HOrseIess HIGHWAYS.

Horses have already disappeared
from the highways Of Wisconsin
and a traffic survey made by the
highway commission this summer
shows that horse drawn vehicles
make up only one per cent Of the
total highways traffic in the state.
In 1919 horse drawn vehicles
were 50 per cent Of the total num-
Der of vehicles using the roads. The
following year the percentage
dropped to AZ, then to 81 per cent
in 1921, 2.5 per cent in 1922, IL per
cent in 1923, with the drop this
year to one per cent.
The number of motorcycles are
diminishing nearly as rapidly as the
number Of horses. In 1919, 20 Of
the road traffic was by motorcycle
while this year motorcycles are
only 6 per cent Of the traffic count.

Golden Rule Traffic.

Waterloo is small city in jeff
erson county, Wisconsin, on state
highway 10. Down through its
main street passes a great deal Of
traffic each day all the going and
coming between the capital Of the
state and a wide area reaching east
ward to Milwaukee. Consequently
there is traffic problem. What
does Waterloo do?
At the outskirts of the little city
the motorist sees this sign, "Wel-
come" and then below that word,
Remember the Golden Rule" No
threats, no shall-nots about that
Just an appeal to him to treat this
community as he would want the
motorist of Waterloo to treat his
own town when the Waterloo mo-
torist passed through. An appeal
to remember that there are child
rem on the streets Of Waterloo, go
ing to and from school, as his own
chi dren perhaps are on the streets
Of another city. That there are
grownup pedestrians, too, and that
cross-town traffic has some rights.
Unconsciously the motorist slows
up. He doesn't know, perhaps,
whether there are motorcycle pa
trolmen in Waterloo or not. But
that doesn't enter into his calcula-
tions. He slows up because Of the
kindly gentle reminder that is the
basis Of all conduct between men,
without regard TO whether there is
danger of arrest. And as he re-
gains his speed when he reaches
the open country again the mem
DRY of that sign stays with him.
Perhaps if there was more of the
Golden Rule and less of the impera-
tive command in the handling of
traffic the highways and the streets
would be safer Milwaukee Jour
nal.

Why Not Punish Fire Offenders


Traffic departments Of cities and
states can pass traffic regulation
laws and ordinances until they are
black in the face in an effort to
curb automobile accidents. But so
long as they fail to do the one
most vital thing to protect the
travelling public, namely: require of
a driver an actual test as to his
competency to drive a machine, ac-
cidents will continue to increase.
And SO it is with fire prevention
work. A city or state will talk fire
prevention. 1t will spend thou
sands and hundreds of thousands
Of dollars buying fire fighting
equipment, maintaining fire depart
ments and state insurance depart
ments. But the one thing which
could be done at the least expense
to prevent fires, is entirely over
looked, namely, laws and ordinances
which prohibit the accumulation of
rubbish piles and fire hazards of
known character. IF such hazards
accumulate and are permitted to
remain and cause loss, why not.
fine the owner Just the same as an
automobile driver is fined for
breaking traffic laws?
If half the energy was expended
by fire prevention officials that is
expended by traffic officers, the saw
ing in life and property to the
American public would be many
times as great.

It All Depends.

Heard a man say the other day
that every shovel of gravel placed
on the highways made it just that
much more difficult for small town
merchants. He meant, Of course
that people would go over the good
roads to trade at the larger centers.
But we do not think that the small
towns are doomed providing their
business people have enterprise
enough to go out after trade. There
are many merchants who should be
snugly tucked away in the mauso-
leum. They are dead from the neck
up and spend their time bemoaning
their fates instead of going after
business. The live merchant has
but little to fear. Personality is
still powerful factor in the bust
ness world, and the merchant who
has personality, uses it and gets ac-
qualnted with the people in his ter
ritory of trade, has a big advantage
over the big town merchandizer
who never meets and knows the
people who spend their money with
him. Personal contact and personal
interest, plus honest goods at the
right price, will keep the bell on
the little old cash register jingling
merrily.- Stoughton Courier-Hub.

Is II Fair to Printers2


The Whole principle involved in
the subject of government owner
ship of industry is wrapped UP in
the government printing and sell
ing stamped envelopes, the only alb
solutely socialistic movement that
the government has gone into.
To the everlasting glory of the
American press and particularly
the rural press, it has stood solidly
as a matter Of principle and with
out price against all encroachments
of government which would tend
to break down or destroy American
ideals of freedom and the right Of
exercising Individual initiative and
enterprise. 1t has done this in the
face of government competition
and government ownership in the
printing industry and in spite of
the fact that a large percentage Of
stores, banks, doctors, lawyers, and
manufacturing institutions which
would fight such competition in
their own line of business, consis-
tently fail to patronize the print
ing offices of the publishers whom
they expect protection from when
necessity arises.
On orders under 10000 it is i'm
possible for printers to furnish en-
velopes with a printed return adj
dress at a price to compete with
the government. For amounts
over 10000, larger printers can pro-
duce printed envelopes for below
government figures.
It is the small publisher and
printer who is hurt worst by the
government competition. This is
the general rule in all lines of ac-
tivity when government ownership
is established. The more the gov
eminent gets into the field Of bust
ness, the more impossible it will be
come to eliminate the government
printing Of envelopes.
This problem affects not only the
printers Of this nation, but every
individual who ever hopes to dc
anything besides draw pay in an
official position.

