-
suit will be that during the rainy
spells clay will work up through the
road and makes it difficult to main
tain as it should be maintained, due
to the clay getting extremely hard.
Considering the fact that practically
any kind of lime stone will give a sat
isfactory surface we can surface prac-
tically all of the roads in the district
with this material with reasonable
haul.
Use Tar Carpet
On the heavier travelled roads car
rying an average of more than 5Oo
cars a day the road wears away very
rapidly, averaging from one to Two
inches per year, depending on the
amount of travel and quality of the
stone. Several experiments have been
tried, placing a tar carpet on the ROAD
with an absorbent material consisting

end of this year sufficient results Will
have been secured to know If this
method is satisfactory. The cost of the
surface treatment will be about $4,000
per mile for a width of Is feet the
first year, and will probably average
$4,000 for each succeeding year.
Compared to Concrete
This may look high but when you
figure that a concrete pavement Will
cost between $20,O0O.00 and S25,OOOOO
per mile to construct, the interest on
this sum of money would be 100000
per year. Assuming that concrete
road will last twenty years, it would
be necessary to set aside 100000 for
the replacement of the concrete road
at the end of twenty years, and allow
ing $4,000 per mile for the mainten-
ance of a concrete road, we would
have a total of $25O0.00 per mile per
year for the cost of concrete road.
The average cost of a crushed stone
road has been 100000 per mile for
26 foot feather edge surfacing. The
interest on this sum of money at six
per cent would be $4,000 per mile
per year. The surface treatment would
average S17500 per mile per year, ad-
