During the gloomy times Of recent
years, Wisconsin farmers held this
state up and prevented us from
feeling the deAation to the extent
that other states experienced it.
What Wisconsin needs is more
boosters. We have a wonderful
state, but we lack faith in it and
real understanding of the solid
foundation Of it's prosperity. Other
states which do not approach us IN
resources and opportunities make
up in noise what they lack IN sub
stance, and we let them get away
with that kind Of stuff.
We've got more to talk about in
Wisconsin, a hundred times over,
than these over-advertised boom
states. We don't do enough talk
ing about what we have. Consider
some Of these figures of our farm
products for 1925.
Tobacco, 44,980,000 pounds, %
per cent more than 1924; corn, 98,-
$4,000 bushels, 70 per cent increase;
oats, 124,354,OOO bushels, 20 per
cent ( increase; barley, 18,463,000
bushels, 36 per cent increase; pota-
toes, 23,332,000 bushels, a % per
cent decrease, with a substantial
increases in price; peas, $4,000
bushels, 81 per cent increase. These
are real reasons for prosperity. Add
TO them milk, butter and cheese
output, and the total value gives
Wisconsin basis for prosperity
that is exceeded by no state in the
union and approached by few.
Compare Wisconsin's farm in
come of S342,OOO,OOO, an increase of
Z per cent, with FIorida's farm
crop Of S94,000OO0, a decrease Of 2
per cent from last year, and judge
which state is on the sounder
basis

Maryiand Scorns U. s. Highway
Plan.

Maryland will not cooperate with a
United States Department Of Agriculture
board in designating certain Maryland
roads as United States highways. accord
ing to John N. Mackall, chairman of the
State Roads Commission.
The plan which this State has rejected,
Mr.. Macksll explains. was devised by a
joint board Of interstate highways ap-
pointed by the Department of Agriculture.
1t involves marking as national highways
certain Maryland roads which form links
Of the Interstate system.
Roads involved are the Washington bou-
levard, the road from Washington to
Frederick. the Defense highway from An
napolis to Washington. now nearing COM
pletion. and others.
His refusal to cooperate with the Federal
authorities is due to his conviction that
the plan has been dictated and dominated
by the Middle West and is Of greater ad-
vantage to that section than to other
sections. says the chairman Of the Mary
land Commission.
The whole numbering scheme of high
ways seems to have been dictated and
dominated by the Middle West for and in
the interest Of that section" Mr.. Mackall
said.
''As far as Maryland is concerned, the
whole highway designation is wrong in
principle and practice We will not agree
to cooperate in the numbering of Mary
land roads unless radical modification is
made in the plan as far as il concerns Mary
land. Road authorities Of Pennsylvania,
so am informed, are taking the same
position"
Mr. Mackall said that many roads Sc
lected as United States highways in the
Western part Of the country did not carry
10 per cent Of the traffic carried by Mary
land. Pennsylvania and New York roads
which were not considered in the plan.
He pointed out that the plans called for
only one road from New York to Cleveland,
while between St. Paul and Kansas City,
the same approximate distance, ten roads
have been named as United States high
ways
Mr.. Mackall said that there is ten times
as much traffic on the New York Cleveland
road as on any Of the ten Middle Western
roads in the same distance. s
IF proper road system is adopted.
bringing in Maryland roads which have
been ignored in the plan thus far" Mr..
Mackall said. this commission will CO.
operate with the United States Highway
Commission in the marking Of the roads.
In fact. II what we believe to be the proper
plan is adopted this commission expects
to supplement the road designation by
also numbering and marking every road
in the State system. This would be done
with different types Of numerals to prevent
confusion Of the State and interstate sys-

AS wise man makes hay while the sun
shines, so does a nation that loves peace,
justice and International harmony. try.
in time Of peace. to prevent another war.
Within our country and all over the world,
there are many great men trying to save
US from future wars. They are suggesting
League of Nations" World Court"
Disarmament" etc.
The Supreme Court OF the United States
has functiOned successfully and has set
tied disputes between the States Of the
United States. II has no force to carry
out its decisions against State other than
public opinion. Public opinion is the great
est of all forces. When public opinion is
educated up to the point Of declaring itself
against war, then a Supreme Court Of
Nations could function just as successfully
as our Supreme Court, and disputes could
be settled without going to war.
The great men who are trying to save
the world for peace and prosperity. need
the help of every man. woman and child,
and they especially need the cooperation
Of America.
II we think that there can be peace
among nations just as there is peace
among out States and among families. then
there will be a public opinion in favor of
peace, and war will be outlawed.
The courts are the machines that pro-
duce security and human harmony, and
fairly adjust conflicts Of rights. This is
true Of State and National courts, and 1t
can be true Of International Courts of Arbi-
tration. An International Court. the League
Of Nations and Disarmament 60 hand in
hand. Substitute public opinion and eco
nomic forces for armed force. and nation
will not dare disobey the decisions Of a
world court. Cut a nation off from the
rest Of the world. refuse to trade with her
and nation will soon bow to the decree
Of the International she will heed the cry
OF women and children, and respect the
right of civilization to progress, unham-
pered by a jealous. barbarous war.
The War Of 1912 cost US $12. 1874 900
the war OF 1916 cost us $l73,OOO,0O ;
the War Of 1851 cost $4.479. 220, 900
the War Of 1898 cost US 90l.726, 900 ;
the World War cost US $24,01O. 900, 900,
plus thousands and thousands of lives ;
and another war could very easily cost us
our civilization.
Those facts behoove US to make every
effort to make the world and humanity
safe from war and blessed by peace.
Talk about peace. Help to create a
popular demand for peace, and most Of all
see that every legislator especially
our President-make some real efforts In
the behalf Of our future peace and inter-
national cooperation.
