new INDUSTRY
FOR BARABOO

Baraboo is soon to have a taxicab
service.
While in Chicago at the auto show,
L. H. Hill, proprietor Of the Warren
hotel, and son, Harold, inspected the
various makes of taxicabs and de-
cided to purchase and install a fleet
of one of the standard makes. Mr..
Hill states that a new bus and bag
gage truck has also been ordered foi
use in connection with the hotel.
The taxicabs, which are expected
to arrice as soon as the freight ser
vice is less lcongested, will give both
day and night service in and out of
the city and viii be bonded carriers.
Mr. Hill believes that Baraboo has
reached the stage where the standard
taxicab will fill needed want.

.eW System
OF Marking
Roads, Plan

The motto of the wisconsin High
way commission, Serve the Traffic
has developed plan to change the
highway markings from telephone and
telegraph poles to a position close to
the path of the vehicles. This change
is to bring the sign where it can be
seen at all times. The old signs were
easily missed in some cases, parti-
cularly at night, and even when the
sign was observable the numbers were
not easily read. A supporting staff will
be provided. bearing the number of
the highway and letters to indicate
that the road is a part Of the state
trunk line system. The design will
differ from the present marking in
that the black numbers of the road
will be larger and will stand out more
emphatically on the white background
The signs will be placed as close
to the vehicle path as practicable, to
be the more easily observed and read
by moving traffic.

Club MEETS TO
DISCUSS GIRLS

The Twentieth Century. club met at
the home of Mrs. Armor Brown on
Thursday afternoon with nearly all
members present and several visitors.
Mrs. w. H. Hatch gave a review of
Beatrice Forbes-Robertson Hale's
book, Whats Wrong With Our
Girls, a subject which touches the
lives OF all women.
If we desire future of accomplish
ment for women, now that the tools
are in their hands we must look to
the rising generation. America to'
day stands like colossus above the
world. She probably holds the scales
of the destinies of white civilization,
She possesses the largest class of
educated free citizens tn world has
ever known. The work OF women is
needed to aid man to establish world
peace. This is the service to which
the enlightened and organized wom-
en- Of America should dedicate them
selves, and what is far more impOr-
tant-their children Where are you
going girls of Am erica? Like an army
with banner you trip by, ignoring
alike Our frcwning criticism and our
advice For all your dearness You
are strangers to US. For all our teach
ing we have helped you so little, you
do not tell us your goal, for you do
not know it. Will you rem ember that
to be a woman is the most sacred
task of life?
Girls of America-your ways are
not our ways, we do not always ap-
prove them, as our mothers die not
always approve ours, we do not like
your careless manners, your free
doms, your powder and rouge, your
Indifference toward the old But we
do like your courage, your self con.
fdence, your honesty-and your in
telligence VIII you be true women?
Kind and wise, gracious and strong
Will you do this?
The womans' movement in America
occupied roughly one hundred years
It sought equality of opportunity for
women with men,-in personal de-
yelopment, in work, and in response
bility. 1t has so largely won these
things that we are able to review the
result. The woman's movement, end

THE AUTOIST PAYS

People who do not drive automo-
biles sometimes complain about the
enormous sums Of money spent Oh
highway Improvement. "The roads,
they say, "cost a lot of money ana
the car owners get most of the bene-
fit" In a measure that is true: but
it should not be forgotten that the
car owners pay for the roads 1t is
probable, indeed, that they more
than pay for the roads. The federal
government, for instance, reports
that it has paid out $264,782,216 an
account of federal aid highways, for
lest roads construction and expenses
Of administration. But this is not a
tax on the noncar owner because the
government has collected $3.50, 012,021
in taxes on autos, tires and ac-
cessories. This leaves more than 900
million dollars of automobile money
to be turned into the treasury foA
general purposes. In the, states, lice1
Sc fees, gasoline taxes and other cha4
ges-to say nothing of the property

CARRYING LONG LIFE TOO FAR

+. S. Afford, pr esident of the Brit
ish Institute Of Sanitary Engineers.
an organization formed, one may sup
pose, in the interest of good health
and long life, appears to think that
longevity may became a vice if in
dulged in too freely While many
persons in Great Britain are rejoic-
ing that in 1928 the death rate of the
nation was reduced to 11.3 per thous,
and inhabitants, Mr.. Afford express
es the opinion that this sort of thing
can be carried too far.
IT know many reasons he says,
"why we should help man to be
useful, or happy, but I know mont
why we should exert ourselves to
prolong his unproductive period" Ma
tons that are too greatly handicap
ped by the weight of old age in Mr..
Affords view, will go down before
other nations not so incumbered.
If the value Of human life is to be
computed on strict efficiency en-.
gineering basis and solely according
ito the human beings capacity to
produce, Mr.. Afford doubtless is right
in thinking that ones days should
not be permitted to be too long ia
the land of the diving. "Yet that ia
nous Englishman, S. Barring Could,
who died recently at an age just
short of 80, was active with voice and
pen almost ito the last. Other exam
pies Of useful old age might be sup
piled.
Many men are at their best after
middle age and SO far as is known
no nation is in peril because of the
smallness of its death rate The
danger hes in the other direction
and while that is so the humane and
scientific forces of the world will
continue their efforts to increase good
health and develop the longer life
that results from it.-Chicago Daily

'FRUGALITY AND INDUSTRY

Franklin was a many sided man,
approrimating more closely to the
ideal of universal genius than any
other man in our history, if not in
the history of the world. And in
every phase of his varied activities,
as counsellor at home, as diplomat
abroad, as moral philosopher, as
scientific investigator, as editor and
publisher lie made his great tai
ents not SO much of profit TO himself
as of substantial and extensive bene
fit to his fellow-men. 1t may we'll be,
however, that the greatest of all his
services was repeated enunciation,
in an almost infinite variety Of forms,
of the principle epigrammatica1ly ex-
pressed in his famous letter on the
passage Of the Stamp act: 'Frugality
and industry will go a long way to.
ward indemnifying u.s."
The need Of frugality and industry
is universal and perpetual. 1t is no
less real today than it was 161 years
ago. And now, no less than then
the practice of those positive and ag
'gressive vitues will mean not az
Quiescence in burdens and hardships
but their amelioration and the sures,
means of getting rid of them.
We must not misinterprdt the
terms. Frugality is not cheese par

inal sense of the word it is fruitful
