TRUNK LINE NOTES
Work Thru Division Most Advanced
In Years.-New Projects.

Work in the division, both conStruc-
ton and maintenance, if further adj
vanced than it has been at this time
for several years. The maintenance
on all of the roads is very much bet
ter and the condition of the highways
is much better than they ever have
been due to the weather, as the dry
weather has given the patrolman a
chance to get the surface of his road
smooth and the bitches and drainage
structures clean. All of the counties
are working their day labor forces to
the maximum and considerable con-
struction has already been completed
in all of the counties.
On the federal aid project between
Lancaster and Fennimore about four
miles of the grading is completed and
several of the culverts are completed
and the bridge work well under way.
1t is expected that surfacing will COM
mence within the next week on this
job.
On the federal project east of Graf
lot, on S. T. H. No. 20, the grading has
been completed and it is expected that
the surfacing on this project will be
commenced within the next week.
| 1t is expected that within the next
month contracts will be let for grading
and surfacing on S. T. H. No 20, at
So. Wayne. When this project is COM
pleted, No. 20 will be a well surfacted
| highway for its entire distance across
I the state.
| Bids will be taken this week on the
Wauzeka-B oscobel road, on S. t. H
| No so in Crawford county When this
/ project is completed, S. T. H. No. 60
will be an allweather road between
Madison and Pra. du Chen as this
project will eliminate the worst hill or
| S. T. H No. 60.
! Bids will taken this week for the
bridge and drainage structures on the
/ Spring Green-Arena road for two miles
just east of the Spring Green bridge,
which includes the improvement by
changing the alignment and grades
over Tower Hill. 1t is expected to let
! the grading on this project near the
| point of the road where this project is
located. When this project is COM
pleted there will be a surfaced road on
No. Al between ilwaukee and Richland
Center and this project will eliminate
the only two miles of heavy going be-
tween Milwaukee and Richland Cen
ter.
1t is expected that plans will be
completed for the Boaz-Sylvan road
on No. Al in Richland county, about
the middle of June The contract for
this work will be let shortly after the
plans are completed, probably about
the first of July.

Enforce to Limit
And Change Law.

President Coolidge's proposal to en-
force the law to the limit is met with
approval by wet and dry alike. He
says "war on liquor to the limit, using
the army, navy, department of JUS
tice, prohibition unit and volunteers"
And he adds that in the event of fail
ure after every resource has been ex-
hausted modification of the law will
be considered.
Our country is nowhere near as
democratic as some others where a
referendum can be had with ease.
With an almost infexible system we
cannot stop something once it has been
set in motion. That's why Canada, af-
ter experiment, has gone back to more
liberality in dealing with the drink
problem while we still founder in the
slough of national prohibition not
backed up by proper enforcement. A
condition infinitely worse than Can
ada's.

EDITORIAL
Newspaper As a
Cannon Carrier.


Common Carrier.
A newspaper is a common carrier OF
publicity just as railroad is COM
mon carrier of freight or passengers,
a telegraph company must convey
messages and telephone company
must take phone calls.
Tt would be just as absurd Tor
newspaper to refuse advertising hano-
ed if las long as the advertising had
no Objectionable or libelous features)
as for postoffice to refuse to mall
letter because the postmaster and the
patron belonged to different polltlcal
narties or had different creeds.
This fact is recognized by the gov
eminent in setting forth privileges I'M
der which newspapers operate. For
instance, a newspaper as exempllIy-
ing a free press Zone or the corhei
stones of a democratic government
is given what amounts to mail sup,
sidy We get free distribution on all
rural routes and postoH1ceS Wllnoul
local carriers in the county. If it were
not for these privileges SUBSCRIPTIONS
would be much higher. In return Ior
these privileges the courts nave neid
that the paper must handle puDllclty
matter for which pay is offered at the
PAPERS regular advertising rates. PuD-
fishers who bar some and take others
are violating their privilege as COM
mon carriers and liable for prosecu-
ton if they only knew it. And they
are partial in their dealings.
This is no defense but an explana-
ton. We may coincide with custom
er's views or we may differ just as a
storekeeper, bank or business man OF
any kind may differ in opinion with
the customer who buys his wares or
patronizes him. To say what we VIII
take or refuse in way of advertising
as long as the customer pays Tor II
and is responsible for it would be just
as absurd as the stand of a merchant
who refused to sell to customer be-
cause he belonged to different
church, political party or lodge.
The Herald's personal views are to
be found in it's editorial columns where
they belong. We make no pretense of
regulating the opinions of our adver-
Using customers nor do we assume any
sponsorship for them. AS common
carrier of publicity and information
we are here to serve all the people of
every class in an impartial manner.
People of any class who are fair and
reasonable see this. The narrow kind
do not.

