MAINTENANCE IS A PROBLEM
Under Constant Flow of Heavy Traffic
Main Trunk Lines Have Been
Badly Broken Up.

Following the extension OF the use
Of mOtortrucks for overland travel I'm
the endeavor to relieve the railroads
Of the burden OF strenuous wartime
traffic, under which they have been
laboring, it is but natural that the
question of highway maintenance
should come up for attention at this
time
1t is now conceded that much has
been done through the use OF motor
propelled vehicles over the through
connected highways of the country
Tor the purposes mentioned above.
Literally thousands of heavy motor
trucks are now upon the road, mate
rally speeding up the delivery OF war
time necessities. The Lincoln high
way, particularly in the Eastern states,
has proved its high value over and
over again; other trunk highways have
also been called upon to carry an ex-
ceptiOnal burden Of this freight traffic.
This movement has all been car
ried on with the absolute approval OF
the federal government, and more,
through the activities OF the highway
transport committee of the council of
national defense, a further extension
of this use of our public highways is
being urged.
Under this constant flow of traffic
the Lincoln highway, and certain other
roads in the East, are rapidly break
ing down, the road surface rapidly dis
integrating under the pressure OF the
driving wheels of the massive trucks.
Up to the time when truck trains were
started over the roads, the Lincoln
highway in its entirety across the
state OF Pennsylvania, was a veritable
boulevard; its surface was, in the
main, macadam; the road was the
pride of the state OF Pennsylvania;
large sums were expended in its care

Originated With Webster.

''When began the custom for indi-
viduals and audiences to be standing
when the tStar-Spangled Banner was
sung or played?'
1t was a fair question. It was adopt
ed by the army and navy long ago
but the army and navy did not origi-
nate the very appropriate and patriotic
custom
Between sixty and seventy years
ago, when Jenny Lind, one OF the
sweetest singers the world ever pro-
duced. was the chief attraction at
Boston concert, Daniel Webster, the
great senator, secretary OF state and
patriot. was present.
Jenny Lind sang the '-Star-Spangled
Banner" as only that songbird could
sing it. The audience called her back
several times, and she sang a verse
OF our present national anthem
Each time one man stood I'D. and
at the close gracefully bowed to the
singer. That was Daniel Webster
II was q good example to set, a
needed custom TO establish, and one
that has been an important factor in

ganized and poorly armed, dared to challenge the
tyranny of a king.
The stirring events which eliminated in the
taking OF Frances fortress of feudaIism were in
motion early in July, 1885, and two great char
acters in the history of France and the United
States were in the French capital at that very
time The Marquis de Lafayette, after consulting
with Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declara-
ton of Independence, presented to the national
assembly bill of rights. Had the French acted

was the symbol, the structure was the develop

of a pair of towers and part of the stone

GET RETURNS FROM POULTRY
Oh Many Farms Products From Fowls
Can Be Counted on as Practically
Clear Profit.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
The farmer who raises the ordinary
grains and keeps some live stock has
perhaps the greatest opportunity that
has ever come to him for making
profit from poultry. The possibilities
for profit are perhaps not so large as
they used to be for the special poultry
farmer, and that fact may have led
some general farmers to believe that
the situation applies in some way to
them; but. there exists just here an
unusual paradox. The very conditions
that may make poultry and egg pro-
ductiOn q losing enterprise on the spe-
ciaIized poultry farm tend to make it
an increasingly gainful one for the
general farmer. Where nearly all
of his feed has to be bought at high
prices, the margin between cost of pro-
ductiOn and proceeds from sale be-
comes extremely narrow, but where
practically all of the poultry feed is
made up of waste materials that would
otherwise not be utilized in any man.
ner, the percentage of profit becomes
very much larger when prices are
when prices were low. Poultry on
the farm obtain a very great part of
their feed by fOraging. by cleaning the
waste from stable yards and feeding
lots, by consuming the scraps from the
kitchen door, by preyirg upon insect
pests in pasture and field. and in
only a relatively smsH degree from
grain or other commodities that would
be marketable. A farmer whose pOul
try is fed in this way may count
all of the money received for eggs
and surplus poultry as practically
clear profit. When, therefore, eggs
and poultry are selling at higher prices
than have usually been obtainable, the
farmers margin of profit without eX-
penditure is very greatly increased.
1t is, therefore, to the farmers OF
the country that the nation must look
for the greater part of the immedi-
ate increase of poultry products which
will make it possible to supply our
own army and navy with red meats
and at the same time furnish the allies
with the animal foods they need.
