Improved Road Talk
Gives Way TO Work

farming is the most predominant
among the occupations.
"It is estimated that Kansas,
which will spend $S,OO0,0OO ON bet
tering its roads, will buy 10000 mo-
tor trucks in the same period.
Minnesota has a road-building
program calling for the expenditure
of $11,217,9S6.
As an illustration OF what the far
mer in this great state things of the
motor truck might be cited a state
ment recently issued by the North
western National Bank in Minneapo-
lis in which 1t is said that trucks
in large numbers, intended for i'm
mediate use in marketing grain, are
being held to this large buying class
(the farmefs), and elevator scales in
many places are being revamped to
accommodate the growing fleet of
farmers trucks.
Iowa. potential buyer of many
motor trucks, will spend $40, 0,49S,534
on better highways.
"Thus II goes. In the farming
communities the coming of the mo-
tor truck has made the era of good
roads talk give way to the era Of
good roads construction. The far
mer is doing his full share, to the
best of .his ability, in linking his
community to the city market"

First Health Board
on Baltic Coast
(By the United Press)

REVEL, Esthonia-(By Mail. y
The republic of Esthonia, one of the
half dozen political offshoots of the
old Russian empire, has established
national bureau of public health
the first institution of its kind to be
founded by one of the new Baltic
states.
Esthonia's national health bureau
came into being as the result of a
series of conferences, just concluded,
between Minister-Presiden Strong
mann and Lieutenant Colonel Ed
ward NJ. Ryan of Scranton, Pa,
American Red Cross commissioner
for western Russia. Colonel Ryan
insisted on the establishment of the
national health board Gs q condition
precedent to the enlargement of the
American relief program in Esthon-
ian territory.
Since its establishment as an in
dependent state, Esthonia has had
no centralized medical control The
Red Cross was early on the scene
with medicines and hospital supplies
which we're distributed to the insti-
tutions found to be in the greatest
need. Local organizations were
hampered in their work in the inter-
ior because of the difficulty attend
ing a proper ALLEGATION of the relief
supplies coming into Reval.

Women of Armenia
Help Build Roads
(By the United Pressl

MARASH, Mesopotamia, Oct. 25.
One hundred miles of stone roads
and several reconstructed steel
bridges are among the permanent
monuments that America will leave
in this part of the Near East.
When the Red Cross arrived here
i tfound that the condition of the
highways would hamper its relief
operations among the refugee Ar
menians in this district. So it set
about to rebuild stretches of roads
between Aintaub, Aleppo and Marash.
Captain Edward Bickel, of Seattle,
Washington, was placed in charge of
the engineering work. He had to
overcome difficulties which would
have halted many contractors of pub
lie works in America. There was no
male labor, materials were scarce.
and small burros and camels were
the only means of transport
He settled the labor question by
hiring Armenian women, who were
glad to have employment of any kind.
There were 500 Armenian women on
the payroll of the Red Cross in this
road building work Materials were
attained from abandoned homes
which had been partly demolished
during the war Conveys of noun
tain burros and camels were hired
to transport the material.
In less than four months this fe-
male labor and ancient transport,
under American direction, had recon-
structed 100 miles of roads, rebuilt
several ruined bridges over tribu-
taries of the Euphrates river, and
made possible the speedy distribution
of Red Cross supplies in this dis
trict.

Warns Against
SuIfur for Smut

Farmers should think twice before
mixing sulfur with seed, at the time
of planting to prevent smut in grain,
believes H. P. Barss, professor of bot
any and plant pathology at the Ore
gon Agricultural college. A Califor-
MIA sulfur company is urging use OF
sulfur for this purpose asserting that
it has evidence of its effectiveness.
Sulfur as a means of smut control
has not been given experimental
trials in Oregon or in any part Of the
northwest in the knowledge of Pro-
fessor Barss. In most cases the treat
ment would be failure in Oregon,
although it might prove a success in
certain parts of California, he thinks.
Growers are warned against coming
to the conclusion that because in
some instances this method seems to
have produced favorable results in
California the treatment would be .
success in Oregon.
Nothing is more reliable than the
old blue stone method followed by
the lime bath for control of wheat
smut" says Professor Barss. "Es-
pecially as the cool weather ap-
proaches this method should take
precedence over the formaldehyde
method because of definite knowl-
edge that formaldehyde is not quite
so effective in cold as in warm
weather and also results in tenden-
cy on the part of the seedlings to be
somewhat weaker when conditions
for prompt termination do not exist.
"Blue stone alone is not recon-
mended as it produces serious germi-
nation injury unless followed by lime
bath. With this, however, the meth
cd is satisfactory. The presence OF
slight blue stone deposit on the
grains seems to protect against at
tack of soil fungi which sometimes
late in the season are active in caus
ing the seeds to rot in the soil where
termination is slow"

47.56 pounds fat The heaviest milk
producer was Holstein cow giving
1873 pounds milk, and the biggest
fat yielders were a Holstein and a