Lotteries Don't Go.

A couple of weeks ago two very
pleasant young men called at the Her.
aid office with scheme for trade
boosting which involved the use of
tickets issued with each cash sale.
These tickets of course carried num-
Der and the collection of numbers
would be used in a drawing for var
ious prizes.
The editor informed the young men
that the postal laws were rigid and
uncompromising in regard to lotteries
or drawings of any kind and that as
far as this office was concerned we
could have nothing to do with the
scheme.
The young men cited other papers
which had taken chance and gotten
away with it. Our natural reply was
that if other publishers wished to
monkey with Uncle Sam that was
their business. We would run our pap
er according to postal regulations.
The point is this: In case of pub
fishing or advertising a lottery or
prize drawing scheme a violation of
the law takes place. This is punish
able with the withdrawal of the news
papers right to use the mails. The
whole burden of punishment falls, not
on the scheme promoters, but on the
hapless publisher. With thousands of
dollars invested he would be a fool
to take a chance.

Danger-BeWare!

For one hundred years and more the
United States and Canada have lived
in peaceful amity without a soldier, a
gunboat or cannon on boundary
5000 miles long. The world marvels at
this record.
While the United States has an in
dubitable right to protect it's borders
from rum runners, a proposal to put
an armed fleet on the Great Lakes
should be frowned upon. Even prohi-
bition law enforcement is not worth
breaking our traditional record of
friendship with the Dominion of Can
ada or causing war with England.

Making Good Trout Streams.

An exchange which takes a keen in
terest in conservation matters pro-
poses that interviewer mattresses of
twigs and willows, weighted with stone
and sunk in the trout streams, would
afford a harbor of refuge for the
young trout following planting and
until they are able to care for them
selves. Another good suggestion is to
dynamite deep holes in the creek bot
toms. These holes would afford good
homes for the adult trout and place
of refuge when the more shallow parts
of the stream are frozen solid to the
bottom. Very good points, both.

A Mr. Fochinato arrived here yester-
day from Canton, Mo-, to take charge
of the city band during the summer
months. Mr.. Fortunate, already here,
will remain in charge of the school
band until after the state contest at
Viroqua in June. Just what arrange
ment can be made between the school
board and the city over uniting on a
band leader, has not been worked out
but probably will be by the conclu-
sion of the summer concerts and be-
fore school opens.
Geo. O. Sykes has recently COM

The penguin is the most interesting
bird about which 1 ever have read.
He has sort of a stub wing, re-
sembling the wing of a chicken after
all tho feathers have been plucked.
This is used, not in flying, but in
swimming. The penguin lives on fsh
and must catch them. He can swim
so swiftly that he is able to leap
out of the water like a salmon. In
fact, this is a necessary trick. for In
order to get out of the water onto
the ice he must leap into the air and
land on the ice cake.
On the windswept rocks the eggs
are laid. There is no nest; the eggs
are simply deposited in little hollows
and the mother -and father bird take
turns keeping them warm.
The emperor penguin of the Antarc-
tic Is very interesting. This bird has
never set foot on land. All he knows
is ice and snow. The mother bird
lays an egg, then picks ii up and
tucks it among her feathers, where
she keeps it warm until 1t is incu-
bated.
Sounds like real hardship, doesn't
It? But the penguins undoubtedly
enjoy it. They are fitted for the cold
with their. heavy covering of feath-
ers and layer of fat underneath the
skin.
Still, who wants to be penguin?
