Bows Cut Her Studies out.

Dear Miss Libbey: I ike your adj
vice, please. Am girl of 16 past, at
tend high school; interested in edu-
cation. Had no young company ex-
cept once. He took me home from a
neighbours place; is nice young man.
At present he attends college, a dis
lance away. He wrote a few times,
he is not deep in love with me, as l
am with him, and no other. He was
first noticed. had no company aft
er his departure. Girl friends think I
ought to have company. think am
too young. My mind ought to be on
sturies instead of boys. Am l too
young for company?

Your studies should be your great
est interest for the next couple of
years. Going with your girl friends
will be your enjoyment in leisure
hours. Boys should not take your
mind from your school studies, you
will lose nothing by waiting for com
pany till education is finished. Thai
way you will succeed with both.

A New York financier estimates
the cost Of the war is now around

devastation of countries, the whole

the unestimable loss of commerce.
These nations at war have doubled
their national debts, and the labor
of unborn generations has been
mortgaged to the fnanciers of the
world. Wealth producers must pay
the price. Those who dig and delve
and plow and sow are the pawns in
this game Of war. Almost from the
dawn of time, these have been the
packbearers, the doormats, the
slavelings and the despised of mon

The best friend Of the careful
buyer is the advertisement in the To-
cal paper.
1t is the arrow that points the
way.
II is foregone conclusion that
when a merchant goes to the expense
Of advertising certain goods that
those goods are well worth the price
and will stand up under the most
rigid inspection. If it we're other
wise the merchant would hardly be
calling attention to them. He
would simply resort to the shady
trick of working them Off on some
unsnspecting dupe.
Very few buyers have the time to
look all over town before making
their purchases. Life is too. short
for that.
They must have the goods, and
without unnecessary loss of time in
making their selections, and it is but
natural that they should turn to the
advertising pages of the local paper
for such advance information as
may be obtained before starting out
on their quest.
Thus it is that the merchant who
advertises his wares, and keeps his
best offering in the public eye has
advantage of the man who never ad-
vertises and draws business to his
store which otherwise might drift
into other places.
1t is good for the merchant and it
is good for the buyer, for it enables
the merchant to dispose of his goods
at reasonable profit and enables
the buyer to make the purchases he
desires to best advantage without
loss of time.
And if there is a special bargain
offered it enables the buyer to take
advantage of the opportunity in
stead of going to some other place
where a higher price would prevail.
Advertising has been reduced to
science, and those who benefit from
it are not found only in the camp of
the advertiser. The buyer shares
equally in the benefits through the
saving of time and the securing Of
the articles he desires at minimum
prices.
Keep your eye on the advertising
pages of this paper, for they will
contain many attractive offerings
from week to week.
Success comes to those who seek |
It and economical buying is one of
the surest means to that end.

GOVERNMENT AID FOR ROADS
Committee of Congress Expected to
Make Favorable Report on
Highways Measure.

The question of federal aid for good
roads looms large. A joint committee
of the senate and house, with Senator
Bourne, Oregon (the father of the
parcel post bilD chairman, is now in
vestigating the entire subject with
every likelihood of report being sub
mitted favorable to the general pro-
ject The main subject under inves-
tigation at present is the manner in
which federal aid when finally forth
coming shall be distributed, whether
to the states according to their popu-
lation, their area or the mileage OF
their highways. In recent magazine
article Senator Bourne expressed him
self as favorable to a plan which
shall combine all three of these ele-
ments, inasmuch as it would not be
fair to grant more aid to Rhode Island,
for instance, than to Iowa, although
the population of the former state is
much larger than that of the latter;
or more aid to Nevada, for instance,
than to Nebraska, although the former
state lie much larger in area than the
latter; or to some state which has
already solved the good roads prob
lem by thousands of miles of good
roads, leaving state with impossible
highways suffering because of lack Of
the necessary aid.
With federal and and state aid both
imminent, an impetus is being given
to road building greater than ever
before. The statement is made that
$500,O00 day is being spent for good
roads in this country, but the general
consensus of opinion is that until
within the last year or two results
commensurate with this immense ex-
penditure have not been secured.
There is a feeling all over the country
that road building must be made as
systematic and as scientific as rail-
road building, hence the movement
for state highway commission with
plenary powers and scientific super
vision by expert engineers. Congress
has already appropriated $500,000 to
be distributed $4,000 to each state,
for improvement of stretches of road
over which rural free deliveries
operate regularly. The results Of
this appropriation will go long way
to show whether or not the federal
government will be justified In max
ing still greater appropriations and in
going still more extensively into this
important subject. The secretary of
agriculture and the postmaster-gen-
eral have both been ordered to loan
their influence to the investigation, to
the end that actual facts may be Sc
cured 30 that road building may be
carried on in a practical manner.

Now Is The Time To Swat The Fly.
Uncle Sam is waging a relentless
war on the deadly housefly and in
a late bulletin prepared by the de-
partment of Agriculture, valuable
information is given OH the best
means of combating this deadly
pest. The most effective way of
exterminating the fly, according to
the bulletin, is to eradicate his
breeding places. The breeding
season of the fly begins early in
March and continues throughout
the spring and summer months.
All dirt should be removed from the
premises. stables cleaned and de-
caying vegetables destroyed.
The fly has rightly been called

The best poultry is the cheapest.
Select out the best and keep them

to improve the flock.
During the winter every effort
should be taken to give the fowls all
the sunlight possible. Let them
out whenever the weather will
permit.
A dry dust bath is very essential
to the health of the fowls during tn 9
winter. Arrange it in the corner of
the house,
Until the chickens are six weeks
old sweet milk can be used instead
of water, and the poultry will thrive
better.

that the hens will lay more eggs,
and the eggs will keep longer and
better. without roosters than with
them.

If the fowls are confined a good
plan of feeding them is to give them

as the care, but the better the breed
the better the feed. and the better
