NERO Of LAeoRl Goats
SUFFER N SEVERE WEATHER

johnnie Beard who has some 500 goats
on his ranch south of town has suffered
considerable loss on account of the
heavy snow that has fallen during the
past two weeks. The goats are of the
Angora breed and when they lie down in
the snow their long wool freezes with
the result that they cannot get up again
without assistance, says the Mesa Coun-
ty Mail.
Mr.. Beard has been sick for several
days with the grippe and has not been
able to give his herd the care that
should be rendered them. Mr. Beard
purchased the herd some two years ago
and has made quite success with the
venture.

Current EVENTS

Current Events
American farmers have begun to
figure the matter of roads a little DIFF
ferently than in former years. When
the good roads movement was stiIl in
its infancy, they used to ask themselves
How much will good roads cost mel, ;
Thanks to the intelligent propaganda of
the daily press and farm journals as
well as other agencies, the farmers are
now asking themselves, "How much are
bad roads costing mel"
According to government experts,
the cost of hauling ton of farm pro-
duce mile varies from IL cents in To-
calIties where fairly hard gravel roads
exist, to 35 cents per ton in parts of the
country where the roads are in bad con-
dition. On the other hand, in European
countries where hard roads prevail, the
cost is as low as 8 cents per ton per
mile.
The department of Agriculture has
estimated that the total haulage ex-
pense to American farmers for a YEAR
is approximately $500, 900, 900. And
every dollar comes from the farmers
pocket, for he is the one great producer
who cannot add the haulage expense to
his wares, for the price ne gets are on
a delivered basis.
If every farmer would take pencil
and paper, figure the amount in tons of
the produce and stock he markets In a
year; multiply it by the number Of m les
he must haul it to market; multiply me
total by %. which is about the average
haulage cost per ton per mile, and then
consider that he could save nearly half
of this amount every year if he had an
improved road all the way to market,
he would become an earnest good lad
worker.

~ AssocIArED pREss-

Washington, Jan. 21.-The advan-
tages of Mobile and New Orleans for
a big naval dry dock plant were pre-
scented before the house naval com
mittee today by Representatives
Oliver of Alabama, and Estopinal of
Louisiana.
MIR. Oliver told the committee Mo-
bile offered the best site of any port
on the gulf because of an excellent
labor market and its proximity to
Alabama's iron, coal and timber sup
ply.
When the present naval station was
established at New Orleans, Mr.. Es-
topinal told the committee, 1t was
because it was found that a craving
dock would be entirely practicable
there.
Rear Admiral Stanford concluded
his testimony today before the COM
mittee. He said the navy department
contemplated establishing sixteen
submarine bases, including one at
Pearl harbor. Submarines already
are basing at New Orleans. he said.
Representative Britten, Republican
of Illinois, told the committee that he
would oppose the 81 900, 900 appro-
priation for submarine bases unless
all the locations were first made
known.
In reply to question by Repre-
sentative Butler, Admiral Stanford
said the chain of submarine bases
would form a part of the coast de-
Tense system.
Representative Oliver asked the adj
mira1 if the installation of oil burning
equipment on the new battleships
would not have the effect of doing
away with some of the naval coaling
stations. The admiral replied that
he thought not until such time as
there was a decrease in the number
of coal burning vessels, and that he
knew of no cases Of vessels already
built which had shifted from coal
burning to oil burning equipment.

awarding John Byers, OF Hickory
Grove, $3.50 damages for mental an
guish arising from the failure of the
company to deliver on time coffin in
which to bury his wife.
The coffin was shipped in interstate
commerce and the attorneys contend
that the interstate commerce laws
do not provide recovery for mental
anguish, not connected with physical
injury. They also contend that con-
gress has not occupied the field of in
terstate commerce legislation and
that state legislation regarding re-
coveries for mental anguish suffered
is no longer applicable to interstate