Let products flow smoothly from
'land to men" summarizes the U. s.
Department of Labors point of view
in offering solution of the high
cost of living problem.
1.-THE farm community" the de.
partments report says, Should be
linked with the city market. Rail
way, waterway and motor truck SER
vice should be effectively co-ordinat-
ed. Farm products such as milk.
eggs, poultry, fruit and vegetables
can, on seventy-five per cent of the
farms, be carried in small contain
ers and sent direct into the cities by
truck, thus relieving the burden on
the railroads"
Upon reading the report the ques-
tion which naturally arises is. are
the farming communities awakening
to the need of doing their share in
creating the channels by which their
products may flow smoothly from
'land to men,"
I An array Of facts and figures are
brought forth by e. Farr, director
of the Firestone Ship by Truck Bu-
reau. at Akron. o., to support his
affirmative answer The bureau.
which has SO branches in the United
States, keeps in touch, through
these branches and its special inves-
tigators, with all matters affecting
the motor truck and its uses.
Motor trucks on improved high
ways" says Mr.. Farr, "offer the
farmers OF the nation the best OPP
portunity Of starting products on a
smooth flowing movement from
land to men" And today the
United States is carrying on the big
gest highway improvement cam
paign in its history and in the his
tory of the world At the some time
the factories are turning out an in
creasingly large number OF motor
trucks. most of which will go to
farmers or into the service OF farm
ers. II would appear, then. that the
farmer is awakening fully to his OPP
portunities in this respect.
"He is simplifying his end OF the
distributive system by making It pos
sible TO speed his products TO mar
ket. thereby lessening the number
: OF agencies through whose hands
these products will pass. with the
consequent narrowing OF the circle
Of those who might he tempted Ia

Figures recently announced by
the International Shipping Digest
show that during the current twelve
months 1915. 100000 will be er.
pended on road improvements and
maintenanceof roads in the United
States. From reliable sources 1t Is
estimated that in the same period
the country will manufacture $780,.

\
BERLIN.-(By Mail. )-Germany
still has muzzle-or perhaps halter
is the better word-on her press.
German authorities resent such
claim, and the press probably won't
admit it, but nevertheless it is a
fact There is no censorship in the
strict sense of the word, but the
newspapers print practically what
they are permitted to say-and no
more. II paper gets beyond the
bounds of 'what the German gov
ernment regards as propriety either
in its news or editorials, Noske
quickly attends to the case of that
publication.
So, perhaps, it is small wonder
that the press heeds the halter, and
behaves properly.
And the government still clings TO
the old institutions. The Allgemeine
Zeitung which used to be the official
mouthpiece of the kaiser regime is
still purveyor of inspired news for
the government. The government
still clings to the Wolff telegraph
bureau as its distributor of official
and inspired tidings, giving 1t pref
erence over other agencies and in
dividuals. In fairness, be II said that
few men connected with the gov
ernment. who have had experience
with American journalism have striy-
en- to divorce the government and
the presto play fairly with every
body and to avoid the official doc
toring" of news.
But their views go for naught.
Germany has shaken off many of the
old institutions, but there are a few
lessons she has failed to learn,--
and one is the matter of publicity.
Rarely IL ever does a newspaper
complain of the system. The Ger
man papers have become accuctomed
to having their lesson read to them
taking what was handed them and
seeking no more, and it is difficult to
get out of the rut Once in great
while paper chirps up gently over
governmental discrimination.
Daily the papers are allowed
glimpse at how the wheels go round
as seen through strictly govern
mental eyes. At such times, they
are dropped some crumbs OF infor-
nation, but to large extent are
told what to print and what not to
print.
Recently, the government has been
boosting the cable rates, making it
constantly more expensive to send
news out OF Germany. OF course.
the government argues that the rate
of exchange is such that the tolls are
only slightly raised. However, this
argument does not hold when the ad-
vances are examined carefully, and
especially when the wretched condi-
tion OF the cable system is consid-
cred.
Germany wants the rest OF the
world to know about herself, but
Post and Telegraphs Minister Gies-
berts runs his shop with high hand
and disregards his conferes' advice
against making communication with
the outside world 100 difficult and
expensive.

ACID IN STOMACH
souRs the FOOD
Says Excess Of HydroehIorie Acid !.
Cause Of Indigestion

A wellknown authority states thu,
stomach trouble and indigestion are
nearly always due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lleve, from a lack Of digestive Juices
he states that an excess OF hydroch-
ioric acid IN the stomach retards d.
gestion and starts food fermentation
tnen our meals sour like garbage in
a can, forming acid fluids and gases
winch initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. We then get th-t heavy
lumpy feeling in the chest, we eruc-
tate sour food. belch gas, or have
heartburn, flatulence, waterbrash. or
nausea.
He tells US to lay aside all digest
I've acids and instead. get from any
pharmacy four ounces Of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a xlass of
water before breakfast while it is ef-
fervescing. and furthermore, to con-
tinue this for one week. While re-
lief follows the first dose. it is i'm
portant to neutralize the acidity. re-
move the gas-making mass, start the
liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus
promote free flow of pure digestive
juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and Ia
made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for stomach trouble with excellent
results.-Adv.
