some have thought, and that certain
contractors control the situation In

lem, at least demonstrate to the legis-
'latorv that It would be wise to give
city commissioners or city councils
some latitude not only in paving mat
ters but in all public work.
Farmers Frequently criticise this
newspaper for placing the cost Of such
roads at $4,000 per mile and assert in a
wise way that the cost will be much
more. Here Is mile Of road one inch
thicker than 1t needs to be, four feet
wider than Is nece ssary, built for s1O,-
$50, with over $1,000 invested in tools
and equipment which would be avail
able for the next mile without addt-
tional investment. The T.-R. could
have estimated accurately the cost
Of this road before it was built,
knowing what such costs have been for
concrete pavements In our towns and
what such roads have cost in other
states, but some farmers must see
these things with their own eyes be-
fore they can believe that other people
know what they are talking about.

people discouraged the scheme by
stating that It would cost too much
ana would DO put in'swith1 the result
that It would rot before moro was put
in. The prophecy was q dismal failure.
The road was built at total cost OF
$10.750.72. It - sixteen feet wide, with
Iflve feet Of gravel on each side. has q
depth Of seven inches. all Of one mix.
The exact cost per square yard 10

the automobile tax. George Watts do
mated $500. Charles H. McNider $500,
o. Heddins $3.50, Northwestern Port
land Cement Company $500, and the
Lehigh Portland Cement Company
$500, making q total Of S2,25o that was
donated. There Is considerable more
than enough left in the treasury from
the automobile tax to take care Of the
remaining bills.

tn. Kind Of Meat tn. Butcher Eat.

The Kind Of Meat the Butcher Eats
In the November Woman's Home
Companion retail butcher writes an
article entitled Reducing the Meat
BILL" in which he shows how people
who, buy the high priced cuts don't get
the best meat. He says that some of
the cheapest meats are the best. He
takes an itemized weekly meat bill Of
$4.63 and shows, item by item, how
that bill can be reduced to 1921 just by
using cheaper cuts which he says are
better cuts. After dealing with the
various kind of steaks, in which. by the
way, he tells about the steak that the
butcher eats himself. ne goes on, as
follows. about roasts and chops:
"a roast of beef costing dollar or
dollar and half at the present time Is
not much: a hungry and healthy fam
lily will probably finish it in one meal.
You can still enjoy good roast beef,
and surely for less money, only buy
the right cut. From past observation
the writer has found that nine out of
ten customers ask for the first cut OF
the rib roast OF course they are the
most expensive cuts. The fifth. sixth
and shoulder ribs are hardly in de-
mand. and the butcher has hard time
selling them. These end ribs or Shout
der ribs of roast beef are not only con-
siderably cheaper to buy but are richer
in nourishment and food value. When
buyinx one of the three or four ribs OF
heef saw. for ins~nce, weighing five
pounds. you will find that you hardly
have sufficient meat left after 1t Is
carefully trimmed and the bone taken
out. The difference in price between
the frst cut on the rib and the last
two cuts is at least six cents per
pound: and when you ask for Shout
der rib roast, ask the butcher to In
aerf,a piece OF Sue. ~ .he ceete: CO The
roast. or. II he has time. TO lard It with
fhin pieces of fat. Another good piece
~ meat for roast beef Is tho top sirloin
which is not 80 cheap but 10 recon-
nended because It has no waste.
s.The next important item on the
meat bill; is chops. either lamb. pork or
veal chops. Lamb chops. however. are
the Kind mostly demanded. ana OF
conrre the demand u for loin and RIB
chor. the most expensive. There IL
IN s.me solution a. with steaks-buy
.houlder chops. they cost less and are
sweater. This Same principle again
anp1ies to pork chops. The shoulder
chnns are very sweet and tender. and
Ara hu.cher will sell them for less; but
very few people know about them"
