STATES SPEED oP.
GRAFTON OF FEDERAL
AID ROAD ACT.

Probably the most significant
result thus far Of the operation
of the federal aid road act has
been the enactment by a num-
Der Of state legislatures of effec-
tive road laws. Legislative &C.
ton in some states was neces-
sary to meet the requirements
of the federal act, but many of
the states have gone further
and have recast their highway
policies. All the states have as
sented to the provisions of the
act-42 by their legislatures
and six by their governors.
Thirty-three had a highway de-
partment within the meaning of
the act upon the date of it's ap-
proval; the remaining Is have
since enacted legislation Great
ing highway departments which
comply with the terms of the
law. The highway departments
in 18 states have been greatly
strengthened, specific appropria-
tons to meet the federal funds
have been made by ten, and
comprehensive maintenance leg
islation has been enacted in
nine states. Forty-two states
now have satisfactory m0inten-
ance laws. Nearly all the states
have submitted definite schemes
or programs of work for the en-
tire five.year period covered by
the act, or for the greater por-
ton Of it. The formulation of
carefully prepared plans for the
full period in advance of con-
%struction tends to prevent waste

RECORD POTATO CROP MUST
BE CONSUMED OR WASTED

Our potato crop last year is
estimated to have been 1885,
600 bushels-the largest ever
produced in the United States.
This crop cannot be carried over
the 1913 season. It must be con-
sumed or wasted. The food stu
alton throughout the world de.
mands that it be consumed ef-
fectively to relieve the existing
strain on the supply of cereals.
; 1t Is the one great food resource
. of the world upon which there is
; now danger Of a heavy loss.
, The department Of agriculture
i. Is Of the opinion that the situa-
! ton demands that farmers sell
. freely; that the larger dealers
. move their stocks rapidly; that
! the retailer content himself with
) the smallest possible margin of
! profit. realizing that he is now
! the most important factor in
! speeding up potato consumption:
and that consumers buy and eat
! literally Of this plentiful food.

SECRETARY HOUSTON
STATES WAR ROAD.
BUILDING POLICY.

So far as it is practicable to
do so, this department will urge
the maintenance of the high
ways already constructed; the
construction and completion of
those highways which are vital
~ important because Of their
bearing upon the war situation
or for the movement Of COM
modities; the postponement of
all highway construction rela-
lively less essential or not based
upon important military or eco
nomic needs. The department
is preparing to suggest to the
state highway departments the
proposition Of a schedule Of
work for the federal aid pro-
jects for 1918 in line with this
policy.-Secretary Houston. in

GET EGGS AND-MEAT
FROM KITCHEN WASTE

prepared by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculturc.)
In every household, no matter
how economical the housewife,
there is a certain amount Of ta-
BILE scraps and kitchen waste
which has feeding value, but
which If not fed, finds its way
into the garbage pail.
Poultry is the only class of do
nestle animals which is suitable
for converting this waste mate
rial. right where it is produced
in the city, into wholesome and
nutritious food in the form Of
eggs and poultry meat.
Each hen in her pullet year
should produce ten dozen eggs.
The average size of the back
yard flock should be at least ten
hens. Thus each flock would
produce in a year 100 dozen eggs
which, at the conservative value
|, of % cents a dozen, would be
worth $25.
BY keeping a backyard poul-
; try flock the family would not
, only help in reducing the cost of
; living but would have eggs of a
!. quality and freshness which are
. often difficult to obtain.
Remember that eggs produced
|. by the backyard flock cost very
) little, as the fowls are fed large
, ~ upon waste materials.

seaIioped Potatoes and Cheese.
Arrange a layer of sliced raw or
boiled potatoes in creased baking dish
and sprinkle with grated cheese and a
little flour. Repeat until dish is near
ly full. Pour milk over the whole,
about one-half cupful to every three
potatoes. Skim milk is good. Bake
in a moderate oven until done. The
length of time required depends upon
whether the potatoes are raw or
boiled and whether the baking dish
used is deep or shallow. Boiled pota-
toes baked In a shallow dish will take
only 20 minutes. Raw potatoes in a
deep dish may take as much as one
and one-half hours.

tom with mashed potatoes. Add

minutes until a delicate brown on top.

sive houses for their fowls without
giving a thought to the real needs of
the hen. Nothing plays a more i'm.
portant part in regulating the condi-
ton of the house than does location.
Wherever possible the house should
be built on a southern slope and it is
better if there is some protection, as a
grove of trees, to the north. This will
give the house plenty Of sunlight dur
ing the greatest possible time and will
also protect it from the cold winter
winds.

SAVE A LITTLE
SUGAR TODAY.
Use Sweet Fruits.

Sugar consumption in many
households can be easily low
cred not only by giving prefer.
ence to dishes which contain lit
tie sugar or with which sugar
is not usually served. but also
by the use Of sweet fruits. For
instance, fresh fruits or baked
apples may serve instead of
sweet buildings, or a salad in
place Of dessert. Sweet, dried
fruits such as dates, raisins or
hgs served with breakfast ce-
reals will reduce the sugar
, needs.

LIBERTY LOAN
INTEREST RATES

Secretary McAdoo officially cor
rects stat ment appearing in various
newspapers that the Fourth Liberty
Loan will bear interest at the rate Of
Az per cent. He states that no thot
has been entertained of issuing the
bonds of the fourth loan at higher
rate than AZ per cent
1t is interesting to recall here the
Secretarys appeal in his Third Liber-
tys Loan speeches that the rate of in
terest for Government loans be sta
bilized at 4 per cent. He said then
that as an intelligent people we
should make stand for the financing
of our Government during the period
of the war at a stabilized rate of in
terest, naming "A per cent as the
proper figure, so that all business and
investments might be adjusted on
that basis. In his letter to Majority
Leader Kitchin he strongly urges sta
bilizing the rate at A a per cent.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has
also asserted he did not think that
the patriotism of the American pe0-
ple was measured by the rate of in
terest on a Government bond, and
the support the people gave the Third
Liberty Loan seems to have justified
his belief.
