MILLIONS FOR NEW
ROADS ARE IN SIGHT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Many
millions of dollars from the federal
treasury will be available for immed-
late road building III Kansas and Mis-
souri, under a rider" to the Postoffice
Appropriation Bill that has been :
greed to by the Senate postal ON
mittee.
Road Building on Huge Scale.
The rider" designed to furnish en-
ployment during the difficult period of
reconstruction, provides that in add
ton to the present government appro-
priations to meet state and local ap-
preparations for road building, there
shall be spent during the next thirty
months the enormous sum of 225 mil
lion dollars. 1t is provided that SO
million dollars of this shall be avail
able up to June 80 this year, the end
of the fiscal year, in the hopes of get
ting states and localities busy at once
on road building projects and aiding
the employment situation that much.
1t is provided that IS million dollars
annually shall be appropriated for
the next two years from June 80 On.
This sum- together with the large reg
ular appropriations the government
has already made under the Federal
Aid" Act, it is believed will inaugurate
road building throughout the entire
country, on a scale unprecedented IN
the Nations history. The 225 million
dollars is not to be given to the states
outright. It is to be apportiorad
among the various states on exactly
the same terms as provided in the
Federal Aid Act and the states or local
subdivisions thereof must meet the
government money with a like amount.
However, instead of each state having
only a limited amount of government
money available to meet local approp-
riations, the government will stand
ready to put up many millions. In
fact, there will be enough government
funds to meet statewide projects, in
stead of local ones.

HEAR OF A FARMER
KILLING LICE WITH
ATTN GAN

No? Well neither did we. Yet that
is practically what you are asked Co
do today if you buy Sheep Dip. Why?
Simply because Sheep Dip is selling at
IS cents per quart put up in Quart
Cans. That is, it is at most stores.
Now as there happens to be Four GU
arts to each gallon, that makes it
cost you Three Dollars per gallon.
Ever read the directions on a can of
Dip? It,says Dip all towels (Excep-
ting the very young). What are
you going to do with the Baby Chick,
Let them die from lice?
Now we have just taken the Agency
for Carb-o-Lene a Liquid Lice Killer
(Not a dip) Which kills the Mite mites
~and Lice (Body Lice) Without Catch
ing each hen separate and dipping
them. How? Simply paint or spray
the roost full strength. Vapor arising
kills the body lice without dipping or
busting. Sounds pretty good doesn't it
Most to. good to be true. But listen
we have made arrangements with The
Manufactures to have one of their
Saleshmen call on you, Demonstrate
the goods, and if after he has shown
what Carh.o-Lene will do, you wish
to-t~zft, he will leave you any amount
ssh to try. Try it thirty days, if
satisfactory pay US, IF NOT, TELL
US. That's fair, isn't it? But as the
roads are very bad, we would advise
that when you come to town; that you
come in and get a supply of Carb-O-
Lene. If it isn't satisfactory, we will
refund your money. Now we said
Sheep Dip was worth five cents per
| Quart OF Three dollars per gallon. But
that is because Of Cans. Now we have
a full barrel of Carb-O -Lene, and if
you will furnish your own can, we will
sell it to you at $1.OO per gallon. You
h6dfnish the can. We furnish printed
directions.
Now you viii surely let US prove
what Carb-O-Lene will do, won't you?
