WORK AROUND HOME GROUND
New Responsibility Placed on Every
Farmer by Improvement Of Rural
Roads and Highways.

The improvement Of rural highways
and the building Of good roads lay
new responsibility upon every farmer.
1t means that there will be greatly
increased amount of traffic passing by
his homestead; it will bring him more
closely in touch with the outside
world, including citizens from the i'm,
mediate neighborhood, from the sur
rounding counties and indeed from
many parts of other states.
The farmer and his home life are
now brought more directly to the at
tention of the general public. Under
these circumstances Fl. F. Major of the
Missouri college of agriculture sug-
gests that he take more pride in the
development of bis home grounds. "A
man is known by the company he
keeps" so the character of q man is
judged by his home life and the at
mosphere with which he surrounds
himself.
The Improvement of the grounds
does not necessarily imply spending
great sums or building an extensive
"Show Place" decorated with architec-
tural furnishings and formal gardens.
1t means treating the yard as an out
Of-door living room; as a part of the
house. 1t means, keeping it clean and
neat and comfortable and cheerful. It
should be decorated with fine trees,
beautiful Towering shrubs, and with
annual and perennial flowers that fill
the soul with gladness and make home
lovable spot surrounded by endear-
ing associations,

Road Drauqino Time,

Few farm tasks bring more pleas

who drags and to him who enjoys

rest helps them out.

the highway department., as this is
the only method possible to avoid omis-
sion Of important items.
'The amount Of traffic must be OBJ
tanned by traffic census. This should
be divided between passenger and
commercial vehicles and also between
motor-driven and hrose-drawn vehicles.
I'm New York state, where every
five or six miles of improved highway
Is under the control of patrolman, it
would be comparatively easy to obtain
such traffic census, as the patrolman
could have a certain day each month
to make count of these vehicles, at
comparatively no expense to the state.

In the treasury and the mileage that
should determine the type Of road,
but the amount it will cost to move a

That is the fundamental basis on
which road construction planning must
be founded, according to George @.
Diehl, chairman of the good roads

ISOLATION. He points out that it Is
the function of road to carry traffic
and that it should do so as cheaply
as possible.
"Cheaply" does not mean in the cost

extravaganza will deprive them.

Let US not be deceived. Itis up to
each ons-rich, poor, high or low-to
conserve the food supply. Food waste
this year will be nothing less than a
CRIME, and should be so recognized
and treated.
A few months ago, when gold was
flowing into our Golfers, ip yellow

our boundiess wealth. We com pared
ourselves to Midas-thst everything
we touched turned to gold. And now
we are in grave danger of finding our
selves in his predicament--our gold
useless because We cannot eat it,.
Economy in any line 10 praiseworthy

The PENALTY FOR GREED.

In these trying hours there may
arise few who will try to get rich
quick at the expense Of the nation and
its people. But it will be neither
profitable or wise for them to attemp,
anything Of the kind.
IL their business is national in its
scope the government will handle
them without gloves. The president
has so warned them.
II their business is local in its char.
acter, we, the people. will see that
they get their Just deserts.
There must be no price boosting,
no gouging, no angling for sudde n
wealth for few at the expense OF
misery for the many.
The man who can net be q patriot
from choice must have it thrust upon
him from necessity.
The people are mighty and their
will must prevail. 1t must be a
period of loyalty and live and let live.

WILL HUNGER COME?

We may put it down as self evident
fact that il the people of this country
persist, during the coming year, in
living on the same extravagant scale
OF former years, we as = nation will
strike the rocks.
Experts in the agricultural depart
ment have estimated that the actual
waste OF food in the United States is
500 900 600 annually. This il in ac-
dition to the enormous consumption
in excess OF what is really needed to
support life comfortably.
The International Institute OF Agri-
culture sends this solemn warning
from Rome: "The worlds food crop
is deficient and the situation 10 becom-
ing alarming"
Now We are doing much talking as
to the duty OF raising bumper e,ops,
Of increasing our production in every
way possible which is perfectly right.
But more than this is needed. We
must act as we'll as talk.
Heretofore the United States has al
ways had safe surplus Of foodstutis
from one harvest when the next was
garnered. This very fact, possibly,
has had more to do with fostering our
eItravagance than any thing else. We
have felt that our resources we're
bound Q and that we could never
come to want.
Now, however, that surplus has van
ished, and in its place we have only
gold. the most useless commodity in
the world unless it can be exchanged
for what we need. And at last we
must wake up and face the fact that
we are up against food shortage, and
gold cannot buy food where no food
exists.
The solution OF the food problem is
up to every man, women and child in
this country. 1t is useless to mince
words for fear of hurting some ones
AND WASTE MUST CEASE. 1t is
useless to undertake to- solace our
selves with the prospect of large in
crease in production. That of itself
will not relieve the situation il ex
travagance continues. ALL must
exert themselves to PRODUCE, and
ALL must exert themselves to SAVE.
You, our farmer friend, because
you have plenty and are raising plenty
more, have NO RIGHT to waste that
plenty or to throw it away in needless
extravaganza. Others will NEED it,
and it is their RIGHT that they should
be able to get it.
You, MIR. Rich Man, just because
you have plenty of money to pay for it,
have NO RIGHT to waste that
