Although the children had no previ.
Gus knowledge that a drill was to be
called the pupils of the Park street
and Coe primary schools Thursday
afternoon made enviable records in
leaving the buildings in fire drills,
which were witnessed by l.. G. Morgan
and R. B. Perigo, respectively chief
and treasurer of the Volunteer fire de-
partment.
The children at the two story Park
street structure left the building in a
record time of 35 seconds, while at the
Coe school, where the youngsters have
not had an opportunity for participa-
tion in drills and becoming thoroughly
acquainted with the building, which
was opened just two and half months
ago, the little tots were all safely out
side the building in SO 4econds.

FARM AGENTS suCcEssEuL

AMES, Iowa, Oct. 17.-What the
county agents Of Iowa did this year
to help increase the States food pro-
duction is indicated in the annual re-
port Of the State County Agent lead
err, ]. W. Coverdale at Iowa State
College, situated here.
The 20 Iowa county agents, includ-
ing n home demonstration agent,
reached 100000 people through their
various lines of work from July,
1916, to July, 1917. These agents
made $4,000 farm visits, conducted
$4,000 meetings and demonstrations,
which were attended by las, 900 pee
pie; had $4,000 calls; wrote 46, 900
letters and organized 103 district
projects toward the establishment of
better farming.
The work done by each agent the
past year shows a real record of ac-
complishment; an average of 81 days
in the field and 81 days in the office,
500 farm visits; 1875 calls; 2129 let
tiers and 252 meetings and demon
strations which reached more than
$4,000 persons, being to the credit
of each.
The most important war project
carried out has been the food con-
s%ervation campaign launched in May
by the agricultural extension depart
ment at Iowa State College as a war
emergency campaign. In the coun-
ties with county agents a total of
more than 700 demonstrations were
held and these reached some $4,000
people. Many of the agents report
this az the biggest project ever ac-
complished in their county.
Another important val emergency
activity was the formation of farm
labor bureaus. Every agent now has
labor bureaus organized in the coun-
ty to handle the farm labor situa-
ton. A complete summary of labor
placed is not yet available, but al
most every agent reports a steady call
for farm help with practically every
request filled.
In the volunteer food producers
campaign, through the cooperation
of the county agents, more than 5000
people have been enlisted in the or
ganized counties to do some phase
of food production work this year.

UNIFORM PLANS IN GRADING


THE State Highway Department
has sent out typical plans and speci-
fications, in accordance with Section
10 of the Halves Road Law, to encour-
age a uniform system of grading on
earth roads. The minimum radius
of curvature permitted for rounding
right-angle turns on State Roads is
also given, and approved methods of
hard-surfacing are suggested
The State Highway Department sec
ommends that wherever possible earth
roads should be graded 80 feet be-
tween bitches, with "a foot traffic
way, and a crown not to exceed Y
of an inch to the foot. A narrower
road, which will be approved in
rugged sections, is "a feet between
bitches, with a 20 foot traffic-way.
A slope three inches to the foot into
the bitches is recommended.
The department is frequently in re-
ceipt of complaints from different
sections that the roads are graded
too high in the center for safe trav-
ell. If road overseers will follow in
structions given and grade the roads
with a low crown, and provide proper
drainage from the side bitches, the
roads will be much safer, and it will
be less expensive to h~ard-surface
them in the future in accorance with
State and Federal plans.

RUSSIAN NEWSPAPER SELLS
FOR % CENTS COPY; YEARS
SUBSCRIPTION is $25.7;

The value and cheapness of news
paper service in Mexico is shown in
a copy of the Russian Daily News, for
which a charge of 80 copeks, about Is
to % cents in United States money,
is made.
The News is published in Petro-
grad, and consists of one sheet of pa
per, printed on both sides, 1914 to
1872 inches in size.
The News costs its subscribers five
rubles a month, which in our coin is
1928. A years subscription would
be $25.75.
News is boiled down to what the
mathematician would call the ninth
degree. From each of the fronts
there is a digest of the news, which
an American newspaper would feel
was a very short bulletin. Still on
effort is made to cover all points,
For instance, the news on the Russian
front on July 81 is covered in the fol-
lowing words;
Russian Western Front, July 81
Rifle firing and scouting"
News of War Condensed
The rews treated in other sections
of the European battle is just as much
boiled down. Here is the entire story
of the fighting, from the North Sea
to the German border:
French Front, July 30-During the
day there was fairly heavy artillery
firing in Belgium, on the sector Hurte-
bise, and on both banks of the Mouse.
The Germans bombarded all parts Of
the town of Reims. Two were killed
and one wounded. On the remainder
of the front the day was quiet
"a Serious Train Wreck" is re-
ported in some town in Russia with
an unpronouncable name. 1t takes
just thirty-six words to tell the sub
scribers all about the accidental
least all about it from the Russian
standpoint. This is what it has to
say about the smash on August 1:
A passenger train went off the line
on the run between Blakovieschensk
and Bielogerie. Five cars were
smashed and some passengers injur-
ed. The accident wa due to a portion
of the line having been washed
away.

BRICK FACTORY
IN THIS VALLEY
FOR YEAR 1917

Why not start move for brick
factory in Cache Valley? True, we
have two factories here now, but it
seems that there is something
wrong, or else the finishing brick for
most of the modern buildings erect
ed locally would not be shipped here
from outside sources.
We are told by Architect X. c..
Schaub, that Cache Valley affords
some of the best brick clay to be
found in the entire west. There are
thousands of dollars sent out of this
valley every year for brick. The
brick for the Hotel Logan, the brick
for the modern Shamhart-C Christian
sen building and for the Interurban
station was purchased from outside
souraces. Lets perform this work
at home. Lets provide for taking
care OF our own laboring class by
establishing large brick factory in
Cache during this new year of our
Lord, 1917.
