Asks Business Men
To Help Farmers

A call to the small town business
man of Wisconsin to help the far
mers of his locality to make more
money that his town may prosper
is contained in a statement receiv-
ed here from J. A. Walker, foun-
der of the Blue Valley Creamery
Institute, Chicago. Mr.. Walker is
widely known as the originator of
the Prosperity Cow Club plan, the
latest wrinkle in dairying that is
taking hold in many of the dairy
communities in this state.
''It has been customary for bus
mess men in small communities
through their chambers of COM
merce to seek out desirable indus
tries and offer them special in
ducements to locate in their town,
states Mr.. Walker. "That is as it
should be, for there can be no
doubt that industry is help to
community's prosperity. But why
go far afield to find these indus
tries when just outside their own
doors is an industry which would
insure the prosperity of their own.
/ am thinking Of that great body of
farmers in this immediate vicinity
with two, three or more cows. With
a little help from the local business
men in the way of increasing their
butterfat production through cor
rect feeding, the town will be
gamer, for the farmer will have
more money to spend With but
little effort the business men can
bring into town a buying force
equal to, if not above the factory
force that they may or may not be
able to get otherwise"

Urge $5,OOO,OOO
Fund for Britain

misunderstanding is as es-
sential to inter-Imperial trade as
it is to the individual advertiser,
and 1t is right that the British gov
eminent shall take an interest in
publicity and spend the taxpayers
money on it, declared Sir Charles
Higham, British advertising ex-
pert, in an address at the trade
dinner of the London Old Colony
Club on Should the British gov
eminent spent G1,O00,0O0 on Ad-
vertising'. Agents General of
five states within the Empire and
representative Of many important
business interests heard Sir Char
les.
The government has appropriate
ed G1,000,OO0 to stimulate the sale
of Empire produce within the EN-
pfre produce within the Empire.
Sir Charles believed the only way
any producer could successfully
advertise a commodity was in new
spapers and periodicals, and when
it came to national matter the
voice should be in the newspapers
of the world.
Quoting the case of India, which
spends 100000 a year on public
ity Tor the promotion Of its tea
trade, Sir Charles said the country
could spend &l,000,OOO on adver-
Using to enormous advantage.
A resolution in favor of the SOW

Many Ailments Cured
BY Diet of Grapes

A diet of grapes has taken its
place among the treatments rec
commended for various ailments.
The grape treatment is recommend
ed for abesity, various stomach
troubles, chronic bronchitis and
some chest affections. There are
several places in Europe to which
patients go during the grape sea
son for treatment. At first sight
the treatment would appear to be
an exceedingly attractive one:
since it consist merely in living
largely on these luscious fruits. In
practice, however, most people find
the reverse the case, for after q
time a constant diet of grapes pals
on the appetite, and people taking
the cure are frequently heard to

French Press Pictures U.S..
As ShyIock For Attempting
10 Collect World War Debt

Perhaps the finest "bon mot"
but the debt would be paid.
was that Of one Of wittiest of
French deputies, NJ. Bouteille, re
presenting the Disc Department.
He played on the fact that "la
faillite," in French, although pro-
nounced exactly as Americans
speak the name of La Fayette
means bankruptcy"
He turned around the phrase,
credited to General Pershing al
though that worthy has repeatedly
denied that. he ever thought of it
as he paid his visit to La Fayette's
tomb upon his arrival in France
in 1917-"La Fayette, we are
here"
M Bouteille repeats it: "la fail
tie, nous voici' bankruptcy we
are here"
But the greatest poke in French
public opinion is that America
asks for payment for the war
stocks. These stocks of the Am
erican army have formed a stand
ing joke for vaudeville comedians
and somehow or other Parisians
cannot get down to taking the
stocks seriously
When the American army went
home, fine business heads enroll
e as temporary officers, saw the
impossibility of carrying back all
the war material-railroad trains,
automobiles, food stuffs-wh:ch
Lad been shipped overseas. They
preached the FLEA Of selling it to
France for S4070tO,OOO payable in
ten years.
At that time q dollar was worth
five francs and the cost of the
stocks was two billion francs.
Since then the franc had dropped
in value and the same stocks are
charged today, eight billion francs.
But the stocks no longer exist.
Not a small percentage exist. Not
a small percentage were stolen
or rusted away, Cadillacs were sold
at 1000 francs each, strings of
motorcycles went for a song, that
food stuff which could not be sold
rotted in it's tins-all that re-
mains today is the stocks debt
which has quadruEled in six years.

