CONGRESS TO BE ASKED
FOR WAR BOND ISSUE
Scheme for Financing of Militia Ac
tivities Along Border Will be
Prepared in Fortnight.

Within two weeks Congress will be
asked to authorize an issue of war bonds
to finance military activities growing out
OF the Mexican situation. Majority
Leader KitChin, of the House, yesterday
declared that fifteen days would suffice
to clear up the Mexican situation and al
low Congress to determine approximately
how much money will be needed for the
Mexican campaign during the remainder
of the year. Authorization for the sale
of bonds to that amount will then be
put through the House and Senate.
The bonds to be authorized" said
Representative Kitchin, will simply
cover the expenses of the Mexican crisis
which have so far been incurred or which
will be incurred hereafter. The resOlu-
ton will authorize the President to issue
bonds for this specific purpose and will
place a limit on the amount to be issued,
which will be fixed when We are able
to estimate the probable cost Of the mill
tary operations. The Treasury is now in
the best condition that It has been IN
for eight years, and the finances of the
government, aided by an issue of war
bonds, will be well able to take care of
themselves"

entire town turned out in a parade of
patriotic and picturesque costumes.
Throughout the afternoon a basket
picnic was held on the campus near the

AVAILABLE LANDS WILL BE
OPEN FOR SETTLEMENT
1o,000 Acres Of State Swamp Lands
IN St. Louis, Lake and Cook
Counties.

All remaining state swamp lands
in St. Louis, Lake and Cook counties,
comprising substantially 10000 acres
will be open for settlement by the
state during 1917.
This action is made possible thru
the action of the Duluth & Iron
Range railroad, which company Mon.
day filed it's last selection list for s..
448.9 acres, completing it's grant OF
606,72o acres awarded by the state
when it constructed it's line fromDu.
luth to Ely. The filing of this list
with the patent that will follow
from the state in due time is of
tremendous Importance to St. Louis
Lake and Cook counties. About q
year ago the company released about
100000 acres so that it might be ap-
praised and sold to settlers and it's
aston today released another 100000
acres.
On March IL, 1860, congress gran.
ted to the State of Minnesota, all
swamp lands within it's borders. Ur
to date there has been patented tc
the state 4,711,278. .18 acres.
Of this acreage 2,892,141 80 acres
were given to railroad companies, in
consideration of the construction OF
railroads, title to which of course
went to the railroad companies
James ]. Hill demonstrated that nc
land grant was necessary. Without
It he became the greatest railroad
builder of the continent.
Lands, timber and iron ore in fabu.
'ous sums were given away in Mime
sofa.
Under the act which granted these
lands to the Duluth & Iron Range
Railroad Company the company hac
the right to select certain of its
lands anywhere within these coun
ties at any time it pleased, until th<
surveys of the government shoule
have been made of every township
within these counties.
| The result of the filing of the fina
list will therefore be that all swamp
lands in st: houis> Lake and Cool
counties can now be sold by tht
state and placed upon the tax rolls
of these counties.
This is the last selection made o1
any swamp lands granted by the
state of Minnesota to thirteen diff
ferent railroad companies, aggregat.
ing 2,892,141 80 acres.

LOWER HAULING COSTS
& ssss1l y,
Improved Roeydl. Effect Gross s.v-
ing Of $e27,4oe in Eight Select
I'd 'count;e.

