Road
 Decided on at Meeting

Memphis, Tenn.,- April 6-Construction of the Memphis to Bristol highway, the Bankhead highway from Washington to Los Angeles, the Jefferson Davis high way the Muscle Shoals road and the Ozark trails highway was decided on by the delegates of organizations fostering the different activities at the closing ses- sion of the good roads meeting here to- day.
 Governor c. H. Brough of Arkansas was the principal speaker today. He outlined the future good roads system of his state. In commenting on the inter- national situation Governor Brough de- clared he believed every man in Arkansas stood solid behind President Wilson "ex- cept one,'' and he thought now he could be lined up.

SIXTY GERMANS
 ARE ARRESTED ON
 FEDERAL ORDERS

as quasi officials of the German govern- ment. Many of them, it Is alleged, were instrumentalities through which Captains Boy-Ed and Won Papen carried their &C., tivities in this country against the al- lies. few of the number, it was said, could properly be classed as spies.
 The department is prepared to contest to the highest court any effort made to obtain the liberation under bond or ha- beas corpus proceedings, of the men or dered arrested today. The manner in which the arrests were ordered made-by United States marshals forthwith, with out reference to the courts-is a purely wartime step, unauthorized in time of peace and there are but two precedents on the statute books to guide legal au- thorities in the fight in the courts which is expected to follow.
 1872 PRECEDENT
 These precedents concern one man, Charles Lockngton, a British subject, re- siding in Philadelphia at the outbreak of the war of 1872. In conformity with President Madisons proclamation, requir- ing all alien enemies living within 40 miles of tidewater to report their presence to the nearest United States marshal, Lock- ington reported to the marshal at Phil adelphia, and was removed to Reading, where he was given limited liberty under parole. Later he was found at large in Philadelphia, and appealed to the courts Reading.
 His case came up first in the Pennsyi- vania courts and later before Justice Washington sustained the Presidents ac- tiorl under the act of 179S In an opinion, in which he said:
 'The power of the President under the first section of the law to establish by his proclamation or other public acts rules and regulations for experimenting, restraining, securing and removing alien enemies, under the circumstances stated in the section appears to me to be as unlimited as the legislature could make it."
 tThe case was never carried to the supreme court of the United States and tho ancient law has, therefore, never been passed upon by the highest court of rec- ord.''

CONGRESSMAN Cyrus A. Sulloway OF

night in Washington, was represent
alive of the old school Of statesmen
who work at the job. Congressman
sideways constituents comprise a
great number Of mill operatives In the
city of Manchester, n. H., who were so
disturbed by the prevailing high cost
of food that they were flooding their
representative with appeals for legls-
lation that would better their condition
before the adjournment of Congress.
Mr. Subway conceived it to be the
duty of a congressman to answer every
letter that is received, and made 1t
point to keep in close touch with his
friends at home. Although he was "

strenuous three months of the last ses-
sion. and having left for the South Tor

fed is 300 per cent. higher COCO farm
hands cost $35 to $50 a month !or .
hour days, not II. Only mix with
high per cent. butter fat OF TO per
cent. is accepted in glass jars OF stand
ard measure. With all OF these ADDED
costs and the large per cent OF added
food costs with sanitary treatment and
good service. less than 80 per cent. mas
been added to the price In rs years.
The man of old conditions got a
meagre income Where does the man OF
today get off. He has to make up the
deficit in his income by raising Vege-
tables, trading horses or any old way.
Now responsible for this condition Is
the failure ON the part of the consum-
er to appreciate what he is getting Tor
his money, and he never can appreciate
it until he knows the relative value OF
it's food properties and the comparative
costs. The food value of the Irish pO-
tato was never appreciated so fully as
this last winter and yet there Is com
paratively little real food value in the
potato 1t is largely an imaginary
value. 1t is more of a filler than for its
nutritive value.
Still they buy and eat potatoes just
the same. When the dairyman says, Il
have got to get better prices" the con-
sumner goes into the air, Il won't stand
it, will cut it cut" and SO he does. He
takes pint of milk a day instead Of a
quart, or half pint Of cream instead
of more. He sacrifices the most life
giving, and sustaining food OH MS
table and SPENDS more for sugar, pota-
toes. meats, and he rObs his stomach
and pocketbook because he lacks the
mind training to guide him Alright. He
worries about freight embargoes and
rising prices and fails to use the
means at hand What are the COM
paratiye values Of milk with other
foods? In the first place, life and
growth are developed in the child on
milk reduced SO per cent. with water
and a very large per cent. of animal
life is sustained alone on milk to an
advanced stage of development.
Let the person who thinks he mus,
have potatoes at SO a bushel and can
get along without milk at SC quart
consider this comparison: One pound
of potatoes at the above price per
bushel costs 4 1-2 C. One pound
of potatoes contains the following food
value, protean 10, fat OF, carbohy-
drates So, animal matter .04. One
pound Of milk contains protean .25, fat
81, carbohydrates SO and animal mat
ter .05. According to the above apaiy-
sis and prices. one pound Of milk which
costs about the same as one pound of
potatoes, from it's food value would be
equal to several pounds of potatoes.
This comparison is similar in many
other kinds Of food stuff. Why add I'M
necessarily to your costs Of food sup
ply? Use the means at hand. Maine
should be a great dairy state. Why
discriminate against the products OF
Your own state and import from other
sections?
The free use Of milk cream and
butter is one of the most inexpensive
food products that is used AS the
dairyman's costs increase and he is
forced to advance his prices do not
think he is robbine you. He is giving
you more for your money than any
other man you deal with
