RIGHT SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS
it Should Include Everything From Expensive Concrete to Minor
 Dirt Wagon Ways.

What we need and In time will have Is a system of highways which will ramify from the largest cities to the doorway of the humblest citizen-vil- lager or farmer. Such a system of highways will include trunk lines with expensive concrete or brick surfaces for the very heavy traffic. including trucks and automobiles. Less used but important roads may be of waterbound macadam or gravel. Perhaps In cer- tain regions where stone and gravel are not at hand oiled roads may prove most economical and practical. Minor wagon ways must remain of native soil, built and maintained with the road drag. Meanwhile antagonism to road dragging breeds in a lack of in- formation or a narrOwness which fails to comprehend the facts.-D. Ward King.

WESTERN CANADA'S
 CROPS
Got an Excellent Start. Bia
 Yields Now Assured.

Never in the history of Western Canada did the seed enter the ground under more favorable conditions. The weather during the month of April was perfect for seeding operations, and from early morning until late at night the seeders were at work, and every acre that could be profitably sown was placed under requlsition. Farmers entered heart and soul into the campaign of greater production. There was the time and the opportu- nifty for careful preparation, and as . consequence with favorable weather from now on there will be a vastly in. creased yield. They realized 1t was a duty they owed to humanity to produce all that they could on the land, not only this year but next as well. In addition to the patriotic aspect, they are aware that the more they produce the greater will be their own return in dollars and cents.
 In many districts wheat seeding was completed by the 1st of May, after which date oats and barley on larger acreages than usual were planted.
 As has been said, favorable weather conditions made possible excellent seed-bed preparation. and the seed has gone into the ground in unusually good shape. The available moisture in tho soil has been added to by rains, which have not been so heavy. however. as to Interfere long with the work in tho fields. The grain Is germinating read fly. and on many fields the young green blades of the cereal are already show. Ing. oE
 An optimistic feeling prevails among farmers that Western Canada will reap . record harvest. If the season from now on Is as favorable as 1t has begun, these hopes should be realized. Mir. J. D. McGregor of the Federal Food Board. who is also an old and success full farmer in Western Canada. assert. ed few days ago at Calgary that crop conditions throughout the Prairie Provinces were excellent. Speaking generally" he said, "the crops have never gone into the ground in better shape than this year. and with an even break of luck as far as the weath. .r Is concerned. there should be an enormous crop" His present duties in connection with the Food Control Board, taking him in all parts of the West. Mir. McGregor has exceptional opportunities of observing conditions ul over the country.-Advertisement.

It was found that the tractor not only easily does the work of six or eight horses. but better and In less time. Two men only are required as compared with four required with the former system. Besides, double the ground is covered.
 When the tractor Is used with the road drag. one man. driving the trac- tor, can round up and smooth as much state road in half a day as one man with a pair of horses In one day and a half. The tractor hauls four to six

BENEFIT OF IMPROVED ROADS
Make t Possible to Consolidate and Estabiish Graded Schools h Ru-

CPrepared by the United States Depart.
 ment of Agricultural
 That improved roads would benefit our country-schoOi system there would seem to be no doubt. Good roads make it possible to consolidate or centralize the schools and to establish graded schools in the rural districts. Such schools centrally located will accom- modate all of the children within a radius of four or i've miles. In many communities having the advantage of improved roads connections buildings have been provided. more competent teachers employed. and modern facili- ties for teaching supplied at a mini mum cost.

For the first time an experiment in temporary improvement of deep sand roads by use of carpet of straw. hay, or wire grass, sprinkled with tar or bituminous produce. will be tried on Wisconsin highways in the vicinity of Ria, Columbia county.

OUR BOYS ~ovER THERE"

Tn a very little while now there will be a million American boys on the firing line in France and Flanders.
 Already there are some mill lions of British and French boys on that line-bOys who have been there. some of them. for four years. offering their lives in defense of your home quite as much as of their own. warding Off the atrocities of the Boche brutes from your loved ones. though they have not been quite able to ward them on from their own mothers and sisters.
 All of those boys, ours and others, will remain there. and the cry They shall not pass!" will be made goOd-sO long as the flow of American meats across the ocean is ample and uninfer- rupted.
 The requirement of us at home is a very simple requirement.
 It does not limit us in any way to a meatless diet. It leaves us large choice of very excellent meats.
 But 1t does demand that we eat less of beef, no canned beef, and not too much of any meat that is at all suitable for over seas
 Of course. none of us would deliberately fall to do that little bit for the men who are sacri- 6cing for us their treasure of youth and hope and love. No American worthy the name ex- alts his belly above the sacred things of home and country.
 Only some of us might be thoughtless.
 Therefore take thought.

BUILD FABRICATED VESSELS"
Made Inland and Assembled on

London.-"Fabricate vessels are one of the latest and most interesting developments of Great Britain's ship building drive. A fabricated ship is one whose component parts are manu- factured in other than shipbuilding yards. usually in plants inland. The new fabricated ship is larger than most of the standard ships and there Is not a curved frame in 1t.
 In fabrication of ships the aim was to increase speed of production and also to utilize for shipbuilding pur- poses such plants as bridge-building yards and land engine factories.
 It Is expected that ships of the new type soon will materially Increase the tonnage output.

Counterfeiter Shortage
 Another Result of War

Washington. The war has caused shortage even of coun- terfelters.
 The spurious ten-dollar note, the fashioning of which was the favorite indoor sport of a group of skilled imitators. has prac- tically disappeared. 1t was said by secret service operatives. who are inclined to the belief that the slump Is directly due to the war. It was thought that the foreign members of these bands had been rounded up in the mobilization of reservists, and that the Americans had been taken in the draft. However. secret service operatives are not resting on their oars. On the contrary. recognizing the pOssi- bility of new talent appearing almost at any time. they are continuing to subject the na- tion's paper currency to the closest scrutiny.