Improvement of roads in eight Sc
lected counties in different sections
of the United States resulted, in the
aggregate, in a total gross annual
saving in hauling costs of $627, 400,
according to recent economic studies
made by the Office of Public Roads
and Rural Engineering by the de-
partment. The cost of haulage for
the group of counties is lower since
the roads were improved, it was
found, even when charges are made
in the comparative computation for
interest on bonds and annual main
tenance costs. The results of the
studies, which extended from 1905 TO
1915, and which included other ef-
fects of improved highways than
those on traffic, are shown in De-
partment Bulletin 1913, recently pub
lished.
The eight counties in which the
studies were made are Spotsylvania,
Dinwiddie, Lee, and Wise Counties,
Va; Franklin County, N. Y; Dallas
County, Ala; Lauderdale County,
Miss; and Manatee County, Fla.
These counties were selected because
they had just issued bonds for road
improvement when it was decided to
make the studies, and it would there
fore be possible to cover the road
improvements from outset to COM
pletion.
The average gross annual saving in
hauling costs due to the road i'm
provements in these eight counties
was found to be l7.9 cents per ton
mile, while the net saving was found
to be 11.6 The Investigators point
out in the bulletin that an actual
cash saving to the amount indicated
is not effected, but that this is the
indicated saving when the time of
workers and use of draft animals
! and equipment are given cash values
at the rates prevailing in the several
communities.
! Effects by Counties
In spotsylvania County, Va, a
bond issue, of sl73,0OO was provided
and 7e miles of road were improved.
The average loads hauled in a two
horse wagon increased materially af-
ter the roads were improved, and
ton-mile costs dropped from so cents
to 1877 cents. This meant gross
ton-mile saving of16.3 cents, or
net ton-mile saving, when charges
were made for interest on bonds and
maintenance of roads, Of 14.9 cents.
The gross total annual saving in the
county is, therefore, approximately
$150,000: and when deductions are
made for interest and maintenance
costs, the annual indicated net saw
ing is $13O,670.
In Dinwiddie County, Va, bond
issue of $105,000 was provided, and
the State contributed, in addition,
nearly $4,000 worth of convict la
Dor. The improved road mileage at
the completion Of the study was 101
miles. Average loads for a two-horse
; wagon increased from 1900 to about
5000 pounds, and ton-mile costs de-
creased from 80 cents to Is cents.
The net ton-mile saving is 1877 cents,
and the indicated gross saving for
the county is $124,97O.

DEVELOPING initiative
Boy and Girl Members Of Agrioult.
ural Clubs Master Physical Diff
ouIties and Business Problems.

8N1S III I'LL SecClOnS OF the country
is being developed through the ju-
venile agricultural club work foster
ed by the department in cooperation
with the State agricultural colleges,
and how interest in the work is
spreading among adults as we'll as
children, is brought out by reports
received by the States Relations Ser
vice of the department.
Three school boys in the state of
Washington who were given the use
of an acre of land for five years in
return for clearing not only made a
profit from a potato crop the first
year, but with the logs from the
clearing built a substantial club
house on the school grounds and fur
nished it. School luncheons are now
served in this building by girl club
members.
Four girls in another portion of
the same state, having only rocky
land available on which to grow their
gardens. removed four wagonloads of
stones and now have thriving plats.
From both West Virginia and Ida
no came reports of the development
of business ability in young boys. In
West Virginia a small boy began
operations with one hen. With the
proceeds from the sale of chickens
raised he bought a pig. After fatten-
ing the pig he sold it and bought a
calf, which he raised to a COW. With
the proceeds from the sale of the
cow the boy has taken up the regu-
lar business Of cattle raising on a
small scale. In Idaho young club
member, through raising few pigs
and calves, obtained enough capital
to engage in the regular business of
buying and selling hides.
Girl club members in the State of
Washington have shown their busi-
ness ability by taking orders from
nearby lumber camps to furnish
canned goods from their home-can-
ming club supply.
T The civic value Of the, club work
has recently been recognized by the
mayor Of Glenwood Springs, Colo.,
who gave free water for irrigating
garden plats on vacant city lots. In
Wyoming woman serving without
compensation as local leader in club
work rode 210 miles on horseback to
receive additional instruction in the
methods of club leadership for girls.
In the Southern States, where this
work has been in progress for several
years, hundreds of girls have made
their own money to buy canning out
fits, with which they can not only
can their own products but they also
can for their neighbors on shares.
Fully as many boys have saved
enough from their crops to buy pigs,
calves, colts, lambs, and chickens and
are now prospering in the live stock
business. Many students are taking
agriculture and home economics in
the colleges because of their own ac-
tivity and thrift as members of these
clubs.
