It's none too soon to begin to plan
on that silo for next fall. If you
have not a silo now you should be
planning to see if you couldn't make
good use of one this year.
A silo or two on every farm last
year would have meant the saving of

NA Gradually and insistently the
federal aid in good roads ques-

sion which will be embodied in legis-
lation adopted by the present congress,
is the comment OF chairman George
c. Diehl, of a. A. A. national good
roads board. in reference TO the multi
plicity Of highways measures which are
going through the nations legislative
mill in Washington, D. c.
The concern Of the motor-car owner
despite any assertion TO the contrary
and borne out by the exact facts, Is
the same as that of any other citizen.
Because Of greater opportunity Of OBJ

The so-called Shackleford bill which

now rests with the committee on agri-
culture, Of which senator Gore, of Okla
homa, is the chairman.
In recent address, senator Gore thus
commented upon the new roads ques-

cooperate with the state governments,
paying dollar for dollar, in the etablish-
ment and construction of a system of
national highways The expenditure
should be dollar for dollar in order to
safeguard against the pork barrel
"A federal revenue of S25.OOOOO0 a
year from inheritance would pay the
interest on 50O,000,00O of state
bonds. This amount judiciously and
jointly expended by the federal and
state governments would render pos
sible the early construction of an un-
equalled system of local and national
highways. With such a system of high
ways the self-propelled vehicle would

Remarkable Test of Car is

NJ l. Burkhead has broken the hoo

won't wear off and if you happen TO

about It.

to be a crime of the past and Justice
J. J. Murphy isn't kept very busy.
But now "Seventeen-fifty" wishes
that he had had no idle time on We'd

him into trouble. He wandered into the

pile of loose sand back of the court
house, about 20 feet in height, which no
car could climb. Burkhead would
rather make a wager than sell a new
car and he at once began to size up
the judge as a prospect"
Mr. Murphy said that the sand was
too fine and loose to enable any car to
climb the 20 percent grade from
standing start. Burkhead believed that
it could be done and finally the presid-
ing officer of the speed court offered
to buy a dinner if the trick could be
done.
That looked rather tame to Burkhead
and he haggled until he got the bet en-
larged to a dinner for the entire sales
force Of the Southern You'll appreci-

a driver, Burkhead consented to him
taking the wheel. The car was brought
to dead stop at the base Of the

and started the ascent The front
wheels buried themselves almost to
the hub and the judge pulled out
fresh cigar and had visions Of an
eight-cOurse feed. But the Haynes be-
gan TO demonstrate its pulling power
and the front wheels were driven
through the loose sand and the rear
wheels soon began to throw the sand
back on the spectators. Steadily the
car made the ascent to the tops OF the
mound.
quite a crowd had gathered to watch
the stunt and il was decided TO leave
the car on the top of the mound all day.
The judge occasionally glanced out OF
his window in the courthouse basement
and was reminded Of the dinner he had (
to buy at the Sheldon that night At
the dinner he insisted that he was n !

about cents less a pound than

HaddOck costs about 5 cents to 8
cents less a pound than halibut and
can be cooked in the same way. Both
cod and haddock are in season all the

When you buy bIuefish, get large
fish. A large one costs about cents
less a pound than a medium size one,
and you will have enough left over
for another meal Any fish left over
can be used to make fish cakes, or it
can be creamed and put in a dish and
baked.
Many persons go to a fish store
and buy the fillets of fish instead of
the whole fish. A fillet is nothing
more or less than the meat of the
fish stripped from the skeleton. Some
fish dealers have these iIIets all ready
on a platter for sale, bpt if you buy
them that way you will pay anywhere
from Is cents to 20 cents more
pound for them than if you bought
the entire fish and asked your fish
dealer to strip the fIlets off for you
and give you the trimmings.