What this country needs is not

miles to the gallon.
What this country needs is more
tractors and less detractors.
What this country needs isn't
more young men making speed, but
more men planting spuds.
What this country needs is more
paint on the old place and less

What this country needs isn't a

Nonresident Poachers.

A traveller about Wisconsin says
that poachers from several states
have joined with their kind in Wis
consin, staying wild life and des-
troying fish and game.
Residents at Phillips tell him,
says a writer to the Milwaukee
Journal, that cars slip in at night,
bearing Illinois and Minnesota IL
censes, and slip out again bearing
venison and other illegal kills"
There is no game warden in the
Phillips district, they say and
poachers have been quick to learn
about that. There are too few
game wardens in other districts
and resident poachers have been
quick to explain that, too to their
friends in Minnesota and Michigan.
So Wisconsin loses assets that
help to bring the $S0000000 tour
list business into the state, because
Wisconsin fails to protect. Wis
consin makes a closed season for
deer, yet cannot enforce that closed
season, even against nonresident
poachers Wisconsin makes four
day hunting seasons for upland
birds, yet cannot stop The illegal
shooting of those birds even by
poachers from Chicago or from
Michigan and Minnesota.
1t is not a happy situation for
Wisconsin. There should be plenty
of money to pay plenty Of wardens.
1t is money paid to the state by
sportsmen who take out hunting
licenses and pay for them; by COM
merciaI fishermen who pay the
state for the right to fish. There
fore it is not somebody's tax money
nor anything that will be a bur
den on the property owners, mer-
chants or business men. 1t is
money collected from outdoor folks
who want their resources protected.
During the last legislature these
same folks asked that proper
budget be made for the conserva-
ton commission so the commission
might employ enough game war
dens. The legislature passed such
budget and the governor vetoed
it. Then he prepared a budget of
his own. Now there arc not enough
wardens and the state is being
robbed.
What price must Wisconsin pay
for the governors whims about
conservation budgets and every
other effort in behalf of conserva-
ton?

Instinct Guides Birds.

"The unvarying direction of their
flights cannot be attributed to
leadership of the old birds, for
there seems to be little Of such
leadership. The young birds find
their way with the same unerring
precision as the old ones that have
made the fight several times. This
is the great mystery of bird migra-
ton. Science can merely offer the
exp anation that birds have an in
hcrited instinct or, call it sixth
sense, Of direction which serves
them as a perfectly working COM
pass in finding their way at any
length over land and ocean.
But, having given that explana-
ton" added DIR. Oberholser, 1T is
all as much mystery as ever, for
the human mind cannot compre-
bend such a sense of direction" =

Why DO Birds Migrate9

longer and longer and also fixed
and have remained fixed until now.
Migratory movements in South
America are less than in North
America, as there is much less land
in the southern hemisphere and not
nearly so many birds are in the re-
gions north Of the equator.
1T is instinct, doubtless said
DR.. Oberholser, inherited from the
long ago glacial days, which impels
birds to go northward, leaving che
warm climates which they had
sought in the fall. Their south
ward fight is influenced by weather
conditions and shortage of food
supply to some extent. But food
and weather do not explain why
they make flights Of many thousand
miles. That is a thing still unre-
yealed to science.
Another and greater mystery is
the well-established fact that birds
follow the same routes year after
year, century after century, winter
ing in, the same locality, returning
in the spring to raise their young
and to summer in the same north
ern areas.

Poker Has Definite
Standing In Turkey

One Turkish judge, who admits that
he plays poker, has decided that the
great American game is not gambling
if the stakes are not too high. Some
American courts hold otherwise. Six
Russians, one Of them woman, played
poker in a coffee shop to while the
hours on a warm Friday-Friday Is
the Mohammedan Sabbath, and on
that day all stores and Offices in Tur-
key are closed. Next morning they
were hailed into court. The police
man who summoned them said he did
not understand the game but had
been told that it was gambling. The
judge said he did understand it
though frequently his judgment was
at fault-and it was not always gam
bling. The prisoners, through an in
terpreter, said that in their game the
winner had got only glass Of tea or
a plate of cookies, at the expense of
the other five. Case dismissed!" said
the judge, with the usual admonition
to the police.
