Haiti has forbidden the export of

Haiti has forbidden the export OF
foodstuns to countries at war with
the United States and countries asso-
ciated with them In the war.
The year Of 1917 established new
high production records for corn,
oats, rye, white and sweet potatoes
tobacco, beans and onions.
Arrangements have been made for
some relaxation of the restrictions
on the export Of foodstuffs to Cuba,
whose people are greatly dependent
on the United States for their food
supply. Among the exports which
may be licensed In limited quantities
are condensed milk, butter and
cheese, pork and pork products, beef
and beef products, and dried fruits.
The 16 cantonnients built for the
training Of soldiers cost $4,000, 900
with net profit to contractors OF
2.98 per cent
Government estimates OF the pro-
duction OF petroleum in the United
States in 1917 place 1t at nearly IA
per cent greater than any previous
year.

Maintenance for Adult for Year 1.
Found

1t costs $1,000 a year to main
tain one adult for one year on the
average American farm, according to
Investigations conducted by Mr..
Tracy Abel. instructor in horticul-
ture at the Utah Agricultural Col
lege. Mr.. Abel has found that 1t
costs to keep the average adult, 346
In labor, $2S for house rent, $22 for
groceries, $21 for dairy products, 81
for pork. s12 for poultry and eggs,
$13 for fuel. $40 for vegetables. IS
for fruit and IS for beef. Another
very interesting fact shown by Mr..
Abell's investigation is that 67.3 per
cent Of the food consumed in a year
by the average adult on the average
American farm is In the form of ami
NAL products. either meat, milk, but
ter. cheese, poultry or eggs. Grocer
les make 24.S per cent OF the total,
vegetables 11.6 per cent and fruits
6.3 per cent.
These figures are necessarily based
on pre-war statistics.

HOW TO PREVENT ROAD DUST
Breaking Up Of Ridges Formed When
Roadbed 10 Wet From Standing
Water Causes Trouble.

Dust in the road is largely caused
by the breaking up Of the ridges
formed when the road bed is wet from
standing water. If the roadbed is
kept well crowned and smooth water
will run off. The surface will soften
up some In case Of long rain, but 1t
will not be nearly so bad as when
there are ruts which hold the water.
The wheels Of each passing vehicle
make the rut 4 little deeper. The
best way to keep the roadbed smooth
Is to run over 1t with the road drag
This should be done soon after 1t
rains. The soil is then soft so it can
be easily scraped of and dropped into
any depressions. The harrow also
lays the soil down in layers. 1t sort
Of plasters 1t down, which makes a
harder surface than when the soil is
dumped onto the roadbed. The road
drag Is the most effective dust proven
ter except oiling the roads.

ATTENTION TO SIDE BITCHES
Provision Should Be Made to Remove
All Surface Water Rapidly
Guard Against Erosion.

Special attention should be paid to
providing side bitches which will re-
move all surface water rapidly. Side
bitches on long, steep grades should
be protected against serious erosion
by riprap, transverse timbers or other
beams. Culverts and bridges should
be Of ample size and be built as per-
manent structures. Drain tile should
be laid to carry of underground wa
ter. Side bitches which are kept clean
and have sufficient slope to lead the
water away are usually preferable to
tile drainage, but the latter Is neces-
sary In some places.

The state law Of Idaho relating to

vagrancy says In substance that any
'oafer, professional vagrant, frequent
er of box-cars for sleeping purposes,
gad-abouts on the streets till late
hours of the night. beggars and the
Ike, prostitutes, etc., may be pinched
after they have been in any ineorpor

thrown into jail or on the city stone

Pocatello the time has been reduced
to one day. In a case that went be-

thorities.

affects its operation. II a short hitch
is used the tendency is to raise the
front edge Of the drag, while longer
hitch makes it cut deeper and move
more material. The correct length Of
hitch to use depends upon the height
of the team, arrangement of harness,
etc., and must be determined by trial.
The amount of skew or angle which
the drag makes with the center line
of the road also affects the results.
The greater the skew Il. e., the small
er the angle between the drag and the
center line of the road) the more
earth will be moved toward the cen
ter. Usually this skew angle should
be about As degrees, but here again
the judgment and experience of the
operator must be brought into play.
The driver can control the opera
ton to large extent by shifting his
position upon the drag. When he ap-
proaches a high spot In the road he
can step toward the front, thus max
ing the blade cut deeper, while at a
depression he can step toward the
rear, In this way raising the cutting
edge and dumping the earth which Ii
being pushed ahead Of the drag. BY
stepping toward the end Of the drag
nearest the center OF the road he can
increase the skew and 80 move more
earth toward the center line, while
stepping to the other end Of the drag
has the opposite effect. In road drag
ging 1t Is especially true that 'prac-
tice makes perfect" provided that COM

long as we are in the Jerome school

demand that our children receive
their education under the same con-
ditions that other children in the

do that unless we centralize our

Let us have a postoffice also on each
