Highway 10 Being Improved.

State Highway No. 10 from Ash
land to Superior is to be improved
to a great extent within the next
year. At the present time it is
one of the best highways in North
ern Wisconsin and when finally
fixed the way the highway officials
wish it will be a perfect piece of
road and in many respects better
than concrete.
A contract was let last week to
Nelson & Grant of Superior for
the crawling of twenty miles of
the highway in Bayfield, county.
The crawling will start at the
Douglas county line and run
nearly to Moquah, a distance of
twenty miles. They expect to
start work at once on the contract.
The cost of the crawling will
be S62,, 849.20.-Ashland Press.

AS to an eight hour day we
long ago discarded such old-fash-
Toned methods. We run on the
hourless wire system. There are
no hours for work at all. Every
thing is hourless and wireless. An
operator devotes a few seconds to
the attendance of a thought. The
mere opening of his mouth starts
disturbance in the air that sets
the wireless forces in motion.
There are the invisible, irresistible
air waves and we have results.
Under this system we do not paw
by the week or the month. We
pay a fixed rate per thought. Your
valuing services at so absurdlv
low a figure indicates you are not
skilled labor-not skilled enough
to achieve a thought.
AS to our cows: they are all
graduates from college for the
higher education of cows and do
not have to be MIXED. Nor horses
are to be hooked up here and we
are even getting beyond the age of
tractors. Airplanes are quicker
and quite as efficient.
1T is extremely painful to- us
to have anyone think we could be
guilty of owning anything so out
of-date as automobiles. We keep
fleet of limousine planes with
expert pilots waiting the pleasure
of all employees of this ultra up

the ordinance fixing the maximum