Half Million Miles
OF Surfaced Roads

Washington, d. C.-The dileage
of surfaced roads in the United
States is nearing the 100000 mark
according to the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Some
weeks ago the State reports indi-
Gated that there were 12S,347 miles
of surfaced road on the State
systems at the end Of 1924 and
similar subsequent reports from
the states indicated that mileage
of surfaced county roads was 339,
55S making total of ACT ,905 miles.
While it is probable that the es-
innate of county roads is not so
accurate as that of the state
roads, the above figure is prob
ably not too large.
Since 1854 miles of road was
surfaced in 1924 by the states and
counties and it is known that pro-
gress has been equally as good in
1925, it is probable that the con-
struction season now drawing to a
close will increase the surfaced
mileage to more than $4,000. In
this estimate allowance was made
for a portion of the years work
being resurfacing or higher i'm
provement of roads previously re-
ported as surfaced.
In addition to surfaced roads a
considerable mileage has been
graed and drained according to
engineering standards. There was
236,294 miles of such road at the
end of 1924, and of this 1859
miles had been constructed during
that year. These figures indicate
that the improved road mileage of
all classes is not fare from 740,-
900.
The following table gives the
statds OF road improvement in the
various states at the end of 1924:

Untied Press Staff Correspondent
Paris-There is more than
grain Of wisdom in that old adage
that to lend a man money is to
lose a friend.
Never in all the years that Am
orleans have been coming to
France, have they been more well
come, but never have they been
open to such ridicuIe and criti-
ctsm in the public press as at
present.
The return Of NJ. Caillaux and
his party Of negotiators and the
opening of Parliament where one
OF the first big problems is that of
war debts have given the caustic
writer's and artists of the French
press ample material,
"Shylock" is the phrase most
frequently heard, and bearded
Uncle Sam boarding up his gold
bags is caricatured in all his
glory and ridicule. Not even the
shell-rimmad glasses, the Cox
ford bags" plus fours" and thick
brim straw hats Of American men
and the flat heels and swollen
calves of American women visit
ors escape the vitriol
And there are all sorts of sug
gestions as to how France can
pay America One senator act
ually suggested that France wipe
off this debt in payment Of the one
America has owed France since
Louis XVI and Of which nothing
more is ever heard. A deputy, M.
Srederic Brunei would carry the
whole debt situation before the
Permanent Court Of International
Justice at the Hague.
But an idea which might meet
with popular approval, even
though the experts would throw
I'D their hands in horror was
proposed by "L'Oeuvre," a Pari-
sian newspaper Of radical tenden-
cies. That paper suggests that
France pay America in kind. That

French wines, French liquors and
French pastry be set aside, ear
marked fer America Ito be con-
sumed in place Thus in forty

say that they come to hate the very
sight of them.
The patients generally begin
with a few large, luscious grapes

their meal. But during the four

home of Mr.. and Mrs. 0. Hatz, last
Friday.
j. L. Bonham presided as always,
loosening up the community's risi-
bilities by his sallies.
The evening began by the mass
singing of Southern Memories.
That, by the way, is all it will
mean for most of u.s. The only
time we go south is to get ice from
the lake. One does not care to
cherish memories of that.
However, Wisconsin's rigorous
climate is conducive to Iusty appe-
tites, and the news that the Fall
Dinner would be held at J. L. Bon
hams home on Friday, November
20, brought forth great applause.
Victims of diets will put their old
men of the Sea in the discard that
night.
There being no other business
the meeting was turned over to
Mrs. HAITI. At. these gatherings
the host and hostess furnish the en-
tertainment programme.
The programme at the HATES
was right good one.
Modesty had almost become a
vice with the Parkyiewites. The
local talent had been content to
hide it's light behind bushel, and
then dig in and hide both bushel
and light.
Judge then of the delighted sur
prise when quartette made up of
the host and hostess, Mrs. James
Kunce and Eugene Kunce set in to
amuse. ,.4
If encores mean anything they
succeeded.
One wonders if Ora Kunce's es-
say on the discovery Of America by
Columbus ought not to be the stan
dard style for histories. Most
historians gloat dolefully on war,
but devil the humor. Ora's essay
had so much of the latter that ev-
en- the local Englishman recognized
it.
Little Anna HAITI chose the
"Whistling of Birds" for her Vic
trola selection. That was once
when we visited in the south.
East and Middle West were con-
trasted in a talk by Eugene Kunce.
He brought back with him a giant
ear of corn and a sample of pecul-
lar soil from the estate of Mary
land.
Girls are nuisance, comedy
and a mystery to the average boy.
Lyle Weirich's reading Of the
young males philosophy was very
funny. i,
'Maude Muller Up to Date was
given by the host, after which the
quartette wound up the program
me.
After a social hour, and the gen
eral surrounding Of delicious ice
cream the meeting broke up.
Northern Memories hain't so bad,
even if magnolias, mocking birds
and firebugs hain't ramping a
round.
