vent the landing of large forces in France. But
by its foul methods of warfare it has already
sunk many millions Of tons of ships. Not only
has that world loss to be more than made up. but
we have to provide large further tonnage to
keep on sending soldiers abroad and sup
plying them adequately. We have the unprece-
dented job of not only feeding own army but
other armies and other populations also.
But the ships required for those purposes are
only part of what we need Later on those ships
will be necessary in bringing back our victorious
soldiers from Europe But at present and for
some time to come the movement is one of full
ships to Europe and fairly empty ones back.
The United States Is now the great reservoir
from which supplies must be drawn. The enor-
nous gain In our exports shows how other ma
tions are increasingly looking to to sustain
them.
Although our exports may occasionally decline.
still on the whole there is every probability of
their increasing, not only during the war but
after the war. Large areas of Europe are depop-
ulated and devastated. Many of the rich Meat
growing sections including almost all of the win
ter-wheat producing areas of Russia are in the
Germans possession. Conditions in Russia are
chaotic. The western European allies produced
in 1917 about 222,O0O0O0 bushels less than the an
aual pre-war average. There was a great drop
also in the wheat production of other European
countries. Argentina. Australia and India are
producing good crops But there is no shipping
to move IT properly.
While the war is on there is big enough de-
mand from our allies in Europe for materials of
all kinds We have to supply COAL steel. OIL cot
ton, lumber, rails, locomotives and great guam
tity of other products. After the war when the
job of rehabilitating Europe is put through, the
demand upon this country for raw and manufac-
tured material of all kinds will be enormous We
shall also have to replenish the depleted herds of
Europe from our own cattle. Ours, in fact, will
be the task of supplying most of the world
So it is clear that besides the millions of tons of
shipping urgently needed for the army and navy
we shall need great permanent merchant ma
rine. In 1914 only $166000OOO of the more than
$2,000,000000 of exports was carried in Ameri-
can vessels. Even great part of the cargo
and passenger ships using are seized enemy
vessels or requistioned or chartered allie. or
neutral vessels.
Not only on the Atlantic but on ail oceans we
must have an abundance of American ships.
Since the opening of the Panama canal, tile At
lantic and Pacific oceans have been linked by the
short route.

RESULTS FROM GOOD ROADS

After improving the main market

and one each in New York, Alabama,
Florida and Mississippi during a pc
Rod Of i've years, survey was made
Of the work and Its results. It was
found that the price Of tiiiable land
served by the roads increased from
one to three times the total cost of the
improvements, The total saving every
year In hauling costs due to this Inn
provement In the roads amounts to
$027, 400 for traffic Of about $780,
600 ton miles. The net saving ON the
hauling. after deducting the cost of
interest and principal for the improve
ments, averages 11.6 cents per ton mile.
After the roads were better, the aver.
age attendance of children in the pub
lie schools was rs per cent; before the
roads We're improved 1t was GO per
cent. Ten more children out of every
400 were enabled to get schooling as

says Indiana Farmers Guide. But
even such roads fall into disrepair, IL
given no attention. What is said to
be the worst stretch of highway in
Illinois was once a magnificent mac
adam road. Now 1t is almost impass-
able owing to the deep hollows and
ruts which it contains. Everyone gives
1t wide berth and it is ''black listed"
in all automobile guides. Concrete
and brick paving also must have over

Autoists have a saying that there
Is no better road than q dirt road
when it is dry. This is because, in
the case of a well-drained earth road,
passing vehicles smooth out the ruts
left after rain and iron it into a
sufficiently level surface to permit of
easy travelling. Here, again, 1t is a
case of working the roads," though
the work given is of an automatic
kind and rendered without thought of
the service performed. However, 1t
sometimes takes long time to smooth
out the roughness after a rain-espe-
cially II the soil is a heavy clay. And
usually the same makeshift attention
is given the earth road that is the
toofrequent lot Of macadam and
gravel.
In some townships the dirt roads
are dragged at rather infrequent in
tervals and IL rain comes right after
the dragging the effect of the latter

roads, year in and year out, are those
which are dragged whenever possible

Great heaps of coffee were spelling on the East

Pyrites, which was badly needed here, could not

These are but few examples of what ship

Besides the many millions of tons of shipping

The following equipment is needed
for butter making on the farm:
1. Milk Pails-They should be of the
type commonly known as covered-tOp,
should be heavily timed, and have all
seams flushed with solder so that they
can be cleaned easily.
2. Cream Separator-Any make is
satisfactory if it skins clean and can
be thoroughly cleaned and steriliZed.

Great fleets of ships have been or are being Gre

are being produced at a record pace. But to
carry out our vast necessary shipping program
with the fullest adequacy it is vital that the

GOOD
ROADS
ATTENTION GIVEN TO ROADS
Highways Must Be Given Some
Consideration.

Let no man be deluded into the
thought that such things as ''perma-
nent roads" are possible. All roads,
no matter what kind, require atten-
don and the more they receive the
better they are. A chief cause for
poor roads is the fact that great
proportion of the road work done the
country over is of so temporary and
make-shift an order. OF course, the
only real satisfactory road in all
weather is q hard road-either paved

sulated tank.
5. Churn-The barrel type of churn
is simple, inexpensive, easy to oper-
ate, and easily cleaned.

expensive. When making large guam

used.

thermometer should be used.

straining both the cream and butter
