This manner of travel DESTROYS pixies
quite rapidly. Our years of great
prosperity has otherwise greatly in
creased heavy hauling and thus greatly
worn the roads. Could 1t be expected
that nv administration could make NJ
much showing in road work, wI'h this
admitted increase in wear without at
least as much money to use for ron1
purposes. Surely not. Any lack OF
road extension or repairing for the last
three years has been on account of in
sufficient money. The annual road funC
of Garrard county is something NOR,
than $50. 10000. My predecessor had
sENnt or allowed to be spent without
any warrant of law during his admins
tration all the money available for ROAD
uses during my first year. or in other
words 1t consumed all the first wears

In addition to this embarrassment II
had been provided Just before | assum-

additional burden upon the road fund

considered that he started his last term
with 50, 900. 10 in the county treasury
as shown by his own published report
of April 1910. You will recall another
difficulty We have had The State
Aid law was enacted IN 1914 which
furnished the county certain sum for
road work to be used only on turnpikes

quirement that the county furnish a

LONDON June 29.-The military cor
RESPONDENT of the Times gives long
detailed account of the present condi-
lions of the British forces in Mesopota-
mia showing complete contrast with
the revelations in the report on the
Mesopotamian expedition made public
Tuesday night in the Blue Book. The
correspondent says the army there now

India which still is the base of the ex-
petition. although control has been
transferred to the war office at London
Bombay is the base depot and is most
efficiently administered. Shipping and
cargoes are well and quickly handled
and hospital arrangements are very
good. Everything is efficiently organ
lied
India. the correspondent says, is now
doing more than she is receiving credit
for. Her government, recognizing the
slackness of the past, determined to do
all humanity possible. and an altogether
different spirit has arisen. The writer
saws events in Russia considerab bly, in

ing Is Well Under WAY.

Harvesting of the winter wheat crop

vest is about ten days late in Kansas,
eight or more in Tennessee. North

Cooperation between the Depart

been arranged SO as to have laborers
on the farms where the crop is ready
to be harvested.
Information prepared by the De-
partment of Agriculture as to locali-
ties where harvesting is expected to be
in progress from ten days to two
weeks later will enable the Depart
ment of Labor and state agencies to
anticipate labor needs and secure bet

The arrangement will be continued
throughout the season for harvesting
winter and spring wheat, oats and
other crops where more farm help may
be needed than local conditions can

PREPARING TO CARRY
OUT FOOD CONTROL ACT
Herbert c. Hoover Is Holding Con-
ferences With Producers and Dis
tributers in Anticipation.

In regard to the dispatches from
Chicago stating that the government
plans to take over an absolute control
of commercial transactions in wheat,
Herbert c. Hoover today gave out a
statement in which he expressed re-
gret that matters discussed in prelim-
mary conferences should be made
public
Many conferences have been held
with representatives of the food pro-
ducing and distributing industries. he
stated. with view to discussing with
representative men in various trades
the measures which might or might
not be adopted in public interest, If
and when action has been taken by
Congress"
They have taken place at this early
GATE in order that there might be no
delay in securing effective action by
the food administration" MIR. Hoover
said. 1T is obvious that at present
there is no plan that can be settled
by the food administration. and that
all discussions which have been neces
sary are of an entirely tentative order
and may be subject to radical change
at any time.
1.-THE great desire of the administra-
ton has been to develop measures with
advice from representative business
men, and in such way that would ac-
complish the detectives of the food adj
miniStration In curtailing speculation
and the other difficulties which have
grown up in trade, and that these
measures should be placed upon such n
basis that they would not damage the
business machinery of the country be-
yond the ready resumption of its nor
NAL functions at peace.
During these discussions the sub
1ects have been necessarily approached
from many angles. and as to which or
what method may be adopted cannot be
determined until the food administra-
ton has been set up by Congress, and
until adequate consideration has been
given to every complexion of the sub
ject."
