federal Cooperation
For Good Roads,

Secretary Houston, of the De-
, partment OF agriculture, says that
the State and Federal Governments
should work together for highway
improvement in order that a large
proportion of the money annually
spent for road construction may
not be wasted.
In his own department the Off
CO of public roads has been demon
strating the value of proper road
building by tie construction of GER
tain object lesson roads, and the
forest service is carrying out his
idea of National and State CO.
operation in road building. The law
requires that ten per cent. of the
gross receipts from the National
forests shall be spent in the States
In which the forests are situated.
This money DIS expended for road
Improvement under d irect control
OF the secretary of agriculture.
The amount appropriated under
this act, based on the receipts of
the national forests for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1913, is
@234,638.68. From the 1912 re-
eeipts for this ten per cent road
Item. there is an additional 1884,
831.10. which is still available.
In administering the ten per
cent. road fund, forest officers char
eed with the actual plans and ex-
penditures in the neighborhood of
their forests have, in almost all
cases, secured an equal or a lar
ger cooperative fund from State
authorities for the building of GER
tain pieces of road.
With the money thus expended
many important roads are being
built or put in repair. One on the
Wyoming national forest, miles
long, makes accessible to farmers
a large body of timber and opens
up a region of great scenic beauty.
In northwestern Arizona, part of
the fund will be used in connection
with the LeFevre-Bright Angel
road, important because it makes
accessible to tourists the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado. In one
place, the Ocean to Ocean Highway
crosses the Apache national forest,
Arizona, and on this project the
forest service and the local au-
thorities co-operated enthusiastical-
ly. On the Florida national forest
in western Florida steel bridges
and graded roads have, under the
stimulus of this fund, taken the
place Of corduroy, bog and sand.
This Federal road fund is now
available dn all national forest
States of the west. Just as fast
as returns come in, the forestry Of
Hcials say, a similar fund will be-
come available in States in which
Eastern national forests are being
secured.

SOLO COW TO SEE SERIES.
Youth DispOses of Cow to Get
Money to 60 to New York.

New York, Oct. S.-Adolph Deu-
scher, sixteen, blue eyed and ap-
parently innocent, but decidedly
persistent youth, informed his mo-
Their some days ago that he pur-
posed to leave their farm at West
Liverpool, N. j., on the day of the
opening game of the world series
and come to New York.
'And I'm going to see that game,
too,' declared Adolph.
How will you see it," asked
his mother. ''You have no money,
and if you did, what would you
do in New York? You don't know
anything about the city. No, my
son, you will remain on the farm
and work that day as usual"
Next morning about dawn Mrs.
Deuscher happened to enter the
kitchen and came upon Adolph riff
ing a teapot in which the family
savings were kept. Adolph didn't
care to sit for meals that day. His
mothers punishment was of the
old-fashioned sort, and it was thor
ough.
Nothing daunted, Adolph was up
before dawn next morning. He
hitched up an old bay mare to a
spring wagon, chucked two dozen
young chickens into crate, and
was about to drive off to market,
still determined to get money for
the game, when again his mother
interfered.
Again there was a day of stand
ing for Adolph, but yesterday morn
ing the boy, still smarting from
the spankings, was up shortly aft
er the midnight hour. So quietly
did he steal from the house that
his mother did not hear him.
Arising at dawn, Mrs. Deuscher
called her son, but got no re-
spouse. The old mare was in the
barn and the chickens had not
been disturbed.
After sunrise Mrs. Deuscher went
to the pasture to let the bars
down for Belle, Jersey COW, to
go to the barn There was no
Belle in the pasture. She was
gone. Tracks showed that Belle
had been led from the pasture to
the pike.
Mrs. Deuscher quickly came to
the conclusion that Adolph was
planning to sell Belle to attend the
baseball game. Never was the old
bay mare harnessed faster than
Mrs. Deuscher harnessed her, and
she started down the pike on a
sallop. the woman lashing heron.

rs, they passed here at dawn.
Adolph said you didn't have further
use for Belle and he was going to
sell her for beef"
