was an address by Secretary Huston.
The secretary stated that the whole
scheme would be worked out on CO.
operative basis: that the government
would lend every assistance to the high
way commissions in the prosecution OF
the work and that the government should
expect in return the cooperation by the
states and that each state would fur
nish the strongest possible highway de-
partment and first-class supervision To-
cally to the end that all state and gov
eminent money should be honestly, wise
ly and efficiently expended. The secre-
tary also stated his opinion that any
state which accepted federal aid must &C.
cept every provision of the law and must
accept the aid for the whole period COW
cred by the law. VIZ: A period of five
years.
On the return trip Chairman Deering
and Engineer Sargent spent Thursday in
making an inspection of state highways
in Connecticut and Massachusetts, and
are firmly convinced that the work being
done by the Maine Highway Commission
compares favorahly with that in any OF
the other states.

impossible to get help temporarily for
either the seed time or the harvest.
might say that 1t is we'll nigh tmpos-
sible to get help for any season dur
ing the year on the farm. This con-
dition has made it imperative that
every available labor-saving device be
used and that the farmer operate only
so much as he can with his own help.
There are other conditions. too. that
tend to reduce food production which
can and ought to be changed" contin-
ued Commissioner Guptill. The pres
emit great boom of good roads-which is
worthy in itself and which everybody
approves, especially those who ride
over them-is now done during the
months Of May, June, July and Au-
gust and It takes from agricultural Ia
Dor thousands and thousands OF days
work direct from the farming class
which ought to be producing food. Tne
farmers work upon the highway not
only for the income that it gives them,
but also because they are interested In
the good-roads movement.
TT seems to me as if the roads could
be advanced even more than they are
now and not interfere with the actual
work of food production. The custom
should be established, or the example
set, of preparing the roadbed to be grav-
eled during the autumn and leaving 1t
until the late fall or winter before the
gravel is put on The following spring
the gravel could be put in place by the
road machine and the work entirely
completed. This would leave the agri-
cultural community free to work on
the farms during the crop-growlng
months of summer and the compensa-
ton for the work on the road would
come as sort Of gratuity, because
many farm teams are idle, or nearly so,
during the winter months.
If efficiency and economy were be-
ing consulted it seems to me that this
is the way this question should be
handled. At any rate. it would leave
a very large population of the agricul-
tural community at liberty, during the
summer months, to engage in some
kind of productive labor. and would
make for the prosperity of the agricul-
tural community in the state, not only
by having the crops to dispose OF but
would also accomplish the desired end
Of having acceptable roads.
This same tendency at the present
time prevails throughout the entire
length ind breadth of the nation and
is one of the principal causes for the
reduction Of the crop output that has
been so noticeable Of late years. The
United States as whole has ceased TO
be meat importing country. The
shipments in corn and wheat have
dropped materially in the last few
years and it seems as though there
was a mania for everyone to engage
in non-producing pursuits, all of which
tend to increase the cost of living"

How Alcohol 10 Made,
(American IJumbermanN

Most people when informed Of ths
fact that alcohol is being manufac.
tured from sawdust Immediately a..
sumo that the product is the so.called
wood alcohol" Of commerce. This 1.
not the case, and a statement Of tho
two processes of manufacture make,
the distinction clear. True wood or
emthyl alcohol is produced by the
destructive distillation of wood Cord.
wood is placed in a retort which Is
heated until the gases and liquids arc
driven off and only charcoal remains.
The liquid distillate is then divided
into components. one of which Is wood
alcohol. In the production Of ethyl
alcohol from sawdust the process at
certain stages is very similar to that
used with grain, molasses potatoes,
etc, and the product is exactly the
same. The sawdust is cooked with
dilute acid to produce sugars from the
wood substance. These sugars are
leached out and the liquor is ferment-
ed and distilled, producing grain Or
ethyl alcohol.

The reign Of the automobile in Maine
continues. The report from the bureau
of automobile registration, Harold P.
Davis chief, at the close of business at
noon Of Saturday, Aug. 10, showed
that the total money receipts had been
s341, 367.75 for the present year. an in-
crease Of $6s,377.75 over the total re-
ceipts of 1915, showing the wonderful
growth Of the use of the machines by
Maine people; also that in many lines
of business the automobile IS now be-
coming as necessary as the nayrack.
To provide for the large increase in
the automobile registration receipts,
479s more registrations were made.
GAS more operators licenses were is
sued. 73G more trucks and 23O more mo-
torcycles were licensed. Nineteen less
automobile dealers took out licenses
and four less motorcycles were licens-
ed. The comparison is better shown by
the following tables, which show the
total receipts and licenses issued for
all Of 1915 and up to date in 1916:
