A Good Year Ahead;
StickerS Will Benefit.

The Herald cannot help but voice
the belief that 1925 will be an excel
lent year for everybody and that those
who have worked and waited patiently
without much reward will reap har-
vest.
The change toward prosperity be-
gan early in the fall, before election.
Demagogs and their followers claimed
the benefit was only temporary. They
said prosperity was Labeled out like
medicine out of bottle and that the
goodly dose would be withdrawn as
soon as Coolidge was in.
Happily the demagogs did not know
what they were talking about. Good
or i'll times are largely due to eco
nomic factors and not to manipula-
ton. In fact we are convinced that no
group or collection of groups is big
enough to sway the U. S. A, one way
or the other. Economic factors, supply
and demand, well being in our vari-
ous markets at home and abroad are
the factors which bring about good
times.
And prosperity is best served and
brought about by cooperation. The
day when men lifted themselves by
tearing others down is gone. In its
Mace is a general conviction that
working together for the good of all
benefits the individuals most. We al
so believe that she profits most who
serves best" and that is where the
stickers who have carried the water
from the we'll so faithfully during the
recent disappointing years will reap
their reward because they have stayed
on the lob and attended to business.
And others who through no fault of
their own other than poor judgment
will find times better too. Good times
are here and they will get better.
900
Highways and Railroads.
F. A. Cannon, executive secretary
of the Good Roads Association of this
state and known as 'the Big Bertha
of the Good Roads Movement" is au-
thority for the statement that Wiscon-
sins highway program is on the down
grade. It reached the peak in 1922 and
1929. fell off in 1924, and will decline
sharply again in 1925. The total state
federal aid and state aid highway ex-
nenditures in 1923 amounted to $22,-
400 600. In 1924 these expenditures
ran to S2O, 900, 900 and in 1925 they will
amount to $15,000,00O.
Years ago the railroads used to
tell us where to head in. The develop
ment of good roads, an economic and
not a political factor, has made mendi-
cants out of the railroads. Now they
go around begging for business with
their hats off. Poor railroads.

Half a dozen runs were chalked in
an attack launched by the Bengals
against Zachary in the third, un-
steady and ineffective hurting by
Jezebel being most to blame. Rift in
his support also was a factor. Bassler
led with a line single that Bluege
barely was able to tip with his glove
by leaping Whitehill walked, Haney
sacrificed and when O'Rourke also
drew a pass the sacks were fully
peopled.
Cobb Clears Bases.
Cobb cleared them with a drive to
the scoreboard in left center that
uetted two bases, after Forthergill
had popped foul. Hilmann then also
walked and then Goslin dropped
Blues biff for a, duplicate of Cobb's
crash, Tyrus and Heilmann Tailed
and Lu reached second. from where he
romped in on Tavener's triple to right
center. Tavener was left when
Bluege took BaSsler's roller.
Zachary got through the fourth un-
damaged and afte. he faded to let
Shirley pop for him in the fifth. Ogden
took up the hurting burden and
promptly was nicked for another pair
Of markers. Batting for Fothergill,
W1ngO greeted CuTlE Will d liipic
to the scoreboard. He reached the
pan when Cobb poled a three-baSger
into the circus seats in right field and
Tyrus followed him to the counting
block on Heilmann's safety to right.
For FIVE rounds the Griffmen were
helpless before Whitehill, the only
three to get on the runways being Joe
Harris and Rice through passes In the
second and third, respectively, while
McNeely was winged in the latter
frame. A two-base wild heave by
Haney after fielding McNeely's rap
was the entering wedge for the pair
OF runs attained by the Nationals In
the sixth, Goslin's double to right and
g. three base blow to left by Joe Har-
ris doing the work.
Bengals Rage i'm Sixth.
Ogden's winging of Haney paved
the way for another feline fiare-up In
tbe sixth. the four hits which followed
producing as many runs. The bingles,
ELI clean-cut resounding blows, were
doubles by Wingo and Tavener, and
singles by Heilmann and Blue.
After Ogden retired to let Johnson
hit into a double play for him in the
seventh, Kelley made his appearance
on the mound and Jared no better
than his predecessors. He walked
NVhitehill and after disposing of Han
ey and O'Rourke, tanning the Tor
rner. Wingo singled to center, scoring
whitehill, who had stolen. Wingo
then differed his way to the middle
cushion and Tailed with Cobb. who
had walked, on Heilmann's double
past BMege.
